That would be way to much inbreeding Sally.

Take Olympias, Alexander the Great's mother. She was Epirote ( modern day Albania ). So if Alexander wasn't 100% Macedonian, then who is?

Besides, what about me, my children, and grandchild, who are all mixed breeds, surely we have soul in us, Come to think of it I don't imagine a soul having a race.

I'm mixed between oblivion and reincarnation ( As same species, not race or gender ).

Oblivion - That's all I know before awareness.

Reincarnation - Makes such poetic justice. We can't escape until we get ourselves right.

John;

I too struggled with both the Tibetian and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I gave up, nothing there of interest.

The two best ancient texts other than the Bible are:

Tao Te Ching ( The Way of Life ) - It explores our relationship with the universe and beyond.

Bhagavad-Gita ( As It Is ) It explores our relationship with God.

Both are excellent, if you already read them, how about a reread.

Best to all,

Pat

P.S. Thanks Sally, I'll buy Kevin a Christmas gift on your behalf.
