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.
