The ancients believed in an afterlife in which one either went to the realm of the gods or simply ceased to exist. However, even by their standards this was too simplistic a view because they believed in more then just one soul. There was a non-personal soul, and certain souls connected to a more spiritual self. We tend to reject the myth as not literal, but some in the religion still do believe it. I for my part do not, and am not sure what to believe about any afterlife, except that I do believe one exists. I think likely reincarnation.

In Kemetic view, yes animals do have souls. However, just like in Buddhism, their personal souls aren't the same as a human's personal soul, and hence no idea of humans or animals reincarnating into one another.

I will try to address your other questions in my next post since this one is getting long ok?

What kind of afterlife do they believe in? Do animals have souls? Is there any concept of fate/kismet/dharma/karma? What do they think of other religions, especially Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and the Baha'i Faith? What are their attitudes toward GLBTIQA people?

Is this God at all similar to the Hindu concept of AUM?

ok is it monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, panentheistic, henotheistic, or some other -theistic I've never heard of before?

Hey baby, happy Valentine's Day! You're my special RF Valentines.

Ahh, I've not really been reading it. I tend to avoid politics threads.

Ahh, right.

Doing anything? Any threads you're interested in?

Aren't you tired?

I'll have a look

So would you say Nix acts as Shakti in some way?

Is there a primordial manifestation of the feminine, like Shakti?

Awesome that Ra is called the Father-Mother. Sikhism has the same idea of God, too.

Like a foolish child, I have made mistakes. O Lord, You are my Father and Mother. ||1|| (p51)
You are my Father, and You are my Mother. (p103)

etc

So they're like the disciplining mother and the nurturing mother?

Ahhh, cool. So how are the two related to one another?

Ooh, really? That's pretty awesome

To me Durga is the gentleness of Parvati and the fierceness of Kali rolled into one.

Sure - go for it.

His possible homo-erotic nature is no reason to NOT call me when he knows I have an urgent need to talk to him. Maybe I should PM you the whole thing?

He does not need love and support he needs a kick in his butt for treating me like a piece of crap.

Maybe I'm taking my theories too far, but I mean there is really some quite OBVIOUS things or maybe he is acting metrosexual or maybe he just wants to be a kanjar.

"gaydar" HUH?! I mean I'm having theories and I have some "evidence" too, but I'd never tell him, well maybe to **** him off since he's been ******* me off for weeks now!

How do I know when a guy is gay? Or lets say has "bi-sexual tendencies"?
