: [kj] OT: Tsunmi== few thoughts on the topic death,n after

[melinda grant]

certainly should not impose the western views  on the east/far east 
ect....n,btw---theres areas of the world do have a different view on death,n 
personally i agree with them-- as  said earlier by another gatherer-- these 
parts of the world do not believe that death is the end,n that 
re-incarnation plays a heavy role in there thought process-weather that is 
re-incarnation back into this dimention,we all know as planet earth/or 
re-incarnation back into another dimention( as you are all well aware,there 
are many--n those who disagree with that,up to them,i prefur not to limit 
myself to just the 1 dmn)to me makes alot of common sence==the east have it 
right/as in correct way of viewing that thing we all know as death=======mel 
  ps see you in the next dimention/or life lol
