We believe in the conservation of souls, that no-one can go backwards in their eternal progression.
Question: What are the principles of your life?

Question: Why is there very few ancient graves in your religion?
Answer: Our religion was a way of life where we lived long enough to become an ancestor, if this took two hundred or longer years to achieve, that is why there are such few graves. We only burried the dead who didn't make it to becoming an ancestor. That is why we still know that our ancestors still walk on this land today.
