Humans​—“Spiritually Indestructible”

Ronald M. Berndt of the University of Western Australia informs us that Australian Aborigines believe that the cycle of life “continues after death, from the physical to the wholly spiritual, returning in due course to the physical dimension.” This means that “human beings are spiritually indestructible.”

Thus, of the religion of early Australian Aborigines, Ronald Berndt writes: “[It] reflected the variable concerns of people in everyday living. It focused on social relations, on the crises of human existence, and on practical matters of survival.”
