----Yes, reincarnation is a reality.
why do we fear death,
----Not everyone fears death; those who are comfortable with where
they are spiritually do not fear death, rather they see it as
another phase just as childhood, middle age, later years, etc. You
are incranated right now so you have the opportunity to grow
spiritually; what you do with it is up to you.
yoga practices a sure way to spiritual growth?
----Yes, however not the only way and some may be better suited for
different paths. That is up to you to decide although yoga seems to
be an excellerated way.
> when do i know i am strong in spuirituality,
----You will know when you have made significant progress. It is
rarely an overnight phenonmenon, rather a process that takes
repeated effort.

----These are all Masters, or Self [God]-realized beings. You could
say they represent God; the same God that has placed a spark of
Divinity in you and I.

----I don't enough about Voodoo to answer that.

----Yes, reincarnation is a reality.
I know from experience that karma is real. I have experienced immediate effects of karmic action on many occasions. Karma is attached to your soul, even after you leave this material body, you take the accumulated effects with you. When you reincarnate into another body, your karma, both good and bad, determines how advanced and what situations that you may be born into.

nuff said!

Practicing some yoga can give some spiritual growth. The "sure way" will take much more. One of the practices that many overlook is the practice of Yama and Niyama. This deals with restraint or disciplines and purification of the mind and body. Yoga is much more than postures and breathing exercises.

Controlling emotional responses is an early sign. Non attachment to the outcome of situations is another.
is Jesus God or like others that came say:buddha,mohammed etc.

Beautiful!

There are probably as many belief systems in voodoo as there are in Christianity. The true test is if it is based on the total respect of the God within all beings and nature.
