But if one watches kittens at play or the exquisite evolutions of tropical fished one is also reminded of many dance movements of the Balinese. We may event feel that the kitten's play is like a dance, though it is obviously very far indeed from the elaborately artificial dance of the Balinese. Yet the kitten's play in it delicate complexity of springs, withdrawals, glancing, pouncing and ambushed seems to cover a world of possible emotions. There is a great element of flay in Balinese dance, not only in the war-play called Pentjak and similar martial 'dances', but in that other world of dance. If the evolutions of tropical fishes, their smooth spells and sudden accents, turns and doublings, infinite lightness and grace, their flickering fins and the rippling life of their glowing bodies seem to use to bear some real relation to Balinese dancing, it is perhaps because the perfectly Balinese is the human exponent of a world where motion and emotion merge even more completely than in our vocabulary. The Balinese let the dance play as trees and tendrils, kittens, monkeys, birds, and fisher flay.
This feeling of continuity is the cornerstone of the local society. Every form of work of creativity is given group expression. The organization of villages, the cultivation of farm land, and even the creative arts are a communal effort. Within his village, a man belongs to his family, his clan, his caste, his community, and to the total of the Balinese people who share in his heritage and surroundings. Religion is as essential as his livelihood. Every new accession, whether is be the firs birthday of child or the completion of house, receives the priest's blessing. Every personal calamity is treated as a shared problem a among family, friends and divine guardians. Only in rare moment throughout his live would a Balinese feel oppressive solitude. Nor is death a separation, but a journey of the soul to resting place in heaven where "life as just in Bali, but devoid of all the trouble and illness," until it is reborn on earth, possibly in the person of a great grandchild.
After creating the world and mountains trees, fruits and flowers, the deities made four human beings whom they provided with tool of work and house to live in. the divine Shiwa then made four women as wives for the four men. The god of love, Semara, made mating a pleasure so that the women could be fertilized, and eventually, the four couples had many children. (From the ancient Catur Yoga)

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
