why do you think so?
I get lust feeling when I see her show something but I dont buy her wisdom... maybe she needs views for video not really trying to help spiritually
I may be slow learner but im at least learning...

If you have presented a choice to come back to this world or not. Evidence is people committing suicide - perhaps it is stepping above Gods will and breaking sila,

elder told him: “If I were to die now, friend, I should obtain the bliss of heaven; I
have no doubt of that. But the bliss obtained by breaking this virtue would be like
the lay state obtained by disavowing the training,” and he added: “I shall die
together with my virtue.” As he lay there, he comprehended that same illness

Unintentional actions excluded.

Suicide is not a precept.
As long as there is one suicide disqualified as unwholesome, you could not qualify it as a precept.
If you put suicide as precept and considered to be right in certain conditions, the whole precepts framework is gonna crumble.
It directly defies the definition of 'precept', it equals precept as discrimination.

In highlights, if suicide is precept, then killing others can also be wholesome under conditions.

One can escape the pain of living, but one can't escape the dimension or place where things happen here and now. Physical body is a vehicle to show the internal suffering potential. I think it is what people refer as eternity, which is ajjhatta and thus also atta/atma. Eternal hell or eternal heaven.

I get lust feeling when I see her show something but I dont buy her wisdom... maybe she needs views for video not really trying to help spiritually

As someone with 5 sisters.That was hella inappropriate answer.What does you having lust feelings have to do with her having wrong view.Everyones trying to attain the highest jhanas and vippasanna state but dont even have the common decency to address a woman respectfully.I would suggest more sila work.
