Ka

In Egyptian mythological thinking, any man is made up of five[*] parts:

• The Ka, or etheric double, created at birth, rejoined at death.
• The Ba, or immaterial soul, released at death to protect the body.
• The Saha, or Oversoul (a Jungian collective unconscious?)
• The Name, or flesh, the ‘Achilles’ Heel’ of each physical organism.
• The Shadow, or nemesis, the doom held in store for each individual.
