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.

Keeper of the Scales, The

Spell 22 – The Keeper of the Scales touches the mouth of [name][*] to give him the power of speech:

I have not defrauded the gods of their cake-offerings. I have not carried off the fenkhu cakes offered to the Spirits. I have not committed fornication. I have not masturbated in the sanctuaries of the god of my city. I have not diminished from the bushel.

Kronos

Whatsoever man is filled with admiration for the spectacle of this sensible universe, let him next lift up his thoughts to the truer Reality which is its archetype.

There let him see all things in their intelligible nature, eternal not with a borrowed eternity, but in their proper consciousness and their proper life; their captain also shall he see, the uncontaminable Intelligence and the Wisdom that passes approach, and the true age of Kronos, whose name is Fullness.

Captain Kronos, whose name is Fullness

For in him are embraced all deathless things, every intelligence, every god, every soul, immutable forever.

It is well with him: what should he seek to change?

He has all things present to him: whither should he move?[*]

He did not at first lack this blessed state, then win it: all things are his in one eternity, and the true eternity is his, which time does but mimic; for time must fetch the compass of the Soul, ever throwing a past behind it, ever in chase of a future.

[Plotinus, The Enneads, trans. S. McKenna, p. 144]
