The Ka

The Ka, also meaning double, was a complex concept for the Ancient Egyptians and in it's most basic understanding, was a spirit double of a person. The hieroglyph for the Ka is are pair of upward arms and symbolised an embrace. To put ones arms around another person in the Ka embrace was symbolic of imparting vital energy into that person. When Atum created his children Shu and Tefnut he held them in the Ka embrace to transfer to them his divine energy.

In one respect the Ka is an etheric body of an individual; the Ka is the life force that comes from the Creator and is able to be transfers through one person to another by means of physical contact.

Also, to go to ones Ka also meant to die, suggesting that their spiritual body, Ka, awaited them at the Otherworld.

Basically your Ka is Neteru's (or The Creators) life force within every living thing. This life force is constantly flowing through and between us, being transferred. Each individual has their justified amount of life source (or it would all run out and you would die) and this speical life source is your individual double. Some say that when you die the life source Ka seeps out of you and this is where your consciousness meets with the Ka in the weighing of the hearts. Even though both the individual double and the life source are both Ka, the later is also referred to a Sekhem, meaning power and is used by many healers and magicians still today (calling the energy Heka)..
