Pablo German - Flying To BA

you know, it's my purpose for being it's ingrained in my, "BA", (The ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the Ren, the Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body (called the ha, occasionally a plural haw, meaning approximately sum of bodily parts, The other souls were aakhu, khaibut, and khat, The 'Bâ' (bꜣ), was everything that makes an individual unique, similar to the notion of 'personality'. (In this sense, inanimate objects could also have a 'Bâ', a unique character, and indeed Old Kingdom pyramids often were called the Bâ of their owner). The Bâ is an aspect of a person, that the Egyptians believed would live after the body died, the soul, and it is sometimes depicted, as a human-headed bird flying out of the tomb, to join with the Ka, in the afterlife, In the Coffin Texts one form of the Bâ, that comes into existence after death is corporeal, eating, drinking and copulating. Louis Žabkar argued that the Bâ is not part of the person, but is the person himself, unlike the soul in Greek, or late Judaic, Christian or Muslim thought. The idea of a purely immaterial existence, was so foreign to Egyptian thought, that when Christianity spread in Egypt, they borrowed the Greek word psyche, to describe the concept of soul, and not the term Bâ. Žabkar concludes that so particular was the concept, of Bâto ancient Egyptian thought, that it ought not to be translated, but instead the concept be footnoted or parenthetically explained, as one of the modes of existence for a person, In another mode of existence the Bâ of the deceased, is depicted in the Book of Going Forth by Day, returning to the mummy and participating in life, outside the tomb in non-corporeal form, echoing the solar theology of Re, (or Ra), uniting with Osiris each night. The word bau, (bꜣw), plural of the word ba, meant something similar to 'impressiveness', 'power', and 'reputation', particularly of a deity. When a deity intervened in human affairs, it was said that the Bau of the deity were at work as, standardz, hahahahahaha, :) #edio
