The Ka, an Ancient Egyptian symbol to assist in death.
Thursday, February 14th, 2008The Ka was thought to be the LIFE FORCE or SPIRIT aspect of the soul. It existed independently from the bodily self.
The Ancient Egyptians referred to ‘returning to one’s Ka’ or ‘travelling in the company of one’s Ka’ upon death.
Imagine today the Ka being present as an ally. The Spirit guide that stands by your side, connecting you to the source of life and remaining by your side upon death.
A comforting thought when contemplating our own death or the death of a loved one.
This symbol is a most powerful symbol to include in our funeral rites.
To hide death in the background is bad for man.
Text of the Pyramids,1439
When death comes, it embraces the old like a child in the arms of its mother.
