Long ago there was a unique religion that considered the death as a “door” and the possibility of survival to death. This ancestral religion was based on the belief that each individual had two souls, a “ba” and a “ka”, which separated at the death unless steps were taken to prevent this division.
The illusion of a single vision of the two halves as a single self or unit produces a limited view of the inner and outer reality, but when they are integrated, it enhances human consciousness and self awareness in the individual being more responsive to one's surroundings and powering perception.
After death two elements survive:
Mental body (conscious, “ba”)
Emotional body (unconscious, “ka”)
These bodies intermingle and are dependent one of another, if that wholeness or union is shattered after death, the second death occurs. In consequence, the mental body continues on alone (goes to reincarnation) after this division leaving behind the emotional body that then begins to deteriorate and could disintegrate.
So, it is important to maintain sense of continuity and coherence of self experience attained during life time and while passing through the doors of death. This kind of “reunion” or alchemy of the different souls after death, could be considered as a transmutation to an angelical immortal being. Here the importance of collecting these parts of the self and reintegrating them back into one’s present psyche as it tells the LEGEND OF OSIRIS.
The ancient Christians Gnosticism insisted that genuine truth cannot be discovered by valuing one polarity above the another, “but instead by making the two one”. We unite ourselves by acting the same on the outside from the way we feel on the inside, in accordance with our outer actions what our inner soul urges us to do.
‘When you make the two one,
and when you make
the inside like the outside,
and the outside like the inside,
the above like the below…
then, you will be ready
to enter the Kingdom’
