Ka and Ba

Ka and Ba are concepts used in the field of psychology and anthropology, particularly in ancient Egyptian beliefs. "Ka" represents a person's life force or spirit, believed to reside within the body and continue after death. It reflects one's essence and vitality. On the other hand, "Ba" represents the personality or individuality, often symbolized as a bird that can move between the living world and the afterlife. Together, Ka and Ba illustrate the ancient Egyptians' understanding of the soul's complexity, highlighting the balance between physical existence and spiritual identity.
