Translations:Astral ka/18/en

This method is safe and sane and healthy for all and allows the soul the freedom from all earthly ties as the four lower vehicles are demagnetized simultaneously by the physical fire and the spiritual fire, and the soul, as the winged symbol of the ka,^[1] takes flight with the flying Eagle to pursue the initiations of the Mother in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood.

↑ In the religion of ancient Egypt, the ka was the name for the non-physical part of a person, that which survived the death of the physical body. The original meaning of the term is uncertain, and it has been variously translated as “soul,” “spirit” or double.” Some authorities believe that it was originally used to describe the protecting divine spirit of a person (what we might term the I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self). Sanat Kumara uses it here to describe the soul under the guidance of the Higher Self. However, the Ascended Masters most often use the term to describe the astral shell, and this seems to be the way in which it was used in later times in Egypt, when religion had degenerated under the influence of false priests and the people became polarized to the psychic instead of spiritual planes.
