It was free to move from place to place on earth at will; and it could enter into heaven and hold converse with the gods.

Then there was the 'Ba', or 'soul', which dwelt in the 'Ka', and had the power of becoming corporeal or incorporeal at will; 'it had both substance and form....
It had power to leave the tomb....

It could revisit the body in the tomb ...

and could reincarnate it and hold converse with it.' Again there was the 'Khu', the 'spiritual intelligence', or spirit.

It took the form of 'a shining, luminous, intangible shape of the body.'...
Then, again, there was the 'Sekhem', or 'power' of a man, his strength or vital force personified.
