Where the spirit longs to go → desire → purpose

The desire of oneself vs their purpose in the world:

• A soul (spirit) in many religions is described as the incorporeal essence of a living being
• In Greek, the soul is known as psyche (ψυχή) and comes from the verb "to breath" → in many other cultures, the legend of the creation of man consists of the Gods breathing in the essence of life into an empty shell (aka the human body)
• Psyche in psychology is the totality of the human mind - conscious and unconscious

Ghosts in

1. Mesopotamia:

Gidim: are thought to be created at the time of death by taking the memory and personality of a dead person; a ghost living in the underworld was similar to normal living - they had houses and could meet with people there

1. Egypt:

The soul is separated into several parts

• Khet or the "physical body"
• Sah or the "spiritual body"
• Ren or the "name, identity"
• Ba or the "personality"
• Ka or the "double"
• Ib or the "heart"
• Shut or the "shadow"
• Sekhem or the "power, form"

The shadow sometimes represents the impact a person has on the earth
