Integration or dissolution of the self?

Many spiritual traditions hold that there is a division between different parts of Human consciousness, and that if they are not integrated, the individual will be dissolved back into the “ONE”.
This subject is at the core of ongoing discussions on this forum…

I have compiled below different qualities associated with each from a book referenced by Michael in some of the courses, written by Peter Novak called “The Lost Secret of Death”. It is written with the connection between those terms and Daoist terminology used by Michael Winn in the Healing Dao, as well as listing cultures from around the world that include this cosmology of the “Binary Soul Doctrine”:

Ka (five jing shen, xin – heart mind):

Unconscious soul
memories
subjective individual self
moral self with conscience
emotional qualities
form
mortal

Ba (original self – thread of oversoul in physical form)

Conscious spirit
free will
awareness
intelligence
ability to move and communicate
objective
collective
immortal
formless

Akh (Zi Ren – authentic integrated self)

All of the above and more

Cultures supporting this theory/experience in various ways:

China
Ancient Egypt
Incan/Toltec
Greece
India
Hawaii
Persia
Early Judaic
Early Christian
Islam
Voudoun
Angola
Siberia
Saami (finland/norway)
Australian aborigine
Inuit
Dakota
Amazonian (various)
pre-buddhist “pli” culture
