The Egyptians had an understanding that the body was a form of the soul; a reflection of a divine inner being; a perfectly integrated, orchestrated union of entity and vehicle. Even after death, there remained an ethereal bond between the soul and body. They felt that entering a greater state of being depended upon several aspects which included preparation and consecration of the body, ceremonial procedures, and upon the aspirant having lived a life free from ignorance. The selective process was symbolically represented in the popular scene of the "Balance" where the heart of the deceased was weighed against a feather. Should the balance be unfavorable, the deceased's desire for a glorious new life remained unattained. The implications of this understanding were felt in Hebrew and Christian religions and represented one of the earliest introductions of a sense of inner values that served to influence people in their relations to each other.
