1 - 2 from 2
So there are the two old commonplaces of moralists set forth in these grand words the unsatisfying character of all merely external delights and possessions, and also their transitory character. They are non-substantial and non-permanent. Nothing that is without a man can make him rich or restful. The treasures which are kept in coffers are not real, but only those which are kept in the soul.
Alexander Maclaren - Expositions of Holy Scripture
Psalms
The principal term, however, is the "ka," image, or, as we say, genius, of the man, a non-substantial double of him which has journeys and adventures to make, and to which the offerings are addressed.
Allan Menzies - History of Religion
A Sketch of Primitive Religious Beliefs and Practices, and of the Origin and Character of the Great Systems
