	Egyptian Consciousness.
		When we consider the idea of the soul at all in connection with consciousness, we generally adopt a kind of neo-Cartesian conception of it: a simplified Christian view of the kind which was accurately, if insultingly, summed up by Gilbert Ryle with the phrase 'the ghost in the machine'.
		This does not by any means exhaust the Egyptian vocabulary of personhood, but I think it is enough to be going on with; I am already in danger of trying to bring together systematically views which may not actually have been part of a fully coherent system.
		A twenty-first century person, after all, might well believe simultaneously in the Christian soul, ghosts, the Freudian subconscious, and the multiple personalities of DID, without ever bothering to work out exactly how the different conceptions fitted together, and the chances are the Egyptians were similarly unworried by the odd complexity of their views.
