Now that is something worth thinking about, if not even exploring. (I don't think I'm able of that now, but who knows...)
Regarding Ka, there is an analogy with a double, but not with the so-called astral double in the modern sense. Ka is a channel through which the energy of rituals passes into the otherworld. Ka is an active ritual entity: it is 'fed,' 'invoked,' 'renewed,' and 'strengthened' through rituals. Ka is, therefore, a ritual recipient of life, the one who 'consumes' the subtle essence of offerings. The same applies to the deceased: if the Ka is not fed, it weakens, along with the existence in the Duat. Without the Ka, the body is dead, the Ba wanders, and the Akh does not manifest. The Khaibit is a ritually passive but magically sensitive component. The Khaibit does not feed, is not invoked, and is not renewed — but it can be trapped, damaged, or recovered. The Khaibit as a shadow is not a metaphor but a real subtle projection of the being. Indicatively, the Khaibit has no cult of its own in Egypt. This fact itself points to its connection with something forbidden, and therefore magically potent. The Khaibit as a 'shadow' is a vulnerability: whoever controls someone's shadow magically influences the person. For this reason, Khaibit is magical protection of the integrity of being. Khaibit is therefore something closest to what we consider a double.
Are you sure about the name? I do have The Infernal Vampire from this guy, but this book I cannot find.
That is a good book. Though I don't remember if there was anything about the double. There was initiation ritual for sure, tried that one. (and failed)
There was the part where he describes how to create a Bat-humanoid double or something like that. All you have to do is imagine yourself as a giant Bat and fly. When I read that I was mind-blown. As I stated before, you can shapeshift your Astral body into whatever you want. It was only while visualizing that I had the chance to shapeshift. I visualized Myself as Jesus at one point. I felt myself as Jesus.
I can do that, I use chanting, that somehow works by changing me into bat. First time it held for hours so it was rather confusing experience, to feel wings while seeing hands... Not to mention different shape of head and teeth. Lol.

Tbh... Some people who had no clue, created their own double and then they do not know what they did. and then they get scared of it
Also, it is stored in the physical body 2 inches above the navel node. It feeks creepy initially. But then you Synch with it over time
I think I've heard about one such story...Tbh... Some people who had no clue, created their own double and then they do not know what they did. and then they get scared of it
