(10) After Osiris, here symbolized as the sun, had become King of Egypt and had given to his people the full advantage of his intellectual light, he continued his path through the heavens, visiting the peoples of other nations and converting all with whom he came in contact. Plutarch further asserts that the Greeks recognized in Osiris the same person whom they revered under the names of Dionysos and Bacchus. While he was away from his country, his brother, Typhon, the Evil One, like the Loki of Scandinavia, plotted against the Sun God to destroy him. Gathering seventy-two persons as fellow conspirators, he attained his nefarious end in a most subtle manner. He had a wonderful ornamented box made just the size of the body of Osiris. This he brought into a banquet hall where the gods and goddesses were feasting together. All admired the beautiful chest, and Typhon promised to give it to the one whose body fitted it most perfectly. One after another lay down in the box, but in disappointment

(7) Several authors have attempted to prove that Isis, Osiris, Typhon, Nephthys, and Aroueris (Thoth, or Mercury) were grandchildren of the great Jewish patriarch Noah by his son Ham. But as the story of Noah and his ark is a cosmic allegory concerning the repopulation of planets at the beginning of each world period, this only makes it less likely that they were historical personages. According to Robert Fludd, the sun has three properties--life, light, and heat. These three vivify and vitalize the three worlds--spiritual, intellectual, and material. Therefore, it is said "from one light, three lights," i. e. the first three Master Masons. In all probability, Osiris represents the third, or material, aspect of solar activity, which by its beneficent influences vitalizes and enlivens the flora and fauna of the earth. Osiris is not the sun, but the sun is symbolic of the vital principle of Nature, which the ancients knew as Osiris. His symbol, therefore, was an opened eye, in honor of the Great Eye of the universe, the sun. Opposed to the active, radiant principle of impregnating fire, hear, and motion was the passive, receptive principle of Nature.

Stand up, Osiris, 1199 commend N. to those who are on "m is joyous" north of the Marsh of Offerings, 1199 like as thou didst commend Horus to Isis the day that thou didst impregnate her, 1200 that they may give food to N. in the fields, 1200 and that he may drink at the sources 1200 in the Marsh of Offerings.

N. anoints himself with that with which you anoint yourselves; 1512 N. clothes himself with that with which you clothe yourselves; 1512 N. lives on that on which you live; 1512 N. drinks that of which you [drink]. 1513 N. is safe with you, he lives on that on which you live. 1513 May you give him of those possessions which your father Geb gave you, 1513 (so that) because of which none of you may hunger, because of which none of you may rot. 1514 Lay hold of the arm of N. for life before the sweet-smelling ones, 1514 unite the bones of N., assemble his limbs, 1514 that N. may sit upon his throne. 1515 He rots not; he stinks not; 1515 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1516 N. is come to thee, mother of N.; he is come to Nut. 150 Make the sky mount for N.; place the stars upside down for him. 1516 Let his odour be like the odour of thy son, who is come forth from thee; 1516 let the odour of N. be like that of Osiris, thy son, who is come forth from thee. 1517 Nun, lift up the arm of N. towards the sky, that he may support himself (on) the earth which he has given to thee, 151 7 that he may ascend, that he may rise to the sky, 1517 that he may do service of a courtier to R`. 1518 Horus chief of the spirits, who is before the sweet-smelling ones, 1518 awake thou in peace, as R` awakes, in peace; 1518 awake in peace, as Mdi awakes in peace. 1519.
