(263) 337 To say: The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for R`, that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon. 337 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Harachte that Harachte may ferry over therewith to R`. 337 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N. that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to R`. 337 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N. that he may ferry over therewith to Harachte, to R`. 338 It is good for N. (to be) with his ka; N. lives with his ka. 338 His b-loin-cloth is on him; his Horus-weapon is on his arm; his sceptre is in his hands. 339 He makes himself serviceable to those who have passed on. 339 They bring to him those four spirits, the eldest, the first of the wearers of side-locks, 339 who stand on the eastern side of the sky and lean upon their d`m-sceptres, 340 that they may speak the good name of N. to R` 340 and proclaim N. to Nb-k.w, 340 so that the entrance of N. may be greeted (or protected). The Marshes of Reeds were filled (with water), 340 so that N. might ferry over the Winding Watercourse. 341 N. will certainly ferry over to the eastern side of the horizon; 341 N. will certainly ferry over to the eastern side of heaven. 341 His sister is Sothis; his mother is the Dw.t (morning star).

(7) Again, there is the veil of the entrance into the holy of holies. Four pillars there are, the sign of the sacred tetrad of the ancient covenants.

(513) 1168 To say: When father N. ascends to heaven among the gods who are in heaven; 1168 and when he stands by the great w`r.t; 1168 he hears the words of the blessed dead 1169 R` finds thee on the shores (or, lands) of the sky, in the ntiocean, in Nut. 1169 "He comes, who should come," say the gods. 1170 He gives thee his arm on (at) the 'iskn of the sky. 1170 "He comes who knows his place," say the gods. 1171 Pure one, assume thy throne in the boat of R`, 1171 that thou mayest sail the sky, that thou mayest mount above the ways (or, the far-off ways); 1171 that thou mayest sail with the imperishable stars; 1171 and that thou mayest voyage with the indefatigable (stars). 1172 Thou receivest the tribute of the evening boat; 1172 thou becomest a spirit in the D.t; 1172 thou livest in this sweet life in which the lord of the horizon lives. 1173 "Great Flood dwelling in Nut, who indeed has done this for thee?", 1173 say the gods who follow Atum. 1174 A greater than he hath done that for him, he who is north of the nti-ocean of Nut. 1174 He has heard his appeal; 'he has done for him what he said. 1174 He has received his, body in the court of the prince of Nun, 1174 before the Great Ennead.

(22) [paragraph continues] My House be established. "In the splendor of mental and spiritual illumination, the High Priest stood between the pillars as a mute witness to the perfect virtue of equilibrium--that hypothetical point equidistant from all extremes. He thus personified the divine nature of man in the midst of his compound constitution--the mysterious Pythagorean Monad in the presence of the Duad. On one side towered the stupendous column of the intellect; on the other, the brazen pillar of the flesh. Midway between these two stands the glorified wise man, but he cannot reach this high estate without first suffering upon the cross made by joining these pillars together. The early Jews occasionally represented the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz, as the legs of Jehovah, thereby signifying to the modern philosopher that Wisdom and Love, in their most exalted sense, support the whole order of creation--both mundane and supermundane.

(265) 351 To say: The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for R` that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to Harachte. 351 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Harachte that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon to R`. 351 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N. himself 351 that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to R`, to Harachte. 352 The mn`-canal is open; the Winding Watercourse is inundated; 352 the Marshes of Reeds are filled (with water). 353 N. will certainly ferry over to the eastern side of heaven, 353 to the place where the gods will be born, 353 where N. will certainly be born with them, like Horus, like him of the horizon. 354 N. is justified. 354 Praise be to N.; praise be to the ka of N.! 355 Let them be called to N.; 355 let them be brought to N., those four traffic-guards, the wearers of side-locks, 355 who stand on their d`m-sceptres, on the eastern side of the sky, 356 that they may speak the name of N., the good, to R`, 356 (and) that they may proclaim the name of N., the good, to Nbk.w. 356 N. is justified. 356 Praise be to N.; praise be to the ka of N.! 357 The sister of N. is Sothis; the mother of N. is the morning star. 357 N. is that (star) which is with R` on the under (side) of the body of the sky. 357 N. is justified. 357 Praise be to N.; praise be to the ka of N.!

(674) 1994 To say: I have come to thee, I am thy son; I have come to thee, I am Horus; 1994 I give to thee thy mdw-staff before the spirits and thy nb.tsceptre before the imperishable stars. 1995 [I have found thee assembled], [thy (lit. his) face] like (that of) a jackal, thy (lit. his) seat like (that of) b.wt; 1995 she refreshes thy heart in thy body, in the house of her (lit. thy) father Anubis. 1996 Be pure and sit at the head of those greater than thou. 1996 Thou art seated on thy firm throne, on the throne of the First of the Westerners; 1996 thy tis.w, they are young. 1997. mnt.t salutes thee, like Isis; Hn.t acclaims thee like Nephthys. 1998 Thou standest at the head of the n.wt, of the double palace, like Min; 1998 thou standest at the head of Egyptians (km.tiw), like api; 1998 thou standest at Pdw-s, like Seker. 1999 Thou standest before the Rd-wr-lake. 1999 Thou hast thy 'b-sceptre, thy wire, thy fingernails; which are at hand (lit. "at thy fingers"); 1999 those who are before Thot are slain with the knife, coming from Set. 1999 Thou givest thine arm to the dead, to the spirits, who will take thine arm to the First of the Westerners.

(532) 1255 To say: O Mooring-post of the morning-boat of its lord; 1255 O Mooring-post of the morning-boat of him who is in it, 1255 Isis comes, Nephthys comes, one of them on the right, one of them on the left, 1255 one of them as a .t-bird, one of them (Nephthys) as a kite. 1256 They found Osiris, 1256 after his brother Set had felled him to the earth in Ndi.t, 1256 when Osiris (N.) said, "come to me," hence comes his name as "Seker." 1257 They prevent thee from rotting, in accordance with this thy name of "Anubis"; 1257 they prevent thy putrefaction from flowing to the ground, 1257 in accordance with this thy name of "jackal of the South"; 1257 they prevent the smell of thy corpse from being bad, in accordance with this thy name of "r-h.ti." 1258 They prevent Horus of the East from rotting; they prevent Horus, lord of men, from rotting; 125 8 they prevent Horus of the D.t from rotting; they prevent Horus, lord of the Two Lands from rotting. 1258 And Set will not ever free himself from carrying thee, Osiris N. 1259 Wake up for Horus; stand up against Set; 1259 raise thyself up, Osiris N., son of Geb, his first (-born), 1259 before whom the Two Enneads tremble. 1260 The keeper (min.w) stands up before thee, so that (the feast) of the New Moon may be celebrated for thee; thou appearest for (the feast of) the month; 1260 thou advancest to the sea (of N.); thou traversest to the Great Green; 1261 for thou art "he who stands without being tired" in Abydos; 1261 thou art spiritualized on the horizon; thou endurest in Dd.t (Mendes); 1261 thine arm is taken by the Souls of Heliopolis; thine arm is seized by R`. 1262 Thy head, N., is raised up by the Two Enneads; 1262 they have put thee, Osiris N., as chief of the double 'itr.t-palace of the Souls of Heliopolis. 1262 Thou livest, thou livest, raise thyself up.

(3) "How is this?" was the answer; "should one wish To mount by night would he prevented be By others? or mayhap would not have power?" And on the ground the good Sordello drew His finger, saying, "See, this line alone Thou couldst not pass after the sun is gone; Not that aught else would hindrance give, however, To going up, save the nocturnal darkness; This with the want of power the will perplexes. We might indeed therewith return below, And, wandering, walk the hill-side round about, While the horizon holds the day imprisoned." Thereon my Lord, as if in wonder, said: "Do thou conduct us thither, where thou sayest That we can take delight in tarrying." Little had we withdrawn us from that place, When I perceived the mount was hollowed out In fashion as the valleys here are hollowed. "Thitherward," said that shade, "will we repair, Where of itself the hill-side makes a lap, And there for the new day will we await." 'Twixt hill and plain there was a winding path Which led us to the margin of that dell, Where dies the border more than half away.

(697) 2169 To say: O N., the mouth of the earth opens for thee; Geb speaks to thee: 2169 "Thou art great like a king; thou art mighty like R`. 2170 Thou purifiest thyself in the lake of the jackal; thou cleansest thyself in the lake of the Dt." 2170 "Come in peace," say the Two Enneads to thee. 2170 The eastern door of heaven is open for thee by 'Imn-km. 2171a . Nut has given her arms to thee, N., she of the long hair, she of the hanging breasts; 2171 she lifts thee high to herself to heaven; she did not cast N. down to the earth. 2172 She gives thee birth, N., like S'h; 2172 she makes thee remain as chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces." 21 72 N. descends into the boat like R`, on the shores, of the Winding Watercourse. 2173 N. is transported by the indefatigables; 2173 N. commands the imperishable stars; 2173 N. is transported on the nti-ocean; 2173 N. takes the helm to the fields of . 2174 Thy messengers go; thy runners hasten. 2174 They say to R`: "Behold, N. is come; behold, N. is come in peace." 2175 Do not go by these water-courses of the west; 2175 those who go there, they do not come back. 2175 Go thou, N., by these water-courses of the east, 2175 among the Followers of [R`] 2175 ------ him who lifts up the arm in the east. 2175 -----------------------------------

(611) 1724 To say: Thou who livest art living, father, in this thy name of "With the gods"; 1724 thou shalt dawn as Wepwawet, a soul at the head of the living, 1724 that mighty one at the head of the spirits. 1725 The king N. is a d-wr, who is at your head, spirits; 1725 the king N. is the great mighty-one, who is at your head, spirits; 1725 the king N. is a Thot among you, gods. 1726 The bolt is drawn for thee, 1726 (the bolt) to the two ram-portals, which hold people back. 1726 Thou countest enemies; thou takest the hand of the imperishable stars. 1727 Thine eyes are open; thine ears are open; 1727 enter into the house of the guardian; let thy father Geb guard thee. 1728 The water-holes are united for thee; the lakes are brought together for thee, 1728 for Horus who will avenge his father, for king N. who will avenge his body. 1729 A vulture greater than thou (does) triple homage to thee. 1729 It is agreeable to thy nose on account of the smell of the 'i.twt.t-crown.

(29) In the upper left-hand corner is shown the destruction of Babylon, also the angel which cast the great millstone into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all." Below is the horseman, called Faithful and True, casting the beast into the bottomless pit. At the lower right is the angel with the key to the bottomless pit, who with a great chain binds Satan for a thousand years. In the heavens above is represented one like unto the Son of Man, who carries a great sickle with which he reaps the harvest of the world. In the center is the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, with its twelve gates and the mountain of the Lamb rising in the midst thereof. From the throne of the Lamb pours the great river of crystal, or living water, signifying the spiritual doctrine: upon all who discover and drink of its waters are conferred immortality. Kneeling upon a high cliff, St. John gazes down upon the mystic city, the archetype of the perfect civilization yet to be. Above the New Jerusalem, in a great sunburst of glory, is the throne of the Ancient One, which is the light of those who dwell in the matchless empire of the spirit. Beyond the recognition of the uninitiated world is an ever-increasing aggregation composed of the spiritual elect. Though they walk the earth as ordinary mortals, they are of a world apart and through their ceaseless efforts the kingdom of God is being slowly but surely established upon earth. These illumined souls are the builders of the New Jerusalem, and their bodies are the living stones in its walls. Lighted by the torch of truth they carry on their work, through their activities the golden age will return to the earth and the power of sin and death will be destroyed. For this reason the declare that virtuous and illumined men, instead of ascending to heaven, will bring heaven down and establish it in the midst of earth itself.

(266) 358 To say: The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for R`, 358 that R` may ferry over with them to the horizon, to Harachte. 358 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N., 358 that he may ferry over with them to the horizon, to Harachte. 358 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Harachte, 358 that Harachte may ferry over with them to the Horizon, to R`. 358 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N., 358 that N. may ferry over with them to the horizon, to R`. 359 The mn`-canal is open; the Marsh of Reeds is filled with water; 359 the Winding Watercourse is inundated. 360 N. will certainly ferry over to the horizon, to Harachte. 360 Let there be brought to N. these four friendly ones, 360 the traffic-guards, the wearers of side-locks, 360 who sit on their d'm-sceptres on the eastern side of heaven. 361 Ye shall say it (namely) the good name of N. to Nb-k.w. 361 Praise be to N.; praise be to his ka! 361 N. is justified; the ka of N. is justified by the god. 362 R` has [taken] N. to himself to heaven, on the eastern side of heaven; 362 he is like Horus, of the D.t; he is like that star which radiates heaven. 363 The sister of N. is Sothis; [the mother of N. is the morning star]; 363 [N. sits between] them. 363 Heaven will never be void of N.; never shall the earth be void of N. 363 By command ----------------------------- 363 ------------------------, bring this (boat) to N. 363 he will be your third in Heliopolis (or, as a Heliopolitan).

(71) The column on the right, which is called Jachin, has its foundation on Chochmah, the outpouring Wisdom of God; the three globes suspended from it are all masculine potencies. The column at the left is called Boaz. The three globes upon it are feminine and receptive potencies, for it is founded in Understanding, a receptive and maternal potency. Wisdom, it will be noted, is considered as radiant or outpouring, and Understanding as receptive, or something which is filled by the flowing of Wisdom. The three pillars are ultimately united in Malchuth, in which all the powers of the superior worlds are manifested.

(515) 1176 To say: Two legs of Horus, two wings of Thot, 1176 ferry N. over; leave him not without a boat! 1177 Give thou bread to N.; give thou beer to N., 1177 from thy eternal bread, this thy everlasting beer. 1178 N. is by these two obelisks of R`, which are on earth; 1178 N. is by these two holy signs of R`, which are in heaven; 1179 N. goes on these two reed-floats of the sky which are before R`; 1179 he brings this jar of the libation of R`, 1179 which purifies the land of the south before R`, when he ascends in his horizon. 1180 (When) N. comes to the field of life, to the birthplace of R` in b.w, 1180 N. finds b.wt, daughter of Anubis; 1180 she approaches him with these her four nm.t-jars, 1180 with which she refreshes the heart of the Great God, on the day of awakening. 1181 She (also) refreshes the heart of N. therewith to life, 1181 she purifies N., she censes N. 1182 N. receives his provision from that which is in the granary of the Great God; 1182 N. is clothed with imperishable stars; 1182 N. presides over the two 'itr.t-palaces, 1182 he sits at the place of him equipped with the form (of a man).

(25) TABLE VII., Figure 6. In Figure 6 the letter a marks the center of eternity. The motion of the rays toward b, d, and c was the first divine manifestation and is symbolized by the equilateral triangle, b, d, c. The eternal world within the inner circle became manifest in the water (salt), the light (mercury), and the fire (sulphur) of the archetypal world, represented by the three circles (f, e, g) within the triangle of complete equality (h, i, k), which is in turn surrounded by the circle of the high throne. The circle f is named understanding; e, wisdom; g, reason. In circle i is the word Father; in circle h, Son; in circle k, Spirit. The seven outer circles are the seven spirits before the throne. The lower part of the figure is similar to Figures 53 and 54. The outer circles are the angelic world ending in the cognizable world of the Sons of God. Then comes the circle of the visible constellations and fixed stars; within this is the solar system with the sun as the center (l). Ungrund means the Abyss.
