A long prayer of incantations follows, calling for the intercession of the
God Thot, ending thus:
-
"If one sings these incantations in a state of purity, one can
"come forth into the day" after
crossing the river of the dead, "and take any form
one wishes." But whoever (among the living) reads it for himself
will stay on earth, unharmed, escaping the flames, and no ill will befall
him.

wrote about the Transfiguration and Resurrection of Christ!
CHAPTER 21 - How to ask for one's voice from the
soul of Osiris N. :
-
He says: I salute you, "O, garment of
Light", which presides over the great castle of Heliopolis, amid
the dark shadows. I have come to you, oh Radiant One, to ask for my voice
that I may speak in the hour of danger.
CHAPTER 29 - Asking for the preservation of the
hearts of those who are just :
(Osiris N. ) in the empire of the Dead says :
-
My heart is mine, it will not leave me; I am Horus who inhabits the heart,
the seat of all being in the body.
-
I have not committed unpardonable sins against the gods;
I am just and my influence has
never WANED.
-
I am the rising Phoenix, the soul of Re
who leads the blessed towards the Douat, who enables Osiris to return to
earth to accomplish that which his Ka desires.
CHAPTER 42
-
I AM Re, whose favors are everlasting; I am the Creator who is in the sacred
Tamaris tree.
-
My face is that of Re
-
My eyes are those of Hathor…
-
My lips belong to Anubis,
-
My teeth are from Isis, the divine,
-
My neck is of Neith, the "Lady of Sais"…
-
My legs are of Ptah,
-
My nails are from living falcons.
-
Every part of me represents a god, and THOT gives his protection to me. I
am " "Re" each day, and no one can take me…………..
-
I come to life each day and my name is
unknown.
-
I am yesterday: the one who has seen millions of
years is my name...
-
I am the Supreme Being who from
age to age has everything necessary to go on.
-
I am the one who was in the sacred eye, nothing malevolent can befall me,
nothing impure or evil can manifest itself before me.
-
I am the one who opens the gates of heaven and sits upon the throne.
-
I give birth to each new day.
-
Everyman, it is I who protect you, you who are
millions...
-
My form is hidden, as I am unknowable...
-
I light up every wall in every house, and everyone profits from my generosity.
-
To all who pass, I say " I am the Lotus flower blooming in the Noun."

One the left: a picture of the temple of Kom Ombo
rebuilt by the Romans in the third century. In this picture, showing a devotee
offering gifts to the king and queen, we can already see the fading of the
hieroglyphic writing.
On the right: the steps of the Edfu temple (the
seat of Horus), where we see the souls seeming to come out of the walls to
fly up the staircase up into the sky...
CHAPTER 55 -
