Gaze into the Valley and see Chaos, known as Seth. Jealous of the power of his brother Osiris, deaf to the twin voices of Thoth and Maat, Seth made a coffin and planned to trap Osiris within it. He called for a party at which he seduced Osiris with sweet words, calling for him to recline in the coffin at which moment he instantly sealed the lid upon Osiris and threw him into sea!
My heart sinks, a stone plummeting watery depths…..I feel despair…the loss of Thoth and Maat…..the loss of their mediator, their king….the loss to Egypt! My heart! My heart!…. To this day suffering thrives due to such deceit, such entrapment. For many are seduced, as was Osiris, to think the physical coffin of the body is actually the wholeness of being. They see the sinking coffin, the rotting container of flesh as their destiny.....
Dark thoughts are suddenly chased by movement, by light....
Light….fluttering light fills my field….Ah….yes, Isis! Beloved Isis in the form of a kite….flying….searching…..seeking her beloved Osiris!
Anyone who loves one who is lost knows the great journey, sacrifices taken, to bring the beloved home. I watch as I see Isis and hear her lamentations….
Osiris! Osiris!...Beloved….How long before I behold thy face? Osiris….The sun holds no warmth without thee! The moon remains hidden behind night's black veil. Your people are lost, wanderers in the scorching desert! Osiris! Osiris…how long must we go on without thee?
I see her fluttering about a great tree in a foreign land, a cedar of Lebanon, the royal coffin encased within it….I hear her song...
Let me be guardian to those that hold my beloved…..I shall give them immortality, burn them in the fire of divine love, all this in return for my beloved…..
I watch….Great mistress of magic Isis places the child of man into the fires ....
No! The shriek of the mother in seeing her child in the fire…..
Sadly the eternal gift is refused again and again. Who would burn in the divine fires? Sadly few understand …..Oh Thoth! Maat! Where are you? Speak! I demand….Yet even as these words escape my mind I know…..I know it is not their absence but the lack of communication of the human…..the loss which spread from Seth like the winds that blow about the globe….the chaos of dis memberment wreaks havoc here….
Isis tenderly removes the child from the fire and returns him to his mother ….In return she lovingly receives Osiris…..Thus with joyous union they begin the journey home…..back to Egypt….
The journey is long, taken by night, that they be safe from chaos, from Seth. Isis tenderly welcomes Osiris into her embrace.
Beloved! Without you life was aimless wandering. I searched for you in the far corners of the universe. I was lost and did not know where to look. Yet never would I give up…..and now, now my heart is full once again. The sun has returned. Once again the moon guides our people. What was lost is now found. Joyous beloved of KMT! All is well with your return. Beloved, your spouse rejoices and your land shall give thanks in celebration!
