I asset my claim of umcompromising empowerment |
|
I am like as unto |
|
Atum lord of allwhose spontaneous self generation |
|
Led to the appearance of the earliest godsand thus the material universethere is none higher |
|
I appear in glory as that godwho eats men and lives on the godsas sun god |
|
I am reborn |
|
From the womb od the sky goddess nut |
|
Her aching body is the sky |
|
Her nakedness the skin on which the stars rest |
|
I am AtumKhepri who came into being of himself |
|
I am he who opened a door in the sky |
|
Who rules from his throne and adjudgeth those who are born |
|
I am the horned bull who rules the sky |
|
Lord of celestial appearings |
|
The great illuminator who came forth from fireto hardness the years |
|
I am the jackal of jackals |
|
I am Shu who breathes air into the limits of sky and earth |
|
I draw unto myself all the forces on the universe |
|
I become not merely a god but the universe itself |
|
I am alone in making the transformation from man into god |
|
I am released from this world of servile obligationto false temporal power who claim to be divine |
