"I am Osiris Onnophris who is found perfect before the gods. I hath said: These are the elements of my Body perfected through suffering, glorified through trial. The scent of the dying Rose is as repressed sigh of my Suffering. And the flame-red Rose as in the repressed sign of my Suffering. And the flame-red Fire as the energy of mine undaunted Will. And the Cup of Wine is the pouring out of the blood of my heart, sacraficed unto Regeneration, unto the newer life. And the bread and salt are as the foundations of my body, which i destroy in order that they may be renewed.
For I am osiris Triumphant. Even Osiris Onnophris the Justified One. I am HE who is clothed with the body of the flesh yet in whom flames the spirit of the eternal Gods. I am the Lord of Life. I am triumphant over Death, and whosoever partaketh with me shall with me arise. I am the manifest in Matter of Those whose abode is the Invisible. I am the purified. I stand upon the Universe. I am its Reconciler with the eternal Gods. I am the Perfector of Matter, and without me the Universe is not." |
