“Behold!

The Double Son of the Songstress, hail to you Great God, Lord of Truth and Justice who oversees the completion of the Sacred Eye in the City of the Sun.

My purity is that of the Great Benu-Bird and I have come to you without falsehood…

“Hail, Seeker on the Causeway.

Who are you and what is your name?”

“I am the Root of the Papyrus in this my name of Heart-Seed.”

“What have you passed by and what did you see there?”

“I passed the Pool-of-Truth and rested in the Field of Grass-Hoppers who were the calf and thigh.”

“What did those of the Field give you?”

“They gave me a Fire-Brand and a Neck-Ring of Faience.”

“And what did you do with the Fire-Brand and the Neck-Ring of Faience?”

“I buried the gifts on the Riverbank of Maat.”

“What did you find on the Riverbank of Maat?”

“I found a Staff of Flint called Giver-of-Breath.”

“What did you do with the Fire-Brand and the Neck-Ring of Faience after you had buried them?”

“I called out over the gifts.

I dug them up.

I quenched the Fire.

I broke the Neck-Ring and threw them in the River of Maat.”

“To One whose Roof is Fire, whose Walls are Living Uraei, and whose Floor is Water.”

“Proceed.

You are announced!”

“Your Bread is the Sacred Eye.

Your Wine is the Sacred Eye.

What goes forth at the voice for you upon Earth is the Sacred Eye.”
