Horus was the son of Osiris, a god of nature whose power was manifest in the ebb and flood of the Nile. Osiris himself had once ruled Egypt, aided by his wife and sister, Isis, before he was brought down by his murderously jealous brother Seth, who dismembered Osiris and scattered his parts over the land. The faithful Isis went about collecting the pieces and patched them back together, thus resurrecting Osiris, who retired from his earthly responsibilities to become lord of the afterworld. Horus was left to contend with his uncle, Seth, for dominion over Egypt. . . . the earth god, Geb, declared Horus the victor and pronounced him King of Egypt.”Which of these words best describes the mythology of ancient Egypt as told in this passage?

You *can* add-on & finish your Question, do you know? (i notice this is the very *first* Question you've posted.)



Since the question is "Osiris?" and "Which... best describes the mythology of ancient Egypt as told in this passage?" i'll opt for this selection from "Awakening Osiris" by Normandi Ellis as the best description i can come up with, with so little to work with! . It's a book well worth seeking out!

Becoming The Lotus



From: Awakening Osiris: The Egyptian Book of the Dead,

translated by Normandi Ellis





As if I'd slept a thousand years underwater I wake into a new season. I am the blue lotus rising. I am the cup of dreams and memory opening -- I, the thousand-petaled flower. At dawn the sun rises naked and new as a babe; I open myself and am entered by light. This is the joy, the slow awakening into fire as one by one the petals open, as the fingers that held tight the secret unfurl. I let go of the past and release the fragrance of flowers.



I open and light descends, fills me and passes through, each thin blue petal reflected perfectly in clear water. I am that lotus filled with light reflected in the world. I float content within myself, one flower with a thousand petals, one life lived a thousand years without haste, one universe sparking a thousand stars, one god alive in a thousand people.



If you stood on a summer's morning on the bank under a brilliant sky, you would see the thousand petals and say that together they make the lotus. But if you lived in its heart, invisible from without, you might see how the ecstasy at its fragrant core gives rise to its thousand petals. What is beautiful is always that which is itself in essence, a certainty of being. I marvel at myself and the things of earth.



I float among the days in peace, content. Not part of the world, the world is all the parts of me. I open toward light and lift myself to the gods on the perfume of prayer. I ask for nothing beyond myself. I own everything I need. I am content in the company of god, a prayer that contains its own answer. I am the lotus. As if from a dream, I wake up laughing.

And since Isis *is* mentioned... perhaps a *poem* for Isis? ;)

Isis Is





Isis is still is-ing as the IS of BEing.

Isis is still singing

the heartstrings of those who love Her.

There has been no ending to the IS of Isis.



Isis... to call Your Name is to Name

the mystique of the Reality that Is... Is...



The grandeur of the Mysteries of Isis...

Her holy Guidance...

the sheer immensity of the Sky of Her Temple,

silencing us before Her wonder of wonders,

with insight into the mystic qualities of Eternity.



Is... Is... the *BEing* of coupling Spirits,

curving *into* each other...

living souls of beauty unspeakable,

eternally loving in the Palace of Cosmic Immensity.



Time's streaming... underground

thru minds as mysterious as eternity,

circulating, gurgling, ever-flowing,

sometimes thoughtful, sometimes poetical,

sometimes vivacious & open-hearted.



Who guides to witness the within-the-within

beyond desire & will?



Will You...?



Ah! Isis!

You weave into the rainbow-tissue

of our wonderment in You

as we drink in the delight

of Your heavenly smiles.



The beauty of Your love divine

intoxicates our souls... like wine...



Who has the power Divine of True Essence, Herself?

to reveal the real harvest from the Mystery,

rich in yield of ripeness, seeded to growingly multiply

life-passionate to generate new birthings,

engendering the power of Your Spirit indwelling

in the revellers in the revelation

that lingers & floats like ethereal music

sweet in melody & liquid in flow

from the sweet teated richness of the Mother of Truth,

as here as there as every*here o wonder in

your blazeheart whispering of love's

petal-splendored vision into the shrine

of all these glow*eyes whispering *yes!*

to the liquid*soft raptures of *You,*

Isis -- is*ing in to the singing heart...

Does the Bible communicate of the father, Son, and Holy Ghost? confident. Do those titles as used in Matthew 28:19 propose that there are 3 separate and distinctive persons interior the Godhead? No, they communicate with 3 places of work, roles, or relationship to humanity. Does the Bible use the be conscious 3 in connection with God? in basic terms one verse interior the entire Bible does so: I John 5:7. It speaks of the father, the be conscious (as a exchange of Son), and the Holy Ghost, and it concludes by making use of announcing, "those 3 are one." Does the Bible use the be conscious one in connection with God? confident, many situations. working example, see Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 2:10; Matthew 23:9; Mark 12:29, 32; John 8:40-one; 10:30; Romans 3:30; I Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5; James 2:19. Does the Bible say that all and sundry the Godhead is printed in one man or woman? confident, in Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians a million:19; 2:9; Hebrews a million:3.
