SHAMANIC WISDOM IN THE PYRAMID TEXTS

THE MYSTICAL TRADITION OF ANCIENT EGYPT

Jeremy Naydler 2005

Page 201

"The Sarcophagus Chamber Texts

South Wall (Utts. 213-19)
(1) UTTERANCE 213: DEPARTING ALIVE

At the western end of the south wall, nearest to the sarcophagus, the priest addresses Unas with these words:

O Unas, you have not departed dead,
you have departed alive
to sit upon the throne of Osiris,
your 'aba scepter in your hand
that you may give orders to the living,
your lotus-bud scepter in your hand
that you may give orders to those whose seats are hidden36

Page 202

As we have seen in chapter 3, this statement is usually interpreted as a pious denial of the reality of the king's death. However, not only is the king said to be sitting on the throne of Osiris, but he is also said to be grasping a scepter in either hand. The utterance clearly implies a kingship ritual, quite possibly a coronation ceremony, celebrated by the living king.
This ceremony involving the throne of Osiris and the grasping of scepters is said to enable the king to give orders on the one hand to "the living" and on the other hand to "those whose seats are hidden" -that is, the dead. The contrast between the living and the dead is so clearly stated that it would seem perverse to interpret the word living as meaning any­thing other than what the sentence suggests: namely, the living as opposed to the invisible dead, "who~e seats are hidden."37 Since the ability to give orders implies that the king is in some sense "present" in the domain in which his orders are given, we may assume that there is an inner, or mysti­cal, event that lies behind the king's taking up the throne of Osiris and the extension of his authority into the realm of the dead. This mystical event must surely be what is referred to in the sentence that appears at the begin­ning of the utterance:

O Unas, you have not departed dead, you have departed alive.

If this were any normal departure, there would be no reason to state so explicidy that the king was departing alive and not dead. It would seem that the destination of the king is the realm of .the dead, but he is journeying into it alive.
Journeys into the realm of the dead by the living form part of a long and universal tradition, attested to in a great many cultures all over the world. \Vhat is implied in such journeys is that the soul is capable of separating itself from the physical body and "traveling" independently of it. The experience of becoming aware of oneself in a consciousness independent of the physical body-what we would today call an out-of-body experience-is the first step in the process of cosmic ascent referred to in Platonic, Neoplatonic, and Hermetic mystical writings.38 It is also well attested in shamanism. Eliade has pointed out that one of the characteristics of shamans is that they "are able, here on earth and as often as they wish, to accomplish 'coming out of the body,' that is, the death that alone has power to transform the rest of mankind into 'birds'; shamans and sorcerers can enjoy the condition of 'souls,' of 'discarnate beings,' which is accessible to the profane only when they die."39 Eliade's reference to the soul's birdlike / Page 203 / This utterance concerning the "departure" of Unas therefore has both ritual and mystical elements. The ritual elements can be seen first in the reference to an enthronement ceremony in which the king's authority over the realm of Osiris is confirmed, second in the protection ritual, and third in the ritual circumambulation that the king enacted in order to secure his power over the realms of Horus and Seth. The main experiential counter­point to these rituals must have involved the projection of the king's con­sciousness into the realm of the dead. In shamanic terms, his soul journeys beyond the confines of the physical world.

(2) UTTERANCE 214: BECOMING A FALCON

In utterance 214, Unas's traveling soul is instructed to beware of a lake. It is perhaps a lake of fire in which the king must cleanse himself, for Unas is now instructed to purify himself:

Purify yourself!
for your bones are those of the divine falcons who are in the sky.43

The transformation of the king's bones into those of falcons is a significant stage in the experiences that he is undergoing. The falcon is the form that the sun god Ra takes, and for the king to become transformed into a falcon is a magical act that ensures his inner identity with the solar principle. The falcon in this respect has the same role in ancient Egypt as the eagle in many shamanic traditions, in which the Supreme Being as solar spirit becomes manifest as a sun bird, which usually has the form of an eagle. The eagle is thus the most potent form for the shaman to assume, and it is as a soaring eagle that he rises up to the spirit world.44 The fact that both Ra / Page 204 / and Horus, with whom the king is identified, are conceived as falcons is an indication of this shamanic substratum of Egyptian religion. In the passage we are considering, it is not, of course, literally the king's physical bones that are transformed, but rather that the transformation he undergoes is so far-reaching that he acquires the same "celestial" body as the sun god Ra Thereafter, it is in the form of a falcon that Unas continues his spirit­journey to the stars (fig. 7.14 omitted).
The destination of Unas is indicated toward the end of the utterance, where it is stated that the "sun folk" call out to him and the "imperishable stars" raise him tip.46 Here we see that his destination is essentially a realm of light, conceived as linked both to the sun and to the "imperishable" northern stars that are visible all the year round. These two destinations­solar and stellar-are thus not alternatives to each other but rather equally, valid celestial images of the king's spiritualization.

Figure 7.14.(Omitted) The human soul takes the form of a human-headed falcon when journeying into the spirit world either in dream, death, or shamanic flight as described in utterance 214. Tomb of Arinefer, Thebes. New Kingdom.

(3) UTTERANCE 215: HEALING HORUS AND SETH, EMBRACED BY ATUM

"The third stage of this journey is described in utterance 215, in which the king heals the eye of Horus injured by Seth and restores to Seth his testicles, whicn Horus has torn out. Unas is able to achieve this healing of the two antagonists because he is embraced by the supreme god Atum, whose very being transcends all opposites.47 By healing the injuries these two antagonists / Page 205 / have inflicted on each other, the king is able to unite fully with the royal ka energy.48 It is as if the conflict of Horus and Seth has the effect of locking up and making unavailable this vital energy of the ka, holding back all further progress until a reconciliation is accomplished (fig. 7.15 omitted). The conflict of these gods can be understood as being waged on the divine, the psychic, and the physical levels: On the divine level it is a clash of the cosmic forces of generation and destruction; on the psychic level it is an objective psychic reality that lives within the human soul; and on the physical level it manifests in the antagonism within the landscape between fertile land and desert.
In the human being, Horus represents the aspiration toward spiritual insight founded on the integration of the energies of the soul, whereas Seth represents the drive of the primitive and elemental forces that-once unleashed-lead to psychic disintegration and spiritual blindness. The res­ olution of the conflict between these opposing principles in the king has significance both for the divine world and for the whole land of Egypt and its people, because the king's status was such that the effects of his actions ramified througl1 the divine, the human, and the natural realms. Insofar as the ka energy of the king is released, the land itself is reinvigorated, and this, of course, was one of the objectives of the Sed festiva1.49

Figure 7.15. The reconciliation of Horus and Seth, as depicted in the
New Kingdom mystical text the Book of Gates, tenth division.

Along with the reconciliation of Horus and Seth, the other salient theme of the utterance is the embrace of the king by Atum and his being protected by Atum in his solar form as Ra-Atum. The latter ensures that Unas will not suffer from the adverse power of any of the gods, most signif­icantly Osiris, who "shall not claim your heart, nor have power over your heart."5o While it might be odd for a dead king to have to be protected from Osiris, with whom he is supposed to be conjoined at death, this passage reminds us that if the king is / Page 206 / living, then it is essential that he not fall wholly under the power of Osiris. The aim is rather to come into direct relationship with the transcendent godhead Atum in his solar aspect, thereby rising beyond the danger of falling into too close an identification with either Horus on the one side, Seth on the other, or Osiris in between.

(4) UTTERANCE 216: IN THE NIGHT BARK OF THE SUN

The next utterance (utt. 216), in the middle of the south wall, marks the end of the first phase of the king's journey. Unas declares:

I have come to you O Nephthys; I have come to you O Night Bark.51

Figure 7.16.(Omitted) A scene from the Sed festival of Amenhotep III, showing him traveling as Ra on the solar night bark with his queen. Tomb of Kheruef New Kingdom.

We know from reliefs in the New Kingdom tomb of Kheruef that king Amenhotep III undertook a ritual journey in the night bark of the sun god Ra as part of his Sed festival rites. This probably took place on a lake con­struct~d near his palace at Malqata, and was meant ritually to reinforce the reality of his solar rebirth and his identification with Ra. The text that accompanies the depiction of this event states that these rites were a revival of ceremonies that were very ancient and were enacted "in accordance with writings of old."52 Since the Pyramid Texts were composed over a thousand years earlier, it is quite possible that these were the "writings of old" that the ceremonies of Amenhotep IIIl's Sed festival were based on. In figure 7.16, we / Page 207 /see Amenhotep portrayed as Ra himself, with his queen beside him, travel­ing on the night bark. While this was enacted as a ritual, the Pyramid Texts seem to be describing something much closer to the actual inner experience that lay behind, and determined, the outer form of the ritual. 53

Figure 7.17.(Omitted) Orion, Sothis, and the southern constellations. Sothis (Sirius), the celestial form of Isis, is on the left; Orion (with whom Osiris was identified) is next to her with the three stars of Orions belt above him; the stars of the southern constellations are to his right and in the midst of them, apparently, the solar boat, its occupants depicted above it. From the ceiling of the tomb of Senenmut at Deir el-Bahri, circa 1473 E.C.

In the Unas text, it would seem that the king's identification with Ra at this juncture is to empower him as he descends into the dark netherworld (the Dwat). He prays that he may be remembered by Nephthys, whom he addresses as "She who remembers the kas," for he is himself about to be enveloped by the Underworld. Unas's entry into the Dwat is in the south­western sky, where he follows the decanal constellations of Orion and Sirius as they are swallowed up or "encircled" by the Dwat. The southern constellations were thought to be governed by Osiris because they disap­pear for seventy days, going through a symbolic death followed by a rebirth when they reappear again. The leader of the southern constellations was regarded as Orion, with which Osiris was identified (fig. 7.17). Just as the / Page 208 / southern constellations enter the Dwat when they disappear from view, so Unas will be "encircled" by the Dwat. But this experience of being encom­passed by the Dwat involves at the same time a process of purification in a mysterious region called the Akhet.

Orion is encircled by the Dwat, When, living, he purifies himself in the Akhet. Sothis [Sirius] is encircled by the Dwat, When, living, she purifies herself in the Akhet. Unas is encircled by the Dwat, When, living, he purifies himself in the Akhet.54"

HORUS IS ON ON IS HORUS

HORUS ZION ZION HORUS

 

"Now, Akhet is usually translated as "horizon," but it should be understood as the place in which the king undergoes transformation into an akh, or "shining spirit."55 And this is the crucial expe(ience that is undergone here. It is the inward realization that one's essential nature is beyond the oppos­ing principles of Horus and Seth and stems from a higher transcendent source. Thus at the end of utterance 216, the king commits himself "to the arms of my father, to the arms of Atum."56
The experience of spiritual transformation in the Akhet is usually interpreted as belonging to ancient Egyptian beliefs about what occurs after death, but we know from New Kingdom sources that the Akhet was also regarded as a place where the living king was initiated. In his coronation inscription at Karnak, Thutmose In describes transforming himself into a falcon and then being taken up into the Akhet, where he communes with the sun god Ra, becoming infused with Ra's "akh power."57 This event was connected with the validation of the king's status as "son of Ra" (a tide that he bore from the Fourth Dynasty onward) and the accompanying role of the king as "priest of the sun."58 It is not hard to see the close parallel between what is described in the Thutmose inscription and the experiences detailed in the pyramid of Unas. In the case of Thutmose, however, there is no question as to the fact that the king is alive, for it is a coronation text. If such experiences as are described in the Pyramid Texts are also found in a coronation text and attributed to a living king, it follows that the Pyramid Texts are not necessarily simply funerary, and that what Unas is said to have undergone he may have undergone while still alive."
