İsis'ten Horus'a: Ruhun Bedene İnişi

And Horus asked: What did the souls do, mother, then? And Isis said: Taking the blend of matter, Horus, son, they first looked at the Father's mixture and adored it, and tried to find whence it was composed; but this was not an easy thing for them to know. They then began to fear lest they should fall beneath the Father's wrath for trying to find out, and so they set to work to do what they were bid. Thereon, out of the upper stuff they formed the race of birds; thereon they fashioned out the race of things which have four feet; next they did fashion forth the race of fish; and as the residue was of a cold and heavy nature, from it the Souls devised the race of creeping things. They then, my son, as though they had done something grand, with over-busy daring armed themselves, and acted contrary to the commands they had received; and forthwith they began to overstep their proper limits and their reservations, and would no longer stay in the same place, but were for ever moving, and thought that being ever stationed in one place was death. Thus was it that the Sovereign King of all resolved to fabricate with art the human frame, in order that in it the race of Souls throughout might be chastised.
