537a. djed
medu teti pu djeser imi khenet tjezez hat
Said is the solitary
Word sah, so that such an Atlantean
will become that which is set apart, which is in the brow, which is aroused
two sevenths of a cubit (six inches) in front,
537b. seba
kesesu en ef netjeru sedau en ef pesedjeti
the Star,
because of which the gods bow down, because of which the Universe
trembles,
537c.
in
djeret teti utjez es su
for it is the control
of an Atlantean which will levitate him.
The expression imi khenet ‘which is in the brow’ is telling us exactly where this Star consciousness is seemingly set apart. khenet is not ‘superiority’ of ‘the forefront’ but is instead a simple reinforcement of the apparent visual location of an Atlantean's Star identity before the brow. Throughout the Pyramid Texts, khenet always refers to this frontal location which is six inches (or two sevenths of a cubit) before the brow, according to an earlier line 232b in Utterance 230.
The Star is an ‘ensouling Star’, because seba also means ‘that which ensouls’ This frontal Star is obviously not an astronomical star, because of its location within as well as its power to cause the Universe to tremble.
An
Atlantean's
control (of searching for, finding and staring at the Star)
is what will levitate him both physically and spiritually.
