I love the Egyptian book of the dead and when I was reading it many years ago I came upon this plate which I find to be very interesting,it didn't quite catch me then as it did years later but it got me thinking.
This is taken from chapter LXXXV,the chapter of changing into the soul of Tmu,appendix,its not the whole text,just a sample and it goes like this:
I am the eldest and the first born son of matter,my soul is the gods,who are the eternal souls. I am the creator of darkness who maketh his dwelling place in the limits of the region of heaven.
I come,and my soul advanced over the way of the Ancient ones. I cause darkness in the limits of the sky,and at my will I come unto the boundaries thereof.
I walk upon my feet,I am strong to pass over the sky,and I fetter with the bonds the darkness and the worm that hideth therein.
I make my steps to advance unto the lord of the two hands,my soul and the soul of my body are the uræi,and I live forever,the lord of years and the prince of eternity.
"Over the way of the ancient ones"hmmm,those Egyptians were spiritual indeed and this book is among the oldest occult books in existence,did they worship the old ones?Well like I said this is interesting indeed.
I recommend this book,it is very good and I can spend hours studying it.

Are you speaking of the book by E.A Wallis Budge or another particular version?
