From Reading the Destruction of Manking (Jumoke)

• From page 182 from "The Egyptian Book of the Dead" by E.A. Wallis Budge
  
• "I am the lotus pure coming forth from the god of light, the guardian of the nostril of Ra, the guardian of the nose of Hathor. I make my journey, I run after him who is Heru. I am the pure one coming forth from the field"
• "guardian of the nostril"
• Spirit that protects the nostril, and provides the opportunity for Ra to come forth and for our daily breathes
• "nose of Hathor" (viewed as neter of love)
  
• Provides the female balance, both the fury of the lion as well as love
• "I make my journey"
• About seeing the neter, and having a purpose
  
• "I run after him who is Heru"
• Heru is about rebirth, in the eating of foods and loving one another, as we rebirth self
• Opportunity to connect with ourselves, but also other people - there is something that we offer each other; do we have the clarity to see the divinity in each other
• "I am the pure one"
• field reference was a bit confusing - did it represents work?
• The Lotus
• There are several types of lotus, red, white, blue; white lotus indigieous to Kemet and is the most sacred
• Lotus opens during the day (although some have different schedules - blue opens midday)
  
• The botany of the lotus is that its roots are in mud, and these beautiful leaves come forth; symbolic of beauty coming up from mud
