“Ecco, io sono vivo, io respiro. Qual è la sostanza della mia vita? Ed in balia di quali forze? Sotto l’impero di quali leggi? Io non mi posseggo, io sfuggo a me stesso, il senso che io ho del mio essere è simile a quello che può avere un uomo il quale, condannato a restare su un piano di continuo ondeggiante e pericolante, senta di continuo a mancargli l’appoggio, dovunque egli posi il piede. Io sono perpetuamente ansioso e neanche la mia ansietà è ben definita. Io non so se sia l’ansietà del fuggiasco inseguito alla calcagna o di chi insegue senza mai raggiungere. Forse l’una e l’altra insieme.”

melbellelove: The Judgement of the Dead Pay good heed to the weighing in the Balance of the heart of the Osiris, the singing-woman of Amen, Anhai, whose word is truth, and place thou her heart in the seat of truth in the presence of the Great God
The Egyptians believed that after death the body was resurrected and travelled westward into the hall of Osiris in Duat. Once there the deceased had to recite the deeds of their life, good and bad. Their heart would be weighed against the feather of Maat, the cosmic balance, and if the heart was found to be heavy because they had lied about their deeds then they would suffer a second death by Ammit. “The Soul Eater”. The unfortunate individual would then became a malevolent spirit, which could bring sickness and death to humans.
hughdespenser: Ma’at goddess of law, truth and order.Egyptian
goddess of cosmic harmony, truth and justice. Ma'at was depicted as a woman
with an ostrich feather on her head, she was sometimes represented only
by the feather. Ma'at was closely associated with Ra from the beginning
and eventually became known as the ‘daughter of Ra.’ Thoth was sometimes
given as her consort. The Pharaohs were said to derive their authority
from Ma'at and claimed to uphold the cosmic order embodied in her. In the
funerary papyri of the New Kingdom it was Ma'at who sat in judgement at
the weighting of the heart ceremony in the Hall of the Two Truths. The
heart of the deceased was weighed against the image of Ma'at, often represented
simply by the ostrich feather. Her only known sanctuary was in Karnak.
