Seven Souls Material (Ft. William S. Burroughs)

The ancient Egyptians postulated seven souls
Top soul, and the first to leave at the moment of death, is Ren, the secret name
This corresponds to my director
He directs the film of your life from conception to death
The secret name is the title of your film
When you die, that's where Ren came in

Second soul, and second one off the sinking ship, is Sekem
Enеrgy, power, light
The director givеs the orders, Sekem presses the right buttons

Number three is Khu, the guardian angel
He, she, or it is third man out
Depicted as flying away across a full moon
A bird with luminous wings and head of light
Sort of thing you might see on a screen in an Indian restaurant in panama

The Khu is responsible for the subject and can be injured in his defense
But not permanently, since the first three souls are eternal
They go back to heaven for another vessel
The four remaining souls must take their chances with the subject in the land of the dead

Number four is Ba, the heart, often treacherous
This is a hawk's body with your face on it, shrunk down to the size of a fist
Many a hero has been brought down, like Samson, by a perfidious Ba
