Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
There is every reason to believe that the Book of the Dead was written from personal experience during ‘shamanic flight’, thus I have described this as a vision
In spiritual experiences, the abyss may be accessed via a tunnel or a spiral or a coil a whirlpool or similar structure. In Ancient Egyptian the entrance or access way to the abyss was called the Coil Of Apep.

The Coil of Apep – a tunnel symbolically perceived as a serpent |
A description of the experience
The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead – translated by R O Faulkner
SPELL 7 – Spell for passing the dangerous Coil of Apep
O you waxen one who take by robbery and who live on the inert ones, I will not be inert for you, I will not be weak for you, your poison shall not enter into my members, for my members are the members of Atum. If I am not weak for you, suffering from you shall not enter into these members of mine. I am Atum at the head of the Abyss, my protection is from the gods, the lords of eternity, I am he whose name is secret, more holy of throne than the Chaos gods; I am among them, I have gone forth with Atum, I am one who is not examined, I am hale, I am hale!
