There are then these three — Atum, Cosmos, man. The Cosmos is contained by Atum. Man is contained by the Cosmos. The Cosmos is the son of Atum. Man is the son of the Cosmos, and the grandson, so to speak, of Atum. Atum does not ignore man, but acknowledges him fully, as he wishes to be fully acknowledged by man, for this alone is man's purpose and salvation — the ascent to heaven and the Knowledge of Atum.
