But we [Egyptians] do not [so much] use words (λόγοι) but sounds (ϕωναι) which are full of effects” (Nock and Festugière 1954–1960; reprint 1972–1983, 232).

Lawrence 1986, 72. Lawrence emphasizes the experience of receptivity, of our being carried, borne by the wind to another world. Peter Kingsley has emphasized the critical role of “being taken” among ancient philosopher-magicians, seeking the soul’s transformation and deification. He writes: “We can never make our way to the truth. That would be out of the question. Like Parmenides, we have to be taken there instead; all we can do is wait. And it’s only when we finally are taken that we can begin to see just how impossible it would have been to work our way out of the illusion towards the truth” (Kingsley 2003, 257, emphasis mine).
