From the Paper
"The Underworld is also the entrance to the Blessed Land which is the reward for all those who pass the test of the Underworld and are deemed worthy. As the judge of the dead, Osiris ensures that the souls of those who are evil and wicked do not ascend to this land or realm of existence. Furthermore, Osiris is therefore seen as the upholder of holy law and of honesty and truth. In Egyptian spiritual terms Osiris is associated with the important Egyptian concept of Ma'at or Maat. This term refers to the idea of divine order and balance as it affects the ordinary or mundane world. Osiris is also referred to as 'lord of Maat" ,(Hart 162)"
