The true purpose of Moorish Science is to experience the sacred and ultimate attainment of “Self Mastery.” This attainment of “Self Mastery” represents the alchemical transmutation of the physical self into the true self of Aught: Spirit Self. The noblest mystical experiences, as well as the quenching of the deepest desires of the adept, are realized through the techniques of Mystic Islam or, more precisely, Moorish Science.

Through a complete study of Moorish Science, one finds that all of the great spiritual systems of the world are interconnected as stated in the MHK Chapter 10:18-19

• “Man names the parts of ALLAH he sees, and this to him is all of ALLAH; and every nation sees a part of ALLAH, and every nation has a name for ALLAH. You Brahmans call him Parabrahm, in Egypt he is Thoth, and Zeus is his name in Greece, Jehovah is his Hebrew name, but everywhere he is the causeless cause , the rootless root from which all things have grown.”

As with all great systems of spiritual mastery, Mystic Islam and the true Islamic life of tawhid (doctrine of oneness) can be integrated as they are all one system stemming from “One” great source. In fact proof of this can be seen in the spiritual systems of Islam and Yoga. If studied closely and with an open mind, one will see that there is “no” conflict between Islam and Yoga as they are mutually beneficial and synergystic in nature. In both sciences, it is agreed that, while the body is important as a garment of flesh on the path to spiritual realization and salvation, the Asiatic’s primary identity is not with the body, but with the eternal Spirit as “Time never was when Man was not.”

Just as Moorish Scientists know that the most ancient form of Yoga is of pre-Hindu origin, it is also known that Yoga is not a religion, but a set of scientific techniques and skills that enhance and coincides with the practice of Islam.

It is also to be noted that the ancient mystic arts of Advaita Vedanta and the doctrine of oneness, tawhid of Islam, are of perfect compatibility as they both express the highest levels of Islam and Yoga. As most sufi scientists agree that everything in manifestation has its origin in the Supernal, then it is well understood that the manifestations of the material plane are derived from the ideational realm of archetypes (known as al-a’yân al-thâbitah in the esoteric sufism of Ibn al-’Arabî). This realm/world, limited as it is, is just an expression of the ultimate Reality, and will ultimately be reabsorbed in its supernal Origin (MHK Chapter 7). Advaita Vedanta and Islamic science also agree that ALLAH is the only absolutely real, eternal Reality (Truth is Aught and Aught is ALLAH); as all else is contingent and therefore transitory/illusion. The Unitarian views of reality in Advaita Vedanta vibrates in accordance with the tawhîd (doctrine of oneness) of Islam, and the Oneness of Being in the Sufi doctrine of Ibn al-’Arabî.

To conclude this work, we shall compare, with symbolism, the Prophet Muhammad’s nighttime ascent to Heaven, al-Mi’râj, with the corresponding symbolism in the yoga spiritual system. The Prophet ascended on al-Burâq, a riding beast with the head of a woman, through the seven heavens to the Throne of ALLAH. As expressed in the system of yoga, “Kundalini” has an feminine energy (Shakti) that dwells at the base of the spine and ascends through seven levels (seven chakras-Lataif) to the summit of liberation (Brahmarandhra).
