“My clarity of perception has wrought my undoing, for I have lived in a generation which has no concept of the simplicity of Truth. The world fears a mind which thinks more accurately than its own; such a mind it destroys in self protection. To think is to be persecuted by those who do not understand; to have vision is to be hated by the visionless; to be wise is to be reviled by fools. Since the beginning of time itself men have laboured under the delusion that Truth could be destroyed by murdering those who sought to give it to the world. But the sublime vertices of Aton are far beyond the reach of mortality and in every age are reborn in others who rise up to carry them forward again. My voice has been weak and a small voice. But there shall be others and they will sing the glad song of freedom for all mankind to hear.” - Akhnaton from the Secret Places of the Lion

As time has shown on many occasions, it is easier to discredit and display error in an advanced work from a mind of genius and greatness than to show appreciation of its value. Faults are of a finite and particular nature which are easily absorbed by the sponge of negativity that is possessed in the ill heart of Man; however, on the other hand, the stamp of innovativeness that genius impress upon its works is inexhaustible in excellence and do not become obsolete as they serve as instructions for many succeeding centuries and generations. The perfected masterpiece of a true visionary will always have a profound affect on humanity, so that it becomes incalculable to what distant its enlightening influence may reach.

However, it must be understood that instantaneous, widespread and far-reaching change and acceptance does not take place suddenly because of the great difference, in frenquency and mission, between the genius mind and the mundane mind of the ordinary and drone-like masses. The revealed knowledge that Noble Drew Aali presented in the form of the Moorish Holy Koran, the Moorish Literature, his keys of wisdom that encouraged self-study and self-mastery to counteract the adverse affects of mental slavery, and his teachings regarding the importance of natal identity (Nationality) and spiritual uprightness, can not “at once” be the property of mankind until men gain the insight and integrity to recieve what the genius had to give, however, the industrious torchbearers shall be ever-present, waiting to bestow the infinite message for the upliftment of fallen humanity.

Even after a successful struggle with unworthy religious, political and nationalistic opponents, who contest the life, works and teachings of what is immortal at birth, and would like to delay the salvation of the Asiatic creations, that knowledge must wander through the circuitous paths of innumerable false interpretations and distorted applications; it must overcome the attempts to unite it with old errors, and thus reside in internal conflict, until a new and unprejudiced generation comes forth to meet it with appreciation, an open mind and love. However, in youth, this generation will receive some of its contents, of that source, from a thousand different channels who attempted to assimilate it by degrees, and thus shares in benefit that which was to flow from the spirit oriented genius to the rest of humanity.

Slow and dudged is upward progress in the spiritual advancement and the divine education of the Asiatics creations. However, time will reveal itself when Noble Drew Ali’s teachings will become evident in relevancy, when the spirit of the age, itself gradually reformed and calibrated in the most essential respect by the influence of that teaching which furnish the living evidence of the power of that genius intellect personified as Noble Drew Ali.

Attempting to openly accept the teachings of Noble Drew Ali is like introducing the ancient mysteries of alchemy into a modern chemisty curriculum. The works of Noble Drew Ali needs no validation, but the teachings themselves will externally extol their mastery, and will always reside on the earth plane in the spiritual essence of Noble Drew Ali.
