Jerusalem carries many esoteric and symbolic meanings that directly relate to a spiritualized state in Man. Jerusalem means the City of Peace and also the Vision of Peace; however, when Jerusalem is spelled Urusalem (Uru-Salem/Ur-Salem) its meaning is then altered to “the foundation of Peace” and/or “the dwelling place of Light and Peace (Harmony).” In man, Jerusalem represents the abiding consciousness of spiritual peace, which is the result of self realization regarding Man’s spiritual power balanced with a serene spiritual confidence. Anatomically, Jerusalem, the Vision of Peace, symbolizes the hidden nerve center located behind the anatomical heart: the Occult Chamber of the Heart. From this chamber spirit radiates divine harmonics to all parts within the temple of man.

• 1 Corinthians 6:19 “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own.”

Around Jerusalem stand the walls that symbolize the balancing of the negative and positive forces of soul consciousness which protect the spiritual substance from penetrating errors of limited thought. This is presented in Philippians 4:7, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds.” The equalization of positive and negative forces results in the renewing and spiritualizing transformation within the divine organism of Spirit-Man. When the adept learns to travel to the depths of silence and to the recesses of stillness within the heart center, the “Theophanic Vision” of Allah is revealed in degrees. This is the phase of development where consciousness receives an upload in divine intelligence which projects the consciousness program from one plane of manifestation to another while activating higher spiritual functions within one of the many “Overself” vehicles.

The way to Jerusalem, the dwelling place of Light and Peace, is by way of the Higher Self through Moorish Meta-Psychic Introspection, through the perfect expression of all mental faculties, by way of the 12 occult nerves (12 gates of Jerusalem, 12 pairs of cranial nerves, 12 precious jewels, 12 Disciples) which are under the control of the “I Am,” through the covenant between the Asiatic self and the Messianic “Overself” which embodies the divine codes of mutual polarization and spirit communication between the soul intelligences and through the binding of the “I Am” consciousness of the planetary intelligence (Nasuwt) that becomes attached to the “I Am” of the advanced higher evolutionary brotherhood that occupy the angelic realms of Malakuwt (Surah 21:92, Surah 23:52). The way to meta-physical Jerusalem, the Foundation of Peace, and its attainment lies hidden with the esoteric definition of Moslem, the one who is of Peace and the one who dwells in a (constant) state of Peace (Harmony). The adept is surely on the way to attainment of Peace when he/she realizes ever present essence of Allah within.

The representation of Issa (Jesus, Eshu, Esu) traveling to Jerusalem symbolizes the final step that one takes to crucify the ego self (lower self) for the Higher Self to triumph in the personal jihad that takes place within. This progressive unfoldment also signifies the time when the spiritual “I Am” takes control and lifts all of the animalistic forces of “nafs” into the spiritual planes of Mastery by way of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. This is the divine substance for transmutation, transformation and transliteration.

Truth is first received in the heart of Man, of which Jerusalem symbolizes, but because of intellectual dominance, truth is capture by the intelligence of the “Lower Self” and confined to the bonds of calculated illusion which is crystallized by the ganglionic receptacle of thought. This place of intellectual feeling creates concepts of error that plague the mind with chemical cellular memories of joy and pain. However, within the dwelling place of light and peace, located in the love center (cardiac plexus), truth is regenerated for the purpose of redeeming itself, for the temple of Man, through religious bigotry and intolerance, becomes the chrysalis center for narrow crystallized thought. This level of thought crystallization hinders the development of divine love and the activation of the “Occult Chamber of the Heart: the Dwelling Place of Allah.” The reason is: Man creates a wall of separation between the secular and the religious, the good and the bad, and the chosen and the “not” chosen, thus developing a psycho-spiritual caste system.

When the radiant light of truth is blocked in the heart and sought to be killed by the animalistic ego self, the ruling intellect sees truth as an assassin who has been inciting a revolt against the intellectual faculty and deems it an enemy combatant that creates the plot for the “Battle for Jerusalem.” The conflict for Jerusalem on Earth is directly correlated with the battle for Jerusalem in Man: the battle between the Higher Self and the Lower Self.

The New Jerusalem of Revelation (21:2) is the triumphant spiritual consciousness that receives the prepared programs for the spiritualized transition ” for “Man is doomed to perfection.” The peace makers (Moslems) then commune with the Single Brotherhood of the angelic realms to experience the Jerusalem of the Higher World from which the biophysical Jerusalem (City of Melchizedek (al Khidr), Urusalim, Salem) is a model of. Once the program of New Jerusalem is accomplished, a new creation story will begin as Man is redeemed for his next phase of development in the grand plan of Allah.

This is further expressed in the symbology of Mt. Moriah, a mount in Jerusalem upon which Solomon built the Temple (Chronicles 3:1). Mt. Moriah, meaning the Vision of God (El Eloh, al-ilah “Allah”) represents the divine inspiration and insight from the occult chamber of the heart that expresses the divine will of Allah through the higher planes of consciousness in Man. The mount of Moriah, esoterically symbolize a high place of understanding and perception that is beyond material body consciousness. These higher planes, the soul, spirit and psychic planes of consciousness, are aligned here, in Mt. Moriah, the farthest Mosque as stated in the Quran.

• Surah 17:1 “Glory to Allah who did take his servant for a journey by night from the sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts we did bless, in order that we might show him some of our signs: for he is the one who heareth and seeth (all things).”

The alignment of the consciousness planes with Jerusalem, on Mt. Moriah, awakens the adept to the divine plan (Will) of Allah which connects the Moorish Scientist to the fountain of light that is generated by the perpetual essence of Allah. This fountain of infinite wisdom radiates in the occult chamber of the heart and links the adept to the portals (realms) of higher creation which enlightens the Asiatic planes that are guided by the Single Brotherhood of Allah (Surah 21:92, Surah 23:52).

Shall each righteous, pure and persistent adept thrive to make a pilgrimage to the dwelling place of Light and Peace, Jerusalem, which is located in the farthest Mosque of Allah. May the pure in heart and intent experience their own personal “night of power (Surah 97:1-5),” an indefinite moment of enlightenment under the divine light of Allah.

“Time never was when man was not”..Man cannot die, the spirit-man is one with Allah, and while Allah lives man cannot die. When man has conquered every foe upon the plane of soul the seed will have full opened out, will have unfolded in the Holy Breath. The garb of soul will then have served its purpose well, and man will need it never more, and it will pass and be no more and man will then attain unto the blessedness of perfectness and at one with Allah.” - Moorish Holy Koran

In understanding the greatest truth, Man must first learn that he is not other than Allah and Allah is certainly not other than him as all visible and invisible, manifest and un-manifest creations are all of the essence of Allah. Once man gains a thorough understanding of true and divine nature, he/she realizes that they have neither bounds nor limits. This is the meaning of the symbolic and necessary spiritual deaths (transformation) that relinquish man of his ego self and replace it with the characteristics and attributes of Allah. Man then becomes one, in identity, with Allah, thus manifesting the “I Am” consciousness of the ever pervading essence of Allah. This allegorical transformation is hidden within the esoteric drama of Jesus (Issa, Eshu, Esu, Yehoshua) that states “that there is a holy ministry in death.” With an understanding of the divine codes manifested as “the message of truth,” man learns the meaning of the Islamic code of “death before dying.” This instruction indicates that one who dies before dying realizes that every aspect of his being is of Allah’s essence and being, therefore, understanding that there is no difference between Allah and him/her self. For if his/her being were not already of Allah, he/she could not begin to know themselves. Thus the statement, “when you know yourself, you know Allah” as there is nothing in existence or beyond existence but Allah.

The condition of self knowledge is to know that there is no separate self or ego that is unique to Man. If this was so, then there would be no urge or need to know self, as you have been a god, self existent and without any other existence but yourself. However, the manifestation of Allah’s essence is hidden in the realm of the seen and the secret is manifest in what is visible as Allah’s multiplicity is also his Oneness and his Oneness is his multiplicity. In truth, there is no being other than Allah as Allah manifests, simultaneously, in every moment at different states and in different forms. If one masters this concept and does not consider themselves to be equal to, the same as, other than or together with, Allah. For Allah is beyond being within a thing, or a person/thing being within him. Allah is neither inside nor outside of anything; nor can he be seen by the eyes of the head or with the inner eyes of man; nor can anyone conceive Allah through senses, the mind, the intellect, or the imagination. Only Allah can conceive, perceive and see himself. None can know him as he could only know himself. He sees himself by himself. That which conceals him is his oneness. None but himself can conceal him. The veil that conceals him is of his own being. He conceals his being with nothing other that his being, the only one; therefore, none other than he can comprehend or look upon him.

Neither can any prophet, human being, saint, perfected being or angelic entity in close proximity can see him, for they are not apart from him. Allah’s prophets, messengers, saints, and sages are none other than he, for he sent himself, from himself, for himself, without any other cause or means besides himself. Allah prepared his essence, sent his essence, from his essence, by his essence, to his essence. There is no difference between the One who sent and his messengers who are sent; hence the great and esoteric Islamic saying, “I know my Lord by my Lord.” This concept of Allah may seem strange, unreasonable, or farfetched, but this concept has existed throughout eons. To better understand this concept, consider the following passages:

• “Time never was when man was not. If life at any time began, a time would come when it would end. The thoughts of Allah cannot be circumscribed. No finite mind can comprehend things infinite”. Man is a thought of Allah; all thoughts of Allah are infinite; they are not measured up by time, for the things that are concerned with time, begin and end. The thoughts of Allah are the everlasting of the past unto the never-ending days to come. And so is man, the spirit-man”. So spirit-man as seed of Allah help deep within himself the attributes of every part of Allah. Now, seeds are perfect, yea, as perfect as the source from which they come.” - The Moorish Holy Koran, Chapter 1

• “No one has seen God at any time, I we love one another, God abides in us, and his love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His spirit”. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” - 1 John 4:12-13, 20

To understanding these messages is to understand your divine connection with everything as everything is of Allah’s essence despite not being able see Allah in form as an individualized, separate and grandiose anthropomorphic being. With this understanding, you see what is around you as not other than you, and all and everything as the existence of the One ” Allah; when you do not see anything else with him or in him, but see him in everything as yourself and at the same time as the nonexistence of yourself ” then what you see is “Al Haqq.” Then you truly realize that it is not yourself that you are seeing or yourself that you are knowing, but the essence of Allah, for only Allah can see and know Allah. When you know yourself with this quality, you know your Lord without being in Him, with Him, or united to Him. The knower and the known and the one that joins with the one joined, are then realized as one despite the illusion of many. However, one may ask, “How does one be with Allah, when there is none other than he, for one cannot be unified with one’s self.” For this question, the answer would manifest as, “there is no union or being with Allah, because to be with someone or to be united with something would be to imply that there are two entities. As there are not two, but One, there is neither a being with Allah nor a uniting the Allah. In the Oneness of Allah, coming of close has no nearness and being far has no distance, for there is no time and space. At this point the adept realizes the meaning of the following lesson, “Truth is Aught, Aught is Allah and Allah and man are one.” This is better demonstrated through the following: the one who knows and the thing known, the one who joins and the thing joined, the one who sees and the thing seen, are all One. The Knower is Allah’s attribute; the known is his essence. The Joiner is Allah’s attribute; the joined is his essence. The Seer is his attribute; the seen is his essence. The one who assumes the attribute is the same as the attribute. This is the meaning of “He who knows himself knows his Lord.”

There is nothing except Allah and His essence for every “something” and every “no-thing” exists as the essence of Allah, simply a reflection of the greatest perfection. When one looks into the mirror, one sees themselves. Their appearance appears as the image in the mirror. When one looks upon the image, in return the image looks upon them. The eye that stares at you in the mirror belongs to you; therefore, is it not true that the image that is now looking at you is, in reality, you looking upon yourself through your own eyes?

If that stands as truth, is not also true that if the name of the person looking in the mirror is Drew Ali, and if the image in the mirror could speak and say, “I am Drew Ali,” would it not be telling the truth, Yet, as the image is reflected, so would be the words. It would not be the image that calls itself Drew Ali, but the one who is looking into the mirror. The reflection is the same as that being reflected, and the words of the image are the reflected words of the “real one.” Hence, the great and boundless void represents the mirror and creation is the image in it (mirror). Man is as the eye of the image reflected in the mirror; the One who is reflected in the image is hidden in the pupil of that eye; thus He sees Himself. This is one of the great mysteries to understanding the “Oneness” of Allah.

Only those that have an active “occult chamber of the heart” will understand this message. The adepts that understand are those that have resolved to find themselves and know Allah by knowing themselves. Those who dedicated their efforts to gaining a greater understanding of Allah, have within them, the divine light of the love and the insatiable desire for Allah in their hearts. These are the ones who will gain admittance into the dwelling place of the throne of Allah and know that there is no existence other than Allah.

The one who does not know himself and who sees himself as other than Allah cannot see Allah; for one does not see other than what his inner sight will allow him to see, perceive or experience. The blind man does not see and those that lack understanding will struggle to understand. However, the one who sees, sees; and the one who understands, understands. These are the “pure” who will be enlightened by Allah’s light and who will find the path to truth, oneness and unity for this is the “Will of Allah.”

“The effectiveness of an educational system can be seen in the community and society through which it serves. The current state of society reflects a social system that has numerous titles and degrees, but very little resolve in the areas of suffering, moral structure, character development and social cohesiveness. Hence an active existence of an “inverse pyramid” society where intelligence and moral integrity are shunned while simultaneously, ignorance and under-developed psycho-spiritual attributes are rewarded with prestige, financial gain and social power.’ - Zothyrius Ali El

Moorish Americans are facing a future that requires that they become serious about the educational development of their children. The current educational and psychosocial foundations of our society are presently being corroded by a system of standards that encourage intellectual mediocrity, spiritual degradation and a lack of moral and character development. A lack in these departments threatens our very future. It is now paramount that Asiatics (Moorish) take control of the education process that nourishes the children, if not, the “business of education” and the “business of corrections” are only going to grow larger and the product of these institutions will be, in mass, the Asiatic (Moorish) male and female. This brutal industry capitalizes on the lack of educational, spiritual and moral development which in turns uses these raw materials (Moorish Americans) and processes them so that everyone gets their share of this financially lucrative entity.

In this machine of “Control” the politically weakest groups are stripped of human character and replaced with price tags and bar codes. This destructive state takes the gross national product and process them through the police departments, then through the law offices, then through the court offices, then through the corrections system, then through the parole offices, and the cycle, in many cases, repeats its self. Without proper control of the education system, the illusion of education will continue to produce the raw materials for this cycle of manipulation, control and dominance. However, this level of dominance and control takes place on multiple levels as the “Higher Education” institutions teach how to advance in the corporate world as opposed to how to control your own interests, affairs, business communities and ethnic enterprises. This type of “Higher Education” perpetuates the following questions: Why haven’t the Moorish Americans developed a business (social) class? Why are other ethnic groups controlling how their needs are served? Why do Asiatics financially support other ethnic groups and entities, and then seek them for employment? These are the questions that the rest of the world is asking of the Asiatics of North America.

In this day and time, the Moorish (conscious and unconscious) are earning the greatest amount of degrees, but simultaneously loosing the greatest amount of business territory and social and political power, which displays a warning signal that there is something wrong with the direction and ideology of this “Higher Education” system. It is obvious that these degrees are degrees for servants, which only prepare the Asiatic mind for service for “someone else’s” agenda and interest. Militarily speaking, it would go against the strategy of war to teach the enemy how to take control and usurp your power, territory, economic stability and well-being. This is what the current education system is all about. To combat this system, serious decisions need to be made regarding the children and the future generations that extend beyond them. They must be prepared mentally and their character must be cultivated and nurtured so that they can make better decisions which would allow greater power and control over their community, business affairs and interests and social prosperity.

Please understand that this in not to discourage Asiatics from entering institutions of higher learning, but a challenge to change the social and psychological direction of those that seek advancement and progress. The true purpose of education is not to teach the children to work at a large corporate office, or seek “equal employment opportunities,” but to educate the children to have superiority in their world and to deal with the world as an entity of influence and prestige, not as an entity for service. Nations seek advancement and progress for themselves and their citizens, not to be at total service to another nation. Moorish Americans, like other national citizenry, must develop, through proper education, the potential of their youth for the purpose of enhancing intelligence, motivation, character, spiritual connectedness to the path of their ancient forefathers and foremothers, social direction and scientific thought development.

It is important to know and understand that it is “not” what the parents have in terms of material substance, but the “upright” action(s) and the system of values that reflects wisdom and intelligence for the enhancement of the children that make the most difference in the active guidance and development of the child. The need for complex abstract thinking allows the child to see, with inner sight, the intricate system of dominance that is the cause of their social impairment. Rational and logical thought allows the parent and the child to act carefully as opposed to being demanding and reactionary; which is a result of concrete thinking and immediate sensation fulfillment.

To work past the status of “dominated,” select intellectual, social, behavioral and organizational abilities “must” be developed, cultivated and nourished within the very genetic and psychological framework of the Asiatic (Moorish) child. Otherwise to repress and suppress these abilities would only perpetuate a state of dominance and servitude on that child, those children and the many generations that would follow. The conditioning of the rat on the running wheel and the conditioning of Pavlov’s dog is a reality amongst humans and this level of conditioning first takes place within the psyche of the child. To ensure a higher sense of educational training, the child must be taught the importance of sequential thinking and implications, the ability to read between the lines and ask “what does this mean for the future?” This type of training will automatically intrigue the child and encourage them to study the past, connect it with the present and project in into the future as opposed to “living for the moment.’

The ability of Moorish Americans to project into the future permits us to act upon the present so as to influence the future. One way to break the cycle of concrete thinking is by increasing the children’s understanding of language and communication, enhancing the child’s socio-emotional development, refining the child’s ability to learn and teaching the child how to connect their physio-behavioral interactions with their social environment to construct intelligence and a platform for the acquisition of basic knowledge. A thorough understanding of the previously mentioned areas allows the improvement of overall cognitive and behavioral development which creates a holistic and balanced Asiatic psyche.

These areas help to bridge the relationship between intelligence and experience that establishes a nation for improvement in their ability to explore and expand their dimensions of social, spiritual and psychological development. The proper educational implementation of developmental psychology, as related to the Asiatic mind, helps generate positive experience which in turn formulate the mental fabric of intelligence that determine the character and power of later intelligence. This is also the product by which social and educational interactions are established with the psychosocial and physical environments. Therefore, from infancy to early childhood and on through adolescence, it is paramount that the child’s intellectual potential and inbreed learning instruments be revealed, developed and nurtured with the ideal that the child, graduating into the (psycho-social/spiritual) state of adulthood, learns how to further development their mental, intellectual and spiritual abilities after their educational experience(s) have concluded in an classroom setting.

This level of education, while utilizing a total perspective for critical self examination of the Asiatic for the purpose of progress and development, teaches the child how to press pass the envelope of “self containment” and recognize the detriments of mind limitation, spiritual confinement and social stagnation. In understanding, collectively, the role of a proper and proactive education, the teacher teaches and the child learns the infrastructure of mental slavery and how to combat it at its most subtle level of implementation. As the child learns to extrapolate knowledge and wisdom from every external and internal source and experience, the child learns to develop and cultivate his/her mind and intellect; which, thereby, develops their soul.

These are the type of minds that build pyramids. These are the type of minds that cure disease. These are the type of minds that act in a true and just manner. These are the type of minds that will bring balance to this plane of existence. These are the children of Islam.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.’

Within Man are three lights: the light of the mind, the light of certainty and the light of life. An example of these three esoteric lights can be best explained through the following phenomena: the Earth does not have its own light; however, when the Sun is reflected upon it, it (Earth) shines and is illumined as a radiant orb of life and intelligence. Just as the Sun shone on the Earth, the Sun also shines upon the Moon, making it visible to those that inhabit the Earth plane. This magnificent source of illumination is yearned to be comprehended by the optic nerve, but the photonic radiation is so great that it would terminate the flow of information in the optic chiasm which would result in blindness. The same phenomenon of illumination applies within the spiritual anatomy of Man.

The physical body, which is the domain of the lower self, is made of gross and mundane matter, like the Earth. Yet the light of the heart, which is the domain of the spirit of Allah, reaches the farthest corner and crevices of the shell of flesh, and is further reflected upon the mind, where the inner eye begins to visualize the greater reality. Just as daylight enables the outer eyes of the exoteric anatomy to see, so does the “heart-light” shining upon the inner eye prepares Man for the reception of higher tones with greater sensory perception. In this state of realization, the basic senses have no more use, for the light that the inner eye perceives vibrates at a greater frequency than the light that is recorded by the mundane eyes of exoteric anatomy. What is now seen are the greater information photonic codes of the angelic realms (Malakuwt). At this time, light upon higher manifestations of light (Light upon Light), opens a second eye of the heart. This is termed the eye of certainty, the eye that perceives “Al-Haqq,” the true reality. With the eye opened, the pure adept can pierce the veil and look upon light itself, which is called the light of certainty. The components of this light act as superluminal emanations from higher evolutionary manifestations of consciousness forces which guided all of the divine emissaries of the “Brotherhood of One (Surah 23:52).’

There are two divine lights that come from Allah (Genesis 1:16): “Then God made two great lights: the greater to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night. He made the stars also.” One shines upon the path of knowledge and wisdom, and the other shines upon the path that leads to the obliteration of ego (illusory separate identity of Man) and into unity with Allah. Man has two inner eyes in the heart: one is the eye of understanding, and the other is the eye that guides one to salvation. That light by which Allah guides is the light of certainty. This is the light that shines toward the path to paradise. If the source of light is added to the light shed upon the path of guidance, it will make visible all the hitherto unseen realms of the angelic beings in the greater worlds and planes of Allah. These are the beings who are the agents of Allah, who carry the secret commands of your destiny. This is the “Light upon Light” that is spoken of in Surah 24:35.

• The Holy Quran - Surah 24:35 “Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The parable of his Light is as if there were a niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass; the glass as it were a brilliant star. Lit from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth set forth parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.’

The light of life, the third light, is the light which energizes the animal self in man (Ruh al Hayvani/Nafs al Ammarah). There are three influences that weaken it and render it impotent. These influences are revealed as frequencies that deafens the ear; a veil that blinds the eye; and a veil that blinds the mind. These three influences, which are spoken of in the Holy Quran, are caused by the influence of the material world, the world of illusion and lower self intoxication. The intoxication with these three ruffians of negation renders the heart sick. When the heart is in a state of disease, the mind launches a ray of light upon it to immunize the heart against the tyranny of the lower self. However, while burning the debris of the lower self, it also burns the heart, and the heart on fire, is covered with the dark smoke by-product it generates. This smoke by-product separates the heart from the mind, breaking all communication between them. Thus the heart is darkened and void of light. It is this dark cloud that has fallen upon the heart which becomes a blinding veil.

That which obstructs the light of certainty and obscures the sight of the eye of the heart is the lack of trust, sincerity, and a lack of a discerning nature that distinguishes the positive forces of life from the negative forces of destruction. The resistance to these ills is within the range of human possibility. With positive intent, active effort and concentration upon Allah’s will, the imbalance caused by the lower self, can be healed and recalibrated to the harmonics of Allah. This will restore health to the heart and produce peace of heart (Islam). Then the Light upon Light enters, and with it, the eyes are open to the greater realms of being and realization. For the heart becomes a mirror where Allah’s light is reflected as Allah is the light of the Heavens and the Earth.

Luke 11:36 “If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.’

The mind is an intangible instrument of which the brain is a vehicle. In this case, the “Mind” acts as the frequency (radio station) and the brain acts as the receiving component (stereo receiver). However, the key to self realization lies in the vibratory realm of the Divine Mind. Just as a man with limited perception creates limits on that which is unlimited and beyond his/her power of thought measurement, Man with a greater insight has a larger view and is more attuned to the finer frequencies of that which is sacred, infinite and limitless. This evolution of mind allows the adept to see, through inner sight, the divine essence of Allah in all that occupy the plane of manifestation: Assiah. However, it is within the psyche of basic human thought and behavior, to examine people, surroundings and knowledge from their level of thinking as an instrument, or mind, can only measure a thing that is within its scope of measurement (MHK 10:18). Hence, a mind that seeks imbalance will find that which he/she desires, even in that which is balanced. The genesis of Man’s being is within his/her mind as stated in the etymology of the term man. In Sanskrit, the term for Man is manu or manushi and the term for mind is manas, thus expressing Man’s existence within the state of Mind. However, all of the external stimuli that seemingly exists before his eyes (illusion receptors) hides all other aspects of his true being, which in comparison to his external observations, seem invisible, unreal and insignificant.

Within ancient Islamic text is the saying, “If you wish to Know Allah, you must know yourself,” but while man is intoxicated and overwhelmed with the lower self and the realm(s) of illusion and (supposed) individualism, his path toward “Mind” attunement remains distant and unseen. Man, in this state of lower self involvement, sees himself as being a separate being with no connection being between “you” and “me.” This limited and basic concept of being fails to encompass the (greater) reality that each inhabitant is not only affected by the involuntary physiological activities that maintain his/her existence, but also the activities of others that directly affect Man’s emotions, motivation, perception and behaviors. The whole activity of Man’s mundane “life” depends on these thoughts and interactions and is changed according to their fluctuation in vibration. Therefore, Man is not truly independent or an individual as the essence of Allah permeates “all” through interaction and the science of synchronicity. Man is connected by thought and frequency; however, the degree of influence is based on the strength and personality that is receiving or sending the imagery of thought and vibration. With constant study, one begins to see how all lives are linked to one another by the unified current that runs through all; there are many lamps and globes of illumination, but one source of nourishment that remains constant in all, whether seen or unseen.

The Moorish Scientist seeks to realize this source of nourishment and chooses to impress this universal constant onto his/her mind template. Just as it appears that each wave of the ocean is an individual aquatic expression, it must return to its source from which a seemingly “new” wave may arise. The conclusion - there is only one, not many. However, the myriad, grades and degrees of feeling, thought and imagination, create experience that ultimately returns to the infinite depths of the divine mind where they (experiences) are assimilated and record in the greater realms of Akasha.

All aspects of life have a central focal point by which everything meets and joins together and that meeting place is within the Divine Mind of Allah. The purification of mind lies in the realization that the sea by which the varying degrees and grades of forms and names connect in one unified harmonic and that harmonic is the controlling mechanism of all thought vibration, mental sensation and perceptive ability.

The Qur’an is recorded as stating “No single atom moves independently of the hand of Allah;” therefore no thing or activity of any kind takes place, either here or there, in the galactic heavens, without the impulse from within and from the depths of being, where all signature frequencies (minds) and the effects of their activity meet and unite in Allah. This concept then urges the adept and initiate of “ahadiyya” (the unity of Allah) to act in the law of reciprocity, as the secret of inner peace and happiness lies in this cosmic principle. However, this principle does not encourage the seeking of happiness in others as the defining point of internal happiness and being, as? this principle is founded upon the acts of service and charity without the conscious and premeditated expectation of reward. If the world was viewed as dome where each action becomes a rippling vibration of another, the dynamics of this principle would demonstrate the following: Do positive works and those works would be returned to you; if not from one person, then from another. However, justice and reward will only be rendered when one becomes self-less, such is the law of justice. Do not do good deeds for the sake of reward, but because it is the nature and essence of your being.

Through balanced action and balanced thought, the Moorish Scientist develops his/her mind in the manner or purification: action, thought, behavior and feeling. This act of balance requires that the action of “judgment” not be used, for how could a finite mind judge the infinite process of evolution and role each Asiatic creation play in this drama of being and becoming? Whatever differences in principles of positive and negative action religious faiths may attempt to extrapolate, no two individuals will ever differ in the following principle: every soul seeks after the virtue of beauty and positive life experience as no one naturally demands to be abused, deceived, or mistreated.

Once the unity of Mind, the law of reciprocity, and synchronicity of destiny is understood and followed, the Moorish Scientist need not follow any particular belief system or restrict him/her self to a particular path as he/she will be practicing Islam whether they recognize it or not. At that moment in development, one has no purpose for being dependent on one particular path of attainment as it is then learned that inner beauty and divine attainment it not something you get from another; but a living essence in action that you give through your actions and your thoughts. The perfection of “Mind” is developed through contemplation, reflection, self realization and understanding of the one current that flows through the whole of “life.” That which we call “The Deity” is the depth of being, the essence of all activity to which all activity and every action is connected. This is the science of origin and return, the unity of Allah. The seeker of Aught (truth) affirms that his/her work is to forget the self, to obliterate separateness and become like the wave that realizes “I am the ocean,” and by losing himself into the ocean prostrates to its most divine self: Allah. In this, “‘be ye perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect (Mathew 5:48).’

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” - Mathew 7:6

It must be understood that your physical and psychological well-being can easily be affected by those that harbor negative energy, misery, counter-productive thought patterns and imbalanced actions and behaviors. This type of energy emission create cycles of pathology that becomes infectious, parasitic and crippling. Just as airborne pathogens, sexually transmitted diseases and viruses are contagious, so are emotional and behavioral states.

In many occassions, an involuntary victim can become a surrogate of disharmony and confusion, simply by maintaining an ongoing unhealthy (familial, romantic, business, frienship) relationship with another that precipitates their own distaster. Since the Asiatic creations of this “plane of manifestation” are extremely susceptible to the emotional states, energies and the behaviors of others, a rational conclusion can be reached that supports the fact that the negative and counter-productive behaviors of others can inadvertently affect the lives of those that attempt to display support and/or unconditional love. The perpetual involvement with others that practice the clinical definition of insanity (repeating the same process, but expecting a different outcome) will lead a sane individual to demonstrate acts of psychological self-harm and self-destruction.

In the process of self mastery, one must learn the difference between “unconditional love” and the psychological definition of “enabling.” Unconditonal love involves the action of love without measure or condition. However, within the scope of unconditional love, the mystic definition of “unconditional love” is the ability to “allow” the one being loved to experience the “mystery of life” without continued assistance that could jeopardize or stagnate their spiritual growth; becasue in the display of unconditional love, one learns the meaning of the old saying “sometimes to love is to let go.”

On the other side of this equation is the psychologically crippling behavior of “enabling.” Enabling involves aiding, assisting and supporting others despite their destructive behavior. Often times, the enabler will allow, and aid, the “agent of chaos” in the acts of harming themselves and their loved ones until inevitable destruction takes place. In this vicious and abusive cycle, many victims are created, directly and indirectly. This then creates a cyclic pattern of pathology that is perpetuated until one is born of that cycle that possess the “divine will” to break that cycle. One must have a truly discerning spirit if they are to avoid making themselves a prisoner to their own goodwill, or worse, they themselves become an “agent of chaos” exhibiting degrees of the behavior (physical, psychological or emotional) they were trying to remedy.

In all good effort, most desire to assist others to see them raise themselves up, change their thoughts and patterns, but often times, when one cannot discern the difference between unconditional love and enabling, the patterns of the “agents of chaos” end up festering inside and mutating the psyche of the one of goodwill. These “agents of chaos” are not to be misunderstood with those that encounter hardship in their life or some type of misfortune. These infectious entities are identified as those that continue the same path of destruction despite the counsel from elders, intelligent and rational assistance and the therapeutic encouragement offered from clinical advice and suggestions. However, growth and advancement, for these individuals, will take place from a more influential level which may either require intervention from 1) a higher source of being or 2) an intervention at a later time when they are more attuned to their higher self. Until one or the other takes place, these entities must be handled with care and discernment.

This type of person has the powerful ability to generate, and maintain, a vicious cycle of destruction that often leads to the demise of innocent people which entered their life for their good and for their eventual progress. The result of imbalance is often times imbalance. Negativity spreads and in some cases, the only assistance that one can receive has to come from a greater plane of knowing and being. It is a charitable service to assist and aid another, but it is also foolish to jeopardize your own divine reward for those that become intoxicated with the world of illusion and the temporary manifestations of feeling. A known fact amongst the wise is that there is an eventual destiny of destruction for those that constantly violate the harmony and the law of the most divine essence of Allah; but it is also known that “man is doomed to perfection.” This paradox basically states that he/she will eventually gain mastery at some stage or degree of their evolution while on the path of “origin and return.” This is an aspect of the symbology behind the allegorical lesson of Lot’s wife turing into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26).

It is important to help thy brother and thy sister, but it is also important to not follow the path of self-destruction all under the guise of goodwill. It is a beautiful act to recognize the infinite potential in another person, but the true lesson is for that person to recognize, and use, the potential that remains dormant in their inner sanctorum. You can only provide guidance and instruction, but the “will” and “act” soley belongs to them. It also remain true that you cannot provide supplementation to someone elses (inner) deficiency for they are ultimately responsible for their own salavation.

“If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of faith, we shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in (a state of) Hell - What an evil refuge!” - The Holy Qur’an Surah 4:115
