A Definition of Moorish Science

A Definition of Moorish Science


“During the Persian, Greek, and Roman invasions, large numbers of Egyptians fled not only to the desert and mountain regions, but also to adjacent lands in Africa, Arabia and Asia Minor, where they lived, and secretly developed the teachings which belonged to their mystery system. In the 8th century A.D. the Moors, i.e., natives of Mauritania in North Africa, invaded Spain and took with them, the Egyptian culture which they had preserved.” Stolen Legacy p. 39.

“As Such, the people of North Africa were the neighbors of the Egyptians, and became the custodians of Egyptian culture, which they spread through considerable portions of Africa, Asia Minor and Europe. During their occupation of Spain, the Moors displayed with considerable credit, the grandeur of African culture and civilization.” Stolen Legacy p. 39

“In addition, the Moors kept up constant contact with mother Egypt: for they had established Caliphates not only at Baghdad and Cordova, but also at Cairo in Egypt. (Europe in the Middle Ages by Ault p. 216-219). Just here it would be well to mention that all the great leaders of the great religions of antiquity were initiates of the Egyptian Mystery System: from Moses, who was an Egyptian Hierophant, down to Christ.” Stolen Legacy p. 40

Moorish Science is defined as the “the condition of being at peace via submission to the universal laws of the Most High” through the infinite progression of the “study of self.” Moorish Science encompasses all spiritual sciences with the negation of superfluous dogma or doctrine, due to that fact that the “Royal Science of Self Realization” can be found in all spiritual systems of antiquity; “Truth is Aught and can not pass away” as stated by a Moorish Maxim. Moorish Science unearths Aught from under the “rubbish pile” so MAN can perfect himself as a perfect stone (smooth ashlar) in the temple of the Most High. The Moorish Scientist seeks to find “that which was lost” within himself, thus placing him on a path, journey or pilgrimage to Self Mastery. The seeking Moorish Scientist in called a traveler (Salik) in search for the infinite and unchanging Aught for “Truth (haqiqat) is Aught and Aught is Allah (the Infinite, Neter Neteru, Brahman, Yahuwa, The Tao).” Moorish Science urges the seeker (talib) to allow himself to be raised to the higher planes on consciousness by traveling through the realms of nasuwt (realm of the created beings), malakuwt (realm of the angelic entities) and lahuwt (realm of the Most High). As one meaning of the word Moor is “Navigator,” the Moorish Scientist “navigates” in his travels through the realms of time and space. The Navigation process is synonymous with ships and sailing, thus the “Sailing” process represents the beginning of “motion” in the plane of creation. Motion is the “first cause,” thus, creating the realm of time and space, which generate the conditions for the phenomenal universe.

Prior to the “first cause,” there was the primeval state (Ein Soph) of being without any form and without existence in the realm of time and space. Therefore, Moorish Science teaches that Human beings are Humans “becoming” forever ascending upward through the hierarchical systems of the Infinite, from the lower realms of Malkuth to the higher levels of Kether; from Ein Soph Ur, to Ein Soph to Ein. The study of Moorish Science, the Union with Divine Reality (fana fi al’Haqq), maps the “Kingdom of God” by implanting the seeds of wisdom that reflect the following messages:

• Luke 17:20-21 “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
• 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
• John 10:34-35 Jesus answered them “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken;”
• Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High.”

Therefore, Moorish Science, the merging of the “Lower Self” into the “Higher Self”- the union with the Divine Will, encourages the “Resurrection of the Messiah (Christ) Within You;” understanding, however, that Christ Consciousness prepares the adept for Melchizedek (King of Peace) Consciousness, then on to Metatronic Consciousness. The infinite process of consciousness evolution, despite the many wrong turns man may make on his journey, encodes the blueprints of MAN’s ultimate destiny which says, “MAN is doomed to perfection.” The Divine Constitution, with it’s seven universal principles (articles) of Mind, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect and Gender; represent the governing entity of MAN and in MAN.

Moorish Science, through the Moorish principle of “Isonomi” allows the true essence of Moorish Science to be an operative science as opposed to a speculative art. Keep in mind that Moorish Science is the ancient spiritual system taught in the “Pyramid Universities” around the Earth( Assiah) and is the science that allowed Enoch to walk with God (Genesis 5:24), “Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.” Moorish Science is the ancient “science” of Egypt, India, Mexico, China, etc, that taught the Universal truths that connect “everything to everything (Synchronicity).” Moorish Science is the “God Realization” teachings of Moses; Abraham; Buddha; Jesus, (Yahoshua) the Christ of the of the Piscean Age; Ahkenaton; Krishna, Muhammad, etc. Moorish Science allows MAN to spiral inward until he finds himself in the center of the grand Universe fully conscious of the inner workings of his surroundings.
