This is the collected writings of one of the founding fathers of the Moorish Orthodox Church.
“In searching for the origin or seed of this vision return to 1965 when Walid al Taha - brilliant junky 350-pound jazz saxophonist poet - inducted us into the Moorish Orthodox Church, gave us a copy of al Ghazzali’s Confessions, & told us about the Assassins. ‘Passions are equal to Destinies’ as Fourier's calculus teaches - & these krazy-bricks laid the foundation of a temple of desire - of an imaginal Egypt 2-dimensional as a cigarette-packet design from 1913 but also n-dimensional - emerald gate to Jabulsa & Jabulqu the no-where Cities. Pyramids, palms, sphinxes, roses, crescent-&-star, minaret -- the orientalismo of a child's reverie. Why shouldn’t ‘Truth’ take the form of our obsessions?” – Peter L. Wilson (Hakim Bey)
