Al Ilah : the "I Am"

In Arab culture, Al Ilah, the deity, is identified by who spoke to Musa, ostensibly
the God of Ibrahim and Yitzak. The concept of the deity--that through whom life lives--is one that is quite trivial to older civilizations but seemingly too complex for ours to embrace intelligently. In the bible, in Exodus, Musa asks God his name: God say "I am that I am". What does this mean? In "High" religions, God is within, but createad the without. In these religions, sourced from Melchizedekian Astrology, the universe is a system which gives life license on earth. Knowing nothing about other planets with life, we can say that what Life is is the substance that is earth and its reaction with the universal system granted power of attorney by sol invictus--the unconquered sun--and all auxillary input. So, the "I" is identified as what makes it possible for you and me to both say "I". That I is the I of "I am." I who. I that. I which. When we drink water, it is I, through us, who is satisfied. When we eat food it is I, through us, who enjoys the release of pheromones in I's distributed center, the brain. Yorubas might call "I" Aye-Wa, our life. The Jews, YHWH. Christians, Je'Ourve. Catholics, Dominus Solus. This concept is important, for we are, in the image of "I", dual form volitional agents. Our first form is within, "I," our second form is without. The without is created by God the almighty father, creator of heaven and earth. In this form, through thunder, lightning and great works he appeared to Abraham, but to Moses he appeared as the "I". This is the distinction. But why did he appear to Moses within, but to all else without? Because Moses was a ruler of Egypt when he forsook the evil ways of the Pharaohs of the time, but knowing only what he had secretly been taught of his own people, this thirty-third degree grand mason of Oke-Meta left his plush position in the realms of the rich, and took his people back to their fatherland. A University Chancellor, disillusioned by the lack of morality, becomes a nomad, with a few cows and an entourage--just like Abraham. And wouldn't you know, he succeeded. He made it back home. At least, his people did. The book of Leviticus shows Moses, once the most sophisticated man alive, struggling with the ancient ways of Abraham, a Moses who lived in Cosmopolitan Egypt that was every bit as sophisticated, perhaps more, than America today. He became a Fulani Cattle rearer and crosses the red sea into the land of his Father Abraham. It is clear that the "I" was who convicted Musa to seek his own God, if morality did not exist in the gods of Egypt despite their advanced technology and society. We call this the two Gods, Jehovah-Yaweh, who existed only and then had a thought. From this though he carefully crafted the Universe, then inhabited his creation from a point in space.
To be sure, for any skeptics, Life is defined as any mobile entity that can, seemingly at "will," circumvent the universal signal because of which all orbit is ordered. This is to say one might easily begin walking around in a circle all one's life, to demonstrate that only orbit is rational. Anything material that can escape universal orbit MUST have been granted the Powers of WHO created orbit, in order for orbit to be relevant only in context. We are made in the image of God.
Now, about that, "let us make man in our image and likeness." This statement was spoken by the council of 33rd Degree Grand Masons and the interpretation is: "Let us make man to be like us, holy, pure, and 1 in God." But man fell, and from time to time God raises the gods to make man God. Al Ilah, the deity.
