Free National Standards (Values) act as an essential element in the development of an individual’s conscious view of himself and his world. Values are the standards by which an individual or nation determine what is acceptable, appropriate, important, worthy and honorable. These standards help to regulate behavior and guide conscious development. The maintenance of a strict and pertinent system of values involves the determination of decisions, decisions that not only influence the behavioral activities and group functionality, but more importantly helps to mold the individual’s character and the direction of his/her physical life cycle. However, it must also be understood, that values, in connection with the consciousness which they (values) help to direct and guide, act as instruments of progression, self preservation and the establishment of a strong and powerful self-concept. Since values, like consciousness, are largely taught and expressed through socialization, it must be realized that they also create and influence the cultural, educational, psycho-spiritual and life experiences of the individual and how they interact, perceive and operate in a social environment. Therefore, the degree of psychological development, self-motivation and self-control an individual or group exercises under the influence of standards, is directly correlated to the degree to which his/her functional values are intrinsically or extrinsically demonstrated, generated and/or activated.

To understand how one’s social power is determined can best be displayed by the following example: If group (A) determines the values and identity of group (B), the behavior and values then become influenced and controlled which then determines the degree of development that can be achieved by the controlled group, which in this case is group (B). This process of control allows group (A) to maintain, retain and exercise greater control and power over group (B). This level of control creates the illusion that group (B) is in control of their own actions and destiny when in reality, group (A) is socially controlling the behavior and direction of group (B) the entire time. However, the origination and control over one’s own value system and interests lead to greater freedom in direction, thought and progress, but a system of strict and detailed standards must first be followed, in mass, to solidify forward progress and movement.

Cultural values and standards are the means by which a group capture and accomplish greater degrees of self-control, which is a level of control that is directed and governed by its own established standards and guidelines. As stated in the “National” teachings of Noble Drew Ali, free national standards and identity represent a form of social control and as such, is a form of social power; a means by which an organized citizenry gain power over their own affairs, themselves and their direction, in order to achieve select and desired results. However, it can be easily concluded, that to achieve a deep rooted and operative social control over any select group of people, they have to be disconnected from their identity which directly links to language, values, morals, character development and consciousness. The ridding of these essential elements allows for an implementation of a subordinate culture and value system that is in accordance with someone else’s spiritual, economic, social and/or political interests. This degree of psychological control is termed Mental Slavery, for how could someone know if another has stolen their mind, if the other generates and control the thoughts that the other is thinking and the behavior that they are exhibiting. Therefore, it is paramount that a group of people function from their own system of values, standards and directives if they plan to control their destiny, direction and consciousness development for centuries and generations to come.

As documented in the Moorish Literature, its not money that make a nation, but free national standards and power that make a nation. However, Asiatics have been trained to value things manufactured and marketed by others than themselves, thereby enriching and empowering others while impoverishing and disempowering themselves. The Moorish value system must be honored and respected, Moors, consciousness and unconscious, must begin to demonstrate an operational system of strict values which empower and enrich their social, economic and political standing as a nation of value and standard oriented people. Thus, to the degree that the functional values that determine Moorish / Asiatic behavior are truly Moorish centered, to that degree Moors become self-controlling, self-empowering while simultaneously liberating themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.

The attributes of strength and highly developed consciousness levels determine the character and behavior of a people. These attributes of strength and personal integrity act as standards for structure which define the needs, values and interests which determine skill, behavioral and psycho-spiritual achievement. The functionality of a high degree of motivation, consciousness, and skill validates how the ability of a cohesive group can impact and change its relation to the world and thereby change the social order and power structure. The strength and consciousness of a cohesive group deeply depends on the degree to which the citizenry / members remain and display loyalty to its values, remain committed to its survival and progress, and increase the degree to which the citizenry / members demonstrate an ability to work together to defend themselves against the negative influences and intentions of others while simultaneously achieving their mission, aims and goals. This level of cohesiveness is determined by the degree to which the group’s citizenry / members learn to find common standards in measure that increase “Oneness,” cohesive interactions, proactive movement and a dismissal of differences to achieve a common mission and goal. Thus the statement, “love instead of hate” applies for the sake of progress and survival. Once observed in close proximity, the common standard of measure is 1) the free national name of Moorish American and 2) the Moorish Holy Koran. These national and divine “standards of measure” are the tools by which the Moors shall stand as one unified entity in the 21st century.

Love is the magnetizing and universal force for progression and evolution; however, hate and negative thought frequencies are the forces that divide, stagnate and hinder the evolution and development of the Asiatic in the areas of economics, social integrity and psycho-spiritual advancement. It was the latter that stagnated movement, success and a national cohesiveness within the Moorish American familial structure. The standards and values of the Moorish American must become the glue by which the Moors connect themselves despite group fragmentation and differences in perception. The free national name (natal identity) and the Moorish Holy Koran are the standards and values that bind the Moors to the path of salvation. These are the instrumentalities of power and social and spiritual progress and development.
