Who are the 85%?

In the 1950s a Psychologist by the name of Solomon Asch did a series of social experiments on human conformity called The Ash Conformity Experiments. These experiments began with a perceptual exercise. A group of 6 people were asked to participate in a study where they would all sit at a table and be shown a series of cards with one target line on one side and three comparison lines on the other side.

The participants would then be asked one by one which comparison line matches the target line. One by one they all choose the correct answer when the first and second card is shown. Of the 6 people participating, 5 of them were previously instructed to unanimously give the wrong answer when the third card is shown. This is unknown to 1 participant, the subject, who is now positioned to either say what they know to be correct or go along with the group just to fit in, knowing that the answer is wrong. There were 18 different cards shown and the 5 participants unanimously gave the wrong answer on 12 of those cards.

While most people said they would say what they knew to be correct and not go along with the group, researchers found that 75% of the subjects conformed and gave the wrong answer at least once. When the experiment concluded it was then revealed to the subject that the 5 other participants were instructed to unanimously give the wrong answer. When the subject was asked why they went along with the group just to fit in the answers Asch received ranged from self doubt, fear of being ridiculed by the others and the honest belief that the majority’s answers were correct. There were others who did not conform and of course they were in the minority. Keep in mind that this study was conducted on white male undergraduates of the same age range; a conformed racial, gender, cultural group. Given different racial, cultural, gender, age and socioeconomic backdrops researchers may see different results. Although this was the case, there is much to learned about conformity and one's sense of justice, especially when there are no visible signs of a reward or penalty for not conforming. 

Asch’s primary reason for conducting these experiments was to study how group behavior can influence an individual. What researchers recognized in these experiments are two forms of social conformity: Normative and Informational. Normative Conformity happens when people want to be accepted or liked, such as peer pressure and following music/fashion trends. Informational Conformity happens when people go along based on the belief that others are right or have more accurate information. Whether it was normative or informational social influence, the 75% of the subjects Asch identified as conformists are similar to the 85% within the Five Percent lexicon.

Within our lessons, some of the characteristics used to describe the 85% and their susceptibility to normative and informational social influence are, “poisonous animal eaters” [poor diet choices/not health conscious], “slaves from a mental death and power”, “do not know their origin in this world” [disoriented/lacking a cultural identity], “worship what they know not” [blind followers/non-critical thinkers], “easily led in the wrong direction but hard to be led in the right direction” [naive/easily manipulated], “worshipping that which they cannot see, invisible”, "do not let the 5% teach them" [stubborn/incorrigible], “they believe -in the 10%- on face value” [naive/easily manipulated] and others. In our language of Mathematics 8 is Build [and Destroy] and 5 is Power so the 85% are often referred to as a “Build Power” because this is exactly what they need to do in order to be a master of their destiny, not be mastered. Note that 8 + 5 = 13 and the 13th letter in our Alphabet is “M” for Master; the apex response to “What is his [or her] own self?” as our 13^th degree in our section of lessons known as the 1-36 asks us. Not all normative and informational social influence is bad. Some social pressure is important to maintain the integrity of a community against social decay and some of us do have more accurate information we should trust in after further investigation. As the 5%, or free thinking minority in Asch’s experiments who did not conform to the group, we teach, train and learn from others what’s necessary to rise above the gravitational pull of negative normative and informational social influences. This requires more than personal integrity or the audacity to stand out or stand alone. Among other things, it requires a sound premise [Knowledge = Foundation] of facts to stand upon, self confidence, the skills to defend our position and being inoculated against the potential ridicule, sabotage and loss that can come along with being a non-conformist. 

 Sheeple and Social Economic Engineering

Allah, affectionately known as “The Father”, who started the Five Percent Nation in 1964 began as a non-conformist. He stood alone and didn’t claim affiliation with any religious, political or Black Nationalist groups during one of the most turbulent times in American history. He taught youth that many in society perceived as incorrigible without a college education, a program grant, a paycheck or for community service hours. He just cared enough about his community, especially the youth, to do everything within his power to help transform its condition and help inspire, empower and educate them to be its future leaders. It's a tough path that demands resilience and the knowing that we may very well lose our life standing out or standing alone for what we know to be true. As evidenced by the problems we see in this world, most aren't willing to do this. Most people, we refer to as the 85%, means "the majority" or those who go along to get along even if it's wrong; like the silent majority who voted America into the mess #45 is making. Being of the majority doesn't make a person inherently evil, inferior, untalented nor are the names 85%, Build Power or Eighty Fiver a coded racial epithet Five Percenter's use to discriminate against or ridicule people. This, among other words/phrases we use in our language, is a sociological term used to coherently define how most people function within society; a society where a crony capitalistic minority, often deemed The 1% [we call the 10%], use social influence to monopolize its resources, institutions and economy. A question I always get from people who are striving to learn more about the Five Percent is, "Can the 85% ever become the Five Percent?" and my answer has been consistently the same: HERE. 

While many within the Five Percent commonly consider "Who" are the 85% as a means to define those who fit the description within our lessons, as evidenced by what some of us choose to do and how we choose to do it, it's clear that we may overlook the "When", "Where" and "How" are the 85%. There are moments or ways of thinking about ourselves and the world that are of the 85%. There are places that are Build Power domains. There are also procedures and social norms that dictate the function of an Eighty Fiver. In many cases, and without recognizing there's a difference between Who, When, Where and How, it's hard to even tell the difference between the 85% and those who call themselves the Five Percent. Either because of a person's social media persona, their close affiliations or the sheer lack of youth advocacy and community outreach in their neighborhood and city as a whole. So this question, "Who are the 85%?" is our 14th degree for a reason: it's synonymous with knowing our culture as 1 is Knowledge and 4 is Culture. It's about self evaluation, growth and development, not sitting on a high horse pointing our fingers to ostracize a segment of our human family. Besides, an Eighty Fiver may be the very one to save you or one of your family member's life while your Five Percent bestie is only in a position to say "Peace!"

Peace,

Our Universal Flag: Through Triple Stage Darkness

Our Universal Flag
Through Triple Stage Darkness

By Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz

The Universal Flag of Allah's Five Percent symbol is science. The science is about family; which reflects the Creator's diversity. The symbol is made of a #7, Sun, Moon and Star. This symbolizes man, woman, and child from the cosmic point of view. This is not religion of Islam but the science of Allah; there is no belief in this explanation. As we look into the cosmos, we see the Sun.  This Sun is a remnant of a Great Sun which created all matter which exists within our universe today.

Most religions subscribe to an morphological view in which the Creator is anthropomorphized: almost that man made Allah in "his" image and likeness, instead of the other way around. It takes a lot of atomic, cosmic and planetary construction  to coming around to creating man in the image. First you need a place for the event to occur. Next things have to change from a concept to an actual act or manifestation. That requires that the energy/matter that was undifferentiated become differentiated -not all over just in the area that was circumscribed for it. So the first sphere or bubble made in the vast undifferentiated energy matter was to distinguish the objective realm from the subjective realm. Its easy to know which is which: The objective realm is the place where all the objects will become. The subjective realm is the realm where the subject of our story will create a universe in the image of the one who created it. So the bubble is like the egg and the universe or objective realm is the first image that reflects Allah. The Great Sun is the "baby in the bubble" so to speak. The "baby"  is not man but electromagnetic atomic energy of the Sun. Religions like to use the word "spirit" but we refer to it as the first organization of atomic, electric, magnetic forces. Science not religion (although the ancients incorporated both).

Another way of looking at the birth of the Sun in triple stage darkness is that in the Sun is the birth and origin of all energy and all matter. How would you expect an infinite entity to manifest itself? Answer: Through an infinitude of forms originating from one source and maintaining a sense of cohesiveness or belonging (like a baby to its mother or a toddler to its nuclear family). There are three states of matter; gas, liquid and solids. When an implosion then explosion gave birth to the Great Sun, the flames transmuted the gases into molten liquids -which kept mutating through radioactivity. Through its enormous size and its spinning, portions of the Great Sun were flung into space. Some of the balls of this molten transmuting substance remained inflamed, while others cooled on their surface. Thus the birth of stars, solar systems, and planets came into being from one Great Sun. This was the first vehicle for Allah's willed consciousness and represents the foundation and all knowledge. Here reflected, is the Sun representing the quality of the creator; the point of origin of ALL things within the universe, as the creator formed the universe in a portion of itself. That is what the Sun represents on our flag symbol.

In the Bible, in the book of Genesis, human is formed three times. Just like the Great Sun, Allah willed man into being; first as a concept (consciousness), then the energies (of the undifferentiated energy/matter inside the bubble) marshaled in accordance to Allah's will (the soul), finally the matter being summoned, followed suit by reflecting the organization of its etheric double (flesh). Adam and Eve, in the story called Genesis, came into existence as A SINGLE ENTITY, FIRST. Read closely. Adam was lonely, and as Allah uses creation to reflect on Allah's said qualities, Allah distinguished woman in contradistinction to man; endowing her as the vessel to bear the fruit. This is the meaning of the Moon. In this act, Allah distinguished woman's soul from "he" and created "her" from "he" (H=8 in the Supreme Alphabet), but at first it was WE. Marriage now symbolizes compatibility, congruency and reestablishes the union when the TWO ARE MADE AS ONE. This is something all but forsaken in Western society with its independence and rugged individualism.

The Moon reflects the light of the Sun and the woman's menstrual cycle is tied to the Moon.  In Khamit [Khemet/Egypt], the Moon (and in our culture) symbolizes wisdom.  As such, she represents the RE-PRODUCTIVE FACTOR and all consideration through reflection; which is wisdom. Wisdom is to see the inner relationships between all things and respond appropriately. Wisdom is the way that reflects what one knows. This implies "to know better, you should do better" -if you are indeed wise. The Sun is the symbol of knowledge and the Blackman, the Moon is the symbol of wisdom and the Blackwoman and the understanding is the Star or child.  Family. Unity. Unified. One aim. One destiny. Knowledge is the foundation, wisdom is the way, understanding shows you when you are on your way. This is our life. The emphasis here is that everything came from the ONE and that Allah is experiencing Allah's qualities through a particular vessel and all vessels as well. When Allah wanted to start the process, Allah created the Atom. Allah experienced the atomic WORLD, then Allah started organizing the states of matter by experimenting with gases and then bang! The Great Sun was formed. Then Allah experimented with radioactivity and transmuting of gases into liquids and solids. Thus, the elemental and mineral kingdom was manifested as a result. Allah experienced that world and decided to make the elemental world; the basis of the mineral kingdom, the vegetable, animal and human kingdoms. Most creatures are formed in a semi-solid, liquid state, incorporating liquids, solids and gases. But here we are only speaking of gases and the manifestation of the Great Sun, other life forms were not made manifest yet.

The Spark

When the Great Sun spun on its own axis, portions of its molten substance were flung into space. Whether they remained hot (Stars) or not (Planets), their molten  core is a reminder of where they came from and their contribution is not only for the planet itself, but also the solar system. Those portions which turned totally cold became asteroids and meteorites. When we study the human body we see the same phenomenon at work. Billions of cells each functioning in their area of specialty; yet existing only for the sake of the entire organism. An organ, such as a heart or lung, as vital as it is for the life of a human, cannot maintain its own life outside of the body! Even though many of these organs send chemical signals to each other to coordinate function -which suggests some degree of consciousness or awareness of itself and its needs-, their culture never suggests a self centered function, unless it is malaise. It's ironic that we never view our body as an amalgamated collection, just as one being, yet when we think family we think of the components and not the fact that we are one. All is one. ALLah is one. Our consciousness came from one consciousness, our bodies came from one undifferentiated energy/matter yet most cannot see the fact that we were never really separated -unless you can say that bubbles are not composed of the substance they are spawned out of. . .

The above symbol is what we call our Universal  Flag. It symbolizes the corresponding elements between Sun, Moon and Star; Man, Woman and Child; Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding with Allah being the Grand Architect and custodian of them all. The family is a reflection of Allah with the Blackman being the custodian. The Five Percenters [AKA: Nation of Gods and Earths] are a reflection of Allah with an aware Blackman being its custodian. God/Man is expected to unhold and maintain the standard. The aware Blackman is to keep the code, lessons and principles as well as speak and live by Mathematics. The Blackman is to become the personification of knowledge and Allah, in time, through focus, growth and development. The Blackwoman seeing that he is just and true, reflects this understanding of the knowledge and truth he personifies into the family structure; like the Earth receives the light of the Sun to give birth to the crops, fruit or understanding. Now the Sun has eight points and the star has five. That is not to point out the difference between Father and Son or Knowledge and Understanding. This shows growth through refinement.  We know and understand that we can see a Star off in the distance, and by the time we get to that star, we find out it has a solar system of its own. In this scenario, in order for this Star to make itself known, that light had to travel a great distance. While light may travel 186,000 miles per second, the distance from Star to Star, or light giving planetary source to the next light giving source, is measured in light year increments moving at the speed of light. To us, as I-God scientists, the distance symbolizes growth and experience. A five pointed Star symbolizes Allah experiencing life in human form through the five appendages: Arm-Leg-Leg-Arm-Head, refining power as the experience shows the righteous way. This is done by understanding Allah's wisdom or being wise in Allah's understanding. The science that accompanies our eight pointed Sun is our eight point curriculum of Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabets, Student Enrollment, Lost/Found Lesson Number One, English C Lesson One, Lost/Found Lesson Two, Actual Facts and Solar Facts. Each point consists of a black side and a gold side. This symbolizes the dominant and recessive aspects of our genetics; the so-called "black germ" and the "brown germ" used in hybrid breeding and other forms of birth control. Each point is at a 45 degree angle from each other. This symbolizes our full realization into our true identity, wholly separate from the one superimposed upon us by Western society (8 x 45=360).  Each point is also 15 degrees wide. This symbolizes our 120 lessons (8 x 15) which allowed us to understand the significance of our journey as a people, and to awaken us to our self realization.

The #7 is in the center to remind the Blackman that he is God and all this centers around him remaining true to the culture of I-God. Allah is All and all is one. The Blackman is the custodian of this sacred phenomenon: lead the family; resurrect our nation. God is Allah experienced through the body of the Blackman; yet it is a group reality upheld and experienced through the eyes of one. Each one teach one; I am because we are.

Peace,

Life

Thoughtforms

By S. Quanaah



This weekend, November 7th, I chose to publish my fourteenth book "Thoughtforms." The purpose of this book is to share a conceptual-based cultural framework of Knowledge of Self [KOS].

One of the definitions of a thoughtform is derived from the Tibetan tradition called "Tulpa" which means to build [construct] with the Mind. As a writer, I am a scribe constructing and communicating a view of the world through words. To some, this profession is a form of mysticism: magical formations forged through powerful concentration. I wouldn't consider myself a mystic. Well.., maybe a natural mystic, yet writing does require a great degree of discipline and focus on a consistent basis. This book is another contribution of my contemplative life, written to inspire, empower and educate those who are considering and/or on the path of growth and development.

Thoughtforms encompasses ideas about society, psychological/social behavior, power dynamics, social structure and the science of everything in life from the cultural perspective of a Five Percenter. It's now available globally via Amazon, Amazon Kindle and my website Quanaah Publishing.

September 30th, 1995

September 30th, 1995

Each year I celebrate three different Born Dates: January 6th, April 23rd and September 30th. I was physically incarnated on January 6th. On April 23rd I legally changed my name 16 years ago and have assisted dozens of people do the same via my book How To Change Your Name Without A Lawyer. I celebrate September 30th because on this day in 1995 I finished learning my lessons. In other words, as a Five Percenter I gained KOS [Knowledge Of Self]; I got all 120 lessons from my Enlightener, was tested on my recital and understanding of those lessons and became a qualified Enlightener myself. Since I am 40 years old, this also means that I've been living this way of life half of my life now. From this day forward each year will mean that I've had KOS more years than I haven't. Today I wanted to share some of my thoughts about my experience over the years, where I'm at right now and where I'm aspiring to go.

Like with learning anything new, I had some misconceptions and unreasonable expectations about what gaining KOS and being a Five Percenter was twenty years ago. One of the biggest misconceptions I had was that lessons were something on paper someone hands to you. Even to this day, people with the same misconception reach out to me from all over the world inquiring if I could email, postage mail, inbox and refer them to where they can purchase lessons. When I met my Enlightener and asked him can I get the lessons he didn't write anything down on paper. He developed a companionship with me, we walked together and he taught me the lessons, mathematics and alphabets word of mouth. I eventually wrote them down for myself. The lessons weren't something he handed to me and sent me on my way with. Another misconception I had was the idea that just because I saw the value in this kind of education and journey of KOS that everyone else would too. Not. Lol It took me time to understand and respect that everyone has a choice. I've always been the kind of person who would walk a mile in the snow on a Saturday morning to go to the library. I've also known people who have lived in a city for several years and didn't know for sure where their local library was. I used to judge that, harshly. As I got older and wiser I understood that just because something is meaningful to you it may not mean sh*t to someone else. If someone is interested and invested, they'll strive to do everything in their power to attain it. If not, anything can and will be used to stand in their way. At times I put my own intentions, work ethic and expectations on others. Yes I desired greatness for some and other times it was pure EGO. When it was I learned the hard way that EGO doesn't only Edge God Out of the equation, EGO ultimately Eliminates Great Opportunities to grow, develop and forge healthy relationships. It took me time to understand and respect that everyone doesn't have the same learning styles as well. Some people are visual learners while others are more auditory. Still others are kinesthetic and prefer a hands on approach in education. These were some of the things I didn't know when I first came into the realization of who I was and sought to help others become self actualized. 

Anytime we're purposely learning, dealing with and meeting challenges in a white supremacist and institutionalized racist society, it is an accomplishment. There are so many things that can get us caught up, sidetracked, hoodwinked or dead behind. People often compliment me on how graceful, easily understandable and down to earth I present Five Percenter culture. I'm always appreciative of that recognition yet I think it's equally important to recognize that it didn't happen over night. It took and is taking time, patience, sacrifice, studiousness and many other elements to stay the course. In addition to my channel A.S.I.A. TV, I encourage you to check out my show Atlantis Build Talk Radio to gain further insight about some of these elements, especially Episode 1 Knowledge of Self. In this episode I discuss in more detail my personal growth & development process, the journey of KOS in general and I highlight other significant moments of becoming more self actualized.

In closing, I just want to thank all of you for your continual support and feedback along my journey. Sometimes I look at the clock and wonder how in the world I have enough hours in a day to do the various things I do yet I find a way. My only aspiration is to continue finding ways to further maximize my time and space to do even more. Create more. Be more of an example of Peace. Share more contributions with this world so it's left a better place than when I physically arrived here. 

Peace,
Saladin

Are We Culturally Congruent?

Are We Culturally Congruent?

     Based upon my experience of formally having KOS [Knowledge of Self] almost 20 years this September, one of the biggest misconceptions I've seen people have about Five Percenter culture is that growth and development happens over night. In this fast food microwave society people often have the unrealistic expectation of "instant results." The reality is, nothing happens over night but the night and it takes years, months and days to unlearn and learn things that will improve our way of life and make us resourceful to others. Culture is not something we add water to, stir up and bake for 45 minutes. Culture is not something we simply read on this blog, nod our heads to in a cipher or listen to on Instagram clips. Culture is the sum total of all of our people activities which includes everything from our diet, language, the way we behave in private/public, our perspectives on education and economics and even how we define our sex life. Culture encompasses every aspect of our way of life.

     When I first got KOS I wanted 120 Lessons. That is what I thought and believed was what it meant to be a Five Percenter; to know your lessons. While this is an integral part of learning the core values, principles, chronology, social norms and etc. of the Five Percent, I learned over time through walking with my Enlightener/Educator that lessons were not the sum total of this way of life. Over the course of our journey I also learned the Supreme Mathematics, our Nation's chronology, the Supreme Alphabet, Twelve Jewels and other sciences of life. Still then, these components which comprise our cultural curriculum were still not the sum total of this way of life. It took me years, months and days of experience to realize that regardless of our personal growth and development or individual accomplishments, they mean very little without the context of family and community -the cultural building blocks of any nation. In other words, in order to have a culture or sum total of people activities we must have a group reality; people. That sense of collectivism provides the context of culture because in order to improve, tend to, raise or grow anything it requires interdependence. In our physical environment that interdependence or network of organisms interacting together is called an Ecosystem. When it comes to us personally, without that sense of collective consciousness and sensibility, our way of life begins to reflect more of an Egosystem.

     What inspired me to write this are the experiences of different people reaching out to me for support. One of the common things I hear is that Five Percenters in certain areas are not actively involved in their communities or doing anything for others. Aside from putting pictures and video clips on Instragram or being universal flagged-out on Facebook, many of these people are simply going to work everyday, if they are employed, and possibly attending a nation function once a month dressed in their Sunday's best. That is disappointing. That was not what the Father or his companions did. If that would have been the case none of us would be here because nothing would have been shared. I met my Enlightener unenrolled in a semester of college still going to physics, sociology classes and etc. to learn. That wasn't a typo, I said "UNENROLLED" meaning; he did not have to be there yet he was there to teach others. Some of us only take a class or training when it's necessary or we're getting paid. There are some Five Percenters who only engage the public, and other Five Percenters, monetarily. The only things they're ever involved in benefits them personally, including their own household, and they don't facilitate anything that solely helps others. That is a problem. Why? Because imagine where we would be if the Father had that kind of self serving mentality. Imagine if the Father and his companions' main platform was to monetize their relationships with the youth, their peers and anyone who looked towards them for guidance and support. Consider how it effects the lives of those in need today when the only time some of us are willing to do something, or ask others for something, is when it personally benefits us and ours?

     This year I became an active member of a grassroots organization in my city called Niagara Falls Forward; a group of like-minded citizens invested in enhancing the quality of life for citizens in our city. Some of the things we've done are information sessions, a voter registration drive, food/clothing giveaways and we recently held our First Annual Niagara Falls Forward Family Festival on July 4th. Everything we've done has been made possible by the community, for the community. A couple of weeks ago we participated in a local event called Pints4Progress. Pints4Progress is an event held once month where citizens come together to eat, drink, socialize and vote on a project that will help improve our city. Each new attendee pays $5 and former attendee pays $10 to attend. With their entrance fee they get a meal/drink and after everyone has had a chance to socialize, several attendees are invited to present a five-minute project idea to the group. Once all those interested have pitched their ideas, each attendee votes on the project idea they favored the most, with the highest vote-getter taking home all funds collected at the door. The week we attended there were almost 150 people, seven presenters and I did a five-minute presentation about our First Annual Niagara Falls Forward Family Festival. We won the pot and walked away with about $1,300. One of the things I emphasized to the group is that although we would like their vote to help us secure a couple of bounce houses and other things for the children during our festival, we came to offer our help as volunteers for any of the businesses/organizations who were in need, and we came to ask if any of the attendees were willing/able to be a Niagara Falls Forward volunteer at any of our events/initiatives. We actually accomplished all three goals! One of the things I realized from this experience, that reaffirms some of things I've written about in this article and have reiterated over the years in my writings/videos is that people are often more willing to help you help others than help you help yourself. Let me repeat that, "people are often more willing to help you help others than help you help yourself." Some of the other presenters who didn't win wanted people to vote for them to take the money to support their [personal] business. Yes I'm a strong advocate of localism, supporting black businesses and etc. yet that approach is no different than asking someone to take money out of their pocket and put it in yours. There's no magic, marketing scheme, bells and whistles website or infomercial to it. All it takes is the willingness and ability to do for others, period. This is something I consistently strive to communicate to others, especially my Universal Family, who are genuinely committed to successfully assisting others. Our First Annual Niagara Falls Forward Family Festival was very successful as well; we were able to serve over almost 400 people, had a basketball tournament sponsored by the WNY Elite Basketball Club, had three bounce houses for our children and gave away free ice cream and food -all which was made possible via sponsors and volunteers.

     In closing, keep in mind that 'you are because we are.' Without the contributions of others, even the invention of something as unassuming as toilet paper, there are choices and opportunities we wouldn't have right now. The survival of any culture hinges upon it's ability to cultivate human beings into a group of people who forge unions/units that share common attitudes, interests and goals. These unions/units become communities; the cultural framework for all of its people activities. The more we're willing/able to look out for each other, the less we have to lookout for each other. As Five Percenters, we should expect more of ourselves than functioning like a social club. Handing someone supreme mathematics or getting them to recite lessons does not make them an upstanding member of their family or productive member of their community. Our primary role as civilized people is to teach civilization, which is not just knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement and not being a savage in the pursuit of happiness. Civilization is a group's advancement process in all aspects of their people activities. To grow and advance as a collective this means its people are tending to and raising each other up. The reason there are any positive advances or growth amongst any group of people it's because there are those, often small in number, who know and understand this. Our culture is not about what we can take to advance ourselves personally. Our culture is about what we're actually giving, each and every day in each and every way, to advance the lives of others.

Peace,
Saladin
