Code of Ma'atian Ethics

Ma'atian Ethics or the Way of Ma'at refers to the foundational principle of the universe (Ma'at) upon which God laid the creation. This "Way" was first described and explained in the Sacred Book and is found in many writings since that time. Many of the precepts may seem like common sense but apparently in all ages common sense has never quite been common.

Also known as the General Civilization Code (GCC) the Code of Ma'atian Ethics is the foundation upon which a free just and equitable society must be built. As THE foundational moral and ethical code of Uas, the GCC lays the groundwork for everything we do and build.

Members may log in to view the General Civilization Code.

Ma'at is our just cause, the foundation of the GCC, and Uas uses this principle to build our community. But the Way of Ma'at transcends the physical; it is also and even primarily the path to heaven and a way of building our relationship with God. We are taught in our Sacred Book that this is the way of life and exhorted to "Practice Ma'at, and Live!". So, what must be done on earth to be free of any wrongdoing, to be victorious in life, and see the face of God in heaven?

Do not be unrighteous towards the People!
Do not steal!
Do not be covetous!
Do not rob!
Do not kill the People!
Do not reduce the requirements!
Do not defraud!
Do not rob the property of God!
Do not speak untruth!
Do not take away food!
Do not be ill-tempered!
Do not be led to transgress!
Do not kill the sacred cattle!
Do not extort!
Do not steal another's share!
Do not eavesdrop!
Do not run your mouth!
Do not dispute except concerning your own property!
Do not have relations with another man's wife!
Do not be inimical!
Do not cause terror!
Do not mislead!
Do not be hot-tempered!
Do not be deaf to Truth!
Do not cause strife!
Do not wink at injustice!
Do not have homosexual relations!
Do not be false!
Do not be quarrelsome!
Do not be aggressive!
Do not be impatient!
Do not go against your color!
Do not gossip about matters!
Do not do evil!
Do not oppose the Nasi!
Do not forsake loyalty!
Do not raise your voice!
Do not curse God!
Do not be immodest!
Do not make distinctions for yourself!
Do not have needs greater than your own property!
Do not disparage the God of your Nation!

This is what we were commanded and this then is what is required of us. To make it to an eternal heaven we must do those things that are pleasing to God and refrain from those things that God abhors. In essence, we must be righteous. And YES it really is that simple. Righteousness exalts our Nation. Be Righteous and Live!
