BANNERS

Banners are mediums for proclamation.  They may state our affiliation, and concomitantly, our beliefs.  Secondary to that, is our style of dress, personal presentation, body language, and so forth—our person Banner(s).  How invested are you in the Banners that you fly?  Do you know their deeper meanings, and are you fully, consciously aware of their superficial meanings and how the Banners are perceived?

Just as we often follow the tenets and dogma of structured beliefs that may no longer fit us—or have never fit us—we often find ourselves living and working under a Banner that is just as false.  How do you identify yourself?  Which affiliations with which Banners do you speak of when you are introduced to another person?  How do you use them to help explain your current roles in life?

Example:  I am a human/ I am a woman/ I am a daughter/ I am a sister/ I am a girlfriend/ I am a wife/ I am a mother/ I am a teacher/ I am a liberal/ I am a conservative/ I am a Christian/ I am a Buddhist/ I am a community organizer/ I am a hermit/ I am an extrovert/ 
I am an introvert/ I am a believer in all things natural/ 
I am a believer in all things progressive and new

How many roles do you play in this life and how many Banners do you display to announce these roles?  Study them for authenticity.  How many did you take on due to tradition and the expectations of others . . . and how many are genuine and high-thinking, and support you on an empowered pathway?

Banners are flown to separate, differentiate, and rally.  A Banner used to gather like minds to a like purpose is a powerful instrument.  How often have they been flown to announce harm?  Think through the annals of your human history.  On how many battlefields, did a banner fly to announce an aggressor and defender?  How many times has a Banner announced annihilation?

All Banners are used to separate, differentiate, and rally.  If you do not clearly, truly, understand the deep meanings of the Banners that you fly, you are advertising to the world a falseness—one that is perhaps, harmful.  What you advertise yourself to be is quite often the only thing that people perceive you to be.  How goes your campaign?
