SWASTIKA
August 06, 2012
For many years the symbol of "swastika" is being misunderstood, therefore, misinterpreted. It is being mistaken for symbol of evil, according to which direction it is spinning, while in fact, direction is irrelevant and can be argued back and forth into eternity.
Reality is that the symbols of "yin/yang" and "swastika" are portraying exactly one and the same principle - Universal One. The one principle is the principle of creation; the principle of life, which is the principle of eternity.
The principle of eternity is neutrality, which is the result of completeness, or oneness attained. The way it is attained is through perfect balance [harmonious relationship] between positive and negative poles of core of energy; life. It is the point and place within where the masculine and feminine neutralize one another, and peace ends the battle of these two opposites, opposing each other and creating internal conflict, which manifests the external conflict in the world among people.
One could easily say that such an act is truly a compromise where two opposing forces in perfect ratio 1:1 melt into a single organism - Almighty One, presiding over any limited perception [reality] of being.
Peace is a result of wisdom and to attain it one needs courage, in order to be able to see pass dogmas, created by limited perceptions - therefore, open your Eye.

It sucks how a few bad apples spoil the bunch. I don't think Hitler is a popular last name anymore. Oh well.

The Manji in eastern traditions, one of the multitude of ancient Greek keys, it is indeed a pattern of balance, the Nazis tarnished its true meaning and history is loath to return the symbol to its proper place, which is unfortunate. The ironic thing is that the Nazi's misappropriated so many things from various cultures that have not been as vilified in the west. Case in point: nearly their entire architectural output was in the neoclassical style, which of course is also the style of western democracy. They appropriated the term Aryan (which was an ancient Indo-Iranian culture). The list is pretty endless. However the swastika is the easiest symbol to target and attack and it never helps that dipshit neo nazis continue to propagate that hatred. We need to breakdown the stigma and allow the true nature of forms to flourish. The cross is another such symbol that has too much loaded meaning put on it to ever be seen clearly. Only when the hatred that is synonymous with facism and the nazi mentality is completely erradicated from our world will the true meaning of the manji return.
