CHAPTER 1

It is a blue flag. More specifically,  cobalt blue, my favorite color.  It has thirteen white stars representing the first thirteen colonies but look at them closely. The stars are six pointed!  Not like David’s star you see in Israel’s flag or Jewish synagogues but more pointy and acute angles. But, why six pointed stars? I thought the American stars were five pointed.  I was so confused but the flag looked so stunning, I fell in love with the flag.  I printed the flag from my computer and hanged it up on my wall in my studio, centered on the wall, high above. I then took down everything else on the wall so I only had this one flag up, like alter.  I would set on a chair for days meditating on it.  One day, I connected the star pattern with this pattern I’d seen and studied about, the Flower of Life.  If you are not familiar with this pattern, it is very ancient and universal pattern.  You see this pattern in almost every ancient culture and it was regarded as the fundamental principle of life and the beginning of the Universe.
