Another SashiFlag Story

Another SashiFlag story has to do with some women who went to Costa Rica to help local women build their own adobe houses. These Costa Rican women saved up enough money to buy land In their lifetime they would never be able to save up enough to buy a house. There was a group of us who wanted to contribute to this project. I was not able to go because of health reasons. At the 12th hour, the other people asked to bring the SashiFlag Project there. The local teacher in this community ended up teaching the children that the more they felt peace, the more it was having an impact on the world at large.

The children were so thrilled to understand that the peace they felt could influence others all over the world. They were taught the simple- that we are all interconnected. They voiced a feeling of helplessness from the war images they see on TV from faraway places. With this new understanding of inner peace, they spontaneously began waving their flags to and from school outside the school bus windows. I understand that they do this every day leading the world in daily peace celebrations of Life itself. I am always so impressed with the different ways people use the project. So far children, teachers and families from places around the world including Cyprus, USA, India, Spain, Germany, Costa Rica, U.K., Brazil, Canary Islands and Turkey are participating and contributing to the peace process through SashiFlag. It is also included in the International Celebration of Peace Flag Day in Central Park. It recently flew at a UN event around Manhattan Island. In the SashiFlag educational movement, schools are encouraged to invite parents to see the Peace Pattern created by their child. Families also are encouraged to share their most peaceful moments each day at the dinner table. Schools might be able to put these flags on the school flag pole connotating a time when peace and prosperity will be universal. Each community or school or family can create their own format. In sum The white flag is simply a reminder of humanity’s spiritual interconnectness. A reminder that each of us is born to realize the power and presence of our Divine nature in all our experiences. It is a universal peace symbol as well as a personal and collective peace process since 99. It began with a vision of a white flag flying next to every flag of diversity. It carries one central them that PEACE IS AN INSIDE JOB achievable through DIVERSE GIFTS REALIZE.

J: So, even the original SashiFlag that you designed keeps changing every year?

D: Yes, these are the personal symbols. There is no limit! Change is all we can count on as humanity liberates itself from material life. I believe it was Edgar Casey who said that only when the body is no longer a hindrance to the free expression of the soul, would the cycle of earth be finished. SashiFlag is here to serve that process during this century as is Human Design System.

J: What does peace mean to you?

D: Pictures can say it better than words for me, but to me it’s a feeling of the Divine, the Sacred, the Good, the Wholeness of Being- At One Ment- a state beyond thought, perfection. Flag poles are just the body that carries the spirit of liberation. It is clear to me we’re not going to get there until we have Justice, until the poverty is eradicated. But I have a feeling that the more we can feel inner spaciousness and abundant peace in our own hearts everyday, the more our light will shine on out of the box solutions to every problem we face as a collective. Lately, I have begun to imagine a HEART FORUM for the planet. SashiFlag is part of that image! I’m a big dreamer, as you can see.

DONNA WALKED WITH HER TWO GIFTED DOGS THROUGH CENTRAL PARK FOR MANY YEARS WHILE RECOVERING. HER YOGA FRIENDS CREATED HARNESSES FOR THE DOGS TO CARRY THEIR UNIVERSAL PEACE FLAGS. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL CARRIERS OF THE FLAG, LEADING THE WAY FOR HUMANITY TO AWAKEN TO TRUTH

J: It is such a fantastic legacy, and I do hope that people engage in the Peace ceremonies. It is so profound and so lovely, it is my hope that people hear about it and take it on as their own project, and it grows.

MATISSE, BORN ON MY LATE HUSBAND’S BIRTHDAY-GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT UPON HIS PASSING. HERE HE IS AT MT. SHASTA TWO WEEKS AFTER HE WAS RUN OVER BY THREE CARS IN CENTRAL PARK. HE WAS LITERALLY RESURRECTED THROUGH THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHIRST. HE NEVER WANTED HIS PICTURE TAKEN BUT THIS DAY HE INSISTED ON IT BEFORE WE LEFT MT. SHASTA FOR ARCADIA. I’M GLAD HE DID.
