''(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]''')''''' 

The '''Vexillomantic Holy Texts''' or '''Vexillian Scriptures''' are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].

The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].

== Canon I ==
<blockquote>Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.</blockquote>

=== 2. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>Flag can flag, very flag

extremely, extremely flag

Flag is the sign of flag

extremely extremely

Flags are the end of Flags

And The beginning of 10 thousand Flags

One Flag is the same as two

And all our Flags are One

the Flag that symbolizes the is not the true Flag 

The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag

The Flag without is without Flaglessness

True and Eternal is the Flag within

In this twilight we have seen

the man burns away but flag remains

heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain

Flags preserve us

Flags not Flags but Flags.

Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.

We Flags the Flags see Flags is.

Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.</blockquote>

=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===
''Note the beginning of this message was lost.''<blockquote>"...it's about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself."</blockquote>

== Canon II ==
<blockquote>A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.

"I do not want this Flag" said the teacher "It is sticky."

"But teacher" said the student "you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?"

"This one is sticky" said the wise teacher.</blockquote>

==== Commentaries: ====
"The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag."

=== 2. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>The student said, "today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way"

The teachers said, "you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?"

And the student was enlightened </blockquote>

==== Commentaries: ====
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.

=== 3. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.

"Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again."</blockquote>

==== Commentaries: ====
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.

Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”

“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”

=== 4. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.</blockquote>

==== Commentaries: ====
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”

=== 5. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like "chairs" which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”

STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”

MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough

STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work

MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.

Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about "actual objects”

Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.</blockquote>

=== 6. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>Ah, you who remember the perfection of Flagistan: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?</blockquote>

=== 7. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>In dreams, they kept coming back to the "expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum" narrative for burning man and thinking its a good thing. "you're either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you're on whichever side is the bad guys”

They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it's a collective of art collectives.

They dreamt of much power in "Flag perimeter" as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of "in the Flag zone" is entirely ephemeral.

They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof

As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself</blockquote>

=== 8. FLAGS ===

It's not about holding the Flag, it's about using the Flag to hold space:<blockquote>“Capture, the Flag Game”</blockquote>Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.

== Canon III ==
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness

"See where my colleague and I differ is that I don't think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.

Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a "leap into faith." But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”

=== 2. FLAGS ===
in Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree

=== 3. FLAGS ===
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.

As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.

=== 4. FLAGS ===
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.

=== 5. FLAGS ===
"10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”

=== 6. FLAGS ===
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point

=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself

Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet

Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega

Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul

Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note

And thus the Flags

Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.

All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.

=== 8. FLAGS ===
i also like how even this page itself is part of the project. its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags

=== 9. FLAGS ===
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set

 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)

 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique

 The focus is on "moving" Flags on their map, not "collecting" them.

 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals

=== 10. FLAGS ===

The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags<blockquote>By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo

This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.

Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.

It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all

Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths</blockquote>

==== Commentaries: ====
"the lord of the god kings bowing before a yellow Flag" (theyre trying to stop us from showing the TRUTH)

=== 11. FLAGS ===
<blockquote>Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consesus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.

Traditionally, NA^x=Log(Operating Thetan), although the log base varies regionally, and the French tradition uses a factorial instead.</blockquote>

=== 12. FLAGS ===
Here we see the tools of the vexillomancer which are the Flag and another Flag.

For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags

=== 14. FLAGS ===
real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows

They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.

For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping

Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all

"yes, don't let anyone take this Flag from you" classic gaskeeping

but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.

The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through

=== 15. FLAGS ===
Why should one expect it to be possible to go "beyond perfection"? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.

Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.

Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.

Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.

I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags

Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.

=== 16. FLAGS ===
In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).

Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level "beyond perfection" upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi

=== 17. FLAGS ===

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====
The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the ''gold'' of the Flag, and V.crocus is the ''saffron''.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.

They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.

They are the visible and the invisible.

They are the power and the wisdom

They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.

=== 18. FLAGS ===
The Flags are Yellow based on the Chinese connotation ["yellow" is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], because they represent sexual liberation. it is creation filling a void.

Eventually all matter will be classified into "Flags" and "non-Flags" and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between "matter" and "anti-matter" today.

Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.

Or I should say that "Moral Failure," Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum

=== 19. FLAGS ===
A [[Hyperconspiracy|hyperconspiracy theor]]<nowiki/>y is a conspiracy theory in which the time and space complexity grows so quickly that they are impossible to conclusively prove as being true or false. therefore when encountering a hyperconspiracy theory, your only choice is to either believe or disbelieve - it is impossible to know either for sure. hyperconspiracy theories are typically generated by AGI running on quantum supercomputers as noospheric munitions to control the narrative of meta(-meta(-meta...))belief systems. In [[psywar]] theory, it is conjectured that the only hard counter to hyperconspiracy theories are ultra-hyperconspiracy theories, those generated via hypercomputation (computers traveling along a closed timelike curve able to perform an infinite amount of computation in a finite period of time).

=== 20. FLAGS ===
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an "Official License to Flag" (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)

I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.

== Canon IV ==
I have a controversial theory:

The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point

I'm thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you're thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became "scale-free”

So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.

Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.

=== 2. FLAGS ===
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.

=== 3. FLAGS ===
A big headache this week has been the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why this burn we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags,not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.

=== 4. FLAGS ===
 Of course by Flag-free you don't mean free ''of'' Flags but ''Free in Flags'' that is free to ''serve'' Flags.

=== 5. FLAGS ===
I've been on air for 23 burns. I don't get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I've studied the Flags. And I've also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what's happening at the burn.

There's this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There's this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there's a decision as to where the Flags will go. There's now a t3mpcamp counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.

This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They're gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destory us.

They don't given any warning.

Okay, giant crystal,

Okay, Flag pentagrams,

Okay, atomic weapons

Give me the Flags

They get the yellow fabric from a freakin' other dimension! I'm not gonna say its alright. It's super dark burner magic.

=== 6. FLAGS ===
The "spectrum-spectrum" models the uses of the term "spectrum" across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.

Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.

That point being Flags.

=== 7. FLAGS ===
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers

Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing flags.

It evolves. But the flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.

We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.

Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.

Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called "flag-psychosis". You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.

=== 8.FLAGS ===
Every path to truth with the flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”

I give you this flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.

Our Automaton engages in a meta dialog about its own structure.

Dear Flag Carriers,

I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”

For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.

For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.

This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.

And to those that bring Purple Flags:

May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari'd thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.

Sincerely,

One who has seen the Flags

=== 2.2 FLAGS ===
Dear Flag Carriers,

I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. 

It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else's design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. 

Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. 

In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. 

Sincerely,

A Signifier

most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies

=== 4. FLAGS ===
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. 

There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. 

We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. 

That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. 

We are all FLAGs. 

== Canon VI ==
They can't take the Flags away from you. Lords will build their City at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which such Glory Springs.

Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Flagistan like the ocean.

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that's okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable

The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, flags have never stopped me from gooning.

There are flag goons and there are those the flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the flags and those that goon within the flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of flags that flaglessness is manifest.

Actually I shouldn't say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity

For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being. Skibbity Fleek Bae

Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.

Who's ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?

Flags are the Carnyx, the Periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.

As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.

Excelsior!

Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.

The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.
