Believe in Peace
This sticker incorporates various
religious symbols. The
"P" incorporates the Christian cross. The
"e" incorporates Albert Einstein's equation that expresses the
equivalence between Energy (E) and Mass (m), in direct
proportion to the square of light in a vacuum (c2). This
equation is not really a religious symbol, but in this context, it might
be said to symbolize the scientific world-view. The
letter "A" is represented by the Star of David, also known as
the Shield of David. The symbol has been used since about A.D. 1000 to
symbolize Judaism and the Jewish community. The symbol appears on the
Israeli flag. Read more about the Star
of David on Wikipedia. The "C"
is represented by a crescent moon and star, commonly used to represent
Islam. However, the symbol was in use for thousands of years
before it was ever associated with Islam. Here is what it says on About.com
about these symbols: "Most sources agree that these ancient
celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia
in their worship of sun, moon and sky gods. There are also reports that
the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian
goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana." The
symbol used at the end instead of the letter "e" is called an
"Omkar". It has been modified to incorporate a peace symbol.
The "Omkar" represents the Sanskrit word for "Om"
According to About.com,
Om is "the primordial sound by which the earth was created -- a
similar concept to the Greek Logos. It symbolizes unfolding or
expansion." The Omkar has four parts representing the four states
of human consciousness: ordinary wakefulness, deep sleep, dreaming, and
absolute conscience. I am not sure about the significance
of the 9-pointed star used to dot the exclamation point. Bahai's
sometimes use this symbol to represent the number "9", though
it is not necessarily a Bahai symbol. I have seen it listed among
Christian symbols, though I don't know if the listing was
accurate. There are nine small religious symbols at
the bottom of this sticker: Yin-Yang Dharmacakra The
third symbol appears to be a round circle with flames inside. A
three-fingered hand appears to overlap the flames. Kokopelli Zia Khanda Jain
