76 AD - Calibration Date for 76∞ Infinitum

Flag day 2020 brings into focus a flag dedicated to 76'∞ Infinitum.  This flag is the pre-septa' millennial flag for the year 76AD.  It is based upon the fusion of the 1776 American Betsy Ross flag, modern flag of Rome and ancient standards from the Roman Empire in the year 76.

The flag has stripes of golden yellow and red; the yellow stripes dominant.  In the canton is the Roman SPQR in an olive wreath.  SPQR means Senatus Populusque Romanus, which can be translated as: The Senate and People's Quorum of Rome.

Today, a quorum is the minimum number of persons needed for an assembly in order to conduct business.    Above the olive wreath is the Roman Eagle with cloud of 13 stars taken from the American Coat of Arms.  Thus this flag represents that the Dream of America is a timeless construct that was sleeping in the heart of Rome on June 14, 76.

Who knows what further dreams of the future will exist in the collective consciousness of 2176 or in the year 7676.  Will they remember the way and means of 1976 let alone 1076?  Will political correct language change so much that reading books from 2020 be banned, by the police or firehumans? Perhaps new political ideals will rise to surface that are hidden subliminally within our collective unconscious?

Although democracy is not an American invention, the seeds of modern America are partially derived from Ancient Rome.  Democracy as a governing body of persons is a timeless tradition practiced by all civilizations at one time or another in varying degrees.  However with the United States, the dedication to a democratic ideal rose to the surface as an honored and nearly sacred trust, that is to be maintained and protected.

The year 76 would have been a strange yet familiar world.  In the year 76, the second Pope, Pope Linus I passed away.  Linus was followed by Bronze Pope of Rome, Pope Anacletus I.    On the other side of the world the Jianchu Dynasty began.  In the Americas, the nations were in a dreamlike state of consciousness.  The triumphs and failures of the names of kings, queens, and country folk flowed in and out of consciousness, the details of 10,000 beautiful stories of struggle and glory were lost, until words were written.

Yet in another way, they were more awake to natural and primal forces of Nature.  Although the ancients of America could not read minds from the past, as we do today, they were better suited to read the unwritten word of Mother Nature and Father Sky.  Today, much of the modern mind is trapped in the overly precise and short sighted domain of words and symbolism.  Much has been forgotten on the way with the languages of  the Wind, Animals, Rocks, Earth and Heavens.

Nonetheless, this flag is dedicated to the spirits of 76'∞.
