Flag for persons of mixed faiths from Scientology and the Moonie, Unification Church

The 20th century saw two new religions come into being from opposite ends of the Earth in 1954. The Church of Scientology was established as a religion in California in 1954. And across the world on May 1, 1954 the Moonie Church was established in South Korea. These religions were the last to from, before the Dawn of the Space Age.

This flag is for persons who have one parent born into Scientology and another born out the Unification Church, or some factor of this match. Coincidentally both religions were founded after the 'end' of the Korean War in 1953.

The founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was originally born out of the American Christian tradition, while Sun Myung Moon came from the old Korean tradition, which is mostly a fusion of Buddhist and Confucian teachings with a heavy emphasis on firm and heavily structured Confucian familial ideas. This flag links distant preachers born from opposite ended cultures from Nebraska to North Korea

Of Yin and Yang, the founder of Scientology was exposed to the religions in East Asia. Coincidentally notions of reincarnation were adopted as core beliefs within Scientology. Coming from the other direction, Moon was able to take Christian teachings and reincorporate it into a new vision adding additional sacred scripture. The Newest Testament built upon the Bible is known as The Divine Principle. Likewise the writings of Hubbard are prolific but a key document to spiritual enlightenment was made apparent with his fantastic work, Dianetics.

Establishing a new religion may seem like a hard thing to do it, and it really is. However Scientology and the Unification Church have passed their 60th year anniversary and met the challenges that arise with any new approach to life. They have passed beyond the heated and passionate Crucible of Doubt that many new religions face, blossoming into new fragrant faiths while challenging the status quo. Scientology and the Unification Church are natural clashes unto harmony of teachings from the West and East, or rather East to West? The Moonie path and Scientology faith are watermarks of religions that echo the strange and changing times of the 1900s, as the peoples of the Earth sought to make it a better place for one and all.

Flag for persons of mixed Baha'i and Mormon Faiths

The colours of the flag include a basic rainbow pallet of red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, navy blue, purple, and white. The beehive is an icon related to Mormonism while the seven pointed star is reflective of the Baha'i faith. The green disc with the indigo circle represents the Earth, as these two religions were awoken when the world was fully aware of itself as a global civilization, likewise both paths offer 'updated' teachings and advocate a call to recognize foreign nations not as enemies or aliens, but rather as family. This flag is for those very rare persons who have one ancestor from the Baha'i tradition and another from the Mormon tradition.

The Baha'i and Mormon faiths are relatively new voices to grant access to the divine. Like Yin and Yang, these two gateways to the Holy Temple opened at nearly the same time frame on opposite hemispheres of the Earth in the middle of the 1800s. Interestingly these two congregations were last to arise before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species. Note, the Mormon faith emerged out of the Protestant American teachings set forth in the Holy Bible, while the Baha'i faith sprouted forth out of the Shiite Iranian tenets set forth from the Sacred Koran.

Both the Mormon and Baha'i hold the year 1844 as christened with special kind of karma. In the Baha'i faith an Iranian by the name of Siyyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi became a paramount spiritual leader as the Bab, who was later executed for adding new law to the dominant Iranian faith. Across the world in the America in the very same year, 1844, the founder of Mormonism, Joesph Smith, was martyred by a violet mob in Carthage, Illinois for his non-traditional views of Christianity and family structure. After the execution of the Bab and Joseph Smith two venerated leaders would arise to lead and build a sturdy foundation for the Baha'i and Mormon movements. Out of the Christian tradition came Brigham Young from Vermont; and out of the Islamic tradition came Mirza Husayn-Ali Nuri, better known as Bah'au'llah.

Hindu-Buddheic Flag or Flag of Mixed Hindu and Buddhist Marriages

The flag for persons with a real, ethnic and religious connection to both Hinduism and Buddhism uses the colours red, orange, yellow, blue, and white. On the left hoist side on a filed of orange is the meditative ohmm symbol, which looks like a number three with a tail and an 'upside down' fermata symbol. A hidden fermata symbol within the Ohm is quite an amazing coincidence as it is a musical symbol that means A Grand Pause. Likewise correct meditation or prayer of the Ohmmmm or AUM leads to a grand pause of the 'ego' and return to the highest 'reality-truth-divine' root of spirit.

In a way the Hindu-Buddheic tradition is a match to the Judeo-Christian term, since the original Jesus was a Jewish and the original Buddha was Hindu.

The nations with a large population of mixed Hindu-Buddhist marriages include Nepal and India. However there is a growing number in Canada and the United States, especially in British Columbia and New York City.

Flag Chart for Canaidan born outside of Canada

Some Canadians were not born in Canada. Several thousand Canadians where were born abroad when there Canadian parents were living in foreign nations. Likewise many immigrants to Canada can use the flag that fits their national origins. But note laws of closest to the continent apply. So Canadians born in Trinidad & Tabago, Barbados, and Puerto Rico should use the South America Canadian born abroad flag since these islands are closest to South America, than North America.

These flags can be used by immigrants who become naturalized Canadian citizens.

Flag for Canadians of Unknown Birth Origins

The flag for Canadians born in an unknown location conserves the Canadian colours of red and white. The flag is a six checkered field of red and white, with the counter of colours for the Canadian Maple Leaf.
