The Heterosexual Cis-Gender Flag is made up of three colours: blue, pink, and white. Blue represents the dominant male aspect while pink represents the recessive feminine aspect, like Yin and Yang. White represents the separation and divine purity of love between a man and woman. White also represents the potential of their love to generate new varieties of life as white light holds all the colours of the spectrum within itself.
Blue is dominant to reflect the nature of male dominance as found in many types of organisms. Although the pink-female component takes up less space, it retains the central honor point. Further, the feminine aspect shows a different kind of power—it is unbroken and conveys unity and strength. This flag echoes the sexual dimorphic nature of men and women.
Thus this flag recognizes that both cis-males and cis-females have a different powers over the other, yet are united harmoniously to make a whole. For it is with the union of male and female, new life can be created. It is a sacred trust; as taking life or making life should be done with proper respect and care.
Note that, in the original "gay/happy pride flag" pink was associated with sex and cyan/turquoise was associated with magic/art. Likewise, when a man and women engage in the reproductive process, they create the finest kind of magic by opening the door to the other side—to the realm of unborn souls. Although scientists may understand the biological process of sex in extreme detail, it is truly a kind of miracle beyond our complete understanding. Like magic, new people appear from the heterosexual process. This organic aspect of love between man and woman is honored with this flag.
Male dominance by size, behavior, and social order occurs in many types of mammalian species. For example sea lions, lions, gorillas, deer, dogs, cats, and most monkeys—it is the male half that dominates the female with behavior and physicality. This may seem like the dominant nature of things but there are numerous examples where the female half dominates, the bonobo and hyena being clear examples. In those cases where the woman or the female species dominates by size,
behavior, and social rank—the colours are reversed; the middle X is blue
and the outer four wings are pink.
But times and standard gender roles are changing, or rather expanding. On rare occasions you will find taller and more economically successful women who choose shorter, less economically dominant men—an extremely rare event. For the vast majority of heterosexual couples, the man is more economically dominant and a few inches taller.
This Heterosexual Pride flag is extracted from Gilbert Baker's original Gay Pride flag and in support. The pink and light blue colours honor Gilbert Baker's original Gay Pride flag which had pink and cyan—which now finds a home in the Straight Pride flag.
Finally, X indeed marks the spot since both men and women have X chromosomes. The pink X also adds an extra honor to womanhood. If you forgot, women have two Xs while men only have one X chromosome. Instead of two Xs, men have a Y chromosome which is smaller and deficient—because life can not be sustained on a single male chromosome alone; a female X chromosome must be present. Thus all gender identities are united by the feminine X chromosome. After all, women are the final gatekeepers who open and allow new souls to enter this universe.
If you are a native speaker of English then you have to watch this video about Anglish. Anglish is something less popular than Esperanto, yet it exists as a fun language like Klingon. In this case, Anglish is a modern day recovery English language that asserts its Germanic roots by resurrecting all the Old English and Germanic root words with modern day English, excising Latin and Romance influences.
The flag of Anglish is composed of the English red cross with a white canton. in the other areas are Germany's colours.
When your mother speak is English, then you must see this video about Anglish. Anglish has smaller knowing than Esperanto. Yet it is being like the speaking of Klingon from Star Trek. In this way, Anglish is the come back English speaking, that ups its Germanic Roots and Old English words but keeping common speak English, minus Latin and Romance words.
So what are the ancient elements? Half the world includes Earth, Air, Fire, & Water while the other half thinks about Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood. It all depends on which culture you grew up in. But since the world is basically one big city, it's time to make sense and harmonize the Eastern and Western ways of looking at the ancient elements, with a modern take.
Basically, the cultures that follow Western-Roman Astrology use four elements, while cultures that follow Eastern-Chinese Astrology came up with five elements. Both the Eastern and Western Zodiacs overlap by three original elements: Fire, Water, and Earth. The difference is that East has a category for Metal and Wood, which the West does not. Yet, the West has a category for Air, while the East does not.
One theory is that the Western Mind knew that matter could exist in different forms: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Thus in a way, the early Western model of elements had a rudimentary understanding of the different states of matter. To match it up: solid-Earth, liquid-Water, gas-Air, plasma-Fire.
Likewise in the East, another rudimentary aspect about matter was understood. Ancient Chinese thinkers figured that matter could be categorized as metallic or non-metallic with their Wood and Metal classifications. Wood is mostly made up of non-metallic matter like: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and such. While the vast majority of other atoms are metallic. There is even a few that straddle the line like Silicon and Selenium being 'Trans" so to speak, a mix of being both metal and organic.
But his post is about the Ancient Element of Metal. The modern Elemental Metal flag is a vertical tri-bar of buff, dark gray, and light grey.
The Metal Elemental covers the vast range of personal identity traits. Unlike Wood traits that are organic, Metal working is an active pursuit that puts a person in a certain Tribal affiliation.
Here are just a few example of Metal Tribal Traits: musical interest, food interest, tattoos, jobs, internet/cell phone carriers, pet preference (Cat Tribe, Dog Tribe), intoxicant preference (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis), sports interest, automobile type, hair style, social clique, gang, military experience, pop-culture interests, games to play, Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, marital status, Frat/Sorority, secret society, and many more of personal choice.
Perhaps the most popular type of Metal flags belongs to professional athletic clubs: soccer, football, and baseball.

But his post is about the Ancient Element of Earth, in particular its newly branded flag that should convey the idea of Earth. The Elemental Earth flag is a horizontal tri-bar of burgundy, brown, and yellow.
In the modern sense, the Earth Elements represents the ethnic composition of an individual. The direct ethnic blood line is your Earth Elemental. Like solid earth, you Earth Elemental can not change. If you are born Irish you will die Irish.
Yet there can be a separation between an Earth Elemental via Water and Fire. Suppose an Irish-Canadian and Irish-American meet up. They may have very similar manners yet their belong to different Fire Tribes and it could lead to friction if one is not careful. Likewise an ethnically Chinese person adopted to English speaking people in Canada will always be of the Chinese Earth Elemental by appearance, but her Water Elemental will be English with a Canadian accent, and her Fire Elemental will rage with Canadian Pride; meaning she will have a natural proclivity to undercut her 'obnoxious' neighbors south of the border.
It is interesting to note that Tommy Chong, of Cheech & Chong, has two Earth Tribal Elements. Mr. Chong belongs to the Earth Tribes of China and Ireland. His mother was Irish-Canadian and father was Chinese-Canadian. Thus his Water Tribe is English and his Fire Tribe is Canada. For the record, Cheech's Fire Tribe is the USA since he was born in California. But Cheech's Earth Tribe is Mexico.
I suppose this means that Tommy Chong has Irish-Earth Bending and Chinese-Earth Bending abilities; Earth Bending as taken from the animated Avatar television series. Memba' dat?
So what's your Earth Tribe, or Earth Tribes? Remember do not to confuse it with language or political nationality.

But this post is about the Ancient Element of Wood. The modern flag for the Wood Elemental is a vertical tri-bar of green, brown, and buff.
Since Wood is composed of Organic Atomic Elements, it represents the vast multitude of personal identity traits that express themselves naturally independent of religion, ethnic, nation, or language. For example being left or right handed falls under the Wooden Elemental framework. Also, being a twin, albino, dwarf, or super tall are Wooden Identities.
Nearly all genetic/congenital conditions are Wooden Identities. Sexuality is also a Wooden trait, although a small minority disagrees. Here is laundry list of Wooden identities: Zodiac Sign (Eastern & Western), where you were born, ability to see or not see colour, any kind of food/medicine allergy, atypical sex chromosomal orders, and left or right eye dominance is another Wooden aspect. Currently, one of the most intense and noticeable foci of their Wood Elemental is sexual and gender identity.
Thus all persons who are Albino are united under Wooden Albino Tribe banner in a similar manner to a group of people who share the same religion, language, or nationality. Usually when Albinos meet other Albinos of different races and political sections, they instantly have a connection that others outside the Albino Tribe will never ever understand, the same goes for people of certain genetic conditions like being a dwarf.
In a way Wood unites peoples across borders, different faiths, blood lines, and languages. The Gay Pride Flag is perhaps the most known flag of a Wooden nature.

But his post is about the Ancient Element of Air. The description was important to the West and overlooked by the East.
The modern Air Elemental flag is for both the East and West—and for the North and South for that matter, plus the Up and Down. The flag is a vertical tri-bar of blue, cyan and white. The colours represent the essential colours of the sky during the day.
The modern elemental meaning is associated with ones religion or spirituality, including atheists too. A more general term to include religion and Atheism would be a Meaning of Life Organization. Basically, when you meet another person who shares your outlook for the meaning of life, by believing in the similar words of particular book (Torah, Koran, Bible, L. Ron Hubbard, Book of Mormon, Ayn Rand, Marx, Darwin) or certain manners for meditation and prayer, your spirit should feel free to breathe. People of a similar spirit Air-Tribe to you own, are like a breath of Fresh Air!
Finally, Air takes up all the spaces available beyond liquid and solid, that fills the void and seems to be everywhere. Air is where we connect with the heavens and stars, but you must also remember it is Air that connects us to the Earth, Water is always flowing in and out of our bodies, and Air is the perpetual element of life, through breath. Thus Air makes a good analogy for one's Spirit Tribe.
Isn't it odd how the East/China missed out on ancient Elemental Concept of Air?

But this post is about the Ancient Element of Water, in particular its newly branded flag that should convey the idea of Water. The Elemental Water flag is a veritical tri-bar of cyan, dark blue, and green.
The modern Water Elemental flag represents one huge aspect of personal identity. Namely the language that you naturally speak is your Water Tribe. We all have a native maternal Water Tribe. Although people may be a different heritages, nationalities, and religions. As long as another speaks your mother tongue you can instantly exchange ideas with sound waves.
Language learning fits the water model because water takes the shape a whatever glass it is poured into, or grow up in. If you were black or white and grew up in China with a Chinese family, you'd speak perfect Chinese with regional accent and all—to the shock of many Chinese people.
This was similar situation in the US and Canada some 50 years ago. If you were not white or black, and had an East Asian phenotype, you would receive compliments on your ability to speak English, even if you were born and bred in Canada or the US. Even today, some parts of the US will be astonished by Asian people who speak standard English. But the reverse is true (for now) for black and white people who grow up in East Asia.
When learning a language, you essentially learn to sail in a particular ocean. It takes time an practice. Learning a few words means you can paddle around in a linguistic kiddie pool, but you will need native speaker help, to get things done, otherwise you may drown in an alien culture. But as you get better with different languages you can get to the doggie paddle stage. Eventually with practice and striving you will be able to swim and navigate advanced depths of an alien linguistic ocean.
