The Heart at the center of the keys represents the balance that occurs when feeling and mind are balanced by the Heart of Compassion.

The Sword represents the sword of Truth and the Truth that reveals itself when one's feelings and thoughts are balanced by the Heart of Compassion.


The Dove represents the Holy Spirit. When the Heart and Mind are balanced by love and compassion we are able to receive spiritual wisdom from the Holy Spirit.


The Red Rose is a Mystical Symbol representing the unfoldment of the Soul in Love, Wisdom, and Compassion.

The blue oval shape against the gold background containing the symbols represents the Auric field of the being who walks in the consciousness of God (blue) who has attained the qualities represented by the symbols.

All is transformed in the radiant Golden Light of a Being who has attained the Compassion (the red line) of the Christ. That being walks in the Light and Love of the Christ (gold) and radiates the Light and Love of the Christ into the world.
