It denotes the “whirlwind of creation” out from the central point; “The One” or God from which all things exist. “Omnificent—Unlimited in Creative Power Omnipresent—In All Places at All Times Omnifarious—Of All Varieties, Forms, or Kinds Omnipotent—Possessing Unlimited Force Omniscient—Having Infinite Awareness” I guess Adolph Hitler had a God complex. He took a loving symbol used for thousands of years and turned it into a symbol of fear. Symbols in and of themselves have no power. The power comes from our conscious relationship with the symbol. If we give one man the power of evil in the form of fear because of a symbol then we make it so. But if we give love to represent the symbol and realize that no single person can represent it but only the totality of all that is then we take the power away from a delusional man. When I see white supremacist and other hate groups using this symbol I just see scared cowards full of fear or lost brothers and sisters and pray for their return to humanity.
