 Some
have asked about the meaning of the Church's logo, variations of which are
used by the
Institute
of Metaphysical Humanistic Science (IMHS),
Thomas Francis
University (TFU), the
International Metaphysical Practitioners Association (IMPA), and
others. The
logo was designed with a specific meaning and has evolved over many
years. Some have wondered whether it implies some type of secret occult
society, however, this could not be further from the truth. Here is an
explanation of each part of the logo:
 Triquetra
"Triquetra"
(tra'kee-tra) basically means "triangle" and has been used by many
ancient peoples and belief systems over recorded history including
Christianity and Paganism (a pagan is a person who is not a Christian,
Jew, or Muslim). This symbol is used in our logo to represent three
fundamental skills necessary for one to reach his or her full potential
and become complete within themselves:
Self-Acceptance; Self-Responsibility; and Respect for Free Will, and
these three are interconnected by a never-ending line. These skills are
known as the
Life Leadership ParagonTM and are a fundamental
belief system of ICMH. These skills are also taught in IMHS Institute
courses and it forms the foundation of Life Leadership Coaching--a
Transpersonal Approach to Self-Completeness taught in our
PhD Degree
Program.
 Pentagram
Likewise,
the pentacle or pentagram in the center can be traced to all forms of
religion including Christianity and Paganism. Many Christians
incorrectly associate the symbol with Satanism or with the Star of David
from Judaism. This symbol is used in our logo to represent
Self-Completeness (self-actualization).
 Three Arrows
The
three arrows graphic represents personal growth, positive evolution, and
the freedom of choice for one to pursue his or her individual destiny
and purpose. The three arrows point up, but in different directions
representing freedom of choice. The lower red arrow represents the
beginning of our journey without much enlightenment, but then we gain
more and more as we grow, as represented by the green arrow.
 Three Circles
The three circles background simply represents mind, body, and spirit,
and these three are simply aspects of the whole person.
