The image on the cover is a flag design created by Adi Da specifically for the Global Cooperative Forum. He explains the significance of the flag as follows:

National flags represent the already presumed separateness of national identities. In contrast, the Global Cooperative Forum is represented by a single flag, consisting of the simple spectrum of colors on a white field.

The white field is a "tabula rasa" (or blank slate), symbolizing the absence of all the kinds of self-imagery by which human beings create differences between themselves and others. In addition, the plain white flag is a traditional sign of truce or surrender. The party waving the white flag is signalling that it does not want confrontation, and that it is not posing a threat.

The Global Cooperative Forum is not there to confront anyone. It relinquishs all confrontation and all war, and it upholds no self-imagery beyond the simple reality of being part of the totality of humankind.

The presence of the rainbow straight across the flag indicates that the Global Cooperative Forum is actually functioning as a global institution. The spectrum of color on the white fields symbolizes inclusiveness in every sense — all flags, all races, and all nations.

The "723" in the lower left corner stands for the date July 23, 2006. In his essay entitled "723" (Part Fourteen in this book), Adi Da comments on the unique and decisive significance of this date in global human history.
