It's really far-fetched, haha. First I thought about how in Taoist alchemy the lower energy center is the kidneys, the middle energy center is the heart and the top is the head. And if one makes a simplified symbol with the spine as a line, and two lines from the heart to the kidneys it looks like the peace symbol without a circle around it.
And when I looked it up on the internet I found the two runes for death and life, and it reminded me of how the Christian cross is like something between those two runes. And then I made a few dot connections with kundalini and the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.
As a next step I'm thinking of how to connect that simple symbolism with what Ra said about electric fields and making our compasses point in one direction.
Not only are there similarities between the Cross and the Rune. Consider the Anke of ancient Egypt? It too is a symbol of eternity. I watched, (yet), another video on YouTube that put forward the speculation that the Crossnothing more than the continuation of the ancient Egyptian myths. Or, the Bible is totally misunderstood because its origins remain mysterious, because it is the retelling of ancient myths from Sumeria. Most of the Old Testament is the retelling of old stories. The point being, the original Cross is the Anke. The "Holy Roman Church", (used loosely), created a "Hollywood" version of Sumerian myths. Proclaiming they were the original, (a lie).
I came across the ankh symbol when I looked for the peace symbol similarities but I skipped it because it didn't look like what I had in mind. I'm sure there is very significant symbolism related to the ankh. And the Christian cross may very well be related to the ankh as you say.
There can sometimes be multiple meanings related to esoteric symbols. One other idea I have is that the Christian cross also represents the two pillar symbolism being crossed / joined. There is also the double-cross symbolism. One new guess I have is that the pillars represent two separate "timelines" on earth. And that the double-cross represents one cross for each timeline.
There are too many mysteries, and not enough answers. The God(s), they have been taunting us. I like your analogy and the Ankh, (I thought my spelling was incorrect)? Christianity is the "Great Deceiver", and many have fallen for their misdeeds and lies. Although the same is true in every Religion. Then it is at the point where we separate "Religion" from "Spirituality", because they are two different entities. I also have the belief, that although there is a separation of Religions, and a diverse philosophical interpretation, there is an underlying truth, (that few people ever see), and once we have found that truth, the "Law of One" emerges from the mists. Don't read the lines, (but), between the lines. Not only are there similarities, there are also parallel beliefs. Except it is denied in Philosophical Warfare between the Religions. I once had a friend who I discovered later was a "Reverend", and in his rush to convert me, he let it slip-out that once he had read the Koran. I questioned what he said. So, I asked him if he didn't learn anything. Naturally, he said no. Then I confronted him with the fact that both Christianity and Islam have the same roots, and are both are from the same Middle Eastern Tribes. Both Religions share the same ancestors. Meanwhile, both Religions deny each other as false, when in fact they are bedfellows. Cousins, and with the sole ambition to convert each other, to save the "Infidels" from Hell.
