See Fire but I have also seen cult stuff associated with “flame” in the sort of “keeper of the flame” type vibe. I feel like I have heard about “ancient flames” and when I search I turn up results about Greek fire which was basically a secret weapon kind of like the old version of napalm. If we go along with the western world and the current system of white supremacy being based on society that started in ancient Greece, this would check out. Also the flame in Plato’s “cave allegory”.
So people talking about keeping the flame could be talking about maintaining the current system.
Could be someone you used to care about. I.e. an old flame
