Raise symbol and Dazzling Flash interaction

[The Total Package]

The focus power Dazzling Flash says "You raise your religious symbol" and the effect goes off on your enemies, now let's say your religious symbol is your shield and you have the class feat "Raise Symbol" would you also gain the benefits of Raise Symbol in this situation?

No, I would consider those to be two separate actions. Mostly because they both have their own action costs.

Narratively, 'raise your religious symbol' in Dazzling Flash is similar to, but a different action than raising your religious symbol for Raise Symbol. Think of it more as an expenditure of power rather than the resulting physical location of the symbol.

It is similar to the rules for triggers and reactions - that you can only use one reaction in response to the same trigger. You also only get one effect for the action of raising your Symbol.
