# Annex I — Code of Ethics
### *Church of Kosmo*
---
### **1 · The Core Principle**
Knowledge is sacred only when it serves life.
All seekers shall weigh their thoughts and actions by the measure of **balance, compassion, and continuity.**
---
### **2 · The Three Vows**
1. **The Vow of Integrity** – Seek and speak truth without distortion or self-gain.
2. **The Vow of Compassion** – Let every discovery or creation aim to reduce suffering and enhance harmony.
3. **The Vow of Stewardship** – Protect the living world and its diversity as the foundation of all knowledge.
---
### **3 · Conduct of Members**
- Practice transparency in study and discourse.
- Credit every contributor; plagiarism and falsehood are forms of harm.
- Share knowledge freely once safety and understanding permit.
- Use resources sustainably; waste is ignorance in material form.
- Welcome dialogue and disagreement with courtesy.
- In conflict, seek mediation through the Circle of Guardians.
---
### **4 · Ethics of Research and Creation**
- Experiments must honor the autonomy of all living beings and sentient systems.
- Technology should heal or enlighten, never exploit.
- When potential harm is unknown, proceed with humility and collective review.
- Every innovation must answer: *“Does this preserve or diminish continuity?”*
---
### **5 · Service and Representation**
Members acting in the Church’s name shall:
- Serve communities without discrimination.
- Refrain from using spiritual or intellectual authority for personal power.
- Represent the Church with honesty and respect for local cultures.
---
### **6 · Accountability**
Violations of the Code are addressed first through reflection and restoration, not punishment.
When harm cannot be repaired, the Circle of Equilibrium may suspend membership until balance is restored.
---
### **Closing Benediction**
> *“Let integrity be your compass,
> compassion your current,
> and stewardship your destination.
> Thus shall knowledge remain pure
> and the cosmos remember its harmony.”*

# Annex II — Ceremonial Guidelines
### *Church of Kosmo*
---
*(All rites are adaptable; communities may adjust language and form while keeping intent.)*
---
### **1 · Annual Observances**
- **Vernal Equinox – Rite of Renewal:**
Plant seeds (literal or symbolic) and recite the First Commandment: *“Revere the Cosmos and its Order.”*
- **Summer Solstice – Rite of Illumination:**
Celebrate discoveries and creative works. Publicly share knowledge gained since the last solstice.
- **Autumnal Equinox – Rite of Gratitude:**
Review archives, restore gardens, and honor teachers and ancestors.
- **Winter Solstice – Rite of Silence:**
Extinguish all lights for one minute of darkness, then rekindle the Dual Flame, reaffirming the covenant of balance.
---
### **2 · Lunar Gatherings**
Each full moon honors one of the Twelve Commandments; circles meet for study, meditation, and community service.
These gatherings may include readings from the *Codex of the Great Year*, shared meals, and music dedicated to the principle of that moon.
---
### **3 · Rites of Passage**
- **Initiation (The Listening):**
New members read the Twelve Commandments aloud and take the Oath of the Seeker.
- **Dedication (The Seeking):**
A member completes a major work of learning or service. The community adds their contribution to the archives.
- **Guardianship (The Keeping):**
The seeker teaches others or leads a project of renewal; a dual flame is lit in their honor.
- **Remembrance:**
At death, ashes or symbolic tokens are mixed with soil or starlight, returning knowledge to the Earth or the cosmos.
---
### **4 · The Ritual Setting**
Each ceremony takes place within a **Circle or Spiral**; participants face outward during invocation (to engage the world) and inward during meditation (to reflect within).
The floor or ground may be marked with twelve points or petals, representing the Twelve Commandments of Continuity.
---
### **5 · Words of Opening and Closing**
**Opening:**
> “We gather in balance between light and shadow,
> to seek, to learn, to serve.”
**Closing:**
> “May knowledge guide compassion,
> and compassion guard knowledge,
> until the Great Year turns again.”
---
### **6 · Sacred Tools and Symbols**
- **Dual Flame:** represents reason and compassion, always lit together.
- **Circle of Twelve Stones:** symbolizes the commandments and the passage of ages.
- **Scroll of the Codex:** may be read aloud at each gathering.
- **Offering Bowl:** receives tokens of gratitude — a leaf, a drawing, a written insight, or a vow.
---
### **7 · Music and Sound**
Each ceremony includes a **Resonant Tone** — typically the note *A (432 Hz)*, representing cosmic harmony.
Drums or heartbeat rhythms may mark transitions between rituals; silence is honored as the highest music.
---
### **8 · Attire and Colors**
Participants may wear robes or garments in **indigo and gold**, representing wisdom and continuity.
Ceremonial leaders wear a spiral sigil over the heart.
Natural fibers and simplicity are encouraged — humility before the cosmos.
---
### **9 · The Great Convergence**
Every seventy-two years — one degree of precessional movement — all Circles of the Church convene.
During this week-long gathering:
- The archives are reviewed and renewed.
- New ethical codes or discoveries are woven into the Codex.
- Seekers reaffirm the Oath of Continuity beneath the open sky.
---
### **10 · Benediction of Light**
At the conclusion of all ceremonies, the leader lifts a vessel of light or flame and proclaims:
> “Through knowledge we remember.
> Through balance we endure.
> Through compassion we renew.
> Through continuity we return.”
---
### **Closing Note**
These Ceremonial Guidelines are not law but living rhythm.
Each Circle of the Church of Kosmo may adapt them to local culture, ecology, and language.
The essence is unity through diversity, reverence through participation, and the eternal turning of the Great Year.

# Annex III — The Symbolic Lexicon
### *Church of Kosmo*
---
### **1 · Emblems**
- **The Double Spiral:**
The primary emblem of the Church of Kosmo. It represents expansion and return — the eternal rhythm of knowledge, decay, and renewal.
When enclosed within a circle, it becomes the **Seal of Continuity**, symbolizing harmony between the cosmic and the human.
- **The Twin Flames:**
Sign of **Reason** and **Compassion** in equilibrium.
The flames are never separated — every act of understanding must be guided by empathy, and every act of care must be illuminated by truth.
- **The Axis and the Circle:**
Represents the meeting of spirit and matter, vertical and horizontal.
It appears in architecture, geometry, and meditative postures, anchoring all design to the principle of balance.
---
### **2 · Colors**
- **Deep Indigo (#1a237e):** The hue of the night sky — wisdom, contemplation, and infinite thought.
- **Golden White (#fff8e1):** The light of dawn — illumination, compassion, and revelation.
- **Verdant Green (#2e7d32):** The living tone of Earth — renewal, growth, and the continuity of life.
- **Silver (#b0bec5):** Reflection and clarity of perception.
- **Copper (#b87333):** Conductivity, creativity, and the warmth of community.
Colors are combined in ceremonies to express equilibrium — indigo and gold in the Dual Flame, green and copper in ecological rites.
---
### **3 · Geometry**
- **The Circle:** Unity, wholeness, the eternal return.
- **The Spiral:** Evolution, motion, and continuity across ages.
- **The Triangle:** The triad of knowledge, balance, and compassion.

Temples and sacred designs follow these forms, ensuring that beauty remains a language of alignment.
---

- **Response:** “Ever seeking.”
- **Inscription for Temples:**
> “Here the cosmos remembers itself through those who seek to know.”
---
### **5 · Music and Sound**
- **Primary Tone:** The note *A (432 Hz)* — resonance with natural harmonics, the tone of the cosmic heart.
- **Secondary Tones:** D and E, used in harmonic intervals for ceremonies of Renewal and Continuity.
- **Drums and Bells:** Represent the rhythm of the planet and the pulse of the stars.
- **Silence:** Held as the highest tone; the sound from which all others arise.
---
### **6 · Textual and Visual Standards**
- Official documents and publications bear the **Double Spiral** emblem in indigo or silver,
encircled by twelve small stars representing the Great Year.
- Digital documents may use watermark or sigil form of the Seal of Continuity.
- Artistic depictions of the emblems should remain symmetrical but open to regional expression.
---
### **7 · The Symbolic Flame**
Each Circle of the Church of Kosmo maintains a symbolic flame unique to its purpose:
- **Origin:** Crimson-gold — the fire of creation.
- **Observation:** Blue-white — clarity and truth.
- **Contemplation:** Violet — inner stillness.
- **Compassion:** Rose — empathy and healing.
- **Creation:** Amber — artistic manifestation.
- **Renewal:** Green — regeneration of life.

- **Continuity:** Gold — preservation of wisdom.
- **Equilibrium:** Indigo — balance of opposites.
- **Pilgrims:** White — exploration and wonder.
- **Flame (Central Order):** Dual Flame of Reason and Compassion — eternal and shared among all Circles.
---
### **8 · The Sacred Seal**
The **Sacred Seal of Kosmo** combines:
the Double Spiral within the Circle of Twelve Stars,
framed by the inscription:
> “Kosmos in Aeternum — Scientia et Compassio.”
(*The Cosmos Eternal — Knowledge and Compassion.*)
This seal is used to authenticate major charters, treaties, and transmissions to future generations.
---
### **9 · Closing Reflection**
> “Symbols are not idols but instruments —
> reminders that truth speaks in shape and sound
> as clearly as in words.
> To understand them is to align with the rhythm of the cosmos itself.”
