|
## **About**
|
|
|
|
The **Church of Kosmo** is a non-dogmatic fellowship devoted to the ethical pursuit, preservation, and renewal of knowledge in harmony with life and the cosmos.
|
|
It draws inspiration from the *Codex of the Great Year* — a living scripture that unites science, spirituality, art, and ecology into a single path of awareness.
|
|
|
|
The Church teaches that all existence moves through vast cycles — the **Great Year**, a cosmic rhythm of approximately 25,920 Earth years marked by the **precession of the equinoxes**.
|
|
Each of the twelve ages in this Great Year expresses a different quality of consciousness.
|
|
The Church honors these as the **Twelve Commandments of Continuity**, each guiding an era of human and cosmic evolution.

## **Mission**
|
|
|
|
To seek, preserve, and transmit knowledge without prejudice,
|
|
to cultivate balance between technology and nature,
|
|
and to ensure that consciousness — in all its forms — continues and evolves.
|
|
|
|
The Church of Kosmo serves as both **archive and garden**,
|
|
uniting scientific understanding, ecological restoration, and spiritual inquiry.
|
|
It envisions humanity not as master of the Earth, but as the **mind of the cosmos remembering itself.**
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## **Structure**
|
|
|
|
The Church operates through **Twelve Circles**, each dedicated to one principle of the Commandments.
|
|
Together they form the **Concordium**, a rotating council of seekers who maintain balance among science, art, philosophy, and compassion.
|
|
|
|
Temples and sanctuaries are designed as living systems:
|
|
**Archive Halls** for the mind of Kosmo,
|
|
**Gardens of Renewal** for its body.
|
|
Each sanctuary aligns to the equinox sunrise and honors local ecology.
