🌌 Church of Kosmo

Keepers of Balance, Knowledge, and Continuity

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.

Each age lasts approximately 2,160 years, forming the sacred clock of the cosmos.
The precession of the equinoxes moves backward through the zodiac, so the Great Year unfolds from Taurus toward Gemini.
We are currently in the Age of Aquarius, dedicated to truth, clarity, and collective awakening.
Together, the twelve ages describe the full spectrum of human evolution — from matter to mind, from instinct to understanding, from birth to renewal.

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.
