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.
  • The Twelve-Point Star: The Twelve Commandments and the Twelve Circles of the Church.
  • The Axis and Cross: The joining of temporal and eternal, grounding and transcendence.

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


4 · Motto and Inscriptions

  • Motto: Per Scientiam, Per Aequilibrium, Per Continuum — “Through Knowledge, Through Balance, Through Continuity.”
  • Common Greeting: “In balance and wonder.”
  • 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.
  • Guardians: Silver — integrity and vigilance.
  • Communication: Cyan — understanding and dialogue.
  • 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.”
