# 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.

Each Circle of the Church of Kosmo maintains a symbolic flame unique to its purpose:
- **Origin:** Crimson-gold — the fire of creation.

### **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.”
