THE ASTRAL DOCTRINE
The holy texts, commandments, rituals, oaths, and all meanings behind the Primogram (Triad Symbol)
This section defines the spiritual and political backbone of Zurconite civilisation. It is what priests quote, what rulers enforce, what citizens chant, and what the Triad itself represents.
The Origin of the Doctrine
The Astral Doctrine is believed to have been dictated by the Universal Supreme Leader himself during the First Era of Illumination.
Zurconites believe he was the first conscious being birthed from the Cosmic Lumen, a metaphysical pulse at the centre of the galaxy. His authority is not political — it is existential.
The Doctrine was written in The Primograms: geometric, circular-line symbols (the same style as your Triad logo) that encode philosophy through shape rather than word.
The Triad Primogram – The Most Sacred Symbol
Meaning of Each Element
Top Circle
The Universal Supreme Leader
Represents:
• Origin
• Absolute authority
• The source of cosmic order
• The eternal first consciousness
Left Circle
Her Glorious Serene Benevolence, The Leader
Represents:
• Balance
• Harmony
• Emotional intelligence
• The stabilising force of Zurconite rule
Right Circle
His Glorious Divine Benevolence, The Leader
Represents:
• Action
• Judgement
• Will
• The projection of authority into the world
Vertical Bar
All Zurconites
Represents:
• The unified citizenry
• The body that supports the Triad
• The path all must walk
• The unbreakable connection between rulers and people
The Doctrine states:
“A ruler without the Bar commands nothing.
A Bar without the Circles knows nothing.”
Together, the Triad represents cosmic unity, hierarchy, and destiny.
The Three Core Books of the Astral Doctrine
Zurconite priests guard three holy volumes:
1. The Codex of Origin
Describes the birth of the Universal Supreme Leader, the creation of Zurconites, and the first Primograms.
2. The Book of Balance
Dedicated to Her Glorious Serene Benevolence.
Teaches emotional discipline, order, grace, and ceremonial conduct.
3. The Mandate of Action
Connected to His Glorious Divine Benevolence.
Teaches leadership, decision, sacrifice, and the burden of command.
Together, these books shape Zurconite society.
The Fourteen Astral Commandments
1. Obey the Triad above all.
2. The Primogram is never altered, rotated, or inverted.
3. No Zurconite raises a hand to a member of the Triad.
4. Ceremonies must be observed at every cycle.
5. Knowledge flows downward: from the Triad to the people.
6. Service is honour. Honesty is survival.
7. Emotion must be mastered, not displayed.
8. The cosmic path is singular; deviation is decay.
9. The past is the foundation; the future is the mandate.
10. Technology must serve the Triad’s will.
11. Disputes are settled through Primogramic Judgement (ritual logic).
12. Unity is mandatory. Division is treason.
13. The Triad’s presence sanctifies any ground.
14. When the Supreme Leader speaks, the doctrine reshapes itself.
Commandment 14 is the reason the father’s return is so destabilising.
Rituals and Ceremonies
The Alignment Ritual
Performed by priests daily. Three geometric gestures made with the hands to align with each Circle.
The Bar Oath
Citizens stand upright, arms straight by their sides, representing the vertical bar.
They speak:
“I stand within the Bar.
The Bar stands within the Triad.
The Triad stands above all.”
The Circles’ Ascendance
A rare ceremony conducted when Triad rulers appear in public.
Three concentric tones are played — one for each Circle — resonating in perfect harmony.
Primogramic Judgement
Legal disputes resolved by using symbolic geometry rather than verbal argument. Priests interpret line-and-circle arrangements as verdicts.
The Doctrine in Conflict — The Return Crisis
When the Universal Supreme Leader returns, the Doctrine’s rigidity becomes dangerous.
For centuries, priests updated the Doctrine to justify the younger rulers’ reign.
But Commandment 14 looms:
“When the Supreme Leader speaks, the doctrine reshapes itself.”
This means:
• His word overrides the newer interpretations.
• The priests fear losing power.
• The generals fear coups.
• The citizens fear chaos.
This doctrinal tension becomes the backbone for future political struggle.
