Creation Template

A Creation Template is a foundational, transhistorical framework that provides the cosmological, ontological, and existential structure within which human identity, purpose, and social order are defined. It encodes core assumptions about reality, the nature of humanity, the meaning of existence, and the organization of power and value in the universe.

Creation Templates operate at the level of worldview infrastructure, shaping the metaphysical boundaries of what is possible, acceptable, and meaningful in a given society.

Theoretical and Conceptual Distinction

Although both Creation Templates and Master Narratives are transhistorical and aimed at directing human thought and behavior, they serve **different theoretical functions** and operate at **different levels of abstraction**:

Theoretical Distinctions Between Creation Templates and Master Narratives
Creation Template Master Narrative
**Structural / Ontological**: Provides a cosmological or metaphysical framework explaining existence, human purpose, and the design of reality. **Narrative / Ideological**: Provides a social-historical storyline that shapes collective identity, behavior, and meaning across time.
Acts as a **root framework**: foundational assumptions about the universe, humanity, and social order. Acts as a **mythic storyline** deployed within and on top of the template to justify particular social relations, hierarchies, or behavior patterns.
Example: The Old Energy Creation Template that posits humanity as fallen, sinful, separate, and inferior. Example: The Western Civilizational Narrative that says "Progress is achieved through competition and domination."
Typically **implicit** — it underlies multiple master narratives. Typically **explicit** — it appears in media, religion, education, politics.
**Universalizing and transhistorical**: It provides the cosmic architecture in which master narratives arise. **Localized and historical**: changes across time periods but anchored in the Creation Template.

Why Keep Them Separate

The conceptual utility of keeping them distinct is:

  • Analytical clarity: Allows analysis of how specific Master Narratives are rooted in Creation Templates.
  • Intervention strategy: Enables dismantling or rewriting of Master Narratives without needing to deconstruct the entire Creation Template, though advanced praxis may target the Template itself.
  • Historical specificity vs ontological universality: Creation Templates are typically stable across long periods; Master Narratives are flexible and historically dynamic.

Syncretic Utility

While it is possible to syncretize these concepts into a broader analysis of narrative control structures, maintaining the distinction enables multi-layered critique. This allows practitioners to differentiate between:

  • Deep metaphysical programming (Creation Template)
  • Social, historical, and ideological narratives (Master Narratives) that operationalize that programming in everyday life

Conceptual Map: Creation Template vs Master Narrative

Structural Relationship

  • Creation Template (CT)
    • Provides the metaphysical, ontological, and cosmological framework within which human identity, purpose, and social order are defined.
    • Operates at a foundational level, shaping what is considered possible, acceptable, and meaningful.
    • Typically implicit and stable over long historical periods.
  • Master Narrative (MN)
    • Emerges within the framework provided by the Creation Template.
    • Provides ideological storylines that direct social behavior, identity, and collective memory.
    • Typically explicit and contextually adaptive.

Flow of Influence

Creation Template → Provides cosmological/ontological assumptions → Conditions → Master Narratives → Direct social behavior and cultural meaning

Example

  • Creation Template: Humanity is fallen, sinful, separate, and inferior.
  • Master Narrative: Success requires domination and suffering; human value is earned through hard work and obedience.

Key Distinctions Table

Creation Template Master Narrative
Implicit, foundational, metaphysical Explicit, ideological, cultural-historical
Stable over long periods Adaptive and flexible over time
Universalizing and transhistorical Localized and historically specific
Underlies multiple Master Narratives Operationalizes the Creation Template

Intervention Strategy

  • Contest or rewrite specific Master Narratives.
  • Advanced praxis: Expose, critique, and rewrite the underlying Creation Template.

Syncretic Utility

While Creation Templates and Master Narratives can be collapsed into a single analysis of narrative control structures, maintaining their distinction enables multi-layered critique and provides greater conceptual precision.

Example Structure

  • Creation Template: Humanity is fallen, separate, inferior.
    • Master Narrative A: Success is earned through suffering and obedience.
    • Master Narrative B: Competition and domination lead to progress.
    • Master Narrative C: The strong are entitled to rule over the weak.

Analytical Note

Each Master Narrative operationalizes and localizes the existential assumptions embedded in the Creation Template, shaping behavior, identity, and power relations in specific historical contexts.

Notes

Creation templates consist of Positioning Statements and what else....

There are two types of creation templates, Old Energy Creation Templates and New Energy Creation Templates. Old Energy Creation Templates are typically created in Ideological Institutions by Agents of Consciousness who then propagate these templates into the consciousness of the masses for the purpose of indoctrination and social control.[1] And New Energy Creation Templates designed at the grassroots to heal, emancipate, empower, and connect.

An Old Energy Creation Template emphasizes hierarchy, privilege, submission, judgment, and punishment.

A New Energy Creation Template emphasizes unity, equality, prosperity for all, emancipation, personal power, forgiveness, and responsibility.

Ellens[2] uses the term Master Story to refer to the extant and dominant creation template.

Creation templates are designed with a creative goal in mind. To understand the creative goals of Creation Template, carefully trace the source of the ideas.

Aleister Crowley defined magick as "The science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will," without necessarily having to engage in actual physical force. As such, the development and implementation of a creation template (perhaps into an Archetype Deck or an album series), is the quintessential practice of that science and art.

The extant and dominant global creation template is an Old Energy Creation Template. The Triumph of Spirit Archetype System (TOSAS) represents an attempt to build a New Energy Creation Template to replace the elitist old energy creation template.

The creation of an old energy creation template often involves the intentional subjugation of "marginal" knowledges that complete with the intent and direction of said CT. See Subjugated Knowledge.

Creation Template: Paul Foster Case intimates the Freemasons' Wheel of Fortune tarot card is a Creation Template. Notice how archetypes support the "creative world" which in turn support "formative" (see Form)) world and finally the material world. "The wheel is the symbol of the whole cycle of cosmic expression, and also the emblem of any particular series of events. Its center, or pivot, is the archetypal world; the inner circle is the creative; the middle circle the formative; the outer circle the material world."[3]
