Creation Template
A Creation Template is a symbolic deployment package that expresses and operationalizes the underlying philosophical assumptions of a Creative Framework through archetypes, narratives, imagery, ritual, and discourse. Creation Templates function as the cultural interface through which individuals internalize the cosmology, ontology, axiology, and ethics defined by the framework. Put another way, Creation Templates translate the metaphysical structure of a worldview into emotionally resonant, socially embedded, and behaviorally enforceable formats, typically through the coordinated efforts of System Architects, Symbol Factories, and Ideological Institutions. Creation Templates operate at the level of Worldview Infrastructure, shaping the metaphysical boundaries of what is possible, acceptable, and meaningful in a given society.

Creation Template Integration: Symbolic Fabric vs. Symbolic Structure
Within the Lightning Path (LP) framework, Creation Templates are the master narrative blueprints that structure social reality. These templates define not only material institutions but also the entire symbolic ecosystem—language, myth, archetype, ideology—that guides perception and behavior.
Symbolic Fabric refers to the total immersive field of meaning created by a Creation Template. It includes linguistic codes, archetypal systems, social scripts, cultural myths, and legitimating ideologies. The Symbolic Fabric is the semantic and energetic atmosphere we breathe—mostly unconsciously. It determines what seems "normal," "sacred," or "real" by embedding power relations into the very structure of meaning. On the LP, dismantling and replacing the Old Energy Symbolic Fabric is required for spiritual reconnection and planetary healing.
Symbolic Structures are the scaffolds of the Symbolic Fabric. They are specific systems of classification (e.g., sacred/profane, good/evil, high/low), embedded in language, law, ritual, and institutional discourse. Where Symbolic Fabric is the totality, Symbolic Structures are its constituent frameworks. These structures give form to Symbolic Power and enable Symbolic Violence, by organizing perception and legitimizing inequality.
In short:
- Creation Templates are the narrative blueprints imposed by the Accumulating Class.
- Symbolic Fabric is the full field of meanings produced by those templates.
- Symbolic Structures are the internal codes and frames (e.g., religious dogma, scientific hierarchies, racial classifications) that hold that fabric together and keep it operative. These internal codes are created in Symbol Factories, encoded in cultural productions (movie, tarot cards, etc.), and distributed by Ideological Institutions.
The Creation Template is what mediates between philosophy and practice, between ontology and behavior, between cosmology and daily life. It is how the system gets into people
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 creation of an old energy creation template often involves the intentional subjugation of "marginal" knowledges that complements 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]
