The meaning of Zos is the whole of the human, involving the whole spectrum of conscious thought. The symbol of Zos is a [[pentagram]], or the five fingers of the human hand{{Fact|date=September 2007}}. |

[[Kia (occult)|Kia]] refers to the eye, the symbolism of which can be understood either as the gateway to Zos, the self, or a phonetic "I"{{Fact|date=September 2007}}.
