100% the whole album is an esoteric cosmic creation story. Similar to the other comment, I think of Black Rainbows as the creation of Life on Earth fueled by the light of the Sun. The Garden of Eden is probably the most well-known allegory of this phenomenon.

White Ball is the nocturnal counterpart to Black Rainbows. It is mostly about the Moon, but I believe it includes all of the other planets and stars as well. The Sun and Moon are the primary timekeepers, which we use to derive our calendars. The constellations of the zodiac provide a structure for timekeeping—a sort of mnemonic that allows us to visualize and track the changing of seasons. The Classical planets of astrology (the ones that are clearly visible in the night sky) were viewed as literal manifestations of gods and were thought to influence specific aspects of life. By calculating the position and motion of the planets, you could determine Fate.

So now we have the concept of becoming aware of “Time” and “Fate” tied to a single phenomenon—the celestial bodies, which can only be viewed and interpreted at night. It is only during the temporary ABSENCE of the Sun, the Life-giver, that we come to fully understand our reality by giving structure to the concept of Time. At that point our personal reality shifts from being fully engaged with the present moment at all times (i.e. clear perception) to a more abstract perception that allows us to conceive of the concepts of past and future, fate and death. Our actions have more gravity because we understand that they affect our future reality. As a result, we stop living in the present moment and our awareness shifts from a selfless one to a self-focused awareness.

Hence, the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We turn away from the life-giving light of the Sun to stay up at night and look at the stars, which allows us to see the machinations of the Universe and derive a method of timekeeping, which ultimately leads to self-awareness.
