A Conversation with Cometan - 3 ª Season

Season 3 of Cometan's video series exploring all things space religion, philosophy and spirituality begins with a returning guest from Season 1, David Warner Mathisen. Cometan invites David back to speak on the topic of astrotheology and David's theory of the existence of a worldwide system of star myths and celestial metaphor. This new season starts off with a detailed and varied conversation in a way that feels fresh and new. Particularly interesting is how David takes a more systematic approach in presenting the evidence he has compiled over the last decade or so in support of the theory of the existence of a global phenomenon of celestial metaphor spanning prehistoric, ancient and modern eras and that possesses an abundance of resources to help individuals and all humanity in contemporary times.

Cometan picks the brilliant brain of Octavio Chon on the fascinating topic of astrobiology as Season 3 continues. A wonderful and dynamic conversation, the subjects addressed ranged from cosmocentrism to space exploration to the underlying philosophy of the search for extraterrestrial life. We get to know Professor Octavio Chon from the University of Lima, Peru and his important work in the field of astrobiology, altogether learning how his search for extraterrestrial life has influenced his own personal religious and philosophical views.

Cometan discusses one of the central beliefs of his Astronist religion known as transcension, the belief in the salvific powers of the astronomical world and the endeavour of space exploration. Cometan foresees that the religions of the future will be forced to adapt to the revelations that will come about from space exploration and progressions in scientific astronomy, revelations that his own Astronism eagerly awaits. Astronism is truly a space religion for the 21st century and beyond but here, Cometan gives us his overview in his own words about what he thinks Astronism might become in the future with transcension as one of its five central dogmas.

Michael York returns to converse with Cometan on the matters of religious history, astronomy, and the pagan faith. This fascinating conversation covers areas of philosophical, eschatological and soteriological relevance with Professor York and Cometan both presenting their understandings of astronomy's role in the history of religion, what significance this holds, and how the organisation of this history should be approached. Indeed, Cometan comes at the topic from his Astronist perspective while Professor York approaches the topic from his pagan point of view. Yet again, Cometan and Professor York establish an important dialogue on a topic of mutual interest with particular relevance to Cometan's development of his religion and philosophy called Astronism.

Cometan explains his creation of the First Major Astronist Mechanism, a visual framework detailing the Astrosoteriology and the Astroeschatology, the branches of Astronism concerned with salvation and the future of humanity respectively. This framework called Major Astronist Mechanism 1 is just the first in a series of mechanisms planned to represent the complexities of the Astronist religion and Astronist philosophy in visual form. This first instalment in the Major Astronist Mechanism series explores the prospective timeline and significant process of the Astronist salvific endeavour of transcension including the branches Degradation and Transcension oriented on the choices humanity makes during the events of the impending Twilightide.
