A Conversation with Cometan
A GLIMPSE INTO COMETAN'S DISCOURSES
A Conversation with Cometan is a video series that Cometan began during the COVID-19 pandemic to connect with like-minded individuals in the fields of space religion, space exploration, philosophy, religious studies, and freedom of religion or belief. The subsequent seasons of A Conversation of Cometan are created in order for audiences to glance into the dialogues Cometan has with his fellow human rights colleagues, philosophers, scholars and academics, and space exploration enthusiasts. The recordings of A Conversation with Cometan represent just a small portion of Cometan's overall dialogue on these topics so dear to Cometan's heart, identity and vocation.
Season 4 (2023)
Cometan returns for the fourth season of his show A Conversation with Cometan featuring new guests, new ideas and of course, new conversations.
Some guests are returning from past seasons and there will be new faces too but the topics will remain focused on the wondrous subjects of religion, philosophy and space exploration in alignment with Cometan's Astronist vision. Following a similar format to previous seasons that worked well, Cometan will deliver lectures mixed in with singular format episodes and our standard guest interviews.
Rejuvenated themes, colours and intro give Cometan the opportunity to show his creative side through production and editing. So get ready for Cometan to turn the conversation starward as he reveals more than ever before about his religion Astronism.

Season 3 (2022)
As 2022 begins so does the anticipated Third Season of A Conversation with Cometan. Season 3 begins with a surprising return for David Warner Mathisen who was featured in the first two episodes of Season 1. You will see other familiar faces conversing with Cometan this season and some new ones too.
Later episodes will see Cometan present various lectures from his Year of Predissemination Lecture Series, presentations which will cover all the topics Cometan knows and loves like Astronist philosophy, cosmocentrism, transcension, and cosmism. Also, Cometan will lecture on new topics, a notable example is his recent work concerning his grandparents' joint cause for beatification in the Catholic Church.
A Conversation with Cometan is coming back better than ever for Season 3 with a refreshing new look and of course, many new fascinating yet at times challenging and mind-bending conversations.

Season 2 (2021)
The second season of A Conversation of Cometan greatly built upon the first in all ways; in terms of the amount of episodes produced, the scale of lectures delivered by Cometan, and the range of guests Cometan had the pleasure of conversing with.
Season 2 saw Cometan converse with many guests including Professor Michael York, Philip van Nedervelde, Steven Wolfe, Giulio Prisco, Adriano Autino, Alberto Cavallo and others.
Cometan also gives audiences many more lectures for Season 2 including his completion of Original Astronist Lecture Series with the mammoth six part final lecture called Total Immersion into Astronism taking up six episodes of this second season. Cometan also gives us a couple of more informal singular format sit down episodes this season which gave audiences the opportunity to see Cometan in real-time contemplation.

Season 1 (2020–2021)
The first season of A Conversation of Cometan comprised just eight episodes premiering from October 2020 to February 2021. Guests during Season 1 included David Warner Mathisen, Dr. Jeffrey Kotyk, Giulio Prisco, Howard Bloom, and Giulia Carla Bassani (a.k.a. Astro Giulia).
Season 1 gave Cometan the chance to experiment with how to design his videos and with the way he interviewed his guests. It also allowed him to explore some really interesting topics such as "Is Astrology a Religion?", "The Salvation of Humanity among the Stars", and "the future of human spaceflight."
Cometan also conducted two lectures as part of Season 1, first was The Space Religion Lecture given in December 2020 to a cohort of religious education students at Edge Hill University and second was The Eschatology & Soteriology of Astronism which Cometan gave in January 2021 to a cohort of bachelor's degree students in religious studies at the Cambridge Muslim College.
