When the idea of creating a video series about my passion for space religion and Astronism first popped into my mind a year ago, I never for a moment thought that a year later I would be beginning production on the series’ third season but here we are.

The “A Conversation with Cometan” series has allowed me to engage with thinkers from across the world on topics dear to my heart and has already given me the chance to produce content about Astronism in new and exciting ways beyond the pages of a book.

Today I am excited to exclusively reveal the Official Poster for Season 3 of A Conversation with Cometan. In the upcoming Season 3, you can expect more challenging conversations about the future of humanity in outer space, death and the afterlife, Astronist beliefs and philosophy, especially Astronist form of salvation called transcension. But as I begin production on the third season of my video series in October ready for our January 2022 launch, it is important to reflect on the amazing content about religion, philosophy, space exploration and spirituality that has already been produced by way of this series so far.

We will do this now by looking back on the episodes produced as part of Seasons 1 and 2 from October 2020 to August 2021. You will see that as time has gone on my video production skills are improving, as is my ability to engage with different thinkers by igniting more compelling debates. With the upcoming third season, I hope to continue this progression in my skillset. I really enjoy watching the evolution of my work and the way I interact with the brilliant scholars and thought leaders that I have had the pleasure of conversing with.
