Book excerpt: The Dodecadoxy, also known as The Ultimation, is the twelfth and final disquisition of the philosophical treatise known as The Omnidoxy, the founding text of the philosophy of Astronism. The Dodecadoxy is written largely according to the definitionalist style of Cometanic omnidoxical writing and concerns itself with the study of imagination and freedom. Not only does The Dodecadoxy address the natures and applications of imagination and freedom, but it formulates an entire system of belief on freedom which is then subsequently applied to the entire belief system of Astronism. One of the foremost natures of Astronism is freedom and this is manifested and emphasised by The Dodecadoxy. Transcensionism is the foremost exemplification of the integration of freedom into the core of the beliefs of the philosophy of Astronism. As the final disquisition of The Omnidoxy, The Dodecadoxy also concerns itself with the nature of the personhood of Cometan as its sole author as well as some of the most prominent elements of Astronism and including other metaphilosophical topics of study.

Book excerpt: The Omnidoxy is the founding treatise of the Astronist religion and was solely authored by the philosopher and religious founder, Cometan. Partitioned into twelve disquisitions, each of which are further divided into hundreds of discourses, which are themselves titled by those which are known as rubrals, The Omnidoxy has been codified according to a unique writing structure known as insentence. The Omnidoxy not only forms the foundations of Astronism, but it remains the primary modern contributor and the book that ignited the establishment of the Astronic tradition of religion which encompasses the philosophy of Astronism. Introducing brand new philosophical concepts such as cosmocentricity, reascensionism, transcensionism, and sentientism amongst many others, The Omnidoxy remains the principal signifier of a new era in philosophy. The Omnidoxy births hundreds of new belief orientations, schools of thought, neologisms, disciplines of study, theories, and concepts which, when combined and considered collectively, have formed the basis of Astronism. The authorship of The Omnidoxy rests with the single individual philosopher, Cometan who began writing The Omnidoxy at the age of seventeen driven by what he terms as personal inspiration. The historical origination of The Omnidoxy rests in its authorship by Brandon Taylorian during early 21st century England, specifically in the northern county of Lancashire. Like in all textual criticism, the timing and location of the codification of The Omnidoxy is integral to understanding why and how it was written, especially by considering the influential factors impacting Taylorian during his construction of the text, particularly the cultural, political, religious, and social contexts of Taylorian's personal life and of wider society at the time. This forms an important branch of study within omnidoxicology known as omnidoxical criticism, or omnidoxical exegesis in which scholars study and investigate The Omnidoxy in order to discern conclusive judgements inspired by how, where, why, by whom, for whom, and in what circumstances The Omnidoxy was written.

The Pentadoxy is preceded by The Tetradoxy and followed by The Hexadoxy and compared to the other disquisitions of The Omnidoxy, it is of medium length as it far trails behind both The Monodoxy and The Duodoxy in length yet exceeds both The Tridoxy and The Tetradoxy.

Book excerpt: Terminological Discourse is the eighty-eighth instalment in the Little Blue Book Series and comprises the fourth and longest discourse of the Pentadoxy, which is itself the fifth disquisition of the Omnidoxy, Astronism’s founding book. The longest single discourse in the entire Omnidoxy, the Terminological Discourse involves a significant and extensive list of terms that relate to a wide variety of aspects of Astronism. The Little Blue Book Series was created and first published by Cometan himself as a way to simplify and commercialise the immensity of the two million word length of the Omnidoxy into smaller, more bite-size publications. A successful series from its very first published entry, the Little Blue Book Series has gone on to become a symbol of Astronist commercial literature and a way for Cometan’s words to reach readers of all ages and abilities who remain daunted by the beauty and yet the sheer extensiveness of the Omnidoxy as the longest religious text in history.

Book excerpt: Cometan began writing the Omnidoxy, the founding text of Astronism, at the age of seventeen in 2015 and this first great treatise of the Astronist religion was published in 2019. Since then, the world has been introduced to Astronism and its central doctrine of transcension and its worldview of cosmocentrism but the time has come to reflect on the Omnidoxy. The Astronist System explores the major themes of the Omnidoxy including cosmic organicism, astrogenism, returnism and transcension and provides rigorous detail on various aspects of Astronist philosophy, theology, spirituality, eschatology and soteriology. In this reflective work, Cometan also takes the time to analyse what the founding text of Astronism achieved and the legacy it has left behind for the worldwide Astronist community. Cometan's reflections on the Omnidoxy text from his current vantage point allow him to close the chapter on the Omnidoxy so that he can move forward with his writing and eventual publication of the next great Astronist treatise titled the Astrodoxy which Cometan has already titled the central text of Astronism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Preppendix of the Omnidoxy is the pre-disquisitional segment of the Omnidoxy that constitutes a significant portion of the entire text as part of the Original Omnidoxical Series as solely written and authored by Cometan and published by the Astronist Institution. The segment that forms the majority of the Preppendix is known as the Astronicon which is an extensive collection of mythological narratives that came to form the foundations of Astronist mythology. Additionally, the Preppendix also consists of a series of very short subsegments that introduce the Omnidoxy text, provide important background information to the treatise, and even explore some key ideas that have become important to wider Astronism. However, the most important and dominant part of the Preppendix, as aforementioned, is the Astronicon which encompasses an epic story of space mythology in which the family of Cometan are set on a course of astronomical distances to reach the astronomical elixir and to attain the long sought-after state of cosmosis. The Astronicon is the principal introducer of the world to the beautiful and rich tradition of storytelling within the Astronist religion and as a result, also introduces Astronist mythology to the world, the body of works, characters, and themes that are part of the wider Astronic tradition of mythology.

Book excerpt: The Monodoxy is a 275,000 word-long philosophical disquisition categorised as the first of twelve disquisitions that, when considered collectively, form The Omnidoxy, the founding treatise of the philosophy of Astronism established by Cometan. The disquisition comprises of hundreds of discourses which are themselves titled by rubrals and written according to a style and structure known as insentence. The Monodoxy's authorship solely rests with Cometan, the first Millettic philosopher and the founder of Astronism whom began writing The Monodoxy at the age of just seventeen through what he termed as personal inspiration. The Monodoxy has been said to formulate the thematic identity of the philosophy of Astronism due to its prominent focus on the elements, progeny, and phenomena of The Cosmos in a distinct way to all the other eleven disquisitions forming The Omnidoxy. Hundreds of new schools of thought, disciplines of study, and philosophical belief orientations hold their roots in The Monodoxy in addition to thousands of new terms, concepts, and theories which hold a distinguished originality and Cometanic style combined with an Astronic identity. There are a total of fifty-three discourses which constitute The Monodoxy, each of which holds its own special title known as a rubral which are used to provide overviews of the discourses to which they are associated.

Book excerpt: The Duodoxy is a 370,000 word long philosophical disquisition and the second of twelve disquisitions forming The Omnidoxy solely authored by the mononymous philosopher and founder of Astronism, Cometan. The Duodoxy comprises of one hundred and forty different discourses and introduces a plethora of new words, concepts, disciplines of study, and belief orientations. The topics addressed in these discourses differ vastly from the introduction of the Millettic approach to logic, the different forms and structures of philosophies, comparisons of philosophies to religions and ideologies, as well as outlining the theoretical foundations of how Astronism is to be disseminated globally which is addressed in the discourse focusing on the nature of promulgation and its management. The Duodoxy is also colloquially referred to as The Everything Disquisition due to the fact that it encompasses such a wide range of branches of philosophy, the most prominent one of which of course remains logic, upon which all of the ideas and theories presented in The Duodoxy are predicated. Additionally, The Duodoxy is said to provide the philosophy of Astronism with its ornamentation for The Duodoxy comprises of such a wide range of topics that without its presence, Astronism would not have developed as it has to become a philosophy with its own distinct physical and conceptual features and beliefs. At its heart, The Duodoxy is the introducer and outliner of Millettarian/Millettic/Astronic logic and under this auspice, Cometan has formulated, with the use of a new philosophical language, a new logical approach to understanding The Cosmos from the perspective of humanity as a whole as well as from our own personal individual perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily Starkiss undertakes the biography of the famous autodidactic and mononymous philosopher, Cometan, who is the first Astronic philosopher, the founder of Astronism, and the sole author of the Omnidoxy. Starkiss focuses on the latter teenage years of Cometan as his identity and philosophership are first created and begin to establish themselves. In this exclusive biography, Starkiss investigates how Brandon Taylorian created and dealt with his newfound identity as Cometan and the many challenges, worries, and tribulations that he was experiencing and that were facing him in the future as he struggled to establish the philosophy of Astronism. In addition, Starkiss chronicles the life of Cometan during his authorship of the philosophical treatise of the Omnidoxy, how the writing of Cometan's seminal work at such a young age change the young man's perceptions, identity, and personality. Emily Starkiss thoroughly analyses how Cometan became Cometan during the most pivotal years at the beginning of his philosophership during the founding of the philosophy of Astronism. Starkiss's chronicle of the young philosopher's earliest years provides a unique insight into a person whose ambitions quickly not only became the dominate force in their life, but also moulded their entire identity.
