In Episode 3 of A Conversation with Cometan, a fascinating conversation takes place between Dr. Jeffrey Kotyk and Cometan regarding meta-astrological issues, such as "what is astrology", "should it be considered as religion", . Following on from this, the conversation moves into an explanation of astral magic, the history of astrology in Chinese civilisation, its interactions with Buddhism and Confucianism, and finally, Cometan explains how he sees Astrology's place as being part of the Astronic religious tradition (or Astronicism). A big thank you to Jeffrey for a brilliant conversation this evening.<br /><br />Follow Jeffrey on Twitter – https://twitter.com/JeffreyKotyk<br /><br />Visit The Official Website of Cometan: https://www.cometan.org<br /><br />Visit The Official Website of Astronism: https://www.astronism.com<br /><br />Follow Cometan on Social Media:<br />Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/CometanOfficial<br />Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/CometanOfficial<br />Instagram –https://www.instagram.com/CometanOfficial<br /><br />Confucius' supposed "no great interest" in the astronomical wold: John North's "Cosmos: An Illustrated History of Astronomy and Cosmology", p. 136.<br /><br />Resources from Jeffrey:<br />– https://www.jstor.org/stable/23351765?seq=1<br />– https://www.academia.edu/35484261/Buddhist_Astrology_and_Astral_Magic_in_the_Tang_Dynasty_PhD_Dissertation<br />– https://www.jstor.org/stable/23047141?seq=1<br />– https://www.academia.edu/38875166/Astrological_Determinism_in_Indian_Buddhism<br /> – https://www.academia.edu/37502869/The_Sinicization_of_Indo_Iranian_Astrology_in_Medieval_China<br />– https://www.academia.edu/34408763/_Can_Monks_Practice_Astrology_Astrology_and_the_Vinaya_in_China_<br /><br />This video remains property of the Astronist Institution. <br />© 2020 Astronist Institution
