Wonderment

The Centrality of Wonderment is the fourth instalment in the Little Blue Book Series and comprises of the eighth to ninth discourses of the Monodoxy, which is itself the first disquisition of the founding book of Astronism which is titled the Omnidoxy. The Centrality of Wonderment discourse introduces readers to the various devotional practices found within Astronism and consists of numerous insentensations regarding the tradition and importance of wonderment towards The Cosmos. The Cosmic Alchemy explores the tradition of Astronist mysticism and introduces readers to why and how the mystical practices and beliefs of Astronism are important to the central belief of cosmosis. 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.

DARK ROADS As twilight’s curtain falls and setting sun sinks through swarms of summer flies the road gets harder and harder to see— and, unless these restless clouds cleave and moon shines through I may not come to you. Darling, I started too late. I knew where the path was and where it led. And I knew the secret place you kept the key. But darkness, darkness of will, mind, purpose, intention blinded me, held me back, made me lag, stall. Moon, of c0urse, is every hopeful lover’s light, and if it shines tonight I’ll see my way through the maze of emotions, through the tangled vines of cheating, lies, deceit, past the jagged thorns of guile, the deep pools of refusal and negligence: Yes, I’ll see my way, by moonlight, past the black shadows of jealousy and nettles plucked by sharp-tongued anger and open your door and watch with you the fingers of eiderdown dawn raise the curtain of night and show us, through the labyrinthine woods of grief and dolor the guiding silver thread of sunlit love.
