சுயசரிதை
Founder of Astronism, philosopher and astrotheologian, lecturer, human rights scholar and specialist in freedom of religion or belief, Cometan was born Brandon Reece Taylor (later changed to Taylorian) in Preston in the county of Lancashire in England to hair salon owner Janet Louise Richardson (née Warbrick; later Counsell) and business owner Seán Frederick Taylor. Both his mother and father are of English ancestry. Cometan's ascent to fame began when, at age fifteen, he began to found a new religion that would come to be called Astronism. Before beginning to write seriously the first great Astronist treatise called the Omnidoxy, Cometan wrote mystery stories centring on a London teenager named Jesse Millette, an ideal young male hero figure during a futuristic age in which the human exploration of outer space has greatly advanced. Cometan's Jesse Millette books have since come to compliment and act as an auxiliary vehicle for his fundamental Astronist messages. During the period beginning when he was fifteen, Cometan began to experience an alarming amount ideations about the nature, function and destiny of humanity in the astronomical world. These ideations snowballed into writings strange and stupefying, climaxing with Cometan's experience of several astral ecstasies during his young adult years. Based on these deeply personal and thematically astral experience, Cometan began writing the Omnidoxy when he was seventeen years old. Upon the book's completion, which is now referred to as the "founding treatise of Astronism", it had grown to over 1.7 million words. The Omnidoxy gives an exposition of the Astronist view of existence and humanity's place within The Cosmos as Astronists should see it. Omnidoxical literature is both poetic and religious, sometimes difficult to follow and grasp, with a multitude of layered meanings ornamented with rich text throughout. The Omnidoxical treatise is a grand introduction to the Astronist belief system and its upcoming successor the Astrodoxy, which has already been dubbed the "central text of Astronism", continues on this tradition of writing over grand vistas of cosmic metaphor and transcensional instruction.
Cometan is blessed with a large family, the influence of whom over Cometan's founding of Astronism isn't to be understated, however, only small snippets are verifiably attributed to Cometan's family members and are only ever described as inspirational in order to preserve the sole development of Astronism to Cometan's original ideas and revelations. Cometan had two sets of grandparents whom he was more close to in different periods of his life. His paternal grandparents, Derrick and Irene Mary Taylor, were closer to Cometan during his childhood years especially his grandmother, Irene, a mother to ten children and a devout Roman Catholic whom instilled a strict religiosity into her grandchildren; it was this large presence of religion in his childhood that Cometan later attributed to his deep interests in exploring theology and philosophy. In his later years, after his paternal grandparents both passed away and his father's side of the family became bitterly divided over inheritance issues, Cometan became closer to his maternal grandparents, Hilda and William "Bill" Warbrick. After his parents' separation when he was four, Cometan's father remarried 7 years later and had five other children (Kieran Taylorian, Kent Taylorian, Zara Taylorian, Jay Taylorian, and Edie Taylorian), and his mother also remarried ten years later and had her second daughter after Lucia Natalie Richardson named Charlotte Sophia Louise Counsell.
