Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Conrad Properties and associated entities has implemented a five year plan to become
not only sustainability aware but a leader in the field of sustainable design for both our
residential and commercial projects.
To achieve this we have broken Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)’s into two
basic categories. Firstly our commitment to the design of the projects in terms of
project orientation, solar gain and loss, natural ventilation and long term energy
efficiency for not only today’s but tomorrow’s users of our products. Secondly our
commitment to the construction of the projects in terms of consultant, contractor,
subcontractor and suppliers selection. We intend to implement an ESD initiative form
that outlines our goals and intentions and must be completed by all consultants,
contractors, subcontracts and suppliers prior to their being accepted on our projects.
Conrad Properties and associated entities has recently become a member of the New
Zealand Green Building Council.
Conrad Properties and associated entities are investigating our carbon footprint and
how we can become carbon neutral over the next 5 years. Our plan is to implement
this in stages being year 1 consultants and sales divisions, year 3 Contractors, year 3
Subcontractors years 4 and 5 material suppliers.

3.0 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN METHODOLOGY
3.1 Change of Use
First principle of project analysis being to avoid deconstruction. Adaptability and change
of use being the primary considerations where a project requires demolition of a large
existing building. It is recognized however this is not easy because applying existing
rules of planning and building codes to older structures can become very uneconomic.
3.2 Indoor Quality
Ventilation and internal air pollution
• Natural ventilation is achieved with cross apartment ventilation
• Bathroom extract to expel bathroom air pollution
• Sealed rubbish bins to be kept inside cupboard space
• Fresh air to bedrooms (switched)
Daylight
• Natural daylight to all habitable spaces
• All apartments face east, north or west and all get good natural daylight during
the day
Glare Control
• Minimal window sizes to direct north
• Fins to east and west elevations
• Balconies from above providing sunshade
• Opaque glass to external balcony balustrades
Outlook
• Primary outlook north, east and west with a minimum 30 metres unless over a
street or lane
Thermal comfort
• North facing concrete wall to gather heat during the day and disperse to the units
behind it at night
• Fins to east and west elevations
• Concrete floors to gather heat during the day and disperse to the units at night
Individual comfort control
• Individual heating is suggested via task heating
Sustainability Methodology for The Conrad Group of Companies

4.0 OPERATIONAL METHODOLOGY (END USER INFORMATION)
4.1 Operational Use
During the life of the apartments for both owners and occupiers to manage and reduce
their individual impact on the environment and climate change we intend to introduce a
new section to the owner’s manual that is in each apartment at handover. General tips
for energy-efficient homes (extracted from www.carbonzero.co.nz) are ideas that are
suggested for ongoing sustainable living.
Energy Efficient Home Heating
• Damp homes take more energy to heat. Reduce condensation by leaving
curtains, windows and doors open on fine days when you are at home. Dry air is
easier to heat, and healthier
• Use thermostats and timers on heaters
• Use door snakes (draught stoppers) to reduce draughts
• Close curtains before dark to keep heat in
• Use heaters away from windows – they are more effective against walls
• Use an extra blanket or hot-water bottle instead of an electric blanket
• Put on a jersey instead of a heater
• Check the air tightness of windows, floors and doors
• Use a ceiling fan to distribute heat in winter and cool air in summer
• Install thermal-lined curtains with pelmets and save $60 per year
Energy Efficient Appliances
• Domestic appliances are responsible for 15% of home electricity
• Choose energy-efficient electrical products with an energy star label on them
• Many appliances use up to 40% of their annual energy consumption on standby
and not doing anything
Kitchen Appliances
• Choose fridges and washing machines to suit your household size
• Refrigeration is responsible for up to 10% of total energy
• Position the fridge away from the stove or direct sunlight
• Set fridge to between -2C and -5C, and freezer to -18C
• Use the microwave in place of the oven or stovetop. Microwaves use 70% less
electricity
• Make sure your dishwasher is both energy and water efficient. Only do a load
when the machine is full and use the economy cycle. Use the dishwasher to heat
its own water as it is cheaper than using cylinder water
Sustainability Methodology for The Conrad Group of Companies
9. -9-
Laundry Appliances
• Wash clothes in cold water and only when the machine is full
• Instead of using your dryer, dry clothes inside using the power of the sun
• Make sure clothes are well spun before putting them in the dryer
• Use low heat settings on the dryer whenever you can
• Make sure the dryer is well vented outside
• Clean the lint filter after each use
Bathroom Appliances
• Turn off heated towel rails in summer months and when not using them
• Shower with windows open or vent the room to avoid moisture build-up
Other Appliances
• Turn off appliances either at the on/off button or at the wall when not in use
• For entertainment appliances (e.g. TV, video,) turn off at the on/off button. For
other appliances such as washing machines, driers, microwaves, phone
chargers, turn off at the wall and save 5% on your power bill
• Turn your computer monitor off when not in use as it uses over half the total
energy needed to run a computer (the screen saver does not save power)
• Turn the hard drive off when going out or overnight
• When going away for holidays, turn off all non-essential appliances at the wall
Energy-efficient lighting
• Ten percent of domestic electricity is used in lighting
• Switch off lights when they are not needed
• Paint walls a light colour – dark walls need more power for the same amount of
light
• Where you can, use natural daylight instead of turning on the lights
• When incandescent light bulbs blow, fit lower-wattage bulbs, or compact
fluorescents, instead. Changing five frequently used bulbs with compact
fluorescents saves 5% on your energy bill. A fluorescent bulb has a longer
lifetime and uses 75% less electricity to produce the same amount of light as an
equivalent incandescent bulb – a saving of $10 per year in electricity and 250 kg
CO2
Energy Efficient Transport
• Walk, cycle or use public transport instead of the car
• Buy a fuel-efficient, low-polluting car. A smaller car is much more efficient
• Get your car serviced regularly
• Drive smoothly and steadily
• Use your air conditioning unit sparingly
Sustainability Methodology for The Conrad Group of Companies
10. - 10 -
Waste Reduction
• Recycle paper, cardboard, aluminium and steel cans, plastic, glass bottles, milk
containers and toner cartridges
• Buy recycled products
• Select products with minimal packaging
• Take your own bags to the supermarket
• Buy economy size so you use fewer containers
• Buy only what you need
• Buy local in-season produce as much as possible
• Don't waste food
Sustainability Methodology for The Conrad Group of Companies
