ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the adjective temporal is used here to denote “relation to time” with the suffix -ism denoting “a belief”; in the context of Astronism, this denotes the “astronaturalist principle that one’s lifetime must be achieved and that contribution to transcension is necessary and imperative due to the singularity of one’s lifetime as a result of the astronaturalist denial of the afterlife.”
