Developing a universal symbolic language to map diverse religious cosmologies and conceptions of reality
BLUE Community Fellow

Background
Religious and spiritual traditions provide varying accounts of the creation, evolution and the eventual fate of our world. These diverse beliefs often give us fascinating insights into the ritual, experiential, mythical, doctrinal, ethical, social, and material aspects of each tradition. I aim to create a universal notation to map different religious cosmologies offering a novel way to compare and explore structures of belief across cultures.
