Greetings from the Ordinance and Order! This appears to be the final entry of Commentary for this Maiye Period on Nature, so just as we started in verdant bloom and freshness, so should we end with the natural decay, rot, death, and recycle of our mini-series on Nature. Aptly so, we will spend today talking about Nature in regards to the cycle of Life and Death with a focus on mortality in Xyphojinami.

Of all the rules of existence as Mortals in Xyphojinami, none are more eternal and unquestioned than the cycle of mortality itself, and that it begins as Life and ends as Death. A seed planted—spawned from the reproduction from previous Life—is nurtured and grows into a fresh budding flower. The flower reaches its full bloom, spreading its seeds for Life and lasting long enough to do so. Perhaps the Flower enjoys a period of peace before the natural wilting begins. The blossoms fall and they’ve served their purpose, and the coloration fades as it too has exhausted its faculties. Towards the end, the flower grows nimble and meek, slumping into its eternal rest. Inevitably, the flower wilts and succumbs to its natural Death, and the vessel rots and decays as the spirit is released—free and formless—and is given rest before being scattered and eventually recycled.

This temporal status, that of mortality, is a reality of existence. And one perhaps that could bring about fear, yet is one of necessity. My brethren here in the Ordinance will speak more deeply on their attributes that contribute to both Life and Death, but I come here to link the cycle and process to the facilitator of such things: Nature. Every attribute has its Xyphozon, and each have their duties. When it comes to the root purpose of Nature, it is the facilitator, the manager, to setting force of the various attributes that establish themselves as needed.  Realmly Existence and Manifestation are attributes of Lord Caspierre’s Xyphozon, yet they are facilitated by Natural Flow. Life and Death, the spiritual process, are carried out by the rules in which Nature sets for the conditions to bring about both. The Elements require Nature to define each Elements’ impact and influence in the working realms.

In short, Nature is the force that other attributes use as a vehicle to move their powers through; it is a medium. It is called the “creating force” by us, the mortals, for it establishes the rules we exist by. While our existence itself is established by all the attributes, it is Nature that rules HOW we interact with such an existence. Nature is the creating force, it is not to be conquered or trifled, and can eradicate all that seeks to best its creator. As we’ve gone through this mini-series, we’ve explored Nature’s various roles and impacts with the goal to help understand this often enigmatic attribute and Lord who propagates it. With that said, we here at the Ordinance wish you all a Sacred Day!
