Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back. Today starts the first Commentary of the Caspierrian period of Nuvemus, and so we shall begin discussion on topic revolving around Reality, Manifestation, Existence, and perhaps even field some questions on the side. The topic for today will be on manifesting futures. How does future realities work in this Spectrum? Do the Lords know our futures before they happen? Are our destinies set in stone from the beginning or can they change. Let us dive in, shall we?

Future realities, as expected, are events in relative time frames we have yet to experience but are expected to come as we progress through our existence. The future itself shall always exist so long as there is a present existence to perceive the possibility of it. What takes place in that future setting is dependent on a multitude of factors in our current state of existence as well as foreseen knowledge from beyond our Earthly grasp. In our Spectrum, the future is dependent on the continuous flow of Spirituality between the realms. The stagnation of this spiritual flow would lead to existential collapse which would plunge us into nonexistence as a result. Future realities must have the constant flow of reality to remain possible.

Now the question of whether the Lords themselves know of the future. Simply put, they are the host of our entire existence, and as such can foresee every and all possibility within the existence they host. We, cast from their shadows brought from the Initial Flash of Light, are beholden to the existence they spawn. As such, it is reasonable to say they can see every possibility we can experience, and have decided that giving us liberties, allowing Natural Flow and Divergence, and leaving reality to its own development would be the best option given the futures they can witness. The Lords then can see all possibilities while allowing us to walk down to our own at the behest of our own Free Will—picking one of the many futures they can see.

We also bolster this foresight from the Prophecy given by the Hayles; the Hayles, having access to untold amounts of Realmly Truth, were able to deliver the Prophecy to the remaining Xyphoites through seeing into the future and catching glimpse of the future where Deceptuary fails in his wild endeavors and instructed the remaining Xyphoites on how to enshrine this outcome. And while they gave an outline for this future, they didn’t detail every single truth on the matter—leaving the Xyphoites with the Free Will to discover the truth on their own and building the future in which the Equilibrium will be balanced. The Lords bestowed great confidence in the Hayles’ ability to communicate with us in the Ordinance, and we too trust in this foresight.

This then answers the final question of whether things are fated. Simply put, if you want them too then they most likely will. There are outcomes that fall out of the reach—things that are such great challenges perhaps one person cannot overcome in the current timeline—yet with time a possible future can exist where something is overcome. At one point, we saw people perish to certain diseases that were just assumed to be a guaranteed death sentence if you fell ill to them. Now, we have medicines and practices to allow people live through things we once thought were fatal. A new future, brought by action, changed a previously-assured fate. I took many fallen lives to eventually get to a future where one does not have to fall in that way—a new future manifested.
