Greetings, once again, from the Order and Ordinance! A fresh new Period of Watching is upon us, Maiye is returned. I welcome you all back to this page for in-depth discussion of Lord Nakndes’s Xyphozon and of Nature and Reincarnation, Her attributes. In this Period, given we are now in stormy weather as the Cosmic Struggle starts to stir, much of the future discussion for this Period will be directed at topics of Nature’s force and the effects our actions have on the environment we live in. However, in order to truly discuss these topics, we first must understand Nature from its fundamental and Xyphokonic root. Today we discuss Nature as the creating force for our reality.

When speaking of Nature as the “creating force” in Xyphoist Philosophy, we first must understand what the term “creation” means in this context. It is not to say that Nature has created all of existence more so that it’s to say that Nature as acted upon the realmly existence and elements of existence and crafted those two attributes into a tangible plane for us to exist upon. We’ll use the analogy of a cake: the ingredients are the Elements, the recipe is the realmly structure, but it must be the baker that combines them and bakes the cake. This, in many ways, is how the Nine Xyphozons work together as different organs to form the Order. For example, someone had to have the Realmly knowledge to create the recipe for the cake, and another had to have the Free Will and desire to want to make a recipe in the first place. One would have to have a Passionate Love for baking to do it for a living. In that example we see the Xyphozons working together.

Returning to topic, now that we understand Nature to be the “chef,” we can understand what Nature as the Creating Force truly means. Nature establishes our relative plane of existence; Nature established what, for example, constitutes a Human vs a Beast or Shianiki. Nature determines what things are deadly and what are safe to touch or eat. Nature establishes that things like gravity will pull you down towards its center, or that ice will melt at a certain temperature. Nature determines why some people will have various genes, why some microscopic organisms or pathogens cause disease. Nature decides when it storms, when droughts hit, and even what conditions are needed for organisms to die out. All of this is the creating aspect of Nature; it creates the conditions for which we mortals live by in our corporeal vessels.

The term “Mother Nature” is often used, and the ingrained spiritual colloquialism isn’t by mistake. Lord Nakndes, personified as a woman adorned in verdancy and vines and blessed with earthy tones and fluid movement, is very much the Mother of Nature in Xyphoist Philosophy, and Her creations subject creating force of Nature.

As we discuss the Nakndsian Xyphozon further, we will see the various sides of Nature, its Law, the Stirring of it, and finally the futility of Hubris to try and conquer it. These will be the focuses of our discussion on the philosophical portions on the topic of Nature. Until then, I shall leave you with that, and wish you all here in the Ordinance and Order a serine Sacred Day.
