Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back! We rejoin here for second-to-last installment of the Sacred Lesson Series. In the last entry, we went over Usakisia’s lesson of “Elemental Force” and introduced the Ijoe Chant. Today, we will over the next Sacred Child’s relatively brief lesson in comparison to the others. Today, we will talk about Soylantasia, Child of Reality, and her lesson entitled “Fabric of Reality.” This will be accompanied by a hymn dedicated to her exploration of the celestial beyond and the knowledge of Reality itself. Let us begin.
The lesson of “Fabric of Reality,” is quite straightforward compared to some more abstract or heavier lessons we’ve gone through. As is true to the nature of both Her Excellency, Lord Caspierre and, by extension, Hayle Taeh the original “celestial seeker,” the Caspierrian Xyphozon is one based in scholarly perception, creativity, adaptiveness, and synthesizing of Realmly Knowledge to better act on management of Reality itself. This lesson follows through with that mindset and essentially explains what Reality is and how we use it in conjunction with Manifestation to perceive all that exists. Hayle Taeh gives a single lecture on these principles which we can witness in this excerpt of “Xykozheiz:”
Existence is perceived through the attribute of Manifestation. We can see, touch, and be fully within Reality, an Existence, through this attribute. Corporealism and Etherealism are existent through this attribute. Our boundaries, difference forms, stages of existence, all take place through the ability to perceive Reality.
Realmly Structure hinges on the Existence of Manifestation. What keeps All Things as one yet separate is this force. The Cosmos, too, rely on Realmly Structure to conduct Its role.
Taeh explains that all things within existence that we perceive are done so through the manifestation of Reality itself. Whether it be the ethereal existence of Xykopsysomi or the corporeal existence of Xyphojinami, what forms the tangible existence of both is the manifestation of Reality itself. The divine attribute of Lord Caspierre creates the structure and properties of existence to be written, so to speak.
Taeh continues with the lecture by adding that there are forces—namely Deceptuary’s corruption—that seek to disrupt and destroy those realmly structures and cause the collapse of the current reality; she goes on to say that those corrupted beings who lack the full ability to envision and understand Reality through manifestation will seek its destruction. This harkens back to Deceptuary and his inability to see the full picture of both the defunct Divine Thrones but also the existence of the Order and the properties that apply to Xyphojinami. During the era of the Divine Thrones, Deceptuary failed to understand the need for the 10 thrones and believed he would become irrelevant among the other deities and rebelled in hopes of toppling those thrones and becoming the sole god of existence.
We can see Deceptuary repeating that error as an exiled deity in Gheisialez—a prison crafted by Lord Caspierre specifically to cater to Deceptuary’s fears and gravest of mistakes. From here, Deceptuary actively tries to soil and ruin Xyphojinami through his influences despite not understanding the realm himself. Deceptuary was cast into exile and barred from influencing the elder realm of Xykopsysomi; his previous Divine Throne was ended by Lord Vuetenexzyei as well. This meant he was both locked from manipulating the elder realm but also was not involved in the creation of Xyphojinami, Realm of Mortals. Through this circumstance, Deceptuary and all who follow him under his influences lack the ability to perceive full Reality and seek to destroy that which they do not understand. Taeh edits this understanding down to two short lines here:
There are forces that threaten to break down those barriers of Realmly Structure, plunging all into chaos. The removal of the bones will collapse all of Reality for the goal of total oblivion.
Only in the eyes of those lacking the ability to perceive the full sense of Reality through Manifestation, would they seek such a despairing state.
Taeh then moves the focus of her carefully curated lecture to how Manifestation affects people on a more personal level. She explains that through the Manifestation of Reality—the structure and properties that create existence itself—we are able to perceive that existence before us and of us. We can perceive our own existence and our own realms and worlds through this Manifestation. Taeh then warns that we can also fall into existential collapse via corruption if we don’t manage ourselves. Taeh belabors the point that Reality’s structure depends on our ability to manifest the power to perceive it as all of existence depends on the ability to know of and to perceive said existence. Corruption aims to destroy that perception, and it is the job of the new “celestial seeker,” that being Soylantasia herself, to watch for those fissures in Reality and to mend and reform those properties. We, too, can watch for such breaks in our own perceptions and keep true to the Realmly Truths we understand and care for. Doing so will prevent Deceptuary, the “deceiver,” from spoiling our perceptions and our reality. We see this final part synthesized in Taeh’s finishing recount:
In localized case, the Self is dependent on Manifestation to perceive its own existence. The Self is structured much the same. A personal Reality. Without care, and with malevolent intent, the Realmly Structure of the Self will collapse in same fashion. Devastation is assured.
It is then that, which understanding of our own Reality, as Beings of Existence, Spirits, Mortals, Nature, that we manage these Realmly Structures and perceive ourselves and that around is, All Things, with care and consideration. Without this attribute, we perceive and see nothing, experience nothing, and are nothing. Reality Collapses and there is nothing.
And that is the entire lesson, much shorter but perhaps a bit more conceptual than others. The lesson is simple: Existence relies on our ability to Manifest and perceive Reality, Deceptuary seeks to break that perception and plunge us into oblivion, and it is the job of both the Child of Reality but all who follow the Order to prevent those breaks in Reality itself through seeking and utilizing all the other Sacred Lessons and the Realmly Truths they offer to defeat Deceptuary’s attempts to break reality.
With the lesson understood, we can now move to the hymn attributed to it. This hymn, named after the Child of Reality aptly, tell somewhat of a story along with an almost scientific call to understanding. The hymn gives homage to Lord Caspierre and Taeh without invoking either of their names directly, and essentially prompts Soylantasia, the scholarly and adaptive Child, to seek the celestial beyond and understand the Fabric of Reality so that she shall know when to act upon mending it and reforming lost properties destroyed by corruption. Let’s take a look at the hymn, shall we?
Ah~
Sight of Light…
Sight of Light..
Sight of Light.
Sight of Light!
Vision,
True name of Sight.
Become the eternal light.
Shadow, cast from beyond.
Silhouettes of the Gods.
Cast from the abyss.
New realms of divinity.
Celestial seekers sleep in bliss.
Manifest true Reality.
(Abstract, Deconstruct, Reform, and Adorn)
Excellency, passed through cosmic blood.
Handle the threads of Reality’s sewn weave.
Cradle the truth of Existence.
-And bring peace through tranquility.
You shall now embark.
Hold the Light and the Dark.
You shall now manifest.
Child of Reality, seek beyond.
Take the stars, transformed into threads.
Woven through the Cosmos.
Webs of otherworldly dreams shall ensnare.
Envision, extraordinary Reality.
Young celestial seeker.
So told from your guide, privy to the elder dream.
And let the Celestial Mother bestow Her excellence.
This hymn is very spiritual and almost mind-altering in its breadth of musicality and airiness. Meant to be sung entirely by a choir of adult women, the hymn shall follow a unique shifting in time signatures and choral flow, and idealistically would be accompanied by instruments such as chimes, bells, and glass harmonicas. The hymn is meant to invoke feelings of cosmic wonder and curiosity—a subtle and technical awakening of the mind to look up at the stars and to seek celestial revelations. As followed in the footsteps of the original Celestial Seeker Taeh, we are invited through this ethereal choir to also look at the celestial beyond and appreciate the excellency of Reality manifest.
We shall conclude here for today. In our final installment, we shall go over the 9th and final of the Sacred Children and their lesson—that being Sacred Child Ahnvouyosia, Child of Love. Until then, have a blessed Sacred Day!
