Greetings from the Order and Ordinance! Today we’re having somewhat of an informal discussion in regards to some general Xyphoist talk as opposed to a full Commentary. We’re levying a question today, not exactly about Life itself but about the presences of the concept itself in the actual Realm of Living Mortals. In the Xyphojinamic Xyphokonic Calendar, the Vuetenexian, Carneiyean, and Pharusian Xyphozons each have an extra period. Meanwhile, in the Xykopsysomic Xyphokonic Calendar, we see the presence of two Periods for Lord Kyaien instead. Why is that?
As explained in the Xyphokron, the extra Periods of Watching each Lord takes in either Xyphojinami or Xykopsysomi are determined by the importance of the actions taken or should be experienced in the current state of the spirit one is in. In the case of Mortals in Xyphojinami, the period of Life is a time meant to seek Knowledge, partake in Worship, and ultimately be ruled on the eternal reality of Death in the End. Life is the state one is in, but not necessarily what Xyphozons that a mortal will be interacting the most with during Life itself. Xyphoist Philosophy recognizes both Life and Free Will as “gifts” given to us as we are Born—parting gifts given to us from the Lord of Life as our spirit departs Xykopsysomi for Xyphojinami.
In comparison, as a spirit in Xykopsysomi, Spirits interact the most with the flow of Natural Force as ethereal beings, being directly able to be corrupted and therefore subject to immediate Punishment, and ultimately to be ushered into the beginning of Life near the end of their time as Spirits. This would mean the three Xyphozons most prevalent to Spirits in Xykopsysomi are the those belonging to Lord Nakndes, Lord Kurakku, and, of course, Lord Kyaien. The remaining three Lords—that being Lord Caspierre, Lord Caishor, and Lord Saifaosé—have equal influence in both realms and have a single Period of Watching in each.
In summation, our Life and the Free Will we have in it are parting gifts from the Lord of Life, but as we’re living we are more subject to Realmly Truths, Worship, and of course Death while living.
