Greetings, yet again, from the Order and Ordinance! Welcome back on this beautiful day under the Lord of Nature’s watch. We return here to continue our Periodic series on Nature; the trend this time around is introducing Nature in its various arms and speaking of how it functions. When last we met, we went over Nature’s thornier side, and what happens when one challenges the creating force. Today, we’re going to talk about how Nature, the creating force, will always rebirth excess spirituality if it so deems it necessary.
Lord Nakndes’s two Divine Attributes are Nature and Reincarnation, and these two go hand in hand in terms of how Nature itself works. We have established now that Nature is the orchestrator of the rules in which our existence stands upon—deciding how our beings are constituted and what would cause our eradication. Naturally, Hubris is the key factor that would lead to existential eradication. The arrogance to challenge, conquer, overuse, or defy Nature itself as a being spawned from it would ultimately lead to that eradication. We’ve seen this in species that become too overzealous and eventually become too burdensome on the Nature they depend on—leading to extinction. In other cases, we’ve seen humans attempt to conquer or defy Nature only to be reminded that the force that spawns our very vessel can punish us with overwhelming force. In every way, Nature decides these outcomes.
So, what happens to parts of Nature that grow old and die out, or are destroyed by the Hubris of others yet didn’t go extinct on their own? This is where the attribute of Reincarnation comes into play and why this attribute and Nature are both Lord Nakndes’s. A reality that may come down hard on those Humans who believe that Nature is meant to be captured is that Nature itself will continue on even after it has eradicated us. If, per say, we as Humans are eradicated by our Hubris, Nature will not simply end; it will grow yet again from the ashes of our remains. The forests we chopped down and burned will regrow, the buildings we erected will crumble to ruin and be reclaimed by Nature itself. The waterways dammed will break those decrepit dams and flow free again. Species in danger of extinction due to human interference will once again flourish. Nature will reincarnate itself in the face of corruption.
In some cases, what appears as destruction is actually Nature renewing itself. Wildfires, as the name suggests, are wild and burn to clear out old brush and let new growth sprout. In some cases, there are plants that can only grow with the presence of fire—such as the cones of Jack Pines, which require high heat to open and seed the lands. Similar to the magic of the phoenix in the fire, Nature will not be fallen as it will always reincarnate itself even in the face of the Hubris of others—for which Nature can remove from the cycle if need be.
We see here the creating force at work yet again, and we are at its mercy, rightfully so as creations of it. In similar fashion, regarding the existence of Daetos Idols, the Cosmic aspects of Nature will Reincarnate souls that are destined to serve a purpose in a later time, such as us nine Arch-Hayle Grandurates and all the followers of this Ordinance. Nature decided, through the Will of the Order, that this time was right for the Rebirth of this Realmly Knowledge to combat the corruption that defiles these worlds—the Hubris that seeks to destroy Nature yet does not understand that it is the creating force.
With that said, we shall conclude this discussion here and go to recess. As usual, we here at the Ordinance wish you a beautiful rest of your Sacred Day.
