Commentary 76: The Consequences of Lies

August 30th, 2025

Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We are joined here for the final of Lord Pharuuii’s first Period of Watching, and as we are expanding the mind this entire Period, we will round out our discussion on Knowledge by discussing not the lack thereof but the intentional poisoning of Knowledge. When last we met, we discussed the evils of ignorance, but today we shall talk about the consequences of lying and falsifying Truths. Let us begin.

Lies are pieces of false information given out with the intention of misleading others or redirecting them from the Truth. In every since of the word, lies are the antithesis to Truth. Now, lies themselves aren’t inherently based on the intention of evil actions, but more often than not, lies cause more harm than good. In the Xyphoist Philosophy, and in particular under the Pharusian Xyphozon, Truth is king. Lord Pharuuii is the God of Truth, Wisdom, and Knowledge, and such, any disembarking from the path of Truth is a path destined for self-destruction.

The Lords have been upfront and direct about the message of their Greater Wills; they have not lied for lying is unnecessary when Truth remains to stand. They are the Lords of this Order and the creators of this Spectrum; they are nine of ten deities, and recognize Deceptuary as the 10^th remaining deity despite his betrayal. They have set this Xyphokonic Order in place to combat Deceptuary’s corruption, and in doing so, have established this Ordinance to work on their behalf. These are Truths we recognize in our Philosophy. However, other Truths, such as that all beings are guaranteed spiritual liberation and are free to follow the Order or not without repercussion, also exist. Truth is simply the reality of existence, and it is neither meant to be comforting or hurtful; it simply is.

And this is where we see the antithesis of lies and how it plays into evil’s hands. After all, once Deceptuary had betrayed his brethren, Lord Kurakku branded Deceptuary with his new name. Once known as Arkellus, Lord Kurakku was so disgusted in the betrayal that He crafted a new name for the traitor. We now know the former Arkellus as Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary—a tarnished name that means “Grand Traitor, Arkellus of Deception.” Taken right from his name and especially from the shorthand of it, Deceptuary is a being that depends on lies to convey his evil. Through all of his theigrited philosophies, lies permeate and spread falsehoods across the lands to paint Deceptuary as anything other than a fearful, pitiful, and evil being. Through those philosophies, he spreads hate, misery, slavery, war, famine, and destruction—all in hopes of breaking the currently reality and trying to replace it with his own.

During his first rebellion, he relied on lies to convince the Cario Lordes and many Root Spirits to believe in him, and his lies were dispelled with Truths from those close to the remaining nine deities. And now, in our current time, Deceptuary’s corruption and meddling in our worlds is dependent on infesting our reality with lies, misdirection, and half-truths. That is the purpose of both the Xyphokron and this Order; we are here to dispel the lies and offer Truths to those that wish to accept them. We, in accordance with our Philosophy, must do so without proselytizing and do so free of suffocating Hubris and arrogance. However, so long as we are in our spaces created by and for us, we may speak freely and in full confidence about our beliefs and Truths.

As of recent developments, we have moved up Echelons to Yrridthmas, which has drastically changed our approach here. While we greatly prefer having to simply teach about the Philosophy in peaceful times, these are not peaceful times. Deceptuary’s evil is on the move and seeks worldly destruction, and such evil demands a rigid and forward response to it. We are released of some of the burdens, and are able to directly call out theigritism and use our humane resources to combat it and to set up the conditions to let evil fall on its own Hubris. And so, to conclude, through the spreading of Truths, one can dispel lies.

Lies only work when you have no tangible Truth to prove them false. Evil will always seek to destroy evidence of Truth so that lies work, and it is the job of the Ordinance and all followers of the Xyphokonic Order to dispel Deceptuary’s deceptions and set up a world where he simply cannot poison with his lies. In doing so, he will fall on his own sword trying his best to make us fall on it instead. The grave he has tried to dig for all of us is the grave he will fall into; it is our job to offer no ladders to evil and to push the dirt atop the pit they dug for us but fell in instead.

Question: What does “Xyphoism” mean or stand for anyway?

August 9th, 2025

Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We rejoin here to continue the expanding of the mind through Xyphoist Philosophy. As mentioned before, this Period is dedicated to asking questions and seeking answers regarding both existence and the Philosophy itself. As we’re under the watch of Lord Pharuuii currently, it would be natural for us to focus on Realmly Knowledge and the usage thereof. Today we answer a question about the Philosophy itself: What is Xyphoism anyway? We’ll go through why the Philosophy is named as it is, what it stands for, and from there you can draw further conclusions on your own about other parts of the Philosophy. Let us explore.

“Xyphoism” is the name of the very Philosophy we Arch-Hayles Grandurate teach here in this Sacred ground, but it is not readily clear what that term even means as the wording isn’t rooted in any specific human language that we know of. This is a Realmly Philosophy—one that, in our perspective, goes far beyond any human language. Instead, it expands to the very origins of our known existence where the Philosophy dictates that the 10 deities emerged from a magnificent and ancient Light and cast their Elongated Shadow to create our existing realms.

From that understanding, the name “Xyphoism” comes from the root term of “Xypho” or its plural of “Xyphos.” In this Philosophy, “Xypho” is broken down in two parts: “Xy” and “pho.” You will notice many of the terms found throughout the Philosophy use the base “Xy” in them. For example: Xyphokonic, Xykopsysomi, Xyphojinami, Xyphozon, Xyzokizon, etc. In the Philosophy, the word “Xy” simply means “spirit” or “spirituality.” When you add in “pho,” which is often written or said in conjunction with “fao” (a word associated directly with Lord Saifaosé’s namesake and therefore with Her central attribute of Love), you can piece together what the rudimentary meaning of “Xypho” is: Spiritual Love. Once the suffix of “ism,” which implies a distinctive doctrine or system of practice, your final product is “Doctrine of Spiritual Love” or more commonly “Love of Spirit.”

In essence, that is the meaning of Xyphoism, a Love of Spirituality, and this phrase is a common understanding among Xyphoites as to what the meaning of “Xypho” is. More specifically, when the Philosophy says It is a “Love of Spirituality,” it is both referring to how we, the followers, should see the Philosophy itself, but more specifically this phrase is referring to the Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order and their Greater Will itself. The Greater Will of the Order is the equalization of the Spectrum to maintain existence, and this is the case because the Will of the Lords is the same as the Initial Will.

For those who have followed along well, we all know that the “Initial Will” in Xyphoist Philosophy is Love; Love is the only Attachment to originate directly from within our Hearts, and is the most devastating to break. Love is the Initial Will of the Lords—they created this existence that we belong to because they Love existence and its ability to flourish before them. The Lords, in the Philosophy, cast out their Elongated Shadow to give an existence and purpose to a once void and disheveled wasteland of nothingness prior to their emerging from the Divine Light of the Initial Flash.

So, to briefly recap, when hearing the name of this Philosophy and religious moment, you can now know what the root of Its meaning is. Xyphoism is a Philosophy adhering to the Initial Will of Love that the Nine Lords of the Order have for maintaining existence. In the end, all of the major tenants of the Philosophy, the Cosmic Struggle the Order works to equalize, and truly every part of the Philosophy itself are all aimed at adhering to that single meaning: “Love for Spiritual existence.”

FAQ Lightning Round 2: More questions about Xyphoism

August 2nd, 2025

Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. It is once again Augrussé, 1^st Period of Lord Pharuuii, and so we have the opportunity to once again direct the Sacred Day posts towards questions of interesting and intriguing discussion to stimulate the psyche and explore the inner workings of the Philosophy. As this is the start of the period, we’ll ease into the discussions with some questions to ignite a fire of curiosity. As said before in a previous Commentary, fearing Knowledge is akin to killing Truths, and that is a trait best associated with Deceptuary. If you would like to read our first FAQ post, you can find it here. But without any further wait, let us answer some curious questions about Xyphoism.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: Is modern science compatible with Xyphoist Philosophy?

Answer: We consider it so, yes. From the perspective of the Philosophy, all science is the localized and proximal study of the existing world or realm in which one currently exists within. As such, the rules and laws existing with Nature that science aims to understand are part of the spiritual existence of the Spectrum and the Order. We don’t target or condemn any such studies, even if they aim to disprove parts of or the whole of our Philosophy. After all, the intended goal of the Order is to guarantee freed existence and liberty to exist as one deems fit, and so we keep our faith close to ourselves and not in the face of others. In other words, you can absolutely keep your Xyphoist faith and fully support scientific endeavors and discovery—in fact, we actively encourage those to do so for we believe scientific research is a useful tool to meeting our goals of Maintaining the Equilibrium. This is particularly true in the case of protecting the environment or fighting worldly suffering on the front of pathogenic research and other medical afflictions.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: What does the Philosophy say about drug use?

Answer: Frankly, the Philosophy says one should refrain from using drugs to obtain a state of unmanageable intoxication. In fact, one of the Immoral Acts is explicitly about regular intoxication and how one should never engage in it. We Xyphoists are realists in most cases, however, and understand that it is implausible to expect people not to engage in forms of intoxication, from the use of alcohol, over-indulgence in digital forms of substance overuse, to the reality that there are many people who are sadly consumed by the addictive nature of hard drugs. In an ideal situation, nobody would use these things to that degree, or in the case of very dangerous substances, at all. The goal as Xyphoites is to hold off the habitual and abusive use of these substances, but you won’t be sent into divine condemnation if you have a drink or two, no.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: Can you share your faith with your family or does it remain personal and private?

Answer: This is where the Philosophy does make an avenue of exception for proselyting. The Philosophy recognizes the power of a close and loving family, and how in the hardest of times, those that you consider family should be the ones you can confide and trust in the most. Therefore, it is both allowed and encouraged to be open about your faith with those you trust most within your immediate family. Parents can share the faith and its teachings with their children throughout their childhood. We hold confident that the lessons and morals of the Philosophy will be to an ethical and moral benefit to our children growing up.

Upon reaching the age of adulthood, however, it is entirely okay for the now adult child to freely choose whether they want to continue the faith or not, and all Xyphoist parents are expected to honor their children’s Free Will and life choices and love them unconditionally. It is the hope that the virtues of the Philosophy will shine through by that time and our children will also see the world as we do, but they most certainly don’t have to, and that’s within their right and liberty. The Philosophy does limit this sharing within the immediate family, so pestering extended family is not condoned nor encouraged.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: What does the Philosophy say about envy or greed?

Answer: Both are extensions of the Immoral Act of Worldly Self-Obsession. Striped to their roots, both envy and greed are results of one being so self-absorbed that they project their insecurities and inability to control their desire to overindulge on others. But we also understand that these are expected thoughts and actions to have, particularly in a world inflicted with Deceptuary’s corruption. In the end, envy and greed come from fear; one may fear others having nicer things than them or having more of something than them. Deceptuary envies the powers of the other deities and desires to have all those powers for himself. Fear is the catalyst for both concepts.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: Will the Ordinance establish Xyphoist schools and hospitals like other religious organizations?

Answer: No, or at least not ones explicitly based on the religiosity of the Ordinance. This is a question we must break into two. Let’s address schools first. The Ordinance is not interested and has unofficially decided to not establish any such preschool, primary, secondary, or post-secondary schools for we believe that would fall under the Immoral Act of Proselytizing and Preaching. The world already has secular schools that, in theory, should teach all manners of academics. And although we recognize the issue of varying educational standards and underfunding, we don’t believe that our Philosophy should usurp or “step in” the place of secular education. We’re more likely to donate to secular institutions of learning instead.

In terms of hospitals or other medical facilities, such as mental health clinics and homeless shelters, we’re less strict on the matter. The Ordinance is able to be responsible for the establishment of facilities of this manner but only through our secular Humanitarian subsidiaries laid out in the Sacred Hill Project. The Ordinance believes increasing access to, at the very least, mental healthcare, homeless shelters aimed at rehabilitating people down on their luck, and placing them in the path to future independent success is a key part of our goal to mitigate worldly suffering. This will include drug rehab centers, mental health and therapy clinics, and helping people get access to the providers and services they need to live successfully despite the state of this world.

___________________________________________________________________________

Question: if the Xyphokron isn’t a holy text, does Xyphoism have a central holy book?

Answer: Not particularly, no. The central story of our predicament, known as the Cosmic Struggle, functions as what one would consider the “holy text” of the Philosophy, and that pretty much just incorporates what Daetos recounts in Xykozheiz as what the current dilemma we face is; one could argue Xykozheiz itself is the holy text but we don’t personally see it as one nor would we be upset if someone were defile or damage the writing in that portion of the Xyphokron. The Xyphokron is a form of scripture, but it is not Sacred; it is akin to a religious textbook and manual. Likewise, these Commentary will eventually be compiled into a series of books, but they too are not sacred texts, only scripture written by humankind.

In the near future, the Ordinance will also publish a series of texts that recount the events that took place in the greater beyond of the context within Xykozheiz. These books, which will be called the “Chronicles of Xyphos,” will go through various eras of existence from the recounts of the Hayles and other ancient figures, including the recounts of the first ten spirits of Xykopsysomi, the era in which the Hayles were caring for the Sacred Children in Xyzokizon, and the early lives of the Sacred Children as mortals leading up to our current time. These Chronicles will simply be supplementary recounts to the Xyphokron, which will still function as our major instructional text. The Chronicles of Xyphos will, likewise, not be holy texts but simply supplementary texts that give a greater understanding to the Cosmic Struggle recounted in Xykozheiz.

___________________________________________________________________________

And with that, we will end our questions here for today. Hopefully, we have answered a few burning questions from our readers and followers of the Order. With that said, we wish you a great rest of your Sacred Day.
