  • Commentary 64: Nature, the Reincarnating Force

    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.

  • Commentary 63: Nature, The Trifling Force

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance! We return on this beautiful Sacred Day to continue our Period-long discussion on Nature. Last time, we introduced why the Xyphoist Philosophy calls Nature the “Creating Force.” Today, we’ll talk about Nature’s rule-making role as it pertains to the more trifling aspects of it—when Nature is challenged by the Hubris of Humanity. So let’s dive into this.

    As stated before, we can see Nature as the “chef” that takes the ingredients and follows the recipe to create a meal or bake a cake; Nature is the conductor of the rules that dictate our existential state. And, since Nature has this rule-establishing role, it would make logical sense as to why trifling with Nature will result in what Hayle Nkes frankly says as “eradication.” In the Sacred Lesson given to Sacred Child Niinkisia, Hayle Nkes is asked by the Child what would happen to those who succumb to extreme Hubris and try to conquer or challenge Nature. Nkes’s response is as follows:

    “…Nature creates the vessel, Natural Rebirth will always Recreate the Nature from which vessels spawn, single vessels cannot and shall never outlast the Natural Root for which they spawn from.”

    Niinkisia follows up by inquiring what would happen to the mortals that try to war against Nature, and Nkes’s response is frank, curt, and absolute:

    “Eradication…The chance of Reincarnation denied, the Self scattered, the vessel consumed by Nature. There would be no Rebirth, it would cease. Nature is a force beyond the power of mortal, and that they shall abide to the rules of it as it creates their only means of containing true form.”

    In this case, Nkes is essentially saying that extinction of the arrogant mortal will be all but assured if they continue to challenge or war with nature, and that it’s the Hubris itself that blocks those from seeing their future destruction as it barrels down on them. We currently face this issue regarding our own situation regarding the climate now. Despite an avalanche of warning signs and sirens blaring from climate researchers, far too many are lackadaisy on the situation at hand and simply dismiss the rise in unusual weather patterns, droughts in places that once had regular rainfall, the bleaching of coral reefs at rates we’ve never seen, lack of cold weather and greenery in the Arctic region, massive flooding happening in parts of western Asia, etc. Truly the examples are endless, yet the march continues to what our Philosophy would boldly say is Nkes’s “eradication” remark. It’s the main reason our Project Sacred Earth is so heavily focused on environmental policy changes and fighting climate change. We are heading towards eradication—not of the Earth itself but of our presence on it through our own Hubris.

    Speaking of Nkes, we shall also talk about her in our Xyphozon review and her role in the trifling of Nature. Briefly preview her, Nkes is the Stirrer of Nature and was once known as the Master of Maelstroms; Lord Nakndes bestowed the power of stirring Nature itself upon Nkes in her status as an Archangel, and the eradication that Nkes states will be the result of challenging Nature shall understandably come from her own stirring itself, but we’ll save the details for the Xyphozon overview.

    With that said, we can conclude by saying that trifling of Nature in Xyphoist Philosophy is akin to trying to put a fire out with using petrol, you will get burned. This links in well with the Tale of the Old Flame in that regard as we are not using the Realmly Knowledge bestowed on us and are choosing ignorance instead. As is the edict said by the Philosophy on this topic: “You shall not conquer the Creating Force.”

    And so we end on that for today! As usual, have a wonder and beautiful rest of your Sacred Day from us here in the Ordinance!

  • Commentary 62: Nature, the Creating Force

    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.
