• Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. This past Period we have gone over actions against evil that Xyphoites should take under Yrridthmas. We have completed that last week, and so this week I will be doing an overview of the Caishon Xyphozon to keep up with the trends. I will be going through a brief review of the key figures of this Xyphozon—that being the Lord, His Hayle, and the Sacred Child of Elements. Let’s start.

    Lord Caishor is the God of Elements and Spirituality. The very building blocks of all of existence, spiritual particles, are sourced to His Attributes. In order to build a house you need bricks, to build a body, you needs cells, and in order to build a spirit you need spiritual elements. This is the power of the attribute of Elements. In the case of Spirituality as an attribute, this would then include the practice of Sanghjei, or Spiritcast, as Lord Caishor’s jurisdiction as well. The Spiritual manifestation of action itself is His power. Lord Caishor Himself is just as rigid and staunch as the bricks of reality He spawns, having little patience for the likes of Deceptuary’s vandalism or much of any other dubious actions from others. As Sanghjei would demand, the Lord is a being of decisive action, as would Sanghjei itself.

    While the Lord is spawning spirituality, He has His Highest Archangel at His command and side. Hayle Knie was once known as one of the most powerful and Legendary Shiupsyodon who once spent his time prior to ascension conquering realms and amassing one of the largest legions of followers of any Great Spirit. At the time, he was known as “Conqueror Knie,” and lived up to his name. Truly, at the height of his reign, Knie’s legend and power were only rivals by that of Kizu, the Primordial Spirit. His immense power and decisive nature caught the attention of Lord Caishor, and the Lord recruited Knie to be His Divine General against Deceptuary’s forces; Knie himself devastated much of Deceptuary’s forces on his own—demonstrating his great power. Upon ascending to Hayle Status, Knie would waste no time in teaching the Child how to Practice the Philosophy, to fight, and to master his powers and skills. Otherwise, Knie stands as the commander of the Mage Angels that defend the Sacred Realm.

    Speaking of the Child, Sacred Child Usakisia is known as the Child of Elements, and he truly embodies both the Lord’s nature and the Hayle’s brash drive.  Usakisia, in his Sacred Lesson “Elemental Force,” is stated by Knie to be a Child of few words who was both internally impatient but headstrong and ready for the challenges ahead. Knie would remark that both have little need to conversate and spent most of their time with intensive training instead, which Usakisia preferred, having wanted to master his powers and form himself into the perfect warrior for the Order and to fulfill his duty as the Sacred Child of Elements.

    These are the three key figures of the Caishon Xyphozon, a Xyphozon based off of the Spiritual Elements, Sanghjei, and Action or Practice. The roll of this Xyphozon is largely to make Practice a force for Prayer to take flight.

    Finally, we do the final weekly reset. Rest and Pray today, return your faculties and balance your spirits, and then stretch out, get up, and run. Evil is a marathon match, so we too shall outpace evil with our Prayer and our Practice. Have a good rest of your Sacred Day and the rest of the Lord’s Period of Watching.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We’re back for the final installment of our “Actions against Evil” series. Today, we’ll be addressing the updates involving what the Ordinance and Xyphoites as a whole can do together as a community to combat and defend against Deceptuary’s evil under Yrridthmas designation. We’ll also address our secular audiences who may not believe in the Philosophy but recognize the objectively cruel behaviors of key factions across the globe and want to help any way they can. Let’s start.

    The Ordinance itself, under this current echelon, has the agenda of using openly verbal and materialistic means of defending against evil. As any long-time readers have noticed, our Commentary has shifted significantly from simply teaching about the Philosophy to directly addressing issues happening all across the world. We often name specific cases by name, relate them to the Philosophy, identify the fault or evil in those situations, and state the Xyphoist response to them. My colleague Vox spent their entire Period addressing several of those issues, for example. My general understanding is that most of our Commentary from here on out will be much more specific in picking out key problems and examples of corruption in the world and how to address them from a Xyphoist standpoint. This is the “verbal” or outward expression as dictated in the criteria for Yrridthmas that we’re talking about.

    Materialistically, we intend to use any resources or funds we accrue for the Ordinance and apply those funds and resources to helping mitigate the suffering of others caused by corrupted forces. This generally means making charitable donations of any funds we receive, organizing or mobilizing persons to help volunteer to help in critical situations, advocating for vulnerable demographics or groups that are often the target of evil’s petulance, and setting up spaces of safety and sanctuary for both those vulnerable populations but all persons seeking relief from this onslaught. Our Ordinance site is where all these efforts will be updated when we have the resources necessary for those operations, and we must reiterate that the Ordinance site is the current page for Project Sacred Hill—which is technically a secular operation open to all volunteers and benefactors and will be run in a secular fashion independent to the religious nature of the Ordinance itself.

    For all our readers here who have simply been peering in but aren’t religiously-affiliated to the Order but are interested in helping mitigate the cruelty of the world anyway, there are plenty of secular, non-religious things you can do if you so choose to; this also applies to those of other religions who wish to help against some objectively cruel things happening as of late. First and foremost, if you care for our recommendations, always looking at things from a human empathy standpoint is pretty standard. It’s far too easy to be cruel, but seemingly challenging to be kind. We’re currently witnessing very sinister forces at work whose only true goal is spreading misery and wrapping themselves in all different types of hatred. Always recognize that everyone has a story, everyone has a pain somewhere, and much of this is inflicted by the conditions of our own societies and the cruelty and carelessness that inflict them.

    Advocacy for human rights and civil rights in whatever organizations you choose to or are currently affiliated is a big thing that non-Xyphoites can do. We are all human here, we all enjoy our rights, and we all want to make sure we keep them and that others can be liberated in the same fashion. This is a global issue, as so many incidents of human rights abuse sicken this planet. Advocating and understanding these issues by standing informed and educated is a great way to help. Once you stand up for yourself, stand up for others so they can too stand up for others.

    We touched on the Xyphoist perspective on wealth before, and how in our Ordinance, those of us who are wealthy wield a special kind of societal power and are morally and spiritually obligated to use it for the greater good. Speaking back to the Philosophy, a wealthy Xyphoite should not hoard the excesses of their power when great suffering is taking place—as it is now. Those who are of this status should use this blessing for the good of the world, to mitigate the worldly suffering caused by Deceptuary’s evil. Donate to help those wronged by evil, understand that hard-working tip-dependent worker is doing the best they can and tip them well. Use the excesses of your power just as Nature uses the excesses of Its spirituality to give you the existence you enjoy now. The suffering of the world is much like a plague, if you don’t help contain it, such suffering will touch you too. Just as a core tenant of the Philosophy, worldly self obsession and greed are abhorrent, and one cannot be a good Xyphoite and be sickened with extreme avarice.

    For the non-Xyphoist side, we still encourage charitability, but once again, we are not here to preach or tell you what to do, only if you want the recommendation, we would recommend that as a good starting point.

    Before I ramble on too long, I think we get the drift. Human empathy, charitability, call out evil when you see it. It’s pretty cut and dry.

    Finally, it’s time for the weekly reset. Remember to rest when you need to, collect and care for you mind, care for others, stand back up, keep marching. Evil isn’t stopping and neither shall we. Have a good rest of your Sacred Day. Next week we will do an overview of the Caishon Xyphozon and its key figures.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We’re back, and today we’re continuing with our Period long series on actions we, as Xyphoites, are taking now that Yrridthmas has been declared and our world is under siege from corruption like never before. Last time we spoke on personal affirmation to keep yourself grounded and to reset yourself for the next wave. Today, we will talk about how we are to conduct ourselves under Yrridthmas in regards to theigrits who seek to cause harm to us or others.

    We touched on this topic last Auvriile in a previous Commentary, and all that was true then is also true now. However, with the declaration of Yrridthmas, we now add on tangible actions and very forward verbal countering to the mix. As it still true, we aren’t going to commit any Immoral Acts, but in the case of theigrited attack, we will still defend ourselves and the innocents who fall victim to said attacks. In this higher echelon, we are now allowed to “dress down” the attacks and rhetorically dismantle them on the spot without invoking any reference to our own Philosophy. Anyone who is savvy enough with rhetoric understand how take apart someone’s words or actions and demonstrate the harm found within. Therefore, in coordination with personal defense and with defending and deterring attacks from the innocent, we are currently allowed to verbally dismantle those attacks and levy hard criticism of the attackers for their actions. We can call out the hypocrite for doing exactly as they preached against. We can now point out the inhumanity of evil actions. We can now audibly dress down the evil and reveal to all how pathetic evil really is, and we can do this without invoking our own Philosophy and simply use logical reasoning and human empathy do so.

    One thing about evil, and especially theigrited evil, is that said evil is petty, easily provoked, and bathed in Hubris. Nothing deflates evil like exposure to Truth, and with this echelon we are now allowed to bring these Truths to light in such a way that we aren’t invoking our own Philosophy. This handling of evil must be done with tact, however, and shall not be done with haphazard disregard. We are both thinkers and fighters when the need comes, but we are not barbarians or cavemen. As with all things involving Xyphoist Action, Practice requires…well PRACTICE. Think beforehand, observe the situation, take decisive action, and handle it with prowess and competence. Evil is foolish but it is also destructive and irrational, and mishandling your response to attacks can result in total mayhem and harm.

    As said in the last entry, my posts this Period are mental resets for the week to keep you on track and grounded with reality. We’re in trying times, stress is high, life is hard, but we shall not falter in this era or any yet to come. As with the ancients, who made the ultimate sacrifice to bring us all these Truths today, we must persevere. So remember to take the time to rest and to follow the readings of the previous Commentary on personal affirmations. Then, reset, get back up, stretch, and get back out there to conduct Prayer with Practice. Evil can wear you down but any blade can be sharpened. Sharpen your mind, your resolve, and your readiness for what is to come. Have a good rest of your Sacred Day.
