• 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
