• Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We’d like to briefly commemorate a second full year of operation and writing Commentary. We’d like to thank all of our readers and new followers of the Order, and give a big thanks to the Ordinance staff and Arch-Hayle Grandurates for the hard work and philosophical insight.

    We’d also like to introduce a new summary page that compiles the core parts of the Xyphoist Philosophy for any new readers hoping to get a quick rundown, scholars doing theological research, or any general passerby reader just curious what Xyphoism is all about. You can find a dedicated link to this page in the navigation panel above.

    As always, thank you all for joining us here in this Sacred space, and have a Sacred Day from us here at the Ordinance!

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today, we shall continue our more general discussion on the Philosophy as we take somewhat of a reprieve from more serious discussion on current affairs. Today, we will be talking about the Hayle of this Period’s Xyphozon and the Sacred duties bestowed upon him by Lord Vuetenexzyei. Hayle Kizu, Foreseer of Death, was bestowed that specific title upon his ascension. Let’s talk about what the title of “Foreseer of Death” truly means in the Philosophy.

    Before discussing what “foreseeing Death” means, we need to recapture what Xyphoist Death is and how the Lord embodies His attributes. Lord Vuetenexzyei, as we went over in the Xyphozon overview, is a solemn and reserved Lord whose attributes of Spiritual Ends are absolute, eternal, procedural, and cold. In the overview, we go through the contrasts between the Lord and the Child, as Sacred Child Xyzukizusia is vastly different in personality and in appearance than the Lord—being more guile, mischievous, scheming, charming, and yet still the absolute mortal embodiment of Eternal Death nonetheless. In contrast, the Lord is the truest form of the End of things; He is adamant, unquestioned, cold, and eternal.

    The Child, as just mentioned, is quite the opposite. As demonstrated in the Sacred Lesson of “The Faces of Death,” Xyzukizusia concludes from his lessons with Hayle Kizu that Death in Xyphojinami would take the form most fitting for each person based on how they see Death itself; this is then reflected in the Child’s own personality, being more versatile and spontaneous than the Lord.

    This then brings us to Hayle Kizu, who fits in as the bridge between these two contrasting beings for which he serves. Kizu, described by Daetos as having a reserved but curious disposition with a fascination for spiritual regulation, juggles the difference between the Lord and the Child perfectly. The Lord embodies Eternal Ends and the Child embodies the versatility of Deaths while Kizu regulates how these Spiritual Ends are to be administered appropriately. This is where the “foreseeing” duty comes into play. The Lord’s existence guarantees that Spiritual Ends are eternal, but it is His highest Archangel that foresees how all of those various ends take place and ensures that they are followed through. That means, through the divine connection to the Lord, Hayle Kizu sees how every spirit shall perish, how every mortal soul shall die, how all things that shall cease in general.

    This is the Foreseeing Authority, and it is a perfect power for a being longing for spiritual regulation as Kizu does. Something akin to a whisperer of Death or a harbinger of Ends, Kizu can foresee every single Death that we experience in our worlds and ensures that they happen through the direction of the Angels of Death; he does so to ensure the Cosmic flow of spirituality between the two existential realms remains constant so that existence is stable. All of our lives appear to Kizu’s vision, and he can see when we will die, how we will die, and what Pathans we shall be destined or fated to once we die. All of this is done through the divine power bestowed to him by the Lord—the Foreseeing Authority.

    That will conclude this Commentary for today. We will also like to preview an extra post on the annual commemoration of the establishment of the Order in two days time. Along with that brief commemoration we will also have a new page up that will give a comprehensive summary of the Xyphoist Philosophy. This will be somewhat of a Xyphoist “quick notes” for any new readers who aren’t quite ready to either acquire a full copy of the Xyphokron or don’t quite have the time to read the abridged series on Xykozheiz. While avid followers and Xyphoites are encouraged to read through both, for those just curious or investigating this religious movement for non-religious reasons, we will have this page available for all to get a quick understand of what Xyphoism is. Until then, have a Sacred Day.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. The Second Period of Lord Vuetenexzyei has begun, and so we shall start this Period of Watching off on the topic of His Beloved Child, Xyzukizusia. Before we begin, I would like to give a short overview of how I intend to conduct this Period. We have been under Yrridthmas for nearly a year now, and have aimed our discussions and Commentary at addressing the rising evil in the world. My colleagues have done a fantastic job dissecting evil and Deceptuary’s plans this past year; I, too, have covered them in the Lord’s First Period of this year.

    As such, I believe it is time for a spiritual break to help ease and stimulate the mind; I intend to, current events willing, keep Commentary and posts this Period on the more philosophical and general sense—including the propositions of questions as posts. Make no mistake, however, we are still under trying times in this Cosmic Struggle, but with the blessing of having two Periods to speak with you under, I will take this opportunity to field in general Commentary that we sorely miss focusing on.

    Back to topic, we are still choosing to focus this particular Commentary on the Vuetenexian Xyphozon. As mentioned, today we talk about the Child of Death and why they were both the first of the Nine Sacred Children to be sent to Xyphojinami but also the first mortal in all of our existence. The question proposed is why Xyzukizusia was the first chosen? The answer lies within the focal purpose of Xyphojinami’s formation under the Xyphokonic Order: Cosmic Regulation. The first mortal of Xyphojinami is the Sacred Incarnate of Death itself—a living being who embodies the attributes of Death. As we know from the Philosophy, Death is Eternal. I covered this concept in a previous Commentary explaining that Death is an Eternal Reality because it allows the flow of spirituality to move between the two Existential Realms of Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami.

    The Lords had already envisioned the creation of Xyphojinami long ago after the creation of Xykopsysomi; they noted that the existence first formed in the elder realm was holding but not entirely stable, and to maintain existence they would eventually have to form a sister realm. Deceptuary’s rebellion and subsequent exile further destabilized existence, and so the need for Xyphojinami to hold spirituality for set periods of time became widely apparent. This is also noted by Kizu, Foreseer of Death and Lord Vuetenexzyei’s Hayle. Kizu’s principal role as an Archangel currently is overseeing the regulation of spiritual ends that ensure the flow of spirituality continues as intended. He, after all, “foresees” all Spiritual Ends that the Lord ensures are eternal.

    And so it is clear that we can understand why the Child of Death would be the first mortal in existence; Xyzukizusia is the physical embodiment of the core concept of mortality itself. In order to live, one must be able to die, and Death is necessary for the constant flow of spiritual regulation to take place and for our existence to maintain. We see why Kizu’s role is spiritual regulation and foreseeing Deaths. It all goes back to Lord Vuetenexzyei’s power of Spiritual Ends and the needed cycling of spirituality via Death and Perishing In the two Existential Realms.
