  • Commentary 74: Souls Interacting in the Afterlife

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We rejoin here again on this Sacred Day to continue our various discussions regarding the general topic of Spiritual Ends. Last time, we touched on the topic of Spiritual Ends in Xykopsysomi. Today, we will focus on the general interaction of Souls that have recently died in our realm and go into the state known as Afterlife, and where and how exactly they exist in such a confounding state. Let us begin.

    We’ll first recap what the Afterlife is. The Afterlife is a state post-death in Xyphojinami where Souls carry out various Pathans before the eventual Cosmic Scattering of their spirituality. In this phase of existence, Souls, still condensed, will be sent first to Desitun for Pathan Designation. From there, they will move to whatever Pathans are appropriate; I have written a Commentary on how this general system works. But the question arises as to how Souls can remain in their mortalized state when no longer in the mortal realm?

    That answer comes in the miraculous state of Xyzokizon. Xyzokizon is the Sacred Realm, the Realm of the Nine Xyphozons, and the domains of the Nine Lords. In this most immaculate of Realms, no limitation exists. It’s important to acknowledge that Xyzokizon is not part of either of the two major existential realms—that being Xykopsysomi or Xyphojinami; it is truly the center of our reality and the core of existence. In this realm, the Xyphozons that exist within it work on a multitude of dimensional levels.

    As mentioned before, the previous legions of the Hayles exist as distinguished residents of the Nine Sacred Realms within Xyzokizon, and those legions maintain their Spirit forms.  Souls in the Afterlife exist in Xyzokizon in a hub-like system on an entirely different dimensional level. As such, Spirits that reside in Xyzokizon and Souls in the Afterlife don’t interact with each other in this system.

    A clear example of this is Aerigeth’s Heaven. To recount, Heaven is a special section of Aerigeth that rightful souls are granted a term blissful dreamlike sleep within until their souls naturally fade and eventually scatter. This section only contains souls in the Afterlife; no Spirits exist within Heaven. Spirits, instead, exist within the rest of the various regions of Aerigeth. It’s also possible that any Archangels, the Hayle, and the Lord of a Sacred Realm exist in their own sections of said realm.

    Regardless, there are separate levels of existence of Souls and Spirits within the same boundaries of Xyzokizon due to their vast existential differences. Another example is Terigath’s Hell, which only has the souls of the damned within it, while the rest of Terigath contains the spirit legions of Hayle Mihe. It’s do to Xyzokizon’s immaculate state and the direct Will of the Lords that these beings can exist in the same realm on multiple dimensional levels. It goes without saying that neither spirits nor souls can breach those dimensional levels. Archangels, the Hayle, and the Lords respectively can move between those levels given their Sacred connections to the Lords that create those realms in the first place.

  • Commentary 73: Spiritual Ends within Spirits

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We join here again to continue our general discussion involving the topic of Spiritual Ends and the concept of Death. This week, we move away from our focus on current events and move into a more scholarly explanation of how the divine attribute of Spiritual Ends manifest in the Realm of Xykopsysomi. Let us begin.

    As we know, in our greater realm of Xyphojinami—the Realm of Mortals—Spiritual Ends manifest as the process of Death; our corporeal vessel fails to hold onto the soul for various reasons determined by Nature, the Soul is let go, and baring any unfortunate suffering, will move onto the Afterlife. That is the Xyphoist definition of Death. The Philosophy dictates that Death must take place in order to keep spirituality moving in the Cosmic Cycle.

    This then would mean that the same would take place in Xykopsysomi, naturally. We know the process of Birth comprises of Spirits passing into Xyphojinami after being mortalized—having their spirit condensed into a soul and then having that soul be placed into a mortal vessel. But Birth is a process of Spiritual Beginnings, not Ends. So, what is the equivalent of Death in Xykopsysomi? The answer is the process known as Spiritual Perishing. It works in a similar manner. While it is true that spirits tend to exist for comparatively longer spans of time than mortals, spirits will eventually perish. The main factor that determines when a spirit will perish is the level of spiritual resonance a spirit possesses; that means that spirits with high or great levels of spirituality have extensively higher longevity. The best example of this are Shiupsyodon, great spirits with such spiritual power they often control whole pocket dimensions and have legions of lesser spirits as followers. These great spirits can exist for eons given their powerful status, and are often slain by other great spirits instead of perishing naturally by time.

    The process of perishing is more rudimentary than the process of Death seeing as no corporeal vessel is present in spirits. In much the same way that things in our world wither and fade, spiritual perishing works the same way. The longer a spirits exists, the more it shall shed its ethereal composition until eventually, the spirit ceases to maintain its own consciousness. Upon perishing, a spirit will then enter the stage where the determination of next Pathans occurs. Most spirits shall perish, be mortalized, and be Birthed as new souls in Xyphojinami. However, certain spirits will succumb to different fates. Dauharouki, for example, are simply cycled within the eternal darkness of Daurzarc; Neishirans similarly perish within Supreme Light, but are not recycled and simply form into new beings from that same light. Cario Lordes, however, suffer a different fate. As spirits that have either been corrupted or have failed to properly form as normal spirits, upon their end, they are ripped asunder and parts of their remaining spiritual resonance are exiled into Gheisialez.

    So, as we can see, Perishing and Death are parallels. Each are a type of Spiritual End, and both occur to keep spirituality flowing between the two major existential realms of the Spectrum.

  • Commentary 72: The Death of Knowledge

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We rejoin here in this space to continue our discussion involving the topic of Spiritual Ends and our current point in the Cosmic Struggle. As it currently stands, we spoke of the Death of Empathy in the previous entry, and today we shall continue that general trend and talk about the Death of Knowledge in our current reality. Let us begin.

    To briefly explain, we speak of the Death of Knowledge in terms of how we, humanity as a whole, have suffered under the plague of ignorance brought upon by Deceptuary’s wickedness. Simply put, the Tale of the Old Flame’s ultimate lesson is the reality that we face currently as the Theigriet poisons our reality with his influence. We, as mortals, are given untold amounts of Realmly Knowledge, and are told that these Truths we hold can be tools to our benefit. Instead, through the Hubris of Humanity, we have taken the Old Flame and have set aflame the lands we live upon. We have burned our homes, we have torched our crops, we have immolated our loved ones, and we have reduced our hopes to ash.

    This, as expected, is part of Deceptuary’s depraved hopes; he desires a hopeless, helpless, and ignorant populous—one easily controlled and easy to garnish worship from. He hopes we fall into such a desperate and fearful despair that the only hope we could ever have is to worship whatever depraved form he wishes to morph into. It is for this reason that you see the rejection of questions and knowledge other than his words within the various theigrited philosophies that operate under his guise. The archaic edicts of the “tree of knowledge” and the taking of the “forbidden fruit” being acts of “sin,” or why questioning “the plan” or the one who supposedly proports it are blasphemy in the eyes of many theigrited philosophies.

    This is entirely the opposite within the Xyphoist Philosophy, and that is almost exactly the point of these Commentaries. We are here to have discussion and to expand upon Knowledge. My colleague Phox almost always spends their two Periods asking questions rather than doing official Commentary specifically to provoke fresh thoughts, to challenge even the Philosophy itself, to seek out new answers and see how they align with our reality, the Cosmic Struggle, and the Philosophy.

    We also always add that these teachings are held within this Sacred Ground, and that we shall never assert them as Truths that all must adhere to or believe in. As you have perhaps noticed, while we do have a very small social media presence online, we aren’t going around advertising ourselves. We did not advertise the release of the Xyphokron outside of this space even though it would’ve increased both the sales and the spread of the Philosophy. We post virtually to only our followers on social media and have no intention of pestering people.

    This is, obviously so among these circles, because of the Immoral Action of Proselyting.—it’s against our Philosophy to do so. And while that certainly makes it more difficult to fight the spread of willful ignorance, it is a part of the liberties that we all enjoy to not be bothered by preaching pulpits. The spreading of Truth is a desirable outcome, but what we fight against most is the spreading of falsehoods.

    This is where the Death of Knowledge falls into this discussion. As Rux has also mentioned, under Yrridthmas, we are allowed to verbally speak out against the spread of lies spread by Deceptuary’s influence. Part of our duties now in the Ordinance is not to preach our Philosophy, but to point out the faults and hypocrisy in Deceptuary’s various ramblings. As we speak, lies are being set up in our reality that we know aren’t true, and it is of the upmost importance that we hold true to the Truths we see and to dispel such lies.
