• Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. On this final Sacred Day of Lord Caspierre’s Watching Period, we will follow the current trend and speak on the key figures of the Caspierrian Xyphozon—that being the Lord herself, Hayle Taeh, and Sacred Child Soylantasia. Let us start.

    We begin with Lord Caspierre, God of Reality and Manifestation. Lord Caspierre holds the attributes that allow us hold tangible existence within Reality. All of existence is made of elements and spirituality, and the attributes of Reality and Manifestation take that spirituality and crafts it into various forms of existence. Our realms, the properties of these realms, the tangible forms of spiritual beings, and the ability to perceive and interactive with all of this are thanks to Lord Caspierre’s presence.

    Her Excellency embodies a striking creative nature—crafting new realities with the exact properties necessary to fit them. We recount this creative nature upon the creation of nearly every realm. Upon the need to stabilize the fragile existence before the original 10 deities, the crafting of Xykopsysomi and Its properties came courtesy of Her Excellency. Likewise, once Deceptuary’s rebellion had been quelled and the Lords confronted him after his defeat, Lord Caspierre immediately crafted Gheisialez—a far region of near-nonexistence—for Deceptuary to be exiled to knowing full-well that his greatest fear was fading into nonexistence. Deceptuary’s deity status would keep him stuck in this far region and unable to enter the Spectrum created by the Lords.

    Moving onto Hayle Taeh, we can explore Taeh’s constructive and quick-acting nature. Taeh was once a powerful Shiupsyodon in the times prior to Deceptuary’s rebellion. Taeh is most notable for being the earliest of the Shiupsyodon to notice the disturbance of corruption among the realms caused by Deceptuary’s vandalism. Almost immediately, Taeh had recruited a legion of spirits and other Shiupsyodon to help mend the fracturing realms by channeling resonance and creating temporal pocket dimensions to hold the realms in place. This quick thinking and constructive planning garnished the Lord’s attention, and Lord Caspierre immediately brought Taeh onboard and assigned her to investigate these fractures. During the war itself, Taeh and their legion were tasked with keeping the realms intact as the two sides battled—mending the fabric of Reality as the war often disturbed. For their service, Taeh was eventually awarded Sacred Spirituality with retention of Self and deemed Lord Caspierre’s Hayle.

    As a mentor to the Child of Reality, Taeh was a natural scholar and instructor, able to effortlessly teach the Child of the workings of Reality and Manifestation, the mending of said reality, and the ways in which corruption can break it. Taeh’s calm, constructive, and intuitive nature was a perfect match for the role of mentor.

    Finally, we introduce the Sacred Child of Reality, Soylantasia. Soylantasia is described as being a quiet and observant Child. As is the nature of her lineage, Soylantasia is much like Her Excellency and Hayle Taeh—that being quick-thinking, adaptive, observant, scholarly, and creative. In her lessons with Hayle Taeh, Soylantasia naturally took on the academic role as student, and is keen on making astute inferences and observations, able to synthesize information gathered, and adapt to the Reality around her given these new properties.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We move our more serious discussions back to general concepts with the Xyphoist Philosophy and in regards to the Caspierrian Xyphozon. Today we’ll field a question about realms and explain how realms are separated. We mention the two major realms of spiritual collection quite a bit, and sometimes touch on the smaller realms within them, but how exactly do they keep their spiritual flow separated? Let’s discuss.

    We first start by going over the major sections of the Spiritual Spectrum itself: Xyzokizon, Xykopsysomi, Xyphojinami, and Gheisialez. These four sections make up all of known existence. Xyzokizon is the Sacred Realm and home to the Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order, and is located at the center of the Plane. Enveloping Xyzokizon, we have the two realms of spiritual collection—those being Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami. Finally, at the outer edges of this is the region of Gheisialez, which is less of a realm and more of a boundary between existence and nonexistence and is often crumbling and disheveled.

    The one major criteria that dictates how all of these regions remain separated is Cosmic Resonance. Simply put, the collective spiritual resonance of the beings who exist within each given realm create a “bubble” that radiates outward and forms the realm itself. As such, the Spiritual Resonance of the Lords essentially creates Xyzokizon—although the Sacred Realm’s boundaries are slightly more complex than just simple resonance. The resonance of all Spirits creates the boundaries of Xykopsysomi; the resonance of Mortals creates the boundaries of Xyphojinami. Finally, Gheisialez is simply the farthest reaches of those aforementioned realms where the resonance begins to taper off and fade into nonexistence and is distinct enough of a region that it has separation from the lack of resonance.

    This also is true of all the subrealms within the major sections of the Plane. The Kingdom Realms within Xyzokizon are created partially by the resonance of each individual Lord along with other miraculous criteria that keeps them apart. Likewise, all the smaller realms that make of both Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami are made of the resonances of the types of Spirits and Mortals who inhabit them respectively. So, for example, we Humans exist in the Realm of Nikconzin. Our human resonance creates the “bubble” that this realm is.

    Natural Flow has set up these boundaries naturally as spiritual beings formed from Nature. This is also how Cosmic Flow works, as all beings and existence is made of spiritual particles, spirituality flows through all beings and all realms in a constant flow and cycle, keeping the Spectrum stable so long as great corruption doesn’t work to stop that flow and break it. Karseks are also capable of warping through these boundaries but will also cause fractures in the Cosmic walls by doing so.

    So to sum up the answer: the spiritual resonances of spiritual beings—depending on their type—creates the boundaries of the various existential realms.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We are actively taking on the corrupted forces that plague our world as the Cosmic Struggle becomes more volatile. And as we begin these new set of operational Commentary, we will now speak on the Manifested Reality of Sanghjei for Human Mortals. When last we met, the Ordinance had both declared a higher Echelon and also issues Prayers for this unbalanced world to combat the struggle. Now, we shall discuss Manifested Sanghjei and give an example of Human Sanghjei that has just recently come across our radar.

    To briefly recap, Sanghjei means “Spirit Song” within Xyphoist Philosophy, and it can be defined as channeling or Manifesting Spirituality to reach of complete a specific goal. Not to get too deep into the details of Sanghjei as we can save that for a later Commentary, for the Human Mortal, Sanghjei is often a spiritual connection that is pushed into action.

    This spiritual action is how we, as Humans, can make a difference in the fight against Deceptuary’s corruption. As noted before, Humans are the rudimentary form of mortals, and often have low levels of spirituality. Unlike Shianiki, we do not possess the spiritual force to use consistent or powerful forms of Sanghjei. However, this doesn’t mean we are without the means to still channel our own forms of Spirit Song using what spirituality we do possess.

    It’s here where we bring up a tangible and very recent example of Humans using a type of Sanghjei. Prayer and ritual can be vehicles for Spirit Songs to manifest. The example that was brought to the Ordinance’s attention recently took place in New Zealand’s Parliament. And not to get too political, we will briefly explain the general situation.

    A bill brought by a smaller part of the governing coalition within the NZ parliament proposed a bill that would make changes to the Treaty that effectively governs the country; said treaty requires the agreement of both the established government—which is part of the ruling British Commonwealth—and the indigenous Māori natives of the island itself. While not getting directly into the politics of it all, there hasn’t been uniform agreement on these changes between both parties. And while the bill is unlikely to pass the full assembly, something interesting occurred on the Parliament floor.

    Māori members of parliament initiated a haka in protest of the proposed changes to the Treaty. Briefly explaining for those who don’t know, haka are a variety of ceremonial dances in Māori culture accompanied by rhythmic vocals and are often used for various purposes. This time around, this ancestral dance was used as protest, and in doing so, manifested what we in Xyphoist circles would see as a Human Sanghjei. The powerful display of the haka, started by one MP and then immediately intensified into a roaring choir across the gallery and floor of the assembly hall, captivated the world while achieving its goal of halting the vote. The passion displayed during this haka was otherworldly—as if the spirits of  past lives where channeled and reanimated through the participants.

    Immediately, we here at the Ordinance recognized the sheer spiritual force of this display as a Human Sanghjei—a Spirit Song manifested as a form of resistance and ancestral pride. And while we are, in no way asserting that this is explicitly within the confines of the Xyphokonic grasp, rituals like this are exactly the kind of manifested spirituality that Humans can do to achieve goals and to combat Deceptuary’s evil. We are readily prepared to say this specific haka achieved that very outcome given the circumstances of the situation.

    In conclusion, we have witnessed an example of Human Sanghjei, and seek to inspire all Humans to take their example and also channel their own Sanghjei to resist and stifle Deceptuary’s rampant corruption the likes of which plague our worlds. As the Cosmic situation rapidly changes, it is now time for us to act and to take action.
