Commentary 65: Nature, the Rotting Force

May 24th, 2025

Greetings once again from the Order and Ordinance! We return with our Periodic series about Nature as we go through the variety of incarnations of its powers. As you have probably noticed by now, we’ve been covering Nature by its “forces” or forms—starting with Nature as the creating force, moving its trifling force, onward to its reincarnating force, and now finally we are met with the logical conclusion of Nature as the rotting force. So, let us investigate this aspect of Nature.

As we know by now, all things shall enjoy their eventual end, as is the Nature of Spiritual Ends guaranteed by Lord Vuetenexzyei. In the case of Nature, those ends are facilitated by the laws in which Nature creates for us. We explained the creating aspect, a Spiritual Beginning, so with a beginning there shall be an end. After all of creation, the trifling aspects of it, the reincarnation of excess spirituality, there shall then be the logical end.

While discussing the trifling force of Nature, we mentioned how Natural Force determines how something dies or what would be considered deadly within Nature. When it comes to Death in our environment, Nature is once again used as the general medium to conduct that attribute. In the case of the mortal, that medium is the vessel. We, as mortals and more specifically Humans, have corporeal vessels—our bodies. We are born as infants, we grow into adults, eventually there is a point where our bodies begin to age to the point where our cells will no longer replace themselves at the rate that cells shall die out, and that signals the start of the decay of the vessel. Assuming a Human lives a long life and dies simply of Natural causes, the laws of Nature determine that the vessel can no longer sustain itself and Death of the vessel occurs. The vessel loses grip of the soul, and the soul is taken to the Afterlife by the Reaping Angels of Death. That is the course of Death through the medium of Nature as understood in Xyphoist Philosophy. It is natural for the vessel to eventually decay and let go of the soul—in fact, it is necessary to keep the spiritual and cosmic cycle going.

But what about cases where the vessels fails by unnatural means? Say, a car crash or other sudden accident or perhaps even suicide or murder. These are cases where the actions of oneself or that of someone else caused the Death of a mortal. But is it still a “natural death” in those cases? Although the Death is still foreseen by the Lord of Death and by extension, Hayle Kizu, the Foreseer of Death, it is not considered a Natural Death in Xyphoist Philosophy and often one where corruption or simply dubious divergence has claimed a life. In the cases of accidental Death, it can be a case of Cosmic flex simply dishing out an unfortunate but random Death. Murder, however, is always considered an unnatural Death. There are some exceptions where the killing was in self-defense, in which case that would be a Death of Cosmic Retribution. But in cases of cold-blooded or malevolent murder, that is both unnatural and an Immoral Act—namely Belligerent Force. Suicide is a case of corrupted Death, in which the Psyche is poorly-cared for and struck with illness, prompted one to take their own life. This isn’t itself a sin, but does highlight the importance of managing one’s mental faculties. There are exceptions of Dignified Death, in which one chooses Death as a means to die on their own terms and with dignity, such as assisted suicide for terminal illnesses. This is not considered either natural or unnatural and simply a case of Mercy, which follows more along with kyX’s area of expertise.

Regardless, in all of these cases, Nature has set up the conditions to set the eternal reality of Death in motion. To put things more simply: Nature allows our vessels to die so that our souls, sans any unjust wrathful torture, shall move onto the Afterlife and not become demented in the process. As we’ve seen in this series, through all the various incarnations of Nature, we recognize Nature by its fundamental root: the medium in which existence forms on. The conductor or the chef, and the one who gets to stir the Cosmos.

With that said, we will conclude our series on Nature here for the Period. It has been a joy to go through Nature on this level. In our final installment for the Period, we will hold true to the tradition and have an overview of the Nakndsian Xyphozon and its key figures. Until then, have a great rest of your Sacred Day!

Commentary 64: Nature, the Reincarnating Force

May 17th, 2025

Greetings, yet again, from the Order and Ordinance! Welcome back on this beautiful day under the Lord of Nature’s watch. We return here to continue our Periodic series on Nature; the trend this time around is introducing Nature in its various arms and speaking of how it functions. When last we met, we went over Nature’s thornier side, and what happens when one challenges the creating force. Today, we’re going to talk about how Nature, the creating force, will always rebirth excess spirituality if it so deems it necessary.

Lord Nakndes’s two Divine Attributes are Nature and Reincarnation, and these two go hand in hand in terms of how Nature itself works. We have established now that Nature is the orchestrator of the rules in which our existence stands upon—deciding how our beings are constituted and what would cause our eradication. Naturally, Hubris is the key factor that would lead to existential eradication. The arrogance to challenge, conquer, overuse, or defy Nature itself as a being spawned from it would ultimately lead to that eradication. We’ve seen this in species that become too overzealous and eventually become too burdensome on the Nature they depend on—leading to extinction. In other cases, we’ve seen humans attempt to conquer or defy Nature only to be reminded that the force that spawns our very vessel can punish us with overwhelming force. In every way, Nature decides these outcomes.

So, what happens to parts of Nature that grow old and die out, or are destroyed by the Hubris of others yet didn’t go extinct on their own? This is where the attribute of Reincarnation comes into play and why this attribute and Nature are both Lord Nakndes’s. A reality that may come down hard on those Humans who believe that Nature is meant to be captured is that Nature itself will continue on even after it has eradicated us. If, per say, we as Humans are eradicated by our Hubris, Nature will not simply end; it will grow yet again from the ashes of our remains. The forests we chopped down and burned will regrow, the buildings we erected will crumble to ruin and be reclaimed by Nature itself. The waterways dammed will break those decrepit dams and flow free again. Species in danger of extinction due to human interference will once again flourish. Nature will reincarnate itself in the face of corruption.

In some cases, what appears as destruction is actually Nature renewing itself. Wildfires, as the name suggests, are wild and burn to clear out old brush and let new growth sprout. In some cases, there are plants that can only grow with the presence of fire—such as the cones of Jack Pines, which require high heat to open and seed the lands. Similar to the magic of the phoenix in the fire, Nature will not be fallen as it will always reincarnate itself even in the face of the Hubris of others—for which Nature can remove from the cycle if need be.

We see here the creating force at work yet again, and we are at its mercy, rightfully so as creations of it. In similar fashion, regarding the existence of Daetos Idols, the Cosmic aspects of Nature will Reincarnate souls that are destined to serve a purpose in a later time, such as us nine Arch-Hayle Grandurates and all the followers of this Ordinance. Nature decided, through the Will of the Order, that this time was right for the Rebirth of this Realmly Knowledge to combat the corruption that defiles these worlds—the Hubris that seeks to destroy Nature yet does not understand that it is the creating force.

With that said, we shall conclude this discussion here and go to recess. As usual, we here at the Ordinance wish you a beautiful rest of your Sacred Day.

Commentary 63: Nature, The Trifling Force

May 10th, 2025

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!
