  • Commentary 62: Nature, the Creating Force

    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.

  • Commentary 61: The Builder Lord, The Conqueror Hayle, and the Warrior Child

    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.

  • Commentary 60: Actions against Evil “Community Action”

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We’re back for the final installment of our “Actions against Evil” series. Today, we’ll be addressing the updates involving what the Ordinance and Xyphoites as a whole can do together as a community to combat and defend against Deceptuary’s evil under Yrridthmas designation. We’ll also address our secular audiences who may not believe in the Philosophy but recognize the objectively cruel behaviors of key factions across the globe and want to help any way they can. Let’s start.

    The Ordinance itself, under this current echelon, has the agenda of using openly verbal and materialistic means of defending against evil. As any long-time readers have noticed, our Commentary has shifted significantly from simply teaching about the Philosophy to directly addressing issues happening all across the world. We often name specific cases by name, relate them to the Philosophy, identify the fault or evil in those situations, and state the Xyphoist response to them. My colleague Vox spent their entire Period addressing several of those issues, for example. My general understanding is that most of our Commentary from here on out will be much more specific in picking out key problems and examples of corruption in the world and how to address them from a Xyphoist standpoint. This is the “verbal” or outward expression as dictated in the criteria for Yrridthmas that we’re talking about.

    Materialistically, we intend to use any resources or funds we accrue for the Ordinance and apply those funds and resources to helping mitigate the suffering of others caused by corrupted forces. This generally means making charitable donations of any funds we receive, organizing or mobilizing persons to help volunteer to help in critical situations, advocating for vulnerable demographics or groups that are often the target of evil’s petulance, and setting up spaces of safety and sanctuary for both those vulnerable populations but all persons seeking relief from this onslaught. Our Ordinance site is where all these efforts will be updated when we have the resources necessary for those operations, and we must reiterate that the Ordinance site is the current page for Project Sacred Hill—which is technically a secular operation open to all volunteers and benefactors and will be run in a secular fashion independent to the religious nature of the Ordinance itself.

    For all our readers here who have simply been peering in but aren’t religiously-affiliated to the Order but are interested in helping mitigate the cruelty of the world anyway, there are plenty of secular, non-religious things you can do if you so choose to; this also applies to those of other religions who wish to help against some objectively cruel things happening as of late. First and foremost, if you care for our recommendations, always looking at things from a human empathy standpoint is pretty standard. It’s far too easy to be cruel, but seemingly challenging to be kind. We’re currently witnessing very sinister forces at work whose only true goal is spreading misery and wrapping themselves in all different types of hatred. Always recognize that everyone has a story, everyone has a pain somewhere, and much of this is inflicted by the conditions of our own societies and the cruelty and carelessness that inflict them.

    Advocacy for human rights and civil rights in whatever organizations you choose to or are currently affiliated is a big thing that non-Xyphoites can do. We are all human here, we all enjoy our rights, and we all want to make sure we keep them and that others can be liberated in the same fashion. This is a global issue, as so many incidents of human rights abuse sicken this planet. Advocating and understanding these issues by standing informed and educated is a great way to help. Once you stand up for yourself, stand up for others so they can too stand up for others.

    We touched on the Xyphoist perspective on wealth before, and how in our Ordinance, those of us who are wealthy wield a special kind of societal power and are morally and spiritually obligated to use it for the greater good. Speaking back to the Philosophy, a wealthy Xyphoite should not hoard the excesses of their power when great suffering is taking place—as it is now. Those who are of this status should use this blessing for the good of the world, to mitigate the worldly suffering caused by Deceptuary’s evil. Donate to help those wronged by evil, understand that hard-working tip-dependent worker is doing the best they can and tip them well. Use the excesses of your power just as Nature uses the excesses of Its spirituality to give you the existence you enjoy now. The suffering of the world is much like a plague, if you don’t help contain it, such suffering will touch you too. Just as a core tenant of the Philosophy, worldly self obsession and greed are abhorrent, and one cannot be a good Xyphoite and be sickened with extreme avarice.

    For the non-Xyphoist side, we still encourage charitability, but once again, we are not here to preach or tell you what to do, only if you want the recommendation, we would recommend that as a good starting point.

    Before I ramble on too long, I think we get the drift. Human empathy, charitability, call out evil when you see it. It’s pretty cut and dry.

    Finally, it’s time for the weekly reset. Remember to rest when you need to, collect and care for you mind, care for others, stand back up, keep marching. Evil isn’t stopping and neither shall we. Have a good rest of your Sacred Day. Next week we will do an overview of the Caishon Xyphozon and its key figures.
