  • Commentary 40: Why Divine Punishment is Wrathful

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. Today we’ll discuss the concept of the lack of mercy regarding Divine Punishment in Xyphoist Philosophy. While Mercy does exist within the Philosophy, it is a Carneiyean subset of Purity and not of Morality or Punishment. The discussion on Mercy will take place later during Lord Carnyie’s periods.

    The concept of Divine Punishment and Cosmic retribution in Xyphoist Philosophy is commonly referred to as wrathful punishment; as in, the Lord of Punishment is actively casting His disdain for sinners for their transgressions. Going through the chronology for this concept, we revisit the dialogue between the 10 deities upon the reveal that Deceptuary was purposely corrupting the realms during his first rebellion. Lord Kurakku was beside Himself and bathed in annoyance by the willful vandalism of the realms, as it is His duty to handle the Punishment for all that would commit such actions.

    Upon the reveal of the true culprit, it was Lord Kurakku who branded Deceptuary as a high traitor and stitched his dishonorable title to his being before the remaining deities cast Deceptuary out into Gheisialez—a region crafted by Lord Caspierre specifically to send demented souls who committed acts of evil. The Punishment in Gheisialez, as deemed by Lord Kurakku, is to rot away painfully until the entire existence of the demented soul ceases to exist. This form of Punishment from the spirits Deceptuary corrupted demonstrates Lord Kurakku’s sentiment on sin—He loathes sin, is burdened by the destruction that sin causes, and has no patience or mercy for sinners. In the case of general immorality, Lord Kurakku simply discards such demented and lost souls into Gheisialez and allows their own corruption to rot away at itself painfully. Theigrited souls, however, receive a different yet still wrathful punishment.

    Enter the establishment of Terigath’s Hell, a section of Terigath crafted specifically to hold Deceptuary’s power through the Selves that are attached to it. Those that commit Great Acts of Theigritry are sent to Hell in their Death where chambers await them. The soul is sent to Hell where the cold Azure Flames painfully purge the Self and the theigrited energy attached to the Self from the soul’s spirituality. Once purged, the free spirituality is then broken apart and scattered while the corrupted Self is kept in the chamber. For the rest of eternity, the theigrited Self will be tortured in the most horrific ways within the chamber, never knowing peace or growing numb to the suffering. This demonstrates yet again Lord Kurakku’s disdain for having to carry the burden of handling wanton sinners. It is even more apparent that He simply doesn’t eradicate the theigrited Self in the chamber but instead keeps them there to suffer for eternity. This is both to ensure Deceptuary’s essence is kept within Hell but also to show how disdainful the Lord is to sinners who must be kept near His presence by the latter circumstance alone. Because the Selfs are theigrited, and because Deceptuary’s energy must be chambered in Hell, Lord Kurakku must keep the sinful Selfs in His domain and must to listen to their anguished yet deserved screams of pain for all eternity.

    After investigating the circumstances of Lord Kurakku’s Sacred roles in the grand scheme of the Order, it becomes quite apparent as to why Divine Punishment is without forgiveness and with wrath. Forgiveness for sin willingly committed isn’t a concept in Xyphoist Philosophy. Mercy, which would encompass forgiveness, is reserved for those who are either victims of sin or who have commuted immoral acts against their Will, but not for those who willingly commit such immoral actions and cause suffering on purpose.

  • Commentary 39: Skin of Dark Soil and Its relation to Human Circumstance

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. Today we will be going through the Sacred Lesson of Skin of Dark Soil—the lessen given from Hayle Mihe to the Child of Punishment, Jaszmisia. To introduce this topic, we will first go through the lesson itself, explain the impacts on our world, and identify key groups that fall into this lesson today. Let’s begin.

    The lesson of Skin of Dark Soil is a lesson taught to Jaszmisia about the hatred Deceptuary has for the Lord of Punishment, Kurakku. As described by Daetos, Lord Kurakku is said to be of dark complexion, and this trait is said to also be inherited by the Child. Deceptuary’s fear of Lord Kurakku stems from the divine attribute the Lord holds: Punishment. The attribute of Punishment is the power the Lord possesses to purge corruption from spirituality and chamber it within Terigath’s Hell for eternity. As shown in their dispute during Deceptuary’s first rebellion, Lord Kurakku was incensed by Deceptuary’s vandalism of the realms, and made it so that the name “Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary” be crafted in the first place as a result; the Lord would then repurpose Terigath’s Hell not just to hold corruption but specifically Deceptuary’s theigrited energy as well. Deceptuary feared Lord Kurakku for this very reason.

    Moving onward, the lesson was a warning to the young Child, who resembles the Lord, that once they were born in Xyphojinami, Deceptuary would do everything in his power to inflict his fear of the Lord upon all that resemble either the Lord or the Child. The lesson goes on to say that some specific groups including in Deceptuary’s hatred will eventually be liberated from this targeted aggression with the help of Jaszmisia and the other Sacred Children.

    As to who exactly these groups that are destined to be liberated from Deceptuary’s aggression, the lesson explains who falls into this focused criteria:

    “It shall be, thus, the goal to mitigate any future corruption on this front. Those, skin of soil, behoove to the innocence of the land and of the realm, have not cast the sin of brethren or of weak-last relinquishment to the kin of such kind, yet take the brunt of the remainder’s wrath of sin. They, of that captured status, shall be liberated in their indulgence of spiritual conquest…”

    Stated above from the recount by Daetos of Hayle Mihe’s words, those of this dark complexion, who are innocent to the land they sit upon, have not cast any sin or pain to their fellow brethren or to others through the same imperial or oppressive means, have not sold their brethren and attempted to strip the dignity of their brethren with such authoritative power, and who are still the targets of Deceptuary’s hatred and fear, will then be liberated from this evil we know as racism and hate and enjoy an indulgence of liberty and freedom from this oppression.

    From this description alone, we can readily draw a few groups of people that fall into this criteria. The story and lineage of Black descendants of the transatlantic slave trade who are now based in the Americas and Caribbean are clear examples, especially those based in North America. We can also draw clear references to natives of many portions of the global south, Australia, and New Zealand. Many indigenous populations found across the global south and other portions of the world could also be under this case. Naturally, this is only what we know as Earth-born humans. Outward in other realms, there are certainly other cases we as Earth-born humans wouldn’t be aware of.

    Regardless, the lesson itself pertains to Deceptuary using racial hatred as a means to spite any mortal that would resemble Lord Kurakku or the Child out of his petulant fear for the Lord’s power over Punishment. Corruption and Deceptuary’s very essence can and shall be captured in Hell, and the Child of Punishment is tasked with bringing this Divine Punishment to theigritism in Xyphojinami.

  • Commentary 38: Xyphokonic Punishment Defined

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We start our first Commentary of this Zeptimasuer Period on the topic of Divine Punishment—the Kurakkuian attribute of judgement for immoral acts and theigritism. We will go over how Punishment is defined, what the different consequences for immorality and theigritism bring, and the origins of Punishment as an attribute to begin with. Let’s begin.

    Punishment, in Xyphoist Philosophy, is defined as retribution administered on a divine level for immoral acts committed. This, in short, means that Divine Punishment (as the name suggests) is solely the power of the divine beings of the Xyphokonic Order—specifically Lord Kurakku. For this very reason, the Immoral Act of Self-Righteous Punishment exists, whereas anyone outside of the Lords themselves attempting to punish others based of morality shall themselves be punished in return for overstepping this authority on the issue.

    Punishment for sinful actions is determined based off two major categories: Immoral Actions and Theigritism. Going thorough, immoral actions themselves constitute grounds for both Divine Punishment and Cosmic Retribution with both often going hand-in-hand. When talking about immorality, we first should talk about the status of being corrupted, tainted and evil. Mentioned in an earlier Commentary, corruption is the force spawned from Deceptuary that causes all acts of destabilization and immorality. A bastardized form of the original Divergency, corruption prompts beings to become unbalanced themselves and commit immoral acts; therefore, the status of being corrupted is to be inflicted with Deceptuary’s meddlesome force.

    Those who are corrupted and committing sins are considered tainted, and the intentional application of all these statuses together is the state of being evil. Regardless, the willful decision to commits acts of such nature without reflecting and accepting the consequences will result in Punishment. Putting aside the added variable of theigritism for a moment, committing immoral actions, especially pathologically, will result in either Cosmic Retribution of the waves and, upon the end of a form of spiritual existence, being cast immediately into the outer region of Gheisialez to rot away painfully until the sinner ceases to exist. This is the general Punishment for immoral actions not attached to theigritism.

    Great Acts of Theigritism, immoral actions attached directly to that of the Theigriet, warrant a more tailored Punishment. Those theigrits who have committed these actions are themselves infused with the evil of Deceptuary himself—having given the sovereignty of their spirits to Deceptuary and allowing his Will to overtake them—shall be sent to a section of Terigath known simply as Hell. These theigrits, being infused with theigrited corruption, must be sent to Hell, where the dark blue and cold flames of Terigath’s Hell will slowly purge the theigrited energy from the spirit itself. This process, however, is not swift nor painless. Deceptuary’s corruption attaches itself to the Self of beings in a parasitic relationship, and as such, the Azure Flames were created by Lord Kurakku specifically to purge the Self from the Spirit and take the corruption with it. Originally created to lock away corruption before and during Deceptuary’s first rebellion, Lord Kurakku’s Azure Flames now serve to chamber all theigritism within the tombs of Hell.

    Deceptuary’s evil attaches itself to the Self of a being, and it is that Self that is actually imprisoned in Hell. The Self, the embodiment of the person previously, along with the theigrited energy fused to it, will forever be kept in Terigath’s Hell in its own chamber. For the rest of eternity, the corrupted Self will be burned by the Azure Flames and face every imaginable suffering and torture in this eternal sentence—never knowing the pleasure of growing tired or having relief again. The remaining spirituality now purged of Self and corruption is then scattered back into the spectrum as all spiritualities are eventually.
