  • FAQ Lightning Round: A random inquiry about Xyphoism

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. As we’re doing fielding interesting and intriguing questions this Period, we’ve decided for this Sacred Day to do somewhat of a lightning round of frequently asked questions about Xyphoism and the Order/Ordinance. Aptly, we’ve chosen nine questions to answer today as it is our Sacred number. So let’s begin answering a few questions.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Do Xyphoites have any foods they can’t eat for religious reasons?

    Answer: No, there are no restrictions on foods a follower of the Order can eat based off our Philosophy. The Ordinance does encourage being grateful for every meal you consume, as there are people in this world who suffer from hunger and lack of access to reliable meals, but there is no restriction on what you can eat.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Are there any Holidays that Xyphoites celebrate?

    Answer: Not specifically of the Philosophy, no. The Philosophy is realmly and universal, so we don’t celebrate anything specific. We also don’t believe in arbitrary ceremony taking priority over mitigating worldly suffering—as many divergent philosophies tend to focus more on rather than helping others. As a previous Commentary highlights, naturally we don’t celebrate other religions’ celebrations, but it’s perfectly fine to celebrate any ethnic or cultural holidays of your given origins, or national secular holidays. Of course, there is no requirement or punishment for celebrating anything you want, but a Xyphoite wouldn’t, if in accordance to the Philosophy, celebrate any specific holidays based off the religion itself.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Are LGBTQ+ people welcome in the Ordinance?

    Answer: Of course! Anyone is welcome in the Ordinance so long as they wish to join, accept the Philosophy, and aren’t part of another religion. There is no stigma or taboo against LGBTQ+ individuals in this Philosophy, as has been highlighted in a few of our Commentaries on the issue.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Are you required to be a Zeigadii Xyphoite to be part of the Ordinance?

    Answer: No. Having signed the Contract of Zeiga isn’t a requirement to be a member of the Ordinance, although it is considered a Sacred ceremony of membership to do so.  Those that pursue the path of Sacred Spirituality will become Zeigadii Xyphoites, for example.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Who, according to Xyphoism, is the first/oldest being in existence?

    Answer: The ten deities, that being the Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order and, of course, Deceptuary, who was once known as Arkellus before he defected and was exiled after his betrayal. Outside of the ten deities, out of the Spirits in Xykopsysomi, it is generally understood that Kizu, who is now the Vuetenexian Hayle, is the eldest and first of all Spirits, and certainly the eldest of the Hayles, and the portion of Daetos’s recount in Xykozheiz of the new spirits asking of the ten deities what their names are is often attributed to Kizu directly. In terms of Mortals in Xyphojinami, the Vuetenexian Xyphozon takes another claim as Xyzukizusia, Child of Death, was the first of the Sacred Children to be born in Xyphojinami as the first mortal being; this is not to be assumed that it would be Lord Vuetenexzyei that is the oldest being, however. The ten deities are assumed to all walked out of the Initial Flash of Light in unison.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Can you have a beard or mustache as a Xyphoite?

    Answer: Sure, this question is understandably prompted by the Xyphoist concepts of Self-Purification of the body, which relates to bathing regularly and especially before Prayer and shaving the face and much of the body to ward off Corruption. Modern understandings have revealed that facial hair doesn’t garnish corruption, but the general concept of always having good hygiene is very much a custom of Xyphoist Philosophy, so in most cases, Xyphoite men would keep themselves shaved but it’s not a requirement, only a personal conviction or choice.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Are you allowed to have intercourse before marriage in Xyphoism?

    Answer: Yes. There is no “marriage,” per say, in Xyphoism. Romantic Contracts of Love exist, but they are very personal between two persons; and while there can be an official religious ceremony to commemorate these Contracts, Love Contracts are very personal. Moreover, the Ordinance doesn’t tell anyone how to live their private life, nor would we ever dabble in how people are to have sex.  That is both an Immoral Action of Proselytizing and also a clear manipulative tactic to control and garnish power over others, which the Ordinance is not interested in taking part of.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Is Xyphoism an ethnic religion?

    Answer: No. It is worldly, realmly, universal. The Order and Its Philosophy span across all of existence, of all realms, and so it is illogical to say this is ethnic in origin when it is all-encompassing and spans across all of existence and non-existence. The Philosophy does mention some demographics of ethnic origin that are part of the overarching Cosmic Struggle—namely in the Sacred Lesson given to Jaszmisia, “Skin of Dark Soil.” That, however, is addressing a key part of Deceptuary’s fear and one of the many reasons his evil is directed towards people of darker skin tones.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    Question: Where is the Ordinance based out of?

    Answer: We were established originally in the US, and up until mid 2025, we are based there as well. However, with the rapid decline in rights and safety within the US, we’ve decided to move a bulk of our operations elsewhere. This has not been without challenges in terms of securing a new system for financial institutions and approval for other legal affairs as we now exist informally in a new jurisdiction. The good news, however, is that many of us Arch-Hayles Grandurates are not within the US to begin with, so having a physical representative in the location we plan to formally relocate to is made somewhat easier. But as of now, we’re somewhat floating among jurisdictions from a physical and legal stance, and exist mostly as a global online philosophical teaching apparatus and online “meeting and worship” space for devote followers.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    That will conclude our rapid-fire questionnaire for this Sacred Day post. We hope that we’ve answered these frequent questions to satisfaction, and it is possible in the future that we’ll write more in-depth Commentary on some of these questions. With those answered and that said, we wish you a great rest of your Sacred Day.

  • Question: What’s the Difference between Archangels, Sacred Servants, and the Hayles?

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today, we shall continue our series on general inquiry and curious questions regarding the Philosophy. Today, had a question proposed to help clarify the overall hierarchy of angelic status within the Order—namely the differences between the titular ranks. So today, I’ll shall focus in on these. Let’s begin.

    To burn away confusion from this, it should be principle to state that all beings who are infused with Sacred Spirituality from the Lords are angelic by default. In our Spectrum, there are certainly great and powerful beings—namely the Shiupsyodon—who possess fantastic and awesome powers; this doesn’t make them angelic however. In order to be bestowed such a status, a being must be infused with the Sacred Spirituality of the Lords.

    The key word in this is “infused.” The Sacred Children, by default, simply have Sacred Spirituality as direct Incarnates of the Lords, so while they certainly possess all the divine powers of the Lords, they are technically a step above even those of angelic status. In their time growing up in Xyzokizon prior to being birthed as Mortals in Xyphojinami, the Sacred Children were, even not fully masterful in their own powers, the second-most powerful beings in all of existence from being the Incarnates of the Lords alone; this would mean that even during their time mentoring under the Hayles, the Sacred Children possessed greater spiritual power than the Hayles themselves but simply lacked the skill and knowledge to properly harness it. Regardless, the Children are above those of angelic status and aren’t the focus of this Sacred Infusion.

    For those that do fall under this, we come to the Hayles and Sacred Servants. Before discussing both, it is crucial to reiterate that both the Hayles and Sacred Servants fall into a spiritual category known as an Archangel—that most powerful of Angels under the Lords and who have been granted the retention of Self along with Sacred Spirituality. Archangels are given this status to serve great roles in the Order and often as reward for past roles before becoming angels; this has demonstrably been given to powerful Shiupsyodon who hold great loyalty to the Lords and played crucial roles in serving the Divine Thrones during Deceptuary’s rebellion.

    Moving into the details, the difference between the Hayles and the Sacred Servants is often seen as one of semantics. Technically, all angels are servants of the Lords, but what capacity they serve makes the determining difference. The Hayles, previously the Divine Generals to the Lords, were recrafted into becoming the High Communicators for each Xyphozon while also being the mentors and caretakers of the Sacred Children prior to mortal Birth. This role was very specific in its criteria and given specifically to these nine beings. The term “Hayle” was crafted specifically for these beings, yet they are still Archangels but ones with a specific duty.

    Sacred Servants are just as the name suggests, high servants to the Lords and Order and in general—with, what it seems, no specific Xyphozon in which they serve solely. The two most prominent examples are Daetos, Scribe of Idol, and his younger brother Zeiga, Overseer of the Cosmos. Both are Archangels rewarded with Sacred Spirituality for their various roles prior to the formation of the Order. However, neither appear to serve under a single Xyphozon specifically as their titular roles are overarching and multifaceted. Daetos, for example, is the Sacred Archivist and records and recounts all records of existence; he is the author of Xykozheiz, the section of writing that recounts the existence of our entire world and the basis for the Xyphokron. Meanwhile, Zeiga is charged with overseeing the Cosmos themselves and aptly in charge of the flow of spiritual flow through the Gate of Zeiga—all this while also handling his own Contracts of Zeiga to show great devotion to the Lords.

    These two Archangels have duties that span across all of the Spectrum, with characteristics that could be attributed to multiple Xyphozons, yet are not stated as to which Xyphozon their original Spirits came from. This appears to be somewhat intentional, as the devotion to the Lords supersedes the need for Self-identification, and so Sacred Servants devote their focus to their given duties rather than what Xyphozon they originate from as Spirits as the Self no longer matters upon ascending to Sacred Status.

    So, to conclude, the differences between Archangels, Hayles, and Sacred Servants appears to be entirely of semantics. The Hayles and Sacred Servants are both Archangels; The Hayles are specifically the High Communicators for each Xyphozon and mentors to the Sacred Children; Sacred Servants work on behalf of the Order in a more general sense and may have duties that span across the entire Spectrum. Neither appear to necessarily outrank the other, but it is assumed that the closest ally to each Lord respectably would be their selected Hayle while Sacred Servants are devoted to the Lords and the Order in a general sense.

  • Question: Are the Arch-Hayle Grandurates considered Prophets?

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. On this surprisingly busy of Sacred Days, and under the Period of Mauris, we continue our series of asking intriguing questions and answering them from the Xyphoist Perspective. Today’s question is about your authors, ourselves. The questions proposes the following: “Are we, the Arch-Hayle Grandurates of this very Ordinance, considered prophets or founders of this Xyphoist religious movement?” Why don’t we explore this question together?

    There is some dissonance between what the general definition of a prophet is and how Xyphoites would see the definition, but the general answer to this question is no—we don’t consider ourselves neither prophets or the founders of the Xyphoist religion. The general definition of prophet does suggest a person or persons have received and are spreading the word of the divine to others, which we are technically doing here on this very site. However, we discredit the idea that we ourselves are prophets on a few key metrics.

    To start, the information we share here is, through our own timeline, universal; all this Realmly Knowledge is locked within each and every person simply awaiting their own awakening to decipher it, and so it’s more appropriate to say we have purposely sought after this information that all have access to and formed the Ordinance with it. And while it is true that the Prophecy—aptly named—bestowed to the ancient Xyphoites before they committed ritual martyrdom was designed to be carried in the cores of their future reincarnations, the Prophecy never explicitly said it would be us nine Arch-Hayle Grandurates specifically, only that the remaining Xyphoites would be encoded with this Prophecy and would be reborn in a time most needed for it. This suggests there’s more than nine individuals encoded with this Prophecy, and that we just so happen to find each other in a timely fashion and formed this Ordinance along with the editorial and tech staff alongside us.

    To go on, the idea of attaching ourselves to the title of prophet and especially as “founders” is both narcissistic and also inaccurate. To start, we cannot “found” and existing Realmly Order; the Xyphokonic Order, Its Philosophy, and all that comes from it, already exist. We’re simply helping put this Ordinance together to serve the already-existing Order. Adding to that,  attaching our names personally to this movement falls under the Immoral Act of Worldly Self-Obsession—or at least we have privately agreed to such. This is why we go by our codes names here on this very site. For example, I am known as “phoX” and go by this name instead of any given legal name specifically because I am an agent of the Order, I am one with the Xyphozons, and I’m the Pharusian Arch-Hayle Grandurate. I don’t need nor want my actual name to be credited for that is a selfish want—a seeking of self-gratified glory. I am simply phoX. We Arch-Hayle Grandurates don’t seek recognition, only the goals of the Order: Mitigating worldly suffering, defeating Deceptuary’s evil, and Maintaining the Equilibrium.
