  • Commentary 27: Heaven and Its Terms

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We rejoin together here in this digital Sacred Ground for another week of discussion—specifically on topics regarding the Kyaius Xyphozon. When last we met, we spoke of Free Will in regards to Life. Today I’d like to take the discussion away from our lives here in Xyphojinami, and speak on the Afterlife. Let’s talk about Aerigeth, Sacred Realm of Life and Spiritual Regulation and the Kingdom of Lord Kyaien with a specific focus on a section of Aerigeth known as Heaven.

    Before we begin, it’s important to define Afterlife in Xyphoist Philosophy. Afterlife is the period after a Soul’s Death in Xyphojinami and before said soul is fully scattered back into the Spectrum as free spirituality. As such, this is the period in which the Soul moves through the various Pathans that it is destined to follow. As most of the discussion on Pathan movement falls more into the Vuetenexian Xyphozon, we’ll shorten this part of the discussion and focus on the specific Kyaius Pathan of being granted a Term in Heaven.

    Heaven is a section of Aerigeth where rightful Souls that have recently departed Xyphojinami through Death go as a reward for good tenure in their last Life as a Mortal. A Term in Heaven is the period granted to these select rightful souls to enjoy their reward. During this Term in Heaven, those rightful souls will be granted a peaceful and blissful rest in a dreamlike sleep filled with all the pure and morally-sound desires they had in their previous Mortal Life, and as all Time is relevant and Cosmic, Souls will be able to spend their Heavenly Dream with the Souls of all the loved ones that have already passed while being able to sense and spiritually witness the Love and Happiness of those who are still alive in Xyphojinami. Pain, sorrow, suffering, etc. are no longer present in this Heavenly Dream.

    However, this Term is not a permanent stay. Although the set period is relevant and not specified, the Heavenly Dream, as it goes on, will become more dreamy and hazy as the Soul slowly drifts off into a blissful sleep. Eventually, the Soul will slowly fall into Heavenly Sleep—signifying the end of the Heavenly Term and the consciousness of the Self of the Soul. Once fully in repose, the Soul will then continue the spiritual cycle and be broken back up into free spirituality and scattered out into the Spectrum as all spirituality must.

    So, then we must ask: what is a “rightful soul” and who/how do you become one? Simply put, any Mortal Soul who had good tenure and action within their last Life before dying can be granted a Term in Heaven. This applies to ANY Soul that has good general tenure, has not committed rampant immorality, and hasn’t committed Great Acts of Theigritry—which means non-Xyphoites and even theigrits who themselves haven’t committed immoral acts or Great Acts of Theigritry can be granted Terms in Heaven. The Order and the Lords recognize that simply being a follower of a divergent philosophy—particularly one of theigrited origin—isn’t itself a reason to cast them to either Terigath’s Hell nor deny them a Term in Heaven. There have been plenty of mortals who, despite being of a theigrited philosophy, have spend their time in Life doing as much good for the world as they could—often time invoking their theigrited faith as the reason why. Regardless, Heaven is a reward for any soul of good tenure.

    With that said, we conclude today’s Commentary on the explanation of Heaven and its Term. We here at the Ordinance hope you have a Sacred Day!

  • Commentary 26: The Power of Will during Life

    Greetings, all, from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome to the first day in the Kyaius Period of Jumé. This period will be looking into and celebrating the wonders of Life and of Free Will, speaking of Aerigeth’s Heaven, and so much more as we direct our theming on the topic of the Kyaius Xyphozon. Today’s topic is on the divine attribute of Free Will and on Wills in general. Read on ahead with us!

    Free Will is a divine attribute of Lord Kyaien, and is the power within a spiritual being to self-determinate their path in existence—especially in Life. All spiritual beings are granted liberties from the Lords; and in being bestowed these liberties, so comes the authority over self-determination. In Xyphoist Philosophy, we tend to see Free Will as a great gift but also one of the most variable powers of the spirit—particularly with its impact on the Cosmos. The Cosmic flow of Natural Development and of Divergence allow Free Will to act upon itself in whatever way an individual chooses—both positive and negative. In fact, the whole purpose of Natural Flow along with Divergence is to allow Free Will to function.

    Free Will, however, is also the vehicle in which corruption can permeate through if an individual falls to immoral acts or theigritry. As the spiritual being has self-action, so can those actions be tarnished by corruption and be harmful. In other Commentary, my brethren spoke of the consequences of those actions and the means to prevent them from happening in the first place, so I will only briefly say that maintaining inner equilibrium and fighting corruption and immorality are key to preventing those outcomes

    Will, in the general sense, is simply defined as the desires and inner directives of the Core and Self. As we’ve seen in Deceptuary’s case, he has been transferring his Wills into Xyphojinami as vessels; we can observe his most coveted desires in the form of the Wills he cuts off his being and forces into mortal vessels.

    The Lords themselves have Wills as well; the entire reality we exist in—the Spectrum itself—is the Will of the Lords. The Order is the Will of the Lords, truly all the virtues of Xyphoist Philosophy is the Will of the Lords.

    We as mortals have our own Wills. For myself personally, I chose to make this Commentary about my Will to speak on Will today. I could’ve chosen another topic, but today I chose to speak about Will. That is the power of having Wills and of having Free Will.

    Sometimes you will encounter those that seem devoid of Will—that they truly have nothing of desire or any goal to obtain. We have loosely categorized people like this as “seekers of nothing,” which is still technically a Will—simply a Will to seek nothing. There’s actually nothing wrong with being a seeker of nothing, as the whole purpose of Free Will is to act freely on oneself. In fact, it is very possible for people to serve goals in Life and still be seekers of nothing. Those that perhaps have no ambitions for themselves but have either been tasked or chosen to serve purposes they may not even want to do can still have goals to achieve and not particularly desire them. Although there’s always the freedom to refuse these jobs to their own avail—as would be a free choose—they can still be seen as seekers of nothing either way.

    Naturally, “seekers of all things” exist—those so goal-orientated they seek all that they can before their time alive extinguishes. Ambitious indeed but so long as those Wills aren’t used in nefarious or corrupt means, there is no right or wrong in doing so. Most of us seem to fall in between—although for my brethren and I, we very well can be seen as highly seeking at least the goals of the Order, although I cannot speak on the others on their passion, it is well-seemed that we’re passionate about our work here and beyond. Regardless, the aggressiveness of Will-seeking isn’t an action that is subject to judgement. As the term suggests, Free Will is free. Use it or don’t, you have that freedom to do so in your time alive.

    With that said, I’ll conclude here on this for now. Thank you for reading and have a Sacred Day!

  • Commentary 25: Nature of Life and Death

    Greetings from the Ordinance and Order! This appears to be the final entry of Commentary for this Maiye Period on Nature, so just as we started in verdant bloom and freshness, so should we end with the natural decay, rot, death, and recycle of our mini-series on Nature. Aptly so, we will spend today talking about Nature in regards to the cycle of Life and Death with a focus on mortality in Xyphojinami.

    Of all the rules of existence as Mortals in Xyphojinami, none are more eternal and unquestioned than the cycle of mortality itself, and that it begins as Life and ends as Death. A seed planted—spawned from the reproduction from previous Life—is nurtured and grows into a fresh budding flower. The flower reaches its full bloom, spreading its seeds for Life and lasting long enough to do so. Perhaps the Flower enjoys a period of peace before the natural wilting begins. The blossoms fall and they’ve served their purpose, and the coloration fades as it too has exhausted its faculties. Towards the end, the flower grows nimble and meek, slumping into its eternal rest. Inevitably, the flower wilts and succumbs to its natural Death, and the vessel rots and decays as the spirit is released—free and formless—and is given rest before being scattered and eventually recycled.

    This temporal status, that of mortality, is a reality of existence. And one perhaps that could bring about fear, yet is one of necessity. My brethren here in the Ordinance will speak more deeply on their attributes that contribute to both Life and Death, but I come here to link the cycle and process to the facilitator of such things: Nature. Every attribute has its Xyphozon, and each have their duties. When it comes to the root purpose of Nature, it is the facilitator, the manager, to setting force of the various attributes that establish themselves as needed.  Realmly Existence and Manifestation are attributes of Lord Caspierre’s Xyphozon, yet they are facilitated by Natural Flow. Life and Death, the spiritual process, are carried out by the rules in which Nature sets for the conditions to bring about both. The Elements require Nature to define each Elements’ impact and influence in the working realms.

    In short, Nature is the force that other attributes use as a vehicle to move their powers through; it is a medium. It is called the “creating force” by us, the mortals, for it establishes the rules we exist by. While our existence itself is established by all the attributes, it is Nature that rules HOW we interact with such an existence. Nature is the creating force, it is not to be conquered or trifled, and can eradicate all that seeks to best its creator. As we’ve gone through this mini-series, we’ve explored Nature’s various roles and impacts with the goal to help understand this often enigmatic attribute and Lord who propagates it. With that said, we here at the Ordinance wish you all a Sacred Day!
