  • Commentary 49: Xyphokonic Purity Defined

    Xyphokonic Purity Defined.

    Greetings, all, from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back to the First Period of Lord Carnyie, Desentuer. As the next two Periods of Watching are under the Lord’s care, we have ample time to speak on topics revolving the Carneiyean Xyphozon, Purity and Worship, address current events in regards to the Cosmic Struggle (as we’re currently under Yrridthmas), and also field some other general questions from the gallery. Today we will open this discussion with the topic of Purity as it is defined within Xyphoist Philosophy. In this discussion we’ll define the term and go into how Purity works. Shall we?

    Purity is defined as the balance and serenity from wielding the dissonance between the Xyphoist concepts of Misted Unhinged Grievance and Illuminated Shackled Misery in order to bestow Mercy and cleanse the innocent of corruption unjustly wrought upon them; Purity is, of course, an attribute of the Carneiyean Xyphozon.

    To put it simply: Purity is blessing the innocent from suffering, and the key part of Purity is that it is applied to the innocent and not to evil. This is essentially the manifestation of forgiveness within Xyphoist Philosophy. As we know from the Commentary on Divine Punishment, Xyphoist Philosophy leaves no room for forgiveness to evil, willfully corrupted and tainted actions; for those individuals who have the intent to do evil or who intentionally succumb to immorality, only Punishment awaits them. Purity, and by extension forgiveness through the Mercy that Purity brings upon, are given to the victims of evil and immorality that may have been forced to commit immoral acts or are in need of Mercy from their unjust suffering.

    Purity is broken down by two major sides: Misted Unhinged Grievance and Illuminated Shackled Misery. We first learn of these concepts within the Sacred Lesson given to the Child of Purity. Misted Unhinged Grievance is the principle that demonstrates a raw, genuine and pure emotional response to trauma and pain/suffering. This state of Purity satisfies the need of others to see the caster of this blade being true and pure to themselves—showing those that  need that authentic emotional response that the caster is also being empathetic. The caveat to this side of Purity is that it comes with a misted blindness as the pure emotional response often clouds one’s judgement.

    On the other side of Purity is the principle of Illuminated Shackled Misery, which is the state of being free of corruption but chained to a stasis of oblivion.  In bringing this type of Purity to others, granting them Mercy through the lack of pain, the caster  of the Purity shall be shackled to the guilt and reservation of such a misery but have a clear and illuminated serenity at the action. To sum it down, Illuminated Shackled Misery is taking upon a personal sacrifice in order to bring relief and Mercy to others, and by doing so, one takes a burden upon themselves—often in the form of a guilt at bestowing a Mercy to others. We often here of examples in which people “put them out of their misery;” this is but one example of this. Taking upon huge burdens in order to alleviate the suffering of others also falls into Illuminated Shackled Misery.

    These two principles have a natural dissonance between them, and as the Sacred Lesson states, a person with great internal conflict and dissonance inside themselves. People of this state understand the need for Mercy the most, upon taking the huge sacrifice, will be empathetic enough to try to bring that Mercy to other innocents that are suffering. Essentially, the purpose of Purity is to bring Mercy and eradicate corruption and suffering from Innocent souls.

  • Commentary 48: The Inventive Lord, the Constructive Instructor, and the Adaptive Child

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. On this final Sacred Day of Lord Caspierre’s Watching Period, we will follow the current trend and speak on the key figures of the Caspierrian Xyphozon—that being the Lord herself, Hayle Taeh, and Sacred Child Soylantasia. Let us start.

    We begin with Lord Caspierre, God of Reality and Manifestation. Lord Caspierre holds the attributes that allow us hold tangible existence within Reality. All of existence is made of elements and spirituality, and the attributes of Reality and Manifestation take that spirituality and crafts it into various forms of existence. Our realms, the properties of these realms, the tangible forms of spiritual beings, and the ability to perceive and interactive with all of this are thanks to Lord Caspierre’s presence.

    Her Excellency embodies a striking creative nature—crafting new realities with the exact properties necessary to fit them. We recount this creative nature upon the creation of nearly every realm. Upon the need to stabilize the fragile existence before the original 10 deities, the crafting of Xykopsysomi and Its properties came courtesy of Her Excellency. Likewise, once Deceptuary’s rebellion had been quelled and the Lords confronted him after his defeat, Lord Caspierre immediately crafted Gheisialez—a far region of near-nonexistence—for Deceptuary to be exiled to knowing full-well that his greatest fear was fading into nonexistence. Deceptuary’s deity status would keep him stuck in this far region and unable to enter the Spectrum created by the Lords.

    Moving onto Hayle Taeh, we can explore Taeh’s constructive and quick-acting nature. Taeh was once a powerful Shiupsyodon in the times prior to Deceptuary’s rebellion. Taeh is most notable for being the earliest of the Shiupsyodon to notice the disturbance of corruption among the realms caused by Deceptuary’s vandalism. Almost immediately, Taeh had recruited a legion of spirits and other Shiupsyodon to help mend the fracturing realms by channeling resonance and creating temporal pocket dimensions to hold the realms in place. This quick thinking and constructive planning garnished the Lord’s attention, and Lord Caspierre immediately brought Taeh onboard and assigned her to investigate these fractures. During the war itself, Taeh and their legion were tasked with keeping the realms intact as the two sides battled—mending the fabric of Reality as the war often disturbed. For their service, Taeh was eventually awarded Sacred Spirituality with retention of Self and deemed Lord Caspierre’s Hayle.

    As a mentor to the Child of Reality, Taeh was a natural scholar and instructor, able to effortlessly teach the Child of the workings of Reality and Manifestation, the mending of said reality, and the ways in which corruption can break it. Taeh’s calm, constructive, and intuitive nature was a perfect match for the role of mentor.

    Finally, we introduce the Sacred Child of Reality, Soylantasia. Soylantasia is described as being a quiet and observant Child. As is the nature of her lineage, Soylantasia is much like Her Excellency and Hayle Taeh—that being quick-thinking, adaptive, observant, scholarly, and creative. In her lessons with Hayle Taeh, Soylantasia naturally took on the academic role as student, and is keen on making astute inferences and observations, able to synthesize information gathered, and adapt to the Reality around her given these new properties.

  • Question: What keeps Realms apart?

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We move our more serious discussions back to general concepts with the Xyphoist Philosophy and in regards to the Caspierrian Xyphozon. Today we’ll field a question about realms and explain how realms are separated. We mention the two major realms of spiritual collection quite a bit, and sometimes touch on the smaller realms within them, but how exactly do they keep their spiritual flow separated? Let’s discuss.

    We first start by going over the major sections of the Spiritual Spectrum itself: Xyzokizon, Xykopsysomi, Xyphojinami, and Gheisialez. These four sections make up all of known existence. Xyzokizon is the Sacred Realm and home to the Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order, and is located at the center of the Plane. Enveloping Xyzokizon, we have the two realms of spiritual collection—those being Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami. Finally, at the outer edges of this is the region of Gheisialez, which is less of a realm and more of a boundary between existence and nonexistence and is often crumbling and disheveled.

    The one major criteria that dictates how all of these regions remain separated is Cosmic Resonance. Simply put, the collective spiritual resonance of the beings who exist within each given realm create a “bubble” that radiates outward and forms the realm itself. As such, the Spiritual Resonance of the Lords essentially creates Xyzokizon—although the Sacred Realm’s boundaries are slightly more complex than just simple resonance. The resonance of all Spirits creates the boundaries of Xykopsysomi; the resonance of Mortals creates the boundaries of Xyphojinami. Finally, Gheisialez is simply the farthest reaches of those aforementioned realms where the resonance begins to taper off and fade into nonexistence and is distinct enough of a region that it has separation from the lack of resonance.

    This also is true of all the subrealms within the major sections of the Plane. The Kingdom Realms within Xyzokizon are created partially by the resonance of each individual Lord along with other miraculous criteria that keeps them apart. Likewise, all the smaller realms that make of both Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami are made of the resonances of the types of Spirits and Mortals who inhabit them respectively. So, for example, we Humans exist in the Realm of Nikconzin. Our human resonance creates the “bubble” that this realm is.

    Natural Flow has set up these boundaries naturally as spiritual beings formed from Nature. This is also how Cosmic Flow works, as all beings and existence is made of spiritual particles, spirituality flows through all beings and all realms in a constant flow and cycle, keeping the Spectrum stable so long as great corruption doesn’t work to stop that flow and break it. Karseks are also capable of warping through these boundaries but will also cause fractures in the Cosmic walls by doing so.

    So to sum up the answer: the spiritual resonances of spiritual beings—depending on their type—creates the boundaries of the various existential realms.
