• Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back. Today starts the first Commentary of the Caspierrian period of Nuvemus, and so we shall begin discussion on topic revolving around Reality, Manifestation, Existence, and perhaps even field some questions on the side. The topic for today will be on manifesting futures. How does future realities work in this Spectrum? Do the Lords know our futures before they happen? Are our destinies set in stone from the beginning or can they change. Let us dive in, shall we?

    Future realities, as expected, are events in relative time frames we have yet to experience but are expected to come as we progress through our existence. The future itself shall always exist so long as there is a present existence to perceive the possibility of it. What takes place in that future setting is dependent on a multitude of factors in our current state of existence as well as foreseen knowledge from beyond our Earthly grasp. In our Spectrum, the future is dependent on the continuous flow of Spirituality between the realms. The stagnation of this spiritual flow would lead to existential collapse which would plunge us into nonexistence as a result. Future realities must have the constant flow of reality to remain possible.

    Now the question of whether the Lords themselves know of the future. Simply put, they are the host of our entire existence, and as such can foresee every and all possibility within the existence they host. We, cast from their shadows brought from the Initial Flash of Light, are beholden to the existence they spawn. As such, it is reasonable to say they can see every possibility we can experience, and have decided that giving us liberties, allowing Natural Flow and Divergence, and leaving reality to its own development would be the best option given the futures they can witness. The Lords then can see all possibilities while allowing us to walk down to our own at the behest of our own Free Will—picking one of the many futures they can see.

    We also bolster this foresight from the Prophecy given by the Hayles; the Hayles, having access to untold amounts of Realmly Truth, were able to deliver the Prophecy to the remaining Xyphoites through seeing into the future and catching glimpse of the future where Deceptuary fails in his wild endeavors and instructed the remaining Xyphoites on how to enshrine this outcome. And while they gave an outline for this future, they didn’t detail every single truth on the matter—leaving the Xyphoites with the Free Will to discover the truth on their own and building the future in which the Equilibrium will be balanced. The Lords bestowed great confidence in the Hayles’ ability to communicate with us in the Ordinance, and we too trust in this foresight.

    This then answers the final question of whether things are fated. Simply put, if you want them too then they most likely will. There are outcomes that fall out of the reach—things that are such great challenges perhaps one person cannot overcome in the current timeline—yet with time a possible future can exist where something is overcome. At one point, we saw people perish to certain diseases that were just assumed to be a guaranteed death sentence if you fell ill to them. Now, we have medicines and practices to allow people live through things we once thought were fatal. A new future, brought by action, changed a previously-assured fate. I took many fallen lives to eventually get to a future where one does not have to fall in that way—a new future manifested.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today on the last Sacred Day of this 2nd Period of Lord Vuetenexzyei, we’ll speak in-depth on the procedural role of the Vuetenexian Xyphozon: Pathan Designation. We’ll revisit the definition of Paths, speak of the moral and immoral paths of Pathans, and the different subsets of each’s designation. Let’s begin.

    Pathans are Cosmic paths a recently deceased soul will follow in their Afterlife period. These paths diverge between moral and immoral designations, and are determined by the Heaven and Hell Pathans—aptly named the Pathans of Determination. Part of the Connections of Life, these two Pathan chains will determine whether a deceased soul will continue onward to other positive Pathans or be doomed to one of the two routes for corrupted souls.

    Getting the darker side of this discussion out of the way, souls that have committed great sins or Great Acts of Theigritism will be dragged down one of two paths after Death: Cast to Gheisialez to rot away painfully into nonexistence or be dragged into Terigath’s Hell to suffer for all eternity. Naturally, the exile to Gheisialez is for corrupted souls who have lived their previous lives inflicted with corruption and immoral acts—particularly evil acts; these souls are not explicitly tied to theigrited influences and simply corrupted, tainted, and committing acts of evil. Souls that have committed Great Acts of Theigritism will specifically be dragged immediately into a Chamber in Terigath’s Hell carved for their corrupted Self to suffer for all eternity. Both of these outcomes are determined by the Terigath Pathan—which naturally implies the Kurakkuian Xyphozon having jurisdiction over the sentencing of these paths.

    Next, we’ll address the possible paths for the Aerigeth Pathan, with the most obvious being a granted Term in Heaven. Souls of good tenure, regardless of whether they are previously devoted to the Order or not, can be granted a Term in Heaven. After such a term is completed and the soul is put into eternal sleep, the soul may continue onto other Pathans depending on the circumstances of the previous Life, the Sacred Devotion of the previous Life, the purposeful sacrifice of the previous Life, or the Cosmic need for said Soul to return in reincarnation in some form. We’ll start by addressing the various Pathans regarding reincarnation.

    For various reasons, a soul may be reincarnated back into Xyphojinami and skip the scattering of spirituality and reforming into a Spirit. Whether it is to serve a grand purpose, act as a protector, a builder of bonds, or a passer of Wisdom, the soul will be given what is called Heightened Spirituality, determined which further Pathan they should be reincarnated through, and then be sent back into Xyphojinami as a new Mortal Being inhibiting the spiritual resonance of a previous Life. All reincarnated souls go through the Pathan to Parrinze to be given Heightened Spirituality. From there, they are either sent directly to Evernleth to be reincarnated, or be sent to other Pathans to be reincarnated through certain roles. In the base case, all reincarnated beings sent back into Xyphojinami to serve a purpose are called Daetos Idols—named aptly after Sacred Servant Daetos, Scribe of Idol.

    For the case of reincarnated souls that adopt further Pathans before being sent back into Xyphojinami, we introduce the term Granduate. A Granduate—not to be confused with the term “Grandurate” which is entirely different—is a reincarnated soul that serves a specific Pathan-orientated purpose. Of these Granduates, there are four types: Granduate Cupids, Granduate Guardians, Granduate Reliquaries, and Granduate Wisemen.

    Briefly defining each: Granduate Cupids (not to be confused with Cupids, who are Angels of Love not reincarnated souls) are reincarnated souls who shall be catalysts of Love and who are destined to form bonds of Love among others. Granduate Guardians are reincarnated to serve as a protector to others. Granduate Reliquaries are spiritual resonances that are reincarnated in the form of an object or tool meant to offer service or use to another. Finally, Granduate Wisemen are souls reincarnated and encoded with Realmly Truths with the purpose of bestowing needed Knowledge to others in their reincarnated Lives.

    In the case of the Vuetenexian Xyphozon and these Granduate Pathans, souls destined to follow these Pathans will be sent to Parrinze first to be granted Heightened Reincarnation before being sent to the corresponding Sacred Realm to be properly transformed into the proper type of Granduate. Finally, the Granduate soul will be sent to Evernleth to be reincarnated properly before being sent to Aerigeth to be birthed yet again into Xyphojinami.

    So, to visually show the path of a single soul who has died, was granted a Term in Heaven, and was decided to be reincarnated as, per say, a Granduate Wiseman,  the pathing for this single soul’s Afterlife would be as follows:

    Desitun (Death) > Aerigeth (Heaven) > Parrinze (Heightened) > Ruas (Granduate) > Evernleth (Reincarnate) > Aerigeth (Rebirth)

    In cases of those who are, for chance, non-theist at all and personally wouldn’t desire anything after Death—including even going to Heaven—such souls will simply be scattered into free spirituality immediately after Death as is their final desire assuming they aren’t corrupted or theigrited.

    All of these inter-cosmic transferring takes place via the Vuetenexian Xyphozon and the Angels of Death moving these souls to their proper destinations in the Afterlife. Once the entire journey is complete, the Angels of Death no longer play a roll until the reincarnated Soul reaches its Death yet again.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Ordinance and Order. Today we will be discussing the connections between beings inflicted with corruption and the inevitability of the Spiritual Ends by such circumstances. We’ll discuss how letting Hubris, corruption, immorality, and evil—particularly of the theigrited case—will lead to the inevitable downfall of those who partake in such dubious paths. Let’s begin.

    As spoken before, Hubris is an acute flaw that inflicts Humanity—although it is not limited to Humans. Along with its proclivity to lead to corruption, Xyphoist Philosophy recognizes the path downward into corruption as one that will eventually lead to the downfall of whoever takes it. In much the same way that the lesson about the Faces of Death will align with how one interacts with Death, so too shall the Spiritual End of someone struck with evil be equally as fitting.

    Within Xyphoist Philosophy, we recognize a key concept of this inevitable self-destruction as key to the end of both the Theigriet but also to all that follow in his shadow. When the Lords of the Xyphokonic Order were establishing said Order, they created liberties for all beings to have. Within those liberties, and also included in one of the Immoral Acts, is the liberty to be free of punishment outside of the Lords themselves for immoral or theigrited actions; only the Lords themselves shall conduct Divine Punishment and no other Spirituality shall do so. It is immoral to go outwardly and punish theigrits specifically because the Philosophy dictates that they will self-destruct on their own so long as we continue to defend and practice our Philosophy correctly. Below we see the Lords establishing this concept.

    “…that the Spirit be left unpunished outside of Divine Means by those in the Order for breaking of Law, as the immoral and theigrited shall inevitably destroy on their own and not need such petulant overtaking of Divine Authority.”

    This concept doesn’t incorporate cases where the institutions of the Order and Ordinance are attacked, in which it is no longer an act of willful aggression so much as defense against being attacked. It is in those circumstances that the Echelons of Action come into play.

    In cases throughout Human history, we’ve seen figures bathed in evil have these great downfalls. In nearly every case, these people allowed not only their corruption to consume them, but also allowed their Hubris to blind them from the inevitable cliff before their path. We, as Xyphoites, believe that our efforts in mitigating worldly suffering, being adamant on our Prayer and Practice, and doing all we can to Maintain the Equilibrium will naturally set up the conditions that will prevent realmly decay, prevent evil from overtaking existence, and allow such evil and theigritism to fail to its own means. The only destination for paths of corruption and evil is inevitable destruction and the Spiritual End that comes with it.
