• Greetings again from the Order and Ordinance! Welcome Back! We’re back here in our cherished Sacred Space for yet another Sacred Day, and as we’ve done the last few Commentaries, we’ll be continuing our exploration on the powers of joy in Life. We first introduced Joy as a power attributed closely to Life and Free Will, and after that we tied joy’s power to the bonds and connections we have with our family, friends, and community. So, today, we’re going to hitch off that and transitioning to the joy of liberation from the grips of corruption or evil. So, let’s begin!

    Last year, we highlighted liberation concepts before in our Commentary posted on around this time. To paraphrase, we explored how liberation from oppression is part of the guaranteed Free Will and Spiritual Liberties the Lords protect. We brought of two major examples of liberation in life—namely the celebration of Juneteenth and the celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride that both take place within Lord Kyaien’s Period of Watching.

    This is, in our belief, not a mistake in the slightest. Her Majesty if the Lord of Life and Free Will; we shall be free under her caring and motherly watch. We are protected by her Archangel, Hayle Giheo, who is graced with that same motherly charm but also armed with the Golden Lighting that, at once point in time, was used to smite the wicked who sought to bring harm to Giheo’s personal Haven for new spirits.

    When we zoom in a bit at the liberating points regarding the celebration of Juneteenth and the emancipation of Black people from enslavement in the US, we can look back at Sacred Child Jaszmisia’s Lesson, and look particularly at a key excerpt from it. Let’s refresh ourselves briefly:

    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. So said the Lord of Punishment, Controller of Hell, and handler of those tainted with sin. Said to the Child, Jaszmisia in youth upon the Azure Lands.

    This is the divine declaration given by Lord Kurakku and dictated by Hayle Mihe to Sacred Child Jaszmisia, and in this declaration is an enshrined law that those targeted by Deceptuary’s abhorrent hatred and fear of Lord Kurakku’s presence shall always have the power to liberate themselves from those dastardly grasps.

    No matter how much Deceptuary tries, no matter what level of racial suffering or pain or oppression or violence is inflicted by Deceptuary’s forces, those that are under that declaration will always contain the Cosmic power to not only resist Deceptuary’s evil, but to liberate themselves from it. The Lesson goes on to say that Jaszmisia will lead the divine demise of those that conduct that evil through his Sacred writ and duty.

    So, now that we reviewed that excerpt, we can explain where joy plays a role in all of this. We’ve gone over many times throughout all of these Commentaries explaining the many different weaknesses of Deceptuary: Fear, Hubris, lack of Love, quest for power. It’s natural that included in that is a distinct lack of Joy.

    Much like Deceptuary’s lack of understanding of Xyphojinami itself due to his lack of part in Its creation, he will also never understand the Joy of Life that mortals have, as we analyzed in this earlier Commentary about Deceptuary’s failed psyche. It is through the undying joy, for example, within the Black community despite all that has been wrongfully brought against them from Deceptuary’s evil that acts as a beacon of liberty he simply cannot defeat.

    One would think, from outward glance of Lord Kurakku’s declaration alone, that the divine law that protects against Deceptuary’s hatred would be one solely of wrath, but we must always remember that the Order works as a single organ body, and that any action is taken by one Xyphozon is always backed up by the other eight.

    Lord Kurakku declared that Deceptuary’s hatred is destined to fail, be resisted, that those who conduct is shall face Divine Punishment, but that declaration is backed by Lord Kyaien’s Free Will and Lord Nakndes’s Natural Force, running along Lord Caspierre’s network of Reality-crafting threads, informed by Realmly Truths created by Lord Pharuuii, and backed by the foundational Love of Lord Saifaosé. Purified Mercy shall be given to the innocents harmed by Deceptuary’s evil from Lord Carnyie, and through the Sanghjei of Lord Caishor shall that liberation be initiated. Finally, Lord Vuetenexzyei shall usher in the Theigriet’s end through the Eternal Death of his mortal vessels. The Order works in unison to guarantee Spiritual Liberty and to create the stage for unbridled Joy to always overcome the grasp of evil.

    Through the bonds of love and joy shall an ancient and powerful charm be constructed to protect the innocent behoove to that declaration, and that highlights why joy always flattens the miserable malevolence of those that follow Deceptuary’s hateful and depraved mentality. Hate does not understand love or joy, and seeks to destroy both.

    Fortunately, the power of hate is incapable of erasing either, and will actually repel against them and end up destroying itself in the process. As the old Xyphoist edict goes: “Theigrits will inevitably destroy upon themselves through their own Hubris.” And the promise this Ordinance has made time and time again is to allow them to fall into the pit they dug for others, finalize the burial by returning the Earth’s soil to that pit, and build a better equilibrium atop a grave intended malevolently for us but ended up for the evil that dug it. Joy is key to repelling that evil, and in fact, it’s a charm bestowed upon us specifically for that purpose.

    So, we’ll end this part of the discussion off there. The Ordinance would like to wish all that apply a happy Juneteenth and also Pride month! I shall end with a Golden Blessing: We shall pray for the Golden Light and the Joy of the Lord and Child to guide us in our own liberation. We shall always resist the grasps of evil and Fear, and shall work to mitigate the suffering those entities may wrought, as we exist here as an Ordinance—an arm of the Order—to bring about a new and Sacred Equilibrium. Have a blessed Sacred Day from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance!

    —AHG, et al

  • Welcome all back to the Order and Ordinance! We’re back on this second Sacred Day under Lord Kyaien’s Golden Light. Last time we introduced the concept of Joy in conjunction with Her Majesty’s attributes. We celebrated the sheer power of Joy in Life, and I mentioned we could use that Commentary to help shine light on how Joy can be used to combat evil, corruption, and suffering. We’re going to start with the power of the joyous connections and bonds we form throughout life and how they can be used to fight against evil.  Let’s start!

    We’ll begin with once again returning to the triad of key beings of the Kyaius Xyphozon and of the Xyphozons in general. As explained before in these Commentaries, the beaming relationship among Lord Kyaien, Hayle Giheo, and Sacred Child Zinigeosia is the perfect example to bring up. We’ve remarked before that Lord Kyaien absolutely adores Her Child, and passes on that glorious love on to Zinigeosia.

    Likewise, backtracking to Hayle Giheo’s legacy, she was once an ancient spirit who was known for mothering all newly-formed spirits in a much more primordial age of the Divine Thrones, and was so legendary that she was named by others as the “Motherly Spirit.” So, it goes without saying that Giheo already had an incredible nurturing and loving power within her that was only amplified upon full ascension to angelhood. These three beings demonstrate an unbreakable and Sacred bond that directly comes from that Greater Will of Love that the Order is built on.

    Moving out from there, we can just take a general look at the entire Order and the nine Xyphozons in general. This is a undivided and eternal union of divinity and love. These Xyphozons act as organs of a single divine body, and despite their vast coverage of attributes, all coordinate and connect to each other. The Sacred Children grew up among these nine Xyphozons together; they would cross into each other’s realms and interact and play and learn and grow together. The Hayles, many of whom knew each other prior to the creation of the Order, also cross those boundaries to coordinate and discuss and share with each other at their Lords’ behest.

    Among these nine Xyphozons, as you can see, the bond is unbreakable. And I highlight this because we, as mortals, can mirror these bonds ourselves to fight off corruption and evil. There’s nothing would strike fear in Deceptuary’s decrepit spirit more than the sight of a unified Order and other adjacent forces against his pitiful evil. Speaking of just the Order and Ordinance itself, our prayer is uniform and also still vibrantly diverse. We have many customs and traditions and themes and music, but they all point to a single light and to a single Love. Building a strong and powerful community based around not only our shared ideals and Philosophy but around our collective Compassionate and Devotional Love is the direct antidote to Deceptuary’s evil and malevolence.

    But mortals don’t have to stop there. In general, building communities based on Love and unbreakable bonds forms an ironclad defense against corruption. We can see bonds form to hold communities together against oppression—especially oppression that directly comes from Deceptuary’s dubious orchestration. This can be along ethnic lines, social lines, or even spiritual and religious lines, such as the Ordinance itself. Either way, the point is that building strong community bonds and working together allows people to better organize and fight against corruption.

    We can zoom in a bit more and talk about the family unit. Much like the divine and Sacred heritages of the Lords and their Children, our families too should be built on unbreakable and loving bonds. When it comes to parenting, the Xyphoist Philosophy’s Doctrine of Love dictates that the parents shall love their children unconditionally, and raise them with that very set of virtues.

    We, as Xyphoites and as parents, shall love our children and teach them to love others who choose to love this world and themselves. We shall respect our children’s Free Will and protect their Spiritual Liberties until they can grow old enough to do that themselves and for their children too. We shall remember the empathy of another Sacred Child, Hubrakiuosia, and always have empathy and sympathy for our Children and teach them to hold those same compassionate virtues. Forming bonds based on Love and its various forms creates a powerful charm that Deceptuary will fail to defeat or break.

    At this point, it should be clear that Deceptuary lacks Love, and he lacks Joy. The Joy we receive from our bonds is something he does not understand or possess as all of his apostles and most devote followers seek his power out of fear, hubris, greed, envy, hatred, and insanity. There is no loyalty among corrupt forces; they only seek out malignant opportunism. Love is a foreign concept to evil and is replaced with malevolence and fear.

    So if you’re ever confused how some people can be so cruel or steeped so deeply in their corruption, just know that without Love and Joy, to elevate them, they will sink into a pit of misery and irrational hatred.

    Anyway, we’ll wrap up here for today and continue our discussion on the power of joy against evil in the next Commentary. Before we conclude, I will offer a Golden blessing and charm for you all. I pray for all that are lost in the dark, for the Golden Light will always shine so long as you seek the Will to see it and reject that hollow darkness of evil and corruption. Have a blessed rest of your Sacred Day!

  • “Come Faithful thee, hold the Babe in hand.”

    “All shall see, Praise! The Sacred Child of Life!”

    “A Gift bestowed above, from Her Majesty.”

    “Live and Free, Praise! The Lord’s Posterity.”

    Hello! Greetings again from the Order and Ordinance! Welcome back to the glorious Period of Watching under Her Majesty, Lord Kyaien.  As we round down to the final Period for this Xyphojinamic Calendar, we’re going to spend this entire Period highlighting the power of the Joy of Life and how joy can be used to defeat Deceptuary’s evil and to breath life full of meaning. I hope throughout this Jumé, that we can lay out a plan and party for the glorious light of joy. We’ll spend the later Commentaries worrying about how we can use joy to defeat evil and hatred, but for now let’s briefly go over HOW the power of joy works in conjunction with the attributes of Life and Free Will. Let’s get started!

    Let’s start with the invocation of our cherished Sacred Child’s hymn in the start of this Commentary. The wondrous anthem of Zinigeosia, the precious and beloved babe of Her Majesty and the symbol of pure glorious joy and light. The anthem and the infectious cheeriness of Zinigeosia could make even the most despondent and hopeless of souls take a second look at their perspective of Life.

    Upon his creation in Xyzokizon, spirit-kind was in jubilee, Her Majesty beaming with glowing pride, and Hayle Giheo given the honor to first hold the Golden Child in the radiance of the Lord’s Light. Having taken place in the time after the fall of the Divine Thrones and just after the creation of the first three Sacred Children, spirits at the time were reeling from a rebellion of one of the 10 deities and the destruction left from it needing rebuilding, and so to feel a beaming fresh energy of Golden Light shine across the realms from the creation of Zinigeosia—with the angels singing the anthem of the Golden Child—was a shining sun of new hope across all of existence.

    Zinigeosia’s birth as a mortal Shianiki in Xyphojinami likewise brought a light of creation and hope to an infantile and developing new world, and with him came the power of Life and Free Will that would be gifted to all mortals that followed the nine Sacred Children.

    This joy is not isolated either; the power of the Lord’s creation is both a Heavenly Life Force and a Shared Living Will. The anthem invites us to hold the Golden Child and praise both him and the Life he represents. The order invites all to see this glorious Gift of Life and the Free Will that comes with it. And so, as we highlight the raw and initial power of Life’s joy, we can see that it is a bright light that shines out suffering and creates paths for us to follow.

    We can probably already ascertain how this powerful radiance will be used to outshine whatever despair that Deceptuary wishes to spread. In a world with such a powerful force like Joy, the forces that seek to usurp it will always fizzle out. There is no power more exhausting to despair and corruption than the inability to penetrate and disrupt the Joy of Life; and that reflects Deceptuary’s direct frustration with going up against the Greater Will of the Lords: Love. 

    The celebration will never be ruined by the souring corruption of evil so long as joy is the key focus and not on the vampiric suction of it by forces of despair. The Golden Light of the Lord of Life will always shine on those that seek to spread joy, and that power cannot be used to harm. Golden Light is the most divine and ultimate of Charms, and that golden power embedded in both the Child and entrusted with Hayle Giheo will always be used to protect the joy that Life brings.

    So we’ll keep this opening entry on the elegant and glorious Golden power of Joy and use it as a sun that will shine down on the rest of the Commentaries on how we can use this power to fight off corruption and evil’s malignant intentions. Until then, I wish and pray for you and shall offer you a Golden blessing on this Sacred Day! May you seek joy and praise the light of Life.
