  • 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!

  • Commentary 24: The Purpose of Reincarnation

    Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We meet again on this absolutely gorgeous day. Hopefully everyone has spent it out in the Lord’s Nature. As we’ve talked about Natural Force for the last two Commentaries, today we shall cover the other divine attribute of Lord Nakndes: Reincarnation. What is Reincarnation? Who is granted Reincarnation? And for what purpose would one be Reincarnated? We didn’t have time to go deeper into this attribute during our Xyphokron review, so let us do so now.

    Reincarnation is the process of the Cosmos taking a previously assembled spirituality and Self and recycling its form into a new existence with most of the previous iteration intact. Put simply, once a mortal dies in Xyphojinami, part of their Self and spirituality is taken and is part into a new mortal Life within Xyphojinami.

    So, for what purpose would Reincarnation serve in Xyphoist Philosophy. It’s understood that once a mortal dies, their Self and soul are moved onto other Pathos before being scattered. However, in certain cases, a mortal’s previous life and influence during that life served such a grand purpose for current and future events, that their spirituality will be recycled and Reincarnated. Often, people who have had momentous impacts on our world were seen as one of these Reincarnated mortals.

    Daetos Idolism, named after the Archangel and Sacred Servant Daetos, Scribe of Idol, is one type of reincarnation in which a being is reincarnated to serve a grand purpose in the Order as mortal emissaries for the Ordinance wing of the Order—including we Arch-Hayles Grandurate ourselves.

    Other forms of Reincarnation come in the form of Heightened Spirituality. A being may martyr themselves in hopes of their spirituality being reincarnated as some form of charm to protect someone still living. This is mainly through the Caishon, Caspierrian, and Saifaosian Pathos to become Granduate Guardians, Granduate Reliquaries, or Granduate Cupids.

    Granduate Guardians are reincarnated mortals who are sent to be guardians to another life for the duration of their Life in Xyphojinami. Granduate Reliquaries are reincarnated spiritual resonance placed inside a corporeal vessel other than a typical mortal body and acts as a spiritual tool or protective charm for another being still alive. Finally, Granduate Cupids are reincarnated mortals whose purpose in their next Life is to initiate or hold together a bond of Love between others.

    Generally, the purpose of Reincarnation in Xyphoist Philosophy is to assure a specific spirituality will be brought back into the cycle to serve a grand purpose. Reincarnation is much less common than the more natural path after Death, but select spiritualities will be part of this process.

  • Commentary 23: Nature and the Cosmos

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance! Welcome to the second entry for the verdant Period of Maiye. Lord Nakndes has blessed the workings of nature and given us such a beautiful day outside to watch as Nature itself buds and greens up the forests. Today we’ll be talking of how the Cosmos and Nature work together to function as a single force. We’ll briefly explain the Cosmos yet again, how they relate to Nature, and how Nature acts in our realm of Xyphojinami in conjunction with the Cosmos. So let us begin.

    To reiterate from the earlier segment we at the Ordinance did whilst going through the Xyphokron, the Cosmos are an interconnected spiritual web created by the Lords and watched over by Zeiga; the Cosmos are designed to shift and flex as needed to weather the waves of cosmic fluctuation that ripple through the Spectrum. As such, all acts that affect the natural course of reality are moved through Nature using the Cosmos.

    To put more simply, the Cosmos are the means in which Nature manifests and conducts itself flow, and all acts of Nature are done through the vehicle that is the Cosmos. Any such natural occurrence, from a terribly storm, to the simplest of new flourishing growth, are all acts of Nature conducted through the Cosmos. Occurrences of positive and negative Nature fluctuate across the Cosmos in a ripple effect, which ends up flowing in waves throughout Nature.

    So, now we move onto our interaction with Nature and its Cosmic relevance. Our actions in regards to Nature reflect across the Cosmos. In our future projects with the Ordinance, we intend to address the issue of the environment and how we affect it. Our Project Sacred Earth is a future project to help heal our planet and the environment to help mitigate the damages done to the environment via our interaction with Nature. While Nature cannot be conquered or destroyed, it will most certainly destroy any rogue entity that attempts to do so. We have, through our collective Hubris, trifled with Nature enough that we are now seeing the effects of such action across the Cosmos. Our world is threatened by the ever-changing environment and climate, much of which can be attributed our own action. As the Cosmos work as they do, eventually these negative impacts against Nature will reflect and ripple back at the cause of those impacts.

    One of the many goals and jobs of the Ordinance is to mitigate and help mend those negative impacts to prevent such a date—hence the Sacred Earth Project. Often, “negative impacts” are exemplified by human-caused atrocities against each other, but we often overlook the negative impacts against Nature itself as one of those Cosmic reflections. How we treat Nature is how it will eventually treat us, and the Ordinance heavily encourages that we as Humans respect the awesome power of Nature and care for what it has given us; the creating force can certainly remove us whenever it sees fit.
