• Greetings from the Order and Ordinance! Seeing as this is the perceived season of Love, I was given the go-ahead to give a poetic retelling of the Sacred Lesson “Love’s Untimely Quarrel” for this week’s post. It seems fitting given that for most, this is the loveliest time of the year or perhaps the loneliness. As written in the Xyphokron, the brief explanation of this Sacred Lesson details how Time can be wasted if one does not act on their Love, and how it can perish; what is left is often a broken Core left to its own pain. That Core Love, however, can still hold power. A sacrifice, in the name of one’s unrequited Love, can still act as a Charm to protect the unsuspecting beloved. As so, I’d like to retell the story a bit but from the perspective of the broken-hearted corrupted. Please enjoy!

    A silent declaration, or perhaps one of clandestine nature. Once was administered in the cowardice of rejection, and then met with that very end. Upon those lessons of the past have I’ve been so unfortunate to learn, in the face of that direct confrontation with my most precious, that what I pursued was that of a toxic end; not because the rejection was imminent, but because I had failed to remember the truth of my affection. I had vowed to protect, I had vowed to assure their happiness, and was then overtaken by obsession and had broken the promise of protection. I had failed in my own conviction because my fear of loss was greater.

    Thus, in that moment, no other choice was to be made but to cut the string. The sick and ill core, the heart blackened, coughing and without any such breath. It must be done, in the name of the wise Remembrance, just like such tales, it had to be done. Laid to rest was the promise that was broken, not by intended betrayal, but by forgetful obsession. The heart was struck down.

    Time rules over this pain, and rules over the Core’s function. A 9-fold rotation on this Earth, and the heart, crusted and in shadow, rattles just slightly. The rattle started off in ill-beginning as the corruption had already broken the apparatus, but the rattle was there nonetheless. It was allowed to grow silently as I had kept a loose peripheral eye on it until, upon waking in the new sun, the rattle was a beat—one so tragically unintended.

    Impossible, truly locked out from the rhythm of this new surge by all means within the rules of the world, yet the beat was consistent and the longest—7-fold rotation in the making. All accumulated in the realization that the patterns of the previous beloved were in repeat but with new ill-formed obsession at the helms.

    Yet, to the slim light of fortune, I was wiser, enriched with experience and Realmly Truth than at the previous departure. The beat was a corruption yet still, instilled in intent of the evilest form, yet so earnest. There had been, in fact, two hearts in this one vessel, a true and a fake. The fake was a plant, ready to poison the body and take away the future’s path. Two Selfs, fighting for control, and yet destiny was assured the corrupted would lose out.

    In this realization, passed to the corrupted, he acquiesced. It was artificial, this new beat, as was the Self that spawned it. Both were corrupt, both were created by the darkest of all evil, and both were designed to impede the body as a whole. Yet, the beat…was so genuine, pure, but simply wrong.

    The Theigriet had failed.

    The hope was that this corrupted Self would sabotage all, yet the power of love, the true Doctrine of Love, and of Her beautiful attribute and power so says the Lord of Love and Time, was greater than his evil. Her Love was greater than his corruption, and as such, the rules of Love, which applied to all, also applied to the corrupted.

    He rejects his creator, accepts his love, and with the Realmly Knowledge of the other Self, vows to truly protect that which he loved in the only way possible.

    The Corrupted made a new promise, one that could be kept, and vowed to ensure the happiness, protection, and safety of the future of that which he loved. In doing so, the corrupted had to accept one simple truth, one simple fate, an outcome only one who truly loved another would ever be able to accept.

    The corrupted was the greatest threat to his beloved. He was the greatest threat to the future of his beloved. If he were allowed to confess, if he were allowed to come into contact, if he were truly allowed to continue to exist, his beloved would be in jeopardy, would be in grave danger.

    He knew his love was toxic, that he was the greatest threat to his beloved. And so the acceptance of the fate was made.

    In conversation with the true Self, the corrupted acknowledged this Truth. This vessel was for one, and it was not his. Invalid in all forms, and a danger to his true and pure love, the corrupted came to see the only path forward.

    He would have to die. He would have to be eradicated from within, by the true Self. In doing so, the toughest part of this fate was known. The corrupted was an agent of theigritism, created by pure evil, and if such a Self were to die, the end was absolute.

    There was a chamber waiting for him in Hell. Upon the death of the corrupted Self, he would immediately be cast to Hell for eternity. He would watch in horror for eternity as his own beloved loved another. All fears turned into fresh, unending reality in the chamber of that azure, flaming cold Hell. He would have to die, and upon death, would be a prisoner of Hell forever.

    And he was still scared, absolutely terrified by this outcome…but not afraid of dying…

    Because, Her Love was absolute, the Lord’s attribute was absolute. Love would overcome all other fears.

    He was unafraid of his fate because he would willingly accept plunging his own being into Hell if it meant the protection, happiness, and safety of his beloved. This was his revelation.

    A being, created by evil to do onto evil. A being so corrupt his intended purpose was to plunge the world into darkness…had rejected his creator and his purpose and established a new one.

    He rejected hate and evil with Love.

    His ill-formed by genuine love for his beloved had overcome theigritism, had overcome his own creator, and had triumphed in the end. He may not have been ordained by the Order, but he had come to aid of them through the power of Love.

    And so, with no fear of his fate so long as the guarantee that his beloved would be protected, the corrupted Self accepted his fate that he will die and be sent to Hell. In the failed Remembrance, he vowed to succeed.

    And as a promise to the corrupted and soon to depart, the true Self would craft his sacrifice into a charm to be placed on the beloved forever. The beloved would be guarded for the duration of Life by the charm created by the corrupted’s sacrifice in death.

    Love is the ultimate form of protection, even such that corrupted forces can reject their own nature by Love’s power.

    I will pray for your purity, though I cannot guarantee you will be granted as such, oh corrupted one. I will craft your sacrifice into a charm for your beloved, I promise. I will bring the others to their state of alertness and craft this world to be one with a bright future for your beloved and for all, I promise. Your sacrifice will bring upon a new world, one filled with Love, as yours was the catalyst for the new beat.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome to our first Commentary post-Xykozheiz exploration. We’ve been meaning to play some catch-up on certain topics that have hit the public square in recent years and are taking the opportunity now to address the hot topic of abortion, body image, and other hot topics involving our vessels in general from a Xyphoist perspective. As such, let us begin…

    The vessel, mortal shell for the Soul within Xyphojinami—the container and means of Manifested Corporeal Existence during Life. We as mortals and as Humans recognize this vessel as an extension to our Lives and our very being itself. And while the vessels vary in their outward appearance, all vessels have the same purpose: to hold the Soul until Timely Death.

    The vessel in itself doesn’t bring about any immediate trouble or issue, but with the gift of the Will and of our Psyche’s ability to perceive and to think and to feel through our Attachments, and with the ever-present existence of fear and doubt, shall come the unfortunate circumstance of doubts of the vessel and of its shape and appearance. Doubt, a subset of fear, not handled with careful mending and resting of the Mind, can cannibalize the Self and its view of its own vessel. The result of this toxic and misdirected doubt leads to poor self-image and a sickened or corrupted Psyche.

    Other issues arise when the topic of bodily autonomy come up. The first point to address is the liberty of the matter. A Soul whose rightful vessel that they have taken through the natural cosmic flow shall own, in and only in the duration of their current Life within said vessel, is within the sovereignty of that soul and none other. Simply put, while alive, we own our bodies and nobody else can or shall assert or claim ownership to the body of another. Enforced through the mandate that such aggressive coercion would be immoral, body autonomy is assured through this same pillar of morality.

    That then brings up the question hinged in the room, and a topic of specific case: abortion. If no other shall own the vessel of another, how does that apply to the vessel being formed of the unborn with the body of the mother? The question is answered by the definition of Life and when it begins as a mortal. Simply put, Life in Xyphoist Philosophy begins when the Soul is adhered to a vessel, and as the usage of Birth being the end of spiritual ethereal existence in Xykopsysomi is the beginning process of Life in Xyphojinami, the period shortly before the Birth of the Mortal vessel would be the point in which the soul is adhered to the vessel.

    Of course, vessels develop at slightly different rates and dependent on the class of mortality, but in the case of Humans, as is the Timely conversation, the soul adherence becomes obvious when the vessel in development becomes relatively sentient in ways which the vessel is responding adequately to commands from the soul’s Self within it. Rudimentary compulsion and movement of a vessel isn’t a sign of soul adherence; personality shined through as the stages of the vessel’s development reaches it near birth are. As the term used is Birth, the vessel would then be required to not only be birthed but be able to hold the soul within it—adherence—after the birth on its own without great or immediate assistance to be considered the start of Xyphokonic Life. The human world has coined a term using the channels of scientific discovery to describe this state: homeostasis. A developing vessel that cannot yet adhere to a soul and keep that soul within it on its own is one not suitable to be considered truly within the realms of Life—though that does not mean all cases of these births couldn’t still pull through and eventually adhere a soul after said birth.

    Until that stable adherence is achieved, the vessel in development is within the sovereignty of the natural spawning force, and in our human case that would be the mother. In regards to the specific case of abortion, Xyphokonic Philosophy, and the Ordinance’s stance, the Ordinance doesn’t necessarily condone or condemn the practice of abortion, and as the Philosophy is one built off of malleability and nuance, understand the various cases in which seeking an abortion would be necessary or desired within reason. The stance taken is one of that nuance and of the general principle of bodily autonomy and the definition of Xyphokonic Life.

    Naturally, the Theigriet himself cannot resist meddling in all affairs in any desperate attempt to sow chaos among mortal humans to fit his goals. The theigrited followers of Deceptuary’s orchestrated divergent legions have very quickly latched on this issue of abortion and have used it as a weapon to impose their oppression and seek to hold power over others—namely women. In order for Deceptuary’s plan to work, soldiers and servants with souls corrupted by his influence would need to be born into Xyphojinami as Death would be a natural means of purging out all already-existent corrupted beings. The mere existence of abortion would threaten the chance of Deceptuary to inflict his corruption upon these new souls.

    The desired goal, that being the increase in the corrupted Births, facilitated by the theigrited legions and their organizations, would then make it easy to captivate those new mortals and groom them into becoming future soldiers of Deceptuary’s. On that simple circumstance alone would the Ordinance be greatly inclined to oppose the limit of body liberty of the Soul’s Vessel. The issue is multi-faceted, but generally can be summed up by stating that Souls own their bodies, that bodies are not owned by Souls until near birth, and Deceptuary is attempting to prevent abortion in order to increase the number of corrupted vessels into Xyphojinami. The Ordinance stands by the liberty of the Soul and Vessel and against any such plan of Deceptuary’s to destabilize the Equilibrium through his nefarious ways.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome to the final Commentary on the first section of the Xyphokron’s “Xykozheiz.” This final chapter, which is the shortest of all, is entitled “Equilibrium,” and only consists of three phrases. However, in those three stances, this section establishes the construction of this very Ordinance and its general layout, the main duties of said Ordinance, and the final intended goal from the work done with the Ordinance. So without any further wait, let’s begin.

    The Order was well aware, and with its arms in the Ordinance of the Zhourghei, the branching of the Order among the Spirits and the Mortals to carry out the duties of the Order, would soon meet him there. The Ordinance, led in cooperation of the Children by the Grandurates of Hayles, Arch in rank and communicators of unending Prayer with the Hayles abroad. And of the Grandurates Prinstedt, keepers of the lesson and council of scripture. And of the Deitonian Grandurates, keepers of the Nine Great Temples to be erected and of the grounds and of the practice of duty, and of the Oaundercievals to follow the Deitonian Grandurates to carry out the actions therefore, thirty-three in count. Of these actors of the Ordinance shall the prophecy be Lived through and carried out.”

    While the official name for the Union of the Lords, their Xyphozons, and all that falls under them is called the Xyphokonic Order, the official name of the Ordinance(s) that fall under the Order are named the Ordinance of the Zhourghei—although using the term “Xyphokonic Ordinance” also works, or simply referring to this organization as the “Ordinance” for shorthand.

    This Ordinance is led by a group of nine individuals (in our case and our particular Ordinance, nine Humans of Earth) with the given title of Arch-Hayles Grandurate(s); each Arch-Hayle Grandurate descends from a period of each Xyphozon and acts as the representative of each Xyphozon from the Ordinance. In past times, Arch-Hayle Grandurates would spent their time in unending Prayer on behalf of the rest of the world, but as times have evolved, the management of the Ordinance has expanded and added a more administrative role to the title. As such, these individuals act as an executive council that heads and runs the Ordinance while also spending significant time conducting universal Prayer on behalf of all.

    One of the eventual goals (although not a main priority until after Equilibrium has been restored but still idealistic whenever possible) of the Ordinance is to construct 9 great temples, aptly named the Zhourghei(s), that represent each Xyphozon and will be the base of operations for each Arch-Hayle Grandurate.

    Along with these temples will come 3 other levels of hierarchy under the Arch-Hayle Grandurate(s) for each given temple. Immediately below the Arch-Hayle Grandurate is a position called the Prinstedt Grandurate; this position is high advisor of religious and philosophical teaching for each temple and also the keeper of records and Commentary, both from other high officials and from submissions from other Xyphoites to be considered. The Prinstedt Grandurate may also advise others on Xyphoist interpretation, teach the philosophy, and review art and music created for or on the behalf of the Ordinance.

    Next in line is the Deitonian Grandurate(s), and each Deitonian Grandurate for their respective Zhourghei is in charge of the daily management and administrative operations for the temple itself. This includes the management of staff, managing all administrative divisions, seeing the smooth operation of finances, etc.

    Finally, below the Deitonian Grandurate and reporting to said official are the 33 Oaundercievals—a group of Zhourghei staff that carry out the general operating duties of the temple itself; this staff is ranked from the lowest number being the most senior and onward down; thus, the First Oaundercieval is the most senior in rank while the Thirty-third Oaundercieval is the most recent and least senior official of the Zhourghei; additional staff who are unranked may be brought on as needed.

    The prophecy, passed by the Hayles to the remaining followers, who had martyred themselves and would soon be reborn as Daetos Idols, and with the great alliances of Shianiki led by the Children, would pit the damned against the Sacred, and see the great Balancing of the Equilibrium take place. For there will be peace.”

    The Ordinance, as mentioned several times, is established to facilitate the prophetic Truth by lessening the suffering of the world through humanitarian efforts and preparing for Deceptuary’s eventual rebellious defeat. Conducting these humanitarian efforts will help balance the Cosmos and aid in stabilizing our unstable existence as it stands now.

    Equally All Things Shall be in Balance.”

    Finally, the final phrase simply states the end goal and prophetic conclusion the Ordinance is working for; we seek to rebalance this World as the mortal wing to the Xyphokonic Order as instructed to us by the Hayles who have been told this Truth directly from the Lords.

    And that’s the first section of the Xyphokron; all other sections of the Xyphokron function as manuals and books to elaborate in GREAT detail the base concepts we covered in these first nine Commentaries. The Xyphokron also comes with a glossary for all the main Xyphoist terms used in the rest of the scripture itself.

    As we close up this first Commentary project, we’d like to preview what future posts will look like on this website. From here on, posts here will be focused on offering Xyphoist interpretations on various topics, giving dialogue and Commentary on current invents from a Xyphoist perspective, general information on what’s going on with the Ordinance from a religious standpoint (all updates on the humanitarian efforts or charity will be posted on our sister website once funding and setup is complete, and finally we will also make posts on some of the lesser concepts in the Xyphokron we didn’t have time to cover in our initial nine posts.

    These future posts may be authored and edited by all the Arch-Hayle Grandurates et. al as we’ve currently been doing, or individual AHG may pen and sign off on Commentary they post on their own or in collaboration with other AHG(s). In such a case, those commentary will be tagged so you can find each AHG’s contributions and writing easily, and often we will write individually on topics that we find the most intriguing or have special knowledge/experience over. Some topics we cover may be controversial in nature and will be handled professionally, and we expect any comments on this site to follow this orderly and cordial nature as well.

    Schedule-wise, we will always post at least one Commentary on Saturdays, but smaller or individual posts may take place all throughout the week and will be labeled clearly as either “Commentary” or general posts. With all of that said, we thank you for joining us on these first nine posts and hope to see you again during our next posts. Until then, have a Sacred Day.
