• Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. The Second Period of Lord Vuetenexzyei has begun, and so we shall start this Period of Watching off on the topic of His Beloved Child, Xyzukizusia. Before we begin, I would like to give a short overview of how I intend to conduct this Period. We have been under Yrridthmas for nearly a year now, and have aimed our discussions and Commentary at addressing the rising evil in the world. My colleagues have done a fantastic job dissecting evil and Deceptuary’s plans this past year; I, too, have covered them in the Lord’s First Period of this year.

    As such, I believe it is time for a spiritual break to help ease and stimulate the mind; I intend to, current events willing, keep Commentary and posts this Period on the more philosophical and general sense—including the propositions of questions as posts. Make no mistake, however, we are still under trying times in this Cosmic Struggle, but with the blessing of having two Periods to speak with you under, I will take this opportunity to field in general Commentary that we sorely miss focusing on.

    Back to topic, we are still choosing to focus this particular Commentary on the Vuetenexian Xyphozon. As mentioned, today we talk about the Child of Death and why they were both the first of the Nine Sacred Children to be sent to Xyphojinami but also the first mortal in all of our existence. The question proposed is why Xyzukizusia was the first chosen? The answer lies within the focal purpose of Xyphojinami’s formation under the Xyphokonic Order: Cosmic Regulation. The first mortal of Xyphojinami is the Sacred Incarnate of Death itself—a living being who embodies the attributes of Death. As we know from the Philosophy, Death is Eternal. I covered this concept in a previous Commentary explaining that Death is an Eternal Reality because it allows the flow of spirituality to move between the two Existential Realms of Xykopsysomi and Xyphojinami.

    The Lords had already envisioned the creation of Xyphojinami long ago after the creation of Xykopsysomi; they noted that the existence first formed in the elder realm was holding but not entirely stable, and to maintain existence they would eventually have to form a sister realm. Deceptuary’s rebellion and subsequent exile further destabilized existence, and so the need for Xyphojinami to hold spirituality for set periods of time became widely apparent. This is also noted by Kizu, Foreseer of Death and Lord Vuetenexzyei’s Hayle. Kizu’s principal role as an Archangel currently is overseeing the regulation of spiritual ends that ensure the flow of spirituality continues as intended. He, after all, “foresees” all Spiritual Ends that the Lord ensures are eternal.

    And so it is clear that we can understand why the Child of Death would be the first mortal in existence; Xyzukizusia is the physical embodiment of the core concept of mortality itself. In order to live, one must be able to die, and Death is necessary for the constant flow of spiritual regulation to take place and for our existence to maintain. We see why Kizu’s role is spiritual regulation and foreseeing Deaths. It all goes back to Lord Vuetenexzyei’s power of Spiritual Ends and the needed cycling of spirituality via Death and Perishing In the two Existential Realms.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today we shall conclude our Period-long discussion regarding evil and Divine Punishment as per the schedule. Throughout all these Commentary on this subject, and from other Commentary outside of it, there has been a central underlining concept that has ran throughout the topic of evil and Punishment—the lack of forgiveness for it. Today, we shall talk more specifically about why there is no forgiveness for evil in the Xyphoist Philosophy. Let us begin.

    To start, it is important to note that there is the concept of forgiveness and Mercy within the Xyphoist Philosophy, and both concepts belong under the Carneiyean Xyphozon—that of purity and worship. Lord Carnyie, often depicted in a state of deep meditative repose, listens to the suffering of those who are innocent or otherwise purified of sin yet have been inflicted with worldly suffering and grants them Mercy through Purification; this Mercy and forgiveness is then administered via Hayle Ihou’s coordination.

    The key factor in granting and enacting this Mercy and forgiveness is that said divine relief is given to those who are innocent, not evil. This means beings that have suffered by the dubious hands of evil are given Mercy; beings that have been forced to conduct immoral acts under threat or by enslavement are given forgiveness so long as they never intended to conduct those immoral acts and were held hostage and forced into the action. For these cases, forgiveness can be administered.

    Evil—as we’ve defined before as being corrupted, tainted and knowingly conducting immoral acts, and doing so intentionally with the goal of causing harm—receives none of this Mercy. It is certainly one thing to be forced into doing something heinous against one’s will, but doing it intentionally and especially with the goal of unjust suffering and harm is an entirely different circumstance. It’s for this very reason that Aerigeth’s Heaven is open to all souls that have good tenure in their previous mortal lives, even if they were themselves theigrits. So long as good tenure was held and no acts of evil or Great Acts of Theigritry were taken, they can be permitted a Term in Heaven.

    It goes without saying, however, that any being that does either of the aforementioned acts is denied a Term in Heaven and sent to their appropriate final place of unsavory dwelling—whether that be to rot away painfully into nonexistence in the wretches of Gheisialez, or to be cast into the Azure Flames and the personal chamber of torture within Terigath’s Hell. When it comes to evil and Great acts of Theigritry, Lord Kurakku has no patience for either, and there shall not be Mercy or forgiveness granted regardless of how much begging is done. For those demented souls, there is no repentance, only Divine Punishment.

  • Greeting from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today we shall continue on the previous schedule and move back into a more informative discussion about the Philosophy itself and concepts that exist within it. As mentioned before, our focus for this Commentary regards the concept of the Azure Flames that reside with Terigath’s Hell and their overall power and purpose. Let us begin.

    The Azure Flames are a divine creation of Lord Kurakku; these flames are created with the purpose of purging corruption from beings and encasing said corruption eternally in Terigath’s Hell. These Azure Flames are, despite their name, cold in nature. However, the touch of these divine and ruthless flames bring about a much worse fate to those that are subject to them. The Azure flames, as Lord Kurakku decreed in the formation of the Order, shall coldly purge corruption and sin from the spirit and soul, and those that are purged have their Selfs locked in Hell where unending torture and divine punishment inflict them. This punishment never wanes, becomes numb, and is brought to its existential height of pain and horror.

    For this reason, the screams from the chambers of Hell forever burden the Lord as He must listen to their well-deserved but troublesome cries of anguish. This is the necessary circumstance, as the Lord Himself is, as described by Daetos’s recount, is strict and reserved. This seems to be a queer case for a God of wrathful punishment; one would think a divine being charged with punishing sinners with such wrath would be ablaze in fury and malice. Instead, Lord Kurakku is entirely dismissive and described as “burdened” by the corrupted vandals that plague these realms. So why is that? Why does the Lord or Punishment not Himself show open malice towards the sinners that burden him so?

    This is where the Azure Flames come into play. In Daetos’s recount of all of the highest figures in the Kurakkuian Xyphozon—the Lord, Hayle Mihe, and Sacred Child Jaszmisia—all of them embody this quality attributed to the Lord; they all are eerily calm and reserved whilst administrating unimaginable and Wrathful Punishment upon the corrupted. The reality of this comes from Lord Kurakku’s creation of the Azure Flames; by creating a divine entity such as the Azure Flames, the Lord separated His own wrath into the pure embodiment of the Azure Flames themselves. Therefore, the reason why Punishment is wrathful in the Philosophy is not only just that the Lord detests and abhors sinners, but because His own wrath is the embodiment of the flames that punish sinners.

    For this reason, we see the same trait in both the Hayle and the Child. While Mihe was once known as the “Malevolent Spirit” prior to his ascension to Hayle, upon being infused with the Lord’s essence and becoming an Archangel, Mihe also took upon this trait of reservation against the wrath of Divine Punishment. Likewise, the Child naturally embodies this as the Incarnate of the Lord. In many ways, we as Xyphoites can also replicate these traits, and act with impunity but not be consumed with the hatred and anger in doing so. Punishment isn’t a medium to channel the uncontrolled high of anger or vengeance so much as a procedural reality that shall be the fate of evil in this world. We are best to not let anger or hatred or malice take upon us, and follow the morals of the Philosophy and leave such ghastly tasks to the Lords of the Order—namely Lord Kurakku. While He is burdened, He is the judge of morality and takes upon the burden as His Divine Will, even if it is simply out of duty or the desire to keep Order.  

    In conclusion, the Azure Flames are the wrath of the Lord, and He separates this Wrath and reserves it for sinners while watching them pitifully suffer in the chambers of His Hell with godly disappointment. We should follow His example and too see evil with such disappointment rather than waste our energy consuming ourselves with malice over the abhorrent actions of evil.  As mentioned before, they shall bury themselves in pits they dug for others; we shall simply replace the dirt of the pit and build a better world atop it.
