Greetings, all, from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We have entered the verdant and lush Xyphojinamic Period of Maiye, and Lord Nakndes’s is currently watching over us kindred souls. As we’ve entered Her wonderful period of oversight, it would seem appropriate for us to speak of Her attribute: Nature. We here in the Ordinance briefly went over the Xyphokron’s first section initially, so there wasn’t much discussion regarding each attribute on its own. Now, we have the opportunity to dig deeper into these attributes and concepts, and so this Commentary will be spent speaking of the Xyphoist definition of Nature and Natural Force.

Nature is a general term with dual meaning in Xyphoist Philosophy—being both a term for those of spiritual existence that do not fall neatly within that of Humans or Beast, but also the divine attribute of the Cosmic flow of excess spirituality that dictates the rules and laws that our very beings are conjured from. In the latter case, Xyphoist Philosophy refers to Nature as the “creating force” of our vessels and of the laws of our realms.

Natural Force is a more specific term to describe this Cosmic flow, and such an attribute acts upon Manifestation and Realmly Structure established under Lord Caspierre. By using those spiritual bones, Nature weaves around that structure and forms all that we exist in and are beholden to. As such, as we can learn through the Sacred Lesson given the Child of Nature, Nature is the creating force and we, as subjects of it, cannot conquer nor destroy the creating force. Attempts to do so are often a result of Hubris, and will be met eventually with the Cosmos correcting the Hubris-stricken action with overwhelming force.

We often see large examples of Natural Force reprimanding the Hubris of Humanity, such as a dam failing do to extraordinary floods, or water drying up in human settlements build in the desert, cyclones, typhoons, tornadoes, and other types of storms blowing and washing away civilization build in regions prone to such conditions. While we as humans have tried our best to build and invent structures to manage Nature, in the end, we are wiped away by the overwhelming force no matter any attempt we make—and that is meant to be. We are of Nature, we are subject to its rules, and we can dream of conquering it for as long as we want, but just as the Rose is laced with thorns, Nature is meant to be lived by and with, not meant to be subjugated; in fact, it cannot be in the end. Those that reach such levels of Hubris will be eradicated by the creating force in the end.

Now, Nature as a term to mean all mortal existence that doesn’t fit neatly in the major named groups of mortality usually refers to forms of Life that aren’t Shianiki, Human, Karsek, Alle Lorde, or Beast. Generally, to simplify things, we see things such as plant life and other organism that aren’t those other groups. As the term is dual-meaning, simply the flow of climate, of reality, and of existence can also be considered Nature. In Xyphoist Philosophy, the term itself is quite versatile, and Natural Flow is linked directly to the Cosmos, which explains its versatility and ability to flex and bend and change and move.

Hopefully, that elaborates more on the term Nature, both as a form of mortal existence and as a divine attribute. It’s lovely to get this opportunity to speak on the basics again, as we didn’t get much time during our Xyphokron exploration. We will have other topics regarding Lord Nakndes’s attribute and of Nature all this period as we inundate ourselves on this topic for this period. Have a Sacred Day!
