Greetings from the Xyphokonic Ordinance and Order. Today we will be discussing the connections between beings inflicted with corruption and the inevitability of the Spiritual Ends by such circumstances. We’ll discuss how letting Hubris, corruption, immorality, and evil—particularly of the theigrited case—will lead to the inevitable downfall of those who partake in such dubious paths. Let’s begin.

As spoken before, Hubris is an acute flaw that inflicts Humanity—although it is not limited to Humans. Along with its proclivity to lead to corruption, Xyphoist Philosophy recognizes the path downward into corruption as one that will eventually lead to the downfall of whoever takes it. In much the same way that the lesson about the Faces of Death will align with how one interacts with Death, so too shall the Spiritual End of someone struck with evil be equally as fitting.

Within Xyphoist Philosophy, we recognize a key concept of this inevitable self-destruction as key to the end of both the Theigriet but also to all that follow in his shadow. When the Lords of the Xyphokonic Order were establishing said Order, they created liberties for all beings to have. Within those liberties, and also included in one of the Immoral Acts, is the liberty to be free of punishment outside of the Lords themselves for immoral or theigrited actions; only the Lords themselves shall conduct Divine Punishment and no other Spirituality shall do so. It is immoral to go outwardly and punish theigrits specifically because the Philosophy dictates that they will self-destruct on their own so long as we continue to defend and practice our Philosophy correctly. Below we see the Lords establishing this concept.

“…that the Spirit be left unpunished outside of Divine Means by those in the Order for breaking of Law, as the immoral and theigrited shall inevitably destroy on their own and not need such petulant overtaking of Divine Authority.”

This concept doesn’t incorporate cases where the institutions of the Order and Ordinance are attacked, in which it is no longer an act of willful aggression so much as defense against being attacked. It is in those circumstances that the Echelons of Action come into play.

In cases throughout Human history, we’ve seen figures bathed in evil have these great downfalls. In nearly every case, these people allowed not only their corruption to consume them, but also allowed their Hubris to blind them from the inevitable cliff before their path. We, as Xyphoites, believe that our efforts in mitigating worldly suffering, being adamant on our Prayer and Practice, and doing all we can to Maintain the Equilibrium will naturally set up the conditions that will prevent realmly decay, prevent evil from overtaking existence, and allow such evil and theigritism to fail to its own means. The only destination for paths of corruption and evil is inevitable destruction and the Spiritual End that comes with it.
