Izipoki Ezingakaze Zabe Zabantu

KUNEnkolelo evamile futhi ebilokhu ikhona, yokuthi kunezinhlanga zezidalwa ezingebona abantu, nezingezona izipoki zabantu abaphilayo, noma izipoki zabafileyo. Lezi zidalwa ziyizipoki ezingakaze zibe amadoda. Babizwa ngamagama ahlukahlukene: onkulunkulu nesigamu-onkulunkulu, izingelosi, odeveli, fairies, elves, spunkies, kelpies, brownies, nymphs, imps, hobgoblins, oreads, hyads, dryads, naiads, nereids, fauns, satyrs, succubi, ama-incubi, ama-elemental, ama-gnomes, ama-undines, ama-sylphs, nama-salamanders.

Ezikhathini zangaphambili, inkolelo yezidalwa ezinjalo yayigcwele yonke indawo. Bambalwa ababengabaza ukuba khona kwazo. Namuhla, ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi, lezi zidalwa zitholakala kumuntu ezincwadini zezinganekwane eziphrintiwe kanye nezincwadi zezindaba kuphela. Abahlengikazi nomama, uma bevela ezweni, basatshela abancane ngabo, kodwa imilolozelo kaMama Goose yiyona ekhethwayo.

Kwenzekeni ngemimoya iNdiya laseNyakatho Melika elalikholelwa ukuthi ibangela ukuzamazama komhlaba, izimvula, izivunguvungu, imililo, eyazalisa amahlathi, eyayiphuma emachibini nasemifuleni, eyayisina phezu kwezimpophoma futhi idlala ekukhanyeni kwenyanga, eyayihleba emimoyeni, emimo yayo enjengomlilo yayikhanya ekuntweleni kokusa okubomvu noma umzila welanga elishonayo?

Aphi ama-nymphs, ama-fauns, ama-satyr, ayedlala emifudlaneni nasezihlahleni zaseHellas? Babamba iqhaza futhi baba nendawo ekuphileni kwabantu bangalezo zinsuku. Namuhla abantu abazazi lezi zinhlangano, ngaphandle kokuthi ezindaweni ezingaphandle, eScotland, Wales, Ireland, ezifundeni zaseCarpathian, kuthiwa zikhona.

Izazi ze-alchemists zase-Arabia, France, England, Germany, zabhala kabanzi mayelana nezigaba ezine zama-elemental, izidalwa ezakha izici zemimoya zomlilo, umoya, amanzi nomhlaba. Abanye be-alchemists, uGeber, uRobert Fludd, uParacelsus, uThomas Vaughan, uRoger Bacon, uKhunrath, bakhulume ngokuzana kwabo nalezi zidalwa.

Izidalwa eziyisisekelo akufanele zembulwe i-scalpel ye-anatomist. Izibuko ezikhulisayo zesazi sezinto eziphilayo ngeke zivule indlela yokuya endaweni yazo yokuhlala, futhi neshubhu lokuhlola likasokhemisi ngeke lizembule, izenzo zabo, izindawo zabo, nababusi. Imibono yezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nemicabango yezikhathi zanamuhla ikuchithile kithi, nathi kuyo. Isimo sengqondo sokuzikhukhumeza sesayensi kukho konke okungaphatheki, okungabonakali, futhi ngaphandle kwenani lezentengiselwano, sivimbela noma ubani onganaka futhi acabangisise ngezinhlanga zokuqala. Ukukhishwa Esontweni NgeNkathi Ephakathi namuhla kufana nakho ekuxoshweni kwembuka ezinhlwini zothisha besayensi abahlomile abagqoke futhi bondliwe enyuvesi. Izimbongi namaciko, ilayisensi inikezwa ukuze bazixake ngalezi zinto ezingezona ezingokoqobo; kungase kube ngenxa yokuthi bahlushwa ukuba kumnandi.

Othisha besayensi yesimanje bahlekisa ngemfundiso emayelana nabantu abaqavile. Obaba besayensi yesimanje bahlala ezinyaweni zika-Aristotle, owayekholelwa emijahweni eyisisekelo. UParacelsus noVon Helmont, abavundululi bezinto ezibalulekile zamakhemikhali esimanje, bathi bayakwazi ukuyala eminye yemimoya yemvelo.

KumaGreki sinefilosofi yethu, ubuciko bethu, isifiso sokugwema isisekelo, nezifiso zethu zobuhle. Akukona ukuba abafundile ukuhleka usulu lokho okwakungeyona nje inkolelo, kodwa kwakubhekwa njengeqiniso yila maGreki.

Indaba yezipoki ezingakaze zibe ngamadoda, izophathwa lapha ngaphansi kwezihloko ezimbili ezibanzi: okokuqala, indawo yazo ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo, kanye nemvelo kanye nokwenziwayo; okwesibili, ubuhlobo babo nomuntu.

Indaba ingeyezifundazwe eziningi, izindiza kanye nomhlaba. Indaba yomhlaba iphinde yehlukaniswe yaba izindiza namadigri amaningi. Izidalwa zomhlaba ziyazazi izimo ezithile ngodaba lomhlaba wazo, kodwa hhayi kuzo zonke izimo zendaba yalowo mhlaba. Izimo zendaba izidalwa zanoma yimuphi umhlaba ezizaziyo, ngokuvamile ziyizimo ezimbi kakhulu zendaba yalowo mhlaba. Indaba abayaziyo ihlobene nendaba yemizimba yalowo mhlaba. Ukuze baqaphele enye into ngaphandle kwalolo hlobo lwemizimba yabo, imizimba yabo kufanele ihambisane nokuthinta leyo enye indaba. Izidalwa zomhlaba wenyama azizazi izidalwa zomhlaba wengqondo, noma izidalwa zomhlaba wengqondo, noma izidalwa zomhlaba kamoya. Umhlaba ngamunye uyingxenye eyodwa, futhi leyo nto iyindaba yalowo mhlaba.

Ingxenye yawo wonke umhlaba owodwa ihlukaniswe yaba yizifunda nezindiza ezihlukahlukene. Kunento eyodwa eyinhloko yalowo mhlaba, kodwa leyo nto yokuqala ayaziwa izidalwa zalowo mhlaba eziqaphela kuphela indiza ezisebenza kuyo emizimbeni yazo. Umhlaba wethu wenyama uzungezwe, ungenwe, usekelwe, eminye imihlaba emithathu, ingqondo, ingqondo, nomoya. Izakhi zale mihlaba umhlaba, amanzi, umoya, nomlilo.

Ngalezi zakhi akusho umhlaba esihamba kuwo, amanzi esiwaphuzayo, umoya esiwuphefumulayo, nomlilo esiwubona njengelangabi. Ngaphakathi kwalezi zenzakalo yilapho izakhi ezine ezingaziwa ezikhona zizokwaziwa ngayo.

Umhlaba kamoya uyingxenye yomlilo. Umkhathi obonakalisiwe uqala futhi uphela kulo mhlaba. Kuyo kufakwe eminye imihlaba emithathu ebonakalisiwe. Umlilo uyisici somoya, isici somhlaba kamoya. Umlilo unguMoya. Izwe loMlilo liyiPhakade. Emkhakheni wayo omsulwa eminye imihlaba inezindawo zayo, omunye phakathi komunye. Kuyo abukho ubumnyama, usizi, ukufa. Lapha zonke izidalwa zemihlaba ebonakalisiweyo zinemvelaphi nesiphetho sazo. Isiqalo nesiphetho kukodwa kwaPhakade, emlilweni. Isiqalo siwukudlulela emhlabeni olandelayo; isiphetho yikubuya. Kukhona uhlangothi olungabonakali kanye nohlangothi olubonakalisiwe lwe-fire sphere. Umlilo walelo zwe awubhubhisi, awushisi. Ipha izidalwa zayo ngomlilo, umoya weqiniso, futhi izenza zingafi. Indaba kulowo mhlaba ifihlekile noma ingenzeka. Umlilo ungamandla asebenzayo.

Ngaphakathi kwengxenye ebonakalisiwe yezwe lomlilo, yizwe lengqondo. Lelo zwe, indaba yalo okuyindaba yokuphila, i-athomu, yindilinga yomoya. Lo moya awuwona umkhathi wethu wenyama. Yisici sesibili endaweni yonke ebonisiwe, futhi okwamanje ayaziwa ngabaphenyi bemvelo. Indaba noma izidalwa zasemoyeni azikwazi ukubonwa ngezinzwa zomuntu. I-air sphere kanye nalokho okukuyo kubonakala ngengqondo; yingakho ubizwa ngokuthi umhlaba wengqondo. Akuzona zonke izidalwa ze-elementi yomoya ezinengqondo. Nakuba indawo yomlilo kwakuyiPhakade, umhlaba wengqondo wumhlaba wesikhathi. Isikhathi sinomsuka waso emhlabeni wengqondo, osengxenyeni ebonakaliswayo yePhakade. Kulo mhlaba izikhathi zokuphila kwazo zonke izidalwa ezisezweni lempilo nasemihlabeni emibili ephansi zilawulwa. Kukhona uhlangothi olungabonakali kanye nohlangothi olubonakalisiwe lwendilinga yomoya. Ezweni lengqondo azikho izinhlobo ngomqondo lapho abantu abanemibono evusa amadlingozi bebona noma bazi ngayo amafomu. Ezweni lengqondo kukhona izinhlobo zengqondo, hhayi izinhlobo ezivusa inkanuko. Izidalwa ezisemhlabeni kamoya nowengqondo azinazo izimo ngendlela esizibona ngayo; umbono wethu wesimo ngobuningi, uhlaka, nombala.

Ngaphakathi kwengxenye ebonisiwe yendawo yomoya kukhona indawo yamanzi, umhlaba wengqondo. Leli yizwe lapho kusebenza khona izinzwa zethu ezinhlanu. Yiqiniso, lokhu okubizwa ngokuthi amanzi akuyona inhlanganisela yamakhemikhali e-hydrogen nomoya-mpilo. Udaba kulo mhlaba luyi-molecular. Leli yizwe lezinhlobo, lezimo. Umkhakha wamanzi uwumhlaba wemizwa nemizwelo. Umhlaba wezinkanyezi uqondwa kulo mhlaba we-psychic, kepha awubanzi nawo. Lokho okwaziwa ngokuthi yi-astral world, ingxenye ephansi noma eguquguqukayo yohlangothi olubonakalisiwe lomhlaba wengqondo. I-sphere ye-elementi yamanzi inohlangothi olungabonakali futhi olubonakalisiwe.

Ngaphakathi kohlangothi olubonakalisiwe lwendilinga yamanzi kunendilinga yomhlaba. Lesi sigcawu somhlaba akuwona neze umhlaba wethu ongokoqobo. Isici somhlaba noma indawo yomhlaba inezinhlangothi zayo ezibonisiwe nezingabonakali. Uhlangothi olubonakalisiwe lwendilinga yomhlaba lapha lubizwa ngokuthi umhlaba obonakalayo futhi lunezindiza ezine, eziqinile, eziwuketshezi, ezinomoya, kanye nomlilo, njengokukhazimulayo. Kunezinye izindiza ezintathu zendilinga yomhlaba, kodwa azingeni phakathi kobubanzi bemizwa yethu emihlanu, futhi lezi zindiza ezintathu zohlangothi olungabonisiwe lwendilinga yomhlaba azibonwa yithi.

Ukuze abone izinto ezindizeni ezintathu ezingenhla noma ezingabonakali zendilinga yomhlaba, umuntu kumelwe ukuba wathuthuka noma waphiwa lapho ezalwa izinzwa ezihambisana nalezo zindiza ezintathu. Abantu ababona izinto, noma bezwa noma behogela izinto ezingezona ezomzimba, ngokuvamile bacabanga ukuthi babona nge-astral; kodwa eqinisweni, ezimweni eziningi, babona ngezindiza ezingabonakali zendilinga yomhlaba.

Inhloso yaloluhlaka ukubeka kucace ukuthi imihlaba okukuyo izidalwa eziyisiqalo, ifinyelela komunye nomunye; kanye nokwenza kucace ukuthi imbulunga yomhlaba ihlanganiswa futhi ingene phakathi kwezinye izinhlangothi ezintathu. Isici ngasinye seminye imihlaba emithathu sixhumene futhi sisebenza kumkhakha womhlaba. Izifunda ezine zezinto ezibonakalayo, eziqinile, eziwuketshezi, ezinomoya, ezivuthayo, zihambisana nemikhakha emine emikhulu yezakhi ezine zemimoya, umhlaba, amanzi, umoya, umlilo.
