AMADODA NABANGANE

Ngabe ukhona owaziyo ukuthi lesi sikhungo sikuzungeze kuphi lapho ilanga lethu namaplanethi alo kubukeka ngathi kuyaphenduka? Ngifunde ukuthi kungenzeka kube yi-Alcyone noma i-Sirius.

Izazi zezinkanyezi okwamanje azikanqumi ukuthi iyiphi inkanyezi eyisizinda somkhathi e-toto. Ngayinye yalezo zinkanyezi ezazicabanga ukuthi iyisikhungo okwenziwe ngazo lapho kwenziwa uphenyo lwatholakala ukuthi ziyahamba. Uma nje izazi zezinkanyezi zibambelele ohlangothini olungokomzimba lwezinkanyezi, azikwazi ukuthola indawo. Iqiniso ngukuthi, akukho noyedwa walezo zinkanyezi ezibonakalayo oyisizinda sendawo yonke. Isikhungo somkhathi asibonakali futhi asifanele ukutholwa izibonakude. Lokho okubonakalayo kwendawo yonke kuyingxenye encane yomkhathi wangempela, ngomqondo ofanayo wokuthi lokho okubonwa ngumuntu, umzimba wakhe wenyama, kuyingxenye encane yomuntu wangempela. Umzimba wenyama, kungaba owomuntu noma wendawo yonke, unenqubo yokwakha ehlanganisa izinhlayiya ezibonakalayo zihlangane. Ngalesi simiso esakhayo sisebenza omunye umthetho, umgomo wokuphila. Umgomo wokuphila udlulela ngale kwemigomo yokwakha neyokwakha futhi ugcina zonke izinhlayiya zomzimba wenyama nayo yonke imizimba isesikhathini ngokuhamba. Umgomo wokuphila ngokwawo ufakwa emgomweni omkhulu wokuthi, emqondweni womuntu, awunamkhawulo njengoba kunesikhala. Lo mgomo ubanjwa ngababhali bezinkolo nemibhalo njengoNkulunkulu. Kungumqondo we-Universal, okubandakanya zonke izinto ezibonakalayo, ezibonakalayo noma ezingabonakali. Inobuhlakani futhi inamandla onke, kepha ayinazo izingxenye ngomqondo ofanayo wokuthi isikhala asinazo izingxenye. Ngaphakathi kuwo indawo yonke ebonakalayo isiyonke futhi zonke izinto ziphila futhi ziyahamba futhi ziyabakhona. Lesi yisikhungo somkhathi. "Lesi sikhungo sikuyo yonke indawo nokuyindawo esikuyo."

Yini eyenza inhliziyo yomuntu ishaye; ingabe ukududuza kwamaza avela elangeni, futhi kuthiwani ngokuphefumula?

Ukuhanjiswa yilanga akubanga ukushaya kwenhliziyo, yize ilanga liphathelene nokujikeleza kwegazi nakho konke okuphilayo emhlabeni. Enye yezimbangela zokushaywa yinhliziyo yisenzo sokuphefumula egazini njengoba kuthintana ne-pulmonary alveoli, amagumbi omoya wamaphaphu. Lesi isenzo sokuphefumula emzimbeni wegazi elisemzimbeni, okuyisiteshi esikuyo esiyinhliziyo. Kepha isenzo sokuphefumula akusona imbangela yangempela yokushaya kwenhliziyo. Imbangela eyinhloko ukuba khona komzimba wophiko lwengqondo olungena emzimbeni lapho luzalwa futhi luhlale phakathi nokuphila komzimba. Le nhlangano yemilingo ihlobene nenye engekho emzimbeni, kepha ehlala kumkhathi womzimba, izungeze futhi isebenze emzimbeni. Ngesenzo nokusebenzisana kwalezi zinhlaka ezimbili, ukuphefumula ngaphakathi nangaphandle kuyaqhubeka ngokuphila. I-psychic emzimbeni esemzimbeni ihlala egazini futhi yiyo ngqo le nhlangano yezengqondo ehlala egazini lapho inhliziyo ibangelwa ukushaywa.

“Inhliziyo yomuntu” yindaba enkulu; “Ukuphefumula” kuyindaba enkulu; okuningi kungabhalwa ngabo. Ukuze sikwazi ukuphendula ingxenye yokugcina yombuzo: “futhi kuthiwani ngokuphefumula” kumele saziswe “ngani ngakho.”

Kuyini ukuhlobana phakathi kwenhliziyo nemisebenzi yobulili-futhi ukuphefumula?

Inhliziyo yomuntu kungashiwo ngokufanele ukuthi inwebeka kuwo wonke umzimba. Nomaphi lapho imithambo, imithambo noma ama-capillaries, kukhona khona izinhliziyo zenhliziyo. Uhlelo lokujikeleza kuphela komkhakha wokusebenza kwegazi. Igazi liyindlela yokuphefumula yokuxhumana phakathi kwezitho nomzimba. Igazi, ngakho-ke, liyisithunywa esiphakathi kokuphefumula nezitho zobulili. Siphefumula amaphaphu, amaphaphu adlulisela umoya aya egazini, isenzo segazi sivusa izitho zobulili. Ku Umhleli we-Zodiac, V., ovele ku Izwi, Vol. 3, amakhasi 264-265, umbhali ukhuluma ngendlala yeLuschka, isitho esithile sesifiso, njengesifiso sobulili. Lapho, kuthiwa lapho ukweqa ngakunye igazi kuyashukunyiswa futhi kusebenze nasezindabeni zeLuschka nokuthi lesi sitho sivumela amandla adlala ngawo ukuba ehle ezansi noma phezulu. Uma yehlela ezansi iphumela ngaphandle, isebenza ngokubambisana nesitho esisondelene nayo, okuyi-virgo, kepha uma ikhuphukela phezulu yenziwa ukuba yenze njalo ngokuthanda futhi indlela yayo isesimweni somgogodla. Inhliziyo iyisiteshi esiyisisekelo segazi, futhi iyihholo lokwamukela lapho yonke imicabango engena emzimbeni ithola izilaleli ngengqondo. Imicabango yesimo sobulili ingena emzimbeni ngezitho zobulili; basukuma bafake isicelo sokungena enhliziyweni. Uma umqondo ubanikeza izilaleli enhliziyweni futhi uzijabulisa ukujikeleza kwegazi kuyakhuphuka negazi eliqhutshwa ezingxenyeni ezihambelana nomcabango. Ukujikeleza okwandayo kudinga ukuphefumula okusheshayo ukuze igazi lihlanzwe yi-oxygen ephefumulelwa emaphashini. Kudinga imizuzwana engamashumi amathathu ukuze igazi lidlule enhliziyweni lisuka emithanjeni liye emikhawulweni yomzimba libuyele enhliziyweni enhliziyweni yemithambo, okwenza umjikelezo owodwa ophelele. Inhliziyo kumele idonsa ngokushesha futhi umoya ube mfushane lapho imicabango yobulili ijabulisa futhi izitho zobulili zivuselelwa ngegazi elivela enhliziyweni.

Izifo eziningi eziphilayo kanye nezikhalazo zezinzwa zibangelwa ukusetshenziswa kwemali okungenamsebenzi kwamandla okuphila ngemicabango yocansi; noma, uma kungekho zindleko, ngokuphindaphindeka kuwo wonke umzimba wezinzwa wamandla okuphila abuya ezingxenyeni okukhulunywa ngazo nangokubuyela ekujikelezeni kwegazi ezithweni zobulili. Amandla akhiqizayo ayancibilika futhi abulawe yi-rebound. Amaseli afile adlulela egazini eliwasabalalisa emzimbeni. Bangcolisa igazi futhi bagule izitho zomzimba. Ukuhamba komoya kuyinkomba yesimo somqondo kanye nerejista yemizwa yenhliziyo.

Ingabe inyanga ihlobene kangakanani nomuntu neminye impilo emhlabeni?

Inyanga inamandla okukhanga komhlaba nawo wonke uketshezi lomhlaba. Ukuqina kokukhanga kuya ngesigaba senyanga, ukuma kwaso emhlabeni, kanye nenkathi yonyaka. Ukuheha kwayo kunamandla e-ikhwetha futhi kubuthakathaka kakhulu ezigodini. Ithonya lenyanga lilawula ukwanda nokuwa kwesithako kuzo zonke izitshalo futhi kunquma amandla nokusebenza kahle kwezakhiwo zokwelapha ezitshalweni eziningi.

Inyanga ithinta umzimba wezinkanyezi, izifiso ezilwaneni kanye nomuntu, nengqondo emadodeni. Inyanga inohlangothi oluhle nolubi ngokuphathelene nomuntu. Ngokuvamile uhlangothi olubi luboniswa izigaba zenyanga esikhathini sayo sokuncipha; uhlangothi oluhle luxhunywe nenyanga kusukela esikhathini esisha kuya enyangeni egcwele. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza olujwayelekile luguqulwa ngamacala ngamanye; ngoba kuncike ebudlelwaneni obuthile bomuntu ekwakhekeni kwakhe kwengqondo nangokomzimba ngokwezinga inyanga engamthonya ngayo. Wonke amathonya, nokho, angavinjwa ngentando, ukucabanga, nokucabanga.

Ingabe ilanga noma inyanga ilawula noma ilawula isikhathi esibuhlungu? Uma kungenjalo, uthini?

Ilanga alilawuli isikhathi; kuyindaba yolwazi olujwayelekile ukuthi isikhathi sokuya esikhathini senzeka kanye nezigaba ezithile zenyanga. Owesifazane ngamunye uhlobene ngokuhlukile nenyanga ekwakhekeni kwakhe ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo; njengoba ithonya lenyanga libangela ukugoba kulandela ukuthi isigaba esifanayo senyanga asilethi isikhathi kubo bonke abesifazane.

Inyanga idala ukuthi amagciwane akhiqize ukuvuthwa futhi ashiye isibeletho. Inyanga inethonya elifanayo kowesilisa. Inyanga ithonya ukukhulelwa futhi yenze kungenzeki ngezikhathi ezithile, futhi inquma isikhathi sokuthinta nomzuzu wokuzalwa. Inyanga iyisici esiyinhloko sokulawula lezi zikhathi, kanti nenyanga futhi yinto ebaluleke kakhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwesibeletho, ngoba umzimba womama nowesibeletho ngamunye uxhumene ngokuqondile nenyanga. Ilanga liphinde libe nomthelela emisebenzini yesizukulwane; Ithonya lawo lihlukile kulelo lenyanga, kulapho inyanga inika ikhwalithi kazibuthe nethonya emzimbeni we-astral kanye noketshezi, ilanga liphathelene nezimfanelo zikagesi noma zokuphila zomzimba, kanye nomlingiswa, ubunjalo kanye ukufutheka komzimba. Ilanga nenyanga kuthonya owesilisa nowesifazane. Ithonya elanga linamandla kumuntu, kwenyanga kowesifazane.
