Kungenzeka yini futhi kulungile ukubuka ikusasa nokubikezela izenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo?
Kungenzeka kodwa kulunge kakhulu ukubheka esikhathini esizayo. Ukuthi kungenzeka kufakazelwa emakhasini amaningi omlando. Ngokuqondene nokuba yikho okufanele lokho kufanele kunqunywe ngokuqina komuntu nokwahlulela okuhle. Umngani ubengeke eluleke omunye ukuthi azame ukubheka esikhathini esizayo. Umuntu obheka ikusasa alindi ukululekwa. Uyabukeka. Kepha kulabo ababheka esikhathini esizayo, bambalwa abakwaziyo ukuthi babheke ini. Uma bebheka futhi babone, yilapho kuphela ikusasa sekuyisikhathi esidlule lapho abazi khona ukuthi bakubonile lapho bebuka. Uma umuntu ebheka esikhathini esizayo ngokwemvelo, akukho ukulimala okuthile ekuqhubekeni kwakhe kokubukeka, kepha bambalwa abakwazi ukuzuza kunoma yikuphi ukuhlinzwa ekusebenzeni. Ukulimaza kuza cishe njalo ngokuqagela kusuka ekubikezeleni lokho okubukwayo acabanga ukukubona.
Uma umuntu ebuka noma ebona ikusasa wenza kanjalo ngezinzwa zakhe, okungukuthi, izinzwa zakhe zezinkanyezi; noma ngamakhono akhe, okungukuthi, amakhono engqondo; futhi ayikho ingozi ethile ekwenzeni kanjalo, inqobo nje uma engazami ukuhlanganisa umhlaba abona kuwo nalomhlaba wenyama. Lapho ezama ukubikezela izenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo kulomhlaba kulokho okubonakala kwelinye izwe, uyadideka; akakwazi ukukuhlobanisa lokho akubonile futhi akufake endaweni yako esikhathini esizayo kulomhlaba wenyama; futhi kunjalo nakuba abone ngempela. Izibikezelo zakhe ngeke kuthenjelwe kuzo uma zisetshenziswa ezenzakalweni zesikhathi esizayo kulo mhlaba wenyama, ngoba azenzeki ngendlela ebikezelwe ngesikhathi, noma ngendlela, noma endaweni. Obonayo noma ozama ukubona ikusasa ufana nosana olubonayo noma oluzama ukubona izinto ngalo. Lapho ingane ikwazi ukubona, iyajabula impela, kodwa yenza amaphutha amaningi ekuqondeni kwayo nasekuhluleleni lokho ekubonayo. Alikwazi ukwazisa ubuhlobo noma ibanga phakathi kwezinto. Ibanga alikho kusana. Izozama ukubamba ikhanjana ngokuzethemba okukhulu njengoba ibamba ikhala likanina futhi ayiqondi ukuthi kungani ingafinyeleli ekhanseleni. Umuntu obuka ikusasa ubona izehlakalo kanye nezifiso ezizokwenzeka, ngoba akanalo ukwahlulela ngokuhlobana kwalokho akubona emhlabeni akubona kuwo, nomhlaba wenyama, futhi ngenxa yokuthi akanakukwazi. linganisela isikhathi somhlaba wenyama okungenzeka kuso maqondana nesenzakalo abheke kuso. Izibikezelo eziningi ziyafezeka, nakuba kungenjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi njengoba kubikezelwe. Ngakho-ke, akuhlakaniphile ukuba abantu bathembele ekubikezelweni kwalabo abazama ukubheka ikusasa ngokusebenzisa i-clairvoyance noma ezinye izinzwa zangaphakathi, ngoba abakwazi ukusho ukuthi yiziphi izibikezelo eziyoba yiqiniso.
Labo abathembela ezibikezelweni ezivela kulokho ngokuvamile okubizwa ngokuthi “izindiza zangaphakathi” noma “ukukhanya kwe-astral,” balahlekelwa elinye lamalungelo abo abaluleke kakhulu, okungukuthi, ukwahlulela kwabo. Ngoba, noma ngabe kunamaphutha amaningi umuntu angawenza ekuzameni ukwahlulela izinto nemibandela, uzokwahlulela ngokufanele kuphela ngokufunda, futhi ufunda ngamaphutha akhe; kanti, uma efunda ukuthembela kwabanye ukuqagela, akasoze abahlulela kahle. Umuntu obikezela izehlakalo zesikhathi esizayo akanaso isiqiniseko sokuza kweqiniso kwazo njengoba kubikezelwe, ngoba umqondo noma ubuciko okwenziwa ngabo isibikezeli buhlobene nezinye izinzwa noma amakhono. Ngakho-ke umuntu obona noma ezwa kuphela, futhi lokho ngokungaphelele, futhi ozama ukubikezela lokho akubonile noma akuzwile, kungenzeka ukuthi unembile ngandlela thile, kodwa ukudida labo abathembela ekubikezelweni kwakhe. Ukuphela kwendlela eqinisekile yokubikezela izehlakalo zangesikhathi esizayo yilowo obikezela ukuba nezinzwa zakhe noma amakhono akhe aqeqeshelwe ukuhlakanipha; kuleso simo umqondo noma ubuhlakani obuthile buzohlobene nezinye futhi konke kuzokwenziwa ngokuphelele ukuze kusetshenziswe ngokunemba okukhulu njengaleyo lapho indoda ikwazi ukusebenzisa izinzwa zayo esenzweni sayo nasekuhlobene nalomhlaba wenyama.
Ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yombuzo ukuthi: Ngabe kunjalo? Esimweni somuntu samanje akulungile, ngoba uma umuntu ekwazi ukusebenzisa izinzwa zangaphakathi futhi azixhumanise nemicimbi kanye nezimo zomhlaba, kuzomnika ithuba elingalungile kubantu ahlala phakathi kwabo. Ukusetshenziswa kwezinzwa zangaphakathi kuzokwenza ukuthi indoda ibone okwenziwe abanye; ukubona kwalo okuzoletha imiphumela ethile njengokuphonswa kwebhola emoyeni bekuyophumela ekuweni kwalo. Uma umuntu ebona ibhola liphonswa futhi wakwazi ukulandela ijika lendiza yalo, futhi enolwazi, angaqikelela ngokunembile ukuthi lizowela kuphi. Ngakho-ke, uma umuntu ebengasebenzisa izinzwa zangaphakathi ukubona lokho okwase kwenziwe kakade emakethe yesitoko noma kumibuthano yokuxhumana nabantu noma ezindabeni zombuso, wayeyokwazi ukusebenzisa ngokunenzuzo okungalungile lokho okuhloselwe ukuba yimfihlo, futhi akwazi ukwakheka kanjalo izenzo zakhe zokuthi azizuzise yena noma labo ayeba nentshisekelo kuye. Ngale ndlela wayezoba umqondisi noma umphathi wezindaba futhi akwazi ukusebenzisa futhi alawule abanye ababengenawo amandla anjengelakhe. Ngakho-ke, ngaphambi kokuba kube okulungile ukuba indoda ibheke esikhathini esizayo futhi ibikezele izehlakalo zesikhathi esizayo, kufanele ukuthi iye yanqoba ukuhaha, intukuthelo, inzondo nobugovu, inkanuko yezinzwa, futhi kumele ingathinteki kulokho akubonayo nokubikezelayo. Kumele akhululeke kuzo zonke izifiso zokuphathwa noma ezokuthola izinto zezwe.
