Isandulelo esilandelayo sabhalwa eminyakeni eyishumi nane ngaphambi kokushicilelwa kokuqala kwe Ukucabanga Nekusasa. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, uMnu Percival waqhubeka nokusebenza kule ncwadi futhi wethula imigomo emisha, efana nomenzi, umcabango, owaziyo, ifomu lokuphefumula, i-Triune Self kanye ne-Intelligence. Lezi nezinye zihlelwe kulesi Sandulela ukuze zisesikhathini samanje. Yabe isivela njengeSandulela sencwadi kusukela ngo-1946 kuya ku-1971. Inguqulo efushanisiwe, "Indlela Le Ncwadi Eyabhalwa Ngayo," iye yavela njenge-Afterword kusukela ngo-1991 kwaze kwaba sekunyatheliswe kweshumi nanhlanu. Isandulelo sika-Benoni B. Gattell, njengoba sichazwe ngezansi, besiyingxenye yomlando Ukucabanga Nekusasa:

wesandulelisa

Kungase kube nalabo abangathanda ukufunda ngendlela le ncwadi eyakhishwa ngayo uHarold Waldwin Percival. Kubona ngibhala lesi sandulela ngemvume yakhe

Washo ngoba, njengoba eshilo, wayengakwazi ukucabanga nokubhala ngesikhathi esisodwa, njengoba umzimba wakhe kwakufanele uthule lapho efuna ukucabanga.

Washo ngaphandle kokubhekisela kunoma iyiphi incwadi noma elinye igunya. Ayikho incwadi engiyaziyo abengathola kuyo ulwazi lapha ebekwe phansi. Akazange ayithole futhi wayengeke ayithole nge-clairvoyantly noma ngokwengqondo.

Ephendula umbuzo ukuthi waluthola kanjani ulwazi, oludlula imikhakha emine emikhulu kanye ne-Supreme Intelligence, futhi efinyelela ku-Consciousness uqobo, uthe izikhathi eziningana kusukela ebusheni bakhe ubelokhu eqaphela i-Consciousness. Ngakho-ke wayengaqaphela isimo sanoma isiphi isidalwa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuseMkhathini Obonakalisiwe noma Ongabonakali, ngokucabanga ngakho. Wathi uma ecabangisisa ngendaba umqondo wawuphela lapho isifundo sivuleka sisuka ephuzwini sifinyelele ekupheleleni.

Ubunzima ahlangabezane nabo, ngakho wathi, kwakuwukukhipha lolu lwazi ku-Ever-Unmanifested, izinhlaka noma imihlaba, emkhathini wakhe wengqondo. Ubunzima obukhulu nakakhulu kwakuwukuyibeka ngendlela enembile futhi ukuze noma ubani ayiqonde, ngolimi olwalungenawo amagama afanelekile.

Kunzima ukusho ukuthi yikuphi okwakubonakala kuphawuleka kakhulu, indlela yakhe yokusho amaqiniso akhe ngokunembile ngendlela ayenza ngayo noma ukuqinisekiswa kwawo ngokufunda kwakhe izimpawu azisho esahlukweni seshumi nantathu.

Uthe le ncwadi ikhuluma ngezinto ezijwayelekile futhi kukhona okuhlukile okungenakubalwa. Uthe lesi yisikhathi sokucabanga; kunomjikelezo waseNtshonalanga onyakazayo, futhi izimo zakhelwa ukuqonda nokukhula.

Eminyakeni engu-XNUMX edlule wanginika ukwaziswa okuningi manje okukule ncwadi. Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu ngihlala naye endlini eyodwa futhi ngibhala phansi ezinye zezisho zakhe.

Ngenkathi uPercival eshicilela imiqulu engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ye-THE WORD kusukela ngo-Okthoba 1904 kuya kuSeptemba 1917 wangibizela ezinye zeziHlelo, kanti ezinye wangitshela omunye umngane. Zabikelwa ngokuphangisa, ukuba zishicilelwe kumagazini olandelayo WEZWI. Phakathi kwabo kwakukhona abayisishiyagalolunye, kusukela ngo-August 1908 kuya ku-April 1909, nge-Karma. Wafunda leli gama ngokuthi Ka-R-Ma, okusho isifiso nengqondo esenzweni, okungukuthi, imicabango. Imijikelezo yokuphuma ngaphandle komcabango iyisiphetho salowo odale noma othokozise umcabango. Wenza lapho umzamo wokuchaza isiphetho sabo kubantu, ngokubabonisa ukuqhubeka okuhambisana nalokho okubonakala kuyizenzakalo ezingavamile, ezingavamile empilweni yabantu, imiphakathi kanye nabantu.

UPercival ngaleso sikhathi wayehlose ukutshela okwanele ukuze wonke umuntu ofisayo akwazi, ukuthola okuthile mayelana nokuthi wayengubani, wayekuphi nesiphetho sakhe. Ngokuvamile, inhloso yakhe enkulu bekuwukuletha abafundi beZWI ekuqondeni izifunda lapho beqaphela khona. Kule ncwadi ubesho ngaphezu kokusiza noma ngubani ofisa ukwazi ngoKuqaphela. Njengoba imicabango yomuntu, evame ubulili, imvelo, imizwa kanye nemvelo yobuhlakani, yenziwa ngaphandle ezenzweni, ezintweni nasezigigabeni zempilo yansuku zonke, wayefisa futhi ukuxhumana ngolwazi mayelana nokucabanga okungadali imicabango, futhi iyona kuphela. indlela yokukhulula umenzi kulokhu kuphila.

Ngakho-ke wangibikela kabusha iziNdaba zokuHlela eziyisishiyagalolunye zeKarma, izahluko ezine ezikule ncwadi, esesihlanu, sesithupha, sesikhombisa, nesesishiyagalombili, ezithiwa Physical, Psychic, Mental, and Noetic Destiny. Babeyisisekelo. Wabiza isahluko sesibili ukuthi sinikeze iNhloso Nohlelo Lomhlaba Wonke, kanti esesine ukukhombisa Ukusebenza koMthetho Wokucabanga kuso. Esahlukweni sesithathu ukhulume kafushane neZiphikiso abanye abangayenza imibono yabo inqunyelwe ukuthatheka komqondo. Ukuba khona kabusha kufanele kuqondwe ukuze kubanjwe indlela isiphetho esisebenza ngayo; ngakho-ke wabiza isahluko sesishiyagalolunye ngokuba khona kabusha kwezingxenye zabenzi eziyishumi nambili ngokulandelana kwazo. Isahluko seshumi sanezelwa ukuze sikhanyisele Onkulunkulu Nezinkolo zabo. Kweyeshumi nanye wasebenzelana neNdlela Enkulu, Indlela ephindwe kathathu, eya ekungafi okuqaphelayo, lapho umenzi azikhulula khona. Esahlukweni seshumi nambili, Ephuzwini noma Endingilizini, ubonise indlela yomshini yokudalwa okuqhubekayo kwendawo yonke. Isahluko seshumi nantathu, ku-Circle, siphatha uMbuthano ongenamagama ohlanganisa konke kanye namaphuzu ayishumi nambili angenamagama, kanye nombuthano ongaphakathi kwe-Nameless Circle, efanekisela i-Universe iyonke; amaphuzu ayishumi nambili ekuzungezeni kwawo wawahlukanisa ngezibonakaliso zeZodiac, ukuze ziphathwe ngendlela enembile futhi ukuze noma ubani okhethayo adwebe ngemigqa elula uphawu lwejometri okuthi, uma ekwazi ukuyifunda, lufakazele kuye. okulotshiweyo kule ncwadi. Esahlukweni seshumi nane wanikeza uhlelo lapho umuntu angacabanga ngaphandle kokudala imicabango, futhi wabonisa indlela kuphela yenkululeko, ngoba yonke imicabango yenza ikusasa. Kukhona ukucabanga nge-Self, kodwa akukho micabango ngakho.

Kusukela ngo-1912 wachaza indaba ezahlukweni nezingxenye zazo. Noma nini lapho sobabili sitholakala, kuyo yonke le minyaka eminingi, wayesitshela. Wayefuna ukuhlanganyela ulwazi lwakhe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wawumkhulu kangakanani umzamo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwathatha isikhathi eside kangakanani ukulugqokisa amagama afaneleka ngokunembile. Wayekhuluma ngokukhululekile nanoma ubani owayeza kuye futhi efuna ukuzwa kuye ngezindaba ezikule ncwadi.

Akazange asebenzise ulimi olukhethekile. Wayefuna noma ubani oyifundayo ayiqonde le ncwadi. Wakhuluma ngokulinganayo, futhi kancane ngokwanele ukuba ngibhale amazwi akhe ngesandla eside. Nakuba okuningi kwalokho okukule ncwadi kwavezwa ngokokuqala ngqá, inkulumo yakhe yayingokwemvelo futhi ibe nemisho ecacile ngaphandle kwezwi elingasho lutho noma elingasho lutho. Akazange anikeze mpikiswano, umbono noma inkolelo, futhi akazange asho iziphetho. Washo lokho ayekuqaphela. Wayesebenzisa amagama ajwayelekile noma, ezintweni ezintsha, inhlanganisela yamagama alula. Akakaze asikisele. Akazange ashiye lutho olungaqediwe, olungapheli, oluyimfihlakalo. Ngokuvamile wayeyiqeda amandla indaba yakhe, njengoba ayefisa ukukhuluma ngayo, emgqeni ayekuwo. Lapho indaba iphuma komunye umugqa wakhuluma ngayo ngaleyo ndlela.

Lokhu ayekukhulumile wayengakukhumbuli kahle. Wathi akanandaba nokukhumbula imininingwane engangiyibeke phansi. Wayecabanga ngazo zonke izifundo njengoba ephuma, kungakhathalekile ukuthi wayesethini ngakho. Ngakho-ke lapho ebiza izifinyezo zezitatimende zangaphambilini waphinde wacabanga ngezindaba futhi wazuza ulwazi kabusha. Ngakho ngokuvamile kwakunezelwa izinto ezintsha ekufingqweni. Ngaphandle kokuzindla kusengaphambili, imiphumela yokucabanga kwakhe ezihlokweni ezifanayo ngokwemigqa ehlukene, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngezikhawu zeminyaka, yayivumelana. Ngakho esigabeni seshumi nesishiyagalombili sesahluko sokuphila kabusha imibono ihambisana noKuqaphela, ukuqhubeka nokukhohlisa; ezigabeni zokuqala eziyisithupha zesahluko seshumi nane umbono usuka kumbono wokucabanga; nokho ayekusho ngamaqiniso afanayo ngalezi zikhathi ezihlukahlukene ngaphansi kwalezi zimo ezihlukahlukene kwakuhambisana.

Ngezinye izikhathi wayekhuluma ephendula imibuzo ukuze athole eminye imininingwane. Wabuza ukuthi le mibuzo inembe futhi ibe ngephuzu elilodwa ngesikhathi. Ngezinye izikhathi izingxenye zazishiwo kabusha, uma evule isihloko esibanzi kangangokuthi kwakudingeka aphinde asho.

Engangikwehlisele phansi kuye ngakufunda kaningi, futhi ngezinye izikhathi, ngokuhlanganisa imisho yakhe futhi ngiyeke ukuphindaphinda okuthile, ngikulungise ngosizo lukaHelen Stone Gattell, owayebhalele IZWI. Ulimi ayelusebenzisa aluzange lushintshwe. Akukho okungeziwe. Amanye amazwi akhe aguqulwa ukuze afundeke. Lapho le ncwadi isiqediwe futhi isibhalwa ngomshini wayifunda wabe eselungisa isimo sayo sokugcina, efaka esikhundleni samanye amatemu ayeyizihibe ngabajabule kakhudlwana.

Lapho ekhuluma, wakhumbula ukuthi abantu ababoni kahle isimo, ubukhulu, umbala, izindawo futhi abakuboni nhlobo ukukhanya; ukuthi bangabona kuphela ejikeni elibizwa ngokuthi umugqa oqondile futhi bangabona indaba kuphela ezindaweni ezine eziqinile futhi kuphela lapho sesisiningi; ukuthi ukubona kwabo ngokubona kunqunyelwe ubukhulu bento, ibanga layo kanye nemvelo yento engenelelayo; ukuthi kufanele babe nokukhanya kwelanga, okuqondile noma okungaqondile, futhi bangakwazi ukubona umbala ngale kwe-spectrum, noma ukuma ngale kohlaka; nokuthi bangabona izindawo ezingaphandle kuphela hhayi ngaphakathi. Wakhumbula ukuthi imibono yabo ingaphambili ngesinyathelo esisodwa kuphela kunemibono yabo. Wayehlala ekhumbula ukuthi baqaphela umuzwa nesifiso kuphela futhi ngezinye izikhathi bayakuqaphela ukucabanga kwabo. Wakhumbula ukuthi imibono abantu abayitholayo kule mingcele ikhawulelwa nakakhulu amathuba abo okucabanga. Nakuba kunezinhlobo eziyishumi nambili zokucabanga, bangacabanga kuphela ngokohlobo lwezibili, okungukuthi, okwami hhayi mina, enye nenye, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, okubonakalayo nokungabonakali, okubonakalayo nokungabonakali. , ukukhanya nobumnyama, eduze nakude, owesilisa nowesifazane; abakwazi ukucabanga kancane kodwa ngezikhathi ezithile, phakathi kokuphefumula; basebenzisa ingqondo eyodwa kuphela kwezintathu ezikhona; futhi bacabanga kuphela ngezihloko ezisikiselwa ngokubona, ukuzwa, ukunambitha, ukuhogela nokuthintana. Mayelana nezinto ezingezona ezenyama bacabanga ngamagama ngokuvamile ayizingathekiso zezinto ezibonakalayo futhi abavame ukudukiswa ekucabangeni izinto ezingezona ezibonakalayo njengezinto ezibonakalayo. Ngenxa yokuthi alukho olunye ulwazi lwamagama, basebenzisa imigomo yabo yemvelo, njengomoya namandla kanye nesikhathi, ku-Triune Self. Bakhuluma ngamandla esifiso, kanye nomoya njengento ethile noma ngale kwe-Triune Self. Bakhuluma ngesikhathi njengesisebenza ku-Triune Self. Amagama abacabanga ngawo abavimbela ekuboneni umehluko phakathi kwemvelo kanye ne-Triune Self.

Kudala uPercival wenze umehluko phakathi kwezifunda ezine nezifunda zazo ezincane lapho udaba luqaphela ngasohlangothini lwemvelo, kanye namadigri amathathu lapho i-Triune Self iqaphela khona ohlangothini oluhlakaniphile. Wathi imithetho nezimfanelo zemvelo-matter azisebenzi nganoma iyiphi indlela ku-Triune Self, ehlakaniphile-indaba. Wagxila esidingweni sokwenza umzimba wenyama ungafi, phakathi nokuphila. Wakucacisa ukuhlobana kwe-Triune Self ne-aia yayo kanye nefomu lokuphefumula umzimba okhazimulayo ozibumba kulo futhi elibambe umzimba wenyama ophindwe kane. Wahlukanisa phakathi kwezici ezimbili zengxenye ngayinye kwezintathu ze-Triune Self, futhi wabonisa ukuhlobana kwale Self ne-Intelligence ethola kuyo ukukhanya ekusebenzisa ekucabangeni. Wabonisa umehluko phakathi kwemiqondo eyisikhombisa ye-Triune Self. Uveze ukuthi umuntu uzwa izinto ezibonwayo, imisindo, ukunambitha, ukuhogela kanye nokuxhumana okuyizinto eziyisisekelo kuphela futhi eziguqulwa zibe yimizwa inqobo nje uma zithinta umenzi emzimbeni, kepha akawuzwa umuzwa wakhe uhlukile emizweni. Wathi yonke into ephilayo kanye nazo zonke izinto ezihlakaniphile ziqhubeka kuphela lapho zisemzimbeni womuntu. Eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu edlule wagxila ukubaluleka kwezimpawu zejometri futhi wasebenzisa isethi eyodwa, yephuzu noma umbuthano, ohlelweni lwakhe.

Nokho akuveli konke lokhu eZibhalweni zakhe EZWI ngokusobala njengoba kwenzeka kule ncwadi. Izindatshana Zakhe ZEZWI zazinqunywa inyanga nenyanga, futhi nakuba sasingekho isikhathi sokwenza amagama anembile futhi aphelele, izihloko Zakhe kwakudingeka zisebenzise amagama angasebenzi alawo asenyathelisiwe kakade. Amazwi asesandleni sakhe awenzi mehluko phakathi kohlangothi lwemvelo nohlangothi oluhlakaniphile. Igama elithi “umoya” nelithi “okomoya” asetshenziswa njengasebenza ku-Triune Self noma emvelweni, nakuba umoya, wathi, igama elingasetshenziswa ngokufanelekile emvelweni kuphela. Igama elithi “psychic” lalisetshenziswa libhekisela emvelweni kanye naku-Triune Self, ngakho lenza umehluko wezincazelo zalo ezihlukahlukene ube nzima. Izindiza ezifana nefomu, ukuphila kanye nezindiza ezilula okubhekiselwa odabeni oluqaphela njengemvelo, ngoba azikho izindiza ohlangothini oluhlakaniphile.

Lapho ebiza le ncwadi futhi enesikhathi ayengenaso ngaphambili, wakha igama elamukela amagama asetshenziswayo, kodwa angase asikisele lokho ayehlose ukukwenza lapho ewanika incazelo ethile. Uthe “Zama ukuqonda ukuthi leli gama lisho ukuthini, ungabambeleli egameni”.

Ngakho wabiza imvelo-indaba endizeni ebonakalayo, izimo ezikhazimulayo, ezinomoya, eziwuketshezi neziqinile. Izindiza ezingabonakali zomhlaba wenyama waziqamba ngokuthi isimo, ukuphila kanye nezindiza ezikhanyayo, futhi emazweni angaphezu komhlaba wenyama wawanika amagama ezwe lesimo, izwe lempilo kanye nezwe lokukhanya. Zonke ziyimvelo. Kodwa amadigri lapho i-intelligent-matter iqaphela khona njenge-Triune Self wabiza izingxenye zengqondo, ingqondo kanye ne-noetic ye-Triune Self. Waqamba izici zengxenye yengqondo umuzwa nesifiso, okungumenzi ongafi; labo bengxenye yengqondo ukulunga nokucabanga, okuwumcabango ongafi; kanye nalabo bengxenye ye-noetic I-ness kanye nokuzikhukhumeza, okuwukwazi ongafi; zonke zihlangene zakha i-Triune Self. Kuzo zonke izimo wayenikeza izincazelo noma izincazelo lapho amagama esetshenziswa nguye anencazelo ethile.

Igama aliqamba kuphela igama elithi aia, ngoba alikho igama kunoma yiluphi ulimi elichaza lokho elikuhlanganisayo. Amagama athi pyrogen, elithi pyrogen, elisho ukukhanya kwenkanyezi, i-aerogen, elisho ukukhanya kwelanga, elithi fluogen elisho ukukhanya kwenyanga, nelithi geogen elisho ukukhanya komhlaba, engxenyeni ethi pre-chemistry azichaza ngokwazo.

Incwadi yakhe isuka esitatimendeni esilula iye emininingwaneni. Ngaphambili umenzi kwakukhulunywa ngaye njengozelwe enyameni. Kamuva wabonisa ukuthi empeleni okwenzekayo wukuba khona kabusha kwengxenye yomenzi ngokuxhuma nezinzwa zokuzithandela kanye negazi, nokuthi kulokho kuhlobene ingxenye yomcabango kanye nalowo owazi ingxenye ye-Triune Self. Ngaphambili izingqondo kwakukhulunywa ngazo ngokujwayelekile. Kamuva kwaboniswa ukuthi imiqondo emithathu kuphela kweyisikhombisa engasetshenziswa ngomuzwa nesifiso, okungukuthi ingqondo-yomzimba, imizwa-ingqondo kanye nengqondo yesifiso, nokuthi ukuKhanya okuza ngezinye ezimbili kuya emqondweni womzimba. , yikho konke okusetshenziswe abantu ekukhiqizeni imicabango eyakhele le mpucuko.

Ukhulume ngendlela entsha ngezihloko eziningi, phakathi kwazo ezithi Consciousness, esahlukweni sesibili; Imali, esahlukweni sesihlanu; Ukudlidliza, Imibala, I-Mediumship, I-Materializations, kanye ne-Astrology, esahlukweni sesithupha, futhi kukhona ngeThemba, Injabulo, Ukuthembela kanye Nokukhululeka; Izifo Nemithi yazo, esahlukweni sesikhombisa.

Washo izinto ezintsha mayelana neZinganga, Imihlaba kanye Nezindiza Ezingabonakali; Okungokoqobo, Illusion kanye Ubukhazikhazi; Izimpawu ZeJiyomethri; Isikhala; Isikhathi; Ubukhulu; Amayunithi; I-Intelligences; I-Triune Self; Amanga I; Ukucabanga Nemicabango; Umuzwa kanye Nesifiso; Inkumbulo; Unembeza; Amazwe Ngemva Kokufa; Indlela Enkulu; Amadoda ahlakaniphile; I-Aia kanye neFomu Lokuphefumula; Imizwa Emine; Umzimba Okane; Ukuphefumula; Ukuba khona kabusha; Umsuka Wobulili; amagciwane eLunar kanye neSolar; UbuKristu; Onkulunkulu; Imijikelezo Yezinkolo; Amakilasi Amane; I-Mysticism; Izikole Zokucabanga; ILanga, Inyanga Nezinkanyezi; Izigaba Ezine Zomhlaba; Inkathi Yomlilo, Umoya, Amanzi Nomhlaba. Uthe izinto ezintsha ngezifundo eziningi kakhulu ukuthi angazibala. Ikakhulukazi wakhuluma nge-Conscious Light of the Intelligence, okuyiQiniso.

Izinkulumo zakhe zazinengqondo. Bacacise bodwa. Kunoma iyiphi i-engeli ebonwayo, amaqiniso athile ayefana noma asekelwa abanye noma asekelwa ngezincwadi. Umyalelo oqinisekile uphethe konke akushilo ndawonye. Uhlelo lwakhe luphelele, lulula, lunembe. Iyakwazi ukuboniswa ngeqoqo lezimpawu ezilula ezisekelwe kumaphuzu ayishumi nambili endingilizi. Amaqiniso akhe ashiwo kafushane futhi ngokusobala ayavumelana. Lokhu kuvumelana kwezinto eziningi azisho phakathi kwekhampasi enkulu yemvelo kanye nenani elikhulu lezinto ezingaphakathi kwebanga elincane elihlobene nomenzi kumuntu, kuyakholisa.

Uthe, le ncwadi ikakhulukazi eyanoma yimuphi ofisa ukuzazi njenge-Triune Selves yabo, ukuhlukanisa umuzwa nemvelo, ukuguqula zonke izifiso zibe isifiso sokuzazi, ukuqaphela ukuqaphela, kulabo abafuna. ukulinganisa imicabango yabo kanye nalabo abafuna ukucabanga ngaphandle kokudala imicabango. Kuningi kuyo okuzothakazelisa umfundi ojwayelekile. Uma esekufundile lokhu uzobona impilo njengomdlalo odlalwa yindalo kanye nomenzi onethunzi lemicabango. Imicabango ingokoqobo, ithunzi liwukuqagela kwawo ezenzweni, ezintweni nasezigigabeni zokuphila. Imithetho yomdlalo? Umthetho wokucabanga, njengesiphetho. Imvelo izodlala inqobo nje uma umenzi ezodlala. Kodwa kufika isikhathi lapho umenzi efuna ukuyeka, lapho umuzwa nesifiso sesifinyelele iphuzu lokugcwala, njengoba uPercival ebiza ngakho esahlukweni seshumi nanye.
