Umqondo Wokuqala. Umhlaba ongokoqobo womhlaba noma i-Realm of Permanence, kanye nomhlaba omine. Ukuhlolwa kwecala kwabesifazane. "Ukuwa" komenzi. Abenzi baba ngaphansi kokuphinda babe khona emizimbeni yabesilisa nabesifazane.

Ngaphakathi emhlabeni unomphela wenyama noma Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade kunemihlaba emine engabonakali.

Umhlaba wethu womuntu (I-Fig. VB, a) kuwukuphazamiseka noma, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, ukuyeka noma oHlelweni Lwaphakade Lokuqhubeka.

Le mihlaba emine iphila ndawonye; izinombolo ziwukunikeza nje umehluko nokubonisa umehluko. Zikhona lapha akukhulunywa ngazo ngokuningiliziwe. Izinganekwane nezinsumansumane azihlangani nazo,—ngaphandle kokuthi mhlawumbe iPharadesi noma iNsimu yase-Edene,—nomlando neze.

Umhlaba unomphela noma Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade, iqukethe, igcine futhi ilinganisela zonke izinto ezishintshayo emhlabeni womuntu, kodwa yona yona ayiguquki ngokushintsha kwezwe lomuntu ngaphakathi kwalo. I Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade yakhiwe ngokulinganisela amayunithi yezimo ezikhazimulayo, ezinomoya, ezinoketshezi, neziqinile ze ndaba; igcwele umhlaba womuntu, kodwa ayibonakali embonweni womuntu ngoba umbono womuntu awuhambisani nokulingana. amayunithi we Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade. The Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade kuyadingeka ekuthuthukisweni kwabo bonke amayunithi,—idingeka kakhulu kunelanga, elimelela umhlaba wethu oshintshayo wamanje.

Amagama anjengokuthi “isikhathi,” “okokuqala,” “isiqalo,” “qala,” “imvelaphi,” nokunye okunjalo, lapha kusetshenziswa ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwazo okuvamile, noma ngenxa yokuthi awekho amagama esilulungwini sethu samagama ukuchaza nokuchaza izimo kweminye imihlaba. Ngempela, kwakungekho “isiqalo” ngomqondo wokuqalwa isikhathi. Kunemibono enqunywa isimo somzimba womuntu oboshwe nomuzwa umenzi. Izilinganiso ze isikhathi ngokweminyaka solar azisetshenziswa isikhathi ezimweni zomzimba ngaphandle kwaleso samanje isikhathi futhi dimension.

In the Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade imizimba yenyama ye-Triune Selves ayinabulili futhi iphelele, futhi izidalwa zaleso simo ndaba azifani nezilwane emhlabeni wethu. Ekuboneni kwethu okulinganiselwe kwemizwa azibonakali; banamandla futhi basabela inhloso kulokho okuyikho wacabanga noma wathi kubo. Lesi kwakuyinkathi, futhi kuseyiyo, inkathi yokudalwa ngu ingaphandle we ngicabanga ye-Triune Selves ephelele. I ngicabanga ye-Triune Selves iqinile futhi, izwakala, ithatha ifomu. Around the ifomu qoqa futhi uhlanganise izinhlayiya ezikhazimulayo, ezinomoya, eziwuketshezi neziqinile ndaba. Ezomzimba amaseli ziyalinganisela, ngakho-ke azikho ze ubulili. The abenzi ku Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade basemizimbeni yabo yenyama ephelele futhi i-Triune Selves yabo ikhanya kubo. Nature yenziwe i-animate yi- wacabanga yalezi ezikhanyayo abenzi, nemizimba yezilwane ilungiselelwa ngicabanga futhi uwakhulume abe ngumuntu wenyama. Okumsulwa ama-elemental ngena kulemizimba.

In the Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade cha ukufa, akukho lusizi, akukho kugula, cha ubuhlungu. Abekho amadoda, abekho abesifazane, abekho abantwana, akukho ngcebo. I-Triune Selves iyayazi umthetho futhi wenze ngakho. Imizimba ephelele iyaqhubeka, hhayi ngokudla ukudla, kodwa ngabadlulayo amayunithi kusukela kwabane Izakhi, ithathwe futhi isatshalaliswe ngabakwa ukuphefumula.

Abenzi emhlabeni namuhla, edakiwe futhi ehlanya emizimbeni edakiwe, ayikwazi ngaso leso sikhathi ukuthintana wacabanga futhi umuzwa yaleso simo unomphela. Kuleso simo i abenzi bathole ukuqeqeshwa kwabo kokugcina futhi i-Triune Selves idlule, ngemva kokwenza kwabo imisebenzi njengezikhulu kuHulumeni womhlaba kanye nabaphathi be phetho wezizwe; bavuswe babe Ubuhlakani kanye nezimpawu zalabo abenzi babe yi-Triune Selves yabo Ubuhlakani. The abenzi kulawa ma-Triune Selves azuza imizimba yawo ehlanzekile yenyama. Lezi abenzi hlala ku Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade. Lesi kwakuyisimo futhi isimo se abenzi ngaphambi kokuhlolwa kwecala lika umuzwa-and-isifiso ngokusebenzisa ubulili ukuze bafaneleke ukusebenza imizimba ephelele. Kulokho kuhlola i abenzi manje emizimbeni yabantu yehlulekile ngakho-ke bazixosha futhi bangaphansi ukufa kanye nokuba khona kabusha emhlabeni womuntu wesikhashana. Labo abenzi owaphumelela esivivinyweni waqhubeka ngokohlelo lwaphakade lokuqhubeka, (I-Fig. II-G).

Phakathi nalolo vivinyo i abenzi manje emizimbeni yabantu baqhubeka bezicabangela ngendlela ekabili esikhundleni sokuthi ubunye. Bakha imicabango ohlotsheni lwezibili. Ngakho umenzi wayenemizimba emibili, ehlanganiswe yintambo engabonakali endaweni lapho inkaba ikhona manje. Ukuzwa womenzi wawukomunye wemizimba emibili futhi isifiso lalikwelinye, futhi kwaba yilowo nalowo wajabulela ukuba khona komunye kulo ngicabanga. Lokhu kungase kube isisekelo sezindaba ezinjengo-Adamu no-Eva.

Le ndlela ngicabanga setha iphethini yoshintsho ngaphandle kokuhlala unomphela; ushintsho ekuzalweni futhi ukufa, emini nasebusuku, nakubabili nakwabaphikisana yonke indawo. Kulolu shintsho lokuqala umenzi waba uyazi wamabutho amabili ku umsebenzi emhlabeni wesibili we Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade.

Umzimba ophelele wasekuqaleni wanyamalala lapho ushintsha waba umzimba wesilisa lapho isifiso kwaba, nomzimba wesifazane lapho umuzwa kwaba. Babemele amandla amabili ayeke asebenza njengawodwa. I umenzi wezwa lamandla amabili ngemizimba yawo emibili. Uma namuhla noma ubani engase ezwe ukuhlangana okumsulwa kwalawa mandla kuye ngokwakhe, ngaphandle kokulahlwa ngokomzimba, futhi ngaphandle kokuba khona komunye umuntu, bekungaba khona injabulo namandla angenakucatshangwa.

Kwabe sekuqala izinguquko ku- umenzi kanye nemizimba yayo eyaletha inguquko yesibili futhi eyenza i umenzi uyazi wesigaba sesithathu somhlaba. Lezi zinguquko ziqale ngesikhathi i- isifiso isici se umenzi emzimbeni owodwa wabheka phezu kwayo umuzwa isici komunye umzimba nomuzwa ofana nowocansi isifiso futhi umuzwa. Zabo ngicabanga kubangele ukuthuthukiswa kwezitho zobulili. Baqala ukuhlalisana nokuzala, futhi ngalokho balahlekelwa amandla abo okudala.

Imizimba esemhlabeni wesithathu iyimizimba yesilisa nemizimba yabesifazane. Ukuhlanganiswa kwemizimba kuwumcimbi obalulekile, ohanjelwa yisambulo esijabulisayo futhi senzeka kuphela lapho umzimba omusha usuzozalwa. Awekho amahloni, cha Isono, Kanye injabulo kuwukuvulwa kwesikhashana kwezwe lendalo, okungukuthi, i ukuphila emhlabeni, ezizweni. Imizimba ngeyomuntu jikelele ifomu, kodwa enamandla futhi enhle futhi ehlanzekile, futhi ayinayo ubuhlungu or isifo. Imizimba yabo iyazalwa futhi iyafa. I abenzi kuzo, nakuba manje engenawo amandla okudala amafomu ngokuqaphela, usengakwazi ukuqondisa okuyisisekelo amabutho nature. Baqondise laba ama-elemental ukubasiza kunoma yini umsebenzi benza, futhi awasebenzisi amathuluzi noma imishini. Azikho izindlu, azikho amadolobha, azikho iziphepho, azikho izimpi, azikho izinxushunxushu nature futhi cha izifo. Izilwane nezitshalo zomhlaba ziba khona njengoba zenzeka emhlabeni wethu, ngokungazi abenzi kumuntu amafomu, nakuba labo abenzi ukwazi kwe imithetho aletha ngazo izilwane nezitshalo zibe khona. Izilwane yilezi ezimbili ubulili, futhi abanalo ulaka.

Ukuchezuka kokuqala kulezo zikhathi zokuthula kwafika lapho i- abenzi emizimbeni yabantu ehlaliswayo, hhayi eyabomthetho Injongo yenyunyana, kodwa ngenxa ye injabulo yabanika. Ekuqaleni bahlangana ngesikhathi esifanele, kamuva ngaphandle kwesizini. Ngaphambili nature kwasetshenziswa amandla Injongo lokuzala lapho behlangene ngesikhathi; kodwa kamuva, lapho bekhulula amandla, hhayi ngenxa yokuzala, kodwa ngenxa injabulo futhi iziphetho zobugovu, ngamunye ubulili ezama ukubusa omunye ubulili, balahlekelwa umyalo phezu nature amandla nezenzo zabo zobulili zaba yisono. Ngakho imizimba yabantu yadalwa ngokuhlangana kobulili. Ngokusetshenziswa ngokungemthetho kwezitho zabo zobulili, i abenzi badingiselwa emhlabeni wokuzalwa womuntu, ukufa, Futhi ukuphinde ube khona; bahamba baphela uyazi owomhlaba wesithathu; baba uyazi futhi waphila emhlabeni womuntu wesikhashana. Lapha ukuzalwa kubuhlungu futhi kunjalo ukufa futhi ukuphila lisindwa yisono losizi.

Umhlaba wokuqala umi phakade; kwesibili i abenzi' imizimba iyalungiswa noma ishintshwe ngu ngicabanga. Akukho kuwo wonke kule mihlaba ukufa. Okwesithathu, ukufa ivela ekuzalweni, ngokuhlangana kwe ubulili. Imizimba yabantu neyezilwane nezitshalo ingaphila iminyaka eminingi, kodwa kumelwe ife.

Emhlabeni wokuqala noma ohlala njalo kukhona ukuzinza inqubekela phambili of abenzi ekupheleleni; futhi, nge-Triune Selves yabo ephelele, baba Ubuhlakani. Kowesibili, iningi le-Triune Selves ngokufanayo liqhubekela phambili Ubuhlakani. Emhlabeni wesithathu abenzi kwezinye ze-Triune Selves inqubekela phambili ngesikhathi sezigaba zokuqala kanye ne-Triune Selves iba Ubuhlakani.

Ngaphakathi komhlaba wesine we Indawo Yokuhlala Phakade- okuwumhlaba nawo ongabonakali ngoba ulinganiselwe amayunithi,—indawo yonke ebonakalayo, enomhlaba womuntu wesikhashana azalwa ngawo kanye ukufa, (I-Fig. IC). Umkhathi onjalo ubonakala emehlweni abantu ngoba wakhiwe ngokungalinganiseli amayunithi. Umhlaba wabantu, umhlaba esiphila kuwo, njengoba kushiwo, uwuhlobo lokuyeka, noma ukuphazamiseka oHlelweni Lwaphakade Lokuqhubeka. Ikhona abenzi be-Triune Selves abahlulekile, noma abangase behluleke, ekuhlolweni kwabo. Enjalo abenzi kufanele ube khona kabusha emhlabeni womuntu we isikhathi, of ukufa kanye nokuzalwa, baze bavuselele imizimba yabo futhi bayibuyisele oHlelweni Lwaphakade Lokuqhubeka. Kanjalo umhlaba esiphila kuwo awunasiqalo; iye yashintshwa ngokuphindaphindiwe izenzakalo ezinkulu zesayensi yokuma komhlaba, okwathi ngemva kwayo kwaba sengathi wonke umhlaba usanda kuzalwa. I ngicabanga we abenzi in abantu inikeza i amafomu wemibuso ye nature kulomhlaba wethu owesilisa nowesifazane.

Umhlaba oqinile uyisiyingi futhi ubuyindilinga emhlabeni isici. Ngaphakathi nangaphandle koqweqwe kunezindilinga eziyindilinga. Ngaphakathi koqweqwe nezindawo kukhona izinhlanga nezinhlangano, ezinye ziphakeme futhi ezinye zingaphansi kohlanga lwesintu. Kwezinye zalezi zidalwa uqweqwe lomhlaba lubonakala obala njengomhlaba umkhathi kubantu, ngoba kubi ndaba ayivimbeli umbono wabo lapho ugxile kulokho okungale. Ngoba imizimba yabo ingeyabantu ndaba we ifomu, lo ukuphila, Kanye ukukhanya Emhlabeni, angadlula oqweqweni lomhlaba oluwugqinsi kalula njengoba abantu behamba emoyeni. Phakathi kwalezi zidalwa kukhona abenzi yeTriune Selves ababekade bexhumene nayo Ubuntu futhi owavela evela isikhathi kuya isikhathi emhlabeni. Kungenzeka ukuthi babengaziwa noma baziwa ngokuthi amadoda ahlakaniphile, abonisa igunya namandla, futhi enezici ezithile zobuntu ezenza isibopho esifanayo phakathi kwawo nabantu emhlabeni. Aye avela ngaphakathi ngesikhathi kuzoqalwa kabusha.

Emhlabeni wethu ongabantu, kunemijikelezo Yezimpucuko Ezine Ezinkulu, eza ngokulandelana; ngayinye yalezi kunezimpucuko eziningi ezincane.

Ekupheleni kwale mpucuko yesine manje emhlabeni-uma i abenzi behluleka ukuyenza impucuko ehlala njalo—kuyoba khona isikhathi eside lapho kungeke kube khona impucuko ukuphila. Njengasesikhathini esidlule, kuyoba njengokungathi umhlaba ufile noma usebumnyameni. Bese kuba omunye umjikelezo Wezimpucuko Ezine, futhi ngemva kwalokho omunye futhi omunye. Empeleni, akukho ukuphela kwesinye nesiqalo somunye; ziyaphela futhi ziqale njengoba unyaka udlulela komunye. Isiqalo noma isiphetho esibonakala sisekubaleni nje. I Injongo yalezi zimpucuko, kunjalo, imfundo ye abenzi ekuhlonipheni i-Triune Selves yabo.
