Theosophical Movement. Izimfundiso ze-Theosophy.

One kwezibonakaliso zezikhathi yi-Theosophical Movement. I-Theosophical Society ivele nomyalezo nomsebenzi. Kwethula emhlabeni lokho okwakubiza ngokuthi i-Theosophy, izimfundiso ezindala ezazibekelwe abambalwa ngaleso sikhathi: zobuzalwane i-karma nangokuphindukuzalwa, kwesisekelo-sisekelo somuntu somuntu nesomhlaba, kanye nokuqina komuntu. Ukwemukelwa kwalezi zimfundiso kuvumela umuntu ukuba azenyezele njengoba kwenza ezinye izimfundiso ezimbalwa. Lesi sambulo solwazi lwakudala sakhishwa njengoba sivela kubafundisi abathile ababebizwa ngamaSanskrit igama elithi Mahatmas, owayeshiye i-nirvana noma i-moksha futhi wahlala emizimbeni yabantu, ukuba abe lusizo njengoMdala uBaba kwi "imiphefumulo”Ababesaboshelwe esondweni lokuzalwa kabusha.

Umthombo okwavela kuzo lezi zimfundiso ngowesifazane waseRussia, u-Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, okuwukuphela komuntu, kwathiwa, owayenengqondo futhi eqeqeshwa ngokomqondo, futhi owayezimisele ukwamukela nokumsakaza. Abasizi bakhe kusukela kwabokuqala yayingabameli ababili baseNew York, uHenry S. Olcott noWilliam Q. Ijaji. Lezi zimfundiso zazidlulisela ekubumbeni ezincwadini zamaSanskrit futhi zisebenzise amagama amaningi, ngakho-ke yaqala i-Eastern Movement kanye nezithunywa zayo eNtshonalanga. NguSanskrit kuphela owayenobizo oluthi, yize lwalungaphandle, luziveze ngokwalo ukuveza izici zangaphakathi ukuphila ezazingaziwa eNtshonalanga. Hhayi iSanskrit kuphela kepha amanye amarekhodi amaningi ashiwo; kodwa-ke, ithonya lezincwadi zamaNdiya linqoba.

I-Theosophical Society, eyasungulwa eNew York ngo-1875, yaba yeyokuqala ukulima umhlabathi. Kwakumele kwenziwe kanzima umsebenzi ezikhathini ezingenabungani. Kwakudingeka zilethe izimfundiso ezijwayelekile ezazingezona ezangaphandle nezingajwayelekile. U-HP Blavatsky wakhiqiza izakhi zemilingo ezazithi, yize zingasho lutho ngokwazo, zikhange futhi zibambe ukunaka kwabantu kuze kube yilapho kudalwa intshisekelo ejwayelekile. Izimfundiso ezethulwe ezincwadini zimane nje zibekiwe, kepha zibeka abantu kukho ngicabanga njengoba kungenzekanga okunye.

Ngu ukukhanya Kulezi zimfundiso umuntu ubonakala engeyena umdlwane ezandleni zomuntu onamandla onke, noma eqhutshwa yibutho elingaboni, futhi nokuba yinto yokudlala yezimo. Umuntu ubonakala njengomqambi kanye nombhali wekusasa lakhe. Kwenziwe kucace ukuthi umuntu angathola futhi uzofinyelela “ngokuphindaphindeka” emzimbeni kuze kube sezingeni lokuphelela elingaphezu kwemicabango yakhe yamanje; ukuthi njengezibonelo zalo mbuso, ezifinyelelwe emva kokuvezwa kwemizimba eminingi, kumele kube manje okukhona emizimbeni yabantu, "imiphefumulo"Abazitholele ukuhlakanipha futhi ukuthi umuntu ojwayelekile uzoba yini ngokuzayo. Lezi zimfundiso zazanele ukwanelisa izidingo zabantu. Banikela ngalokho isayensi yemvelo futhi izinkolo iswele. Banxuse Isizathu, bancenga inhliziyo, babeka obusondelene maqondana phakathi kwengqondo ne ukuziphatha.

Lezi zimfundiso zenze umxhwele wazo ezigabeni eziningi zanamuhla wacabanga. Ososayensi, ababhali kanye nabalandeli bezinye izinhlangano zesimanje ezibolekwe kulesi sikhwama semininingwane, noma kungenjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi ngonembeza. I-Theophotos, ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye inhlangano, ilolonge ukuthambekela Inkululeko kwezenkolo wacabanga, ulethe okusha ukukhanya kubacwaningi futhi bakwenzela umusa umuzwa maqondana nabanye. I-Theory isisuse kakhulu ukwesaba of ukufa nangesasa. Inikeze umuntu a Inkululeko okungekho enye inkolelo eyayikukhulumile. Noma izimfundiso zingachazi, okungenani zigcwele iziphakamiso; futhi lapho zingahlelekile khona zazisebenza kakhulu kunanoma yini eyamenyezelwa ngaphakathi izinkolo.

Labo abangakwazanga ukumelana ukukhanya elikhanya ngolwazi nokusikisela kwe-Theosophy, kwakuvame ukuba yizitha zalo. Izitha ezazisebenza kakhulu ezinsukwini zokuqala zaziyizithunywa zevangeli ezingamaKristu eNdiya. Kodwa-ke ezinye izazi zemibono zenze okuthe xaxa kungenziwa yizitha zonke ukuhlambalaza igama le-Theosophy, futhi zenze ukuthi izimfundiso zalo zibonakale zihlekisa. Ukuba ngamalungu omphakathi akubenzanga abantu inkolelo-ze. Amacala omhlaba abhekene namalungu e-Theosophical Society kwesinye isikhathi ayiqiniso. Ukucabanga futhi umuzwa ubuzalwane okungenani bekungaletha umoya yenhlanganyelo ku ukuphila lamalungu. Ukwenza okuthile esikhundleni segama eliphansi lezinjongo zomuntu, bavumela ubaser babo nature ziqinisekise. The isifiso ukuhola, okuncane umhawu nama-bicker, wahlukanisa i-Theosophical Society yokuqala yaba izingxenye emva kwe ukufa kaBlavatsky, futhi ngemuva kwe- ukufa likaJaji.

Abazenzisi, ngamunye bethatha sengathi ungumlomo kaMahatma, wacaphuna uMahatmas futhi wethula nemiyalezo evela kubo. Nhlangothi zombili, zithi zinemiyalezo, kucatshangwa ukuthi ziyayazi intando yazo, njengoba amaqembu amakhulu abona ukuthi azi futhi enze intando uNkulunkulu. Ama-impostors nama-spooks maningi okungenzeka ukuthi kube yibo abahamba imimoya Kweminye yale miphakathi ye-theosophical. Kubukeka kungakholeki ukuthi isimangalo esaphrintwa kwabanye omagazini be-theosophical kusukela ezinsukwini ze-1895 bekufanele senziwe. Imfundiso yokuphindukuzalwa ngomqondo wayo we-theosophic yenziwe yaba yinhlekisa yilabo abasebenza ngemibono yobuNkulunkulu, ababegomela ulwazi ngezimpilo zabo zangesikhathi esedlule nangezimpilo zabanye, —abanikeza imigqa engaqondakali yokuzalwa “ngokwenziwa kabusha” kwangaphambilini.

Inzalo enkulu yakhonjiswa ku astral izifundazwe nokukhonjiswa kwezindaba zemilingo. Isimo sabahlaziyi abanjalo senza kwabonakala sengathi ifilosofi ikhohliwe. The astral izifundazwe zazifunwa futhi zangena ngabathile; futhi, iza ngaphansi kwalo bubuhle, abaningi baba izisulu zalokho kudukiswa ukukhanya. Ngokwezincwadi nezenzo zalaba bantu kubonakala sengathi eziningi zazo zazisemijondolo nasezimalini zika astral ithi ngaphandle kokubona uhlangothi olungcono.

Ubuzalwane buvele emaphepheni kuphela emikhosini. Izenzo zabososophist zibonisa ukuthi okusho ukhohliwe, uma eke waqondwa. Karma, uma kukhulunywa ngayo, ibinzana eli-stereotyped futhi linomsindo ongasho lutho. Izimfundiso zokuphindukuzalwa futhi eziyisikhombisa izimiso ziyaphindaphindeka ngemibandela ye-hackneyed futhi engaphili futhi ziyasilela ukuqonda edingekayo ekukhuleni futhi inqubekela phambili. Amalungu anamathela emigomweni angayiqondi. Ukuhleleka okungokwenkolo sekuqale.

I-Theosophical Society ka-1875 yathola futhi yabelana ngamaqiniso amakhulu. “i-karma”Yalabo abehlulekile ukukwenza umsebenzi ku-Theosophical Society izofinyelela kude kunaleyo eyezengqondo noma okunye ukuhamba kwengqondo, ngoba amalungu e-Theosophical Society ayenolwazi umthetho of i-karma, isenzo.
