AMADODA NABANGANE
Ingabe umuntu i-microcosm ye-macrocosm, indawo yonke incane? Uma kunjalo, amaplanethi nezinkanyezi ezibonakalayo kumele zimelwe ngaphakathi kuye. Zitholakalaphi?
Abacabangi ngezikhathi ezihlukahlukene nangezindlela ezihlukahlukene, bathi indawo yonke ivezwe kumuntu. Njengesingathekiso noma eqinisweni, lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi kuyiqiniso. Akusho ukuthi indawo yonke ineminwe nezinzwane futhi ifake amashiya nezinwele ekhanda, noma ukuthi indawo yonke yakhiwe ngokuvumelana nobukhulu obukhona bomzimba womuntu wenyama, kodwa kusho ukuthi ukusebenza kwendawo yonke kungase kubonakale futhi kubonakale. kumuntu ngezitho nezitho zakhe. Izitho zomzimba womuntu azenzelwe ukugcwalisa isikhala, kodwa ukwenza imisebenzi ethile emnothweni jikelele kanye nenhlalakahle yento yonke ephilayo. Kungashiwo okufanayo nangemizimba esemkhathini.
Imisebe ekhazimulayo yokukhanya kanye nama-orbs akhazimulayo ahlala njalo emazulwini kuyimithombo yezindaba lapho amandla asemhlabeni wonke asebenza khona endaweni, ngokomthetho wendawo yonke kanye nenhlalakahle kanye nomnotho jikelele. Izitho zangaphakathi, njengezitho zocansi, izinso, ubende, amanyikwe, isibindi, inhliziyo namaphaphu, kuthiwa zihambisana futhi zinobudlelwano obuqondile namaplanethi ayisikhombisa. Ososayensi abanjengoBoehme, Paracelsus, Von Helmont, Swedenborg, izazi zefilosofi zomlilo kanye nezazi ze-alchemists, baqambe izitho namaplanethi ahambisanayo. Bonke abanikezeli ngokubhalelana okufanayo, kodwa bayavuma ukuthi kukhona isenzo esivumelanayo kanye nobudlelwane phakathi kwezitho namaplanethi. Ngemva kokwazi ukuthi kunokubhalelana, umfundi kufanele, uma efisa ukwazi, acabange futhi axazulule ukuthi yiziphi izitho ezihambisana namaplanethi athile, nokuthi ahlobene futhi asebenza kanjani. Angeke ancike ematafuleni omunye kule ndaba. Ithebula lezincwadi lingase lifanele lowo olenzile; kungase kungabi yiqiniso komunye. Umfundi kufanele athole izincwadi zakhe.
Ngaphandle kokucabanga, akekho oyokwazi ukuthi izinto ezitholakala endaweni yonke zihambelana futhi zihlobana kanjani nezitho ezithile zomzimba, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abanye bangathini ngazo. Ukucabanga kumele kuqhutshekwe kuze kwaziwe isihloko. Okuhambisana namaqoqo ezinkanyezi, amaqoqo ezinkanyezi, i-nebulae emkhathini, kusebenza emzimbeni womuntu njengama-plexuses, i-nerve ganglia, ukuwela kwezinzwa. Lawa maqoqo noma ukuwela emzimbeni akhipha ukukhanya, i-nerve aura. Lokhu okusezulwini kukhulunywa ngakho njengokukhanya kwezinkanyezi, nangamanye amagama. Lokhu kungabonakala kukude futhi kumnandi kusazi sezinkanyezi, kodwa uma singacabanga emzimbeni waso size sithole uhlobo lwezikhungo zemizwa nemisinga yazo, wayengawushintsha umbono wakhe ngesayensi yezinkanyezi. Wayezokwazi ukuthi izinkanyezi ezisezulwini ziyini, futhi akwazi ukuzibona njengezikhungo emzimbeni wakhe.
Kusho ukuthini impilo ngokujwayelekile? Uma kungumlinganiso wamandla omuntu, engqondweni nangokomoya, ngabe ibhalansi igcinwa kanjani?
Impilo ingukuphelela nokuzwakala komzimba ekwakhekeni nasekusebenzeni kwawo. Impilo ngokuvamile iwukusebenza komzimba emsebenzini ohloselwe wona, ngaphandle kokuthikamezeka komsebenzi wawo noma ukonakala kwezitho zawo. Amandla athuthukiswa futhi agcinwe njengomphumela wezempilo. Amandla akuyona into ngaphandle kwempilo, futhi ayizimele ngempilo. Impilo igcinwa ngokulondolozwa kwamandla noma amandla athuthukisiwe, kanye nesenzo sokushintshana phakathi kwezitho zomzimba nomzimba uwonke. Lokhu kuthinta ingqondo nemvelo yomoya yomuntu, kuhlanganiswe nomzimba wakhe womuntu, kanye nasesilwaneni esijwayelekile somuntu. Kukhona impilo yengqondo nekamoya njengoba kukhona impilo yenyama. Impilo yayo yonke iyagcinwa lapho ingxenye ngayinye yenhlanganisela yenza umsebenzi wayo maqondana nokuhle kwayo yonke. Umthetho uqondakala kalula kodwa kunzima ukuwulandela. Impilo iyatholwa futhi igcinwe ngezinga lokuthi umuntu enze lokho akwazi kangcono ukuze azuze impilo, futhi enze lokho akwazi kangcono ukuyilondoloza.
