AMADODA NABAHLOBO

Ngaba unganditsho nantoni na ngohlobo lomlilo okanye itangatye? Kusoloko kubonakala into eyimfihlakalo. Andikwazi ukufumana ulwazi olwanelisayo kwiincwadi zenzululwazi.

Umlilo ngumoya wedangatye. Idangatye ngumlilo womlilo.

Umlilo sisixhobo esisebenzayo sokuqhuba kuyo yonke imizimba. Ngaphandle komlilo yonke imizimba ibiya kuhlala ingashukumi-ingenakwenzeka. Umlilo kukuba emzimbeni ngamnye onyanzela amasuntswana omzimba ukuba atshintshe. Emntwini, umlilo uziphatha ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. Into yomlilo ingena ngokuphefumla kunye negazi. Itshisa izicubu zenkunkuma ezihanjiswa ligazi kwaye zisuswe ngakwimigudu yokuphuma, njengepores, imiphunga kunye nomsele wamathumbu. Umlilo ubangela ukuba i-astral, imolekyuli, ifom yomzimba itshintshe. Olu tshintsho luhlala luvelisa ubushushu emzimbeni. Umlilo kunye neoksijini, umzimba opheleleyo apho kubonakaliswa khona umlilo, uvuselele iminqweno, ubangele ukuphuma komnqweno kunye nomsindo, ovutha umzimba we-astral kwaye usebenzise amandla e-nerve. Isenzo esinjalo somlilo sisiseko kwaye ngokwempembelelo yendalo.

Kukho omnye umlilo, owaziwa kwabanye njengomlilo we-alchemical. Umlilo wokwenyani oyinyaniso ngumlilo wengqondo ocinga, oxhathisa imililo kunye nolawulo kwaye unyanzelisa ukuba bahambisane noyilo lobuchule njengoko kumiselwe yingqondo; kanti, xa ungalawulwa ngumntu, imililo yokuqala yomnqweno, inkanuko nomsindo, ilawulwa yingqondo yendalo iphela, oko kukuthi, ingqondo ekwindalo, engabekwanga mntu-ubizwa nguThixo, yindalo, okanye nguThixo obambela kwindalo. Indoda, njengengqondo yomntu ngamnye, esebenza kumlilo wokuqala kwaye ibanyanzela ukuba bahambisane noyilo olukrelekrele, ibangela ukuba bangene kudibaniso olutsha kwaye isiphumo sokudityaniswa kwemililo yecala kuyacingwa. Ngokucinga nangokucinga ukuba imililo yomzimba kunye nezinto ezisisiseko zinikwe ifomu kumhlaba ongabonakaliyo. Ezi ntlobo zeengcinga kwilizwe elingabonakaliyo zinyanzelisa umba omkhulu ukuze uzivumelanise neefom.

Ezinye zeempawu zomlilo kunye nedangatye kukuba zishushu, ukuba azikaze zihlale zinjalo ngokuxhamlayo, zahlukile kwezinye izinto esizaziyo, ukuba zinika ukukhanya, ukuba zivelisa umsi, ukuba zitshintsha iifom ngokuzitshitshisela eluthuthwini, ukuba kwilangatye, umzimba wayo, umlilo uvele ngokukhawuleza njengoko unyamalala, ukuba basoloko benyuka benyuka kwaye babekiwe. Umlilo esiwubonayo nguloo nto umoya womzimba, obanjiwe kubukhoboka ngento enkulu, uyakhululwa kwaye ubuyela kwimeko yawo yangaphambili. Kwindiza yayo, kwilizwe layo, umlilo usimahla kwaye uyasebenza, kodwa ngexesha lokubonakaliswa ngokungasebenziyo isenzo somlilo sincitshisiwe kwaye silawulwa kwaye ekugqibeleni sibanjelwe ngaphakathi kwimizimba yomoya, ngokuba umlilo umoya kuyo yonke imizimba. Umlilo ogcinwe sisibambiso ngento enzulu sinokuwubiza ngokuba ngumlilo wangasemva. Lo mlilo wamva ubukho kuzo zonke izikumkani zendalo. Umlilo oguqukayo, nangona kunjalo, usebenza ngakumbi kwamanye amasebe obukumkani nganye kwamanye amasebe obukumkani obufanayo. Oku kubonakaliswa luhlaza kunye nesalfure kwiminerals, ngeenkuni ezinzima kunye nengca kubukuya lwemifuno kunye namafutha nolusu kwimizimba yezilwanyana. Umlilo ovuthayo ukwakhona kwezinye izinto ezifana neoyile. Umzimba otyibilikayo ufuna ubukho kuphela bomlilo osebenzayo ukuze ukhuphe kwaye ukhulule i-latent yayo kwintolongo. Ngokukhawuleza emva kokukhutshwa, umlilo we-latent ubonakala okomzuzwana, emva koko udlulele kwihlabathi elingabonakaliyo elivela kulo.

Umlilo yenye yezinto ezine ezaziwa ngabo bonke ubugqi. Umlilo yeyona nto inokusebenziseka kakhulu kwizinto zezakhi. Akukho nanye yezinto eyaziwa ngokuba ngumlilo, umoya, amanzi nomhlaba ebonakalayo ngamehlo, ngaphandle kokuba ikwimeko embi kakhulu yento. Ke ngoko sibona kuphela ezona zigaba zisezantsi kakhulu okanye izinto ezithile esiqhele ukuzithetha njengomhlaba, amanzi, umoya nomlilo. Inqaku ngalinye kwezi zinto zine ziyimfuneko ekwakhiweni kwento ebonakalayo, kwaye nganye yezi zinto imelwe ngokunxulumene nenye nenye. Njengoko isuntswana ngalinye lemicimbi yasemzimbeni libambe izinto ezine ngokudibeneyo ngokwenxalenye, into nganye kwezi zibuyiselwa kwimeko yayo yakuba nje indibaniselwano iqhekekile. Umlilo yinto eqhele ukophula udibaniso kwaye ibangele ukuba izinto ezingene kudibaniso zibuyele kumazwe wazo okuqala. Xa umlilo ukhutshiwe, oyinto ephambili kwimizimba enokutsha, kubonakala ngathi uyadlula. Ukudlula kubangela ukuba izinto zomoya, amanzi nomhlaba zibuyele kwimithombo yazo emininzi. Umoya nomoya obuyayo ubonakala kumsi. Elo candelo lomsi elingomoya, neliphawuleka ngokufuthi kumsi womsi, kungekudala lingabonakali. Elo nxalenye lomsi elingamanzi libuyela kumthombo wamanzi ngumswakama, nalo limiswe emoyeni, lize lingabonakali. Elona candelo lisaleleyo lelona candelo lomhlaba lithe tyibilili kuluthuli naseluthuthwini. Ngaphandle komlilo wangokunye kukho umlilo wamakhemikhali oboniswa sisenzo esonakalisayo seekhemikhali ezithile eziziswa kukudibana nezinye iichemicals, ngeoksijini efunxwe ligazi, kunye neferments ezibangela ukugaya ukutya. Ke kukho umlilo we-alchemical oveliswa ngengcinga. Isenzo somlilo we-alchemical yeengcinga zibangela umnqweno omkhulu wokutshintshelwa kumgaqo ophezulu womnqweno, ophinda uhlaziywe kwaye uxhotyiswe kwiminqweno yokomoya, yonke ngumlilo weengcinga. Ke kukho umlilo wokomoya ocutha zonke iintshukumo kunye neengcinga kulwakhiwo kunye nomzimba wokomoya ongafiyo, onokuthi ubonakaliswe ngumzimba wokomoya wokomoya.

Yintoni unobangela wokuba kubekho iingxwabangxwaba ezinkulu, ezifana nemililo kunye nomlilo obonakala ngathi uphuma ngaxeshanye kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zedolophu, kwaye yeyiphi into eyenzeka kwangoko.

Zininzi izizathu ezibangela ukuvutha komlilo, kodwa ezi zizathu zininzi zimelwe kwisizathu esikhawulezileyo sokutsha, okububukho bento yomlilo phambi kokuba ilangatye livele. Kufuneka kuqondwe ukuba umlilo njengento ekwazi ukudibanisa nezinye izinto, kwinqwelo yomlilo, okanye kwezinye iindiza. Ngokudityaniswa kwezinto ezahlukeneyo sifumana iziphumo eziqinisekileyo. Xa into yomlilo ikhona ngamandla amakhulu ilawula ezinye izinto ezikhoyo kwaye izinyanzele ukuba zitshise ngobukho bayo obunamandla. Ubukho bento yomlilo buvuselela umlilo kwimizimba engabamelwane kwaye ngedangatye lexeshana into yomlilo ebanjiweyo idlula ibuyele kumthombo wayo wokuqala. Idangatye elitsiba phezulu lisetyenziswa ngumlilo olivuselelayo ukuba lingene ehlabathini ngedangatye. Xa into yomlilo ilawula i-atmosphere ngamandla aneleyo isebenza kuyo yonke into enokutsha; kwandule ke ngokucaphuka nje, okunjengokungquzulana, lo mbandela unyuke ube lidangatye. Imililo yasehlathini okanye ihlathi inokubangelwa kumlilo wenkampu yabahambi, okanye yimitha yokutshona kwelanga, kwaye i-incendiarism inokuba ngunobangela wokutshiswa kwesixeko esikhulu, kodwa ezi azingonobangela oyintloko ngamaxesha onke. Omnye usenokuba usoloko ephawula ukuba iinzame zokubasa umlilo phantsi kweemeko ezivumayo zidla ngokulandelwa kukungaphumeleli ngokupheleleyo, ngoxa, ukujulwa ngentonga yematshisi emenyezelayo edokini, okanye kumgangatho obharhileyo wesakhiwo esikhulu apho kubonakala kungekho nto. ekhoyo eza kutsha ngokulula, ukanti umlilo ubangelwe yintsinga yematshisi ekhazimlayo kwaye uye wanwenwa ngokukhawuleza kangangokuba uye watshisa isakhiwo siphela, nangona inokuba mikhulu kangakanani imigudu yokusisindisa. Ukuvutha komlilo okutye izixeko ezikhulu kubangelwa ikakhulu kubukho bento yomlilo kuyo yonke imeko enjalo, nokuba zininzi ezinye izizathu ezinokuba negalelo.

Kuthiwa ukutshisa okuzenzekelayo koko kumanyanisa into enokutsha neoksijini. Kodwa unobangela ngokuyintloko ngenxa yokulungiswa kwezinto eziphikisanayo ezinokutsha ezitsala into yomlilo. Ngaloo ndlela, ukungqubana phakathi kwezinto ezimbini ezinokutsha, njengeoli namalaphu, kulandelwa kukumanyana ngequbuliso kombandela neoksijini esemoyeni; oku kuphembelela into yomlilo, eqala izinto zibe lidangatye.

Zithini izinto ezifana negolide, ubhedu kunye nesilivere?

Kukho iintsimbi ezisixhenxe, ezithi ngamanye amaxesha zibizwe ngokuba ziintsimbi ezingcwele. Nganye kwezi ngamandla emvula kunye nokuvalelwa entolongweni, ukukhanya okanye umgangatho ophuma komnye wemizimba yokukhanya esixhenxe esiyibona emajukujukwini kwaye siyibiza iiplanethi. Amandla, okanye ukukhanya, okanye umgangatho, wemizimba nganye esiyibiza ngokuba ziiplanethi, utsalwa ngumhlaba nenyanga yawo. La mandla ayaphila kwaye abizwa ngokuba yimimoya esisiseko yezinto okanye iiplanethi. Umhlaba kunye nenyanga yawo unika umzimba kunye nefom kumandla okuqala. Iintsimbi zimele izigaba ezisixhenxe okanye idigri apho amandla asisiseko kufuneka adlule kubukumkani bezimbiwa phambi kokuba abe nequmrhu elahlukileyo kwaye adlulele kwizikumkani eziphezulu zendalo ebonakalayo. Zininzi izinto ezinokusetyenziswa apho ezi ntsimbi ezisixhenxe zinokufakwa. Unyango lunokwenziwa kunye nezifo ezibangelwa kukusetyenziswa okanye ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweentsimbi. Iintsimbi zineempawu ezinika ubomi kunye nezibulalayo. Nayiphi na kwezi inokuvuswa, ngesazela okanye ngokungazi, xa iimeko ezithile zilawula. Kuya kuba yi-pedantic ukunika i-odolo yokuqhubela phambili kwesinyithi kunye nokulunga kwazo okuhambelanayo, nangona sasinazo iinyani, kuba, ngelixa kukho ukuqhubela phambili okucwangcisiweyo ukusuka kurhulumente ukuya kwimeko yemikhosi eyisiseko esebenza ngesinyithi, lo myalelo wawungenakusetyenziswa ngabantu bonke ngokufanayo; oko bekuya kusebenza kwingenelo yomnye kuya kuba yintlekele komnye. Umntu ngamnye, nangona wakhiwe ngokwesicwangciso esifanayo, ekubunjweni kwakhe iimpawu ezithile ezihambelana nomoya we-elemental of the metal; ezinye zazo ziluncedo, kanti ezinye ziyingozi. Ngokuqhelekileyo, nangona kunjalo, igolide imele inqanaba eliphezulu lophuhliso phakathi kweentsimbi. Iintsimbi ezisixhenxe ekubhekiselwa kuzo yinkcenkce, igolide, imekyuri, ikopolo, ilothe, isilivere nentsimbi. Olu balo akufunekanga luthathwe njengolandelelwano lwenkqubela phambili, okanye umva.

Iintsimbi ezixhaphake kakhulu kwixesha elidlulileyo azikho ngokuqhelekileyo ngoku. Igolide ithathwa ngathi njengeyona nto ixabisekileyo kwiintsimbi ezisixhenxe, nangona ingeyona nto iluncedo. Kunokuba lula ukukhupha igolide namhlanje kunokuba sinokwenza ngentsimbi. Kwisinyithi, isinyithi sesona siyimfuneko kwimpucuko yethu, njengoko ingena kuzo zonke izigaba zobomi bemizi-mveliso, njengokwakhiwa kwezakhiwo eziphakamileyo, ukusebenza kolwakhiwo kunye nokusetyenziswa kweenqanawa zomphunga, oololiwe, iinjini, izixhobo, izixhobo zasekhaya kunye nefenitshala. . Isetyenziselwa iinjongo zokuhombisa, kwaye ibalulekile kwaye iyimfuneko kwiyeza. Ezinye iimpucuko ziye zatyhubela amaxesha azo ahlukeneyo, aziwa njengegolide, isilivere, ubhedu (okanye ubhedu) kunye namaxesha entsimbi. Abantu bomhlaba, ngokuqhelekileyo, bakwixesha lentsimbi. Yiminyaka enzima kwaye etshintsha ngokukhawuleza kunayo nayiphi na eminye. Esikwenzayo ngoku kuya kusichaphazela ngokuncomekayo ngakumbi kunayo nayiphi na enye iminyaka kuba izinto zihamba ngokukhawuleza kwixesha lentsimbi kunayo nayiphi na enye. Izizathu zilandelwa yimiphumo yazo ngokukhawuleza kwintsimbi kunayo nayiphi na enye iminyaka. Izizathu esizimisayo ngoku ziya kudlulela kwixesha elizayo. Ixesha eliya kulandela lixesha legolide. EMelika, apho ugqatso olutsha lwenziwa khona, sele silungenele.

Iintsimbi ezisixhenxe zibalwe apha phakathi kwezinto ezingamashumi asixhenxe ezingaqhelekanga ezibekwe zaza zadweliswa yinzululwazi yanamhlanje. Ngokubhekisele kwindlela ezenziwe ngayo sithe imikhosi, izibane, okanye iimpawu ezivela kwimizimba esixhenxe esesibhakabhakeni, ebizwa ngokuba ziiplanethi, zitsalwa ngumhlaba. Umhlaba ubeka umtsalane wemagnethi kwaye, ngenxa yeemeko ezixhaphakileyo, kukho la mandla athi ngokuthe ngcembe akhiwe ngokunyuka, enze isuntswana kwisuntswana elingaphakathi kwebhanti lozibuthe elitsala amandla. Ngamnye kumandla asixhenxe aziwa ngombala wawo othile kunye nomgangatho kunye nendlela amasuntswana alala ngayo kunye. Ixesha elithathwayo ekwenzeni nasiphi na isinyithi esinye lixhomekeke kwiimeko ezikhoyo, njengoko igolide inokuveliswa ngexesha elifutshane kakhulu xa zonke iimeko eziyimfuneko zikhona.
