Inxalenye eseleyo yolwaluko ngumdlalo we-masonic, omele ubomi, ukufa kwaye uvuko zikaHiram Abiff, ekuthi inxaxheba yakhe makathathe inxaxheba. UHiram wayengumakhi omkhulu wetempile kaKumkani uSolomon kwaye wabulawa ngabasebenzi ngenxa yokwala kwakhe ukubadlulisela uLizwi kubo, emva kwemingcwabo emibini baphakanyiswa nguKumkani uSolomon emva koko wangcwatywa owesithathu ixesha. Eli bali lifihla isifundo esikhulu seMasonry.
I-Hiram iseminaleni mgaqo, amandla okuvelisa, amandla ezesondo, hayi ilungu lomzimba, hayi ulwelo, kodwa amandla, angabonakaliyo kwaye ayimimangaliso. La mandla alele kwiConscious ukukhanya ye Intelligence eqhutywa ngu umnqweno kwaye sisicatshulwa kwisine Izinto, elungiselelwe ziinkqubo ezine zomzimba. La mandla, sinako ke, anawo amandla okwenza izinto ezisixhenxe Intelligence, into yala macandelo mathathu Self Triune, kunye nento yesine Izinto, ifumaneka kuphela emzimbeni womntu. La mandla adityaniswa inyanga nenyanga ngengqondo yangaphakathi, ke iba yintsholongwane yokuthwasa kwenyanga, ize ke loo nto ihle ngendlela yemfesane phambi komzimba kwaye iqokelele ukukhanya ye Intelligence njengoko iqhubeka. Intsholongwane yenyanga emntwini sisiseko samandla onke, kodwa isiqingatha samandla sijongwa njengokukhula kwayo okunokwenzeka. Indoda, efanekiselwe ngokolwimi elimiyo igama le-masonic Geometry, ngunxantathu weCancer, Scorpio kunye nePisces, inesiqingatha kuphela samandla, kwaye kanjalo nenkosikazi, ifanekiselwa ngunxantathu wabasetyhini iTaurus, Virgo kunye neCapricorn. Elinye icala kwisiqingatha ngasinye alizuzi okanye alicinezelwanga. Isiqingatha esisebenzayo siyakhula kumalungu omzimba ukuzibonakalisa kwaye silahlekile ngenxa yazo. Ngale lahleko kuhlanganiswa iingcinga iinkanuko, ubundlobongela, ihlazo, ihlazo, isifo, uthando kunye nentiyo, eziyintsontelo yokuzalwa kwakhona. Ukuba uHiram akalahleki, kodwa usindisiwe, isiqingatha salowo uhloliweyo uya kuphuhliswa emzimbeni kwaye kuya kwakhiwa amalungu amatsha, amalungu amatsha, amajelo amatsha. UHiram ngumakhi.
UHiram, uMakhi oMkhulu, u-Master Master, uzoba uyilo lwakhe kwibhodi yokulwa-oko kukuthi, imigca esecaleni uhlobo lokuphefumla ekwinkqubo yovelwano enovelwano- kwaye idlula yonke imihla, oko kukuthi, nganye ubomi, ngeSango lasezantsi, iLibra, yeenkundla ezingaphandle zeTempile. Oko kukuthi, intsholongwane yenyanga ilahlekile. Kulisiko lakhe eliqhelekileyo ukungena kwi-Sanctum Sanctorum engapheliyo, oko kukuthi, intliziyo kunye nemiphunga, kumqolo weCancer ukuya kwiCapricorn. Pha ukucinga Ukuzoba imigca yokuyila kwakhe kwibhodi yokulwa, apho ubugcisa bulandela khona imisebenzi yabo, oko kukuthi, abasebenzi izinto zokuqala kwiinkqubo ezine zomzimba ezakha ngokwemigca, imeko yomzimba kunye neemeko apho umzimba ukhona.
Ngomhla omnye, oko kukuthi, kukodwa ubomi, xa uHiram, elandela isiko lakhe eliqhelekileyo lokuzama ukushiya umzimba kwisango lasezantsi, isango lezesondo, uyathintelwa kwaye unqande ukuphuma. Uyajika, ujonge ukuphuma esangweni laseNtshona, uMhlaza, kwaye uthintelwe kwakhona. Ke ufuna isango leMpuma, iCapricorn, kwaye ke apho abulawa khona. Oku kuthetha ukuba amandla ezesondo ebefuna ukumka ngokuvula ngokwesondo kwaye xa oko kuthintelwe, ngokuvula amabele, oko kukuthi, iimvakalelo, kwaye xa loo nto yavalwa, kwindawo endaweni yomqolo, emele ubuchopho okanye ingqondo, kwathi xa iphuma, nayo, ivinjiwe, yafa kwezi zinto zibonakalayo. Ukuba ke kufile ekufeni komntu kunye nenkohlakalo yavuselwa ukuba yakhe umzimba ongonakaliyo nokungafi.
Abathengi abathathu uJubela, Jubelo kunye noJubelum, abangoofezekisi, kodwa ngabakwaJunior Warden, uMgcini oMkhulu kunye noMnumzana oKhulekayo, amagosa amathathu endawo yokulala, eMasonry, kwaye nabo bamele la macandelo mathathu Self Triune, NguJubela UMenzi, Jubelo Ucinga, kunye noJubelihum Ndiyazi. Umntu ngamnye unenxalenye yegama. Ukuba iinxalenye zazo zidibeneyo ziya kuba zi-AUM okanye i-AOM okanye ezintathu kumalungu amane eLizwi. Kodwa akukho nokudityaniswa okwenziweyo, oko kukuthi, la macandelo mathathu awenzi umsebenzi ngokudibeneyo.
UHiram uneLizwi, uLizwi, kuba unalo ukukhanyaOko kukuthi, Intelligence amandla kunye Self Triune amagunya namandla amane Izinto, kwaye ubadibanise. Xa wahlaselwa yi-ruffian yokuqala kwaye wabuza uLizwi, uHiram, ke, uthi: "Linda ide igqitywe iTempile," Oko kukuthi, de abe wakhe umzimba ongafiyo. Utsho ngokunikezela iimfihlo zegama: “Andikwazi; kwaye abanakunikwa, ngaphandle kobukho bukaSolomon, uKumkani wakwaSirayeli (The Ndiyazi), noHiram, uKumkani waseTire (The Ucinga), kunye nam ” UMenzi (I ukukhanya kwisondo kunye imvakalelo-i-umnqweno). Oku kuthetha ukuba uLizwi akanakungeniswa kumandla esini kuba amandla ezesondo awakha umzimba ongafiyo, iTempile. Xa uHiram njengamandla ahlanganisiweyo e ukukhanya, i UMenzi kwaye i isini, ukugqibile ukwakha umzimba angakwazi ukwenza eyakhe indawo njengoHiram, the UMenzi of imvakalelo-i-umnqweno. Emva koko kunye Ucinga, Kumkani waseTire, kunye Ndiyazi, USolomon, ulilizwi kwaye ungena kwiTempile egqityiweyo.
UHiram zizinto ezininzi. Ungamandla angaqondakaliyo okudala afihlwe kumandla e isini, ngenxa yoko ke ungumakhi, uMakhi oyiNgcono; uliLizwi elilahlekileyo, ekubeni engu UMenzi ebilahlekile, ngenxa yokubantywiliselwa enyameni nasegazini kwaye awazi ngokwayo kuyo ukubangumntu; kwaye ungamandla ahlanganisiweyo we ukukhanya kunye Self Triune kunye indalo amandla e isini xa ithe yazifumana ichithakele etempileni, izazi ukuba injalo Self Triune.
UJubela, Jubelo noJubelum bangama-ruffian ukuza kuthi ga ngoku abayenziyo eyinyani imisebenzi yeeofisi zabo. Kuthiwa bangabasebenzi abaza kuba ngabantu abasebenza njengabo UMenzi yinxalenye yayo Ucinga kwaye Ndiyazi imiba, xa ingeyonyani "." Abathathu kuphela aba UMenzi yinxalenye yamanqaku amathathu alo Self Triune. UJubela unika uHiram ukubetha ngegiya, isixhobo sika-Apprentice, ngaphaya komqala, ngokwesiko. Oku kukungaboni kakuhle kwenxalenye yesondo. UJubelo ubethe uHiram ngesikwere, isixhobo seFani Craft, ngaphesheya kwebele, kwaye uJubelum wawa naye nge-set-maul, igabha ye-Master. I-gauge ngumgca, isikwere umphezulu, kunye nemol yecube.
UHiram ude waphumela ngaphandle kwesango lase Mzantsi, isiko lakhe kwimizimba yokubaleka kwe abantu. Umdlalo womdlalo wobugcisa ubhekisa kwi ixesha xa kufumaniseke ukuba amandla ezesondo aphethe isitshixo sayo yonke imfihlo nawo onke amandla. Ukuhlutha isitshixo kula mandla umntu esimthintelayo ukuba angaphuma. Ukuthintela okungayifumani imfihlo, kodwa amandla, xa elawulwa, ephakama, edlula kwisondo imisebenzi kwimizimba emine yenyama. Ke umntu ongumntu uthintela uHiram ekuhambeni iingcinga, kwiziko lemvakalelo. Kodwa uHiram akavelisi mfihlakalo, kuba umntu ongumntu uqhelisela ukuthintela iinjongo zokuzingca ukuze afumane amandla, kwaye angayakhi itempile kwakhona, kwaye ngenxa yokuba umntu ngokwasemzimbeni nasengqondweni engenakho ukubamba amandla. UHiram udlulela eMpuma kwaye udibana noJubelum yena, nangona ekwimeko yokwenyani yena NdiyaziKwidrama kukho "I," ubuxoki bokuzonwabisa UMenzi. Kuye uHiram akanakudlulisa uLizwi. Ukanti, umntu, nangona esuka kwiinjongo zokuzingca, uhambela phambili kakhulu ukuba akusekho kuphinda kuzalwe kwakhona. Oku kufanekiswa ngokubulawa kukaHiram.
Kwilungiselelo lokufumana imfihlakalo kaHiram baba lishumi elinesihlanu abasebenzi. Ishumi elinambini lafundwa kwaye abathathu, uJubela, uJubelo noJubelum, baliphumeza iyelenqe. Ishumi elinambini apha linamanqaku alishumi elinesibini kwiZodiac emzimbeni, amathathu ngawona aphindwe kabini UMenzi, kwaye i ingqondo-yomzimba. Abalishumi elinababini bamele amananiOko kukuthi, izidalwa ezilishumi elinambini zokugqibela kunye nemiyalelo yezidalwa.
Yonke into ekwindalo ebonisiweyo ikumlinganiso othile omele ishumi elinambini. Umzimba womntu lilungu labo. Okuninzi a ukubangumntu Uyakhula, kokukhona uya kuba nokuhlala kumaziko aphilayo amele kwaye aphendule kwiLishumi elineSibini. UKumkani uSolomon uthumela abasebenzi abalishumi elinambini emzimbeni ukuba bayokukhangela i-ruffian. Uthumela abathathu eMpuma, abathathu eMantla, abathathu eMazantsi, kunye nabathathu eNtshona. Uthumela iTaurus, iVirgo kunye neCapricorn ukuya kusebenza eMpuma, eLeo, eSagittary naseAries eMantla, eAustrarius, eGemini naseLibra eMzantsi, naseScorpio, ePisces naseCancer eNtshona. Kolu khuphiswano, oLeo, Aries, kunye neSagittary, kunye neGemini, iLibra kunye neAquarius zikwindawo yonke, unxantathu wokuqala usebenza ngowesibini. Unxantathu weTaurus, uVirgo kunye neCapricorn esebenza ngaloo Cancer, Scorpio kunye nePisces, kwaye zombini zingabantu. Isibini ngasinye koxantathu iifomu Inkwenkwezi emacala-mathandathu. Kukho ihexad yendalo iphela, iMacrocosm, kunye nehexad yomntu, le miccosm. I-hexad yendalo iphela, ebunjwe ngunxantathu ongenasondo, I-Aries, i-Leo, i-Sagittary kunye ne-androgynous triad, iGemini, iLibra kunye ne-Aquarius, UThixo okanye uPhezukonke Intelligence, yaye indalo. I-hexad yomntu idityaniswa ngumhlaza womhlaza womhlaza, iScioo kunye nePisces, ekhomba eNtshona, eyindoda okanye indoda engunxantathu, kunye neTaurus, uVirgo kunye neCapricorn, esalatha iMpuma, yona ingumfazi, owabafazi abathathu.
Iimpawu ezinkulu ze-macrocosmic kunye ne-microscic zimelwe emzimbeni womntu ngamalungu kunye namaziko alishumi elinambini, ngalinye linento yalo ekhethekileyo. uphawu. Umzimba womntu ke ngoko unokubakho kwindalo iphela. Iimpawu ezintandathu ezi-universal amaziko apho imiqondiso emithandathu yomntu inokwenza khona ukuba iimpawu zomntu zihlangane nakuphi na kwezo zithandathu. Umzekelo, ukuba owesilisa nowasetyhini bayaphumelela ekudibaneni kwamanqaku abo eScorpio kunye neVirgo eLibra, bazala ngesango lendawo yonke yesini indalo -tatu. Kodwa ukuba owesilisa nowasetyhini bayaphumelela kumanqanaba abo e-Scorpio naseCapricorn bamanyene eSagittary, isango elingenacala ngokwesondo lomnini-mfanekiso opheleleyo, benza cinga. Nangona amandla alishumi elinambini emelwe emzimbeni womntu, awanakwenza ngokukhululekileyo nangokugqibeleleyo, kodwa athintelwe, ekhubazekile, engasenakufa, engenamandla, ngaphandle kwamandla amelwe yiVirgo, iScorpio, neLibra, oko kukuthi, umntu obhinqileyo emzimbeni womfazi. , oyindoda emzimbeni wesidoda, kunye nesondo kuyo yomibini imizimba.
IHiram ngamandla enza imijikelezo yamaziko alishumi elinambini, eyomeleza kwaye ixhobise, ixhase amaziko alishumi elinambini, ibenze baphile kwaye ibalingane ukuze babe nako ukunxulumana neLishumi elineSibini, kwaye ukuze UMenzi emzimbeni unokusebenza kunye neLishumi elineSibini eliKhulu.
Ukuthumela kukaKumkani uSolomon ishumi elinambini labasebenzi ukuba baye kukhangela ezi zinto zithathu zithetha ukuba emva kokuba uHiram ebulewe, ngaphakathi meaning Kwintsomi, Ndiyazi Inxalenye edibana nomzimba iyalela amagunya alishumi elinambini emzimbeni ukuba afumane ii-ruffian ezintathu ezizise i ukufa kaHiram, ogama lingu "Ndi" wobuxoki kwiinkalo zalo ezintathu. I-ruffian ezintathu zifunyenwe kufutshane nomzimba wababuleweyo, oko kukuthi, ukunyanzelwa kwamandla okwabelana ngesondo, kwaye babulawa. Baye bagwetywa ngokuzama ukufumana amandla kuHiram ngaphambi kokuba babe nokufanelekela ukuyifumana.
UHiram wangcwatywa kathathu. Kuqala bamngcwaba ngencwadi yetempile, oko kukuthi, amandla ezesondo aguqulwa aba kukutya komzimba ukuyakha. Ebusuku babuyile ukuza kunika isidumbu umngcwabo ofanelekileyo. Bayithwala bayiya eNtshona, encotsheni yeNduli eNtshona yeNtaba yeMoriya, oko kukuthi, amandla ezesondo angcwatywa phakathi okanye aguqulwa aba yimimoya. Kulapho yafunyanwa khona iqela labasebenzi. Emva kokuba iphakanyisiwe nguKumkani uSolomon uqobo ngobungqimba okanye ngamandla wengonyama-lo ngumququ ochongiweyo kunye no ubomi Njengalowo u-Yesu, ingonyama ye-Tribe ka-Juda ebizwa ngokuba yingonyama ye-heraldic ye-Tribe-yangcwatywa kufutshane ne-Sanctum Sanctorum yeTheme kaKumkani uSolomon, oko kukuthi, amandla ezesondo ajika aba ngumqolo.
Ukuphakanyiswa nguSolomon kubalulekile. Umzimba awukwazanga ukuphakanyiswa ngokubambelela kwabafundi abangenisiweyo, okanye ngulowo usebenzi nabanye abantu, UMenzi ayinakukwazi, nokuba yi-psychic okanye into yayo yengqondo iphakamise okanye idlulise into efayo emzimbeni ongafiyo. Ifune i Ndiyazi, apha uKumkani uSolomon ngokwakhe, ukukhulisa uHiram. Ukumkani uSolomon wancediswa nguHiram, uKumkani waseTire, Ucinga, kunye nabazalwana, oko kukuthi, amandla emzimbeni.
Isiko lokuMona kukuba ilitye lesikhumbuzo lamiswa kwinkumbulo kaHiram, kwindawo yakhe yokungcwaba. Isikhumbuzo simele intombazana enyulu ekhala kwikholamu ephukileyo. Ngaphambi kwakhe yayincwadi evulekileyo, emva kwakhe yema ixesha. Isisikhumbuzo sokutshatyalaliswa kwetempile yantlandlolo, apho ikholamu kaBhoazi, emele ikholamu yabasetyhini kwitempile yomntu yaphuka. Isivalo okanye ilitye lesikhumbuzo yi-sternum, yiyo yonke into eseleyo. Intombi enyulu ngumfazi olila ikholamu yakhe eyaphukileyo. ixesha is ukufa, njengokuqhubeka kweziganeko; incwadi evulekileyo yi uhlobo lokuphefumla kwaye ezobe, eziphethe ingxelo yoko kwenzekileyo. Umntu wasetyhini ukwangumhlolokazi, njengentsika eyaphukileyo, owayengunina kaHiram, ekhalela amandla endoda, awaphulukana nawo xa ikholamu yaphukile. UHiram ngunyana womhlolokazi; Akakhuselekanga kwaye kuye kwafuneka ukuba abhadule kwilaborinth yomsele we-alimentary okoko ikholamu yaqhekeka.
Ukutshatyalaliswa kwetempile kwenzeka kuyo yonke indawo ubomi. UHiram akuvumelekile ukuba ayakhe kwakhona. Ngale ndlela ubulawa kuyo yonke into ubomi. Ngamnye ubomi uvusiwe kwaye uzama ukwakha itempile ukuqala ngokwenza ukusekwa kwakhona kwekholamu, eyaphukileyo. Isikhumbuzo somfazi onekholamu yakhe eyaphukileyo sisikhumbuzo sokuba uMason kufuneka enze kwakhona ikholamu eyaphukileyo kuye njengesixhobo sokuyakha kwakhona itempile yakhe, kwaye unokumisela kwakhona ikholomu kuphela ngokugcina uHiram emzimbeni ukuze uyakhe kwakhona. . UHiram ngaphakathi kuye ungowokuqala iplani yomzimba ongafiyo oya kuthi, xa yakhiwa kwakhona, ibe nkulu kuneyona tempile yokuqala.
Umgqatswa owenziwe ukuba athathe inxaxheba kwi-Hiram ekugqibeleni uphakanyiswe nguKumkani uSolomon, inkosi ye-Lodge, ngokubamba okwenyani kwe-Mason Mason, nakumanqaku amahlanu obudlelwane, okanye amanqaku amahlanu omzimba. Abazalwana bancedisa ukuphakamisa umgqatswa esikhundleni. I-hoodwink ijiwe emehlweni akhe. Emva kokuba efumene ingxelo engokwembali yeziganeko adlule kuzo njengoHiram, uMfundisi ucacisa ezahlukeneyo iimpawu. Usebenzisa zona njengezifundo zokubongoza ngemithetho nakwimigaqo yokuziphatha. Iikholamu ezintathu ezikhulu okanye iintsika, ezichongiweyo ubulumko, Amandla, nobuhle, emela la malungu omzimba mabini. Zikwamele iinxalenye ze Self Triune. Ngokunxibelelana nentsika ye ubulumko nguSolomon, umhlana okanye ikholam yeJachin; intsika yamandla nguHiram, Kumkani waseTire, ikholamu enovelwano okanye kaBhoazi; kwaye intsika yoBuhle nguHiram Abiff, ibhulorho okanye umakhi webridge, phakathi kwezi zimbini.
Ingxaki engamashumi amane anesixhenxe ye-Euclid ingaphezulu kwesibongozozo sokuziphatha. Kuthetha ukuba xa eyindoda (umnqwenokunye nemazi (imvakalelo) emzimbeni omnye wenyama umsebenzi xa bebonke bakha umzimba omtsha olingana nabo. Umzimba omtsha, isikwere se-hypotenuse, uyakhiwa kwakhona itempile.
Emva kokuba umviwa ephakanyiselwe kwinqanaba leMasters Mason, umele i UMenzi, Ucinga, yaye Ndiyazi, nganye ikhulele kwinqanaba layo kwaye idityaniswe ukuze itratu, the Self Triune. Obu buqu buyi-Masonry emelwe njenge kuneneUnxantathu-unxantathu kwindawo yokuhlala.
