AMADODA NABAHLOBO

Xa ethetha ngezinto ezisisiseko umhlobo ubuza athi: Ithini intsingiselo echanekileyo yegama elithi izinto ezisisiseko, elisetyenziswa kwiincoko ezininzi ngabakholelwa kwizinto ezisisiseko kunye nabakholelwa kwizinto ezifihlakeleyo?

I-elemental liqumrhu elingaphantsi kwenqanaba lomntu; Umzimba we-elemental yenziwe yenye yezinto ezine. Yiyo loo nto igama elithi isiqalelo, intsingiselo okanye iyinxalenye yezinto. Iintanda-bulumko zakwa-mediaeval ezaziwa ngokuba ziiRosicrucians zahlula-hlula izinto zibe ziindidi ezine, zinxulumanisa iklasi nganye kwenye yezinto ezine eziphathwa ngabo njengomhlaba, amanzi, umoya kunye nomlilo. Ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba ezi zinto azifani nezinto zethu ezinzulu. Ngokomzekelo, umhlaba asiyiyo le nto siyibonayo esingqongileyo, kodwa sisiqalelo esisisiseko osekelwe kuso umhlaba wethu oqinileyo. IiRosicrucian zathiya iziseko zomhlaba, iignomes; ezo zamanzi, azifani; ezo ze, umoya, iisylfs; kwaye abo bomlilo, salamanders. Nanini na xa isahlulo sesinye seziqalelo sinikwa ulwalathiso yingcinga enzulu yomntu, le ngcinga ithatha uhlobo lwayo kuphawu lobume bayo kwaye ibonakala njengequmrhu elahlukileyo kwinto, kodwa umzimba wayo ungowaloo nto. Ezo ziqalelo ezingadalwanga yingcinga yomntu ngeli xesha lendaleko zazicingela ukuba zikho, ngenxa yembonakalo yexesha langaphambili lendaleko. Ukudalwa kwento yokuqala kungenxa yengqondo, yomntu okanye yendalo yonke. Izinto eziziziqalelo ezaziwa njengezinto zomhlaba zikuzo ngokwazo iindidi ezisixhenxe, kwaye zezo zihlala emiqolombeni nasezintabeni, emigodini nakuzo zonke iindawo zomhlaba. Bangabakhi bomhlaba kunye nezimbiwa kunye nesinyithi. Ii-undines zihlala kwimithombo, emilanjeni, elwandle, nakumanzi omoya, kodwa kuthatha indibaniselwano yamanzi, umoya kunye nezinto zomlilo ukuvelisa imvula. Ngokubanzi kuthatha indibaniselwano yeeklasi ezimbini okanye ngaphezulu zee-elemental ukuvelisa nayiphi na isenzeko sendalo. Ke iikristale zenziwe ngokudityaniswa komhlaba, umoya, amanzi, kunye nezinto zomlilo. Kunjalo ke nangamatye anqabileyo. Iisylfs zihlala emoyeni, emithini, kwiintyatyambo zamasimi, kumatyholo, nakubo bonke ubukumkani bemifuno. Iisalamanders zezomlilo. Idangatye liza kubakho ngobukho besalamande. Umlilo wenza intulo ibonakale. Xa kukho ilangatye sibona inxalenye enye intulo. Iimpawu zomlilo zezona zingabonakali. Ezi zine zidibana enye kwenye ekuveliseni imililo, izaqhwithi, izikhukula, neenyikima.

Kuthetha ukuthini 'isiqalelo somntu'? Ngaba kukho umahluko phakathi kwayo nengqondo ephantsi?

Into eyintloko yomntu liziko eyadityaniswa yindoda xa yayiqala ukwenzeka emzimbeni kunye nokudibana nayo nokudibana komzimba ngamnye ekwakheni umzimba wayo. Iqhubekeka kuyo yonke iminako yengqondo ide ithi, ngokunxulumana nengqondo ende, ifumane intsholongwane okanye isiqaqa sokuziva. Ayiseyonto eyomntu, koko ingqondo esezantsi. Ukusuka kwinto yabantu kuvela i-linga sharira. Into esisiseko yomntu yinto eseMadame Blavatsky "Imfihlo yeMfundiso" ebizwa ngokuba yi "bharishad pitri," okanye "ukhokho wenyanga," kanti umntu, u-Ego, ngoka-agneswatta pitri, womnatha welanga, unyana welanga.

Ngaba kukho i-elemental yokulawula iminqweno, enye inokulawula imikhosi ebalulekileyo, enye inokulawula imisebenzi yomzimba, okanye ingaba ulawulo lwamaqela oluntu luzo zonke ezi zinto?

I-elemental yomntu ilawula zonke ezi zinto. I-linga sharira yi-automaton ephumeza iminqweno ye-elemental yomntu. I-bharishad pitri ayifi ngokufa komzimba, njengoko kunjalo ne-linga sharira. I-linga sharira, umntwana wayo, iveliswa kuyo yonke into eyenzeka emzimbeni. I-bharishad injengomama osebenza yingqondo ezalwa ngokutsha okanye i-Ego, kwaye kwesi senzo kuveliswa i-linga sharira. I-elemental yomntu ilawula yonke imisebenzi ekhankanyiweyo kulo mbuzo, kodwa umsebenzi ngamnye wenziwa yi-elemental eyahlukileyo. I-elemental yelungu ngalinye lomzimba iyazi kwaye ilawula kuphela ubomi obuya kwenza elo lungu, kwaye lenze umsebenzi walo, kodwa ayazi nto ngomsebenzi welinye ilungu, kodwa i-elemental yomntu ibona ukuba yonke le misebenzi yenziwa kwaye inxulumene omnye nomnye ngokuhambelanayo. Zonke izenzo zomzimba ezingafunekiyo ezifana nokuphefumla, ukugaya, ukubila, zonke zilawulwa yi-elemental yomntu. Lo ngumsebenzi weBuddhic emzimbeni wendalo yomntu. Kwi- Editorial on “Consciousness,” The Word, Vol. I, iphepha lama-293, kuthiwa: “Imeko yesihlanu yento yingqondo yomntu okanye u-I-am-I. Kwixesha leminyaka engenakubalwa, i-athomu engenakutshabalaliswa eyayikhokela ezinye ii-athomu ukuya kwiminerali, ngemifuno, ukuya kwisilwanyana, ekugqibeleni ifikelela kwimeko ephezulu yento apho kubonakaliswa khona uBulumko obunye. Njengoko iyinto ezimeleyo kwaye inomfanekiso woBulumko ngaphakathi, icinga kwaye ithetha ngayo njengo-I, kuba ndingumqondiso woLowo. Into engumntu inomzimba wesilwanyana ohleliweyo phantsi kwesikhokelo sayo. Into esilwanyana inyanzela ilungu ngalinye laso ukuba lenze umsebenzi othile. Into ephilayo yelungu ngalinye ikhokela iseli ngalinye lalo ukuba lenze umsebenzi othile. Ubomi beseli nganye bukhokela imolekyuli nganye yalo ekukhuleni. Uyilo lwemolekyuli nganye luthintela iathomu nganye yalo kwimo ehlelekileyo, kwaye uBulumko buchukumisa iathomu nganye ngenjongo yokuba nobuntununtunu. Iiathomu, iimolekyuli, iiseli, amalungu, kunye nesilwanyana, zonke ziphantsi kolawulo lwengqondo—imeko yobuntununtunu—umsebenzi wayo ocingelwayo. Kodwa ingqondo ayifikeleli ukuziqonda, okukuphuhliso lwalo olupheleleyo, ide ilawule yonke iminqweno kunye nemibono efunyenwe ngeengqondo, kwaye igxile yonke ingcinga kwiConsciousness njengoko ibonakaliswa kuyo.” I-bharishad ngumphefumlo womzimba njengoko i-agnishwatta pitri ingumphefumlo womphefumlo wengqondo. “Ngaba kukho into elawula iminqweno?” Hayi. I-kama rupa inolwalamano olufanayo ne-Ego njengoko injalo i-linga sharira kwi-elemental yomntu. Kuphela ngelixa i-linga sharira iyinto ezenzekelayo yomzimba, i-kama rupa yinto ezenzekelayo yeminqweno ephazamisayo eshukumisa ihlabathi. Iminqweno yehlabathi ishukumisa i-kama rupa. Yonke into edlulayo ingena kwi-kama rupa. Ngoko i-linga sharira iyashukunyiswa kwaye ishukumise umzimba ngokweenkanuko okanye imiyalelo ye-elemental yomntu, i-kama rupa, okanye i-Ego.

Ingaba ulawulo olufanayo lwezinto ezisisiseko kunye nezenzo zomzimba kunye nemisebenzi engenamsebenzi yomzimba?

Ayikho into efana nokungazi nto okanye isenzo. Kuba nangona umntu enokuthi angayazi imisebenzi okanye isenzo somzimba wakhe, into eyongayo yecandelo okanye umsebenzi ngokuqinisekileyo uyayazi, kungenjalo ngekhe isebenze. Into efanayo ayihlali isenza yonke imisebenzi okanye izimbo zomzimba. Umzekelo, into yomntu yongamela umzimba uphela nangona ingangayazi into eyahlukileyo nesebenzayo le nto ebomvu yegazi.

Ngaba zizinto ezibalulekileyo kwiinkampani eziguqukayo eziqhelekileyo, kwaye ngaba bonke okanye nawuphi na kubo kwiinkqubo zokuziphendukela kwemvelo baba ngabantu?

Impendulo ngu-ewe kuyo yomibini le mibuzo. Umzimba womntu yindlu yesikolo yazo zonke izinto eziphambili. Emzimbeni womntu zonke iiklasi zazo zonke izinto eziphambili zifumana izifundo kunye nemiyalelo; kwaye umzimba womntu yiyunivesithi enkulu apho kuzo zonke izidanga abafunda izidanga ngokwamabanga abo. Into esisiseko somntu ithatha inqanaba lokuzazi kwaye kwithuba layo emva koko, njenge-Ego, yongamela enye into esisiseko esiba ngumntu, nazo zonke izinto ezisezantsi, kanye njengokuba i-Ego emzimbeni isenza ngoku.
