UKUCINGA NOKUQINISA

UHarold W. Percival

INDLELA YOKUZIPHATHA NGAMNYE

Le ncwadi yayicelwa uBenoni B. Gattell ngexesha eliphakathi kwe1912 kunye ne1932. Ukususela ngoko kusebenze kwakhona kwakhona. Ngoku, kwi-1946, kukho ambalwa amaphepha angazange atshintshe kancane. Ukuze ugweme ukuphindaphinda nokuxakeka kwamaphepha aphelile, kwaye ndiye ndongeza amanqaku amaninzi, imihlathi kunye namaphepha.

Ngaphandle koncedo, kuyathandabuza ukuba umsebenzi Ngezabhalwa, ngoba bekunzima kum ukucinga nokucinga ngokufanayo ixesha. Umzimba wam bekumele uhleli ngelixa ndim cinga isihloko kungakhathaliseki kungena imo Ukukhetha amagama afanelekileyo ukwakha ulwakhiwo lwe imo: kwaye kunjalo, ndinombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngaye umsebenzi ukwenzile. Ndimele ndivume apha iiofisi zobubele zabahlobo, umnqweno ukuhlala bengachazwanga ngamagama, iingcebiso zabo kunye noncedo lobugcisa ekugqibezeni umsebenzi.

Owona msebenzi unzima yayikukufumana amagama ukubonakalisa isifundo esibuyile kungakhathaliseki inyangwa. Umzamo wam onzima yayikukufumana amagama kunye namabinzana azakudlula meaning Iimpawu zento yokwenyani, kunye nokubonisa ukungafani kwabo ngokuphathelene kwi qaphela zizithela kwimizimba yabantu. Emva kotshintsho oluphindiweyo ekugqibeleni ndade ndaziinza ngokwamagama asetyenziswe apha.

Izifundo ezininzi azenziwanga ngokucacileyo njengoko ndingathanda ukuba zibe nazo, kodwa utshintsho olwenziwe lufanele lwanele okanye lube lukhuni, kuba ekufundeni nganye ukutshintsha ezinye kubonakala kululeka.

Andikhathaleli ukushumayela nakubani na; Andizigqali njengomshumayeli okanye umfundisi. Ukuba bekungekho nto ndinoxanduva lwencwadi, ndingathanda ukuba yeyam Ubuntu ungabizwa njengombhali wayo. I bukhulu yezihloko endinikezela ngazo ulwazi, iyandikhulula kunye nokundikhulula kokungazihloneli kunye nokwenqena isicelo sokuthozama. Ndizimisele ukwenza intetho engaqhelekanga kwaye ndiyothusa qaphela nakukungafi, okukuwo wonke umzimba womntu; kwaye ndiyakuthatha kancinci ukuba umntu lowo athathe isigqibo sokuba uza kwenza ntoni okanye engazukuyenza ngolwazi olunikiweyo.

Abantu abanengcinga bagxininise isidingo sokuthetha apha kwezinye zam amava kwimimandla yokuba qaphela, kunye neziganeko zam ubomi enokunceda ekucaciseni ukuba kwenzeka njani ukuba ndibazi kwaye ndibhale ngezinto ezingafaniyo kwiinkolelo zangoku. Batsho ukuba iyimfuneko kuba akukho bhayibhile yongezwa kwaye akukho zalathiso zinikezelwayo zokuxhasa ingxelo ekhoyo. Ezinye zam amava ibingafani nenye into endiyivileyo okanye endiyifundileyo. Eyam ukucinga malunga nomntu ubomi kwaye ilizwe esiphila kulo liye landityhilela izifundo kunye nemeko endingayifumani ekhankanyiweyo ezincwadini. Kodwa kuya kuba yinto engekho ngqiqweni ukucinga ukuba loo nto inokubakho, kodwa ungaziwa kwabanye. Kufanele ukuba kukho abo bayaziyo kodwa abangazixeli. Andikho phantsi kwesibambiso semfihlo. Andinguye umbutho walo naluphi na uhlobo. Andiphuli ukholo ekuxeleni endikufumeneyo ukucinga; ngokuqinileyo ukucinga ngelixa uvukile, engangeni ukulala okanye ngokuphupha. Andikaze ndibekho kwaye andikaze ndinqwenele ukuba sezintanjeni zalo naluphi na uhlobo.

Endikuko qaphela yexesha ukucinga malunga nezifundo ezifana isithuba, i units of kungakhathaliseki, umgaqo-siseko we kungakhathaliseki, ingqiqo, ixesha, dimensions, indalo kunye ingaphandle of iingcinga, ndiya, ithemba, zivule iindawo zophando kunye nokuxhaphaza kwixesha elizayo. Ngayo ixesha kunene Ukuziphatha kufanele kube yinxalenye yomntu ubomi, kwaye kufuneka ihambelane nesayensi kunye nokuyila. Emva koko impucuko inokuqhubeka, kunye nokuzimela nge uxanduva iya kuba ngumgaqo womntu ngamnye ubomi noRhulumente.

Nantsi imizobo yezinye amava kokuqala kwam ubomi:

Rhythm ibingowam wokuqala imvakalelo Unxibelelwano kunye neli lizwe lokubonakalayo. Emva kwexesha ndeva ngaphakathi emzimbeni, kwaye ndabeva amazwi. Ndiye ndaqonda meaning kwizandi ezenziwe zizandi; Andibonanga kwanto, kodwa mna, njengoko imvakalelo, unokufumana meaning Nakuliphi na igama-izandi ezivakaliswa, yi isigqi; nowam imvakalelo unike imo kunye nombala wezinto ezichazwe ngamagama. Xa ndingasebenzisa ukuqonda kwe umbono ndibone izinto, ndiyifumene iifomu nokubonakala endinguye, njengoko imvakalelo, bendivile, ukuba ndingangqinelana nemvumelwano yoko ndikubambayo. Xa ndandikwazi ukusebenzisa iimvakalelo ze umbono, ukuva, ngcamango kwaye livumba kwaye ndibuze kwaye ndiphendula imibuzo, ndafumanisa ukuba ndingowasemzini kwilizwe elingaqhelekanga. Ndayazi ukuba andinguye umzimba endandihlala kuwo, kodwa kwakungekho mntu wayenokundixelela ukuba ndingubani okanye ndivelaphi, kwaye uninzi lwabantu endandibabuza lwalukholwa ukuba yayiyimizimba ababehlala kuyo.

Ndaye ndabona ukuba ndisemzimbeni apho andizokwazi ukuzikhulula. Ndilahlekile, ndindedwa, kwaye ndikwimeko ebuhlungu buhlungu. Iziganeko eziphindiweyo kwaye amava ndandiqinisekile ukuba izinto aziyiyo; ukuba luyaqhubeka utshintsho; ukuba akukho kusisigxina kwayo nantoni na; abantu bahlala bethetha ngokuchaseneyo noko babekuthetha ngokwenene. Abantwana badlale imidlalo abayibiza ngokuba "yenza ukholo" okanye "masenze ngathi." Abantwana badlalwe, amadoda nabafazi babeziqhelanisa nokuzenzisa; ngokuthe ngqo abantu bambalwa babenyanisekile kwaye benyanisekile. Kwakukho inkunkuma kumzamo wabantu, kwaye ukubonakala khange kuhlale. Inkangeleko ayenzelwanga ukuba iqhubeke. Ndazibuza: Ingaba zinokwenziwa njani izinto ezizokuhlala, kwaye zenziwe ngaphandle kokuchitha kunye nokudideka? Elinye icandelo lam liphendule: Okokuqala, yazi into oyifunayo; bona kwaye ubambe ngokuqinileyo engqondweni le imo apho uya kufumana oko ukufunayo. Emva koko cinga kwaye wenze kwaye uthethe ukubonakala, kwaye oko ucinga ukuba kuya kuqokelelwa kwizinto ezingabonakaliyo emoyeni kwaye zilungiselelwe ngaphakathi nangaphaya imo. Andikhange ndicinge ngala magama, kodwa la magama abonakalisa oko ke cinga. Ndaziva ndinethemba lokuba ndingayenza loo nto, kwaye ngaxeshanye ndizame kwaye ndizame ixesha elide. Ndaphumelela. Ekusileleni ndaziva ndidanile, ndidanile, kwaye ndinentloni.

Andikwazi ukukunceda ukuba ndiqwalasele imicimbi. Endikuvayo ngabantu bethetha ngezinto ezenzekileyo, ngakumbi ukufa, khange ibonakale inengqondo. Abazali bam babengamaKristu azinikeleyo. Ndiyivile ifundwe isithi "UThixo'Wenza umhlaba; ukuba wadala ukungafi Mphefumlo kumzimba ngamnye womntu osemhlabeni; kwaye ukuba Mphefumlo ongathobelanga UThixo iyaphoswa isihogo kwaye baya kutsha ngomlilo nesalfure ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Khange ndikholelwe nelizwi lanto. Kubonakala ngathi akukho ngqiqweni kum ukuba ndicinge okanye ndikholelwe ukuba ikho UThixo okanye ukuba wawukhona umhlaba okanye wandenzela umzimba endihleli kuwo. Nditshise umnwe ngomdlalo wesibabule, kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba umzimba ungatshiswa ukufa; kodwa bendisazi ukuba mna, yintoni qaphela njengoko nam, ndingenakutshiswa kwaye ndingenakufa, loo mlilo nesibabule azangendibulale, nangona intlungu ukusuka kolo tshiso yayisoyikeka. Ndiyayibona ingozi, kodwa andizange Ukoyika.

Abantu babonakala ngathi abazi “kutheni” okanye “yintoni,” malunga ubomi okanye malunga ukufa. Bendisazi ukuba kumele kubekho sizathu ngayo yonke into eyenzekileyo. Ndifuna ukwazi iimfihlo zika ubomi kunye ukufa, kwaye uphile ngonaphakade. Bendingazi ukuba kutheni, kodwa andinakukunceda ukufuna oko. Ndiyazi ukuba akunakubakho ubusuku nemini kwaye ubomi kwaye ukufa, kwaye akukho lizwe, ngaphandle kokuba kukho abalumkileyo ababelawula umhlaba nobusuku nemini kwaye ubomi kwaye ukufa. Nangona kunjalo, ndaye ndazimisela ukuba yeyam Injongo Ndingafumana ezi zilumko ezizakundixelela ukuba ndifunde njani kwaye ndenze ntoni, ukuphathiswa iimfihlo zika ubomi kwaye ukufa. Bendingayi kucinga nokuxela le nto, isigqibo sam esiqinileyo, kuba abantu abayi kuqonda; bangakholelwa kum ukuba ndisisidenge okanye ndisisidenge. Ndandineminyaka esixhenxe ubudala ngelo xesha ixesha.

Kudlule iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu okanye ngaphezulu. Ndiphawule imbono eyahlukileyo ubomi Amakhwenkwe namantombazana, ngelixa bekhula kwaye betshintsha baba ngamadoda namakhosikazi, ngakumbi ngexesha lokufikisa, ngakumbi awam. Izimvo zam zazitshintshile, kodwa zam Injongo-Ukuze ufumane izilumko, ngubani owaziyo, nobanokuthi ndifunde iimfihlo zakhe ubomi kwaye ukufa-Ngaguqukanga. Bendiqinisekile ngobukho babo; umhlaba ngekhe ubekho, ngaphandle kwabo. Ngokulandelelana kweziganeko ndiye ndabona ukuba kufanele ukuba kubekho urhulumente kunye nolawulo lwehlabathi, kanye njengoko kufanele ukuba kube khona urhulumente welizwe okanye ulawulo lwalo naliphi na ishishini ukuze ezi ziqhubeke. inye Ngemini umama wandibuza ukuba ndikholelwa ntoni. Ngaphandle kokuthandabuza ndathi: Ndiyazi ngaphandle tha ndabuza ukuba lungisa ndilawula ihlabathi, nkqu nelam ubomi Kubonakala njengobungqina bokuba ayiyenzi loo nto, kuba andiboni ukuba kunokwenzeka ukufezekisa into endiyaziyo, nento endiyithandayo umnqweno.

Kwakuloo nyaka, ngentwasahlobo ye-1892, ndafunda kwiphepha leCawa ukuba uMadam Blavatsky wayengumfundi wamadoda azilumko eMpuma awayebizwa ngokuba “nguMahatmas”; ukuba ngokuphila okuphindaphindiweyo emhlabeni, babezuze bulumko; Iimfihlo zika ubomi kwaye ukufa, kwaye ukuba babangele uMadam Blavatsky imo Umbutho weTheosophical, apho iimfundiso zawo zinganikezelwa eluntwini. Kwakuza kubakho intetho ngaloo ngokuhlwa. Ndiye e. Emva kwexesha ndaba lilungu elinomdla loMbutho. Isimangalo sokuba kukho amadoda azizilumko-nangawo nawaphi na amagama awayebizwa ngawo — andizange ndothuke; Obu bubungqina nje obuvakalayo bento endayiqinisekayo ukuba iyimfuneko ekuqhubeni phambili komntu kwanokukhokelwa nokukhokelwa indalo. Ndifunde konke endinako malunga nabo. Mna cinga yokuba ngumfundi wenye yezilumko; kodwa yaqhubeka ukucinga Undikhokelele ekubeni ndiqonde ukuba eyona ndlela yayingeyiyo nasiphi na isicelo esisesikweni kuye nawuphi na umntu, kodwa kukuba ndilunge kwaye ndilungile. Andizange ndibone, okanye ndeva kuthi, okanye ndinxibelelana no, "izilumko" ezinjengoko bendizibonile. Andinaye utitshala. Ngoku ndingcono ukuqonda yemicimbi enjalo. Abona "Zilumko" yokwenene ziiTransune Selves, kwiThe Indawo yokuhlala isigxina. Ndayeka ukunxibelelana nayo yonke imibutho yoluntu.

Ukusukela ngoNovemba we-1892 ndadlula ngendlela emangazayo kwaye ibaluleke amava, emva koko, ngentwasahlobo ye-1893, kwenzeka isiganeko esingaqhelekanga kakhulu ubomi. Ndandiwele i-14th Street e-4th Avenue, kwisiXeko saseNew York. Iimoto kunye nabantu babekhawuleza. Ngelixesha unyuka usiya kwikona esemantla empuma, ukukhanya, ezinkulu kunezo zimashumi lilanga ezivulwe embindini wentloko yam. Kwangoko okanye indawoIzinto zangaphambi kwexesha zabanjwa. Kwakungekho ixesha. Umgama kunye dimensions zazingenabungqina. indalo yaqulunqwa units. bendi qaphela ye units of indalo kunye units as Ubukrelekrele. Ngaphakathi nangaphaya, ukutsho, bekukho izibane ezikhulu nezincinci; ukugcwala okukhulu kokukhanya okungaphantsi, okubonisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze units. Izibane zazingezizo indalo; zazingokuKhanya njengoko Ubukrelekrele, Unonophelo Izibane. Xa kuthelekiswa nokuqaqamba okanye ukukhanya kwezi Zibane, ukukhanya kwelanga elijikelezileyo kwakuyinkungu emnyama. Kwaye ngaphakathi nangaphakathi kuzo zonke izibane kunye units nezinto endazizo qaphela Ubukho buka Ubulumko. Bendisazi Ubulumko njengoSiphelo kunye nokuGqibeleleyo inyaniso, kwaye ndiyayazi ngokuphathelene zezinto. Khange ndibone vuyo, iimvakalelo, okanye uchulumanco. Amagama asilela ngokupheleleyo ukuchaza okanye ukucacisa UCWANGCISO. Kuya kuba lilize ukuzama ukucacisa ubungangamsha obuqaqambileyo kunye namandla kunye nocwangco kwaye ngokuphathelene in ukuzola Into endayiqaphelayo ngelo xesha. Kabini kwiminyaka elishumi nane ezayo, ixesha elide ixesha sihlandlo ngasinye, bendisazi Ubulumko. Kodwa ngelixesha ixesha Ndandingazi nto nangakumbi kunokuba ndandikhe ndazi ngaloo mzuzu wokuqala.

ukuba qaphela of Ubulumko Ngaba iseti yamagama ahambelana nawo endiwanyulileyo njengebinzana lokuthetha awona mzuzu unamandla kunye nomangalisayo wam ubomi.

Ubulumko ukho kuzo zonke iyunithi. Ke ubukho be Ubulumko yenza yonke iyunithi uyazi njenge umsebenzi lenza ngokwenqanaba elikulo. Ukuqaphela Ubulumko ityhila "ukungaziwa" kulowo usazi. Ke iya kuba msebenzi yalowo azise oko anako ukwazi Ubulumko.

Ixabiso elifanelekileyo lokuba qaphela of Ubulumko kukuba yenza ukuba umntu azi malunga nasiphi na isifundo, ngayo ukucinga. Ucinga kukubanjwa okungagungqiyo kweConscious ukukhanya ngaphakathi komxholo we ukucinga. Ngamafutshane, ukucinga ngamanqanaba amane: ukukhetha umxholo; ebambe i-Conscious ukukhanya ngaloo nto; ukugxila kwi ukukhanya; kunye, ugxininiso lwe ukukhanya. Xa ukukhanya egxile, umxholo uyaziwa. Ngale ndlela, Ucinga kwaye isiphelo ibhaliwe.

Ekhethekileyo Injongo yale ncwadi yile: Ukuxela qaphela sizilungiselele kwimizimba yabantu ukuba asinakwahlulwa umenzi iinxalenye zesazela ukungafi ngamnye trinities, Triune Selves, ngubani, ngaphakathi nangaphaya ixesha, ebehlala nabakhulu bethu ucinga kwaye owaziyo amalungu kwimizimba engenasondo efanelekileyo Indawo yokuhlala isigxina; ukuba thina, sizazi thina ngoku kwimizimba yabantu, sisilele kuvavanyo olubalulekileyo, size ke sikhutshiwe kuloo nto Indawo yokuhlala isigxina kweli lizwe lethutyana lobudoda kunye nelizwe lokuzalwa kunye ukufa kwaye ukuphinda ubekhona; ukuba asinawo inkumbulo Oku kungenxa yokuba sizibeka kwi-hypnotic ukulala, Ukuya iphupha; ukuba siza kuqhubeka iphupha ngokusebenzisa ubomi, ngokusebenzisa ukufa kwaye ndibuyele ku ubomi; ukuba kufuneka siqhubeke siyenza le nto de de-sikhuphele ngaphandle kokuqonda, sivuke, ngaphandle kwe- hypnosis apho sizibeka khona; ukuba, nangona kuthatha ixesha elide, kufuneka siphaphame kwesethu iphuphaYazi of ngokwethu as ngokwethu kwimizimba yethu, kwaye sandule ngokutsha kwaye sibuyisele imizimba yethu ngonaphakade ubomi ekhayeni lethu- Indawo yokuhlala isigxina savela kulo — elihambahamba eli lizwe lethu, kodwa lingabonakali ngamehlo. Ke siyakuthatha indawo zethu ngenkuthalo kwaye siqhubeke neenxalenye zethu ku-Oda lwaNgoko lwenkqubela phambili. Indlela yokuphumeza oku iboniswe kwizahluko ezilandelayo.

Kule ncwadi ebhaliweyo umsebenzi ikwangumshicileli. Kuncinci ixesha ukongeza koko kubhaliweyo. Ngexesha leminyaka emininzi yokulungiselela kwayo kuye kwabuzwa ukuba ndibandakanye kwitekisi ukutolikwa kweendinyana ezithile zeBhayibhile ezibonakala zingaqondakali, kodwa zithini, ukukhanya malunga noko kuye kwatshiwo kula maphepha, yenza ingcaciso kwaye unayo meaning, kwaye yeyiphi, ngokufanayo ixesha, iingxelo eziqinisekisiweyo ezenziweyo kule umsebenzi. Kodwa ndandihlukile ekwenzeni uthelekiso okanye ukubonisa imbalelwano. Ndifuna le umsebenzi ukugwetywa yedwa ngokwaselungelweni lakhe.

Kunyaka ophelileyo ndiye ndathenga ivolumu equkethe "Iincwadi Ezilahlekileyo Zebhayibhile kunye neencwadi Ezilibalekileyo ze-Eden. Ukukhangela amaphepha ezi ncwadi, kuyothusa ukubona ukuba zingaphi iindinyana ezingaqhelekanga nezingaqondakaliyo ezinokuqondwa xa umntu ekuqonda okubhaliweyo apha malunga Self Triune nezahlulo zalo zithathu; malunga ne ukuvuselelwa ngokutsha yomzimba wenyama ube ngumzimba ogqibeleleyo, ongafiyo womzimba, kunye Indawo yokuhlala isigxina, —Amagama athi uYesu 'buBukumkani buka UThixo. "

Kuphinde kwenziwa izicelo zokucaciswa kweendinyana zeBhayibhile. Mhlawumbi kulungile ukuba le yenziwe kwaye abafundi be Ucinga kwaye isiphelo Unikwe ubungqina bokuqinisekisa ukuba iingxelo ezithile ezikule ncwadi, ubungqina bunokufunyanwa kwiTestamente eNtsha nakwiincwadi ezichazwe ngasentla. Ke ke ndiya kongeza icandelo lesihlanu kwiCandelo X,Thixo kunye zabo Iinkonzo, ”Ejongene nale micimbi.
