UKUCINGA NOKUQINISA

UHarold W. Percival

ISIHLOMELO

Isingeniso esilandelayo sabhalwa kwiminyaka elishumi elinesine ngaphambi kokupapashwa kokuqala kwe UkuCinga nokuPhelela. Ngeli xesha, uMnu Percival uqhubeke nokusebenza kule ncwadi kwaye wazisa amagama amatsha, anje ngomenzi, umntu ocinga, owaziyo, indlela yokuphefumla, iTriune Self kunye ne-Intelligence. Ezi kunye nezinye zahlelwa kule Ntshayelelo ukuze zihlaziywe. Emva koko yavela njengentshayelelo yale ncwadi ukusukela ngo-1946 ukuya ku-1971. Inguqulelo efinyeziweyo ethi, “Le Ncwadi Yayibhalwe Njani,” iye yavela njengesandulela ukusuka ngo-1991 ukuza kuthi ga koshicilelo lweshumi elinesihlanu. Isingeniso sikaBenoni B. Gattell, njengoko sichaziwe apha ngezantsi, siyinxalenye yembali UkuCinga nokuPhelela:

UKUPHATHWA

Banokubakho abo bangathanda ukufunda malunga nendlela le ncwadi yaveliswa ngayo nguHarold Waldwin Percival. Kubo ndibhalela intshayelelo kunye nemvume yakhe

Wayeyalela kuba, njengoko watshoyo, wayengakwazi ukucinga nokubhala ngaxeshanye, njengoko umzimba wakhe kwakufuneka uthi cwaka xa efuna ukucinga.

Wayeyalela ngaphandle kokubhekisa kuyo nayiphi na incwadi okanye elinye igunya. Andazi ukuba akukho ncwadi anokufumana kuyo ulwazi apha phantsi. Khange ayifumane kwaye ngekhe ayifumane ngokungacacanga okanye ngokwasemphefumlweni.

Ekuphenduleni umbuzo ukuba ulufumene njani ulwazi, olugqitha kumanqanaba amane amakhulu kunye neNtloko yoBukrelekrele, kwaye afikelele kuLwazi uqobo, uthe izihlandlo ezininzi ukusukela ebutsheni bakhe wayeyazi iMvakalelo. Ke ngoko unokwazi ukuqonda imeko yayo nayiphi na into, nokuba ikwiNdalo iphela ebonakalisiweyo okanye engabonakaliswanga, ngokucinga ngayo. Wayesithi xa ecinga ngomxholo ngenyameko ukucinga kuphele xa umxholo uvuleka ukusuka kwindawo ukuya ekupheleleni.

Ubunzima awadibana nabo, ke wathi, yayikukukhupha olu lwazi kwi-Ever-Unmanifested, kumanqanaba okanye kwihlabathi, kwindawo yakhe yengqondo. Ubunzima obukhulu nangakumbi yayikukuyichaza ngokuchanekileyo ukuze nabani na ayiqonde, ngolwimi apho kwakungekho magama afanelekileyo.

Kunzima ukutsho ukuba yintoni eyayibonakala iphawuleka ngakumbi, indlela yakhe yokuchaza iinyani ngokuchanekileyo kwifom ye-organic ayenzileyo okanye ukungqinisisa kwabo ngokufunda iisimboli azikhankanyileyo kwisahluko seshumi elinesithathu.

Uthe le ncwadi ijongene nezinto ngokubanzi kwaye kukho izinto ezingenakubalwa ezingenakubalwa. Uthe eli lixesha lokucinga; kukho umjikelo waseNtshona ongena kuwo, kwaye iimeko zenzelwe ukuqonda nokukhula.

Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesixhenxe eyadlulayo wandinika ulwazi oluninzi ngoku kule ncwadi. Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu ndihleli naye kwindlu enye kwaye ndibhala ezinye zeentetho zakhe.

Ngelixa uPercival epapashe imiqulu engamashumi amabini anesihlanu YELIZWI ukusukela ngo-Okthobha u-1904 ukuya nge-Septemba ka-1917 wayalela ezinye zohlelo kum, kwaye ezinye zaya komnye umhlobo. Baye bayalelwa ngokungxama, ukuba bapapashwe kwinkupho elandelayo yeLIZWI. Phakathi kwabo kwakukho abasithoba, ukususela ngoAgasti 1908 ukuya kuAprili 1909, eKarma. Ufunde eli gama njengo-Ka-R-Ma, elithetha umnqweno kunye nengqondo isebenza, Oko kukuthi, iingcinga. Imijikelezo yokuphuma ngaphandle kwengcinga ikamva lomntu owadala okanye owonwabisa le ngcinga. Wenza apho inzame zokuchaza ikamva labo ebantwini, ngokubabonisa ukuqhubeka kokusekwa zizinto ezibonakala ngathi zinobundlongondlongo, iziganeko ezingaqhelekanga kubomi bamadoda, ekuhlaleni nakubantu.

I-Percival ngelo xesha yayijolise ekuxeleleni ngokwaneleyo ukwenza ukuba wonke umntu onqwenelayo afumane into malunga nokuba ungubani, wayephi kunye nekamva lakhe. Ngokubanzi, eyona njongo yakhe yayikukuzisa abafundi beLIZWI ukuba baqonde amazwe abaziyo kuwo. Kule ncwadi wayethetha ukongeza ukunceda nabani na onqwenela ukuba nolwazi ngeNgcali. Njengoko iingcinga zabantu, ikakhulu ezesini, iziqalelo, iimvakalelo kunye nobukrelekrele bendalo, zibekwe ngaphandle kwizenzo, izinto kunye neziganeko zobomi bemihla ngemihla, wayenqwenela nokunxibelelana ngolwazi malunga nokucinga okungazenzi ngcinga, kwaye kuphela indlela yokukhulula umenzi kobu bomi.

Ngenxa yoko wandibuyisela abaHleli abasithoba kwiKarma, izahluko ezine ezikule ncwadi, yesihlanu, yesithandathu, yesixhenxe neyesibhozo, ebizwa ngokuba yiPhysical, Psychic, Mental, kunye neNoetic Destiny. Babesisiseko. Wayalela isahluko sesibini ukuba anike injongo kunye nesiCwangciso seNdalo iphela, kwaye eyesine ibonise ukusebenza koMthetho wokuCinga kuyo. Kwisahluko sesithathu ujongane ngokufutshane neeNkcaso abanye abanokuzenza ezinokuthintelwa yimibono yabo kukukholelwa kokuzibophelela. Ubukho kwakhona kufuneka buqondwe ukuze kubanjwe indlela esebenza ngayo ikamva; kwaye ke wayalela isahluko sesithoba ngobukho kwakhona bamacandelo alishumi elinambini ngokokulandelelana kwawo. Isahluko seshumi songezwa ukukhanyisa oothixo kunye neenkolo zabo. Ngomhla weshumi elinanye wajongana neNdlela eNkulu, iNdlela-ntathu, eya kukwazi ukungafi, apho umenzi azikhululela khona. Kwisahluko seshumi elinambini, kwiNqaku okanye kwiSangqa, wabonisa indlela yokudala indalo eqhubekayo. Isahluko seshumi elinesithathu, kwiSangqa, siphatha yonke into engaBandakanyiweyo i-Nameless Circle kunye namanqaku ayo alishumi elinambini angenamagama, kunye nesangqa esikwisangqa esingenagama, esibonisa indalo iphela; Amanqaku alishumi elinambini kwisazinge sawo wawahlulahlula ngemiqondiso yeZodiac, ukuze ziphathwe ngendlela eyiyo kwaye ukuze nabani na okhethayo azobe kwimigca elula uphawu lwejiyometri, ukuba angayifunda, angqine kuye kubhalwe ntoni kule ncwadi. Kwisahluko seshumi elinesine wanikela ngenkqubo umntu anokucinga ngayo ngaphandle kokwenza iingcinga, kwaye wabonisa ekuphela kwendlela yenkululeko, kuba zonke iingcinga zenza ikamva. Kukho ukucinga malunga nesiqu sakho, kodwa akukho zingcinga ngaso.

Ukusukela ngo-1912 wachaza umbandela wezahluko namacandelo azo. Nanini na xa sasifumaneka sobabini, kuyo yonke le minyaka mininzi, wayeyalela. Wayefuna ukwabelana ngolwazi lwakhe, nokuba mkhulu kangakanani umzamo, nokuba lide kangakanani ixesha lokuyinxibisa amagama afanelekileyo. Wayethetha ngokukhululekileyo kuye nawuphina umntu osondelayo kwaye efuna ukuva kuye malunga nemicimbi ekule ncwadi.

Akazange asebenzise ulwimi olukhethekileyo. Wayefuna ukuba nabani na oyifundayo ayiqonde le ncwadi. Uthethe ngokulinganayo, kwaye ethe chu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndibhale amazwi akhe ngesandla eside. Nangona uninzi lwento ekule ncwadi ibonakalisiwe okokuqala, intetho yakhe ibiyinto yendalo kunye nezivakalisi ezicacileyo ngaphandle kwentsingiselo enesidima. Akazange anike mpikiswano, uluvo okanye inkolelo, kwaye akazange athi izigqibo. Uxelele into ayaziyo. Usebenzise amagama aqhelekileyo okanye, izinto ezintsha, ukudibanisa amagama alula. Zange atsho nto. Akazange ashiye nantoni na engagqitywanga, engapheliyo, engaqondakaliyo. Ngokwesiqhelo wayewudinisa umxholo wakhe, kangangoko wayenqwenela ukuthetha ngako, kumgca awayekuwo. Xa umxholo uvela komnye umgca wathetha ngawo kunye naloo nto.

Le ebeyithetha ebengayikhumbuli ngokweenkcukacha. Uthe akakhathali ukukhumbula ulwazi endibeke phantsi. Wayecinga ngesihloko ngasinye njengoko sasivela, nokuba wayesele esitsho ngantoni. Yiyo loo nto xa eyalela isishwankathelo seengxelo zangaphambili wacinga ngemicimbi kwakhona kwaye wazuza ulwazi ngokutsha. Rhoqo kuye kongezwa izinto ezintsha kwizishwankathelo. Ngaphandle kokulungiselela kwangaphambili, iziphumo zokucinga kwakhe kwizifundo ezifanayo kwimigca eyahlukeneyo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngamakhefu eminyaka, zazingqinelana. Yiyo loo nto kwicandelo le-XNUMX lesahluko esingokuphila kwakhona izimvo zikwimeko yoLwazi, ukuqhubeka nokukhohlisa; kumacandelo amathandathu okuqala esahluko seshumi elinine umbono uvela kwindawo yokucinga; ukanti into awayithethayo ngamanqaku afanayo kula maxesha ahlukeneyo phantsi kwezi meko zahlukeneyo ayedibana.

Ngamanye amaxesha wayethetha ephendula imibuzo efuna iinkcukacha ezithe kratya. Ucele ukuba le mibuzo ichaneke kwaye ibe kwinqanaba elinye ngexesha. Ngamanye amaxesha amacandelo ayephindaphindiwe, ukuba wavula umxholo ngokubanzi kangangokuba ukuphindaphinda kuye kwafuneka.

Into endiyithathileyo kuye ndiyifundile, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, ngokudweba izivakalisi zakhe kunye nokushiya ukuphindaphinda, ndiyicacisa ngoncedo lukaHelen Stone Gattell, owayebhalele ILIZWI. Ulwimi alusebenzisileyo alutshintshwanga. Akukho nto yongezwa. Amanye amagama akhe atshintshelwa ukufundeka. Yathi yakugqitywa ukubhalwa le ncwadi wayibhala wayifunda wayigqiba indlela yayo yokugqibela, ethatha indawo yamabinzana ayethunyelwe ngabantu abonwabileyo.

Xa wayethetha, wakhumbula ukuba abantu ababoni ngokuchanekileyo imilo, ubungakanani, umbala, indawo abakubonayo nakanye; banokubona kuphela kwigophe elibizwa ngokuba ngumgca othe ngqo kwaye banokubona kuphela umbandela kwizinto ezine ezomeleleyo kuphela xa uxinene; ukuba ukuqonda kwabo ngokubona kuncitshiswe bubungakanani bento, umgama wayo nohlobo lwento engenelelayo; ukuba kufuneka babe nelanga, ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo, kwaye abanakubona umbala ongaphaya kobubanzi, okanye uhlobo olungaphaya kolwandlalo; Kwaye banokubona kuphela umphezulu ongaphandle hayi ngaphakathi. Ukhumbule ukuba ukukhawula kwabo linyathelo elinye kuphela ngaphambi kokuqonda kwabo. Wayegcina engqondweni ukuba bazi kuphela ukuziva kunye nomnqweno kwaye ngamanye amaxesha bayaziqonda ukucinga kwabo. Ukhumbule ukuba abantu bafumana ntoni kule mida banqunyelwe kumathuba abo okucinga. Nangona kukho iintlobo ezilishumi elinambini zokucinga, banokucinga kuphela ngohlobo lwesibini, oko kukuthi, okwam hayi mna, omnye nomnye, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, okubonakalayo nokungabonakaliyo, izinto ezibonakalayo nezingabonakaliyo , ukukhanya kunye nobumnyama, kufutshane nakude, indoda nebhinqa; Abakwazi ukucinga ngxi kodwa ngexeshana, phakathi kokuphefumla; basebenzisa ingqondo enye kuphela kwezi zintathu ezikhoyo; kwaye bacinga kuphela ngezifundo ezicetyiswayo ngokubona, ukuva, ukungcamla, ukujoja nokunxibelelana. Malunga nezinto ezingezizo ezomzimba bacinga ngamagama ikakhulu izafobe zezinto ezibonakalayo kwaye ke zihlala zilahlekiswa ekucingeni izinto ezingezozinto ezibonakalayo. Ngenxa yokuba asikho esinye isigama, basebenzisa imiqathango yabo yendalo, njengomoya kunye namandla kunye nexesha, kwi-Triune Self. Bathetha ngamandla omnqweno, nangomoya njengento okanye engaphaya kwe-Triune Self. Bathetha ixesha njengoko kufanelekile kuBathathu abaThile. Amagama abacinga ngawo abathintela ekuboneni umahluko phakathi kwendalo kunye nesiqu sesiThathu.

Kudala-dala uPercival wenza umahluko phakathi kwamazwe amane kunye neendawo eziphantsi kwawo apho umcimbi wazi khona kwicala lendalo, kunye needigri ezintathu apho i-Triune Self iyazi kwicala elinengqondo. Uthe imithetho kunye neempawu zendalo azisebenzi nangayiphi na indlela kwi-Triune Self, eyinto ekrelekrele. Wahlala kwimfuneko yokwenza umzimba wenyama ungafi, ngexesha lobomi. Wacacisa ubudlelwane be-Triune Self kunye ne-aia yayo kunye nefom yokuphefumla apho umzimba oqaqambileyo ubumba ngokwawo kwaye ubambe umzimba wenyama ephindwe kane. Wahlula phakathi kwezinto ezimbini zesahlulo ngasinye sesahlulo sesithathu se-Triune Self, kwaye wabonisa unxibelelwano lwale Siqu nobukrelekrele obufumana kubo ukukhanya okusebenzisa ekucingeni. Ubonise ukwahlula phakathi kweengqondo ezisixhenxe ze-Triune Self. Uye wakhankanya ukuba umntu uziva izinto, izandi, iincasa, amavumba kunye noqhakamshelwano okuyizinto zokuqala kwaye ziguqulwa zisiba yimvakalelo nje ukuba zinxibelelana nomenzi emzimbeni, kodwa azive ngathi iimvakalelo zakhe zahlukile kwiimvakalelo. Uye wathi yonke into yendalo kunye nayo yonke into ekrelekrele iqhubeka kuphela ngelixa isemzimbeni womntu. Ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu eyadlulayo wayehlala kwixabiso leesimboli zejometri kwaye wasebenzisa iseti enye, leyo yenqaku okanye isangqa, kwinkqubo yakhe.

Nangona kunjalo ayisiyiyo yonke le nto ebonakala kumahlelo akhe kwi-WORD ngokucacileyo njengoko isenza kule ncwadi. Amanqaku akhe WORD ayenyanzeliswa inyanga nenyanga, kwaye ngelixa lalingekho ixesha lokwenza isigama esichanekileyo nesichanekileyo, amanqaku akhe kwakufuneka asebenzise amagama angasebenziyo asele eprintiwe. Amagama asesandleni sakhe awenzanga mahluko phakathi kwendalo kunye necala elinengqondo. "Umoya" kunye "nokomoya" kwakusetyenziswa njengoko kusebenza kwi-Triune Self okanye kwindalo, nangona umoya, watsho, ligama elinokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kwindalo kuphela. Igama elithi "psychic" lalisetyenziselwa ukubhekisa kwindalo nakwi-Triune Self, kwaye ke yenza ukuba ukwahluka kweentsingiselo zalo ezahlukeneyo kube nzima. Iiplanethi ezinjengefom, ubomi kunye neenqwelomoya ezikhanyayo ekubhekiswa kuzo kumcimbi owaziyo njengendalo, kuba azikho iinqwelomoya kwicala elinengqondo.

Xa wayeyalela le ncwadi kwaye enethuba ebekade enalo, wenza isigama esamkela amagama asetyenziswayo, kodwa anokucebisa ukuba wayefuna ntoni xa ebanika intsingiselo ethile. Uthe "Zama ukuqonda ukuba lithetha ntoni eli gama, musa ukunamathela kwigama".

Uye wayibiza ke into yendalo kwindiza ebonakalayo, imo eqaqambileyo, enomoya, enamanzi kunye neyomeleleyo yemicimbi. Iinqwelomoya ezingabonakaliyo zelizwe elibonakalayo wazithiya ubume, ubomi kunye neenqwelomoya ezikhanyayo, kwaye nakwimihlaba engaphezulu kwelizwe elibonakalayo wanika amagama ehlabathi lehlabathi, umhlaba wobomi kunye nelizwe elikhanyayo. Zonke zendalo. Kodwa izidanga apho umba okrelekrele uyazi njenge-Triune Self wayibiza ngokuba ziindawo zengqondo, zengqondo kunye nezokuzibamba ze-Triune Self. Wazibiza iinkalo zenxalenye yengqondo ukuziva kunye nomnqweno, ongumenzi ongafiyo; ezo zenxalenye yengqondo zichanekile kunye nokuqiqa, okukucinga okungafiyo; kunye nezo ndawo zenoveli ukuzazi kunye nokuzithemba, okwaziyo ukungafi; xa zizonke zenza isiqu seThathu. Kuzo zonke iimeko unike iinkcazo okanye inkcazo xa amagama esetyenziswe nguye anentsingiselo ethile.

Ekuphela kwegama awaliqokeleleyo ligama elithi aia, kuba akukho lizwi kulo naluphi na ulwimi malunga nezinto ezibonisa zona. Amagama athi i-pyrogen, ukukhanya kweenkwenkwezi, i-aerogen, ukukhanya kwelanga, i-fluogen yokukhanya kwenyanga, kunye ne-geogen yokukhanya komhlaba, kwinxalenye ye-pre-chemistry iyazichaza.

Incwadi yakhe iqhubeka ukusuka kwiingxelo ezilula ukuya kwiinkcukacha. Ngaphambili umenzi kwakuthethwa ngaye njengomntu okwimo yomzimba. Emva kwexesha wabonisa ukuba eyona nto yenzekayo kukuphinda ubekhona yinxalenye yomenzi ngokudibanisa ne-nerves yokuzithandela kunye negazi, kwaye loo nto inxulumene nenxalenye ye-thinker kwaye nenxalenye eyaziwayo ye-Triune Self. Ngaphambili iingqondo zazikhankanywa ngokubanzi. Emva kwexesha kwaboniswa ukuba zintathu kuphela iingqondo ezisixhenxe ezinokusetyenziswa yimvakalelo kunye nomnqweno, ezizezi ingqondo yomzimba, ingqondo yengqondo kunye nengqondo yomnqweno, kunye nokuKhanya okuza ngezinye ezimbini ukuya engqondweni yomzimba , kuko konke ukusetyenziswa kwamadoda ekuveliseni iingcinga eziye zakha le mpucuko.

Uthethe ngendlela entsha yezifundo ezininzi, phakathi kwazo inguLwazi, kwisahluko sesibini; Imali, kwisahluko sesihlanu; Ukungcangcazela, Imibala, ukulamla, ukuLungiswa kwezinto, kunye nokuvumisa ngeenkwenkwezi, kwisahluko sesithandathu, nalapho kukho ngeThemba, uvuyo, ukuthembela kunye nokulula; Izifo kunye nokunyanga kwazo, kwisahluko sesixhenxe.

Uthe izinto ezintsha malunga neZinto ezingabonakaliyo kunye nezoBonakalisiweyo, iiHlabathi kunye neeplanethi; Yinyani, inkohliso kunye noGlamour; Iimpawu zeJometri; Isithuba Ixesha; Imilinganiselo; Iiyunithi; Ubukrelekrele; Isiqu sikaBathathu Emnye; Ubuxoki I; UkuCinga nokuCinga; Ukuziva unqwenela; Imemori; Isazela; Amazwe emva kokufa; Indlela eNkulu; Izazi; I-Aia kunye neFom-Breath-Form; Iimpawu ezine; Umzimba ophindwe kane; Ukuphefumla; Phinda ubekhona; Imvelaphi yesini; iinyanga eziLunar nezeSolar; Inkolo yamaKrestu; Oothixo; Imijikelo yeeNkolo; Iiklasi ezine; Iintsomi; Izikolo zokucinga; Ilanga, iNyanga neenkwenkwezi; Amacwecwe amane omhlaba; Umlilo, Umoya, Amanzi kunye namaXesha oMhlaba. Uthe izinto ezintsha malunga nezifundo ezininzi kakhulu ukuba zingathethwa. Ubukhulu becala wathetha ngokuKhanya okuQaphelayo koBukrelekrele, okuyinyani.

Iingxelo zakhe zazisengqiqweni. Bacacisa bodwa. Kuyo nayiphi na i-engile ebonwayo, iinyani ezithile ziyafana okanye ziyangqinwa ngabanye okanye zixhaswe ngembalelwano. Umyalelo oqinisekileyo ubambe konke awakuthethayo kunye. Inkqubo yakhe igqibelele, ilula, ichanekile. Iyakwazi ukuboniswa ngeseti yeesimboli ezilula esekwe kumanqaku alishumi elinambini esangqa. Iinyani zakhe zichazwe ngokufutshane nangokucacileyo ziyahambelana. Ukungaguquguquki kwezinto ezininzi awazithethayo ngaphakathi kwekhampasi enkulu yendalo kunye nenani elikhulu kakhulu lezinto ngaphakathi kuluhlu olumxinwa olunxulumene nomenzi womntu, kuyaqinisekisa.

Le ncwadi, utshilo, ibaluleke kakhulu kuye nabani na onqwenela ukuzazi njengo-Triune Selves, ukwahlula imvakalelo kwindalo, ukuguqula yonke iminqweno ibe ngumnqweno wokuzazi, ukuze ube nolwazi ngoLwazi, kwabo bafuna ukulungelelanisa iingcinga zabo kunye nabo bafuna ukucinga ngaphandle kokwenza iingcinga. Ininzi kakhulu into eya kuthi inomdla kumfundi ophakathi. Nje ukuba afunde oku uya kubona ubomi njengomdlalo odlalwa ngendalo kunye nomenzi wakhe ngezithunzi zeengcinga. Iingcinga zizinto eziyinyani, izithunzi ziingqikelelo zabo kwizenzo, izinto kunye neziganeko zobomi. Imigaqo yomdlalo? Umthetho wengcinga, njengekamva. Indalo iya kudlala ixesha elide njengoko umenzi eya kwenza. Kodwa kuza ixesha xa umenzi efuna ukuyeka, xa uvakalelo kunye nomnqweno ufikelele kwinqanaba lokugcwala, njengoko uPercival eyibiza kwisahluko seshumi elinanye.
