Kodi akufa amakhala m'mabanja, m'midzi, ndipo ngati pali boma?

Iwo omwe achoka m'moyo uno amapuma nthawi yayitali kapena yaifupi, malinga ndi zosowa zawo. Kenako amapitilizabe kukhala pambuyo pa moyo pambuyo pa moyo wawo padziko lapansi. Koma pali kusiyana uku, kuti moyo wapadziko lapansi udafunikira mfundo zonse zofunikira za munthu kuti akhalepo mdziko lino lapansi, dziko lomaliza limangofuna galimoto yoyenera ndege yomwe malingaliro, ulo, umagwira.

Kodi munthu amakhala ndi banja lake kapena gulu padziko lapansi monga momwe angafunire, zidzakhalanso zolakalaka zake kupitiliza moyo wamtunduwu pambuyo pa imfa. Ngati akufuna kukhala yekha, kapena moyo wodzipereka kapena kuphunzira, ndiye kuti sangakonde kukhala ndi ena; koma m'malo awiriwo, molingana ndi chomwe chinali chikhumbo chake m'moyo wakuthupi, momwemonso chikhumbo chake chidzapitilira pambuyo pa imfa.

Pambuyo pa kufa, munthu, umunthu, malingaliro, umapitilirabe ndi mphamvu zake zonse, koma kuchepetsa thupi ndi mawonekedwe a thupi lanyama. Kulikonse komwe lingaliro ndi chidwi chake zikagona pamenepo. Ngati, malingaliro, olekanitsidwa ndi dziko ndi kulekanitsidwa ndi thupi lake, njira yolankhulirana ndi kulumikizana ndi dziko yakuthupi imadulidwa ndipo mwamunayo sangakhale ndi matupi achibanja kapena gulu lomwe amakhala lingaliro lake. Ngati, komabe, lingaliro lake la banja kapena dera lingakhale lamphamvu akadakhala kuti amalingalira nawo kapena kuwagwira m'malingaliro ake monga momwe wina angaganizire ndi banja lake kapena abwenzi akakhala kudzikoli ngakhale akukhala kutali dziko. Sangakhale ndi malingaliro atsopano, kapena kupeza zokhudzana ndi banja kapena mudzi atamwalira, kapena kukhala za iwo kudziwa tsogolo lawo, monga nthawi zina zimaganiziridwira molakwika. Pambuyo pa kufa munthu amakhala m'malingaliro omwe anali nawo pomwe anali ndi moyo wakuthupi. Amaganiziranso zomwe anali kuganiza m'moyo wake.

Pali dziko lamalingaliro, lomwe lili pambuyo pa dziko lonse lapansi lomwe munthu amakhala momwemo ngakhale ali mthupi, chifukwa dziko lapansi liri kwa iye momwe akumasulira mu lingaliro lake. Koma pali dziko lina lomwe liri pakati pa dziko lapansi lamalingaliro ndi dziko lapansi lomwe ndilo dziko lokhumba (kama loca). Mdziko lokhumbira muli zokhumba ndi zilakolako zazikulu za munthu. Kotero kuti pambuyo pa imfa pali thupi lokhumba la munthu lomwe munthu, malingaliro, ayenera kudzimasula yekha ngati ati adzakhale ndi nthawi ya chisangalalo kapena kupumula pambuyo pa imfa. Nthawi zambiri, munthu, malingaliro, amakhala kapolo wa thupi lakhumbo lalikulu, momwemo amatha kupita kumalo a banja lake kapena mdera lake. Zikatero, komabe, malingaliro angawonekere kuti apatsidwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo kapena aledzera. Chikhumbo chimakhala chachikulu. Kuwonekera koteroko kumachitanso chimodzimodzi ndi munthu yemwe amamwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Komabe, chilakolakocho chimaonekera monga momwe chidakwa chimasonyezera chikhumbo chake. Ndi m'mayendedwe ochepa okha omwe matupi azilakalaka ndi omwe amakhala ndi malingaliro. Momwe malingaliro amalingalira za moyo wabanja kapena moyo wam'magulu ngati abwino mdziko lake lenileni, momwemonso malingaliro omwewo amakhala ndi banja kapena moyo wam'magulu mdziko labwino loganiza pambuyo poti wamwalira. Koma pomwe mdziko lapansi lakuthupi moyo wabwino udawoneka ngati wamdima komanso wosamveka bwino ndipo moyo weniweniwo ndiwowonadi, koma tsopano zinthu zasinthidwa; dziko loyenera ndi lenileni ndipo zakuthupi zasowa kwathunthu kapena zimangokhala zopanda umboni.

Inde, pali boma m'boma litamwalira. Iliyonse ya mayiko pambuyo pa imfa ili ndi boma lawolawo ndipo malamulo adziko lililonse amalilamulira. Lamulo la dziko lakukhumba limawonetsedwa ndi dzina lake: chikhumbo. Dziko labwino limayendetsedwa ndi malingaliro. Boma lililonse limalamuliridwa lokha ndi chikhumbo, kapena lingaliro labwino, lirilonse molingana ndi chikhalidwe chake, ndi onse molingana ndi chilungamo.

Kodi pali chilango kapena mphotho chifukwa cha ntchito zomwe akufa, kaya ali m'moyo kapena pambuyo pa imfa?

Inde, ndipo chochita chilichonse chimabweretsa zotsatira zake, malinga ndi zomwechitazo komanso mogwirizana ndi cholinga ndi lingaliro lomwe lidawunikira kuchitapo kanthu. Ambiri omwe amachita mdziko lino lapansi amachita mosazindikira, ngakhale kuti izi zimabweretsa mphotho kapena chilango. Yemwe amakoka mfuti yake yomwe samadziwa kuti yanyamula ndikugwedeza chala chake, kapena dzanja la mnzake, amavutika kwambiri mwakuthupi monga kuti adawombera ndi cholinga chovulala. Chilango chakuthupi ndi chimodzimodzi. Koma samva kulangidwa m'mutu komwe kudakhala kudzanong'oneza bondo, komwe angamve kupweteka akanangodziwa zomwe zingachitike.

Izi zikugwirizana ndi funsoli pomwe mukukhala mdziko lapansi. Koma pali mbali inanso yomwe ili pambuyo pa imfa. Omwe ali ndi chiyembekezo pambuyo poti amwalira amachita zinthu zoyambitsa zotsatirazi. Dzikoli ndi dziko la zoyambitsa komanso zoyambitsa, koma zotsatirazi ndi zotsatira zake. Thupi lakukhumba limapitilizabe kuchita pambuyo pa imfa molingana ndi kulimbikitsidwa komwe kumaloledwa panthawi ya moyo. Chifukwa chake, ntchito zomwe zimachitika ndi bungwe la astral, kapena ngakhale ndi malingaliro m'dziko lake labwino, ndizotsatira, osati zoyambitsa. Izi ndi zotulukapo monga mphotho kapena chilango chifukwa cha ntchito zochitidwa mdziko lanyama. Koma izi sizipindulitsa kapena kuwalanga.

Mawu oti "mphotho" ndi "chilango" ndi mawu achipembedzo. Ali ndi tanthauzo lake komanso kudzikonda. Kaya mu izi kapena m'dziko lina lililonse, lamulo lenileni limamasulira chilango kutanthauza phunziro lomwe limaperekedwa kwa wochita zolakwika. Mphotho ndiye phunziro lomwe limaperekedwa kwa wochita zoyenera. Phunziro lomwe latchedwa kulangidwa limaperekedwa kwa wochita wophunzitsayo kuti asamuphunzitsenso kuti asachite zoyipa. Mphotho imaphunzitsira zotsatira zoyenera kuchita.

Munthu akamwalira, thupi lokhala ndi vuto limafanana ndi munthu wamphamvu, pomwe alibe ndalama kapena mwayi wokwaniritsa chilakolako chake. Thupi lakuthupi ndi lingaliro lomwe limakhutitsa chilakolako cha thupi. Thupi lakhumbo litalandidwa kapena kudulidwa thupi lake litamwalira, zilakolako zimakhalabe, koma alibe njira zowakhutiritsira. Ndicholinga choti zikhumbo zake zikhale zowonjezereka komanso kukhutitsidwa kwakuthupi kuli ndi imfa pambuyo panjala yolakalaka, kapena kuyaka kwa chikhumbo, koma popanda njira yokhutsira kapena kusangalatsa. Koma malingaliro omwe malingaliro awo anali apamwamba, amakumana ndi chisangalalo chonse pakupezeka kukwaniritsidwa kwa malingaliro awa, chifukwa ndi m'dziko momwe malingaliro ali.

Momwemo tili nawo pambuyo poti imfa imapereka chilango kapena mphotho, kapena kutchedwa moyenera, maphunziro a zoyenera ndi zosayenera, monga zotsatira za malingaliro, ntchito ndi machitidwe omwe adachitika akakhala mdziko lanyama.

Kodi akufa amadziŵa?

Ayi, sazindikira tanthauzo la mawuwo. Chidziwitso chonse chomwe malingaliro amapeza chimayenera kukhala chokhala ndi thupi lanyama mdziko lino lapansi. Apa ndipomwe pamafunika kupeza chidziwitso ngati chidziwitso chingapezeke. Pambuyo pakufa titha kudutsa munjira yokumba kapena kusenda, koma zinthu zokhazo zopezeka mdziko lino, momwemonso ng'ombe imatha kubzikula pomwe ili modyeramo ziweto, koma chokhacho chomwe idatenga nayo munda. Chifukwa chake akufa amakhala kale kapena kusenda zomwe zikukhumbazo, malingaliro, kapena malingaliro, omwe amapangitsa, amakula ndi kukongoletsa pamoyo. Chidziwitso chenicheni cha maiko onse chikuyenera kupezedwa mukakhala m'dziko lino lapansi. Bungwe silingathe kupeza pambuyo pa imfa zomwe silinadziwe nthawi ya moyo. Itha kukulitsa ndikukhalanso zomwe idadziwa m'moyo, koma sizitha kukhala ndi chidziwitso chatsopano ndikamwalira.

Kodi akufa amadziwa zomwe zikuchitika m'dziko lino?

Ena akhoza, ena sangathe. Zimatengera tanthauzo la mawu akuti “akufa.” Matupi olakalaka dziko lapansi ndiwo gulu lokhalo la magulu ambiri a “akufa” amene angadziŵe zimene zikuchitika m’dzikoli. Koma kenako angadziŵe zokhazo zimene zikuchitika chifukwa chakuti zimagwirizana ndi zilakolako ndi zilakolako zimene anakumana nazo m’moyo, ndipo zimene zikuchitika zikugwirizana nazo. Mwachitsanzo, chikhumbo cha chidakwa chimadziŵa kokha zimene zikuchitika m’dziko monga momwe zimakhudzira chikhumbo chake chakumwa ndipo ngakhale pamenepo kokha pamene apeza moyandikana ndi anthu oledzera. Amatha kupeza malo oyandikana nawo mwa kukopa kwachilengedwe kokonda, koma kuti amve zomwe zikuchitika ayenera kutero kudzera mu thupi la munthu wakumwa, zomwe angachite polowa ndikumuyang'ana yemwe wamwayo. Koma chikhumbo chokhumba cha chidakwa mwachidziŵikire sichikanadziŵa chimene chikuchitika m’ndale zadziko kapena m’mabuku kapena zaluso, ndiponso sichikanadziŵa kapena kumvetsa zopezedwa m’ zakuthambo kapena masamu. Momwe munthu aliyense amafunira chilengedwe chovomerezeka kwambiri padziko lapansi, matupi olakalaka amakopeka ndi malo omwe ali oyenera momwe amafunira.

Funso ndilakuti, kodi amatha kudziwa zomwe zinali kuchitika ngakhale m'deralo? Thupi lakukhumba wamba silimakhoza, popeza lilibe ziwalo zanyama zomwe limatha kuwona zinthu zathupi. Itha kumverera chikhumbo ndikuyandikira pafupi ndi zomwe mawuwo ukunena, koma sichitha kuwona chinthucho pokhapokha kulowa m'thupi laumunthu ndikugwiritsa ntchito ziwalo zowonera kapena mphamvu zina kulumikiza ndi dziko lanyama. Bwino, thupi lokhala ndi chidwi limatha kuwona zofanana ndi zamatsenga zokhazokha.

Malingaliro omwe adasokoneza kulumikizana kwake ndi thupi ndikupita kudziko lapansi labwino sangadziwe zomwe zikuchitika mthupi lanyama. Dziko lake labwino ndi kumwamba kwake. Zakumwamba izi kapena dziko labwino kwambiri zikadasiya kukhala kuti zikadakhala kuti zinthu zonse zakudziko zadziwika. Zolinga zamtundu wapadziko lapansi zitha kudziwidwa ndi omwe adapita kudziko labwino, koma malingaliro awa ali ofanana, monga momwe akumveredwera ndi malingaliro mu nthawi yake yabwino.

Kodi mumafotokozera bwanji zifukwa zomwe akufa adawonekera m'maloto, kapena kwa anthu omwe anali maso, ndipo adalengeza kuti imfa ya anthu ena, makamaka mamembala ena a m'banja, anali pafupi?

Loto lomwe siliri chifukwa chakuthupi limachokera kudziko la astral kapena kudziko lamaganizidwe. Imfa ya munthu wolengezedwa m'maloto imangotanthauza kuti amene walengeza kuti amwalira akhazikitsa kale kapena anayambitsa zomwe zikubweretsa imfa yake, ndipo zomwe zimayambitsa zimawonetsedwa mdziko la astral. Pamenepo amatha kuwoneka ngati chithunzi; zochitika zonse zomwe zikubwera paimfa zitha kuonekanso ngati zifunidwa. Chifukwa chake maloto, akumwalira omwe amachitika, monga adalengezedwera, amawonekera kwa aliyense yemwe angakumane ndi zomwe zikupangika chithunzichi. Potengera pomwe wina awonekera m'malotowo zikutanthauza kuti mawonekedwe otere amatsogolera chidwi cha iye m'maloto ku imfa yomwe ikubwera. Izi zitha kuchitika pofuna kuyesa kufa, kapena kukonzekereratu, kapena monga chitsanzo chodziwika ndi omwe akukhudzidwa kwambiri.

Mfundo yomweyi ikadakhudzana ndi momwe akufa adawonekera ndikulengeza za kubweranso kwa wina kwa munthu amene anali maso, kupatula kuti maso amunthuyo amatha kutengeka ndi mawonekedwe, kapena malingaliro aumunthu afulumira kuwona mawonekedwe. Zifukwa zomwezi zingagwiritsidwenso ntchito. Koma kusiyana kungakhale kuti pomwe malingaliro amawona m'maloto momveka bwino kuposa kukhala ndi moyo, chifukwa chake zinthu zamagetsi siziyenera kukhala zazingwe, mawonekedwe ake amayenera kutchuliwa kwambiri komanso mphamvu zathupi kuti zizimvetsetsa kuti zizindikire. Akufa omwe adawonekera ndi thupi lakhumba lomwe limalumikizidwa kapena kuphatikizidwa mwanjira inayake ndi iye amene imfayo idalengeza. Koma anthu onse olengezedwa kuti adzafe samamwalira nthawi zonse monga alengezedwera. Izi zikutanthauza kuti (pomwe munthuyo sanasokeretsedwe ndi nthano chabe) kuti zomwe zimayambitsa kufa sizinachotserepo, koma kuti imfa imatsata pokhapokha ngati maercercause akhazikitsidwa kuti athane nayo. Ngati chochita choyenera chitachitika imfa imatha kupewedwa.

Kodi akufa amakopeka ndi mamembala a banja lawo akadali padziko lapansi, ndipo amawayang'anitsitsa; akunena mayi wochoka pa ana ake aang'ono?

Ndizotheka kuti m'modzi mwa iwo omwe achita banjalo atha kukopeka ndi wina kapena banja ngati pali chikhumbo chosakwaniritsidwa chomwe chinali champhamvu pamoyo. Monga, mwachitsanzo, wina amene amafuna kugulitsa chinthu china kwa iye chomwe anali nacho pamoyo wonse mwachinyengo. Malingaliro akaperekedwa, kapena yemwe ali ndi ufulu akhale nacho, chikhumbocho chidzakwaniritsidwa ndipo malingaliro amasulidwa ku zomangira zomwe adasunga. Pankhani ya mayi kuyang'anira ana ake, izi ndizotheka pokhapokha lingaliro likakhala lamphamvu kwambiri pa moyo komanso mphindi zakumwalira kuti agwirizire malingaliro a amayi pazikhalidwe za ana awo. Koma izi ziyenera kumasulidwa kuti mayi amasulidwe ndipo ana athe kuloledwa kukwaniritsa zomwe iwo adapanga kale. Atapita kudziko lapansi labwino kwambiri kapena kumwamba, amayi omwe adamwalirowo akuganizirabe ana omwe amawakonda. Koma lingaliro lake la ana silingasokonezedwe momwe iye amakhalira, momwemonso boma silingakhale labwino. Ngati ana akuvutika sangadziwe izi popanda kuzunzika, ndipo kuvutika sikupezeka m'malo abwino. Kuvutika kumakhala gawo la maphunziro ndi zokuchitikira m'moyo momwe malingaliro omwe akuvutika amatenga chidziwitso ndikuphunzira momwe angakhalire ndikuganiza ndikuchita. Zomwe zimachitika ndikuti mayi, poganiza kuti ana omwe amawakonda, atha kuwakhudza poganiza. Sangawayang'anire mu thanzi lawo, koma atha kutengera malingaliro ake apamwamba kuti awauze izi pamene malingaliro awo ndi miyoyo yawo ithe. Mwanjira imeneyi sikuti ana a makolo okha ndi omwe angathandizidwe ndi omwe adachoka, omwe ali padziko lapansi labwino kapena kumwamba, koma abwenzi onse omwe adachoka akhoza kuthandiza omwe akukhala mdziko lino lapansi ngati malingaliro a omwe adamwalira ali apamwamba komanso olemekezeka panthawi yawo kulumikizana ndi kucheza mu moyo wakuthupi.

Mudziko la akufa kodi pali dzuwa lomwelo ndi mwezi ndi nyenyezi monga momwe ziliri mdziko lathu?

Ayi, ayi. Dzuwa ndi mwezi ndi nyenyezi zimanenedwa kuti ndi matupi aumunthu m'chilengedwe chakuthupi. Momwemo sizingakhale, kapena kuwonekeranso motero, pambuyo pa imfa; chifukwa ngakhale lingaliro laiwo litha kunyamulidwa pambuyo pa imfa lingaliro lingakhale losiyana ndi zinthuzo. Katswiri wa zakuthambo yemwe lingaliro lake lidatengedwa kwathunthu ndi kuphunzira kwake akadali ndi moyo, atatha kufa akadali wotanganidwa ndi nkhani yake, komabe samawona mwezi ndi nyenyezi, koma malingaliro ake kapena malingaliro aiwo. Dzuwa ndi mwezi ndi nyenyezi zimapereka zolengedwa padziko lapansi mitundu itatu ya kuwala kosiyanasiyana kwamphamvu. Kuwala kwa dziko lathupi lathu ndi dzuwa. Popanda dzuwa tili mumdima. Pambuyo pa kufa malingaliro ndi kuunika komwe kumawunikira mayiko ena onse monga momwe kumawunikiranso zinthu zathupi. Koma malingaliro kapena maonekedwe akasiya thupi lake lanyama matupi ake amakhala mumdima ndi imfa. Malingaliro akadzilekanitsa ndi thupi lakulakalaka, thupilo limakhalanso mumdima ndipo liyeneranso kufa. Malingaliro akakhala m'malo abwino amawunikira malingaliro osazindikira ndi malingaliro amoyo. Koma dzuwa lakuthupi, kapena mwezi, kapena nyenyezi, sizitha kuwalitsa chilichonse pambuyo pa imfa.

Kodi n'zotheka kuti akufa akhudze anthu amoyo popanda kudziwa za amoyo, powauza maganizo kapena zochita?

Inde, ndizotheka ndipo zimachitika kawiri kawiri kuti zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhumbo zake zikhale zamphamvu komanso zomwe moyo wawo udadulidwa uli ndi kupezeka kwawo kulimbikitsa anthu omwe ali ndi chiwopsezo, kuchita zolakwa zomwe sakanachita popanda iwo. Izi sizitanthauza kuti chochitikacho chimachitika chifukwa cha munthu wokhulupirikayo, kapena kutanthauza kuti wosalakwa ndi amene wapalamula mlanduwo. Zimangotanthauza kuti bungwe lomwe lidayambitsidwa limafunafuna kapena kukopeka ndi amene angatengeke. Omwe angakopeke kwambiri ayenera kukhala sing'anga wopanda malingaliro apamwamba kapena kulimba kwakhalidwe, kapena wina aliyense amene malingaliro ake ali ofanana ndi omwe amusangalatsa. Izi ndizotheka ndipo nthawi zambiri zimachitika popanda kudziwa yemwe wakhudzidwa. Momwemonso ndizotheka kuti malingaliro, omwe ali amtundu wapamwamba, kuti athe kuwuziridwa ena, koma mwanjira imeneyi sikofunikira kupita kwa akufa kuti mukaganize, chifukwa malingaliro a amoyo ali ndi mphamvu zambiri komanso mphamvu kuposa malingaliro wa akufa.
