Kodi Theosophist amakhulupirira zamatsenga? adafunsidwa mmodzi wa phwando la abwenzi kalekale.
Theosophist amavomereza mfundo zonse, ndipo sataya konse chifukwa chake. Koma Theosophist samayima ndi kupumula okhutira ndi chowonadi; amayesetsa kuti afufuze kuchokera komwe adayambira ndikuwona zotsatira zake. Kukhulupirira malodza ndiko kukhulupirira kapena kuchita chinthu china popanda kudziwa chifukwa chake. Mwakuwonekerako, malodza ndi kuvomereza kwa malingaliro kuti kulumikizidwe kapena chizolowezi chokhudzana ndi zochitika zina popanda chifukwa china chokhulupirira. Zikhulupiriro zamtundu wa anthu ndizomwe zimawonetsa pang'ono nzeru zomwe zayiwalika. Chidziwitso chapita, ndipo omwe anali ndi chidziwitso, anthu amapitiliza machitidwe a mitundu; ndipo motero mawonekedwe ndi zikhulupiriro zimaperekedwa mwa miyambo kuchokera ku kam'badwo kupita ku kam'badwo. Akayamba kuchoka pachidziwitso amadziphatika pafupi kwambiri ndi zikhulupiriro zawo ndipo mwina amakhala otengeka. Mchitidwe wopanda chidziwitso ndi malodza. Pitani m'matchalitchi mu mzinda waukulu Lamlungu m'mawa. Onani miyambo yachipembedzo; yang'anani kudutsa kwa oyang'anira; zindikirani udindo wa omwe akuchita ntchitoyi; onani zifanizo, zokongoletsera zopatulika, zida, ndi zizindikilo; mverani kubwereza ndi kachitidwe kogwirira ku chiyani? Kodi titha kuimba mlandu munthu wosadziwika ndi izi zonse chifukwa chotcha zamatsenga, ndikunena kuti ndife anthu okhulupirira zamatsenga? Chifukwa chake timakonda kuona zikhulupiriro za ena zomwe sizokhulupirira mizimu kuposa anthu athu. Zikhulupiriro za anthu omwe timawatcha "osazindikira" komanso "osakhulupirira," ziyenera kuti zinali zoyambira. Iwo amene angadziwe ayenera kutsatira miyambo kapena zikhulupiriro zabodza kuchokera komwe zidachokera. Akachita izi adzakhala ndi chidziwitso, chomwe ndi chosemphana ndi mawonekedwe ake osazindikira, matsenga. Kuwerenga mopanda tsankho kwa zikhulupiriro zamunthu kumavumbula chinyengo chamunthu chamunthu. Pitilizani phunzirolo ndipo lidzatsogolera ku kudzidziwa nokha.
Kodi pali zikhulupiriro zabodza ziti kuti munthu wobadwa ndi “kolulu” amatha kukhala ndi mphamvu zamatsenga kapena zamatsenga?
Chikhulupiriro ichi chimatsika kudutsa mibadwo kuyambira kale, pomwe umunthu umagonana ndi zolengedwa mkati ndi kuzungulira dziko lapansi. Kenako kuwona kwa munthu, kumva ndi zamatsenga zina zamkati, kudasinthidwa ndikukula ndikukhala ndi moyo wabwino komanso wazinthu zakuthupi. Palibe gawo la thupi la munthu lomwe silikugwirizana ndi mphamvu inayake ndi mphamvu imodzi kapena zingapo zosaoneka zachilengedwe. Zomwe zimatchedwa "koloni" zimakhudzana ndi dziko la astral. Ngati, munthu akabadwa kudziko lanyama, koluluyo imakhalabe ndi iye imagwiritsa ntchito kapena kusangalatsa thupi la astral ndikulakalaka kwina ndikukukakamira kudziko lamatsenga. M'moyo wam'tsogolo izi zitha kugonjetsedwa, koma sizimatha konse, monga linga sharira, thupi lodziwika bwino, limalumikizidwa kuti lizilandira chidwi kuchokera ku kuwala kwa astral. Chikhulupiriro chomwe anthu akunyanja amayenda ndi chinthuchi, ngati tanthauzo la "zabwino zonse" kapena ngati chinthu chosateteza kuti chisamire, zimachitika chifukwa choti chinali chitetezo cha mluza kuchokera kuzinthu zoyipa m'mbuyomu. Dziko lapansi, kotero likhoza kuteteza dziko lapansi mwakuthupi lomwe lingafanane ndi kuopsa kwa madzi komwe kumayenderana ndi kuunika kwa astral komanso zinthu zomwe, ngakhale zimatchedwa kuti zenizeni, sizinthu zamatsenga pang'ono komanso zomwe zimachokera ku dziko lazakale.
Ngati lingaliro lingaperekedwe ku malingaliro a wina, chifukwa chiyani izi sizikuchitidwa molondola komanso ndi nzeru zambiri monga kukambirana kumeneku?
Sichichitidwa chifukwa sitimalankhula mu malingaliro; kapena sitinaphunzire chilankhulo. Komabe, malingaliro athu amasamutsidwa m'malingaliro a ena nthawi zambiri kuposa momwe timaganizira, ngakhale sizichitika mwanzeru momwe tikanayankhulira chifukwa sitinakakamizidwe kulumikizana wina ndi mnzake kudzera mu lingaliro lokha, komanso, chifukwa ife sizitenga vuto kuti iphunzitse malingaliro ndi malingaliro kuti achite izo. Wobadwa mwa anthu otchuka amasamaliridwa, kuphunzitsidwa, kulangizidwa ndi kuphunzitsidwa njira za makolo kapena bwalo lomwe iye amabadwiramo. Imani koma kuti muganize, ndipo nthawi yomweyo ziziwoneka kuti zimafunikira kuleza mtima kwa zaka zambiri mphunzitsi ndi kuyesetsa kulimbikira kwa wophunzirayo kuti aphunzire maluso olankhula ndi kuwerenga ndi kulemba chilankhulo, ndikuphunzira zizolowezi, miyambo ndi njira zamaganizidwe chilankhulo chimenecho. Ngati pamafunika kuchita khama ndi maphunziro mdziko lino lanyama kuti aphunzire chilankhulo chimodzi, sizodabwitsa kuti anthu ochepa amatha kusinthira malingaliro molondola popanda kugwiritsa ntchito mawu. Palibenso zamatsenga kusamutsa lingaliro popanda mawu kuposa kusintha mawu mwakugwiritsa ntchito mawu. Kusiyana ndikuti taphunzira momwe tingachitire m'dziko la zolankhula, komabe timakhala osazindikira ngati ana osalankhula m'dziko la malingaliro. Kusintha kwa lingaliro ndi mawu kumafuna zinthu ziwiri: iye amene amalankhula, ndi amene akumvera; kufala ndi zotsatira zake. Izi tikudziwa momwe tingachitire, koma njira yeniyeni yomwe timalankhulira ndi kuwamvetsetsa imakhala yamatsenga kwa ife monga kusintha kwa malingaliro popanda mawu. Sitikudziwa momwe ziwalo zosiyanasiyana za thupi zimagwirira ntchito kuti apange mawuwo; sitikudziwa momwe mawu omwe amamvekawa amaperekedwera kudzera munjira; sitikudziwa momwe mawuwa amalandiridwira ndi tympanum ndi mitsempha yomvekera; kapena ndi njira yotani yomwe imamasuliridwa kwa wanzeru mkati mwake yemwe amamvetsetsa lingaliro lomwe limveketsa mawu. Koma tikudziwa kuti zonsezi zachitika, ndipo timamvetseka wina ndi mnzake mwanjira ina yotere.
Kodi tili ndi chirichonse chomwe chiri chofanana ndi njira yopitiliza kuganiza?
Inde. Njira zama telegraphic ndi zojambula ndizofanana kwambiri ndi kutumiza kwa malingaliro. Payenera kukhala wothandizirapo amene amafalitsa uthenga wake, payenera kukhala wolandira amene akumvetsa. Chifukwa chake payenera kukhala anthu awiri omwe ali olangika, ophunzitsidwa kapena ophunzitsidwa kufalitsa ndikulandila malingaliro a wina ndi mnzake ngati angachite mwanzeru komanso molondola chimodzimodzi momwe kulumikizana kwanzeru kumachitidwira, monganso anthu awiri ayenera kulankhula chilankhulo chimodzi ngati angayankhule. Amati anthu ambiri amatha kuchita izi, koma amachita kokha m'njira yopanda nzeru, chifukwa salola kugonjera malingaliro kupita ku maphunziro okhwima a maphunziro. Kuphunzitsa kwamalingaliro kumeneku kuyenera kukhala koyenera, ndi kuchitidwa chisamaliro chochuluka, monga moyo wa wophunzirayo pasukulu yophunzitsidwa bwino.
Kodi tingakambirane bwanji ndi malingaliro mwanzeru?
Ngati wina ayang'anitsitsa malingaliro ake ndi malingaliro a ena, adzazindikira kuti malingaliro ake amaperekedwa kwa ena mwa njira yodabwitsa. Yemwe angayankhule mosaganizira osagwiritsa ntchito mawu ayenera kuphunzira kuwongolera ntchito za malingaliro ake. Momwe ntchito zama malingaliro zimayendetsedwa, ndipo wina amatha kugwirizira malingaliro pamutu uliwonse, zidzadziwika kuti malingaliro amatsatira mawonekedwe, amatenga mawonekedwe ndi mawonekedwe a mutu womwe ukuwunikiridwa, komanso imapereka lingaliro ili kapena lingaliro ku chinthu chomwe chatunjikiracho, mwakufuna kwanu. Ngati izi zichitidwa moyenera, munthu amene lingaliro lakuloledwera, alilandira. Ngati sichingachitike moyenera padzakhala chithunzi chosadziwika bwino chofuna kudziwa. Ponena zowerengera kapena kudziwa malingaliro, ntchito za malingaliro ziyeneranso kuyang'aniridwa ngati lingaliro la wina lingalandiridwe ndikumvetsedwa. Izi zimachitika mwanjira yomwe munthu wanzeru amvera mawu a mnzake. Kuti mumvetsetse bwino munthu ayenera kumvetsera mwatcheru ndi mawu omwe akunenedwa. Kuti mumvere mwachidwi malingaliro ayenera kukhazikikabe momwe angathere. Ngati malingaliro osafunikira alowa m'mutu mwa womvetsera chidwi chachikulu sichimamuperekedwa, ndipo mawuwo, ngakhale amveke, samveka. Ngati munthu angawerenga lingaliro la linzake malingaliro ake ayenera kukhala osatalikirana kuti lingaliro lakelo lithe kusungidwa bwino komanso momveka bwino. Ndipo ngati lingaliro lomveka bwino komanso losiyana sikudzakhala kovuta mukumvetsetsa kwathu. Chifukwa chake tikuwona kuti malingaliro operekera lingaliro ndi malingaliro a wolandila lingaliro ayenera onse kukhala ophunzitsidwa kuchita, ngati kusuntha kwa malingaliro kuyenera kuchitidwa moyenera komanso mwaluntha.
Kodi ndi bwino kuwerenga maganizo a ena ngati akufuna kapena ayi?
Ayi ndithu. Kuchita zimenezi n’kusakhululukidwa komanso kusaona mtima monga momwe zimakhalira kulowa m’phunziro la munthu wina ndikumusakaza ndi kuwerenga mapepala ake achinsinsi. Nthawi zonse wina akatumiza lingaliro limasindikizidwa ndi umunthu wa wotumiza ndipo limakhala ndi chidwi kapena siginecha. Ngati lingaliro liri la chikhalidwe chakuti wotumizayo sakufuna kuti lidziwike, kugometsa kapena kusaina kwa wotumizayo kumaika chizindikiro mofanana ndi momwe timalembera mu envulopu kuti "yachinsinsi" kapena "yaumwini." Izi zimapangitsa kuti zisawonekere kwa wolowerera yemwe angakhale wosakhulupirika pokhapokha ngati lingalirolo liri lotayirira m'mapangidwe ake ndipo likugwirizana ndi wolowerera. Ndi wamatsenga weniweni, lingaliro loterolo silingawerengedwe kapena kusokonezedwa. Pakadapanda chotchinga ichi onse omwe angakhale aphunzitsi amphamvu zamatsenga atha kukhala mamiliyoni ambiri usiku wonse, ndipo, mwina, akanathetsa kufunikira kopeza ndalama paphunziro lililonse kapena kukhala. Iwo angasokoneze msika wa masheya, kupanga chikhulupiriro chamatsenga ndi misika ya padziko lapansi, kenaka amaukirana ndi kutha panthaŵi yake, monga ngati “amphaka a Kilkenny.”
