Mweya Wechido Wavanhu Vakafa

KUNYAKA chido miviri inogona panguva imwe chete ichifudza mumhepo kana nemuviri wemunhu mumwe chete mupenyu. Zvisikwa zvemweya kuti kudya kunogona kunge kwakafanana kana kwakasiyana. Kana vaviri vachida zvipo zvemashoko akafanana zviri kudya kune mumwe murume, kuchava nechimwe chetatu mweya, iyo ichapawo zvokudya, nokuti kuchave nekupesana pakati pezviviri kuti ndeupi wavo anofanira kuva nemurume, uye simba repfungwa rinogadzirwa se mugumisiro wekukakavara kunokwezva uye kunopa chido mafungiro evarume vakafa avo vanofarira kukakavadzana.

Pamusoro pekuchiva mweya yevakafa vanorwisana nenhaka yemuviri wevanhu vapenyu, avo vanoda mweya unesimba huchatora uye huve nehuyo kana huratidzira simba uye simba rekumutungamirira. Apo chishuwo mweya dzevakafa dzisingakwanisi kumanikidzira pane zvingangodaro zvinopa zvavanoda kuburikidza nezvido zvavo zvepanyama, vanoedza dzimwe nzira dzavanokwanisa kubudirira. Vanoedza kumukurudzira kushandisa zvinodhaka kana doro. Kana vachigona kumuita kuti ave mishonga yekushandisa zvinodhaka kana doro, ivo vanogona kukwanisa kumudhaira kuti awedzere, kupa zvaanoda.

Mutumbi uye mamiriro ekudhakwa kana kuti zvinodhaka zvinopa chikepe kune vakawanda vanoda chipo chevarume vakafa, uye vazhinji vanogona panguva imwechete kana kuti vanopfuurira mberi kana kuti kuburikidza nemunhu anenge avhiringidzika. Iro doro rinopa zvokudya apo murume wacho anodhakwa. Paanenge akadhakwa murume achaita nyore nyore zvinhu izvo zvisinganzwisisiki zvaaisazoita. Kunyange zvazvo munhu akadhakwa chimwe chezvido zvakati wandei zvipo zvehutano zvinogona kumutengesa, mumabasa anoita kuti aite. Saka hutsinye hunhu hunoita mweya huchawana murume uyu, asi asina hanya, kutaura zvinhu zvine utsinye uye kuita utsinye.

Chido mweya yevakafa inogona kukurudzira kuipa kwevanhu vakavhiringidza uye kumumanikidza kuita zvechisimba. Hondo yaine nzara ine chido inofadza mweya wevanhu vakafa inogona kuendesa uyo anonwa mvura kuti arwe, kuitira kuti, iyo, mhumhi mweya, inogona kuwana hupenyu hwehupenyu hwehupenyu sezvo hunoyerera kubva pakurwa. Izvi zvinoreva kuchinja kwehupenyu hwevarume vakawanda vanodhakwa. Izvi zvinowedzera kuurawa kwakawanda. Munguva imwechete yekudhakwa munhu angave ane zvitatu zvakasiyana zvekuda zvipo zvinopfuudza kana kuburikidza naye.

Pane musiyano pakati pechidhakwa chinodha uye periodical drunkred. The periodical drunkred is one whose purpose is against alcohol and drunkenness, but who also has a desire for alcoholic drinks and some of the sensations which alcohols bring. Iyo inodhakwa chidhakwa ndeyeiye anenge ava pedyo, kana zvisingaiti, akarega kurwisana nemweya wewaini, uye ane unhu hwekunzwisisa uye unhu hwakanaka hunogadziriswa zvakakwana kuti amubvumire kuva dongo apo doro rinoshuva mweya kana mweya wevanhu vakafa izvo zvavanoda. Munhu anonwisa anoti, "Ini-ndinogona-kunwa-kana-kurega-iyo-ndoga-se-ini-ndinoona-yakakodzera," iri pakati pevarume vane tsika uye nguva. Uku kuzvidzora kwekunyanya kune uchapupu hwekusaziva chero bedzi paanonwa apo pane mutoro wekukamanikidzwa kuva umwe kana mumwe wemhando mbiri dzeanos, dzakapoteredza zvido zvemhepo, uye apo dzinonyaradza zvido zvavo zvisingadi.

Kunze kwechido chakasiyana nemweya yevanhu vakafa inobva kune imwe neimwe yemidzi miviri yechishuvo inonzi zita, zvepabonde, makaro, uye utsinye, pane zvimwe zvikamu zvakawanda zvezvipo, izvo zvichaona uye kuziva nzira yekubata nadzo paanonzwisisa mienzaniso iye zvino akapiwa, uye apo anonzwisisa kuti vanoita sei kune vanhu vanokonzera uye vanotambudzika nechishuvo chakadaro mweya yevakafa.

Hazvifanirwe kufungidzirwa kuti nekuda kwechido mweya yevakafa inodya vanhu vapenyu, kuti vanhu vapenyu vose vanopa chido mweya. Zvichida hapana munhu anorarama uyo asina kumbove achinzwa kuvapo kwechido chekufa, icho chaakakwezva uye chikafambisa kuburikidza nekutaurira hupenzi, hupombwe, kuora, godo, godo, ruvengo, kana zvimwe kuputika; asi chido chemweya yevanhu vakafa haigoni kuva mhuri, kana kufungidzira uye kufudza, vanhu vose vapenyu. Kuvapo kwechido chekuda kunogona kuzivikanwa nehutano hwehupenyu hwahwo hunounza.

Vamwe vamanikidzi vanoda chimiro chevarume vakafa. Chido mweya inopambwa pamusoro pehope sepamusoro pokumuka. Pamusoro (The Word, Gumiguru, 1913) yakataurwa nezvemampires, iyo inofadza mweya yevanhu vakafa, uye iyo inopambwa pamitumbi mhenyu muhope. Vampires kazhinji kacho yeboka rehutano. Vanozvipa ivo pachavo nekunyanya kweimwe chimiro chisingaoneki chavakakonzera kuti munhu akarara arasike. Kazhinji vanoswedera kune anorara anorota pasi pechifambiso chemunhu waunofambidzana naye. Asi chimiro chakanaka ndechokuti, shure kwezvose, kungovigwa kwechido chepabonde kune mweya kubva kune vakaipa uye vakaipa vakafa.

Kudzivirirwa kunogona kuve kune munhu akabatwa kana munhu wacho asingadi chaizvo chikamu chake semunda wekushandira kwekufa kwekufa. Kudzivirirwa kunoshandiswa nekuedza pakuva wakachena. Kushingaira hakufaniri kuva sham; zvinogona kunge zviri kuedza kushingaira, asi inofanira kunge iri kuedza, yakagadzirwa mukumuka kwemaawa uye nemwoyo wose uye nokutendeseka. Unyengeri muhupo hweHigh Self ndiyo chivi chemashiripiti.

Hapana vampire mweya wevakafa kana wevapenyu inogona kupinda mumhepo yeveteti kunze kwekuti pfungwa dzake uye zvido zvake panguva yekumuka zvakabvumira kana kuti zvakabatana zvakanaka nechinangwa chemweya.
