الرد على شبهات حول عجب الذنب

[مسلم77]

وعلى الرغم من غموض سبب تقديس الإغريق والرومان واليهود لهذه المنطقة من العظام فنجد بالطبع أن نظرية الإقتباس هي التفسير الذي اعتُمد عليه من بعض الباحثين لفهم سبب انتشار هذا المعتقد, ففي مقالة نُشرت في مجلة الجمعية الطبية الأمريكية سنة 1987 لأوسكار شوجر, وهو أستاذ بقسم جراحة المخ والأعصاب بجامعة إلينوي الأمريكية يحاول فيها تتبع هذا المعتقد ليصل إلى أن أصل القصة هو الأسطورة المصرية, ونلاحظ أنه ينسب أيضا هذا المعتقد لنص سفر المزامير (34-20).

يحفظ جميع عظامه واحد منها لا ينكسر

يقول د.شوجر:

اقتباس How The Sacrum Got Its Name... " The os sacrum (sacred bone) was so named by the Romans as a direct translation from the older Greek 'hieron osteon'. Explanations of the attribute " sacred " or " holy " in the past have included misinterpretation of the Greek word 'hieron', use of the bone in sacrificial rites, the role of the bone in protecting the genitalia (themselves considered sacred), and the necessity for the intactness of this bone as a nidus for resurrection at the Day of Judgment. A more plausible explanation may be that the holiness of the sacral bone was an attribute borrowed from the ancient Egyptians, who considered this bone sacred to Osiris, the god of resurrection and of agriculture. " " Why the bone under the last lumbar vertebra should be called the os sacrum or holy bone, has been a mystery for centuries. That it is a direct translation from the Greek 'hieron osteon' merely pushes the inquiry back from the first Latin use in about 400 AD to the time of Hippocratres (about 400 BC).... (who.) in describing different large bones in the spine, designated the sacrum as 'hieron' and used 'megalos spondylos' (great vertebra) for the large bone at the end of the lumbar spine... These words, from his section 45, " On Articulations " , are said to be the first recorded use of the words 'hieron osteon' for the sacral bone. " " ... The idea that the sacrum is the last bone in the body to disintegrate after death and, therefore, necessary for resurrection, could qualify it as sacred. The first Biblical intimation that a single bone might be the bone needed for resurrection is in Psalms 34:21 " He watches over all the bones; one of them shall not be broken... " (The following anecdote is taken from Jewish lore " (Emperor) Hadrian (may his bones rot and his name be obliterated) asked Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah: " Whence will man sprout in the Hereafter? " He replied, " From the nut of the spinal column. " He said to him: " Prove it to me. " He had one brought; he placed in in water but it did not dissolve, in fire but it was not burnt; in a mill but it was not ground. He placed it on an anvil and struck it with a hammer; the anvil split and the hammer was broken, but it remained unaffected. He added: " Hence even if the rest of the body disintegrates, this will remain intact, and it will provide the starting point for its reintegration. " " (The Hebrew word for " nut " is " Lux " , which has also been translated as " light " . In Aramaic usage it refers to the bone at the base of the spinal column.)... " the Arabs as well as the Jews held that the coccyx (el ajb) was the first bone to be formed in the human and would persist to the last day when it would be the seed from which the whole body would be renewed. " (The Australian Sahaja Newsletter - 18 March, 1994)

ويقر د.شوجر في المقالة على أن سبب تقديس القدماء لهذه المنطقة من العظم وتسميتها بـ (العظم المقدس) قد مثل لغزا عبر القرون في قوله:

Why the bone under the last lumbar vertebra should be called the os sacrum or
holy bone, has been a mystery for centuries.


الترجمة:

سبب أن العظمة الواقعة تحت آخر فقرة قطنية ينبغي أن تُسمى بـ (os sacrum) أو (العظم المقدس) قد مثل سرا لعدة قرون.


وبتوسيع النظرة بعض الشئ سنجد أن الموضوع لم يقتصر على هذه الحضارات فقط., ولكن نجد أن هناك معتقدا مشابها لدى المختصين باليوجا يعرفون ما يُسمى بـ(كونداليني) وهي - بحسب المعتقدات الهندية وشرق آسيا - طاقة إلهية تتمركز في قاعدة العمود الفقري عند العجز ويُرمز لها بثعبان متمركز عند العجز يرتفع ويلتف عند العمود الفقري كلما ازدادت مواهب الفرد وطاقاته
