Uma sikhuluma "ngomphakathi wokucabanga kabusha" kubonakala sengathi sidinga ukuqala sibeke imingcele yephrojekthi enjalo ukuze sisho ukucabanga kabusha. western umphakathi. Nginenganekwane, ehunyushwa esenzweni, ingase ifane nalokhu. Ngiyibiza nge-Conscious Being Alliance.

UNONYAZI kuyisidingo kukho kokubili UKUBA NOMBIMBI. Umuntu kufanele aphaphame, aqaphele, aqaphele. Umuntu uthola kanjani ukuphaphama? Ukwesaba kukulawula kanjani ukukhetha kwethu? Inkulumo-ze izilawula kanjani izifiso zethu eziphansi nezenzo zansuku zonke? Ngihlala kuphi ezikhundleni zabacindezeli (abacindezela abanye) nabahlukunyeziwe (abacindezelwe)? Uhlala kuphi?

UKUBA is a indlela, indlela. Kokubili kuyibizo, kanye nesenzo, futhi kuyisimo sendawo yonke yokuphila. UBUNJALO-ke yibizo, njengaseMUNTU, kodwa UNYAZI lungahunyushwa lapha njengesichasiso esichaza indlela UKUBA, lapho UKUBA kuyisenzo. UKUBA NAZI kume ekuhlanganeni okubukhali kokuthi UKUNGAZI. Sonke sibhekana nezimo ezinkulu noma ezincane zokuqaphela. Ukwazi kwethu kungakhushulwa futhi kwehliswe. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​emhlabeni ukuthi abantu abaningi abakuphishekeli ukuvuswa kwe-SELF yabo, nakuba abaningi bekwenza.

UMBIMBI kuwukuhlanganisa, ukusebenza ndawonye, ​​ukutholwa kwezinto esivumelana ngazo, ukuzithoba kokuhle kakhulu nokuyeka ukulawula, ukwakheka kwamandla. Kuwukuzithoba komuntu siqu kumandla aphezulu. Kuphinde kube yisikhundla samandla, ukuchuma komuntu ngaphakathi komphakathi, isizwe noma inethiwekhi, okusekelwe kokuhle okuphezulu. I-Alliance i-SOLIDARITY.

 

ISIMO SOKUZIPHATHA

Okokuqala nje, ngifunde izindatshana eziningi zokuqala zalo msebenzi, futhi ngikuthola kunzima ukuziqeda. Eziningi zibonakala zingabalulekile, zingathintani namaqiniso, noma ziwumcabango ngokweqile; ezinye zibonakala ziwukuqhutshekwa kwenkulumo eqhubekayo, noma ukuvikela isikhundla esithile noma okunye, lapho umfundi ovamile kucatshangwa ukuthi wazi konke okungaphakathi nokuphumayo kwengxoxo ethathe isikhathi eside (okungenzeka) abe yingxenye yayo. Ezinye zibonakala ziyi-myopic, ezinye i-ethnocentric.

Nginomuzwa wokuthi izindatshana eziningi azikhulumi nabantu abavamile, ezidingweni ezingokoqobo, futhi ezinye zibonakala zigwema amaqiniso asobala. Yebo, abantu bangase basho okufanayo ngale ndaba. Nakuba ngilihlonipha izinga ukuhumusha okunjalo okungabonisa ngalo ngempela ukuquleka kwami, ngiphinde ngikhumbule ukugxekwa okubuhlungu kukaFanon.

“Kuyenzeka ukuthi ukungalungeli kwamakilasi afundile, ukuntuleka kokuxhumana okungokoqobo phakathi kwabo noquqaba lwabantu, ubuvila babo, futhi makungathiwa, ubugwala babo ngesikhathi esinqumayo somzabalazo buzodala usizi. amaphutha."[i]

Ukube bekunesikhathi esiwujuqu, bekungaba manje, kepha sekunesikhathi eside impela, futhi sithatha isinqumo kuze kube seqophelweni lokubulawa kwezigidi zabantu.

Angiqondi kancane ngeMarxism, angikaze ngiyifunde, kodwa ngimenyezelwe njenge-leftist ye-Marx. Ngachitha isikhathi ejele, ngakho ngiyakufanelekela ukukhuluma ngokuguqulwa kwejele, kodwa futhi ngathola ushwele ogcwele wezomthetho kuMbusi waseMassachusetts uMichael Dukakis futhi, ngithola iMasters ku-Electrical Engineering, ngasebenza emkhakheni we-aerospace nokuvikela. Ngemva kwesikhathi eside ngasebenzela iZizwe Ezihlangene.

Wonke umuntu ungumgxeki. Ngokwezindinganiso zabanye abantu irekhodi lami (elichithiwe) lingenza ngingafaneleki ngenxa yezizathu zokuziphatha zokukhuluma nganoma yini nhlobo, kuyilapho ukusebenzisana kwami ​​ne-UN kubangela ukusabela okufanayo, kodwa kusukela kusethi ehluke kakhulu yabantu (abamelene nokusungulwa, abaphikisana ne-imperialism).

Mina, mina, mina.

Ngingesinye sesifundo kuphela engifaneleke ngempela ukukhuluma ngokuqiniseka okuphelele. Kodwa kubonakala sengathi indida ('i' futhi) yalesi sitatimende izolahleka kubafundi abaningi, ngoba isiko lethu 'elifile' linezinkolelo eziningi kanye nokuphikisana mayelana nokuma komuntu siqu kangangokuthi abantu abaningi noma abantu abaningi basheshe banqotshwe yi-fascism yomuntu siqu. ngokufunda elithi "Mina" kunoma yini.

Mina, mina, mina. Konke kumayelana nami. Akunjalo?

I-iPod yami, i-iPhone yami, i-iTunes yami, iphrofayela yami ye-FACEBOOK. UZONGABANGANI? (Hhayi ngemva kwalesi sihloko.) Kungani siyibiza ngokuthi i-YouTube hhayi i-iTube kuyilapho kungenye iphrojekthi ye-nihilist ehloselwe Ukuzisakaza ^TM ?

Kuthiwani nge-u-Boob ne-i-Boob? Ngokwandayo singabona ukuthi abantu basentshonalanga 'emphakathini' balahlekelwe kanjani amandla okuzicabangela bona. Yonke into iba yizinga elijwayelekile noma yenziwe ngekhompyutha. Amamephu namamephu—imishini yedeshibhodi ye-GPS noma ye-GIS—kuthathe ukuphila kwabantu ngaphandle kokuqonda okudingekayo kokuthi yini elahlekile. Abantu abaphuthelwa yilokho abangakaze babe nakho, futhi intsha namuhla—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iziphi izinto ‘zokuthola’ noma zokuzibeka esimweni somuntu siqu—ayingeke ingene ekuchazeni kwayo umthwalo wemfanelo womphakathi kanye nencazelo yezimpilo zayo.

Ubani ogeqa intsha? Umphakathi...

Ubugqila obuphelele bemali ebolekiwe yabafundi buwukufa kwesiko lethu ngoba ukubulawa kwentsha, inkululeko, iqiniso, ubuhlakani kanye nokuxhaswa kwezimpi ezihlala njalo, kuwo wonke amazinga, kusukela ekufundiseni kabi enyuvesi kuze kube nsuku zonke. ubugqila obudalwa yisikweletu.

Ingabe siyisiko 'elifile'? Noma umphakathi we-cyborg?

 

I-OBLIVIOUS INDIVIDUALIS

Akusadingeki ukuthi noma ubani abe nesisekelo kulwazi lomuntu siqu (iqiniso) lendaba ukuze abe uchwepheshe, noma umlamuli, ngakho nanoma ubani owenza umsindo owanele kulo mhlaba, esebenzisa zonke izindlela ezintsha zikagesi kanye nobuchwepheshe, angakwazi. zuza ngokushesha okulandelayo, ukufunda okuzinikele, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimpikiswano noma "amaqiniso" zinamanga kangakanani. Izinganekwane zizalanisa izinganekwane kuze kube yilapho nomakhi (intatheli, umhleli, i-blogger, umbhali, isikhulumi) eseguqule inganekwane yabo, emiqondweni yabo, yaba iqiniso elingephikwe.

Uhulumeni wase-US akufanele abe noMnyango Wokuthula kuphela kodwa noMnyango Wezengqondo. Ngoba wonke umuntu uyalizwa iqiniso uma ethulisa ingqondo yakhe isikhathi eside ngokwanele. Kunalokho sinamajeneretha omsindo angapheli nxazonke zethu, aminza amaqiniso asobala, aqhubekisela phambili amanga asobala.

Amadoda amhlophe adinga ukuvala umlomo, futhi (ngokuqaphela izigaba zengcindezelo) nabesifazane abaningi abamhlophe, futhi ngikuthola kunengqondo ngokuphelele ngalabo bantu abavumelana nokudliwa kwendawo ukuze bakufune. Nokho, ekuvezeni inkinga siba yiyo. Kungakho ukunganaki nokwazi kufanele kubhekwe kakhulu.[Ii]

Kudingeka sizwe kubantu abathintekayo emizabalazweni yaseCongo nasePeru, e-Indonesia naseMongolia. Sidinga ukwamukela ubuholi nobuhlakani nezinkanuko kanye nolwazi oluvela eKuphumuleni, futhi sihlehlise indlela yokushintshana ukusuka eNingizimu kuya eNyakatho, ukusuka kwelinye ukuya eNtshonalanga.[Iii] Asisadingi ukuvilapha noma izaba zokuthi kungani lokhu kungenzeki noma kungenzeki.

Sidinga abantu abakwazi kokubili ukulalela nokuzwa.

Siphila enkathini yezabizwana ezenza kakhulu ukuthi "thina" ukwenza noma yini kungenzeki, ngaphandle uma "thina" sikhuluma ngokucindezelwa, okuyinto "thina" esingenzi ngobuqotho, nakuba "sonke" sihlanganyela kukho.

Ngingabala izibonelo zamanje ezibuhlungu ze-Save Darfur Movement, umkhankaso we-Save Tibet, noma i-Raise Hope for Congo initiative, konke okuyizibonelo zokusebenzisana okukhulu {1} kokunganeliseki okudumile (mayelana nokuhlupheka okunganqamuki kothile); {2} ukuzwelana okudumile (kothile ohlukunyeziwe endaweni ethile); kanye {3} nozwelo oludumile (sonke sifuna ukusiza).

Yonke le mikhankaso yethulwe futhi yethulwa kabusha emphakathini odla izindaba wasentshonalanga ngohlelo lwe-propaganda yezinkampani, futhi le nkulumo-ze yenkampani ihlunga indlela yayo phansi futhi ithelele cishe wonke umuntu-noma, kahle, ithelela wonke umuntu njengoba izindlela ezintsha zanda. ngokushesha kunokuba umphakathi ungazamukela noma uzifanise.

Yebo, lokhu AKULONA neze iqiniso ngokunyakaza komphakathi kwenye indawo, kodwa sikhungathekiswe yinkulumo-ze kangangokuthi asinakho ukwazi ukuthi kukhona kwenye indawo. Khonamanjalo, kwezinye izindawo, amaKrestu aseSudan (isb) asebenzisa ulimi, izindlela kanye namalungelo oMbuso emzabalazweni wokusindisa ubuwena encithakalweni “yobuntu” baseNtshonalanga obulethwe kubo njengomphumela wamashumi eminyaka wokucasha kwe-Anglo-American-Israel. impi eSudan.

Uyini 'umphakathi'? Leli gama likhumbuza indawo yefilimu yaseHollywood, EHLATHENI, lapho umlingiswa oyinhloko (uChris McCandless) nomqashi wakhe/umngane wakhe ophuzayo (Wayne) ngokuzumayo beqala ukumemeza: UMHLANGANO! UMPHAKATHI! UMPHAKATHI! Nakuba i-mantra ngokusobala ihloselwe ukuphikisa ukusungulwa, ifilimu ayinjalo. Ngolunye ucezu lwenkulumo-ze esetshenziselwa ukwenza imvume, ukukhohlisa ukwazi kanye nokuqinisekisa ukulawulwa komphakathi. Ukusondelana okuphelele kobudlelwane beHollywood nePentagon, ngokwesibonelo, kungenye into eyimpumelelo yenkulumo-ze. (Ifilimu Lion King kuwumsebenzi ophikisayo omelene nokufika kwabantu kwamanye amazwe, ezingeni elilodwa, futhi ungacaciswa ngohlanga lwawo lwasebukhosini kanye nezinkolelo-ze zobulili nge-Afrika kwamanye amazinga.)

Ngivale i-akhawunti 'yami' ye-FACEBOOK ngoba yaqala ukuthatha impilo yami. Angibhalisi kunoma yibuphi lobu buchwepheshe obusha be-hubris ne-nihilism, futhi angifuni, kodwa amandla ami okukhetha aya ngokuya ngaphansi kokuhlaselwa: njalo ngemizuzu eyishumi kubonakala sengathi kukhona isibuyekezo esisha sesofthiwe nge-Trojan horse yokukhangisa. kufihlwe ngaphakathi, lapho ukuthenga okuthile noma okunye kuba impoqo. Imidlalo yevidiyo iwushevu obulalayo ezinganeni (kanye nakubantu abadala) futhi iveza inkinga yangempela yokungazinikeli isikhathi kwabazali nezingane zabo. Ngokuchitha izingcezu ezinkulu zempilo yomuntu emhlabeni obonakalayo ubuhlakani 'bomphakathi wethu' buya ngokuya buba okokwenziwa.

Ufuna ukwenza kabusha umphakathi? Phuma ku-matrix. Khipha, vala, khipha i-plug-bese uxhuma ngobuningi okungenzeka.[Iv]

Ngivumelana neningi likaRobert Jensen elithi "Life in A Dead Culture." Ikakhulukazi, "Ukuhlolwa kokugcina kwamandla ethu ukuthi asikwazi yini ukubona kuphela ukuthi siphila esikweni elifile kodwa futhi kungase kungabi khona indlela yokuphuma."

Emazingeni amaningi kangaka sibhekene nesidingo sokwethembeka ngempela kanye nokuba yiqiniso mayelana nokuthi kwenzekani ngempela nokuthi sizilungiselela kanjani. Ezingeni elihluke ngokuphelele-elibonisa i-koan yazo zonke izinto-noma yini ingenzeka, amathuba awanamkhawulo, nokho sicindezelwe yizimo zethu zempilo kanye nomphakathi.

Uma kubhekwa noma yiliphi iqiniso, esingakwenza njengabantu ngabanye ukuphinda sicabange kabusha, senze kabusha futhi sifunde kabusha izindlela esiyikho ngazo emhlabeni, indlela esiphatha ngayo abanye, indlela esiphila ngayo kanye nendlela esithanda ngayo. Lokhu kusho ukuhlola izindlela ezintsha zokuba khona, ukuthola isibindi sokuma uqine ngisho noma simi sodwa, ngoba kuzoba nezimpi eziningi ezincane okufanele sizilwe, ukulahlekelwa ukuze kuncishiswe, inkululeko yokuvikela. Kusho futhi ukuzidela, into abantu ababonakala bengazimisele ukuyenza emhlabeni wonke. Abantu abaningi basezikhundleni lapho ukuzidela bekungaba lula khona; kwabanye imihlatshelo ingasho ukuyeka ngokwethembeka into efiselekayo noma ebhekwa njengedingekile noma efiselekayo; futhi kulabo abanokuncane kokuqala, yebo, benza imihlatshelo ejulile nsuku zonke.

Ngisho nabanye bethu abachitha isikhathi sethu bedalula ubunjalo besilo abasoze bakuqonda ukujula komgodi onogwaja: isintu singase singalazi iqiniso lezenzakalo ezingokomlando nezanamuhla ngenxa yemisebenzi ecashile, izinkolo zokufihla, ukuzidla kwesayensi, ama-shredders amadokhumenti. Esikhundleni sokungabaza lawa maqiniso thina-bantu bazo zonke izigaba zezombangazwe-siyasiza ukuwajezisa njalo lapho sisebenzisa inkulumo-ze.

Nalapha udaba lubuyela ekucabangeni ngokwesaba: abantu besaba izindlela izimpilo zabo ezingashintsha ngazo uma benza izinqumo ezihambisana namagugu abo okuzisholo. Abantu bayabona futhi besabe ukulahlekelwa—okusekelwe ezintweni ezibonakalayo—futhi bayehluleka ukubamba ukuzuza okungokomoya okungase kube khona. Asikho isipho esinikezwayo esingasho lutho uma isipho sasingabalulekile ngandlela-thile kulowo ophayo. Ukudedela kuyinto enhle.

 

ISIKHATHI ESINGCWELE, ISIKHALA ESIYINGCWELE

Abantu baye bakhula baba yizigqila ze-electronics, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izigqila zangempela zihlala zifihliwe ngobuchwepheshe obusha obubonakalayo. "Ukuphinda ucabange" umphakathi UFUNA ngokuphelele ukuphela kokuphelelwa yisikhathi okuhleliwe kanye nokuqhubekisela phambili ukungcola nokumosha isiko. Sikwenza kanjani lokhu? Okokuqala, sihlela indlela abantu baseLatin America abahlela ngayo futhi, okwesibili, siyayeka ukudla.

Kufanele kube nomthetho owenqabela izitolo ze-hardware ukuthi zilahle upende ongekho umbala, ukuthola 'isikweletu' ngokulahla igalani ngemuva kwegalani, futhi izikhungo ezifana ne-Trader Joe's kufanele zixoshwe ukuze zingabi khona ngenxa yokuqapha ngezempi ama-dumpster-divers. Yini engenziwa? Ngisindise amalitha angu-16 kapende, futhi ngizopenda inqolobane ngopende olahliwe, futhi ngiyajabula ukudla amapanikuku afakwe isiraphu ye-maple yangempela asuka emabhodleleni amancanyana abizayo—alahliwe ngenxa yokuthi ayenamathela ngaphandle—ekhishwe kudoti kaTrader Joe. . Khonamanjalo, umakhelwane wami uthole isibonelelo sikahulumeni sika-$50,000 ukuze andise ukukhiqizwa kwesiraphu ye-maple futhi wachitha ingxenye yakho ku-skidder wokugawula. Ngempela umhlaba ubheke phansi, kodwa akudingekile ukuba sibe njalo.

Uma kufanele sibe nento esiyifunayo—upende, uxhumano lwe-inthanethi, isithandwa—kufanele sibe nayo manje. Asikho isikhala kuleyo sibalo sesimo somoya, sokuvumelana, sokuvumela indawo yonke ukuba yembuleke ezimpilweni zethu ngendlela ehloswe ngayo. Lokhu kuyingxenye yobudlelwano bethu be-pathological ne-Time. Okuhambisanayo ukuthi abantu baseNtshonalanga abazimisele ukuyeka noma yini—futhi izibonelo zethu zobugovu nokuhaha zithelela Okunye kakhulu ngenxa yenkulumo-ze yaseNtshonalanga kodwa nangenxa yosizo lwaseNtshonalanga kanye nobuntu obungenangqondo obusekelwe ekucabangeni kwethu okuhle nokungabi nacala.

Izinkulungwane zezenzo ezincane ezikhethweni zempilo yomuntu zansuku zonke ezingenza umehluko kulo mhlaba. Konke ukusebenzelana nemithombo yezindaba kuyisivumelwano sokubulala ingxenye yakho siqu futhi ube nesandla ekubulaleni abanye, kuyilapho konke ukungazihlanganisi kuyisinqumo sokuzithanda wena nempilo yakho yonke.

Ukuhaha kuvela emnothweni wamanga wokushoda: lawo matshe angenalutho esifiso (amadayimane) nezinsimbi ze-tinfoil (igolide) ayigugu kuphela njengoba siwenza. Umbono wokuthi kufanele sibe nesilinganiso sethu sansuku zonke sezindaba zomhlaba (funda: inkulumo-ze yenkampani enonya) usekelwe ekushodeleni, kodwa umnyombo wawo kukhona ukukhathazeka okugxiliswe yiyo kanye leyo nkulumo-ze, ikakhulukazi ukukhathazeka mayelana nokuzazisa kanye nokuzazisa.

Gibela ibhayisikili. Cabanga ngazo zonke izaba abantu abazishoyo zokuchitha ibhayisikili njengesinqumo esinengqondo kubantu abaningi. Okuningi kwalokhu kuzungeza amalungelo, ukunethezeka, kanye nesikhathi. Abantu bayehluleka ukuqonda okujulile Inkululeko elethwe ngu ukuthembela ngebhayisikili njengendlela yokuthutha yomuntu ehamba phambili. Behluleka ukuqonda ukuphambana kokuzivocavoca nempilo yomuntu kanye nempilo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lohlamvu lwemali sinezigebengu ze-petroleum ezenzeka kuyo yonke indawo, zifihliwe endaweni, ezimweni eziningi, ngohlelo lwe-propaganda. Cabanga ngoshintsho olukhulu empilweni yakho okungenzeka lubangelwe ukuphaphatheka kwesondo… ungase uphoqeleke ukuthi ume futhi…uphefumule ukuphumula empilweni yakho. Futhi mhlawumbe othile, ndawana thize, angasinda ngolunye usuku ngoba mina nawe asizange namuhla sihlanganyele kulesi simiso esibi.

Isikhathi!

Sidinga ukubuyekezwa okuphelele kanye nokuhlelwa kabusha kwezindlela esibheka ngazo nesibhekana neSikhathi. Isibonelo, ekushayeni ucingo kokuqala ngenza impendulo ye-imeyili ku-Re-Imagining Society Project echaza ukuthi kungani iphrojekthi yayithakazelisa kimi kodwa kungani ngingeke ngibambe iqhaza. (Ngishintshe umqondo wami, into engithanda ukuyibamba.) Isikhathi: iminqamulajuqu kanye nesakhiwo sephrojekthi zidwetshwe ngokwemigomo ye-cartography yasentshonalanga yamashejuli nokuphuthuma, yesikhathi somugqa. Uma besifuna ukuphinde sicabange umphakathi—noma siwenze kabusha—besingahlasela ukumiswa kwesikhathi nendawo njengoba nathi—abanye bethu—sihlasela inqubo yokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke: enye yaphuma kwenye.

(Kuyafana nemikhawulo yokubalwa kwamagama. Lesi yisigameko esinezinye imidiya namuhla: izindaba kufanele zibe mfushane. I-Project Censored ayikwazi ukuhlola indaba uma iyinde kakhulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ihlolwe kangakanani, ngoba abahloli babafundi abanayo. isikhathi. Nokho, le Ndatshana yokuvula inde nje ncamashi njengoba ngicabanga ukuthi idinga ukuba kube ukuze ngiveze amaphuzu ami. Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma umhleli ehlola umsebenzi wami ngokusekelwe kubude bawo ubulala umcabango ozimele ngempela.)

Yebo, ukuchazwa kabusha kwesikhathi bekuyomoshwa ngaphandle kokuchaza kabusha umsebenzi, umsebenzi nokuzilibazisa. Inkulumo-ze iphoqelela abantu ukuba bahlanganyele ohlelweni lokuphelelwa ithemba nobugqila. Ifundisa abantu, ibaphendule ama-drones. Isebenzisa imibono ecatshangwayo, ukukhala komsindo, i-jingoism engenangqondo kanye namanga aluhlaza ukuze bakholise abakwaJones ukuthi nabo bangaphakama ngaphezu kobumpofu (obuphoqelelwe) besistimu yethu, uma nje besebenza kanzima.

Kuyacaca ukuthi abantu ngeke bavele baphoqeleke ukuthi 'bayeke ukusebenza' kulolu hlelo, ukuthi ezinye izindlela kufanele zihlinzekwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umnotho wokukhula okungenamkhawulo okuhunyushelwe ekhaya kunabantu abakhala ngokuthi abakwazi ukukhokha izikweletu yize bekhanuka, bathenge, ubuchwepheshe obungenasidingo (amaSUV, ama-iPod, ama-iPhone, izimoto zeqhwa, omabonakude beHD, njll. ). Uma abantu benciphisa ukuphila kwabo ngokwenqaba ukuthenga izinto ezithengwayo futhi, ikakhulukazi, ukuxhashazwa kwezifiso zabo, bebengase bakhulise isikhathi sabo sokuphumula nenjabulo yabo.

Bangaki abafundi abathi ngokwabo: "lokhu akusebenzi kimi"? (Ayisebenzi kimi.)

Kuneminye imibono yokuba khona, i-cosmologies ehluke kakhulu. Umkhathi awuhambisani ne-imperialism yeGreenwich Mean Time kanye ne-Prime Meridian—esekelwe esikhathini somugqa.[V] Umsebenzi wokuphefumula njengendlela yokwelapha yomuntu siqu, isibonelo—njenge-ayuasca, iboga ne-LSD—unikeza ithuba lokuzwa lokho u-Stanislav Grof akuchaze njengobukhulu be-transpersonal kanye ne-perinatal yengqondo yomuntu.[vi]

Inkulumo-ze, imilutha, ukuzijabulisa, ukuthenga, ukukhuluma okungapheli, ukuhamba, ukujola, ukubukela amafilimu, ukulalela umculo, ukushayela yonke indawo… ukuphinda ucabange umphakathi kuhilela ukwehlisa impilo yomuntu ukuze ube MANJE. Kusho ukuma ezingeni elilodwa, kodwa ukuhunyushwa ngokujule kakhulu kusho ukuchaza kabusha izindlela zethu ZOKUBA. Ekhona ngenxa yakho. Ukuchaza kabusha ingaphakathi lethu ukuze, okungenani, siqonde ukuthi SINGOBANI njengabantu ngabanye nokuthi yini esikhuthazayo ngaso sonke isikhathi, nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuphila kwethu, nokuthi singayenza kanjani ibe nenjongo. Bangaki abantu abaye bahlola indawo engaphakathi yengqondo yabo?

Inhlanzi ayiwazi amanzi ize ithole umoya. Kuyini ukwazi?

Impumelelo yohlelo lwenkulumo-ze ingakalwa ngokufutheka okukhulu mayelana nezindaba, kwenye isethi yezibonelo, ezingabalulekile ezimpilweni zethu, uma kuqhathaniswa nalezo ezibalulekile kubuqotho bemvelo nemvelo yazo zonke izinto eziphilayo.

KwakunguJacques Ellul (Inkulumo-ze: Ukwakhiwa Kwezimo Zengqondo Zabantu, 1963) owacacisa ukuthambekela kwengqondo ekusebenzeni kwenkulumo-ze yesimanje, futhi akumangalisi ukuthi abantu abaningi kangaka abacabanga ukuthi baphapheme balele. U-Ellul waba nomuzwa wokuthi ngisho nalabo abayiqondayo inkulumo-ze basengozini. Ngamanye amazwi, iningi labafundi nababhali bale phrojekthi evinjelwe kancane basengozini enkulu yenkulumo-ze njengawo wonke umuntu.

Abantu ngabantu. Senza amaphutha. Abanye abantu (abangakwesokunxele) bayenqaba ukwamukela iqiniso elinjalo elilula. Balindele ukuthi wonke umuntu angabi nasici, futhi abasoze baxolisa uma benza iphutha, futhi bangasebenzisa ukuxolisa okuqotho komunye umuntu ngokumelene nabo kuze kube phakade. Ake ucabange, isibonelo, ukuthi ngisanda kusolwa ngokuba yi-ejenti kahulumeni wase-US ngoba nje ngiphonsele inselelo ngasese uhlu lwe-China e-Afrika. Lezi yizindlela zokuziphatha ze-pathological, umkhiqizo womphakathi we-pathological.

Ukuthambekela kwabantu kokulahla iqiniso akukusha. Ukuphika kungamandla anamandla, futhi umcindezeli-wena, mina, umphakathi-ufuna ukuphika indima yakhe ekucindezelweni futhi uzonikeza izimpikiswano zangaphakathi eziphambene kakhulu, eziqondiswe yena siqu kunokuba amukele
