IZITHUNZI

(Iyaqhutywa)

WAKHO isithunzi sakho singaze sikhule sinciphile. Ngaphandle kokwazi ukungenisa kwayo eli binzana lihlala lisetyenziswa ngabo baphatha intando elungileyo kulowo ubhekiswa kuye. Inokusetyenziswa njengophawu lwentlonipho, ukubulisa, okanye ukubingelela. Isetyenziswe zizizwe ezimnyama ze-equatorial Africa kunye neeLwandle zaseMazantsi, kunye nabantu abalusu abahamba ngolusu oluhlobo lwenxweme laseNyakatho. Ezinye zincamathisela intsingiselo eninzi kumagama; abanye bazisebenzisa kancinci njengesaliti esidlulayo. Njengala mabinzana maninzi kusetyenziso oluqhelekileyo, intsingiselo yeli ibaluleke ngakumbi kunokuba kucingelwa. Ibinzana kufuneka ukuba laqulunqwa okanye lasetyenziswa kwasekuqaleni ngabo babezazi ukuba ziyintoni izithunzi. "Ngamana isithunzi sakho singaze sinciphise" lithetha ngokuthobela ukuba umzimba womntu ukhule ufezeke kwaye uya kuphila ubomi obungenasiphelo yonke imihla. Ngaphandle komzimba obonakalayo uphosa, asinakubona isithunzi kwihlabathi elibonakalayo. Amandla omzimba omelele angcono ayakuba sisithunzi sayo xa ingabonakala. Xa isithunzi somntu siqikelelwa ukukhanya kwaye kubonwe, kuya kubonisa imeko yempilo yomzimba. Ukuba isithunzi sonyuka ngamandla siya kubonisa impilo ehambelana nayo kunye namandla omzimba. Kodwa njengokuba umzimba wenyama kufuneka ufe ngamanye amaxesha, ukuze umntu aphile ubomi obungenasiphelo kuthetha ukuba isithunzi simele ukuzimela gemzimba. Ke ukuze isithunzi somntu singakhuli kancinci kuthetha ukuba umzimba wakhe we-astral, uhlobo lomzimba wakhe wenyama uya kuba ogqibeleleyo, kwaye uzimele gemzimba wakhe wenyama, ukuba uyakuhlala kuwo yonke iminyaka. Oku akunakuba ngaphandle kwesithunzi, endaweni yokuba sibe njengoko sinjalo ngoku, intelekelelo yendlela yomzimba, inyuka kumandla namandla kwaye iba, njengoko inokuba nkulu kwaye ibengcono kunomzimba wenyama.

Ukusuka kwinto esele ithethiwe, kwaye njengoko umntu esiya siqhelana ngcono nezithunzi, kuya kuqondakala ukuba isithunzi asikho, njengoko kucingelwa ngokubanzi, kukusitha kokukhanya, kodwa sisithunzi is ikopi ecekeceke okanye iqabane eliqikelelwe lelo candelo lokukhanya elingenako ukubonwa ngumzimba kwaye lidlula lize liphathe umthunzi. Kwimizimba yobomi obucwangcisiweyo, isithunzi esiphoswayo asiyonto yomzimba. Yiyo leyo ihamba kwaye idibanisa kwaye ibambe ndawonye amasuntswana okanye iiseli zomzimba ophilayo. Xa ikopi yale ndoda ingabonakaliyo nengaphakathi ibambe iiseli ezibonakalayo ziqikelelwa esithubeni kwaye zinokuqondwa, zonke iimeko zangaphakathi ziya kubonakala. Imeko yenyama iya kubonakala njengoko injalo kwaye iya kuba ngaphakathi kwexesha elithile, kuba okubonakalayo kukubonakala kwangaphandle kwaye okuvela kwimo engabonakaliyo yomntu ngaphakathi.

Isithunzi somzimba olungelelanisiweyo wobomi siqikelelwa kukukhanya, ngokufanayo njengomfanekiso kwifoto yokufota; kodwa lo gama umfanekiso kwipleyiti okanye kwifilimu unokubonakala uprintwe ngumbane phezu komphezulu, ulungiselelwe ukubamba umtsalane, akukho ndawo yenziweyo ukuba ibambe kwaye ibonakalise isithunzi njengoko kuqikelelweyo kwaye kusenziwa kukukhanya.

Ngenxa yokubonakala ngathi yinto engacacanga kunye nokungaqiniseki okunxulunyaniswa nemithunzi, ingcinga yezithunzi njengesihloko sokufunda inokubonakala ingaqhelekanga. Ukufundwa kwemithunzi kunokubangela ukuba umntu athandabuze ubungqina bezimvo zakhe kunye nobunyani bezinto ezibonakalayo kweli lizwe lokwenyama ngaye. Umntu owazi kancinci malunga nesithunzi uyazi kancinci kwizinto zenyama. Umhlaba obonakalayo kunye nazo zonke izinto ezikuwo ziyaziwa ngokwamaxabiso awo okwenyani ngokomgangatho wolwazi umntu anawo amathunzi. Umntu uya kufunda ukuba zeziphi izinto ezibonakalayo ngokwazi kwamathunzi. Ngokufunda nangokuphatha ngokufanelekileyo izithunzi, umntu unokunyuka emhlabeni aye kwilizwe efuna ulwazi. Kukho izithunzi ezilahliweyo okanye eziqikelelweyo ezivela ezintathu kwezine zomhlaba ezibonisiweyo, kwaye kukho iintlobo ezininzi zeemithunzi kwihlabathi ngalinye.

Kunikwe ingqalelo kancinci kwizithunzi ngenxa yokuba kucingelwa ukuba azinabomi bokwenyani. Ezo zinto zibonakala zibangela amathunzi yimizimba yenyama. Siyawathanda onke amanqanaba emizimba yoko kubonakala ngathi kufanelekile kodwa sijonga isithunzi njengento engento, kwaye siwuthathe njengommangaliso umphumo wequeer xa ezinye izithunzi zigqitha kuthi. Njengoko sifunda ukuba izithunzi zibakhona nyani siyakufunda ukuba isithunzi, hayi uphawu oluqondwayo, alubangelwa ngumzimba obonakala ubangela, kodwa luhlobo olungabonakaliyo lomntu ngaphakathi komzimba. Umzimba wenyama othintela imitha yokukhanya ebonakalayo kwaye ngaloo ndlela unike umda kwisithunzi, yiyo yonke loo nto. Xa umntu ejonge ngokungagungqi kwaye eqonda emthunzini wakhe uqonda ukuba bubungqina bohlobo olungabonakaliyo ngaphakathi komzimba wakhe obangelwe kukukhanya okudlula kuye. Xa umntu esazi ixabiso lesithunzi kunye nesizathu saso akubona umzimba wenyama unokujonga kuso ade ayibone, aze abone ifom engabonakaliyo ngaphakathi, aze ke anyamalale ngokwasemzimbeni, okanye abonakale kwaye athathelwe ingqalelo njengesithunzi nje. Ngaba enyanisweni umzimba wokwenyama yinto yokwenyani? Ayiyo.

Umzimba wenyama ungaphezulu nje kwesithunzi sohlobo lwaso kwaye nomzimba wenyama ngokuthelekiswa awunabunyani kwaye uyangxama njengalolo luhlala lubizwa ngokuba sisiithunzi salo. Susa into, isithunzi sinyamalale. Xa imo yomzimba wenyama isuswa njengasekufeni, umzimba wenyama uyabhanga uyanyamalala. Abanye banokuthi intetho ethi eyokwenyama isisithunzi nje esilinganayo nesibizwa ngokuba sisithunzi, ayiyonyani, kuba isithunzi siphela ngoko nangoko sisuswe kwifom ebangele, kodwa umzimba womntu ubonakala rhoqo emva kweminyaka usweleke. Kuyinyani ukuba izithunzi ziyanyamalala ngaxeshanye kwaye nomzimba wenyama ugcina ubume bawo kwakudala uswelekile. Kodwa oku akungakholelwa ukuba sisithunzi. Isithunzi somntu sidlula xa ushukumisa umzimba wakhe wenyama kwaye isithunzi sakhe singenakubonwa ngaphakathi okanye kwindawo ebonakala ngathi ushiywe; kuba, kuqala, umntu obukeleyo akakwazi ukubona isithunzi kwaye ubona ukukhanya; kwaye, okwesibini, indawo apho isithunzi saphoswa kuyo kunye nendawo apho ibingalungiswanga khona kwaye ayinakugcina ulwazelelo lohlobo lwethunzi olwalukho. Umphezulu apho isithunzi saphoswa khona sigcina isigqubuthelo somthunzi, ukuba le fomu ihlala ithuba elide kwaye ngokuqinileyo ngokwaneleyo ukukhanya okudlulileyo kudlulisela umbono ngokweenkcukacha. Kwelinye icala, iiseli okanye amasuntswana apho umzimba wenziweyo uqokelelene kwaye ulungelelaniswe kunye nendlela nganye ebekwe ngayo kwaye ibekwe endaweni ngokokutsala kwayo komazibuthe. Iminyaka yayifuneka kwindalo, phantsi kwesikhokelo esiqondayo, ukubonelela ngeemeko zomzimba apho into engabonakaliyo inokuqikelelwa kwaye igcinwe ngokungqinelana nefomathi engabonakaliyo ebonakalayo kodwa isithunzi esenziwe ngendlela ecekethekileyo nesibonakalayo. Umhlaba wonke unamafu agqobhozayo amafu, iinduli zawo ezigungxulweyo, amahlathi amakhulu, inamabhodlo asendle kunye neenkqantosi, kunye nemeko yayo yokulwa, iziseko zayo ezinzulu kunye nemingxunya, amagumbi ayo agqunywe ngobhedu, kunye nazo zonke iintlobo ezihamba kwiindawo zawo zokuphumla okanye ngaphezulu komphezulu wayo, zizithunzi nje kuphela.

Zininzi iindidi kunye nobuninzi bemizimba yenyama, kodwa zonke zizithunzi nje.

Kwimvo kubonakala ngathi ayinakwenzeka ukuba ihagu, iiphiramidi, umthi, ujibbering, apeceed ape, umfazi omhle, zizithunzi. Kodwa kunjalo, kunjalo. Asiziboni iifom zehagu, iphiramidi, umthi, inkawu okanye umfazi. Sibona izithunzi nje zazo. Phantse wonke umntu uyakuvuma ukukhanyela okanye ukugcona ingxelo yokuba konke ukubonakala komzimba zizithunzi. Kodwa abo basengozini yokuhlekisa kwisiteyitimenti, abanakukwazi ukuchaza ukuba zenziwa njani na iikristali, kwaye, kuthini, njani igolide, indlela imbewu ekhula ngayo ibe ngumthi, indlela ukutya okuguqulwa ngayo kube yimisipha yomzimba, Umzimba ophucukileyo owomzimba wakheke ukusuka kwiintsholongwane ezincinci kunokhozo lwesanti.

Ngokomthetho kunye nenkcazo yesithunzi, ezi nyaniso zinokucaciswa kwaye ziqondwe. Kwimeko yento ephilayo umzimba wayo ugcinwa kukutya; ukutya, okukhanya kunye nomoya namanzi namanzi nomhlaba. Oku kukutya kane nangona kungenabume ngokwako kuchongiwe okanye kufakwe kwisicwecwana ngokwendlela engabonakaliyo. Xa ukutya kuthathwa emzimbeni bekungakwazi ukugaywa kwaye kufakwe emzimbeni, kodwa bekuya kubola, ukuba bekungenakuphefumla okusebenzayo egazini njengokukhanya kwaye kunyanzela igazi ukuba lithathe ukutya kwaye likuthathe kwaye likufake kwizinto ezahlukeneyo amalungu omzimba ngokwendlela eqinisekileyo yomzimba, nangaphandle kuwo onke amalungu alo. Nje ukuba umphefumlo uphume okanye ukukhanya kuqhubeke kwaye ifom yayo ihleli, umthunzi wayo, umzimba wenyama, ugcinwa. Kodwa xa ukukhanya okanye ukuphefumla kuphuma, njengakufa, umzimba wawo wenyama kufuneka ubune kwaye uphume, njengesithunzi esinyamalalayo ngokususwa kwento okanye ukucima isibane esivelisileyo.

Isintu njengengqondo kunye neendlela eziziphethe ngayo zihlala emthunzini, kwimizimba yazo, kwaye zihamba kwihlabathi lamathunzi emzimbeni, nangona zingakholelwa ukuba zizithunzi. Bakhangela izithunzi abazigqala njengeziyinene kwaye babe buhlungu, badane kwaye baphuke xa ziphela. Ukuphelisa iintlungu kwaye uhlale ungaphazanyiswa, umntu akafanele azigxothe izithunzi okanye abaleke; Kuya kufuneka aqhubeke efunda kubo, ade ayifumane loo nto isisigxina kwihlabathi lakhe lokutshintsha kwemithunzi.
