ISIQINISEKISO

Wadalwa njani umhlaba? Yintoni indalo? Imvelo ivela phi? Umhlaba, inyanga, ilanga kunye neenkwenkwezi zibekwe phi? Ngaba ikho injongo kwindalo? Ukuba kunjalo, iyintoni injongo kwaye indalo iqhubeka njani?

Umhlaba awudalwanga. Umhlaba kunye nomcimbi wehlabathi uyatshintsha, kodwa umhlaba, kunye nomcimbi wokudalwa komhlaba, awuzange wenziwe; ibisoloko ikho kwaye ihlala iqhubeka ikho.

Indalo ngumatshini oqulathwe lilonke leyunithi ezingenangqondo, iiyunithi eziqonda njengemisebenzi yazo kuphela. Iyunithi yinto engabonakaliyo kwaye engafundekiyo; inokuqhubeka, kodwa ingabuyi. Icandelo ngalinye linendawo yalo kwaye lenze umsebenzi ngokunxulumene namanye amayunithi kuwo wonke umatshini wendalo.

Umhlaba oguqulwayo, inyanga, ilanga, iinkwenkwezi kunye nayo yonke eminye imizimba ekwindawo yonke yendalo ziyinxalenye yomatshini wendalo. Azange zenzeke nje, kwaye azange zibekwe apho ngokomyalelo womntu omkhulu. Ziyaguquka, kwimijikelo, ubudala, amaxesha, kodwa ziyahambelana kunye nexesha, ekungekho siqalo, kwaye zisebenza zi-Triune Selves ezikrelekrele, njengaxa kwinqanaba lokuphuhliswa kulindelwe ukuba umntu abe kuko.

Yonke into umntu ayibonayo, okanye ayaziyo, lulicandelo elincinci lendalo. Into ayibonayo okanye ayivayo yinkqantosi kwiscreen esikhulu sendalo kwiintlobo ezimbini ezincinci zemodeli: umatshini ongumatshini kunye nomatshini. Kwaye amakhulu ezigidi zaBasebenzi abaqhuba aba matshini, ngokwenza njalo, bahlala besebenza ngokusebenza koomatshini bokutshintsha bemvelo, ukusuka ekuweni kwegqabi ukuya kukhanya kwelanga.
