IDEMOCRACY YAYESELWE-URHULUMENTE

UHarold W. Percival

ILizwi

Eli nani leHermes ngamanye amaxesha libizwa ngokuba yiFlying Mercury. Luphawu lobuhle namandla eLizwi. ILizwi yinto yokungafi komntu, uMenzi emzimbeni.

Ngaphandle komlomo, ukuphefumla kuyakhelwe kwilizwi elithethiweyo. Ilizwi elithethiweyo liyaxhuma njengembonakaliso yengcinga.

Kucingelwa ukuba ngumthunywa wezithixo, oothixo babantu. Izithixo zamadoda ziyinxalenye ye-Triune Selves, ezingafiyo, ezingekho emadodeni. Inxalenye yomzimba ongafiyo ka-Utatu oziphefumlela emzimbeni womntu kwaye wenza loo nto ifayo. Elo nxalenye yelungu ngalinye lesithathu elingafiyo likaTatu, elisemntwini, liwucacisa umphefumlo ukuba ube sisandi, njengentetho, ophethe iingcinga, ilizwi elithethiweyo.

Ilizwi elithethiweyo sisisithunywa seDo emzimbeni, nakwabanye abaDali ebantwini. Ilizwi elithethiweyo linamandla okwenza ubumnyama, umdla, ukukhohlisa; inokukhanyisela, ibangele, okanye ihlazise; inamandla okulala, ukwenza amaphupha, kunye nokuvuka. Ilizwi elithelelweyo linamandla okuvusa abahli kwabafileyo.

Elo nxalenye ye-Triune Self ekuye emntwini inamandla okuvusa ephupheni elibizwa ngokuba bubomi, apho ibicinga khona kwaye ithethe ngokwayo, kwaye ikuyo. Iya kuphakanyiswa, izinyuse, ibe ihlala ekhaya kunye nokungafi. Iya kuthi emva koko ibe yi-Triune Self iphelele kwiNdawo yokuDala.

Oku kungasentla kubonakalisa intloko yomntu iphoswe ngasemva ngokuphefumla ngokwaneleyo okhupha emlonyeni ukuxhasa umzobo oboniswe kwicala lokubuyela kweli phepha. Intloko ayinakuba kwenye indawo yokuphefumla ukuba ithathe uhlobo lwento ethe tye, ebizwa ngokuba yi "The Flying Mercury." Uphando aluvezi ukuba umtyholwa, uGiovanni da Bologna, wayethetha ukuthini ngobugcisa bakhe. Ngokucacileyo, intsingiselo yile: ILizwi elithethwayo.
