I-Phenomenon of Mass-middenness

Esinye sezici eziyinhloko ezivamise ukubhebhethekisa izingxabano phakathi kwezizwe nenkolo emazweni emhlabeni jikelele kungase kuthiwe kungenxa yesimo esibulalayo sokucabanga kwabantu abaningi, ukukholwa okungaboni nokulalela. Emazweni amaningi, abanye abantu banombono osuvele ucatshangwa ukuthi amalungu ezizwe ezithile noma amaqembu enkolo amane ayizitha zabo. Bacabanga ukuthi akukho okuhle okuyoke kuphume kubo. Lena imiphumela yezikhalazo nobandlululo osekunesikhathi eside lwanqwabelana. Njengoba sibona, ukukhononda okunjalo kuhlala kubonakala ngendlela yokungathembani, ukungabekezelelani okukhulu nenzondo. Futhi, kunamanye amalungu amaqembu athile enkolo, ngaphandle kwesizathu, angafuni ukuzihlanganisa, ukuphila, ukuhlala phansi noma ngisho nokuxhawula abantu bamanye amaqembu enkolo. Uma labo bantu becelwa ukuba bachaze ukuthi kungani beziphatha ngaleyo ndlela, bangase bangabi nazo izizathu ezibambekayo noma incazelo. Bayomane bakutshele ukuthi: “safundiswa lokho”; “bahlukile kithina”; “Asinayo inkolelo efanayo”; “bakhuluma ulimi oluhlukile futhi banamasiko ahlukile”.

Isikhathi ngasinye lapho ngilalela lawo mazwi, ngidumala ngokuphelele. Kuzo, umuntu ubona indlela umuntu angaphansi kwayo futhi alahlwe ngayo ithonya elibhubhisayo lomphakathi ahlala kuwo.

Esikhundleni sokuvumelana nezinkolelo ezinjalo, umuntu ngamunye kufanele abheke ngaphakathi futhi abuze: uma umphakathi wakithi oseduze ungitshela ukuthi omunye umuntu mubi, uphansi, noma uyisitha, mina engingumuntu onengqondo ngicabangani? Uma abantu bekhuluma izinto ezingezinhle ngokumelene nabanye, kufanele ngisekele ngaziphi izizathu ezami ukwahlulela? Ingabe ngithatheka ngalokho abantu abakushoyo, noma ingabe ngiyabamukela futhi ngibahloniphe abanye njengabantu njengami, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izinkolelo zabo ezingokwenkolo noma isizinda sobuhlanga zinjani?

Encwadini yakhe enesihloko esithi, I-Undiscovered Self: I-Dilemma Yomuntu Ngamunye Emphakathini Wanamuhla, U-Carl Jung [i] ugomela ngokuthi “iningi lempilo yomuntu ngamunye emphakathini liye lathonywa inkambiso yamasiko ekucabangeni kwabantu abaningi kanye nokuhlangana ndawonye.” UJung uchaza ukucabanga kwabantu abaningi ngokuthi “ukwehliswa kwabantu ezindaweni ezingaziwa, ezicabanga njengazo, ukuze zisetshenziswe inkulumo-ze nokukhangisa ukuze kufezwe noma yimuphi umsebenzi odingwa yilabo abaphethe.” Umoya wokucabangela abantu abaningi ungamehlisa futhi unciphise umuntu, 'umenze azizwe engelutho njengoba nje isintu sisonke sithuthuka.' Indoda eyisixuku ayikwazi ukuzicabangela, iyingane ekuziphatheni kwayo, “ingenangqondo, ayinandaba, ayinamizwa, iyashintshashintsha futhi ayithembekile.” Ngobuningi, umuntu ulahlekelwa inani lakhe futhi uba isisulu se-"-isms." Engabonisi umuzwa wokuzibophezela ngezenzo zakhe, inqwaba yabantu ikuthola kulula ukwenza ubugebengu obushaqisayo ngaphandle kokucabanga, futhi ikhula incike kakhulu emphakathini. Lesi simo sengqondo singaholela emiphumeleni eyinhlekelele nezingxabano.

Kungani ukucabanga ngobuningi kuyimbangela yezingxabano zenkolo? Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umphakathi esiphila kuwo, abezindaba, namaqembu athile ezinhlanga nezenkolo asinika umbono owodwa kuphela, indlela eyodwa yokucabanga, futhi awakhuthazi ukubuza imibuzo ejulile nezingxoxo ezikhululekile. Ezinye izindlela zokucabanga—noma ukuhumusha—azinakwa noma zibukelwa phansi. Isizathu nobufakazi kuvame ukunganakwa futhi kugqugquzelwe ukukholelwa nokulalela. Ngakho-ke, ubuciko bokubuza, obuwumgogodla wokuthuthukiswa kobuhlakani obubucayi, bubambekile. Eminye imibono, izimiso zezinkolelo noma izindlela zokuphila eziphambene nalokho iqembu elikukholelwayo zenqatshwa ngonya futhi ngamandla. Lolu hlobo lwengqondo lubonakala emiphakathini yethu yamanje futhi lubangele ukungezwani phakathi kwamaqembu ezinhlanga ezehlukene nezenkolo.

Isimo sengqondo sokucabanga ngobuningi sidinga ukushintshwa isimo somqondo sokubuza, sibuyekeze futhi siqonde ukuthi kungani ezinye izinkolelo kufanele zigcinwe noma ziyekwe. Abantu kumele babambe iqhaza ngenkuthalo futhi bangagcini nje ngokulandela nokugcina imithetho. Kudingeka banikele noma banikele ukuze kuzuze okuvamile, hhayi nje ukudla nokulindela ukuphiwa okwengeziwe.

Ukuze uguqule lolu hlobo lomqondo, kunesidingo sokukhanyisa yonke imiqondo. Njengoba uSocrates ezosho ukuthi “ukuphila okungahloliwe akufanelekile kumuntu,” abantu kudingeka bazihlole kabusha, balalele izwi labo elingaphakathi, futhi babe nesibindi sokusebenzisa ingqondo yabo ngaphambi kokuba bakhulume noma benze okuthile. Ngokuka-Immanuel Kant, “Ukukhanyiselwa wukuphuma komuntu ekungavuthweni okuzibekele yena. Ukungavuthwa ukungakwazi ukusebenzisa ukuqonda komuntu ngaphandle kokuqondiswa omunye. Lokhu kungavuthwa kuyazenzela uma imbangela yakho ingekho ekusweleni ukuqonda, kepha ngenxa yokuntula ukuzimisela nesibindi sokukusebenzisa ngaphandle kokuqondiswa ngomunye. Sapere Aude! [alinge ukwazi] “Yiba nesibindi sokusebenzisa ukuqonda kwakho!” – leso yisiqubulo sokukhanyiselwa”[ii].

Ukumelana nalokhu kucabanga kwabantu abaningi kungenziwa ngokuphumelelayo kuphela umuntu oqonda ubuntu bakhe siqu, kusho uCarl Jung. Ukhuthaza ukuhlolwa 'kwe-microcosm - ukubonakaliswa kwe-cosmos enkulu encane'. Kudingeka sihlanze izindlu zethu, sizihlele kahle ngaphambi kokuthi siqhubeke nokubeka abanye kanye nomhlaba wonke ngohlelo, ngoba “Anginalutho ngaphandle kwe-habet”, “akekho onikela ngalokho angenakho”. Kudingeka futhi sithuthukise isimo sengqondo sokulalela ukuze silalele kakhulu isigqi somuntu wethu wangaphakathi noma izwi lomphefumulo, futhi sikhulume kancane ngabanye abangahlanganyeli nezinkolelo ezifanayo nathi.

Ngibona lolu hlelo lwe-Interfaith Saturday Retreat Programme njengethuba lokuzindla wena. Into engake ngakubiza ngokuthi i-Voice of the Soul Workshop encwadini engayishicilela ngo-2012. Ukuhlehla okufana naleli kuyithuba elihle lokuguquka kusuka esimweni somqondo wokucabanga ngobuningi kuya ekukhanyeni komuntu ngamunye, kusukela ekungenzini izinto ukuya emsebenzini, kusukela ekubeni umfundi kuya emsebenzini. ubuholi, futhi kusukela esimweni sengqondo sokwamukela kuya kuleso sokupha. Ngayo, siyamenywa futhi ukuthi sifune futhi sithole amandla ethu, ingcebo yezisombululo namandla afakwe ngaphakathi kwethu, adingekayo ekuxazululeni izingxabano, ukuthula nentuthuko emazweni emhlabeni jikelele. Ngakho-ke siyamenywa ukuthi siguqule ukugxila kwethu kusuka “kokwangaphandle”—okukhona lapho—kuya “kwangaphakathi”—okwenzeka ngaphakathi kwethu. Umphumela walo mkhuba uwukuzuza Metanoia, umzamo ozenzakalelayo womqondo wokuziphilisa ekungqubuzaneni okungabekezeleleki ngokuncibilika bese izalwe kabusha ngendlela evumelana nezimo [iii].

Phakathi kweziphazamiso eziningi nezihehe, izinsolo nokusolwa, ubumpofu, ukuhlupheka, ububi, ubugebengu nezingxabano ezinodlame emazweni amaningi emhlabeni jikelele, i-Voice of the Soul Workshop lesi sigameko esisimemela sona, inikeza ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokuthola ubuhle kanye namaqiniso amahle emvelo umuntu ngamunye aphethe ngaphakathi kuye, namandla "okuphila komphefumulo" akhuluma nathi ngesineke. Ngakho-ke, ngiyakumema ukuba “ungene ujule endlini yakho engcwele engaphakathi, kude nakho konke ukuxhamazela nalokho okuthiwa ukuheha kwempilo yangaphandle, nangokuthula ulalele izwi lomphefumulo, uzwe ukunxusa kwawo. , ukwazi amandla ayo”[iv]. “Uma ingqondo igcwele izikhuthazo eziphakeme, izimiso ezinhle, imizamo yobukhosi, ewubukhazikhazi, nephakamisayo, izwi lomphefumulo liyakhuluma futhi ububi nobuthakathaka obuzalwa ohlangothini olungathuthukisiwe nolobugovu lwemvelo yethu yobuntu abukwazi ukungena, ngakho-ke kufa"[v].

Umbuzo engifuna ukukushiya nawo uthi: Yiliphi igalelo okufanele silifake njengezakhamuzi ezinamalungelo, izibopho nezibopho (futhi hhayi uhulumeni kuphela, ngisho nabaholi bethu bohlanga noma bezenkolo noma abanye abasezikhundleni zomphakathi)? Ngamanye amazwi, yini okufanele siyenze ukuze sisize ukwenza umhlaba wethu ube indawo engcono?

Ukuzindla ngalolu hlobo lombuzo kuholela ekuqwashiseni nasekutholakaleni kokunotha kwethu kwangaphakathi, amakhono, amathalente, amandla, inhloso, izifiso kanye nombono. Esikhundleni sokulinda uhulumeni abuyise ukuthula nobumbano, sizogqugquzeleka ukuthi siqale sithathe inkunzi ngempondo ukuze sisebenzele ukuxolelana, ukubuyisana, ukuthula nobumbano. Ngokwenza lokhu, sifunda ukuba nomthwalo wemfanelo, isibindi, nokukhuthala, futhi sichithe isikhathi esincane sikhuluma ngobuthakathaka babanye abantu. Njengoba uKatherine Tingley ekubeka, “ake ucabange isikhashana ngendalo yabantu abahlakaniphile. Uma babemile futhi babuyela emuva ngokungabaza ngesikhathi lapho ithonya laphezulu libathinta, akufanele sibe nomculo omnandi, imidwebo emihle, ubuciko obuphefumulelwe, futhi singabi nezinto eziqanjiwe ezimangalisayo. Lawa mandla amangalisayo, aphakamisayo, adala avela esimweni somuntu saphezulu. Uma sonke sasiphila ekuqapheleni nasekukholelweni kwamathuba ethu amakhulu, kufanele siqaphele ukuthi siyimiphefumulo nokuthi nathi sinamalungelo angcwele ngaphezu kwanoma yini esiyaziyo noma esiyicabangayo. Nokho lokhu sikulahla eceleni ngoba akwamukelekile ebuntwini bethu obulinganiselwe. Azihambisani nemibono yethu esesiyicabangele. Ngakho-ke siyakhohlwa ukuthi siyingxenye yesu laphezulu lokuphila, ukuthi injongo yokuphila ingcwele futhi ingcwele, futhi sizivumela ukuba sihlehlele emuva emgaqweni wokungaqondi kahle, ukungaqondi kahle, ukungabaza, ukungajabuli, kanye nokuphelelwa ithemba”[vi] .

I-Voice of the Soul Workshop izosisiza ukuba sidlulele ngale kokungaqondi, ukusolana, ukusola, ukulwa, ukungezwani kwenkolo, futhi simele ngesibindi ukuthethelela, ukubuyisana, ukuthula, ukuzwana, ubumbano nentuthuko.
