IMAGINATION

(Kuphetha)

EMQONGWENI kulele imithombo lapho ukucabanga okuvela kuyo umsoco. Ukuthambekela okuzelwe kanye nesisusa ekuphileni kuyonquma ukuthi umcabango uvela kuyiphi imithombo. Umuntu onobuhlakani bakhe besithombe obusebenzayo kodwa onamandla amancane okucabanga, angaba nemibono eminingi yezinhlobo eziningi, kodwa esikhundleni sokuphila futhi abe nesimo esiphelele, bayoba yizisu, abasazalwa. Lezi zizothakazelisa futhi zinikeze injabulo kulowo muntu, kodwa ngeke ziwusize ngalutho umhlaba. Umuntu kufanele acabange, kufanele acabange indlela yakhe yokungena endaweni yokucabanga, umhlaba wengqondo, ngaphambi kokuba anikeze amafomu afanelekile emicabango azoyiletha emhlabeni wengqondo nenyama. Uma engakwazi ukungena endaweni yokucabanga, imicabango emshukumisayo ngeke ibe eyohlobo lwakhe[1][1] Umuntu, umqondo osenyameni, uwukudingiswa ekhaya lakhe ezweni lengqondo, izwe lokucabanga. Imicabango yakhe emihle nemisebenzi yakhe emihle imkhokhela isihlengo, futhi ukufa kuyindlela abuyela ngayo ekhaya ukuze athole ikhefu—kuphela ukuze athole ikhefu. Kuyaqabukela ekuphileni kwakhe emhlabeni engakwazi ukuthola indlela ebuyela emuva, noma abheke ikhaya lakhe okwesikhashana. Kodwa kuyenzeka ukuthi athole indlela esekhona kulo mhlaba. Indlela ingokucabanga. Imicabango ehlala inhlanhlatha iyamphazamisa futhi imphazamise, futhi imholele kude lapho ezama ukucabanga, njengoba iziphazamiso nezinjabulo kanye nezilingo zomhlaba zimholela kude nemithwalo yakhe yemfanelo nemisebenzi yokuphila. Kumelwe asebenze phakathi kwequlu lemicabango emi phakathi kwakhe negoli lakhe.—hhayi okomhlaba wengqondo, futhi ngeke akwazi ukubamba futhi azazi futhi ahlulele futhi abhekane nazo. Lapho engena endaweni yokucabanga, uzothola umcabango wakhe kanye nemicabango azonikeza kuyo amafomu futhi azoyiletha emhlabeni ngomcabango. Ungena endaweni yomcabango ngokuzama ukucabanga, ngokulaya ukukhanya kwakhe okuqaphelayo ukuze agxile emcabangweni ongaqondakali awufisayo, aze awuthole futhi azi. Ukholo kanye nentando kanye nesifiso esilawulwayo kuyadingeka ukuqala nokuqhubeka nokucabanga, kuze kube yilapho isihloko somcabango sitholakala futhi saziwa.

Ukholo akuyona ukuqagela noma ukufisa noma ukukholelwa ukuthi kungenzeka. Ukholo yikukholelwa okuhleliwe ekuqinisweni kokucatshangwa, nokuthi kuzokwaziwa. Ayikho inamba yemizamo engenamsebenzi yokuyithola; akukho ukwehluleka, noma yikuphi okuphawulekayo, kuyoguqula ukholo, ngoba ukholo olunjalo luvela ngolwazi, ulwazi oluye lwazuza kwezinye izimpilo futhi oluhlala kumuntu ukubeka isimangalo nokulondeka. Uma umuntu enokholo olunjalo futhi ekhetha ukwenza okuthile, ukhetho lwakhe luveza amandla okuthanda; uphendulela ingqondo yakhe engqondweni yakhe, futhi ukucabanga kwakhe kuqala. Ukuhluleka ukwazi isihloko sakhe sokucabanga akusileli. Umzamo ngamunye uyisizo ekugcineni. Kumenza akwazi ukuqhathanisa nokwahlulela izinto eziza embonweni wengqondo, futhi uthola indlela yokuwachitha. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, umzamo ngamunye usiza ukulawula isifiso esidingekayo emcabangweni. Isifiso esilawulwayo sinikeza amandla amafomu akhiqizwa ngombono. Ngokulawulwa kwe-turbulence eyimpumputhe ephazamisa ukucabanga, ukukhanya kwengqondo kucacisiwe futhi amandla anikezwa ukucabanga.

Inkumbulo ayidingekile emcabangweni, okungukuthi, inkumbulo-inkumbulo. I-Sense-memory iyinkumbulo ngokusebenzisa izinzwa, njengokukhumbula nokukhumbula, ukwenza isithombe kabusha, ukuphimisa kabusha, ukunambitha kabusha, ukuhogela kabusha, ukuthinta kabusha, izinto ezibonwayo nemisindo kanye nokunambitha kanye nephunga nemizwa eyenzeka ngesikhathi izinzwa empilweni yamanje yenyama. Inkumbulo iwumsebenzi wokuzicabangela ngemva, kodwa hhayi ngaphambili, lapho umuntu esethole umcabango ozoba umsebenzi womcabango wokuletha isimo nokukhiqiza.

Ukucabanga kuyisimo somqondo lapho ubuhlakani besithombe buphoqeleka ukuba busebenze. Emcabangweni isenzo se-faculty image sihle futhi asibi. I- kubi isenzo siwukubonakaliswa kwezinto zemizwa nemicabango, kanye nokucatshangwa kombala nesimo sazo. Umsebenzi ongemuhle womcabango uboniswa nabantu “abacabangayo”, abamangele futhi abalahlekelwa ukulingana ngokufanekisa izinto ezingase zenzeke (kanti isilo esinezinyawo eziqinisekile asicabangi). Ngo- omuhle isenzo, leso “somcabango,” ubuhlakani bezithombe bukhiqiza umfanekiso nombala futhi buwenze kube yinto ebalulekile, futhi buveze imisindo, konke njengoba kunqunywa ithonya lamanye amakhono ayisithupha engqondo.

Zonke izinto kanye nemisebenzi yobuciko kufanele kufakwe emcabangweni ngaphambi kokuthi zinikezwe ukubukeka ezweni elingokoqobo. Ekunikeni ukubonakala ezweni elingokoqobo kumafomu adalwe futhi enza ukuphila okucatshangelwa yimicabango lapho ikhulelwe, izitho zangaphandle zengqondo zisetshenziselwa kuphela amathuluzi, aqondiswa izinzwa zangaphakathi ukunikeza umzimba wangaphandle efomini elingaphakathi. Izinsimbi zomqondo zakha umzimba wezinto ezingcolile njengamaphrojekthi okucabangela indlela yakhe yokuhlala nokudlulisa umzimba kanye nokuqeda umzimba.

Ukuveza ubuciko akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kokucabanga. Ngemuva kokukhulelwa, umcabangi kufanele enze ifomu layo. Ngemuva kokuba enze uhlobo lwayo umculi kufanele akwenze ukukhuluma futhi enze kube khona emhlabeni. Imisebenzi ezayo emhlabeni ngale ndlela yimizamo yabalingisi, imisebenzi yobuciko kanye nomsebenzi wokucabanga. Abaculi noma kufanele babe yizicabangela. Uma okuthiwa abaculi abayiboni ifomu ngaphambi kokuba bazame ukwenza kube khona, ababona abaculi, kodwa nje abadwebi, ama-mechanics. Abaxhomeki ekucabangeni kwabo ngamafomu abo. Baxhomeke ekukhunjweni kwabo, ngezinhlobo zezinye izingqondo, emvelweni-abayikopisha.

Ngezinqubo ezichazwe, abacwaningi bomculi banikeza umhlaba ukuthi yini umhlaba onayo yobuciko. Abaculi be-Mechanical bakopisha kulezi zinhlobo zobuciko. Kodwa ngomsebenzi nokuzinikela ekufundeni kwabo, nabo, bangaba yizicabangela.

Umculi-umculi uvuka esifiso kuze kube yilapho ekhulelwa umcabango. Khona-ke ingqondo yakhe iqala umsebenzi wayo. Umlingisi ngamunye, isimo, ukuzwa okumele kuboniswe, kubonakala ezindlebeni zakhe zangaphakathi ngesimo somsindo, futhi uphila futhi asebenze phakathi kwezinye izinhlobo zomsindo ohlangene nomcabango wakhe ophakathi-okuwukuphefumulelwa kwezinxenye ezihlukahlukene , igcina ngayinye maqondana nezinye izingxenye, futhi yenza ubudlelwano ngaphandle kwezingxoxo. Kusukela ezingenangqondo, umqambi uyakha umsindo ongezwakalayo. Lokhu ubeka ngendlela ebhaliwe futhi uzwakala ngendlela ezwakalayo, ukuze labo abanendlebe bangase bazwe futhi balandele endaweni lapho bazalwa khona.

Ngesandla nangesibhamu nama-hues avela enhlokweni yakhe, umdwebi womculi wakhela ifomu emcabangweni wakhe ekubukeni kokubonakala kwendwangu yakhe.

Umculi wezithombe zomdwebo futhi ucindezela ukuba avele egameni elinamandla ifomu elingabonakali okuyinto engqondweni yakhe evelele emifanekisweni ebonakalayo.

Ngamandla okucabangela isazi sefilosofi sinikeza uhlelo emcabangweni wakhe, futhi sakha amagama amafomu angabonakali womcabango wakhe.

Ummeli ongenakucabangela kanye nomniki-mithetho uhlela futhi unikeze izimiso kubantu, ngokusekelwe ekuboneni kwakhe ngqo kwezinto ezidlule. Umcabango unemibono ekwazisa futhi ilindele izimo ezishintshile nezishintshayo nezakhi ezintsha, ezizoba noma ezizoba yimpucuko empucuko.

Bambalwa abantu abakhona noma abangaba khona ngesikhathi sokucabanga, kodwa abaningi banombono ojabulisayo. Labo abanamandla okucabanga banamandla kakhulu futhi banomthelela ekubonweni kokuphila kunalabo abanamandla amancane okucabanga. Kumcabangi, abangani, abajwayele, abantu, bangabalingiswa abakhuthele, abaqhubeka behlala izingxenye zabo emcabangweni wakhe lapho esedwa. Kumuntu ongacabangi, abantu banegama elimelela kakhulu noma elincane, umphumela walokho abakwenzile nokuthi bangabalwa ukuthi benzani. Ngokusho kwamandla akhe okucabangela, omunye uzoxhumana nezinto nezinto zabantu futhi lokhu kuzofaka abantu futhi ingqondo yakhe, noma, izinto kanye nabantu bayoba ngaphandle kwakhe, ukuze kubonakale kuphela uma kudingwa ngesenzakalo. Umcabango angaba nomcabango abuye abuyekezwe ngemibala, izigcawu enkumbulo yakhe. Angakha amafomu amasha enkumbulweni, bese edweba izigcawu ezintsha, okuyinto inkumbulo yakhe ingaphinda iphinde ibuyele esikhathini esizayo. Ngombono angase ahambele amazwe angaphandle noma angene ezweni elisha futhi ahambe phakathi kwabantu, futhi ahlanganyele emaceleni angakaze axhumane naye. Uma umuntu ongacabangi ucabangela izindawo ayezivakashele, inkumbulo yakhe iyamkhumbuza iqiniso kodwa akunakwenzeka ukuthi iphinde iphinde isetshenziswe; Noma, uma kwenzeka, ngeke kube khona ukunyakaza nombala, kodwa izinto ezingekho nje ngaphandle kokuphila, enobunzima begrey. Ngeke akheke esithombeni sememori yakhe. Kungani kufanele abone ukuthi kwakunjani?

Indoda engacabangi iphila ngomthetho ngokuya ngomkhuba, ngezindlela ezihleliwe nangama-grooves, futhi ngokuya ngesipiliyoni. Akafisi ukuwashintsha, kodwa ufuna ukuqhubeka noku. Mhlawumbe ucabanga ukuthi kufanele zithuthukiswe, kepha noma ikuphi ukuthuthuka kufanele kube semigqeni yalokho obekukhona. Uyakwesaba okungaziwa. Okungaziwa akukho okukhangayo ngaye. I-imaginator iphila ngenguquko, ngokuya ngokuvela, ezimweni zengqondo nemizwelo, ngokuya ngamathemba nemibono yayo. Akakwesabi okungaziwa; noma, uma enza kanjalo, kuye kuye kukhanga ukuzijabulisa. Abantu abangacabangi bavame ukugcina umthetho. Abafisi ukushintshwa kwemithetho. Abantu abacabangayo bayacasuka lapho umthetho uvimbela ukwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha. Bazokwamukela izinyathelo ezintsha bese bezama amafomu amasha.

Indlela engacabangi iyinkimbinkimbi, iyashesha futhi iyabiza, yebo ichitha isikhathi, isipiliyoni kanye nokuhlupheka kwabantu, futhi iwashi isondo lentuthuko. Ngokucabanga okuningi kungalindelwa futhi isikhathi esiningi nokuhlupheka ngokuvamile kugcinwa. Ikhono lokucabanga liphakama kuze kube iphuzu lesiprofetho, lingabona ukuthi imicabango yabantu izophoqelela. Umniki wemithetho ongacabangi uhamba ngesibonelo ngekhala lakhe eduze nomhlabathi futhi ubona kuphela okuphambi kwekhala lakhe, ngezinye izikhathi hhayi lokho. Lowo onengqondo angathatha insimu enkulu yombono, ubone ukusebenza kwamandla amaningi, nokunye okungakabonakali kokungacabangi. Ukungacabangi kubona izenzakalo ezihlakazekile kuphela, futhi akazibongi. Uphoqelelwa kanye nomkhuba. Kodwa nabantu abanengqondo, noma kunjalo, lokho okuyizibonakaliso zezikhathi kungabanjwa, futhi ngokucabangela kufanelekile futhi ngesikhathi esifanele, kusho ukulawulwa kwezimo.

Ukwakhiwa kwezakhiwo, usuku oluphuphayo, ukudlala kanye nemfucumfucu, ukuphupha ebuthongweni, ukucabangela, ama-fantasms, akusikho ucabango, nakuba isakhiwo sokucabanga sisebenza ngokukhiqiza le misebenzi ehlukahlukene nemibandela yengqondo. Ukuhlelwa kokuhle, ikakhulukazi lokho okwenziwa yi-utilitarian, akusiyo ingqondo. Futhi-ke, ukukopisha noma ukulingisa akulona ucabango, ngakho-ke labo abavame ukukhiqiza kabusha ifomu, akuzona izinto ezicatshangelwayo noma ezicabangelayo, yize ukukhiqizwa kabusha kungukuthi kube ngumculi nombukiso wekhono.

Lapho ukucabanga kusebenza ekukhiqizeni izinhlobo zezinto eziyingozi, umoya wezwe awuphazamisi, kodwa ukhuthaza isenzo salo ngoba lo moya womoya uthola amathuba amakhulu okuzwa ngezinhlobo ezintsha. Njengoba ingqondo icabanga, ifunda. Ifunda kancane kancane, kodwa ifunda. Ukucabanga kufundisa ingqondo ngokusebenzisa amafomu. Ikwazisa umthetho, ukuhleleka, isilinganiso. Ngalokhu kuthuthukiswa kwengqondo ngokusebenzisa amafomu aphakeme, kufika isikhathi lapho kungasetshenziswa khona ukucabanga emaphethelweni ahlukene kunokwenza amafomu ezinzwa. Khona-ke ingqondo izama ukwakha amafomu angabonakali, okungezona izinzwa, futhi umoya womhlaba uyaphikisana kanye nabahlubuki ngaso leso sikhathi. Isifiso sisakaze ukudideka engqondweni, ama-cloud and bedazzles ingqondo. Umoya womhlaba wenza ukuba izinzwa, izifiso namandla omzimba ukuba agqoke empini ngokumelene nengqondo ye-bedazzled, njengoba usazama ukwenza amafomu emicabango engacacile kanye nezinto ezingokomoya. Ngokuvamile i-imaginator iyakwazi ukulwa ngokuphumelelayo nale mpi yomhlaba womhlaba ngaphakathi kuye. Uma eshiya imigomo yakhe umhlaba womhlaba uyamvuza ngokuhlonipha umhlaba ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe ezingqondweni eziletha ezweni. Uma umculi we-imaginator engapheli ukulwa, uhluleka noma ubonakala emhlabeni ukuhluleka. Empeleni akahluleki. Uyothola futhi, futhi ngamandla amakhulu nangempumelelo. Uzoletha ingqondo embusweni lapho isebenza kuyo izinzwa, endaweni lapho isebenza khona emoyeni ongcono. Ngesinye isikhathi i-imaginator iphumelela kulokhu. Akuyona impumelelo evamile, akukho mcimbi ovamile. Udalula imithetho emisha engokomoya emhlabeni. Wenza, ngombono, wakha lapho izidalwa zezwe elingokomoya ziza khona futhi zize zibe sebusweni futhi zizibonakalise ngokwazo.

Imicabango yakhe emihle nemisebenzi yakhe emihle imkhokhela isihlengo, futhi ukufa kuyindlela abuyela ngayo ekhaya ukuze athole ikhefu—kuphela ukuze athole ikhefu.

Kumelwe asebenze phakathi kwequlu lemicabango emi phakathi kwakhe negoli lakhe.
