Okwesine Impucuko. Impucuko engaphansi.

Ngesikhathi isikhathi ngenkathi kukhona inkathi yomhlaba, lapho umhlaba isici yayibusa futhi abantu bajwayelana nayo, kwakukhona izimpucuko ezinkulu ezidlula impumelelo noma yini ebikwa emlandweni. Lezi zimpucuko zazisekelwe kwezolimo kanye nokusebenza kwamatshe nensimbi. Iqala ngokusetshenziswa kwezilwane amandla, impucuko yathuthukela ekusebenziseni imishini eyinkimbinkimbi. Laba abantu ababeqhutshwa amabutho nature.

Amandla munye kuphela. Iguqulwa ibe iziteshi eziningi futhi ivela ngaphansi kwezici eziningi. Namuhla kubonakala sengathi ukukhanya, ukushisa, amandla adonsela phansi, ukubumbana, ugesi nokunye. Eminyakeni engenakubalwa edlule amandla afanayo abonakala ngendlela ehlukile. Okuqinile, okuwuketshezi, okunomoya futhi okukhazimulayo ndaba womhlaba, uwohloka ngokuqhubekayo futhi uhlehliswa kabusha. Umphumela ndaba okuyinto namuhla ethatha ifomu yamaminerali, amalahle noma amafutha ayehlukile ngeminyaka ehlukene. Ukusatshalaliswa kwezine ezifanayo Izakhi kanye nezifunda ezine ze ndaba endizeni ebonakalayo igcinwa imile ngokuqhubekayo ngokubonakaliswa kwalamandla omhlaba. Esikhathini esidlule la mandla ayengakhululwa kangako ngokhuni, amalahle noma uwoyela, njengoba kunjalo namuhla, kodwa ngokuthinta imisinga yomhlaba lapho ebonakala khona. Ikhono lamandla omhlaba ayisisekelo ukuze abonakale ngezikhathi ezihlukene ngezindlela ezihlukene kubangela izinhlangothi ezahlukene zezigxobo zoqweqwe lomhlaba futhi mayelana nalezi zinguquko emijikelezweni yeminyaka emine yomhlaba, amanzi, umoya nomlilo. Uhlobo lokubonakaliswa kwamandla luncike ekilasini le amayunithi, umhlaba, amanzi, umoya nomlilo amayunithi, abantu abangathintana nabo ngokuqondile ngesimiso sabo sezinzwa esizenzakalelayo, noma ngokungaqondile ngokusebenzisa izinto zangaphandle, njengokhuni, amalahle, uwoyela, ithusi, noma i-radium nokunye okunjalo.

Ekuphakameni komhlaba imisinga egijima emhlabeni ezindaweni ezithile yayikhishwa futhi ixhunywe nemishini yokusebenza ngomshini. Kwakhiwa imigwaqo ebanzi nehlala njalo enqamula izintaba nasemathafeni. Abantu bebengawasebenzisi la manzi uma behamba noma behamba. Eminye yale migwaqo engaphakathi emhlabeni isekhona nanamuhla. Abantu abazange basebenzise ibutho lasemoyeni, kodwa baphakamisa izisindo ezinkulu zamatshe ngemishini yabo. Ayengagxilisa amandla omhlaba kangangokuthi akhiqize ukushisa noma ukukhanya kunoma iyiphi indawo lapho ivinjwe khona noma iphuma ngomshini owamukelayo. La mandla ayengasetshenziswa ukwenza izinsimbi eziqinile zisebenze ngaphandle kokushisa. Abantu babenezinqubo zokwenza izinsimbi ezithambile zibe lukhuni. Babenemishini yokusika nokupholishela amatshe, yokuncibilikisa, ukulihlikihla nokulimisa liqine, yokuphotha nokuluka imicu yezitshalo nezinwele zezilwane. Ayenempahla eyayingalukiwe, kodwa yayiqinile njengesikhumba, futhi yayingenziwa ubufakazi ngokumelene nokusikeka kwezikhali.

Babengahambi ngamasondo, kodwa ngezimoto ezivaliwe ezishibilika kalula emigwaqeni. Lezi zihlibhi zazenziwe ngensimbi futhi ngezinye izikhathi zenziwa ngendlela esobala. Impahla yayiqinile kangangokuthi yayingathinteki kakhulu ngenxa yokungqubuzana nakuba izimoto zazihamba ngesivinini esikhulu ngamandla omhlaba. Isivinini esikhulu kunazo zonke, esasingamakhilomitha angamakhulu amaningi ngehora, sathuthukiswa lapho izimoto zihamba ngaphansi komhlaba. Ibanga licishe laqedwa. Lolu hambo lwahamba ngaphansi koqweqwe olungaphandle lomhlaba, kodwa abahambi abazange bathole ulwazi ngendawo engaphakathi yomhlaba, imihlaba yawo nezidalwa zawo, njengoba nje abantu bengasazi manje izidalwa eziphila kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi umoya. Umhlaba wonke awuzange uhlalwe abantu ababefinyelele kulesi sigaba; kwezinye izingxenye kwakungabantu ababengathuthuki kangako, kanti kwezinye kwakungabantu abanonya.

Babenemidlalo yabo okwakuyimidlalo yokubekezela, imidlalo yebhola, i-wrestling kanye nezimpi zobungane. Imidlalo yebhola ibihlukene kakhulu; ukugijima bekungeyona into efana nokuphosa okukhaliphile, ukunqaka nokunqamula ibhola. Babekwazi ukuphonsa ibhola ukuze lenze indilinga phansi, futhi umdlalo wawuyinqamule. Amanzi nomoya kwakungajwayelekile futhi babengakujwayele emidlalweni yabo nakweyabo umsebenzi.

Learning yayiphathelene nezolimo, ukusebenza kwensimbi, ukwenziwa kwamatshe, izakhiwo, imisinga yomhlaba nokusebenza kwayo. Izilimi ezazikhulunywa zazihlukile kulezo zanamuhla ngemisindo nezincazelo. Kwakunezinhlelo ezinwetshiwe zezincwadi. Indlela eyinhloko yokurekhoda kwakuwukuqopha noma ukugxiviza izimpawu ezinemibala epuletini lensimbi elincanyana. Kwakukhona insimbi emhlophe eyayingeke ingcoliswe, kodwa eyayidonsa futhi igcine odayi abangacimeki. Amashidi ensimbi encane ayegoqwa, noma izincwadi zenziwe ngokuboshelwa izingcwecwe ezintini. Lawa mashidi enziwe aba mncane futhi aguquguquka njengephepha namuhla. Futhi babenombhalo owenziwe ngesitshalo owagcina umbono wokubhaliwe. Le nto yayingancibiliki futhi ingashi ngemva kokwelashwa.

Zaziningi izimpucuko ezinjalo enkathini ngayinye yomhlaba. Baqala kusukela ekuqaleni kokudelela futhi ngezinye izikhathi bafinyelela ngezigaba ezihamba kancane kuya ezindaweni eziphakeme ezimangalisayo. Ngezinye izikhathi zaqhakaza ngokuzumayo ngenxa yokwaziswa okwanikezwa iZazi.

Inkathi yomhlaba yalandelwa inkathi yamanzi. Ngenkathi abanye abantu besenkathini yomhlaba, abanye babengene enkathini yamanzi. Baba uyazi we amayunithi ongqimbeni olunamanzi, wathintana nabo, futhi wafunda ukuwasebenzisa. Ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kwenzeka ekuqaleni kwenye inkathi ngemva kokuba impucuko yomhlaba isikhukhulwe, ngezinye izikhathi ngokujwayela kancane kancane abantu endaweni ezungezile, lapho umhlaba usuwohloka kancane. Isikhathi esiningi inkathi yamanzi yavela emhlabeni futhi abantu babekhona ngesikhathi esisodwa kukho kokubili. Imizimba yabantu benkathi yamanzi yayithambile futhi ishesha kakhulu kuneyenkathi yomhlaba. Ngokujwayelekile isimo somuntu sisalokhu sifana kuyo yonke Impucuko Yesine.

Kwakunamachibi amakhulu aneziqhingi ezintantayo ezinabantu abaningi. Abantu bakha izindlu ngokutshala izitshalo nemivini ndawonye, baqinisa izindonga ngobumba, futhi bazihlobisa ngobuciko. Izindlu zazingekho ngaphezu kwezitezi ezintathu. Abantu babetshala izithelo nezimbali emivinini eyayiyingxenye yezindlu.

Bakha izikebhe zokuhlalisa umuntu oyedwa, ezazilingana imizimba yabo futhi babekwazi ukuhamba ngazo ngaphansi kwamanzi. Ezinye izikebhe zazizinkulu ngokwanele ukuthwala amakhulu amaningana. Umoya wawudonswa umshini osesikebheni emanzini. Izikebhe ezinjalo zazakhiwe ngokhuni oluthambile noma ngamathambo ezinhlanzi futhi zifakwe usimende ngejusi yezitshalo ukuze izikebhe zikwazi ukuguquguquka. Abanye babantu bafunda ukushayela izikebhe, hhayi ngemishini noma ngamandla omoya, kodwa ngothile umuzwa ngaphakathi emizimbeni yabo, abanikela iphini lomkhumbi. Lokhu umuzwa yakhiwe emigodini yesisu kanye ne-pelvic futhi yaqhutshelwa phambili. Khona-ke itilosi lalibamba izandla zalo libhekise ku-tiller futhi ngaleyo ndlela lixhunywe nomsinga emanzini, owawusetshenziselwe ukuqhubeza isikebhe.

Ngalezo zikhathi ulwandle lwalungahlukanisiwe njengamanje. Amachibi amakhulu ayexhunywe imifudlana engaphansi komhlaba futhi ahlukaniswa ngamaketanga asezintabeni. Izikebhe zazikwazi ukuhamba ngaphansi kwamanzi zisuka echibini ziye kwelinye. Abantu babengahlala emanzini isikhathi eside, kufudumele noma kubanda. Amafutha noma i-insulating suit yayisetshenziswa lapho amanzi ebanda kakhulu. Kwakungadingeki ukuba babhukude ngezitho zabo, kodwa babekwazi ukusebenzisa zabo umuzwa ukuxhuma nomsinga wamanzi. Phezu kwamakhanda bafaka izivalo ezazibavumela ukuthi baphefumule. Izinhlanzi zazingeke zibahlasele. Babekwazi ukubhukuda ngokushesha njengezinhlanzi, ibanga elide, futhi bazibulale ngokusebenzisa amandla amanzi.

Abazange umsebenzi izinsimbi kahle. Uma yayingekho inkathi yokuqhakaza komhlaba yangaleso sikhathi, ayesebenzisa amathambo namagobolondo acijile namazenga ezinhlanzi, ezinye zazo ezazinjengensengetsha. Ngamathuluzi anjalo babegawula izinkuni futhi balime inhlabathi eziqhingini zabo ezincane. Baluka imicu endwangu, futhi benza ilineni elicolekileyo ngezitshalo zasemanzini. Bahlobisa izingubo zabo ngemibala eminingi, ngejusi yezivini namajikijolo, namazenga ezinhlanzi namagugu. Ukudla kwabo kwakuyizinhlanzi, izitshalo zasolwandle kanye nezithelo ezinoshukela ababezithola ngaphansi nasemaceleni amachibi. Bazidla ziphekiwe, bethola ukushisa emshinini owawusetshenzwa ngamandla amanzi. Babekwazi ukwenza umlilo, kodwa abazange bawusebenzise kakhulu, njengoba babethola ngezinye izindlela ukushisa namandla ababewadinga. Bazenza zonke lezi zinto njengoba kwenza abantu basemhlabeni, kodwa bazenza uyazi wento abantu basemhlabeni ababengenakuyithinta noma bayisebenzise. Kade uyazi longqimba lwamanzi olwalusemhlabeni oqinile futhi lwalukhona uyazi kokuhlala kulo ngesikhathi besemifudlaneni nasemachibini. Basebenzisa amandla angaphakathi kongqimba lwamanzi ukuze bafeze iziphetho zabo ndaba esimweni esiqinile.

Babehlala emiphakathini emincane noma emadolobheni, eminye yayo eyakhiwe emanzini. Izakhiwo zazisezikebheni futhi zixhumene. Kwakukhona ukuhwebelana okujabulisayo phakathi kwabantu abahlukahlukene. Balandela uhwebo oluhlukene kakhulu. Izixhwanguxhwangu zazivame ukuba sezweni futhi zisaba amanzi. Laba bantu basemanzini babenemidlalo nokuzivocavoca umzimba, konke kuxhumene namanzi. Emidlalweni yabo bekukhona abebeqhudelana kuyona abebegibela izinhlanzi ezithile, ezigijinywa zigxumelane.

Babenobuciko nesayensi yabo, umculo omnandi, izakhiwo zasemanzini ezingavamile kanye nezikebhe zabo ezicishe zingabhubhi. Ulimi lwabo ngokuvamile lwaluhlanganisa imisindo yonkamisa. Babenezincwadi namarekhodi, endwangu ephothwe emicu yezitshalo zasemanzini. Lezi zimpucuko zeminyaka yamanzi zabona intuthuko ephezulu ye esintwini. Imizimba yokukhuthazela okukhulu, ubuhle besici, ikhono kwezobuciko kanye nokuzuzwa okukhulu kobuhlakani kwahlukanisa abantu bezinye zalezi zinhlanga zamanzi.

Inkathi yomoya yaphumelela isikhathi samanzi lapho abantu baba uyazi futhi balungise imizimba yabo emoyeni amayunithi eyayihamba ongqimbeni lomoya. Izikhathi ezinjalo ngokuvamile zaqala ngokutholwa ngabantu ngabanye amandla okukhanya namandla okundiza ngokwabo. La mandla ahlala ekhona, kodwa okwamanje ngeke asetshenziswe abantu.

Amandla okukhanya angamandla ahlukile, njengokushisa. Kungenye yezibonakaliso zamandla omhlaba ayisisekelo. Ukubonakaliswa kwayo kususa isisindo ngezinga elikhulu noma elincane. Uma ngezinga elincane kune-gravitation, yehlisa isisindo, uma ngezinga elikhulu ibangela ukuthi into ebonakala ngayo isuke ezintweni ezizungezile. Ngokukhuphukela emoyeni kuhloswe ukuthi uhambe kuphela kuqweqwe lomhlaba. Ukuphakama lapho into inyakaziswa ukukhanya kungenziwa emoyeni ongaphakathi emhlabeni kanye nasemoyeni ongaphandle komhlaba. Lightness kuthinta umuzwa njengenjabulo ngaphandle kokuveza ubuwula. Idlalwa ngu a isimo sengqondo lokho kwenza umuntu axhumane nomoya amayunithi ohlangothini lwazo olusebenzayo, okungamandla omoya, futhi ngokuphefumula, okukhulula amandla futhi awadonse emithanjeni yesimiso sezinzwa esingenakuzithandela. Lapho amandla ezwakala ohlelweni lwezinzwa lokuzithandela, kuba lula futhi umzimba ukhuphukela emoyeni. Ubulula bayo bulingana ne isimo sengqondo, ukuze umzimba ukwazi ukuvuka futhi untante njengothango noma ukudubula usuke emhlabeni.

Amandla okundiza angamandla ongqimba lomoya futhi afana nalawo okukhanya, kodwa ahluke njengamandla. Ukukhanya kuhamba kude noqweqwe lomhlaba; indiza ngokuvamile ihamba ngokuhambisana nayo, kodwa ingahamba ihlehle, iye phezulu noma phansi. Isici sayo isiqondiso. Ithola lokhu ngabakwa isethi yengqondo futhi ingena emzimbeni ngokuphefumula. Ingasetshenziswa ngaphandle kwamandla okukhanya. Kodwa-ke kufanele isetshenziswe ngokuqhubekayo nangesivinini esihlukile, esikhulu ngokwanele ukwenza umoya usekele umzimba. Ngokuvamile womabili amandla asetshenziswa ndawonye. Womabili la mandla awukubonakaliswa kwamandla omhlaba ayisisekelo, akhethekile ngokusebenza endaweni yomoya.

Esikhathini somoya, okungukuthi, esikhathini lapho abantu abaningi bengathintana nalawa mandla ongqimbeni lomoya, imicabango kanye nezinzwa zithinta amayunithi womoya ngokuqondile, esikhundleni sokuba njengamanje emhlabeni amayunithi. Ukuhamba komoya amayunithi ngokuba ngezinga elihlukile kwelasemhlabeni amayunithi, balwa futhi banqobe amandla asetshenziswa umhlaba amayunithi.

Abantu enkathini yomoya babeyintuthuko kusukela kulabo benkathi yamanzi. Amandla ayesetshenziselwa ukuhamba ngokushesha emanzini ajwayela umoya, njengoba amandla asemhlabeni ayesejwayelane namanzi. Amandla okukhanya ayesetshenziswe ngezinga elilinganiselwe ekugijimeni nasekugxumeni emhlabathini nasekukhuphukeni emanzini. Ekuqaleni abambalwa basebenzisa amandla okukhanya nokundiza. Bese kuba mkhulu inombolo bajwayelana nokusetshenziswa, futhi ekugcineni abantu abazalwa bajwayelana ngokwemvelo nalamabutho asemoyeni.

Ekuqaleni kwenkathi yomoya abantu babehlala ezindlini ezisemhlabeni nasezindlini ezintantayo emanzini, kodwa uhlanga olubusayo lwaluhlala kakhulu emoyeni. Abanye abantu emhlabeni kwakungavamile ukundiza emoyeni futhi besaba ukwethemba ngokwabo kuwo; kodwa abantu benkathi yomoya babehlala ezindlini noma ezakhiweni ezinkulu ezisemoyeni. Bathatha ezinye zezinto zalezi emhlabeni; ezinye izinto ezizikhiphile noma zahlanganiswa emoyeni ngokwawo. Basusa isisindo ezintweni futhi bazibeka endaweni emoyeni lapho zilungiswa khona futhi zilinganiswe, ukuze zihlale zingaphazamiseki zize zikhishwe. Abantu bakufeza lokhu ngokugxila nokunamathisela ezakhiweni amandla okukhanya. Yayingekho imigwaqo. Izakhiwo zazimi emazingeni ahlukene emoyeni. Ayeqinile njenganoma yini esemhlabeni namuhla. Izingodo, amatshe nezinsimbi zazisetshenziswa, kodwa izisindo zazo zazisuswa futhi zigcinwe zisuswa ngokusetshenziswa kwensimbi ethile eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ekhishwa emoyeni noma imayini futhi yacwengwa emhlabeni. Le nsimbi yayiyi-conductor of the force of lightness, futhi yayisetshenziselwa ukunikeza ukukhanya ezintweni ezingaphili.

Abantu bathola ezabo ukudla kusukela izithelo, okusanhlamvu, nezilwane zomhlaba, futhi kusukela izinhlanzi nezinyoni. Okuningi kwabo ukudla badonsa emoyeni ngokwawo ngokuphefumula. Babenezitshalo ezazintanta emoyeni futhi zidonsa ukudla kwazo, kodwa izitshalo eziningi zazisezingadini ezixhumene nezindlu. Izimpahla zabo zokugqoka nezingubo zazenziwa ngezitshalo nasezinweleni zezilwane. Izimpaphe zazisetshenziswa kakhulu.

Zabo amafomu babengabantu, kodwa imizimba yabo yayidlula eyasemhlabeni neyamanzi ngokukhanya nobusha. Ukusebenzisa amandla asemoyeni kwakungokwemvelo. Izingane kwadingeka zivikelwe, kodwa ngokushesha zafunda ukulungisa ezazo isethi yengqondo kanye nokuphefumula kwabo ukuze bathinte amandla ongqimba lomoya. Lokhu bakufunda ngokushesha kunokuba izingane zifunda ukuhamba, njengoba nje nezinyoni zifunda ukundiza. Abantu basebenzisa la mabutho asemoyeni ngaphandle komzamo omkhulu. Bahambahamba, besebenza ezindlini zabo, balala emibhedeni; phezu kwamagalari amade ayentweza ngaphezu kwaphansi, futhi endaweni evulekile ayethembele ngokwemvelo ekulawuleni kwawo umoya. Zaphumula zantanta emoyeni njengoba nje umuntu enza emanzini. Babekwazi ukulawula imimoya futhi bavimbele noma babangele iziphepho; ngezinye izikhathi babenamaphiko noma izihlangu ezinamathiselwe ngemuva ukuze kube lula ukunyakaza. Babenemikhumbi yezindiza yokuhweba nokuhamba amabanga amade. Basebenzisa yonke imikhiqizo yomhlaba, izitshalo zawo, izinkuni, amatshe nezinsimbi, kodwa babengenayo imishini eyinkimbinkimbi. Izindiza zabo ezinkulu zaziqondiswa futhi ziqhutshwa ngamandla ka-helmsman yedwa.

Imidlalo yabo yayihlanganisa ikakhulukazi ukuhlukahluka kokundiza, nokudlala emoyeni. Izici eziphawulekayo zemidlalo yawo kwakuwukunyakaza okujabulisayo noma ukukhuphuka emoyeni okuhambisana nemisindo ekhangayo ekhishwa ukunyakaza ngokwako futhi kugcizelelwe izwi. Ukunyakaza nemisindo kukhiqize imibala, ukukhanya-imibala efana naleyo yothingo kunemibala ye-pigment. Imiphumela emangalisayo yalezi zibani yathuthukiswa lapho abantu abaningi behlanganyela ekuvumelaneni kokunyakaza, umsindo nombala ngesikhathi esifanayo. isikhathi. Kwaba nomdlalo womkhalambazo nokudansa emoyeni.

Ubuciko babo bugxile ekuculeni nasekuculeni. Phakathi kwezinsimbi ezisetshenziswayo kwakukhona uhlobo lwecilongo elinama-diaphragm ayenyakaziswa futhi ahlukaniswe yizwi lomuntu, ngaleyo ndlela kudaleke imisindo eqondile namananela emoyeni, kulandele imibala evame ukuvela. amafomu. Ayenezinsimbi ezinkulu ezimise okwengxenye yendilinga eyindilinga namamitha amaningi ububanzi, ezazikhipha umsindo ovumelanayo ngokunqamula umsindo. amayunithi of the ezine uthi ndaba ekuhambeni kwabo kanye nokuhlobanisa ukunyakaza komunye nomunye. Ngamandla alowo msindo, uma uqondiswe emhlabeni, abantu abawuzwayo balahlekelwa umbono wabo ukwesaba nesisindo, bahlwithwa futhi bakhuphukela emoyeni lapho bahlala khona isikhathi eside bengaphakathi kokuzwa yomsindo.

Kwesinye isikhathi kwaba khona ubungoti kwezesayensi phakathi kwabanye abantu. Yabo yokufunda yayikhathazeke kakhulu ngamazinga ahlukene okunyakaza kwezinhlobo ezine ze amayunithi in nature nezigaba zabo eziningi. Babazi ngamakhulu amanani ahlukene okunyakaza kwe amayunithi futhi yalungisa okunye kwalokhu ngokuhlanganisa, ukubopha kanye nokususa okunye kwalokhu amayunithi. Ngaleyo ndlela bavusa amandla, ikakhulukazi ongqimba lomoya, futhi babenza babusa emanzini nasemhlabeni. I Isizathu bagcina izindawo zabo zokuhlala emoyeni kwaba ukuthi lapho babekwazi ukufinyelela kalula futhi baqondise lamandla. Ngamandla anjalo baqinisa izindlu zabo nemizi yabo emoyeni, futhi bathola ukushisa; ukukhanya namandla ezindabeni zabo zasekhaya. Njengoba kwakungabantu abathile kuphela ababekwazi ukwenza lokhu, kwakushiyelwa eqenjini elithile labo umsebenzi kwaba, ukunaka ukunikezwa. Imfucuza ndaba yalahlwa ngaso leso sikhathi ngokuyibhidliza yaba ingxenye yayo amayunithi, noma ngokuhlanganisa lezi amayunithi kwezinye izinto.

Babenezilimi zokuveza ezabo imicabango. Babenamaphepha ento okwakungadluliswa kuyo ukuxhumana ukusuka komunye kuye komunye, kodwa lawa ayesetshenziswa njengezikhumbuzo kuphela, ngoba abantu babekwazi ukuxhumana ngokucabanga. Umsipha ndaba zobuchopho babo zathintana nemisinga eyenziwe ngu imicabango emhlabeni wenyama. Inkulumo nomcabango kwaqondana. Uma kukhona oqambe amanga kwavele kwavela ngaso leso sikhathi ngoba bese kubonakala ukuthi inkulumo nomcabango akuhambisani.

Izinto ababefuna ukuzibhala njengemininingwane, izindaba noma izincwadi, babezibhala ezingcwecweni, ezixhunywe nedamu ukuphila indiza yomhlaba wenyama. Ukubhalwa noma ukukhala kudluliselwe ku, kanjalo kwenza irekhodi elingunaphakade, ku ndaba wedamu. Abantu ababefuna ukwaziswa kugcinwe kanjalo, babengakuthola ngokuya esakhiweni somphakathi, lapho babethola khona izincwadi zezimpawu. Babe sebethinta ngethuluzi igama lophawu elikhethiwe epuletini elikhiqizayo elaliwaxhuma nerekhodi elihlala njalo lechibi, futhi kanjalo bathola ukwaziswa. Ngemva kokuthola isihloko kanye negama lophawu babekwazi ukuya phezu kwerekhodi ekhaya, inqobo nje uma benomshini wokwamukela nokwenza kabusha amarekhodi. Izincwadi nemitapo yolwazi yayingekho; babengadingeki.

Inkathi yomlilo yalandela inkathi yomoya futhi kancane kancane yakhula futhi yayibusa. Inkathi yomoya yaqhubeka nokuba khona ngesikhathi esifanayo. I abantu enkathini umlilo kwaba okufanayo ifomu futhi ufane nabantu bomoya. Kodwa bahluke ngokuphawulekayo ngokuthi kwakukhona kubo ubukhona amandla okwazi, okwabenza baphakama. Isici sabo somzimba esihlukile kwakuyiso ababencenga ngalo, bayala futhi baveze ngalo kwabanye imizwa futhi wacabanga.

Iminyaka iqale lapho abanye bomoya sebejwayelene nomlilo ocwebezelayo ndaba noma ukukhanya kwenkanyezi. Baba uyazi lobukhona bomlilo amayunithi ongqimbeni lomlilo. Ngemva kwalokho abanye kanye nabaningi bathola indlela yabo ekukhanyeni kwenkanyezi. Ngenombolo isikhathi ingabe bonke abantu bomoya bakhula baba abantu bomlilo. Enkathini yomlilo kwakukhona emhlabeni futhi ezinye izinkathi ezintathu nabantu babehlala emhlabeni, emanzini nasemoyeni futhi bexhumana omunye nomunye ngokuhamba nokuhweba. Abantu benkathi yomhlaba babenemizimba elungisiwe futhi babekelwe ukusetshenziswa kwaleyo eqinile amayunithi ezazisesimweni esibi nesiqinile. Abantu ababesesikhathini samanzi babenemizimba eyajwayela uketshezi oluqinile amayunithi; abantu beminyaka yomoya babenjalo ngoba babenemizimba ehambisana ne-airy-solid amayunithi, nabantu benkathi yomlilo babe uyazi kokukhazimulayo-okuqinile amayunithi nemizimba yabo yalungiswa kubo.

Umlilo amayunithi endizeni ebonakalayo kukhona ukukhanya kwenkanyezi. Ukukhanya kwenkanyezi akubonakali, nakuba ukujiya kwakho kuyinqwaba kukhiqiza imizimba yezinkanyezi. Esikhathini somlilo abantu babe uyazi kanye nokuxhumana ne amayunithi yokukhanya kwenkanyezi. Bawabona futhi babona ngawo, futhi ngawo babengasebenzisa amandla ongqimba olukhazimulayo-oluqinile, futhi ngawo amandla ezinye izingqimba ezintathu. Ukukhanya kwenkanyezi kusebenza elangeni. Abantu benkathi yomhlaba bangasebenzisa ukukhanya kwenkanyezi kuphela lapho bekusebenzisa phakathi nanjengokukhanya kwelanga, kodwa abantu benkathi yomlilo babekwazi ukusebenzisa ukukhanya kwenkanyezi ngaphandle kokuncika elangeni.

Ilanga liyisizinda samandla, isikhungo esinomoya ovundlile ongqimbeni olunomoya. Elangeni kukhipha ukukhanya kwelanga, okuyingxube yokukhazimula, enomoya, uketshezi nokuqinile amayunithi. I-Starlight isebenza emoyeni ndaba futhi iyimbangela kanye nokusekelwa okuyinhloko kwemisebenzi yokukhanya kwelanga. Ukukhanya kwelanga kubangela amayunithi ukuze usebenze njenge nature amandla agcina ukuphila phezu koqweqwe lomhlaba futhi inkathi yamanje eyakha ngayo impucuko yayo. I-Earth crust, okuyimvula yokukhanya kwelanga okuphindwe kane, ivikela izingxenye zesethi ngayinye amayunithi ngakho-ke igcina futhi inikeze okudingekayo ukuze kugcinwe imisebenzi emhlabeni. I amayunithi babe nature amandla njengoba esondela esibukweni soqweqwe lomhlaba. Kude nesikrini amayunithi ningenzi njengalamandla. Lawa mandla akhiqiza ukukhanya, ukushisa, amandla, isizukulwane kanye nokubola phakathi kwebanga elithile kuphela. Ngakho uma indikimba yelanga ebizwa ngokuthi ilanga ingekho phakathi kwalolo hlobo lomhlaba, ayikhiqizi le miphumela. Ngaphezu kwalokho kuyadingeka ukuthi uqweqwe lomhlaba lunikeze umhlaba amayunithi ukunikeza okuthile ukukhiqiza le miphumela. Enkathini yomhlaba abantu abakwazi ukuba nokukhanya nokushisa ngaphandle uma lezi zimo ezintathu zigcwaliseka, kodwa esikhathini sabo somlilo abantu babengathola okulingana nokukhanya, ukushisa nogesi ngaphandle kokuncika ekuhlolweni, ekukhanyeni kwelanga nasekukhanyeni kwelanga. isenzo soqweqwe oluqinile ekuthumeleni amayunithi ukuhlangabezana nokukhanya kwelanga okungenayo.

Izindawo zokuhlala zomlilo zazisemoyeni, emanzini nasemhlabeni, kodwa zazikhona uyazi futhi basebenzise njengomthombo wabo umlilo okhona emoyeni, emanzini nasemhlabeni. Babehlala emiphakathini okungeyabo, futhi benemibuthano yabo, nakuba babehamba phakathi kwabanye. Uma bekwenza lokhu babevele babonakale noma bazizwe bengcono ngenxa yethonya elihambisana nabo namandla asemehlweni abo. Babengadla noma yikuphi ukudla kwesilwane noma kwemifino noma baphile ngoketshezi noma ngokuphefumula kuphela. Uma befuna ukwelula ukuphila kwabo, babengakudli ukudla okuqinile noma okuwuketshezi. Imizimba yabo yayiyinyama, kodwa babekwazi ukwenza izinto abanye ababengenakuzenza ngeyabo.

Bazibandakanya kwezolimo, ezentengiselwano, ezomakhenikha nezobuciko. Babengavezela umhlaba izinto laba ababengenakukwazi. Benza okufanayo nasemanzini nasemoyeni. Abantu basemoyeni bafinyelela esimweni esiphakeme kakhulu ngoba labo benkathi yomlilo babehlala phakathi kwabo futhi babasize.

Kwezolimo babekwazi ukubona okwenzeka ezitshalweni. Babekwazi ukubona imisebenzi yembewu nezimpande, ukuthi izitshalo zakuthola kanjani ukondliwa, ukuthi zazikwaba futhi zikhule kanjani, futhi zazikwazi ukuqondisa intuthuko ngendlela ezifisa ngayo. Bahlanganisa izitshalo futhi bakhiqiza izithelo ezintsha, imifino kanye nezinhlamvu.

Ekuqaleni kwezinkathi zomlilo laba bantu bakha imishini yokumba, yokwakha, yokukhanyisa kanye namandla okukhiqiza. Njengoba bethuthuka bazisebenzisela abambalwa noma bengasebenzisi lutho, nakuba babesakha imishini yabantu ababesemuva kakhulu. Basiza umhlaba kanye nabantu basemanzini ekugezeni imisele emikhulu emhlabeni nasemhlabeni futhi benza imifula emikhulu yamanzi. Basebenzisa imishini emikhulu ukusika ngaphansi kwamanzi nokudonsa. Babekubona konke okwenzeka ekujuleni okukhulu futhi baqondise imisebenzi ngokufanele.

Ekuphakameni kweminyaka yomlilo, abaphambili phakathi kwabantu bomlilo babedinga imizimba yabo kuphela ukuze bafeze lokho ababekufisa. Kwasetshenziswa iminwe emine, umunwe wokukhomba owomlilo, umunwe ophakathi ube wumoya, owesithathu ube ngowamanzi nomunwe omncane owomhlaba. Ngeminwe yesandla sobunxele babezwa; kanye nalabo be kwesokudla isandla baqondise umfudlana we amayunithi we Izakhi. Bangabhidliza futhi bahlakaze noma bakhe futhi bakhe isakhiwo sezinto eziqinile ngamandla aqondiswa yizo kwesokudla izandla. Izithupha zazisetshenziselwa ukuzwa, noma ukuqondisa, ukuhlanganisa noma ukugcizelela imifudlana. Izitho emizimbeni yazo zaziyimithombo yamandla, futhi izinzwa ezixhumene nezinhlelo ezithintekayo zazithinta amandla. Amandla asemhlabeni abawabiza, asetshenziswa futhi aqondiswe ngezinhlelo zabo zokugaya kanye nomuzwa iphunga. Amandla amanzi angena ekuhlanganisweni nomhlaba ayewalawula ngezitho zesimiso sokujikeleza kwawo kanye nomqondo Ukunambitha. Umoya ababewubusa ngokulawula amabutho asemoyeni ayesebenza ngaphandle emoyeni, emanzini nasemhlabeni futhi adlulela ngaphakathi ezimisweni zawo zokuphefumula, ezidlula ezimisweni zokujikeleza kwegazi nezokugaya ukudla. Inkulumo yayingamandla ahlanganisa izifunda ezine, njengoba ukukhanya kwelanga kuhlanganisa izinhlobo ezine zokukhanya. Ngokuthinta ukukhanya kwenkanyezi ekukhanyeni kwelanga bavumelanisa futhi balawula amandla kwenye Izakhi. Ukukhanya kwenkanyezi kwakukhona kuzo zonke ezinye. Bayisebenzise ngokusebenzisa izinhlelo zabo zokuzala kanye nomqondo we ukubona.

Imizimba yenyama yalaba abaphambili phakathi kwabantu bomlilo ingadlula kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yomhlaba nganoma yisiphi isivinini esifunwayo. Babekwazi ukudlulisa imizimba yabo nganoma iyiphi into ebonakalayo, cha ndaba ukuthi ukuminyana kwayo. Angavela ezindaweni eziningana ngesikhathi esisodwa isikhathi, cha ndaba zikude kangakanani izindawo. Lokhu bakwenza ngokubona lapho befisa ukuba khona futhi, ngokusebenzisa i-radiant-solid ndaba, babekhona futhi bangena kuwo wonke ama-grosser angenele ndaba. Laba bantu bomlilo babekwazi ukubona futhi bezwe noma yikuphi ngokusebenzisa okuqinile ndaba.

Umlilo amayunithi ziyafana yonke indawo isikhathi. Laba bantu baxhuma umlilo amayunithi emizimbeni yabo ngomlilo amayunithi ongqimbeni lomhlabathi. Kukhona lezi mlilo amayunithi kuthinte umoya amayunithi lawa amanzi amayunithi futhi lezi zaveza izimanga emhlabeni amayunithi. Abantu bomlilo basebenzise owesine dimension, ukuba khona, ngenxa yobuntu babo uyazi futhi ujwayelene ne-radiant-solid amayunithi. Lokhu kwakusho ukuthi bangadlula, babe phakathi noma umsebenzi ngomlilo, umoya, amanzi noma umhlaba amayunithi. Lapho umzimba wabo wenyama ufakwa esigabeni ngokukhazimula-okuqinile amayunithi-okwenziwa ngokugxilisa umqondo we ukubona kwezinye zazo—yavela kanyekanye ezindaweni lapho laba bantu abavelele babefuna ukubonakala khona. Azikho izithiyo ezingenelayo phakathi kwalabo abangasebenzisa i-radiant-solid amayunithi nezindawo abafisa ukubonwa kuzo. Bahlala bebonakala kulezi zindawo ezahlukene inqobo nje uma beqhubeka nokucabanga, ukuzwa nokuzibona belapho. Izidumbu zabo zazisendaweni eyodwa kuphela, kodwa basusa ukungenelela amayunithi of ndaba futhi kanjalo yabonakala ngesikhathi esifanayo isikhathi kuzo zonke izindawo ababefisa ukubonakala kuzo. Ngenxa yamandla abo ukubona, okungekho ndaba babekwazi ukuvimbela, babona, ngesikhathi esifanayo isikhathi, zonke izindawo lapho kanye nabantu ababebonwa ngabo. Bezinganyamalala ngesikhathi ezifisa ngaso. Lokhu bakwenza ngokususa emizimbeni yabo ukuthintana nesigaba somlilo amayunithi othintana naye okwenza kubonakale.

Babekwazi ukuhlola noma yikuphi iseli noma isitho esisemzimbeni womuntu futhi sitshele ukusetshenziswa ebesibekwe kukho, futhi sichaze izindlela ezifanele ukwenza ushintsho. Babona ngaso leso sikhathi imbangela kanye nekhambi lesifo. Bakhulumisana bodwa wacabanga kanye nenkulumo. Ibanga lalingelona isithiyo kubo kokuzwa omunye nomunye noma yimuphi umsindo phakathi nature. Babengathola amarekhodi athile ezenzakalo ezidlule ngokuwabuka noma kokuzwa kusuka ezindaweni ezikhazimulayo noma ezinomoya we ndaba futhi ngakho finyelela kude ifomu indiza yomhlaba wenyama.

Kade bengu imithetho lokho kwavimbela ukusetshenziswa kwala mandla ngaphezu kwemingcele ethile. Abantu benkathi yomlilo abakwazanga ukuphazamisa umthetho we wacabanga ngaphandle kokulimala okukhulu kakhulu kubo. Amandla abo afinyelela yonke into ezindaweni ezine zesimo esiqinile sendiza ebonakalayo nature-side, kodwa kwakukhona izinto eziningi ngokwazo njengoba abenzi, abangazange baphumelele futhi bengaphumelelanga njengesizwe, nakuba abanye abantu babekwazi. Lokhu kuntuleka kobuchule kwaletha ukwehla kwabo kanye nokushabalala kwenkathi yomlilo.

Okuphezulu iphuzu yenkathi yomlilo emakwe futhi ephakeme kakhulu iphuzu emoyeni, emanzini nasemhlabeni kuyaguga. Njengoba inkathi yomlilo yayishabalala, enye nenye yawohloka futhi yashabalala ngamadigri. Owokugcina owabhidlika kwakuyinkathi yomhlaba. Kwaqedwa yizinhlekelele. Umhlaba omnyama waphumelela. Kulokho okwakuhlala amaqaba okwakuyizinsalela eziwohlokayo zeminyaka emine, ababengenawo ngisho inkumbulo, noma abasanda kuxoshwa emhlabeni ongaphakathi. Kuphela lapha nalaphaya kwasala amasiko abanye abantu beminyaka emine ezinganekwaneni ezisontekile zezidalwa ezingaphezu kwemvelo ezinamandla amakhulu.
