The Dongria Kondh

If you respect the beliefs of others.

If you believe a God’s existence is eternal.

If you think that what is sacred must be preserved.

If you think that nature must be preserved.
And even if you don’t.

I encourage you to see the following video.

Never surrender

Never surrender to those who harm you.

Never surrender to those who hate you.

Never surrender to those you fear.

Never surrender to the unknown.

Never give up on your dreams, your ideals, your beliefs.

Never let others change the path that has been made for you.

Do not allow them to use it, it is yours.

Never surrender to those who show you what’s real or not.

Never surrender to anyone, even if you are certain that they are better than you.

But,

Surrender to the one you love. At all cost.

We are what we were

There’s a lot of things in this world. Things we see every day. Things that have an incredible impact on our daily lives.

Television and computers.

Sports.

Politicians.

Electricity.

Movies.

Computers.

Cars.

Money.

But these things weren’t there at the beginning. What was there?

Friendship.

Love.

Hate.

Sadness.

Fear.

We must not forget our roots. We must remain humans. We are what we were, centuries ago.

Dream #39 – Ghost child

” This time, I was at my best friend’s house. His father was there. We were supposed to go to some meeting. It was very cold outside, so we all wore heavy clothes. As I was about to leave the house and follow them, I had the feeling that something was behind me, so I looked back and I saw a fading silhouette of a young girl. I could barely see her and her words would only come in waves so it was very hard for me to understand what she would say. I finally understood that she was four years old and that she felt lost. I went outside to tell my best friend about this ghost, and he told me that he was aware of her presence, and that I shouldn’t talk to her, because she would trick me and harm me. When I came back, I tried to ignore her, but she became aggressive and evil. I went outside once again, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to follow me, since she was bound to remain inside this house forever. “

Dream #38 – Hiding from the enemy

The patient had yet another dream about a futuristic war. The recurrent themes of war, bears and demons seem to be almost omnipresent in the recent dreams of our patient. These elements appear to be haunting him as he is trying to understand their meaning.

” I remember being in a house with many civilians. I was the only soldier around besides a couple of men. I was in a hospital, but it was in a very poor state. We were in a desert area. The hospital’s windows were broken and the doors had been removed. It appears the hospital had been subject to a military siege. I spoke to the civilians, warning them that the enemy would soon take over our remaining defenses. Everybody hid where they could while I was looking through a window. A heavy sand storm was occurring and I could barely see anything. Suddenly, I saw about 10 armed men. They all wore torn clothes but I could clearly see that they all wore white and brown. Many of them had black skin although some of them were caucasian. They spoke an unknown language. I didn’t want them to notice us, so I hid like the remaining people. “

Dream #37 – Dentist

” I was in a waiting room. I was supposed to go to the dentist. I felt like I had been waiting for a very long time. Finally, after a moment, it was my turn, and I entered a room. I sat on a chair and somebody gave me a couple of pills which I swallowed. I do not remember anything else. “

Dream #36 – Bear hunt

I had yet another dream with bears. Many men were hunting bears. I heard gunshots so I went towards the direction of the sounds and I found three men firing at a black bear. The bear was wounded. Another, taller bear was there, trying to scare the hunters away, but it wasn’t working. I had to fight with the three men to prevent them from murdering this bear. They eventually ran away, but when I looked back, the two bears had vanished.

Dream #35 – Spirit temple

” I was alone in a forest. It was nighttime once again. The trees were tall and dark. A very thick, murky fog was everywhere. I could barely see the ground. I walked in this forest for a while until I found what appeared to be a very ancient temple built eons ago. Deep green grass covered most of it, but I could see a Babylonian and Mesopotamian design to it. My attention was drawn towards my left side and I saw many white spirits floating. I would describe them as elongated, blurry diamonds hovering. They spoke to me in unison and said that I could free them if I would build a monument in their honor. At this very moment, my mother came to me and I explained her that I had to enter the temple in order to learn more about these spirits. She stayed outside while I ventured inside.

 

The temple was in a poor state and what remained of it gave me the impression that it was a not a temple but a mausoleum. I could see many human skulls engraved in both stone and gold. I went to the second floor and saw a moving, repulsing force of darkness. It’s very hard to describe it. I could see stone pillars orbiting around it. What was in the center was a grey mass of clouds and smoke. The being saw me and came towards me. It pushed me back with a violent wind and returned to its initial position only to strike again. Every time it would attack, I could see an evil being’s face through the cloud, blowing the wind against me. I ultimately fell on the ground and when I stood back up, the being was nowhere to be seen.

 

I kept on advancing in this temple. There were many pillars, all in a rectangular shape. I discovered a very large room full of instruments made of stone, metal and wood. I couldn’t understand their utility. I saw a pillar with some sort of machine attached to its base. The machine would spit paper and swallow it back at great speeds. I took one paper and all I could see was the face of a very old woman and some writings I couldn’t read. I put the paper back into the machine and went for a corridor. Just before entering the corridor, I saw two plaques on the wall: One jade green, the other ruby red. Both plaques were on a canvas made of pure gold. I entered the corridor and found a man who introduced himself as being an ” occult scientist “. I saw that behind him there was some sort of devilish being, a red dog with a human face, more precisely a woman’s face. It was in a cage and it was obvious to me that the occult scientist was studying it. The dog spoke evil to me and acted very aggressively, striking its own cage, trying to escape, but I didn’t fear it. The scientist didn’t fear it either. He introduced me to his daughter. I told them about the cloud and smoke being and they told me it was a very powerful being. They didn’t know if it was a god or a being sent by a god, but they knew he was the guardian of the dead. “

Dream #34 – Free the animals

” In this dream, I was with you. It all happened during some sort of holiday. There were fireworks and happy people. I went to a very large house with many people. Some of them were people I knew and others were strangers. One of these strangers told me they had animals in cages in another room and that these animals were doomed. The animals would be part of some sort of ritual. I didn’t like this idea, so I asked for your assistance and we both went to that room and we opened all the cages, freeing all the animals. Bears, raccoons, wolves, foxes… Many animals ran away. We escaped in your car and ran away from this city. “

Dream #33 – Mouse

” I had a very short and peculiar dream last night. I was outside and it was very cold. I saw a baby mouse on the ground. It was dying. The mouse was also deformed. It only had one eye and three legs. It had very little fur on its body. I went inside my house, but after a few seconds, I came back outside and found the mouse once again. It wasn’t moving anymore. I took it and as I held it inside my palm, the mouse regained its life. The animal was still very weak, so I gave it some food and water. During the whole dream, the mouse appeared to be aware of my generosity.

 

Suddenly, I realized that there were cats in my house. I didn’t want the cats to kill this mouse, so I ordered my siblings to keep them away from it. The mouse remained in my hands during the whole dream. “

Dream #32 – Languages

” In my last dream, I met once again alien beings. They were small and looked like little children. Their skin was very similar to olives and they had large, curious eyes. I was not scared because it was obvious to me that these beings were stricly focused on learning and discovering. They led me inside a small artificial cave with many plants. There was a lot of moss on the ground, walls and ceiling. I saw many grey stones with glowing blue symbols. A deep purple light was illuminating the cave, but I couldn’t find its origin. One of the aliens showed me a particular stone on the left. The symbol was a planet with multiple halos around it. I touched it and some sort of knowledge was immediately transmitted to me. This stone was about languages and communication. I understood that all the stones in this cave held knowledge on different subjects: astronomy, medicine, nature preservation, etc…

 

Something happened, however. I sensed a malevolent spirit around us. It took control over me, commanded my body to act aggressively, and the alien beings were very scared and ran away from me. I was very angry at this spirit and I fought with it, travelling from one dream world to another. After a brutal fight, I ended in nothingness. My body was floating in a black world. It was an empty world. I felt reassured, but I also felt that this evil spirit was still out there and that it would attack me again in further dreams. “

Dream #31 – Attack Squad

” This short dream was very vivid. I was older than I am right now. I was a squad leader in a war. We had been conquering a very important headquarter and the enemy was vanquished in the area. One of my soldiers brought a map of the land and I had many other men around me. I believe it was some sort of futuristic war, but our weapons reflected those we see today in the military. The map was full of very useful information. I designated a bunker on the map. Me and my officers had to reach this bunker before the enemy would regroup. We were very uplifted and impetuous. We were proud and the morale of my soldiers was very high. I told them that we would celebrate once this bunker would be taken care of. “

Lack of balance

Today we discussed with our patient. We once again came back to his favorite subject, which is nature. He explained his love for nature in a deeper manner.

” When I am within nature, I am both lost and found. I am confused and, yet, I know exactly what to do and when to do it. Sometimes I feel like I own this forest, its trees and its animals because I am the smartest living being and that my species controls this planet… But a second later I believe that nature owns me and that I am part of it and that it is tolerating the humans until now.

  

I saw entire forests being cut down. I saw empty, desecrated mountains. I saw the raping of nature. I don’t know if it’s necessary… I always thought that some being made the trees just for us. When I think about the many properties of trees, I can’t but wonder if something put them there so we could evolve with their help. The trees are everywhere. You can burn them to cook food or to escape from the cold. You can use them as a construction material… And the leaves of the trees give us this healthy oxygen. The trees are practically everywhere, as if this being wanted to make sure we would always have them to build anew.

 

I encountered many wild animals during my life. I’ve seen things others will never see, which is a shame. Our ancestors used to connect with these animals. We would hunt them and feed on them, and sometimes they would hunt and feed on us. But nowadays, most of humanity lives isolated from these animals. Now the animals are lost, because we let them behind. We took their trees, so they cannot hide anymore. Sometimes the predators cannot find the animals they used to prey upon because of this.

 

My grandfather’s friend, an old indian, once told me about one of his many adventures in the wilderness in the beginning of the 20th century. He remembered encountering a wolf at the peak of its life. The wolf was strong, tall and massive. The indian, who was only 8 years of age, defied it by standing straight with his arms wide open. His life was in danger, for the lone wolf was strong enough to kill him. The wolf stood on its four legs for a minute, then sat. After a long moment of silence, the wolf turned its back on the boy and left.

 

I’ve never experienced such a thing. Nowadays, the wolves are very rarely seen. They are weak and pitiful. Their fur is wet, dirty and lacks vitality. They hunt mice or other little critters because the men hunt the moose and deers down. These large animals used to be able to live long enough to be sick and weaker, but not anymore. Before this, the wolves would hunt the weakest… Men do not give them the time. The men even hunt the babies now because they fear they will not be able to encounter another moose or deer during their hunting trip. The men also hunt the strongest, most healthy animals. This results in the weaker ones surviving and reproducing, making other generations of even weaker animals. I do not like what I see in the future when I think about this.

 

I don’t know when we lost our way. In fact, I don’t even know if we lost it. Maybe it’s part of this evolution process. Maybe these animals are destined to die out one day or another. Maybe. But when I encounter an animal, I don’t feel like we respect them. They are naive. They do not know anything. Some of them trust us and we deceive them. “

Dream #30 – Girl in the mirror

” I woke up today with a very high feeling of sadness. In my last dream, I was looking at myself in the mirror. I looked away for a moment, and when I looked back at the mirror, I met a girl. It was as if I knew her in my dream. It was as if I was deeply in love with her and that I was finally reuniting with her. Now that I am awake, I am totally confused, for I do not know who this person is. I told her that I missed her and that I wanted to see her again. She refused. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I was crying. I wanted this girl to love me so much. I still do not understand what happened during this dream. I’ve met a lot of people in my dreams, but never like this. This person was very real to me. Her face is still there, in my mind, and I fear that it will never go away. I will try to find her back in my future dreams. “
