Wow, Looking back and this video is quite amazing. Deeper meaning we can derive from it.
Bless Anna Breytenbach strong with the Spirit, she understands the green language, the language of the birds. The common tongue before babel… The tongue we first use when we are babies our native language. The language PROVES we are equal and life speaks through all of it’s creation…
in the video notice how Yo Olson is speaking of the Diablo:
“The whole atmosphere there was a vibe of aggression, a “I hate you and I will kill you” attitude, and you know, the one encounter I had with him sent me to the hospital—one bite, one week. He’s a dangerous cat, very, very dangerous. He’s hostile towards me and towards everybody else.”
Than he mentions this:
“I honestly do not believe that an animal can talk to a human or communicate with a human. I’ve had animals my whole life. We give them commands, we give them instructions, and they do as we instruct at the basic level, but I am very skeptical to think that an animal like Diablo can communicate with humans.”
We give them commands
we give them instructions
they do as we instruct at the basic level
by the way he’s speaking of it as there’s little respect for the animals (even if he had them all his life)
Now Anna’s approach is totally 180.
“The minute he saw Ana, he calmed down and let her kneel right outside and look at him. This beautiful black leopard that you’ve asked us to communicate with is very overwhelmed by his new surroundings, having come from a very cramped and stressful place.”
She’s understanding of this being’s conditions…
“Diablo. He wants that name changed because he doesn’t like the associations with it—the blackness, the darkness, the diabolical.”
Again showing (Spirit) is conscious deserves the respect you would give to for example your mother or an elder etc.
“And when asking him about his past before coming here, he shows concern for two young cubs that were next to him. He’s asking what happened to them with a great sense of care and concern.”
The Love and care for other life is evident to spirit even if she feels threaten one of the first things she asks is of these cubs.
while the humans:
“We actually forgot about that. When we went to fetch him, there was so much excitement about bringing him back here, it actually slipped my mind.”
elated excitement
“Also reassured him that you have no demands of him here, that you’re quite happy to not make any physical demands of him or any expectation for display or interaction. That you’re really willing to let him be how he wants to be, and that’s given him an enormous sense of relief.”
again this theme of respect and appreciation from Anna is consistent.
“He said it was the first time that someone has directly expressed to him verbally appreciation for who he really is, not how I see who to be, and that really surprised him. It shows me an image of literally stopping in his tracks, surprised at that sense of a wall of appreciation coming towards him. He is so relieved that nothing’s being demanded of him here. He’s just so relieved, like his weight is lifted off his shoulders. And when he was grunting, he said he was saying “thank you” for the thank yous. So each thank you he was getting, he was saying thank you back.”
Wow just so beautiful, So much warmth when i heard this again fell upon me. “He said it was the first time that someone has directly expressed to him verbally appreciation” would never say the same about someone giving him commands or instructions. We see again how the minds communicate with each other,
“It shows me an image of literally stopping in his tracks, surprised at that sense of a wall of appreciation coming towards him.”
wall of appreciation coming towards him. appreciation, appreciation, appreciation!.
The man was in awe as he stepped out of his disconnected way of thinking about the whole situation, that love and appreciation he got now for Spirit made him cry they were both healing.
It’s two different animals; it’s two totally, totally different personalities. We had a snarling cat, angry at everything, upset about being here, hating humans, hating us for having him here, you know, ready to kill in an instant, to this relaxed black leopard that’s lying on top of his log in his shelter. It’s this attitude of “you recognize me for who I am now,”
It is that love that changed the DNA of the creation(s).
Now I’m Looking back at this NFT because i was looking into the Eyes of the Panther and was just struck with this intense appreciation from both ends, it was so much that in my mind came rite of passage. As if i was being tested but also i remember these creations are alive… Just in a different form than what we are used to ‘seeing’ the same lessons apply here and Dream has been dropping hints over the years.
