World Peace And Legacy Of B. Wongar

tragedy and death of the king before he died, disappeared out of the
court mail archive.”
This dream seemed to be important enough to be written in the
Jung’s Red Book, as well as the events that preceded and followed it,
outlining the vast spiritual scope of the Božić family. Wanting to con-
vince myself of unusual Milosav`s story-telling credibility I have ad-
dressed my inquiry to Sreten who, on December 21, 2010, informed me,
among other things, that: “father dreamt this somewhere after 1930 as
far as I know. He was concerned about the war repeats which probably
was caused by great suffering he had gone through in the war 1912 –
1918. In one of his dreams he saw the king aleksandar’s assassination,
while in the other one he saw the king inspecting the army while his
epaulet was half cut – insight that the Kingdom will tear apart and
the “land across” (Vojvodina, northern part of Serbia) will secede. We
belonged to the Danube banovina at the time and it was not possible
to imagine secession.
In my autobiography I have not mentioned his dreams because it
was written for English readers. Mentioning this could look like some
kind of superstitious rural environment where I had grown up. I have
limited my work to our traditional epic poetry which has art recogni-
tion. While I have lived in the village I took care of livestock. Even
today I live with a pack of wild dogs – dingoes. The animals have per-
fect memory, as well as a premonition of what can happen to them. The
science has not discovered the heart of this matter but if such genuine
instinct is in existence in animals than maybe this instinct appeared
with my father as his dreams. It’s a pity I haven’t thought about this
while he was alive.”
It seems that there is no need to suspect the inscription by Milosav
Božic. However, a dream in the Enlightened age of modern culture
is not accepted as a comprehensive source. Božić, being fully aware
of this, doesn’t wish to create an additional clash with ruling force
of the world. Crucial misunderstanding between native and colonial
cultures runs just on the border line that separates dream and reality.
Christian missionaries left numerous inscriptions of their own rage
because native people make all important decisions based on dreams
not rational thinking. It was dream rather than social hierarchy that
served as a basis for all decision making; it is not surprising why native
people had built and developed completely different communities.
Since native people rely on individuals as the sources of symbols
found in their dreams, they are unable to identify how often they
refuse to obey rational orders and explanations of the colonizers
when they make decisions. It remains out of reach for the conquerors
making practically impossible for them to truly colonize native people.
By exterminating native people, conquerors actually wanted to uproot
dreams and man’s orientation towards free source of self-conscious-
ness. Today our dreams are successfully colonized by visual media
which agonizes our subconscious though artificial images, although
even that kind of colonization is of a limited scope.
No doubt Stevan Božić knows how to fight for the truth of a dream.
The dream has no past or future; it includes life in the eternal present.
Through his dream he does make an effort to interfere with historical
world, but he is met with indifference because these two spheres can
hardly co-exist in our rationally subjugated world. He did not prevent
the assassination of the king and he couldn’t change the course of the
events that followed. History, as always, turned against the one who
had tried to change it based solely on a dream.
Stevan Božić made another desperate step attempting to change
the course of history after the Second World War. When city of Kragu-
jevac, in the Central Serbia, was liberated, new authorities organized
mass rally and invited Stevan to address the citizens. “father thanked
russians for the liberation of the city and said when the national
Parliament in Belgrade started to work the first law to pass should be
death sentence repeal since too many of us Serbs were killed in the war.
This turned on arguing and disagreement among the audience so the
general in charge dispelled the gathering. Several weeks later, father
was declared to be a peasant-enemy.” Such attitude is not welcomed by
any authorities and drumhead-trials and mass death sentences were
prepared all over Serbia for the sake of glory of the new power who
won the war. Did Stevan foresee events? Was it something he saw in his
dreams? regardless what was the source of his vision, his discontent
provoked the authorities and led to the three years of imprisonment.
Stevan’s indigenous liberal idea of civil rights could not be ac-
cepted in totalitarian society. He sees that these colonialists of ideol-
ogy, under the veil of liberation, will do the same as all conquerors do
with defeated people. He sees villagers all over the country murdered
with no trials because of the revenge or prosaic property robbery. Mass
murders, like ideological plague, spread all over the country under the
guise of social justice. The ideology of chosen race propagandized by
german nazism was simply changed with the idea of the new super-
man, Marshal Tito, who was allotted nietzsche’s attributes of omnis-
