The Eagle and Condor

One of my favorite prophecies comes from the Andes Indians. It is called the Eagle and Condor prophecy. What might happen if we come together beyond our differences, putting past wounds behind us, with the express purpose of creating a new world together?

I believe it is the only way we are going to thrive in years to come. And we CAN do this. Just think of this prophecy. It might help you believe….   (I would really like to credit the artist of the picture here, by the way. I don’t know the name of the artist. If anyone does, please let me know)

The prophecy of the Eagle and Condor invites us to see this time in history as an opportunity to regain balance and work together with our brothers and sisters of differing worldviews, to co-create a new world.

The prophecy says that every five-hundred-year period is called a pachacutic. It was predicted that around the year 1500, the people from the Eagle world—the modern, logical, technological, mind-based world—would dominate the Condor people who represent the more spiritual, land based, non-linear, heart-based world. As we know, many civilizations around the world experienced this at that time.

It is said, during this new pachakutic, around the year 2000, the Eagle and Condor people have the opportunity to “remember” that they are each other and rejoin in a way that creates synergy between their two worlds.

After developing excellence in their different domains of head and heart, they can come back and nourish each other and the world into a new possible future that works for all.
