The Condor and Eagle
Many of the indigenous cultures of Central and South America believe in “The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle”. The wording differs from culture to culture but the basic premise is this. That we are entering a New Age. It says that long ago human society took two different paths; the Condor (representing heart, intuition and mysticism) and the Eagle (representing the brain, rational and material). The two paths would converge and the Eagle would drive the Condor to the brink of extinction. Then a new era would begin, the Condor and Eagle would have the opportunity to reunite and fly the same sky. If the Condor and Eagle accept the opportunity they would create an amazing offspring that has never been seen before. A combination of indigenous knowledge and technology, a perfect balance. We, as a species would evolve into a new level of consciousness. Pretty heady stuff to be sure.
I think this is also possible on a personal level as well. Most of us are Eagles most of the time, choosing to neglect the Condor. Sometimes something will shock us into embracing the Condor. An near death experience, illness either personally or to someone close, falling in love, it could be anything. The point is try to find the balance. The tagline on this page says “Listen to the voices in your head”. I know that if I would follow my “gut” or intuition more I would be much better off. I hope I can have the strength to follow my intuition more and not overthink everything.
