White Lama Studios joyfully presents, for the benefit of The McCollum Foundation.The Eagle and the Condor Prophecy
The Eagle and the Condor is an ancient prophecy that speaks of human societies splitting into two paths—that of the Eagle and that of the Condor. The Eagle and the Condor prophecy of the Amazon, which originates in different Indigenous cultures throughout this region, speaks of long ago when human societies split into two separate paths—that of the Eagle and that of the Condor. Some versions of this prophecy state that the path of the Eagle is the path of the mind, the industrial, and the masculine, while the path of the Condor is the path of heart, intuition, and the feminine. The Eagle and Condor prophecy says that the 1490s would begin a 500-year period during which the Eagle people would become so powerful that they would nearly drive the Condor people out of existence.
The prophecy says that during the next 500-year period, beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, fly in the same sky, and create a new level of consciousness for humanity. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, so it's up to humanity to activate this potential and ensure that a new consciousness can arise. Traditionally, the Eagle and Condor prophecies are shared orally, so there are many different versions, each unique to the Indigenous nations and communities from which they come.
