Eagle and Condor Prophecy

As told by John Perkins, founder of Pachamama Alliance, who received it from the Achuar Elders of the Ecuadorian Amazon, the 2000 year old Eagle and Condor prophecy speaks of long ago when human societies split into two different paths—that of the Eagle and that of the Condor. The path of the Condor is the path of heart, intuition, and the feminine. The path of the Eagle is the path of the mind, the industrial, and the masculine.

The Eagle and Condor prophecy said that the arrival of Europeans in the Americas in 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. This can be seen in the conquering of the Americas and the killing and oppression of indigenous peoples in the subsequent 500 years—up to and including today.

The prophecy also says that beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to fly in the same sky and bring together the heart and the mind, art and science, male and female, 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 is allowed to arise.
