The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor tells of two great paths of humanity. The Eagle represents the way of the mind-technology, intellect, power, and material progress. The Condor represents the way of the heart-spirituality, intuition, community, and harmony with nature. The prophecy says that long ago these paths separated, and for many generations the Eagle's path became dominant. During this time, humanity achieved great advances but also experienced imbalance, conflict, and disconnection from the natural world. A time would come, however, when the Eagle and the Condor would have the chance to fly together again. Their reunion symbolizes the restoration of balance between mind and heart, science and spirituality, human achievement and respect for nature.
