ISS - Second Inka Prophecy

Known by Indian Nations across the Americas as the Reuniting of Eagle and Condor, the Second Prophecy foresees southern Condor and northern Eagle flying toward a long awaited reunion. It is said that the vision of the great Spirit Allies flying wing to wing signals the end of a time of separation and conflict and the beginning of healing, reconciliation, and empowerment for the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. Tribal Elders say Indian brothers and sisters will come together with loving power to emphasize their common heritage and shared values. Significantly for all of us, they say that not only will the ancient traditions and values bring healing for decimated Indian Nations but also for modern western culture at large.

At one time Eagle of the North and Condor of the South flew wing to wing. At one time trade flourished among the indigenous people of the high desert of what is now known as North America and the Indian nations of Central and South America. At one time great nations communicated with mountaintop bonfires across thousands of miles. While there were great battles and cruelty among various tribes and nations, generally men and women lived in harmony with Mother Earth and the natural world of Animal People, Plant People, Stone People, and Spirit People.

The coming of the white man brought a dark era of disruption, alienation, powerlessness, and loss of traditional values in and among the Indian Nations. The conquerors sought to settle on Indian lands and gradually assimilate the native peoples into European culture and religion. In the process the Indian religion, culture, and livelihood, and in some cases even dignity, were nearly extinguished. Eagle and Condor were wounded and estranged.

Reunion of the great winged Spirit Allies and the resultant re-empowerment of the indigenous population have been anticipated by Indian Nations for centuries. Reconciliation has been prepared for quietly across the two vast Western hemispheric continents. Now, say the Inka Elders and their Second Prophecy, the times are changing.

The Eagle and the Condor are approaching. Those with vision can glimpse the grand birds soaring majestically above deserts, mountains, villages, and cities. The great winged ones are catching sight of each other. A new way is coming clear. The journey of reconciliation has begun.

Commentary

This Prophecy can be understood as a description of a long standing problem and its solution for the native people of the Americas. It can also be taken as a metaphor of planetary problems and a planetary healing. The worldwide challenges are self evident on the nightly television news. Along with scientific advancements, loving individual actions, and creative group projects, we see mistrust, hate, violence, greed, hunger, rampant materialism, and separatist belief systems.

Applying the Second Inka Prophecy for the “Time to Come” to our modern world’s pain and dysfunction, part of the solution stands out. Put in the simple terms of the Inka, humanity needs to come together as brothers and sisters under Father Sun living in harmony and balance with each other and all our relations around our Pacha Mama, Mother Earth.

Far sighted elders of various Indian Nations have been meeting in counsel for centuries planning for the reconciliation and empowerment of indigenous peoples. Projects such as the Peace and Dignity Runs are uniting Indian people in joint efforts and bringing their message to the culture at large. Many Shamans, keepers of the ancient healing ways, are opening their teachings and rites to spiritually thirsty Westerners and a dysfunctional modern world. The elders of the Q’ero Nation of Peru, the inspirational and energetic foundation of the Inka Sun Staff Community, are a key example.

Many modern Westerners are also working with creative solutions to our individual and cultural ills. Our society has produced miracles in the areas of medicine, science, technology, and public health. In many parts of the world equality of race, ethnicity, and gender as well as freedom of religion are generally more developed now than in the past. More people have education and knowledge available. Yet individually and collectively we suffer various ailments of an urbanized, technological, often paternalistic, and overly “progress” oriented culture.

The Inka Prophecies suggest that we have much to learn from our native elders whose societies Western European ancestors conquered and tried to assimilate centuries ago. The ancient traditions of our native elders offer many ideas, principles, and ways of life that are treatment and antidote for the toxic by- products of our modern, busy lives.

Marvelous tools are becoming more available to indigenous peoples and modern Westerners alike. Tools that are ancient, modern, and an ever-growing blend of the two. The need is obvious and the desire for change is mounting. The Inka Elders are lighting the way with their loving nature and the wisdom of their prophecies. The Inka Sun Staff Community is listening. Through a creative synthesis of the best of our modern ways and the power of the resurfacing wisdom teachings, we all can facilitate the unfolding of an enhanced kind of human and the possibility of a magnificent golden age.
