The
Prophetic Story Shared
by
One Indigenous Tribe
By Sue Chehrenegar
As
the last decade of the 20th
Century came
to a close, and the
world welcomed the 21st
Century, one elementary school teacher
in LA County shared with
her students a series of facts
about the people and animals in the rain forests of South America.
She didn’t realize that the focus of her classroom presentation
allowed her students to learn about a group in which the elders
shared the details of an
interesting prophecy, one that concerned
the period of history in which they were living. That group included
all of the indigenous people of the South American Rain Forest.
The
calendar used by those forest-dwelling men and women features more
than months, years, decades and centuries. It also
includes something called a
Pachakuri, a period of 500 years.
According to that calendar, mankind currently lives at the start of
the fifth Pachakuri. A prophecy familiar to the same indigenous
people has foretold the significance of this time in history. It has
made reference to a meeting between two different groups.
One
of those groups has been described as the people of the Eagle, each
of whom lives in a society
that concentrates on matters
of the sciences and the intellect. Those associated with the
eagle have a far different outlook
on life than those associated with another bird, the Condor. Those
men and women who have been linked to the condor have been described
as being attuned to nature and the intuitive realm.
This
story/prophecy has been told by inhabitants of the rain forest,
particularly those who identify with one tribal society. Members of
that society have chosen to share the details of their prophecy with
Lynne Twist. She has devoted two to three pages
of her book, The
Soul of Money,
to an explanation of the South American prophecy.
According
to that published tale, both groups of people have progressed
tremendously in the areas each has deemed most important. The people
of the Eagle have become respected for their mind-expanding tools and
technologies. The people of the Condor have attained to the height of
intuitive wisdom.
However,
such accomplishments have come with a sacrifice. The people of the
Eagle face real challenges, due to their lack of attention to
spiritual issues. The people of the Condor long for the sort of
knowledge that can help them to succeed, in a world that is focused
on material goods.
And
as stated in the ancient
prophecy,
these two very different
groups will come together at the start of the fifth Pachakuri. As
envisioned by those who
identify
with the condor’s wings, that meeting will lead to emergence
of something not seen
before, an
eagle and condor flying
together in the same sky. That occurrence promises to bring
the world into balance,
following a period when the
world’s extinction seems almost
imminent.
As
laid down in the prophecies
of the Indigenous communities,
those with different mindsets must come together.
One group must share its knowledge, while the other shares its
heartfelt wisdom. Completion of that union is supposed to ensure the
attainment of a wonderful goal, namely that of a promising and
sustainable future.
