Living the prophecies of the condor and the eagle
July 28, 2006

The Q’eros of Peru’s first and second sun prophecies of the condor and the eagle says the birds will fly again, in this age, wing-to-wing to awaken the Earth and all its inhabitants. The eagle of the North cannot be free without the condor of the South.

The Q’eros—the last 600 individuals of the Inca tribe— for 500 years since they were conquered by the Spaniards have held to a sacred prophecy of a great change, or pachacuti, in which the world would be turned right-side up, harmony and order would be restored and chaos and disorder would be ended. 

According to ancient Q’eros prophecy, this is the time of the great gathering called the mastay, which is the integration of peoples from the four directions. They believe that munay (love and compassion) will be the guiding force of this great gathering of people. The prophecy says that North America will supply the physical strength or body; Europe will supply the mental aspect or head; and the heart will be supplied by South America.

The reuniting of condor and eagle signals the end of a time of separation and conflict and the beginning of healing, reconciliation and empowerment of the planet. The second Inca prophecy calls for the “Time to Come,” when 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 the PachaMama. The prophecies are optimistic.

In this lecture, Maria Teresa Valenzuela explains the first and second sun prophecies of the condor and the eagle she will discuss the chaotic spirtual and environmental times in which we are living. She will also discuss possible solutions on behalf of the indigenous elder.

Valenzuela recently traveled to Peru to participate in spirtual healing work with the Q’ero natives, also known as the Laika, masters of energy. Q’ero training has always focused on insights. Being earthkeepers also has an energetic component—a series of nine initiations—that accompany the insights. Valenzuela recently received these initiation rites in preparation for the coming world changes. In her lecture she shares photos, her experience with the Q’eros and the initiation rites.Valenzuela can be reached at laikaraiya@yahoo.com.

The magnificent Maya: Part I

They were the most advanced of all the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica. The Maya inhabited southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and the western boundaries of Honduras and El Salvador. They built cities and paved roadways, although they used no wheeled vehicles of any kind. Their astronomers plotted the movements of the visible planets and stars using a mathematics that included zero, a rare accomplishment in world history.

They were the only people of the New World to develop a complete written language that could express anything spoken in writing. They made books that combined illustrations and glyphs.

The magnificent Maya are the subject of a lecture that focuses on architecture and art, the Bonampak murals and Maya mathematics. Retired professor of humanities Guillermo Méndez is the lecturer.
