Wisdom. Respect. Integrity. Strength. Fortitude. Collaboration. Humility. "Nearly every culture I know prophesies that in the late 1990's we entered a period of remarkable transition. At monasteries in the Himalayas, ceremonial sites in Indonesia, and indigenous reservations in North America, from the depths of the Amazon to the peaks of the Andes, and into the ancient Mayan cities of Central America, I have heard that ours is a special moment in human history, and that each of us was born at this time because we have a mission to accomplish. The titles and the words of the prophecies differ slightly. They tell variously of a New Age, the Third Millennium, the Age of Aquarius, the Beginning of the Fifth Sun, or the end of old calendars and the commencement of new ones. Despite the varying terminologies, however, they have a great deal in common, and "The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle" is typical. It states that back in the mists of history, human societies divided and took different paths: that of the condor (representing the heart, intuitive and mystical) and that of the eagle (representing the brain, rational and material). In the 1490's, the prophesy said, the two paths would converge and the eagle would drive the condor to the verge of extinction. Then, five hundred years later, in the 1990's a new epoch would begin, one in which the condor and the eagle will have the opportunity to reunite ad fly together in the same sky, along the same path. If the condor and eagle accept this opportunity, they will create a most remarkable offspring, unlike any seen before. "The Prophecy of the Condor and Eagle" can be taken at many levels - the standard interpretation is that it foretells the sharing of indigenous knowledge with the technologies of science, the balancing of yin and yang, and the bridging of northern and southern cultures. However, most powerful is the message it offers about consciousness; it says the we have entered a time when we can benefit from the many diverse was of seeing ourselves and the world, and that we can use these as a springboard to higher levels of awareness. As human beings we can truly wake up and evolve into a more conscious species." -From Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (page 209) by John Perkins Learn More: Understanding Philanthropic Travel Travel Connoisseur Magazine on Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel Worldwide Fast Company Magazine on Philanthropic Travel PersonalLifemedia.com on Philanthropic Travel DIY Foreign Policy: Philanthropic Travel Philanthropic Traveler funded High School opens near Victoria Falls, Zambia The Fable of Stone Soup My First Philanthropic Travel Experience Affluent Parents Dedicated to Instilling Philanthropic Values in their Children Giving while Living: The Deeper News About the New Philanthropy Dr. Jeffrey Sachs on the Strategic Steps Out of Poverty Are We Talking about Philanthropy Yet?
