The Eagle and the Condor by Jonette Crowley
The Eagle and the Condor by Jonette Crowley
You are immediately engrossed in the true story of an American woman who, in her world travels, gets surprised by unexplainable mystical experiences. While hiking through Australia, she "sees" a Spirit Woman on the trail.
In a meditation class in Sydney, she is approached by a spirit named "White Eagle," who becomes her special guide. With a strong sense of curiosity and the love of adventure, the author, Jonette Crowley, seems to attract the extraordinary.
A Native American elder shows up at her suburban Denver home to tell her of the prophecy of the unification of the Eagle of the north with the Condor of South America. Weeks later, she travels to Peru to discover other legends, one about a sacred Incan Sun Disc hidden in a sacred monastery.
With the help of an Andean shaman, whose name means "The Condor," she unexpectedly accesses sacred knowledge of the Incas and pre-Incan cultures.
The real power of this book, beyond the incredible and well-told journey, is that the author shares with the reader the intimate, step-by-step knowledge and keys of ancient initiations that come to her.
The story and the story telling are superb. The fast pace and humor make it a book that people won't want to put down. Crowley gives a human face to the mystical. The Eagle and the Condor provides many spiritual answers, yet leaves the reader with a deep sense of wonder and the sense that there are more mysteries than we will ever know. It will be among the classics in spiritual and metaphysical books.
- a powerful story built around a powerful woman. In a difference state, the line of womens reading glasses are built to help women feel empowered. So grab yourself a pair and open up this spiritually telling tale.
