Our Code of Ethics
The Church of the Eagle and the Condor (CEC) is committed to serving in ways that cultivate unity, awareness, empathy, and wisdom for all members.
THE PROPHECY OF THE EAGLE AND THE CONDOR
The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor teachings have guided members to form a cosmological understanding of the meaning and purpose of life, humanity’s place in it, the role of Spirit, and have cultivated tools with which to heal at the most fundamental spiritual, emotional, physical, mental and soul levels.
“According to the Prophecy, the essential feature of this nascent age is the extraordinary planetary crisis and upheaval. Tied to the cumulative effects of alienation, separation, and deep amnesia, this crisis increasingly characterizes both humanity and the world. The defining moment of this age is the ‘re-encounter’ of all elements having suffered separation during humanity’s prior unfolding. It becomes a time of coming together of peoples, ancestry, and traditions, along with the restoration of harmony between humankind and Mother Nature. It culminates symbolically the meeting of all races, and their ‘breaking bread' together at the table of the World Teacher. This event indicates the emergency of humanity from its illusion of separation.”
