Enter the Condor - Second Series Intention Crystals
Shift of the Ages producer and director, Steve Copeland, is happy to announce that the ceremony for the Second Series of SOTA Intention Crystals was performed in South America, on Bolivia's Island of the Sun, by Roger Choque on May 16, 2010.
Many cultures' prophesies have revealed that in the late 80s to early 90s we entered a period of momentous 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, we hear that ours is a special moment in human history. 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, but all tell 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, 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 prophecy 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 and 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 ways 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. (The above was adapted from the writings of John Perkins)
PROPHECY AND THE MAYA
For decades Mayan Elder Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj "Wandering Wolf" has been actively engaged in the fulfillment of the Eagle and Condor Prophecy. The Mayan version of the prophecy states: "Those of the Center (Quetzal) will unite the Eagle of the North with the Condor of the South, they will reunite their brothers and sisters because they are one, like the fingers of the hand." This prophecy is central to the work that the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders and Spirit Guides of the Americas does, a Council of native representatives spanning the American continents from Alaska in the North to Chile in South America. Wandering Wolf is the current President of this council which meets for a few weeks every couple of years in support of the fulfillment of the Eagle and Condor prophecy.

THE FIRST ROUND
The ceremony for the First Round of (Quartz) Intention Crystals was held in Central America, by Don Alejandro in the Country of Guatemala. He chose to conduct the ceremony on the Mayan day of 4 Ik, a day with the spirit of air and good for transferring information. The Crystals were infused with the heart of the Maya in ceremony to assist the great Shift of the Ages, or Change of Suns as it is also known. These First Round Crystals were given to early SOTA Project Ambassadors (bridge builders) as gifts and are now stationed around the world.

THE SECOND ROUND
Relative to the Prophecy of the Eagle and Condor, The Southern (Condor) followed Don Alejandro’s Central (Quetzal) effort by hosting the Second Series Round. Beautiful Amethyst and Quartz Crystal were obtained locally in La Paz Bolivia and escorted in prayer to the Island of the Sun. What is particularly moving about this Second Round of SOTA Intention Crystals, is in that it involves the Aymara Nation. Several of the key people who helped Wandering Wolf in the dramatic recovery of the Mayan Staff of Authority were involved in the Second Round ceremony. Aymaran Elder Roger Choque led the ceremony that called forth the healing powers of the universe. The Crystals were infused with prayers and blessings, and with the intent to strengthen the bond between Eagle and Condor, Roger prayed the power of material assistance into these Crystals. The Crystals are now in North America awaiting their new homes.

THE THIRD AND FOURTH ROUNDS
The Third Round of SOTA Intention Crystals was held in the North (Eagle) on the Summer Solstice of June 21st 2010, which is without coincident, the three-year anniversary that Wandering Wolf recovered the Mayan Staff of Authority from Aymaran, Valentin Mejillones, in Bolivia. Five hundred Amethyst Crystals were part of a large Native American Ceremony in Canada on World Aboriginal day. A video is being made now and more details will follow. Plans to have a unified North 4th Round Series in Central America are in the works now. Additional Rounds will then be held around the world. Japan will host an Intention Crystal Round in November. More info to come as this exciting organic program develops.
INTENTION CRYSTALS-
Crystals retain light and information and can be imbued with power, messages, and intent. SOTA Intention Crystals hold the energy, prayers, and intent of the sacred ceremony they were a part of. The Crystal Initiative is designed to be a system of energetic exchange and sharing that transcends borders. These Crystals are priceless, and are in no way meant to be sold for money. It should be understood that money is energy, and that crystals and currency will cross paths in the with various projects as they develop. We started planning the Second Series Round of Intention Crystals in March, and after investing months of time and energy, we are now able to share the results of our effort. We trust SOTA Ambassadors will receive their priceless Intention Crystals with honor and privilege.
CRYSTALS AND SOTA TUNING EVENTS, CEREMONIES & PARTIES
SOTA is building and unifying a network of Shift of the Ages Ambassadors to share and assist in the great shift we are experiencing now. Enrollment as a SOTA Ambassador is a sacred exchange, one of information, resource, and product meant to assist the shift. Ambassadorship does not mean you are purchasing the film or other gifts. We are sharing these gifts as a thank you for those that believe in the work we are collectively doing with SOTA. Tuning Ceremonies, Events or Parties are grassroots gatherings organized by SOTA Ambassadors in effort to rally positive energy towards a cause and raise the vibration of a given community. Each event is as unique as the people that organize them, no two are the same. For example, a SOTA Ambassador may open their home to the community as meeting place to exchange information, discussion, resource exchange, and plan for future positive action. Intention Crystals energetically assist in unified intention during these events. One SOTA Ambassador created positive environment with healthy food, good music, shared some of the SOTA videos, and had an auction of local art to raise money for community charity. We know how these vibrations ripple out through the SHIFT. Every community has something to gain from a Tuning event, whether it be socially or environmentally. If you are a SOTA Crystal Carrier, your Crystal is meant to be used to energetically assist these events.
Now you can visit the Intention Crystals page of the website, and find out how YOU can participate in TUNING ceremonies and parties, post events of your own, and share your SHIFT with a TUNING community! We can't wait to see you there!
Stay-tuned for the amazing story of the Third Round of Intention Crystals...the original Amethyst crystals that were intended to be blessed by North American indigenous elders...they also found their way home and we'll talk about their SHIFT-inspired blessing when the 'The EAGLE Unites with The CONDOR' in our next newsletter.
