The Eagle and the Condor—The Mother Flies with the Birds

Written By Melissa Pickett

    A quiet, snowy day, the eve to Christmas eve, I was stranded at home with a pile of snow in front of my garage door, so I decided to use my at-home time wisely.  "Do some laundry, that would be a good thing." 

  I had just put in a load of towels, and emerging from the laundry room, by chance, I glanced at the clock on my oven and microwave.  Both read 11:11.  I stood and watched the time tick away, finally changing to 11:12.  I was stunned by the timing, as I had just been contemplating writing this article.  Seeing the 11:11 in that moment validated the direction for this story telling. 

  The 11:11 had begun appearing to me a year earlier.  It meant little to me when it began to appear.  I had read that when we are ascending, or moving into higher states of consciousness, the 11:11 would appear.  I thought this was a preposterous assertion, until I began to experience the phenomenon for myself.  The 11:11 was everywhere, and I had to pay attention because it was practically jumping out in front of me.  It takes a lot to grab my attention past my left brain rationality.

  Since I began to see the 11:11, it has become a direction finder, validating my actions, and telling me I am on track with my personal process and ascension work.

  Ascension, simply put, is the movement of consciousness into higher frequency states.  I'm not sure it's movement, per se, but more of a dissolution of the lower vibrational frequencies of egoic, personal self.  As these lower frequencies resolve, higher-state frequencies become apparent.  It feels more like an apprehension rather than an ascension, though it does create a light, free feeling of detachment.  I know, see, feel, or understand something I wasn't aware of.  It has everything to do with accepting myself as human and divine.  It is pleasurable, interesting, and I crave more.

  Seeing the 11:11 this morning I knew that it was time to share about the matrix I have yet to draw entitled, "The Mother Flies with the Birds."

  The day before winter solstace, in the early morning hours between asleep and awake, I heard the words, "The Mother flies with the birds."  I fully awakened so that I would remember what I had heard.  I thought the words to be interesting, though I didn't understand what they meant. 

  I forgot about the whole experience, until later that night, when the words came back to me.  "The Mother flies with the birds."  I began to ponder their mystery, their meaning taking shape the next day.  This was a powerful solstace, and throughout the day, I followed the mystery of the words as clues to their meaning took shape.

  I knew the Mother was reference to the Divine Mother.  The birds were about movement of the mind.   By chance (yeah, right) I picked up a book and began reading the indigenous story of the Eagle and Condor.  According to the myth, North and South America were, at one time, the same body of land.  The earth cracked apart, separating the landmass into two continents.  North America became the Eagle, operating through the mind, and South America became the Condor, operating through the heart and intuition.

  The Eagle began to dominate the Condor, and because of this, the world went dramatically out of balance.  The wise elders predicted a time when the Eagle and the Condor would join together, and the best from both would emerge.  That time is said to be now.

  As I continued to read the story, my heart raced with excitement, and the meaning of "The Mother flies with the birds" took shape and validated, as Truth, what I have been feeling and teaching for eight years. The divine feminine has emerged and is the force that marries the mind and the heart to create and manifest the new earth.

  My deep, inner experience of integrating this truth brought me to my knees, and in tears, I asked what I was to do with the gift of "The Mother flies with the birds," and I was told, "share it." 

  How I will share is still unfolding.  I begin by writing this message and drawing the matrix.  I expect that I will be taking this message to groups.  My great hope is that everyone will experience "The Mother flies with the birds."  This statement is a mantra, which are words that are capable of creating transformation.  There is mystery in contemplating this statement, and it will reveal itself to you, if you are sincere.

  Practice saying the statement or mantra to yourself, and ask the Divine Mother to marry your mind and heart, so they speak as one.  Let her work through your life in your own unique way so you may manifest and offer your gifts to humanity.  We all have gifts and a voice, which are truly needed for the benefit of the whole.  Earth, and all who are here are waiting for you.

  By the way, if you are not seeing the 11:11 don't worry.  Put your faith and trust into your own path and way.  Watch how the mystery reveals itself to you. 

  Blessings!
