The Eagle and the Condor, A True Story of an Unexpected Mystical Journey Paperback – January 1, 2007

The most helpful thing about Inayat's somewhat negative review is that it illustrates the hangups that act as impediments to our spiritual growth. That reviewer felt repelled by the sexual current between Jonette and Mallku. Why? They never really "got it on" physically; the Tantric use of sexual energies for spiritual purposes is older than Shiva and Shakti. It's not necessary to excise the three lower chakras in order to attain spiritual purity. That only leads to the Palace of Klingsor, and invokes, I'd think, rather bad karma.How do you think we got here, in these bodies? Was there no grunting, sweating, moaning in the act that brought us to this place?Now we come to the book itself, and the central question all Seekers should ask: Does this book reveal spiritual truth or is it in part channeled by evil beings who want to divert us from the Path? Each of us must answer for ourselves, not for others.My own experience with The Eagle and the Condor was positive--and then some. I found the various elements of the story to be internally consistent. Each of these resonated in my being. I also found Crowley's personality frank and honest.As a bonus, I discovered this stuff works. Before retiring the night I finished the book, I did a simple invocation to Pachamama the Earth Goddess. Woke up at 3 am after a dream in which I drove a globe vehicle around in strange terrain; riding shotgun was a striking woman with ash-blond hair. There was much more to the dream, but it's personal & wouldn't do anybody else much good.Eagle & Condor is, for me, a book to keep close and re-read often. I think it can create doors for readers where none seemed to exist before, and unlock existing doors for other readers.

Excellent written travel adventures with little-known history of the Incas and Limurians. Deeply inspiring initiations and the coming together of the Eagle and the Condor. Every Lemurian and spiritually interested should read it.

This beautifully written account of a woman's mystical journey shed light on the quandry of how to bring Heaven to Earth for me. I felt my energy shift as I vicariously experienced the initiations Jonette went through. Having often felt the power of 'unseen forces' in my life, I loved the reenforcement of reading about others' experiences. This is a marvelous story and the down-to-earth manner in which it is presented makes the blending of the mystical and the domestic quite believable and appealing.

This is a beautifully told story on many levels. It's an travel-and-adventure narrative that is a true story of mystical insight and evolution. It carried me along in the sweep of it, the surprise, and the message to follow your star, be yourself, trust yourself. It was also fascinating for its focus on sacred sites. A highly recommended book. I'd want to follow her into further journeys.

I did enjoy this book though I had to think that despite her saying she had met her twin flame, as soon as she saw his cramped accommodation in a wee flat in Cusco she definitely decided she wasn't giving up her life in the U.S. any time soon. Dress it up anyway you like, the shaman got the message and can she wonder their exchange of energy went on only through the air not physically from that point?Reflecting further on this book, what I am left with is a disturbed feeling about the rich 'West' coming in and using these people (shamans etc) as another commodity to consume. The inbalance between the authors lifestyle and purchasing power and the shaman's living on very modest means is discomforting to me.One reviewer Mystic Jaguar is concerned that the shaman may have been abusing his power by getting involved sexually. If sexual exploitation was going on I would see it as the other way, the author wanting to complete her experience with her 'twin flame' but when push came to shove what was she actually practically prepared to give up or share with him in return?It is all very well getting all dewy eyed about mystic Inca land, but these people a lot of them live in poverty by our standards. What do you/did you leave behind in exchange for being enriched spiritually?

This was a truly remarkable book about a woman's spiritual awakening. Her natural style made it feel like I was with her on her journey. I found myself laughing and crying. The way she trusted the things that happened to her inspired me to be more trusting of my own path. The part about her meeting her twin soul was especially illuminating, because something similar had happened to me.The author's words helped me understand my own emotions and how to put them in a bigger context. It was a great read.

Started as an interesting narrative such as Castaneda's books, but then it developed with too far fetched and incredible inner views that actually lead the reader to nowhere. I think most of it it's just fiction for selling the author's courses. As a reader, you are left with no message to think of.

Originally I bought this book at the Cusco Aeropuerto in 2007 as I was leaving. It was fun to get more information from Jonette Crowley about how the sacred places were used for initiation. My next trip I located the steps behind Machu Pic'chu's Intihuatana and had an amazing experience myself.

Sehr authentisch und berührend.Jonette ist seit Jahren ein strahlendes Licht, eine große Lehrerin und echte grandmother.Ich bin sehr dankbar sie zu kennen und ihre Inspiration und Empathie zu erleben.

what an amazing real life divinely guided journies!

I found this book very informative. It is to be hoped that all the experiences Jonette had and the things she did soon have some noticeable effect on our society.

I had a somewhat personal interest in the 2 main people and their energy work although it made Peru sound a very cold and desolate place which almost put me off going there. However, I did visit and had a totally different type of experience. I think one needs to understand about earth energy and healing energies to really appreciate this book.
