HI Bob,
Do you believe their is an allegory for The Eagle , the Rule, The Nagual's Party. ???
The raven is a bird like the eagle ...The Rule is impersonal , lacks kindness or compassion. I see an allegorical story in this too.We all know how symbolism works. A symbol is the clothing for a truth. An author uses symbols to communicate ideas. Ther idea is the truth or idea that the author is trying to communicate. You might look at a symbol as a veil. In Western mystical tradition there is a saying. "The veil that conceals a mystery, when meditated upon reveals the mystery."
These veils can be words written in a book, the elements of the physical world around us, the situations that we find ourselves in etc.,
Allegory is a story made up of these symbols and truths.
After many years of bible study I found myself in the book. It told me exactly what I had done ten minutes before while experienceing a spiritual vision.
Finding myself in the book was a life changing awareness of how this works.
Jesus was baptised and went into the wilderness. The first thing he did was find himself written in the book and read it standing in the synagog.
This is because he was showing us a pattern that we are completely unaware of until this experience happens to us.
I have had similar experiences since then. Jesus said "Follow me" and "I am the way." This was not a request.
All I could think was that the book was alive when this happened to me. No, it was I that was becoming aware or alive.
Later, I began to see that this same thing was happening, not just in the book but around me in the environment and events I call my life.
The Eagle is obviously a veil. It is covering or veiling a reality that sorcerer's wish to experience.
