The Eagle And The Hen
(Leonardo Boff)
The present workmanship is divided in seven chapters, where it counts to the history of a bred eagle as a hen. This history is understood as a metaphor of the condition human being. Each one will be able to read it and to interpret it its experiences in accordance with. When reading the workmanship you go to collate with two basic dimensions of the existence human being: the dimension of the enraizamento, the daily one, of limited, that it would be the symbol of the hen and the dimension of the opening, the desire, of the limitless one, which is the symbol of the eagle. From this the author in questions them in as to balance these two dimensions. E as to hinder that the culture of the homogenization drowns the eagle of us inside and in hinders them to fly. To give a convincing reply to these challenges, the author visits modern cosmology, the new anthropology, deep psychology, the ecology, the espiritualidade and the mística. The result is a instigante reflection that provokes enthusiasm in the search of the identity human being through the inclusion of the contradictions and the overcoming of the eventual obstacles the personal, social and planetary level. The history of the eagle and the hen evoke deep dimensions of the spirit, indispensable for the accomplishment process human being: the feeling of auto-esteem, the capacity superficially to give the return in the almost insuperáveis difficulties, the creativity ahead of situations of collective oppression that threaten the horizon of the hope. But we cannot in limiting them to be only hen or only eagle. As hens we are concrete and historical beings, but never we must forget our opening, our indomável passion, our infinite project, our dimension infinite eagle. If not to search the impossible one (the eagle) we will never obtain the possible one (the hen). Each human being has a basic that if manifest structure more as the eagle in some, more as the hen in others. Each one needs to listen to this nature interior, to catch the eagle that if announces or the hen that emerges. After to listen to them, matters to use the reason to see and the heart clearly to decide with inteireza. Thus the promise of a dynamic balance will only be conquered. The history of the eagle and the hen in them evokes the personalization process for which all human being passes. We do not receive the existence ready. We must construct it gradually. It has a wide transcultural tradition that it represents the walked one of the human being, man and woman, as a trip and an adventure in the direction of the proper identity.
