How awesome, @flauwy! Oh wow, Costa Rica. That's one place I really want to visit. I too was in Berlin when the wall was being torn down. What an awesome euphoric party that was - probably the best of my life. I think it was like the whole world was on LSD then, without even needing to take it... LOL I used to have a piece of the wall, but I think someone stole it. Not a problem though, because I still have the memory and maybe it will help others to find a glimpse of true "FREEDOM" from it too.

I think most of the world is now too controlled and manipulated for my taste, as well, and spirituality is kept incredibly low (held down) so as to manipulate. It's much like the Matrix trilogy film series, where most people prefer the blue pill and go on living the illusion of lies and more and more of us are waking up enough to take the red pill and dive down the rabbit hole to find and put all the pieces together.

That's so well said when you said,

And I agree, there is magic and mystery unfolding in front of our eyes and the great spectacle of light and darkness fighting for human consciousness is at play. Great time to be alive and strong in the heart to be ready for whatever is about to come. I have the feeling that 2018 in particular as well as the following few years will be of great significance for mankind.

I used to live and study native traditions and spiritual visions with Shamans, but Ayahuasca is about the only thing I haven't tried in my life. :) I really want to find one of the locations near me where it is legal to do sometime this summer for a shamanic vision quest. I was struck deeply that moved me back in that direction when the indigenous shaman from Peru, Olivia Arévalo Lomas, was killed a month ago. I really do feel it is really time for those of us waking up to play our part in this current turning in the Procession of the Equinox (26,000 year cycle) back towards another golden age of enlightenment and age of Aquarius. In one very profound sense, the darker it "seems" to get, the brighter the stars will begin to shine. I have this feeling you really know what I mean, @flauwy!

I'll go check out your post too. :)
