Border Crossing - Tips on How to Travel From Peru

What do You Do When You Are Broke And The Earth Needs You?It was
around the time of the Solstice and I had various signs and
synchronizations that I HAD to be on the island of the sun, known to
the ancient natives that still run the Island as the Birth Place of
the Sun.This tribe is definitely a left behind collective of old
Native American Consciousness and has Lumerian symbolic and
methodology throughout their shamanic practices.Even more so, there
are fossilized 'human" bone that make up important structure in the
temple. The pelvic bone of a woman is used as a shadow maker in one of
the temples. As the suns rays get blocked by this structure at
different times of the day and parts of the year the shadows make
animal shapes on an alter table.They are very sophisticated human
healing technology as well as training grounds to plug into like a
socket or outlet and charge yourself up with energy. The Technology is
intense.So What is With The Bone?It was two days before the solstice
and I was pretty, knowing I would need the money I had for when I got
back and would start doing more paying work. I knew I would make money
when I came back, I was coming out of a long service cycle connected
with the birth of my daughter so it was good.About that, I as well had
yet to find a person to watch my daughter for me. But I had no
tension, I knew it was all going to come together. And it did...At the
last minute my friend Marisol, who runs a massage center, got her
English classes canceled and agreed to watch the baby. My other friend
Selva had two tickets to Bolivia and was using her second with her boy
friend who at the last minute couldn't go... so there I was, with all
logic saying I should be working for money for my baby getting on a
bus with less than $80 on my way to Bolivia. I might add for an
American the Visa to enter Bolivia is $155 so my net value was like
1/2th the cost of the visa. I wasn't worried, my shamanic abilities
had gotten me through much more difficult situations when the Earth
was calling on me.The first pass through the border went pretty well
but for some reason the tickets got messed up. You have to travel from
Cuzco to Puno and then in Puno you get on a new Bus to Copacabana in
Bolivia. When we got to Puno for some reason I was put on a different
bus than my friend Selva. I was like... "Okay"So we went out to watch
the sunrise over the magnificent Lake Titicaca before splitting up,
sure to meet again once in Copacabana. We watched as the sun rose over
the great expanse of the largest lake at the highest altitude in the
world and I left Selva to Meditate on her own as my bus was scheduled
to leave before her own.




The Bus to Bolivia was a completely different story than the bus to
Puno... I went from being the only "foreigner" to looking like I might
actually be the only Peruvian. This left me feeling a lot better about my
chances of border crossing without any problems... I dressed in clothes I
thought wouldn't stand out in to little or two big a way, jeans and a
black jacket. I really needed to make this trip happen.I actually had a
third motive for making the trip, my visa for Peru had expired a few weeks
before and I was thus illegal. Each day past your visa counts as $1 USD
you have to pay when you leave the country. I was about 12 days over and
again my total cash was about twenty bucks.When I got to the Peruvian Side
of the border I managed to work the situation, Shaman Style. There was a
clearly tourist girl in the line a couple of people ahead of me. She
didn't speak Spanish but she was having problems due to her thinking her
visa was 90 days... but it was actually only 30. She therefore owed about
$45 dollars to leave the country.Since she wasn't speaking and the border
patrol officials weren't speaking any English I took advantage of the
situation to not only get ahead quite a few people in line but also make
myself look like a good Samaritan in front of the border control.The
tactic worked Quite Well.I succeeded in making the agents feel like they
had done a good job in getting their country money by explaining to the
girl where she had to go to pay the $45 and what they were actually
talking about. The whole situation, with me translating took about 15
minutes and after I just made myself next in line... the agent hardly even
looked at my passport as he stamped it, officially signing me out of the
country. The first phase, avoiding paying the $12 of my $20 of late visa
fees was successfully avoided.We were then all advised to walk across the
border and do what we had to do on the Bolivian side of immigrations...
and then we would be let back on the bus. I have learned, through
experience, that the best way to break law is to casually break the law in
front of the law men like you were doing nothing wrong.So once on the
Bolivian side I followed the masses towards the control check point,
veered off to the money exchange spot, exchanged some money and then
linked back in with the first people leaving the check point after getting
their papers stamped. I then hung out talking with two people, sitting
right in front of the Bolivian Military Border Police Headquarters.
Casually talking about the Island of the sun and how lucky the people were
to be heading towards there for the solstice.Soon enough of our bus had
gone through customs that they opened the doors to let people back in. I
made another loop around the vicinity to buy some crackers and got back on
the bus. 15 minutes later we were heading off to Copacabana.Once in
Copacabana I was looking for my friend without success. I still had my $20
so I bought the $5 ticket to the island of the sun and about $5 of food. I
knew I would be there two or three days and would then have to get a bus
ticket back so I was doing it all based on pure faith.FAITH IS POWERFUL.On
the hour boat ride to the island I managed to talk up a group of 4 people
who were meeting the island for the first time themselves about the
solstice and the importance of the work that needed to be done with it and
how they could get involved if they wanted. I gave them enough information
for them to rightfully be very excited about the timing the just managed
to be going to The Island of the Sun. Two of them didn't even know it was
the Solstice and none of them knew it was used by the Inca and Pre-Inca
Empire for very important Solstice ceremonies.I ended up hanging with them
the first day, checking out a small portion of the island and graciously
accepting their invitation to food and drink. During this time I had seen
my friend Selva on the Island and she had gotten a cheap room at a hostel
with an amazing view... well basically the entire island was an amazing
view... but this one faced the rising sun so it seemed fit for the winter
solstice, the birth of the new sun and new year in the birth place of the
sun.She paid for her room and the guy put my bag in a cheaper room under
hers. We then went and decided to relax for the afternoon. It was the day
before the solstice and I knew I would be up at 4 am the latest the next
day so I was cool for relaxing.As we were heading back to the hostel I saw
the group of four I had been talking with on the boat. I decided to join
them for diner, hey they invited me. Selva said she was tired and wanted
to head back to the Hostel.Diner turned into a few drinks and about 2
hours waiting for the food. By the time we had finished eating and talking
it was well past midnight. On an island of such small population and
tourism based around the ruins and spirituality... Everything was shut
down.I wasn't exactly sure what to do so I headed back to the Hostel Selva
was at. The place was completely black but my room was open and my bags
still there. No one seemed around and though I hadn't paid yet, I needed a
place to sleep. I immediately feel into a deep sleep.




At probably quarter to four in the morning I woke up sharply. I had heard
there was a temple of the sun on the south eastern side of the island and
though I had not found it the day before, which would have been smart, I
went out with a determination to begin the New Fire Ceremony for right
before Sunrise in this Temple. Unfortunately I was mal informed and the
Temple of the sun was actually on the completely other end of the Island
but it made for some interesting events.I found myself again, jumping 6
foot ledges in the dark, climbing walls to unknown property trying to find
where I had thought I was told this temple was located. I continued for an
hour and a half without any luck and the best place I found that most
resembled a temple was actually someone's house. As I knew Sunrise was
approaching I decided to just head down to the beach and get myself on the
most eastern part of the island to do the fire... as I knew it had to be
done with the rising sun.Getting there I ended up finding an amazing cave
which 'coincidentally' was basically directly below the mountain top where
the natives did there fire ceremony to the rising solstice sun. I found
this out later when I met with the four people who had listened to my
wisdom on the boat and my advice about how they should do a fire ceremony
for the rising solstice sun.They had gone to the mountain top where I had
showed them and linked up with a group of natives performing their
ceremony and had a great time. As my purpose is to actually destroy all
old methods of doing things to make space for new consciousness to enter
our global collective I was being guided to avoid all the native
ceremonies with all the works I was doing. I wasn't specifically intending
it but I was following my heart intuition and like always with
intuition... you understand the meaning and logic behind it
afterward.After I finished my fire ceremony I managed to climb up the
mountain and end up right in the backyard of the Hostel I stayed at. No
one seemed around so I quietly made my bed, gathered my things and left. I
didn't feel too bad about not paying as I was there solely for the purpose
of doing direct work for the Great Earth Mother.In the Next addition I'll
out line how to perform works for the earth to give her back energy that
we as humans have been taking for too long and too much without the proper
giving to match the taking.
