It was back in the early 1970’s when I experienced twelve border crossings. Back then, at the age of twenty-one my emotions where a borderline of high anxiety, depression, joy, adventure and fear. I never knew what emotions I might surrender to, during the course of separation (with my brother in Germany) and loneliness at times not being connected to my super-consciousness as they say. Whatever, that means to some angels, to others a higher source of thought, and to others a God consciousness.
