Many people listened about Iboga only because of its power to stop drug-addictions, in the 75% of the cases with heroin, without thinking that the Holy Wood, Tabernanthe Iboga, has been used since millennia with spiritual purposes; in the literal sense of the term, namely to go at the encounter with your own spirit, the double of which Carlos Castaneda among others talks; and to interact consciously with the other spirits, the genies, the spirits of Nature and the Ancestors that we call upon during the Bwiti ceremony; and not only this.

Not only this: the Iboga has to do with the power of creation, the access to our higher self and unconditioned mind that appears to be truthful and almighty; a download of illuminations like a waterfall from the Akashic plane, the possible and eventual healing from physical conditions and the identification with the thought patterns that had us prisoners all the life long, impeding the freedom of perception that we have as a birthright, and so sickening the body; until touching for a moment the Sacred and receiving messages; and who knows what more; who knows what the wood will gift to You… anyway for experience I can say that the day after everybody is happy, deeply purified and really reset.

The Bwiti, word meaning also the Connection, the All that is One, is the Iboga Cult, in which I have been initiated firstly with the name of Akon Ening, Pillar of Life.
Being the spirit of the Iboga plant either masculine & feminine (on the contrary Peyote is masculine and Ayahuasca feminine)  they live together two different traditions; the Ceremonies that we offer are of the Dizhoumba, the feminine way.

In the Bwiti, we eat the Holy Wood aptly said, the bark of the root of the tree, and not the ibogaine, its chemical extract. Soon  the Catapult throws you in the otherworld and the Bandzee, the would be initiate, probably wants to lay down to enter in a phase in which her/his brain produces the same brainwaves of the REM sleep, the dream stage. And it is not a daydreaming, but a creator dream, the field of action there, to which we have access for a few hours and it depends only on us and on our intention to interact or not with the allied spirits that are going to manifest; and to solve assumptions there; even karmic issues; fixing the photocopy machine, the genetic lineage to which we belong, instead to try correcting only and hopelessly the single photocopy that we are. And all of this while Iboga grants a protection to us, giving way only to our allied spirits, as healing guides, ancestors, angels, and whatever. It is all a story with yourself, and your faces, and your consciousness level.

And you are aware, and sober even when you cannot walk, you are in a state that has a relation with ordinary waking state as the one between the lucid dreaming, when you know you are dreaming and can direct your actions there and even change the surroundings, and the ordinary dreams nearly only a replay to clean the mind.

In this state the Bandzee will stay 6/8 hours, after that she/he will be able to stand up, even if for a couple of days may prefer mostly to lay down and travel again, real missions guided by the Holy Wood and our Intent, our other sacrament what we were looking for in the day of preparation, because as soon as we decided to eat the Holy Wood, her/his Spirit starts to work with us and we will be discovering which of our many starting intentions are true and which silly and not so important, by asking questions to the geniés, the Water, the Wind, the trees and so on we are going to tune the intention till forge an Intent, the mere force forming the Universe.

At the end of the experience the Bandzee, even if she/he was never really asleep, will be rested, reborn and recharged.

MultiReal centre for studies and healing works with Kambo as a preparation for the Bwiti ceremonies, too; and gives treatments with Iboga micro-dosing.

 

Akón Eníng, Bwiti initiate BIO NOTES

"It was a 23rd of May just like Today when I ate for the first time in my life the Holy Wood.

Definitely Iboga saved my life.

I was tired, old, bitter, confused again after some utter painful blows I received, nearly all of my dear ones had passed on, I was left alone in this world that, even if I never stopped to love it so much, was again a heavy land of sorrow over me. Or better said I was not like that, just my mind kept repeating these phrases, that may have us laugh now, but I was believing it and living inside the drama, just on the stage of the show believing was all true.
The final blow was when they told me I had to extract some extra teeth and replace them with artificial ones. It was then when I heard the voice of my body saying: “Really do you want to change teeth… again? Change body please!” And I was thinking that voice, the voice of my body, was me!

And then that 23rd of May I had Iboga, the Holy Wood, given to me by Divine Spark, a Nima (the highest shaman) in the ancestral Bwiti tradition of the Holy Wood of Africa, and my Spirit came down, from so far, and I realized that me, the real one, the inmortal one, in which “I” wanted to take refuge by dying, in reality did not want to leave this body at all, instead just wanted to start really enjoying Life.

It was incredible, just in front of me, on my right I was clearly hearing the disembodied voice of my body, saying that we had seen everything, had done all the experiences, in 3 continents, in so many decades, with the eyes of so many different cultures and times through two millennia, in fact we had everything, “it is enough” the body was talking a lot, a long monologue, true, deep, like in a Greek tragedy, and he had all the reasons indeed… but then from the left side in front of me I heard, like I hear you when you talk with me, the voice of my Spirit, which did not argue with my body, did not answer to the many points he had stated, just my Spirit made questions that in reality were jokes, so high, so funny, so self-evident questions that you cannot answer them but just laugh about. And we did, the 3 of us! yes because we were 3, the Spirit, the body, and “me”, I do not know what it means me but I was there just witnessing the talk of the two, but surely all the 3 of us did laugh together; so humorous my spirit, and this laughing heals. The body tried to argue again and again, few times he started again to state all the very rational complaints making up his drama, but each time the Spirit made a deeper joke, went behind the curtain of the show, to the very essence, the indubitable self-evident Truth, that always is incredibly funny, and every time we broke down into laughter, no way, and the body eventually surrendered laughing.

And from that day energy, a quiet energy at last, came back; everything started to shine; and my body started to rejuvenate.

That first day I got the Bwiti initiation name of Akón Eníng, Pillar of Life, and I started to live, like always I had but this time consciously and without doubts, by the Grace of God.

Of course always I did, we all do, there is no any other provider than God around! and me I had known this all my life, I had completely faith and so I did not have a “normal” life, no any security about the future, just a bet, a cosmic bet; and just when I was sure I had lost the bet (for the future I mean, in the past it always worked) this huge whirlwind of the Iboga came, shaking me deeply into the existential washing machine; finding the thoughts forms were making me weak and sick; having me blessed; reset; and open to the download from the higher dimensions… and so to the instinctive bet I did all my life persecuted by guilt and fear, I added the certainty of the win-win situation, the absolute Faith… because I have seen I am the One creating everything, I did touch the Sacred inside me.

Every gulp of air I breath now is a blessing of the Divine Mother bringing me peace, joy, gratitude and renewed life… the wind through my hair, the Water through my fingers, the people in front of my eyes... everything is magic and perfect.

LOVE LIGHT LAUGH"

Rodolfo de Matteis

 

SOME FEEDBACKS from people who did it with me:

 

"Is it possible to describe the indescribable? Can you touch the sky? You can smell the air ... Only the sweet melody of an eternal sweet inner song could describe the Sacred. Moments of Deep, essential here and now when the perception aroused give you the truth of the presence, the magic of being there with every cell, of a alive feeling and an ecstatic observer incarnated together, beauty. Then the surrender, the body rests, eyes closed and only lucid attention. Going down through the Rapids of the subconscious Torrent, one after the other Scroll the 1000 masks of every emotion ... teachings .... Can you wallow in the mud Without becoming mud? Can you love everything without making distinction? Wood sacred wood teacher that painlessly teach me myself. From the unexplored, dark depths in which to put a hand to regulate the gears of unconscious mechanisms ... from the same depths, they open without place, wonderful extemporaneous dimensions to discover Precious secrets, endless love, shaping, rejoining, weaving, painting, transforming, navigating, observe the poetry without words ..... the poetry of the beyond. A pure experience that recomposes your self, which gives you great understanding and care. I am profoundly grateful to myself for allowing myself to open this door deeply grateful to the universe, the mother earth and to the elements deeply grateful to the tradition that guards protect this earthly gift and their music, a conducive theme oriented to the expansion, and deeply grateful to my a guide that has accompanied us with heartfelt love, thorough dedication and wisdom and infinitely grateful to all that, as a constant presence, has always supported me. Thank you for this free dance of union love and creation."

I am here to tell you about the amazing experience I had with the master African Plant in a ceremony guided by Rodolfo. He welcomed me and another girl and hosted us very nicely from beginning to end . It was a weekend long journey into the deepest realms of the self ;-) I got many answers and realizations to issues and questions I had prepared for the ceremony . After it I followed up with the homework lets say , and went through important Changes in my life that reflected some of my deepest desires and abilities . I feel a lot of Gratitude for old traditions and knowledge , of the plant world and their properties that have been passed on from generation to generation till the present moment. Wishing that all guides will work with integrity of intention from a grounded heart place for the well-being of the human race. An experience suited for all people that need to improve their life situation ....as it clears the waters and brings clear visions of consciousness Inherent to ones own issues . Thank you Rodolfo :-)

"I could not have had a better guide than Rodolfo. Someone who thinks of all your needs and feels what you need on which moment. He is there with you throught the whole process. I felt so safe. And because of Rodolfo I could finally be lazy. I was feeling like royal. This was the most amazing week of my life. Akón changed my life. Everything was so perfect. Everything needed was present. I enjoyed the location too so much. So peaceful and to hear the sea was the perfect background sound. His guidance, support, company, house, environment, music, essence, wisdom. I am healed physically, mentally and spiritually. He opened a new door. This won’ t be the last time."

I am Solaris, I am Daniel.
Two, but One.
I go on the slopes of consciousness with everybody else.
Gandhi is here, like a little bird of attention.
He is a small and terrible being, full of eager.
Rudolfo is the monkey-king: charming, beautiful and goofy.
He picks up people from the bottom of consciousness and throws them upwards.
My mother also does this but she is not Monkey-king.
I do this, but I am no Monkey-king. I am something else: old and wise despite my youth. I am happy.

Thought is instant and chaotic, but there is no fear.
There have always been fear – why isn’t there now?
I see, I learn. I understand. I appreciate.
It is beautiful.

What is this?  Is this life? Is this death? Is this everything there is? No. But it is key – key to happiness. Key to acceptance. To have a better life so you can crave the next secret instead of trying to stay alive.

"Akón is an impeccable shaman who delivers the holy wood with compassion and deep insight. I participated in two initiations in the past 3 months and my heart, mind and life has been transformed. Iboga is truly a medicine for the heart and mind. Bassee!"
