Flooding tomorrow
Good luck and safe journey Gostof BillHicks! norene85
Something to make you smile, although I am sure you have seen it already. Great clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX1CvW38cHA Your experience with these other compounds and practices, along with the massive amount of reading you have likely done on Iboga, has prepared you tremendously. I think it's best to enter the experience as calm as possible, like most situations, especially with psychedelics. Journey well!
Okay, GhostofBillHicks, I hope you have your sitter, sounds like you are ready to go, let us know how it went will ya? roxine
First tip, as long as you have a sitter, don't be nervous :-) You are in safe hands. Relax. God Bless.
That's the formula to success so no luck needed. By success I interpret respect. Look forward to the report.
Hi BillHicks, been reading your threads. Im also from England. Just wanted to wish you luck on your flood.
You will awake anew, like a newborn baby. Fresh, clean, without attachment, without any foreign unintended urges, crystal clear thoughts like never before..You will arise anew. What you do with it, is up to you. Good luck and enjoy the freedom! Take it as far as you can! Life is meant to be lived, your senses will awaken to help you engage in life fully like when you were a wide eyed child full of wonder and zeal. You have come so far and now, you will soar! Focus as soon as you can, on sustaining it. Opening the door and walking through is most of the battle, but sustaining it..-That becomes the new daily goal. One step at a time and actually doing the things that are most important to you while reveling in cleanliness and clear -headedness will encourage your persistence. FREEDOM!
Sing it loud and sing it proud RISE! FREEDOM!!!!
Welcome to Ibogaine Club! This song came to mind when reading this thread, so I'll copy and paste it here: Liberty Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia Saw a bird with a tear in his eye Walking to New Orleans my oh my Hey, now, Bird, wouldn't you rather die Than walk this world when you're born to fly? If I was the sun, I'd look for shade If I was a bed, I would stay unmade If I was a river I'd run uphill If you call me you know I will If you call me you know I will Ooo, freedom Ooo, liberty Ooo, leave me alone To find my own way home To find my own way home Say what I mean and I don't give a damn I do believe and I am who I am Hey now Mama come and take my hand Whole lotta shakin' all over this land If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck If I get a notion I'll climb this tree or chop it down and you can't stop me Chop it down and you can't stop me Ooo, freedom Ooo, liberty Ooo, leave me alone To find my own way home To find my own way home Went to the well but the water was dry Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky Looked in the bottom and what did I see? The whole damned world looking back at me If I was a bottle I'd spill for love Sake of mercy I'd kill for love If I was a liar I'd lie for love Sake of my baby I'd die for love Sake of my baby I'd die for love Ooo, freedom Ooo, liberty Ooo, leave me alone To find my own way home To find my own way home I'm gonna find my own way home
That is such a great song man. Hey brother hit me up on the natural highs. My net was off why I wasn't around for like 3 weeks. This is IL. your pms are full here or off it says so I had to post to on of your threads to get this to ya.
Deeply upset, as my trip (which was 4g ta) stopped working after I threw up at 5/6 hrs in. And now almost 14hrs later just feel a bit dizzy Can't afford to do it again and been building up to this carefully for months. And my girlfriend/sitter just turned on me and started shouting then crying. Feel like I'm in hell.
Look at how Iboga can change you! I love it! It only gets better.... And it's happening! This is common, people thinking "it didn't work" right after their first flood. I actually spent too long during my first flood (detoxing from saos) thinking I just wasted thousands of dollars that I didn't even have. Ha! If that me could see this me now. BAM!!! Whack!!! Plonk!!! Bong!!!! Listen to the wisdom of the family. You will be karate chopping through your days in no time.
So I have done 4 floods total. 3 HCL, and 1 TA. The TA was 1.5 grams and I didn't puke, was considered a heroic dose to an elder, it lasted 20+ hours..... Great example of the insanely large difference in dosage between people and between Iboga. Know yourself and know your source, respect the tradition and surrender yourself to your next phase of your evolution.
Ghost, Don't be upset. It may have worked better than you know. Many people feel, "It didn't work" right after their first time. It happened, and you don't need to do it again! Give it a chance to work. Then the next day or day 3 is when you realize, "hmmm, I feel good!" Just give yourself a chance. The best thing you can do right now for yourself is whatever you can to make yourself feel better......if that means tuning out for a bit that's fine I think. Your gf needs to calm down. Manage up with her. Be kind, and realize that any drama that you create or intake will only set the stage for a bumpy road. It's going to me okay. You are not alone. Blue
sometimes5/6 hours is all it takes, some do purge at the end of it... did you get any visions? Purging is a good sign that it worked... hope you start feeling the glow soon, roxine
I've never purged doing iboga, but by 5 or 6 hours in, the ibo has fully kicked in. How did you feel at 6 hours? You say you are dizzy at 14 hours. How dizzy? Barely able to walk straight dizzy or just a fuzzy head dizzy? Lalababa is probably right on thinking that 5 or 6 hours was enough. Probably normal to "feel like shit" at 14 hours. Give it a few days and see what comes. Your girlfriend is upset because she cares for you and wants the best for you. Good luck.
HI em25, I am so sorry that it didn't work out as planned. But s****t happens, to all of us all the time. In my case we wasted our last hcl doing it rectally and it didn't work out. I wasted 250US$ worth of bark, by fucking up my extractions... So relax now, I am sure you had some benefits... and then slowly analyze what happened in a new thread. take care roxine_writes
Really heartening words, thank you. I did have visions, anazing night time jungles exploded around me. Before I was sick, the nausea was overwhelming and I was felt, still in safe hands. I need to take the long view here, you're right, and see what it has done in a couple of days. The road is long. Thanks.
Purging is actually good for you, and part of what iboga does. A release of all kinds of negative energy. Give it time.
Hi, GhostofBillHicks, I hope you are feeling a little bit better today, in a couple of days you may be feeling quite great even. I personally think that Iboga will usually give you exactly what you need. Seems like you had some interesting visions... I think some people expect more from the visions, especially if they are experienced with other psychedelics... some only see black and grey shapes and figures.. Did you hear any voices? I also have never had the slightest bit of nausea during a flood, but that may because I have a benzo build up for so long, who knows really, I purged by peeing A LOT, even though I didn't have too many liquids... Take the long road, exactly! I would bet that you will find yourself smiling and laughing a lot more in the coming days... listen to some good tunes, dance around the house... get as much exercise as possible, and of course the diet, when you get your appetite back. I hope you can explain to your girlfriend that this in fact probably did work for you ( you don't want a lot of negativity around you right now)... feeling like "hell" right afterward is very common, but that will fade and you should feel the bliss shortly, this is what I am betting on.. Keep us posted will ya? roxine
I have been taking Iws boosters since my flood (300mg) and have been feeling better and better. Much cleaner head and I feel much stronger but also more sensitive. I have been drawn to fresh, natural and unprocessed foods. I am still smoking weed, but it doesn't feel problematic and I wo t mind when it runs out. I was panicking bout the long list of things to do for work next week, so I took positive action and went in today, straightened things out. I feel powerful and whole. I feel bad I ever doubted and wrote a million confused emails to Michelle, who handled me wonderfully. You guys too, totally helped the process. I can't thank you enough. My cup runneth over. Yours in the quest, Ghost
Great to hear it my man! So happy for you that you are feeling the glow. Sounds like you had some good visuals too, based on your journal report. btw, love your nickname. I was lucky enough to see bill hicks on tour back in 92' when I was real young. It will be 19 years on Feb 26th that he passed away. He was an instrumental catalyst in getting me on my path.
Really rooting for you to get through it.. Stay strong.
Been caught up in my own world, and failed to say good words to you. I know you took the time to say nice things to me. As the others say, ibogaine sometimes works and we don't know it. On my ibogaine trip, I don't think I realized it had 'worked' for 24hr. And like you, I was never overwhelmed. I feel like I could have taken twice the dose I did (1gram hcl + 3/4g TA) and will probably take a much higher dose in a year for "spiritual" purposes. I'll keep up and let me know if you need any encouraging. If it worked for me, it will work for anyone.
