New member soon to flood :)

Hey guys,

My name is charlene_rests - (great aspiration means major action) and the name explains in full my interest in Iboga. I have a real desire to have an experience with Iboga, as from all of your posts and what I have read all over the net, its ability to re-wire thought patterns is unparalleled. I have suffered from anxiety and negative thought patterns for quite a few years which I haven't yet been able to shake but I remain optimistic . I am yet to do any psychedelics and have had small experiences with mdma and weed, which though enjoyable haven't been able to give me those spiritual insights that I have looked for and yearn to have. Coming across Iboga was like finding a lighthouse while being lost at sea, I literally feel drawn to this plant for reasons I cannot explain. I am certain I will have a profound experience with this plant. I plan to do 3g of Iboga TA from Ibogaworld in about a months time with two sitters with me, so any advice would be greatly appreciated considering I am not an experienced psychonaut like many here lol (I do feel like I am comfortable in altered states of consciousness however).

(I'm hoping my light tone hasn't led anyone to feel as if I am oblivious to how seriously Iboga should be treated and how much preparation and care must be taken before jumping into such an experience.) Anyone with advice on how to give myself the best chance of achieving psychospiritual development through Iboga feel free to reply and share your experiences with me.

Most importantly though hello to everyone and I'm looking forward to learning more about Iboga through you all!!

Hi charlene_rests, Welcome! Thank you for acknowledging that Iboga shouldn't be treated lightly. It is truly unlike any other entheogen out there. I know you said you don't have much experience with others, but it may be worth trying some before hand. Psilocybin, Ayahausca/DMT and others can be very beneficial to psychospiritual growth as well and with less risk involved and even though they are SO different it might be a good thing to introduce yourself to other entheogens first. I hope you continue to read a lot on here and when the time comes put much intention on what you want to gain from this. Happy to have you aboard, roxine

Hi charlene_rests, Welcome aboard the ship! You are no longer lost at sea! I agree with Lala that other entheogens are safer and can also provide emotional/mental healing. But it also sounds like you have made up your mind and planned your flood. Good for you for having 2 sitters. I hope you have had a medical work up as well. My advice is don't expect to come out of the experience with all the knowledge and wisdom you need right away. Many of us find that Iboga continues to "work" on us, way after flooding. I still analyze visions, from my last flood last Christmas, as life presents it's changing face to me with each new day. Also, my signature here has held undeniably true for me. I have began walking a new path. Therefore, this change is possible for me. Where did you get your dosing advice? Why 3 grams of TA? I am not yet familiar enough with IW Iboga.......believe it or not. Blue Tiger

Thanks for greeting me with so much positivity Lalababa - Thank you for the advice. I plan to do psiloycibin and LSD with friends this summer to get myself accustomed with these altered states of consciousness. Perhaps I will do these before I do Iboga (hopefully), but I have felt a particular pull towards this entheogen since I learnt of it a few months ago so I shall let you all know as my experiences go along. Bluetiger - No I don't expect to be perfectly enlightened at the end of this experience, although I wish it was that easy lol. My main intention is to be shown areas where I can improve myself and ultimately find the direction within myself that I know is there but I am unconscious of at the moment. I am so glad to hear that the visions you experienced still have such an impression upon you, it gets me even more excited as to how much of a learning experience this will be for me. Michelle at Ibogaworld recommended 3.5gr of TA to me. I have planned to purchase 3gr, do a little more research on dosages and consume what is necessary from those 3gr. Is there a problem with how much I plan to get? Is it too little or too much? From what I have read on here 3gr seems sufficient.

Hello charlene_rests. It is great to see another person being drawn towards Iboga. I would also suggest another plant teacher prior to Iboga. There is a cool c@ctus called San Pedr0 that is easy to acquire and is a very powerful teacher. earnestdeer and roxine had great advice as they typically do, they are wise words to consider. The ib0ga will find you and present itself when you are ready, keep preparing and living that quote from Blue Tiger. Best & Basse'
