The following is a shared message from a local source or practitioner. It speaks about iboga flooding through the lenses of the soul, the body, the nervous system, and patterns inherited from our ancestors.
Iboga flooding is a soul-retrieval experience; an experience of death and rebirth, and of ego dissolution. It is the death of the flesh body as we know it—the ego—and a rebirth and reconnection with spirit and soul. You see the deepest inner truth within.
This means that you were essentially reborn with the neural pathways of a newborn child and given a chance to rewire the subconscious mind. If you do not have someone who can help you regulate your nervous system and reprogram healthy neural connections and patterns—instead of the faulty, dysfunctional adaptations that led to addictive patterns, habits, and behaviors—you can easily fall back into unhealthy habits, and it can actually cause psychosis or fear-based patterns.
Everyone’s experience will be unique. But without proper intention; an appropriate setting and location—one with minimal stimuli that could trigger past memories, and preferably one with open access to Mother Earth and nature; respect for the sacredness of the medicine; and the faith, belief, and truth that you are ready to start a new life, the experience can actually cause more harm than good.
I hope that makes sense.
Many blessings to all, and my deepest and most sincere prayers for healing and transcendence for everyone. At the same time, stay humble and realize that we are all consciousness and connected. Please carry grace and patience for all who have not yet broken free of fear-based ego constructs, and accept that some never will while on this Earth plane.
Sadly, pain, dis-ease, fear, and the spirits of selfishness, wetiko, and narcissism will pass from generation to generation until someone steps up in the ancestral line and does the sacred work to heal and BECOME LOVE.
