We had an “before iboga” article and podcast episode where I shared what my experience has been with sacred plants, and where Larry made the announcement that he would be participating in an iboga ritual.

For that episode, go here and make sure to log behind the paywall for the Wisdom Keeper hour to hear our panelists' experiences with sacred plants, their viewpoints and research.

This week, we are covering not only Larry’s experience with the iboga sacred plant, but we have also interviewed two of our panelists as well as our friend Craig, all of whom participated in the ritual.

One of the things that became clear to me, was that the plant is not to be taken lightly. There are certain things the person needs to prepare before the ritual, including cutting out stimulants such as coffee. Also, certain supplements do not participate well with the experience.

Although the ritual can last just a few hours, the work with the plant can start weeks if not months before the ritual, and can last many days or weeks after it. There was information I received for three of the participants beforehand, during and after the ritual. These were sometimes to help me understand what was happening but mostly it was almost like the plant wanted me to deliver a message that they were not listening to.

I did not participate in the ritual myself.

Larry had a bit of a tough time during the ritual. He had certain concepts and issues that were tough for him to work with. In the end, he came out of it with a certainty that he was done with addictive behaviors.

From a third party perspective, I have seen that Larry is now less willing to put up with blocks and frustrating situations. One might say that he expresses his feelings more easily. Whether the feelings are joy or anger, they are expressed more readily at a physical and emotional level. It almost feels like a block between himself and his body has been removed. Like a mask is no longer there. He also wakes early and spends hours in the morning doing physical things on our property, getting a morning sweat going, a go and do it with much less check the on-line world interference. Online world has diminished greatly in importance, while the outside world has become more important. This is a good thing/bad thing for an individual whose work now involves much more online tasks, and much less outside tasks. I did notice that the amount of online time he spends watching random videos or on facebook clickbait is greatly reduced, choosing instead to spend that online time learning skills and being busy at work.

Larry shares his full experience in our podcast here, and on the Wisdom Keeper Hour we get to interview Craig, Ashley and Fred. You will be familiar with Ashley and Fred as our second hour panelists.

It is April, and as most years around this time our friend Todd Standing comes to the Rez with his expeditioners.

Todd lives and breathes Sasquatch research. We, on the other hand, just see them as our friendly neighbors who we go out and seek once a year when Todd is here. Todd is loved by all of us and needs no introduction to our readers or audience.

This year we also had a visit from our friend Tobe Johnson. Tobe is a producer known for Voices in the Wilderness, A Flash of Beauty: Paranormal Bigfoot (2024) and Spiritual Bigfoot (2023). He is also a researcher of the link between bigfoot and the supernatural. Tobe interviewed various members of our community here at the Olympic Peninsula, including yours truly. He is also the first person to come out and ask me very interesting questions about Sasquatch and about other woo subjects, including aliens and “conspiracy theories”. I look forward to seeing what he does with the recordings.

From the perspective of these two amazing researchers, this month has been a very interesting one indeed and we wanted to share some of the experiences our own community members had during these high-caliber men’s visit to our corner of the world.

The experiences are best listened to on our podcast, DrivingToTheRez.com, where we interviewed our friend and Makah Elder Brian, and two of our own Wisdom Keeper Hour panelists, Dr Kara and Ashley.

Larry himself had some breakthrough connections and face to face experiences with Sasquatch. You might think that Larry, being a Makah Elder himself, would be an old hand at connecting with and communicating with Sasquatch, but as we have documented through the years, keeping the connections alive is not made easy by our present society and culture.

This short article is to point you in the direction of our podcast where you can hear these men and women’s experiences here at the Peninsula yourself.

Inside, find descriptions of our experiences including:

Tree breaks, Foot stomps, Tracks and trackways, Hoots/calls with answers, Tree structures, nests, Portal Cracks, Shapeshifting, Shimmer/invisibility cloaking, direct physical interaction inside the cloaking field, manipulation of canoe while we are in it, face to face interactions with multiple individuals teen aged and adult, male and female, cloaked and not cloaked, and vocalizations like drops of water. Truly amazing stories.

Recently, I was talking to one of my students about the amount of things that slip our minds. And how much content or context is forgotten on a daily basis.

At first this was simply funny, a thing to 0bserve (no I did not misspell the word. I used a zero instead of an O to illustrate an exercise I teach in the iBenz Method).

Then, I noticed how widespread this problem was. I became curious and started looking in more detail at the mechanics behind this phenomenon.

One of the things that was common is that when a person forgot something, it was completely gone. It was not one of those situations where you go get something from the kitchen, for example, and by the time you get to the kitchen you forgot what it was. You know you wanted something from the kitchen, but you don’t remember what. No. Not like that.

The situation is closer to, you sitting in the living room, then look down at your hands and see an apple half eaten. You don’t remember going to the kitchen, getting the apple or eating it. Or, in more severe cases, you are hungry one second, then not hungry the next second but have no idea why. Another person watching you would have seen you get up, go to the kitchen, grab an apple, bring it back, eat it, get up again, throw away the core, wash your hands, come back to the livingroom and sit down again.

In other words, when we forget something, we can be aware that we forgot something, or completely unaware that we forgot it.

What has been happening recently, in the past few months, is that people seem to forget things utterly and completely. Like they never happened.

As I looked at the mechanics and energy lines around this phenomenon I realized something important. I remembered what this can be a sign of.

This phenomenon happens when people are changing timelines and/or skipping in and out of timelines or the “larger Earth”.

On one of our Sunday gatherings at the Olympic Peninsula, another student mentioned how she had heard of the Earth getting bigger recently. It made me giggle because this phenomenon, of the earth changing size (a field, the length of a road, a continent, an ocean, a city) is something Larry and I experience every time we leave the house. The Earth itself is not changing size, of course. But our perception of how much of it we see and remember does change.

During one of our long drives, a time we like to listen to podcasts, we heard a man explain about how he had been taught by a CIA agent that if he didn’t want to have missing time while meeting aliens, or sasquatch, he needed to sing a song in his head during the experience. You know, hum a little tune while the experience is happening. I tried it on one of our trips that will take us 14 hours although the GPS says it is supposed to be 6 hrs, and this time it took us the 6 hours it is supposed to to get to our destination.

The mechanics behind that phenomenon, why it took us the GPS time instead of the double time it usually takes, was that as I sang, and whatever that does to the perceptions and brain functions, the perceptions and experience of the larger Earth didn’t make it through.

How about that.

This is such a fascinating topic that I thought I would share with you and I am very interested to see if you too have been forgetting stuff. Wait, you won’t remember! But you might be seeing how other people forget stuff 🙂
