 Ob Art Assemblages and rock Balancing Manifesto

The purpose of art is to investigate the broader context of what it means to be human. The practise of rock balancing belongs to the legacy of objective art, which also includes the Great Pyramid and the magnificent cathedrals. It is objective in nature since it embodies both an aesthetic philosophy and some pragmatic rules that give its art recognisably recognisable traits. The focus of rock balancing is on expanding the realm of the feasible inside a high aesthetics laboratory.

The act of creation, which springs from an aesthetic sense and a corresponding situation or circumstance, is highly valued in the philosophy of balance. The philosophy of balancing places utmost value on the creative act which originates as an aesthetic perception and a corresponding state or condition of being. It is then the artist’s task to capture or express this perception in a work of art which enables the viewer to have the same experience. This art is an attempt at exact communication, not an exploration of the subjective states of the artist.

According to the philosophy of balance, the creative act, which springs from an aesthetic sense and a corresponding situation or condition, is of the ultimate worth. The creative act that springs from an aesthetic perception and a related state or condition of being is highly valued in the balanced philosophy. The artist's job therefore is to convey or capture this impression in a piece of art so that the viewer can also share in the experience. This art does not explore the artist's subjective states; rather, it attempts to communicate precisely.

Exact discourse is necessary for all conscious work and is the starting point for all operations.

May any good energies created by these small efforts be for the real benefit and liberation of all sentient beings without exception.

Holy-Affirming, Holy-Denying, Holy-Reconciling, Transubstantiate in me For my Being.

 

Finding oneself to be especially touched in the feeling centrum; warmed and softened, enlivened that we have come together to study this path - is where we could begin.

The human biological machine as a transformational apparatus.

May any good energy created by these efforts be for the real benefit and liberation of all sentient beings everywhere without exception.

Iboga with the intention of spiritual enrichment, treatment of “weaker addictions”, etc. and Iboga with the intention of treating severe addiction

Start by doing 30 days dieta.  No sex during this. writing  your intentions  down.. go on a 20 km walk contemplating your intentions. Take a spiritual bath. The ceremony is every saturday night until sunday morning.  Start taking your iboga at 3 pm by a fire.. Sing chant pray and trance dance for the ancestors then sit and look in a mirror or at the fire..

The dosage per ceremony is usually between 5-10 grams, the procedure is that it usually starts in the evening and lasts all night, and every hour is taken plus or minus 1 gram (according to current feelings , for example 0.5 grams or more, even 1.5 or 2 grams) for 5-8 hours, so the dose gradually increases and the effect increases more and more.

It is recommended to prepare a pleasant environment, play your favorite music, and submit yourself to the process (lying down, for example in bed). It is usually supportive to have a scarf or an eye mask on your eyes so the surrounding influences disturb as little as possible.

Iboga dosage by weight

Everybody is different. The amount of Iboga for the home ceremony should be adjusted to the body’s constitution.

I state the usual indicative amount that a “patient” should take in order for his treatment to be effective. Usually, the lower recommended amount from the stated range will suffice.

This is the total amount of Iboga, which does not need to be consumed at once, it is of course possible to divide it into several sessions.

Iboga Microdosing

0.1-0.5 grams for one use (often we use 1 capsule, which contains about 0.3 grams of ground Iboga root).

Iboga with the intention of spiritual enrichment, treatment of “weaker addictions”, etc.

If you are more or less healthy, you do not suffer from any annoying addictions, and your reason for Iboga is mainly the exploration of your own soul or the Universe:

Women 0.1 – 0.3 g * weight in kg (example: woman weighing 60 kg 6-18 g)

Men 0.1 – 0.4 g * weight in kg (example: a man weighing 80 kg 8-32 g)

Iboga with the intention of treating severe addiction

For the effective treatment of heavily “devoured” addictions, such as alcohol, cigarettes, as well as for the treatment of addictions to drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine or other recreational drugs:

Women 0.2 – 0.4 g * weight in kg (example: woman weighing 60 kg 12-24 g)

Men 0.3 – 0.5 g * weight in kg (example: a man weighing 80 kg 24-40 g)  Iboga at home alone without supervision should only be used by healthy people who already have some psychedelic experience and is not recommended. Get a sitter or guide to help you. Contraindication is the use of drugs, especially antidepressants! If you take the pills, drop them off first (if you can handle them yourself, congratulations, but if you can’t drop your pills yourself, contact me and I can probably give you effective therapeutic supervision). The safe time for the Iboga ceremony after discontinuation of any conventional drugs, including psychotropic drugs, is for at least one month. Longer is better. The tolerable period is minimum 14 days. The minimum required for your (un) safety is a week If you can’t stop taking the pills yourself for at least a week, it will probably be nice to arrange a holistic consultation or therapy. 

Other contraindications to the use of Iboga – diseased heart, including the suspicion of any classic heart disease, medically diagnosed, such as cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, pregnancy and lactation, diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, stomach ulcers, hepatitis, high blood pressure, severe obesity, pneumonia, kidney, liver and intestinal diseases, mental health problems and psychiatric illnesses.

How about a home Iboga ceremony? 

Buy Iboga in quantities according to your intention and weight (see above).

Plan a suitable date, take into account that the next day you need to take time off to rest. It is definitely not possible to drive a car the next day.

Focus as much as possible on clarifying your intent. It is advisable to formulate it in writing, this will usually clarify a lot of things.

Follow your diet as best you can – the most important is the last week – be sure to omit meat, dairy products, fast food and industrial foods, omit sugar, salt, flour, coffee, smoking cigarettes and weed including other, albeit natural, medicines, especially stimulants ( kratom, extracts etc.). Yes, I’m strict with you now. What do you have left? Well, the best food that you can eat like fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, sprouts etc. In my opinion, the raw vegan diet is absolutely ideal and always beneficial for the body, not only before and after taking Iboga.

Well, all right. Day D is here. Do not eat anything 5 hours in advance (preferably all day). Water or herbal teas (unsweetened) should be enough to drink.

Prepare for your ceremony site. Will you probably be in bed at home? Fire (as opposed to Ayahuasca) is not completely supportive. If you are going for higher doses, it is the best to be at home, calm and safe.

Prepare music, it is suitable to be pleasant, calm, flowing, ethnic, mantras, songs of medicine, also classics such as Beethoven’s or Mozart’s symphony. Or you know the instrumental flow of pianist Ludovico Einaudi, guitarist Estas Tonne? Definitely, what I recommend you, play “Iboga Bwiti music” from YouTube for a while. Fascinating, monotonous at first listening, but with Iboga in you, I suppose, you will understand it better.

Prepare an “altar”. Your Iboga definitely belongs to him, I recommend a nice bowl, candle, flowers, water and glasses, or crystals, protective and your favorite objects, musical instruments (with the full effect of higher doses, you probably can’t even play, but from the beginning, before Iboga starts in full may be in a mood to play). Also, if you have, an accurate microbalance to consider your dose. If you don’t, you have to estimate it. Arrange everything nicely. Women certainly know how to do it, for some men it can be new.

Other things that may come in handy are a bucket for possible vomiting, a pencil and note paper, an eye scarf. A comfortable place where you will be warm for the next hour and no one will disturb you.

Beginning of the ceremony – start after dusk or up to an hour before sunset. At night is more peace, people sleep and ghosts come to life… In fact, Iboga is better at night, darkness is an important factor, because Iboga medicine is prepared from the root, from the darkness, and takes you into the world of darkness…

If you have everything ready and it is already dark, boldly to Iboga. How to make it and how many at once? Wait a minute, not so fast. You have to pray first. Take a bowl of Iboga in your hands and thank yourself for being here. Thank Mother Earth for her gifts, thank the people of Cameroon for taking care of Iboga for years, thank the Sun, rain, wind… Thank the planes, staff, transport company, Ladirna.cz and you can thank to the author of this guide too. Nicely ask your spiritual protectors and allies for presence and guidance. Thank also the Father of Heaven, the Great Spirit Creator, because without Him not even a fart will come out of your ass 🙂 Of course I’m kidding, but it’s really important. Don’t forget to pray, either to pray properly in spirit, or better yet, aloud, however, in your own words. Because remember, the difference between good and badly administered and accepted medicine is probably the lack of prayers and blessings. The longer and deeper you meet with the plant allies, you will most likely give me the truth…

Take your first dose. I recommend starting with 0.5 grams, if you are a little afraid of what awaits you, because you can always add a dose, but it is no longer possible to take it back. If you are looking forward and you know that you are OK, you can take as much as 1 gram… I do not recommend it more for the first time and right at the beginning. But of course it’s up to you. Make a note of the time and amount of your dose on paper. I usually pour a measured Iboga powder on my hand and just lick, you can of course use a spoon. One teaspoon is about 0.5 grams of Iboga, as a guide, if you do not have weight. And then you drink water. Be prepared for a bitter, not entirely pleasant taste. One person I performed the ceremony evaluated Iboga’s taste as sand… But, you can get used to everything, I don’t even think of it… The advantage of the capsules, of course, is that they just swallow and drink a little and save the taste of bitterness in your mouth. So good, did we make it? Congratulations, you have Iboga in you, there is no way going back now.

Play your music, sit down (as long as you can) or lie down as you wish. And meditate, watch how you feel, think about yourself… And let the Iboga effect develop in you as best as you can. Be sure to leave your cell phone off, Facebook etc. Playing music is OK.

Wait at least for 1 hour. Iboga is quite slow (significantly slower compared to Ayahuasca). It takes a while to take over you and for your mind to recede into the background… In 1 hour after the first dose, you should slowly feel something. Soft armor or “other feelings” on the body, probably peace and quiet… Fine. If you do not feel worried, nothing in your body strikes you, it does not hurt, it is not unpleasant, but you clearly feel that you want more, you can add another dose. Half a gram or a gram, maybe a little more? It’s up to you. You should already be connected to medicine, so follow it as you feel. You dare, swallow, drink water, write down time, lie down and let it work, wait for another hour.

In two hours from the beginning, if you have eaten at least 2 grams, you should already feel something clear from Iboga.

You can gradually add more and more doses of Iboga every hour, so you get take it 5 or 6 times. So when you start at 9 pm, you are “done” at 1 am. Quantity always according to your feeling and intention, like 1 gram, 1.5 grams, 2 grams…

The main effect of Iboga usually comes within 3-5 hours after ingestion. Sometimes it can of course be moved forward or backward, everything is individual. The more Iboga you take, the stronger and longer it is.

From 3 grams upwards you know the effect quite a lot, but you are still fine, it means that you can still take care of yourself, go to the toilet, etc. From 5 grams it starts quite “fun”. The body is heavy, anchored to the ground, at times you feel that the world is spinning with you, maybe you are “elsewhere”, at least for a while. You may be watching a movie, but your eyes are closed and you see something interesting but you know that it belongs to you, even if it’s not entirely pleasant. Maybe it shows you what you’ve done wrong in your life, like a jammed tape. Then you probably have to find a force somewhere to turn it off or start recording a new tape… Just take it as a comparison… Maybe Iboga takes you to hell? Or to heaven? Or to a completely different life and you are experiencing something with someone else? As real as if you really were there? It is possible to see, experience, hear… suddenly you may have information about something you never dreamed of. But where does it all come from? And where is the beginning and the end of everything? And how to get out of it?

If you continue with Iboga further and further, and you take even more grams, from about 8 grams, but definitely 10 grams at once, it can be already too much. Death. Maybe not only one, but you see a lot of them, you experience, you feel, you know… You are death and birth and resurrection… Colors, energies, images, forms… Where is who, where is what? Who am I? It can take thousands of years. You can be as long as an entire galaxy, or burrow into the earth like a worm. I don’t know what awaits you. Nevertheless, you are still safe and you feel good if you did not underestimate the preparation, like you had a good diet, you have a clear intention, you did not take drugs, you were not addicted to alcohol or pills… However, if you are really recovering from something, like heavy depression, addictions, or “you just need to experience it this way”, maybe you’ll have a hard time with yourself. But it shouldn’t be life-threatening. Don’t panic. Indulge in the process. Relax. Relax even more…

Learn then extend core values that acknowledge the personhood of the others. The word person is being reclaimed and contrasted with object for how we are thinking of others.
