Episode notes

In my previous video I promised an interview with Christof Melchizedek; following my incredible journey out of the Matrix and into another dimension, neither here nor there… but physically just a few feet away from the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

Among many other things, we talk about Christof’s journey from a traditional background as fitness guru, to deep learning of light and energy healing, and finally being initiated into two lineages of shamanism: The Sacred Wood (Iboga), and The Spirit Vine (Ayahuasca).

If you’re interested in experiencing this firsthand, come to Anarchapulco where you will have the opportunity to take part in DMT, Ayahuasca and Iboga ceremonies and incredible speakers like Christof Melchizedek.

I can quite confidently say now that coming to Anarchapulco will change your life.

And, to make it a little easier for you, Anarchapulco is having a ‘Black Friday’ sale that ends at midnight on Monday, December 1st so you might see this before the sale ends. Tickets are discounted by 35% for General Admission tickets and you just need to go to the tickets page at Anarchapulco.com by midnight on December 1st.

Back to the interview, if you have always been interested in how these ‘psychedelics’ work, don’t miss as Christof explains why he calls them ‘teacher plants’ and why iboga is the most powerful teacher plant of them all.

Not because it gives visions, but because it reaches the origin point of suffering across the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies simultaneously. It goes where the mind refuses to go. It shows what the ego cannot face. And by doing so it clears the ground for genuine transformation.

I am witness to this. So is Christoff, many times over.

Across many ancestral traditions people speak of teacher plants as living gateways between worlds. They are described not as substances but as conscious intelligences that guide, reveal and unmask.

Among these teacher plants two stand out as powerful sisters:

Ayahuasca, the vine that climbs.

Iboga, the root that descends.

Together they form a complete symbolic map of the human journey through fear, memory, trauma and awakening.

Ayahuasca is known in many cultures as the little death. It teaches the human spirit to release the fear of letting go. It is seen as a guide that prepares the soul for the transition between worlds. It dissolves the illusion that the physical realm is the entire story. In these traditions the vine teaches surrender. It pulls away the veil that makes death look like extinction instead of transformation. By confronting that fear directly, the mind begins to reclaim its original freedom.

Iboga is the opposite movement. It takes you down. Deep into the unconscious. Deep into the root system of the self.

Christof explains that Iboga retrieves the buried fractures. It exposes the hidden structures the body built to survive childhood wounds, generational burdens and the silent traumas that shaped a life. It does not simply show people their pain. It reveals the exact moment the pain took root. It brings the root to the surface so it can be witnessed and released.

In Egypt, I learned of my ancestral anger… Berwick karma… generation after generation. In fact, because I did the work, my son will be the first Berwick who won’t be affected by this ’curse’ over the males in the family for generations.

That is because Iboga work naturally connects to the healing of ancestral wounds. In many indigenous and shamanic cultures trauma is not only personal.

It is inherited.

Patterns of fear, shame, grief and disconnection can pass down through generations like invisible imprints in the energy field of a family line. These old wounds influence identity, behavior and perception without people ever knowing the source.

Teacher plants are understood as mirrors that reflect not just the individual self but the entire lineage. They illuminate the burdens that were carried forward. They bring attention to the unresolved stories of parents, grandparents and ancestors who survived but never healed.

The revelations that arise from this symbolic work create a deep emotional and physical detox. In these traditions detox is not only the clearing of the body. It is the clearing of stuck memories. The clearing of repressed emotions. The clearing of forgotten grief. The clearing of energetic residue from past choices and inherited pain. The body releases what has been held for decades. The mind releases what it was defending. The spirit releases what it was avoiding. Detox becomes an act of purification that restores clarity and presence.

This purification is often described as the first step in cracking out of the Matrix.

In many spiritual frameworks the Matrix is a metaphor for the social conditioning, trauma imprints and psychological programming that shape perception.

It is the invisible architecture of beliefs, fears, expectations and learned limitations that keep people disconnected from their own inner intelligence.

The Matrix keeps people reactive instead of conscious.

It keeps them consuming instead of awakening.

It keeps them seeking external validation instead of inner truth.

When teacher plants symbolically strip away the internal scaffolding, they expose the programming. They reveal the patterns that run automatically in the background. They show the difference between the authentic self and the conditioned self.

With every layer removed more of the Matrix becomes visible.

And, once seen it loses its hold.

Don’t miss this first of a series of interviews as we explore the human journey toward remembering who we are:

Healing the lineage.

Clearing the body.

Liberating the mind.

Reconnecting the spirit.

And, dissolving the illusion that keeps humanity asleep.
