DIMITRI MUGIANIS: So what we're going to do right now
is, Matt is going to explain and go into what he's
experienced.
He's going to detail his vision.
But hopefully, we'll get a name out of it.
But it also sort of tells us what happened.
And we're all anxiously awaiting, you know?
[RITUAL SINGING]
MATT: First thing I heard was almost like a vacuum sucked me
into another world.
I heard a suck, and I started getting really dizzy.
And I went and laid in my bed.
And then I started hearing waves and echoing.
I looked out, and I've seen a kid that he was
laying down in the ocean.
And then he got up and walked across the water.
And then I see an alien come down with a spaceship from the
sky with a claw thing hanging out of the bottom of it.
And it picked up a fish, and it went back up in the sky.
It was sent, what seemed like to me, was just sitting around
the campfire with a bunch of people that like my family but
nobody I'd ever seen or recognized.
Every time I would try to talk, they'd tell me to close
my mouth, that I don't to talk with my mouth, and that I can
communicate through the plants.
They said to me, we know what you're doing, and it's OK, and
we're waiting for you here on this side.
It was like my whole body was, like, having orgasms, almost.
I felt so connected to the Earth and nature.
They told me that this is my time now.
I punished myself long enough.
And now I can do what I want.
And anything I want is right in front of me.
DIMITRI MUGIANIS: And you have no desire to use drugs now?
MATT: None whatsoever.
DIMITRI MUGIANIS: You saw the Bwiti.
And you have the Bwiti in you.
MATT: I know.
DIMITRI MUGIANIS: There's two names that I can think of that
come out of it.
The strongest one is he who speaks without words.
-It has to do with telepathy.
DIMITRI MUGIANIS: Yeah, we're going to get that translated
into Mutimbo.
[INAUDIBLE]
-It sits well with you?
MATT: What's that?
-I said, the name sits well with you?
Yeah, I like it.
I like it a lot.
SHANE SMITH: And so now you're going to go on and start your
whole new life.
MATT: Yeah.
SHANE SMITH: Well, that's awesome.
That's awesome, man.
That's great.
It makes me happy.
MATT: Me too.
[LAUGHTER]
DIMITRI MUGIANIS: We thank the spirit of iboga for releasing
our brother to us, bringing him back whole,
and pure, and good.
Here's a new man, a new baby, and the sun has begun to
shine, right on the cue, [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[INAUDIBLE].
The way we treat drug users and people who have problems
with drugs in this country is shameful.
And I think we're a better people than that.
And I think that we'll meet people whose life will be
changed because of this.
That's the amazing thing about Iboga.
It will happen for sure.
