Driving to the Rez - With Inelia Benz and Larry Buzzell

If we were to consider our conscious awareness of the world to be as big as the point of a pin, then the work of sacred plants would be to show us nuances present in and around that pin. To belittle reality, consciousness, awareness, and altered states of perception is not what I am doing here. That’s not my job. Bringing a semblance of what we are actually facing, that is my job. Who put us on th...

Note: this is a re-run of episode 209 Healing has become a big topic for me in the past few months. I have seen a return to the healing lineages of my ancestors and the direct orchestration of healing and healers coming together to practice their skills. When I looked at 2024, for the light side of the split, I saw that healing was going to enter our awareness and lives strongly this year, but it...

It’s not burnout - it’s growth fatigue. Here’s how to recover and why it happens in the first place. Many years ago, I wrote an article called “ Post Event and Ego Crash Symptoms ”. I wrote it after witnessing many of the participants who had come to my events struggling once they returned home. I did some research and talked to other teachers and guides who hold events, and this seemed to be a un...

Once, and these days two or three times a year, I will host a live, in-person event. It used to be that I offered these events on my mailing list, Facebook page, Instagram, and other social websites. But a few years ago, I announced it in my Wisdom Keepers and Wisdom Seekers platform WalkWithMeNow.com (WMMN), and it was sold out within a few days. It goes without saying that I didn’t post that eve...

I know you can relate to being unheard. And I know you have said, or held back from saying, “I told you so,” millions of times in your life. Why do I know these things? I know these things because as awakened light-beings, we can see more than others can and this causes our advice to often be dismissed (usually because there is no physical proof of what we are seeing), or we are totally misinterpr...

One of the early lessons we learned from starting and running WalkWithMeNow.com (WWMN), a platform dedicated to Wisdom Keepers and Seekers who are actively studying my material (albeit not exclusively), is that a clear set of rules and regulations were paramount for its success. I went into a meditative state and wrote out various things I wanted us to interact with and within the parameters that...

This has indeed been an interesting week. To begin with, a lot of clarity has been coming my way about the nature of the split, the light/dark paradigm, the light-paradigm and the dark-paradigm. The plays on our experience, the way in which the dark side reacts to light impinging into their realms, and how things can go when meeting and working with folk who have a foot on each side of the light -...

I am not actually sure if there is anyone on Earth who is not self-absorbed. Anyone with an ego will have some degree of self absorption. I did a quick internet search on the words “self absorbed” and all the results came back with detailed advice on how to deal with self-obsessed people, how terrible they are and how you must run away from them if you meet one. Despite that, I have yet to meet so...

One of the things Larry and I have noticed time and again when eating out, is how some restaurants deliver a plate filled with flavor and life, while others deliver slightly salted cardboard. Growing up in a family steeped in mystical knowledge, it was not secret that not everyone was allowed in the kitchen. Anyone who was angry was immediately removed, for example. Why? What did it matter? You ma...

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...

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 frien...

Makah Elder Brian, Ashley, and Dr Kara share their stories and insights from their expeditions with Todd Standing. 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 wit...

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 sta...

The journey of the Shaman (and yes, I am using this word in the modern sense of native people’s wisdom keepers), sometimes involves the use of a sacred plant. In the past few months, the Iboga plant made an appearance in our community. So much so that Larry has researched the plant with the possibility of joining a ceremony. Finding a place has been quite an adventure spanning the globe from Afric...

When we think of carnal pleasures, or pleasures of the flesh, the first thing we think about is sex. Of course there are other pleasures of the flesh, such as eating, drinking, enjoying nature, music, art, conversation… all the pleasures we gain from our physical senses, our body and our mind. Carnal pleasures are not incompatible with ascension . In fact they can help. However, they are a two edg...

Often I will talk about “when I feel something in my human form” or “I experienced that in human”, or “that person can really speak human.” When I express myself in this manner, it seems to give the impression that I am not human. Or that the listener is not human. Often people will tell me what planet or vibrational dimension they are from. Often they ask which one I am from. We are here to exper...

If my life is in danger, or someone in my environment is in physical or psychological danger from an aggressor, I will defend myself, or them, without question. But when it comes to defending my integrity, my name, my work, pride, or anything else, I will simply walk away even if affected by it. Sometimes, I do get affected, there is an emotional charge to being “betrayed” by someone who professed...

Reality is defined by our bandwidth of perception. It is also co-created by sentiency at different levels of self awareness. In June 2025, I will be hosting a lecture event for WalkWithMeNow.com students. The topic for this event is The Nature of Reality. In this article I will touch upon some of the topics we will be exploring in the June event, and if you want to attend that event, join the foru...

This is a first in the fifteen year history of my newsletter! We did not manage to cover all the interesting points of last week’s newsletter on our podcast DrivingToTheRez.com , and therefore we are now going to unpack some points that we ran out of time for. Here goes: * The nature of darkness in duality Although we have covered this topic in the past, it is always a good idea to review it when...

On a recent comment on my Telegram Channel, one of my long term readers and supporters, Veronica Volkers, asked a question that not only is relevant to the podcast she was referring to, which is the one about the mystical mechanizations of the Vatican to keep human society in darkness but also relevant to all of my work for the past fifteen years. Here is her question: “I just listened to the Podc...

Greetings, Wisdom Keeper! Is your reality correctly perceived? This question has two sides. We can become cognisant of those two sides by asking, “perceived by whom? One of those sides, and the most common, is where you feel that others don’t interpret you correctly. An example of this side would be if you ever asked yourself, “why don’t people get me?” Or when you make a statement such as, “I jus...

I speak extensively on the mystical and energetic implications of land ownership in my class “ Selling and Buying Real Estate ”. In this article I want to concentrate on how the connection, or lack of, to the land the person is living on affects their ability or power to independently create their reality. As I am limited to the word count of an article, this exploration will focus on the implicat...

This year of 2025 I promised to speak more about “lineages”. The lineages that I can speak about are my own three lineages which are Alchemist, Magic and Shamanic, but I will also talk about other lineages we can tap into. Of course, I have spoken about this extensively with the Wisdom Keepers and Seekers at WalkWithMeNow.com on many monthly and weekly meetups. In this article I will do a summary...

Our Wisdom Keepers Driving To The Rez panelist, Fred, asked a fabulous question the other day. He said, and I quote: “Why do some people have experience, or internal knowing, that provides unshakable belief in woo, while others hear, read and discuss the same topics but remain forever skeptical needing to gather more evidence but forever believe woo isn't really real. Woo is any subject that we di...

Our Driving To The Rez second hour panelist, Fred, asked about the relationship between Enlightenment and Awareness. During our free, monthly enlightenment class at the Shamanshack in WA, we decided to explore this question. As a wisdom seeker, the main tool I use to advance my studies is to explore questions asked by other wisdom seekers. Without interesting questions, I would not have any idea o...
