Halvor- from my understanding iboga (and it's derived form of ibogaine) is more useful in treating drug and alcohol addiction. Aya is different from what I have read. Iboga sounds scary to me- not sure I would ever use it unless I was an addict of some sort.
Have you read accounts of people attempting traditional iboga ceremony in Africa? Sounded scary/very sketchy to me.
Of course now there's a whole tourist industry set up in places like the Amazon for aya ceremony and one has to be very careful what *shaman* they choose. There are less than reputable one's now just looking to cash in.

As far as higher agendas go, well some group must have placed these plants on the planet to begin with. Some would say god, my thinking is otherwise.

The combo of plants used in aya drink have a consciousness of their own- quite amazing that shamanic plants are a stargate unto themselves, allowing one to access other dimensions, affect DNA etc;
