EP 190: Undreaming Wetiko (the mind virus): Breaking the spell with Paul Levy

We are in the midst of a collective psychosis that the Native Americans call "wetiko." Wetiko can be likened to a mind-virus. Quantum in nature, it contains both the deepest evil and its own medicine. Wetiko can either destroy our species or wake us up, depending on whether or not we recognize what it is revealing to us. A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul Levy is a wounded healer in private practice, assisting others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. He has written three books on the wetiko mind-virus - his most recent book is "Undreaming Wetiko: Breaking the Spell of the Nightmare Mind-Virus." He is the founder of the “Awaken in the Dream Community” in Portland, Oregon. An artist, he is deeply steeped in the work of C. G. Jung, and has been a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for close to 40 years. Connect with Paul Levy here: https://www.awakeninthedream.com Levy, an insightful pioneer in unearthing the depths of this psychic epidemic, joins us to unfold the mystery of how Wetiko can distort our perception and identity, urging us to awaken to our intrinsic creative power. Through our conversation, we unearth the vampire-like nature of this entity and its ability to turn our own genius against us, prompting behaviors that echo a planetary self-destruction. As we dissect the elusive threads of this mind virus, we also uncover the potential for healing, emphasizing the critical need for self-connection to combat its blinding illusions. Levy"s compelling arguments draw from the awe-inspiring implications of quantum physics, dissolving the subject-object divide and illuminating the path to self-realization. The episode serves as a call to arms, challenging you to leverage your innate creative agency to dismantle the hold of Wetiko, thus sparking a contagious cycle of self-discovery and outward expression. Our discussion illuminates how embracing creativity is not merely a personal endeavor but a revolutionary act with the potential to reshape our collective world. Tales of channeling, personal awakenings, and the rich interplay of intuition and coincidence reveal the deeper layers of the psyche. Levy inspires us with reflections on Jungian insights and the enigmatic experiences of Philip K. Dick, pondering the capacity for sudden, impactful shifts in consciousness that could signal a new epoch for humankind.  Pick up a copy of my book Finally Thriving or purchase my audiobook here: https://geni.us/FinallyThriving Join my Finally Thriving Group Program waitlist here: https://www.finallythrivingprogram.com/waitlistFinally Thriving Program Are you ready to get out of a reactive survival mode and step into your natural state of thriving?
