S2 #19 / Paul Levy on Healing Wetiko
Spirit Box - A podcast by Darragh Mason
Categorie:
Wetiko is an Algonquin word for a cannibalistic spirit that is driven by greed, excess, and selfish consumption. It is a virus of the mind that underlies much evil and destruction n the world.Author and researcher Paul Levy joins us today to discuss his work on the concept of Yet, and reveals that, encoded within wetiko itself lies the very medicine needed to combat the mind-virus and heal both ourselves and our world. A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul is a wounded healer in private practice, helping others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. His work has gone through three phases: because of his intense interest in dreams (both night dreams and the dreamlike nature of reality), he was first known as "the dream guy." After writing DispellingWetiko, he became associated with the idea of wetiko. After the publication of The Quantum Revelation, he is now seen as connected with quantum physics. All three aspects - dreams, wetiko and quantum physics are interconnected and complementary facets of a deeper reality into which he is continually deepening his investigation.He is the author of The Madness of George Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis (2006), Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil (2013), Awakened by Darkness: When Evil Becomes Your Father (2015) and The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality (2018). A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, he has intimately studied with some of the greatest spiritual masters of Tibet and Burma. He was the coordinator of the Portland chapter of the PadmaSambhava Buddhist Center for over twenty years.
