S2 #19 / Paul Levy on Healing Wetiko

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.
