Publisher's summary

• Learn how ancestral trauma is at the root of wetiko and how the wounded healer/shaman archetype can help bring both individual and collective healing

• Meet the inner guide—a daemon/angel that lives within us as an ally in our encounters with the daemonic energy of wetiko

• Cultivate “symbolic awareness” as a path to creating meaning and transmute the poison of wetiko into medicine for healing

The profound and radical Native American idea of “wetiko,” a virus of the mind, underlies the collective insanity and evil that is destructively playing out around the world. Yet, as Paul Levy reveals in depth, encoded within wetiko itself lies the very medicine needed to combat the mindvirus and heal both ourselves and our world.

Levy begins by investigating how the process of becoming triggered, wounded, or falling into suffering can help us better understand the workings of wetiko in a way that transforms our struggles into opportunities for awakening. He reveals the source of wetiko: unhealed multigenerational ancestral trauma, which is acted out and propagated through the family. He highlights one of the primary archetypes currently activated in the collective unconscious of humanity—the wounded healer/shaman—and shows how recognizing this archetype can help us as we navigate a collective descent into the underworld of the unconscious, a true bardo realm between our past and future worlds.

Drawing on the work of C. G. Jung, Rudolf Steiner, Henry Corbin, Wilhelm Reich, and Nicolas Berdyaev, the author introduces the inner guide—a daemon/angel that lives within us as an ally in our encounters with the daemonic energy of wetiko. He explores how to cultivate “symbolic awareness” (interpreting events in our lives symbolically—like a dream) as a path to creating meaning, which alchemically transmutes the poison of wetiko into medicine for healing the psyche.

Ultimately, the author reveals that the best protection and medicine for wetiko is to connect with the light of our true nature by becoming who we truly are.

Critic reviews

“Undreaming Wetiko is a prophetic treatise that calls us to open our eyes to the cunning, potentially fatal forces at work in the world. Unpacking wetiko, Levy demonstrates how this mercurial power contains an evolutionary function—to awaken us to the vast creative power that we each possess. This is a must-read for any person who wonders about the future of our species and wants to harness their own unique powers to serve the collective alchemy of this critical era.”—Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D., Jungian psychotherapist and author of Wounds into Wisdom

“Provides a fascinating exploration of how to find the light that is hidden within the dark side of our human experience. Paul Levy offers one of the finest riffs on understanding the complexity of which we are composed and how to understand and work with it, thus lending new meaning and strategy to the evolutionary agenda.”—Jean Houston, Ph.D., author of The Possible Human

“Levy continues to explore and unmask the wetiko mind-virus of greed and hubris that threatens the human enterprise but also, with unique force, opens up for us ways of ‘undreaming’ its power so we can live free from its contamination. This is an indispensable manual for all serious seekers.”—Andrew Harvey, coauthor of Radical Regeneration

Transformative!

Paul Levy continues his tracking of Wetiko in this extensive and illuminating title. I most enjoyed the discussion of child and intergenerational trauma and the importance of facing and healing it.

My own awakening journey has taken a path from the external world to my own personal life, family systems and trauma that ever present to see.

I felt the narration was even better than the previous Dispelling Wetiko, I got a lot out of this. Thank you Paul for your diligent, consciousness expanding work!
