The concept of “wetiko” in Native American culture refers to a mental virus that explains the destructive behavior and evil happening globally. Paul Levy suggests that the solution to combat this mind-virus and heal ourselves and the world is found within wetiko itself.

Levy explores how experiencing triggering events, getting hurt, or suffering can provide insight into the workings of wetiko. This understanding can then transform our difficulties into moments of awakening. He uncovers how unaddressed ancestral trauma can be the root cause of wetiko and how it gets carried through families. Levy also sheds light on the wounded healer/shaman archetype, which is currently prevalent in humanity’s collective subconscious. Recognizing this archetype can aid us as we navigate the descent into the unconscious and the limbo between our past and future worlds.

We talk about

• Daemons vs. angels
  
• Escaping the matrix
  
• Blind spots in our unconscious
  
• Non-local – no 3D time
  
• The dangers of organized religion
  
• How your genius was turned against you
  
• The family curse
  
• Child abuse
  
• Quantum Physics and Spirituality
  
• Techno-virus and Wetiko – Artificial Intelligence
  
• Owning our creativity
  
• The inner disease of the soul
  

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.
