• Learn the way 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 may be destructively playing out world wide. 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 turning into triggered, wounded, or falling into suffering can help us better consider 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 probably the most 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 creator 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 creator reveals that the most efficient protection and medicine for wetiko is to connect to the light of our true nature by becoming who we in reality are.
