About the Author
Index
Paul Levy is a pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence and a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for nearly 40 years. He is the founder of the Awaken in the Dream Community in Portland, Oregon, and the author of several books, including Dispelling Wetiko and Wetiko. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
“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*
“Paul Levy is one of our clearest visionaries about things that
truly matter.”
*Larry Dossey, M.D.*
“Undreaming Wetiko is infused with Paul’s insights and personal
experiences spanning over decades, weaving together quantum
physics, Jungian shadow work, shamanism, trauma work, and drawing
from various spiritual and esoteric traditions. Paul gives us a
comprehensive understanding of why the world is the way it is,
while he also brilliantly shows us the way out and what needs to be
done before we destroy ourselves.”
*Bernhard Guenther, psychospiritual coach, writer, and cohost of
The Cosmic Matrix Podcast*
“Paul Levy emerges from that ancient prophetic tradition of
gnostics with the uncanny ability to transmute the poison of our
experience into medicine for the soul. This book is an unflinching
look at the underworld all around us, with all of the peril and the
promise that implies. It leaves the reader not just with the
possibility that enlightenment might exist in and through the ocean
of darkness that surrounds and assails us; it offers us a bridge, a
boat, and a ship to the other side.”
*Rev. Michael Ellick, community organizer and Christian
minister*
“This book serves as an essential guidepost to help us reclaim our
creative power from the insidious grip of the wetiko mind-virus.
With this book, Paul Levy seals his role as a master alchemist,
serving as the lead spokesperson of an emerging consciousness that
not only identifies the root of our collective shadow but also
gives us the courage to overcome it. There is no way ‘out’ but in,
and creative imagination is the key to ‘undreaming wetiko.’ Read
this book and you will never be the same!”
*Stephanie South, author of Accessing Your Multidimensional
Self*
“Undreaming Wetiko is urgently needed medicine in these perilous
times. Paul Levy provides a powerful beacon by which we can
recognize the dreamlike nature of our existence and lucidly embody
our role as co-creators. His revelations help us to understand the
trance of delusion and suffering that pervades the human world and
empowers us to transmute this darkness into the light of liberation
and knowledge of our intrinsic nature.”
*Troy Lush, composer and founder of Earthsongs*
“When we look upon wetiko with the light of love, we see the
illusion, but it only vanishes when our heart demands justice of
our mind. Thanks to Paul Levy, Undreaming Wetiko has inspired me to
live from my heart so that wetiko has no use for my mind.”
*Paul Chek, holistic health practitioner and founder of the CHEK
Institute*
“Through his wide-ranging, comprehensive research, deep and
fearless inquiry, and the direct lived experience of his subject,
wetiko, Levy has written a book of such power and conviction that
just by reading it I was changed. As if giving a transmission, this
book went straight into my heart, ignited the spirit, and imparted
in me a grounded sense of responsibility but also of agency. Isn’t
this the very thing that we all need to experience right now? That
even though we are in a precarious condition, we also have
everything within us that we need to turn the tide.”
*Gwen Burns, wellness counselor*
“Levy’s teachings offer unique, multidimensional medicine for our
personal and planetary ills. Reading this book will unquestionably
alter your perceptions of what it means to be human and how to
navigate these times by reconciling the inner world with the outer
world, the personal with the collective, the wound with the
healing, the unconscious with the conscious, and the shadow with
the light.”
*Eden Sky, creator of the Galactic Calendar*
