Undreaming Wetiko: Breaking the Spell of the Nightmare Mind-Virus (Sacred Planet) Paperback – Import, 22 June 2023

When I picked up this book, here is what came before my eyes just when I was needing it: "Since the advent of the global pandemic I have felt even more intensely both the light and the dark aspects of myself, as if they are interdependent parts of a deeper process wherein one is evoking the presence of the other. Due to the urgent feeling that there’s no time to waste, it’s as if the creative, light-filled part of me has gotten more vibrant, while at the same time the deepest darkness embedded in my unhealed wounds also seems stronger than ever. The tension between the light and the dark parts of myself has intensified to a practically unbearable degree. As my light increases, the darkness within me is simultaneously coming to the fore, making itself known to the point where it’s getting harder and harder for me to look away. It’s as if the light is illuminating everything in me that is not of the light, everything that is dark, which makes sense, as the purpose of light is to reveal darkness. As I more deeply connect with the light of my true nature, my subjective experience is that there is a seemingly dark force within me—wetiko—that wants to prevent me from connecting with the light at all costs. This book is about shedding light on that darkness in order to allow our light to shine." [Paul Levy - Undreaming Wetiko]This is such a fit to my experience that I consider it a gift from God. I realize that my passion for the light has an effect on the darkness left within.

Thank you Paul for writing this book. You have put pieces of the puzzle together for me. I loved how you said "we are children of the tribe of our parents". I agree with you that our personality crystallizes into who we are by unresolved karma and trauma of our ancestors. I have had a strong pull to deal with ancestral dysfunction in my own family by working on myself, especially with my dreams. Carl Jung has played a big part in my spiritual journey. Your life experience, and the insights you have, are going to have a real impact on those who read your book or watch your videos. It has done so with me. I hope in the near future "Undreaming Wetiko" will be required reading in the university setting. I believe it is no coincidence that your books have showed up in my life. I have read two others as well. Your work will change many lives for the better Paul.

It is beautiful to read about the mind virus that is visible for those with eyes to see. While the book starts of interesting it becomes quickly over intellectualized over using academic jargon that makes it a tough read. It is not flowing but rather feels like wetiko itself is writing the book, repeating itself like being caught in a (mind) loop. That is not good nor bad but I had to stop reading the book because it felt like wetiko dragging on and I was not willing to give it my energy. I would love to read a more "healed" version, written from an observer stance rather than being overtaken by wetiko.

Paul Levy shows us in Undreaming Weitko how to awaken from the dream we think is reality. A must read for anyone who is on a true spiritual path.
