"MENTALISM, the teaching that this is a mental universe, is too hard to believe for the ordinary man yet too hard to disbelieve for the illumined man. This is because to the first it is only a theory, but to the second it is a personal experience. The ordinary man's consciousness is kept captive by his senses, each of which reports a world of matter outside him. The illumined man's consciousness is free to be itself, to report its own reality and to reveal the senses and their world to be mere ideation. (21-4-45) It is all like a gigantic dream, with every human inserting his own private dream inside the public one. A double spell has to be broken before reality can be glimpsed the spell which the world lays upon us and that which self lays upon us. The man who has completely awakened from this spell is the man who has gained complete insight. This faculty is nothing other than . such full wakefulness. It is immensely difficult to attain, which is why so few of the dreamers ever wake up at all and why so many will not even listen to the revelations of the awakened ones."

The Short Path to Enlightenment by Paul Brunton

Grace and Devotion

The energy that flows from God to you is grace. The energy that flows from you towards God is devotion.

Grace and devotion fit together like key and lock.

Devotion to the God within—the Self—makes us resonant or receptive to grace.

Grace flows indiscriminately, unselectively, and evenly into all of creation. Only the ego prevents its reception and blinds us.

Do you want to be a servant of God or a slave of the body-mind with its needs?

All these needs are fake equivalents created by the ego-mind for what we actually long for: connection, home in the heart, true love, peace, bliss. These are the qualities of the Self, onboard features of your true nature, fundamental qualities of being—Sat-Chit-Ananda. You find them within yourself!

“The primary reality is within!”—This was said by both Jung and Ramana Maharshi, among others.

Let your desire for God be your greatest desire, and this desire will dissolve all other desires.

For this, direct attention to attention itself. Be empty and withdraw the fuel from the chattering mind. One doesn’t even really do this; for us wetiko-ized, traumatized blockheads, it usually takes time to establish ourselves there. But start, and never stop—if you are serious and truly wish to become (or be) a seeker on the pathless path.

You can achieve initial results quickly. Step back internally and witness what is happening. Stop reacting to the mind. Stop talking to it—or at least recognize that you are not the one it is speaking to. That is the ego.

Look inward “behind” yourself and bring the attention back to its source. Smile from that position straight from the heart of God through yourself into the world.

Enjoy!

"Full-blown wetikos are soul murderers who have severed all the bonds of relatedness to others, as well as to themselves, that must be sustained in order to keep their hearts open to experience so as to remain empathically connected to life. Because they continually re-create the ongoing process of killing their own souls, they are reflexively compelled to do this unto others; for what the soul does to itself, it can’t help but to do to others. In a perverse inversion of the golden rule, instead of treating others how they would like to be treated, wetikos do unto others what was done unto them. This is similar to how when we are traumatized, we compulsively give shape to our trauma by terrorizing and trying to kill in others what has been seemingly killed in ourselves. In a strange delusion occasioned by the cruelty of terror, we imagine that we are no longer a weak victim but are in fact one of the truly strong who has triumphed over the forces that once had power over us; yet in doing so, we tragically remain a slave to these very forces. Unconsciously acting out our unhealed trauma via our relationships in the world is the ritual memorializing of the scene of the original terror and trauma which haunt the psyche, but with the roles reversed. When we act out our unhealed abuse and trauma upon someone, we induce in our victim the experience we had when we were traumatized, as if we are attempting to reduce them to the feeling which we are no longer able to feel ourselves. Full-blown wetikos dream up others to experience what it is like to be the part of themselves which they have denied and from which they have split off, and are thus not able to consciously experience—the part of themselves that has been traumatized, abused, and/or vampirized. This is one of the reasons why recipients of abuse typically, against all logical reason, feel guilty about being the victims of the abuse—they are being dreamed up to feel the very feelings of guilt that the abuser is unable to consciously feel."

Paul Levy-Dispelling Wetiko

"...
Because they have lost connection to their own souls, they cannot hear the pleas of others nor see their souls, as they are lacking in the element of eros, the principle of relatedness. Their hearts are like stones, beyond any appeal, from others or within themselves. They refuse to see the suffering their actions are causing others, as this would injure their inflated, narcissistic, overly positive self-image, which protects them from consciously feeling their own pain, shame, and guilt. In the process by which they make a basic choice to shut down that which opens them up to others, and feeling empowered to the extent they are able to pull this off, their shame and guilt has been inwardly transformed into what should be called by its right name—self-hatred."

Paul Levy-Dispelling Wetiko

“Autonomous complexes,”

a term coined by Jung, are the psychologically equivalent term for what indigenous people would call “demons,” e.g., wetiko. To condescendingly think that we, as modern-day enlightened people, are too sophisticated to believe in something as primitive as demons is to not realize their psychological reality. These unconscious complexes alter our experience of ourselves. The psychic conditions which breed demons are as actively at work as ever. The demons have not disappeared but have merely changed their name and taken on another form—they have become unconscious psychic forces. Though we have dismissed the idea of demons on the altar of our rationality, to quote Jung, “Man himself has taken over their role without knowing it and does the devilish work of destruction with far more effective tools than the spirits did. In the olden days men were brutal, now they are dehumanized and possessed to a degree that even the blackest Middle Ages did not know.”10 We, as “modern” people, to the extent we are acting out our unconscious, are as much “plagued” by possession as people in the Middle Ages. However, the weaponry we have at our fingertips is orders of magnitude more technologically advanced than in the past, sufficient to utterly destroy ourselves.

Paul Levy-Dispelling Wetiko

Autonomous complexes are parts of the psyche which have split off due to shock, trauma, or breach of our boundaries, and have developed a seemingly autonomous life and apparently independent will of their own. The demonic energy of a split-off, autonomous complex manifests as if it has an intentionality, as if it seeks us out, as if it were maliciously set against us. An autonomous complex behaves like an animated foreign body within our consciousness. A split-off, autonomous complex leads a life of its own in the subterranean levels of the psyche, and is prone to instantly projecting itself whenever it is constellated in any way—that is, whenever attracted by something analogous to itself in the outside world. The complex can usually be suppressed with an effort of will, but not argued out of existence, and at the first suitable opportunity it reappears in its original strength. Due to its lack of association with the conscious ego, an autonomous complex is archetypically not open to being influenced, educated, or corrected by “reality.” An intruder from the unconscious and a disturber of the peace, an autonomous complex behaves like a goblin that is always eluding both our gaze and our grasp. The more we attribute seemingly external qualities to the autonomous complex, the further away we are getting from the psychological source of our experience. Not realizing that we are chasing a projection, we try to grasp the ungraspable as it eludes us like an ever-receding rainbow. Unreflected upon, however, these demons wreak havoc upon everyone within their sphere of influence, emitting the psychic equivalent of depleted uranium into the surrounding environment.

Some Native Americans call it wendigo:

“The wetikos destroyed Egypt and Babylon and Athens and Rome and Tenochtitlan and perhaps now they will destroy the entire earth. But neither the ‘junkie’ looking for money for a shot of heroin nor the capitalists destroying Amazonian forests for big profits are able to stop their own destructive behavior.”

"Recognizing the underlying field paves the road to healing."

Paul Levy

"Encoded in the collective psychosis is a deeper process which potentially awakens the participants, that is, all of us, to wake up to how we are all unwittingly participating in the “insanity” playing itself out in the world. This realization enables us to connect with each other “in sanity,” becoming islands of sanity in an ocean of madness. Over time the islands in our archipelago of sanity join with each other and form continents, so to speak, as we dispel the madness in the field. This is similar to when, in a dream, a number of characters in the dream become lucid and, I imagine, realize that they can connect with each other and cooperatively and act-ively put their lucidity together such that they can transform the dream. We, in this mutually shared waking dream, are in the very same situation right now, in this very moment. In a (r)evolutionary moment in time, we are invited to participate in our own evolution. Our expanding consciousness is simultaneously the cause and result of this evolutionary process."

We are the ones who give meaning to and create our experience. We are the one. When we come together in lucidity, WE are the living antidote to ME disease.

Paul Levy – Dispelling Wetiko

"There are ever-expanding numbers of us —millions growing into billions—around the planet who in various ways are being drafted by the Self to be channels for a deeper process of awakening, enabling a vast range of new, previously unimagined possibilities to become available to us. When enough of us recognize the deeper, archetypal pattern that is happening, that is, that the universe is waking itself up through us, we can “come together,” I “imagine,” and help each other to deepen and stabilize our mutually shared awakening, what I call “dreaming ourselves awake.” When we synergistically get into phase with each other, we endlessly co-inspire and replenish each other in a positive feedback loop that’s infinitely creative. Seeing our co-relatedness activates its full-bodied revelation, which in turn strengthens our seeing of it, ad infinitum. We can then heal our psychic blindness and help each other to see. All we have to do to see is open our eyes and look. It is within our capability to configure ourselves relative to each other such that we can dream ourselves awake. We are being invited by the universe to actively participate in our own evolution. As human beings, we are autopoietic agencies in co-evolution with ourselves as well as with the universe. When we get in sync with this deeper process, Lennon reminds us of what is truly possible when he sings, “the world will live as one.”

Is anyone here interested in a Dispelling Wetiko Satsang?

Meeting, here online in a video chat room and dream our beautiful Selves awaken in phase?

From person to presence?
From many back to the One?

Om Asatoma satgamaya
From the unreal to the real?
from darkness to light?
from death to immortality?

"As wounded healers, shamans, dreamers, and multidimensional artists whose tool is the divine creative imagination and whose canvas is life itself, we can “conspire to co-inspire” each other to greater heights of lucidity, or so I imagine. We can activate our collective genius and collaboratively create what I call an “Art-Happening Called Global Awakening,”2 a work of living art in which we can help each other to awaken. When the universe is recognized to be a creative and visionary work of living art, a true work in progress in which we are all participating, it becomes clear that no one fully wakes up until we all do, simply because we are all interconnected. In this light, anything less than a full and utter global awakening would be unsatisfying and miss the mark. The only limitation is our own lack of imagination, which is the very thing that is being revealed to us."

What is Wetiko?

Curse or blessing

Episode 1 of the new Wetiko series is online!

I’m very happy about this new release.

The mind-virus Wetiko threatens human beings from within. The madness and insanity in the world are expressions of this collective psychological epidemic. If we ignore Wetiko, it will grow furious and drive us into destruction. But if we decode its message, it can become the spiritual guide of the mystical self. The choice is entirely ours!

Wetiko = the hungry mind-virus
Not a monster “out there” but a blind spot in here that:
– makes us forget our own source,
– feeds on fear, drama & comparison,
– has us chasing power, stuff, or other people’s energy instead of our own heart.
The crazy thing? The “demon” secretly carries its own medicine.
The moment we see Wetiko (in our patterns, projections, addictions), we stop being its snack and start turning it into a spirit-guide back to Self.
You are not the voice in your head, not the hunger, not the story.
You’re the awareness it all happens in – the 963Hz field itself.
