On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview author, artist, healer and philosopher Paul Levy, who over the past 20 years has written several books on the Wetiko — or Wendigo — entity, a psychic disease first identified by Native Americans that he believes has lulled humanity into this catastrophic moment.
Under many names, and in virtually every spiritual system, this entity has been known by humanity for millennia. Because, in part, it is humanity.
It’s also our enemy. And our shadow. It also doesn’t exist. Or does it? What actually does it mean to exist? Do any of us exist as individuals, or is that an illusion, a waking dream?
However we answer these questions, and even if we disbelieve, Wetiko may well be the cause of our ultimate extinction.
Levy and I explore evidence for the Wetiko presence, and how various thinkers and traditions throughout history have named this beast and worked to see it destroyed.
We examine the symptoms, the mode of spread, and the many ways Wetiko has shown itself to be a force in today’s world.
As Levy points out, Wetiko manifests in our shared delusion of separation, and feeds on our fear. Our anger, pride, and greed. Yet to fight the Wetiko is to become the Wetiko. So what do we do?
Wake up.
Levy argues that while the Wetiko is predatory, even malevolent, its presence is absolutely vital for humanity’s evolution. Only by facing this nemesis and breaking through to wholeness can we overcome our spiritual limitations and find transcendence.
Levy also discusses his life, his calling as a healer, and how an early family trauma led to an explosive and shattering spiritual awakening that propelled him into these metaphysical pursuits.
This initiation was deeply unmooring, and led to hospital stays and diagnoses that clearly missed the power and significance of his experience.
All of this led him to become “a wounded healer,” one who uses the empathy gained from traumatic and disordering life experiences to help others navigate their own kinds of crises.
