The Mind Entity That Plagues Humanity: Wetiko

In his book Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World, Paul Levy argues that all of humanity is under the grasp of a psychological illness: wetiko. Wetiko is a term used in Native American spirituality to describe a “contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the soul” and “a parasite of the mind”. In his book, Levy argues that the concept of ‘wetiko’ is present not just among the Native Americans, but in several spiritual traditions, including Kabbalah, Vedanta, and even the psychology of Carl Jung! He writes:
“Wetiko is a cannibalizing force driven by insatiable greed, appetite without satisfaction, consumption as an end in itself, and war for its own sake, against other tribes, species, nature, and even the individual’s own humanity. It is a disease of the soul, and being a disease of the soul, we all potentially have wetiko, as it pervades and informs the underlying field of consciousness. Any one of us at any moment can fall into our unconscious and unwittingly become an instrument for the evil of wetiko to act itself out through us and incarnate in our world. If we see someone who seems to be taken over by wetiko and we think they have the disease and we don’t, in seeing them as separate we have fallen under the spell of the virus ourselves.”
In this video, we will do a deep dive into the concept of wetiko, and how we can prevent ourselves from being infected by this “mind-virus”. Later in this video, we will also talk about how wetiko was perceived by the great Indian mystic, Sri Aurobindo.

“Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.” — Terry Pratchett

[Medna]

6:51 There is a class of healers amongst us, known as the wounded healers.
You can't be born a wounded healer, nor can you be made one.

But they create themsleves through adversity, trial and error, pain and suffering!

They conquer fear and find a way to speak their truth, even if they are affraid because they understand that everything we want in life is on the otherside of fear.

These healers will bring light to those who are alone and afraid.

These healers have found a way out of their darkness and were able to harness that wisdom that was gained through there pain and suffering, and were able to use it to help others.

These healers are a different kind of warrior and they are the epitome of resilience.
Some say they are not affraid of hell, because they have already lived it.

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home

The land is our mother, we must take care of her.

Those who lose dreaming are lost.

The more you know, the less you need.

We are all one. We are all connected.

We don’t own the land; the land owns us.

Time began when the dreaming began

Listen to the wind; it talks. Listen to the silence; it speaks. Listen to your heart; it knows.

The Dreaming is not just a set of stories, but a way of life. It is a system of belief, law, and understanding, connecting all things

Wetiko, Satan, The Jinn, Archons are other names in religions and cultures for this Dark force. While it helps to know that we are not that, paradoxically, we are. This dark hidden part of ourselves must be recognized and integrated. Our egos ( conscious mind ) tend to project our dark and unwanted aspects of ourselves outward onto others ( they are bad, I am good) or onto an evil entity. Ego's biggest "sin" is considering itself the entirety of Self. By doing this we reject everything that is unconscious, and invariably reject that with is deep and wise and mysterious. In a way, it is a concept of oneself and the world that is childishly mistaken and incomplete. These concepts served our survival back then, but our continued, determined attachment to them limits us severely.

An antidote to this is a very basic creative practice, it can be as simple as keeping a journal. I can't stress how important this is in todays world.

[melanieowen]

Wetiko likes to visit whenever it gets the opportunity but it’s necessary to be confronted with if you’re on the spiritual path. Being aware of it is the first step to moving forward.

[unixfreak]

I'm by no means a person of spiritual faith, but my life experiences tell me the concept of Wetiko is a very real thing. I've gone for the longest time in 35 years not knowing a label or name to call it until fairly recently. Wetiko is an energy that you can feel projected outwards from certain people, bullies who strip others dignity being the obvious case scenario. That feeling of hatred/outwards toxicity, lashing out often unprovoked. It exists. These people affected by it act much like the Agents in the Matrix. Where anyone can be an agent at any time, they are taken over by it. The nearest understanding for me is what Carl Jung talks about with the repressed shadow self, but i do think there's more to it. I see it consume people with racism, transphobia, and "othering" behaviours. The moment i sense this energy in someone, i walk away. Stay away from people who are on autopilot, they are consumed by it and they become like drones. It's the best early warning signs.

Thank you ✨ last years my spiritual path has been advancing quickly so I encountered many times Wetikos, I almost gave up my search but this Video gave me an answer: to meditate on the heart / heart chakra and to choose love to get rid of these entities.

[SpiritualAwakening]

This is a video worth watching again and again, because every time I watch it, I feel a different layer of meaning ✅

[nenirouvelliv]

Sounds a lot like the game theory concept of Moloch, intra-human arms race that makes everyone more miserable but in which everyone must participate in or perish.

[MATRICULATD]

We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of our existence and place in eternity.

I broke from my Wetiko 3 days ago. This Is my account of what happened. I am of sound mind and body the time I'm writing this. I was on a contemplative path to enlightenment through mediation. I am a scientist by trade, and I approached mediation with a scientific mindset. So, I was monitoring and observing what techniques brought me in touch with a deeper consciousness. Almost, immediately after I had a breakthrough, I felt a presence attached itself to me. I wasn't like I called it, but it noticed my elevated state and leached on. I went from joy to lifeless yet living. I started picking at my earlobe like a nervous tick. Then I got horribly sick with Covid 19 and had a week's worth of fevered dreams and hallucinations. In my fevered state for some reason I kept, involuntarily, astral projecting into a realm made as waves of an ocean, but the ocean itself is all of space/time. Each time I "slipped out" something would be pulling me back in into myself, not to sustain me but to keep feeding on me. Then, I purposefully mediated and shot through realm like a rocket. I had to form body out of light so I can turn around, because I knew something was chasing me through the realm. It was a head of a man mouth open, but the body of a serpent made of thunderstorms. I put my light hands up to stop it and light shot from my hands and destroyed it. The light was so bright, it took a while to adjust. I used that divine light to heal myself. Now that light is my whole body when I dream, and I move through the realm at will and use it to manifest. I feel a joy, purpose, and boundless energy in my conscience state as well. I don't know WTF is going on with me. I feel like a spiritual superman! I am so excited to share this because I am no different from any of you. I want this feeling for all humanity because when you are freed from your bondage you to will realized that this divine light is not a source, we DISCOVERED but RECOVERED. If anyone can tell me WTF is going with me right now....

[JPSaintAug]

This video spoke to me about some deep and important issues. Thank you for putting a name to the face of problems that I see and experience and that seem to be gripping our entire planet

[KrisThomas-]

Totally true. Start to finish. If you are able to be honest with heart and mind, you will recognize this Wetiko inside of self, and then you will recognize it in every horrible act we see committed.Not even a parasite would attempt to destroy its host in such a manor.i believe the current time we are in was intended to be our chance to sort all of the pulling and pushing going on in the mind. We each have the choice of which inner force we wish to lean towards, and it is one of the main reasons that we have been given the freedom to do as we will.

[dnlmicky]

Amazing perspective on the sickness in modern society

[cool-as-cucumber]

The dark forces are in full control at this moment, their approach is genius. The darkest night brings out the brightest of the light, its a natural sequence of unfolding.

[kensurrency]

Desire is the source of all suffering. Realizing that you have everything you need releases you from this hell.

[DreamsEnd]

Lack of motivation, constant rumination, insatiable cravings is what I'm struggling with

[mistsister]

This woke me up and I am free again. We come and go in our sleeping. ❤

[deseanbaker]

An example of the ego. Thank you for sharing and reminding us.
