PARANORMAL
WETIKO WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WRITTEN BY PAUL LEVY PHOTOS BY CANVAS More and more people are hearing about the Native American idea of the wetiko mind-virus.
DEC 2021 | OMTIMES
Wetiko—called by many different names throughout history—is at the very root of the collective madness and corresponding evil that we, as a human species, are collectively acting out on the world stage. Though wetiko is multi-dimensional, manyfaceted and utterly profound, its fundamental essence is actually quite simple to understand.
The process of identification—of who we think we are—is at the root of wetiko. “Who do we think we are?” is a real question that implies that our sense of identity is related to our thinking, to our very mind itself. Our subjective experience of identity itself is quite malleable and is a function of our own mind, which is to say we are actively participating in the moment-bymoment creation of our experience of identity.
Our sense of identity molds us, while we are at the same time the ones crafting our identity. What we don’t want is to let wetiko forge our identity for us. Because wetiko disease (which I’ve also referred to as Malignant Egrophrenia, i.e., ME disease) is, in its essence, to have fallen into a state of mistaken identity, the best medicine for wetiko is to know who we are. Our true nature, our true identity—who we really are—is impervious to wetiko’s pernicious influence. Wetiko can’t take over, possess or have any effect on our true nature, which is not an object that can be manipulated or possessed by wetiko (or anything else, for that matter). For this reason, wetiko’s strategy is to set up a substitute counterfeit version—a simulation—of ourselves. It then tricks us into identifying with this fraudulent version of ourselves. Wetiko cannot stand it when we identify with our true nature as creative beings, for then it has nothing to sink its roots—and fangs— into. If we don’t pick up and mobilize the creativity that is an essential aspect of our very nature, however, wetiko is happy to use our unexpressed creativity for us in order to serve its agenda, which we can be sure does not serve our best interests. Wetiko has no creativity on its own, but it’s a master impersonator - we can conceive of it as the ape of the divine. The apocryphal texts call wetiko “the counterfeiting spirit” (the antimimon pneuma). A master mime, wetiko creates a copycat version of us, literally masquerading as ourselves. This counterfeiter, for example, plugs into our own innate but unused creativity to conjure up a stunted image of ourselves as being limited, wounded, having problems, etc. (or, the opposite—being inflated and grandiose).

Sisterhood Retreat -Jamaica
BE LOVE! RECLAIMING SELF-LOVE Love. It is infinite, boundless, and an essential part of being human. It is easy to care for others and share our passion, but why do we find it so hard to love ourselves? We’ve all heard it before; finding love starts with loving yourself first. But, easier said than done, right? Learning how to love yourself feels like an endless process. That’s because it is. Think of loving yourself as an ongoing journey—a spiritual practice that requires consistent nurturing to embody your highest self. It takes regular selfcare rituals to restore and reconnect with the mind, body, and soul. It means mind-body awareness to nourish yourself through daily habits. It means healing from wounds of the past to move past the traumas of our childhood, past lives, and ancestors.
Although it might sound like a lot, introducing selfcare rituals and healing practices into your routine can have a powerful impact on your life. It’s never too early to start. Step into your personal power. From daily practices to sacred rituals, discover these habits to learn how to love yourself.
DEC 2021 | OMTIMES
Create a Self-Care Tool Kit
If you find yourself spiritually stuck, it can feel like a major challenge just to get out of bed, let alone take care of yourself. So, start simple. Fake it until you make it. Sometimes going through the motions of self-care will get you there, even if difficult at first. Choose a few habits to include in your “self-care toolkit.” You can always turn to these go-to healing activities for self-care, especially on days when you feel blue. It can start with something as small as making your bed or applying a nourishing skincare regime (these can be major achievements on days when we are struggling). Or maybe just going outside: try hiking, biking, walking, or paddle-boarding. Even just a 10minute walk in the sunshine can boost your mood and remind you that you are worthy of care and nurturing. Turn to spiritual activities, like sisterhood circles, meditation, or yoga to nurture the soul and connect with the deeper truth of who you are. You can also practice self-care rituals, like a Full Moon Meditation, to heal energetically and release negative patterns. Or treat yourself to healing experiences where you indulge your senses; soak in a hot bath, allow your muscles to melt at the hands of a skilled massage therapist, or rub a drop of calming essential oil in the palm of your hands, cup your hands over your nose and inhale deeply to create deep relaxation. Even spending time cuddling with your pets or sipping tea with friends can count as an act of self-care.
DEC 2021 | OMTIMES
Remember: Self-care is personal. You can decide for yourself what to include in your self-care toolkit. Experiment with new activities and allow your intuition to guide you to what really restores your body, mind, and soul.
