Part 1: Leaving The New Age

This book is a detailed account of Paramahansa Yogananda's life, from his childhood in India to his spiritual quest and eventual establishment of the Self-Realization Fellowship in the United States. It includes his encounters with various spiritual figures, his experiences with Kriya Yoga, and his mission to spread the teachings of yoga and meditation to the Western world. The book also delves into the prophesied writing of his autobiography and its significance in spreading the message of yoga globally.

Paul Levy's "Dispelling Wetiko" offers a profound exploration of Wetiko, a term originating from the Cree language, describing a malevolent spirit or energy embodying greed, selfishness, and the insatiable desire to dominate. Levy applies this concept to modern society, viewing Wetiko as a psychic epidemic that distorts perception and feeds on unconsciousness. He argues that Wetiko thrives when we remain unaware of its influence, externalizing evil instead of recognizing it within ourselves. The book encourages readers to confront their own complicity in destructive patterns and offers a path toward healing and transformation. Levy's insightful analysis and practical guidance make this a powerful tool for personal and societal change. The book challenges readers to examine their own behaviors and the collective shadow that perpetuates destructive patterns.
