October 14, 2025 Quest #16: Working With Wetiko, with Paul Levy
Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #16!
QUEST GUEST
Enjoy our 2nd conversation with Paul Levy about Wetiko and how we might “awaken from the nightmare mind virus.” Find our first conversation via our 3BQ channels, in which we explore the relationship between Spirituality and Quantum Physics in the second edition of Levy’s book “The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis Of Science And Spirituality.” A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul Levy describes himself as “a wounded healer in private practice,” helping others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, Levy has intimately studied with some of the greatest spiritual masters of Tibet and Burma, and served as the coordinator of the Portland chapter of the Padma Sambhava Buddhist Center for more than two decades. twenty years. Paul Levy is the author of “Wetiko: Healing The Mind Virus That Plagues Our World;” “Undreaming Wetiko: Breaking The Spell of the Nightmare Mind Virus;” “Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking The Spell of Evil;” and “The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis Of Science And Spirituality.” Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.
QUEST MAP
“Awaken in the Dream,” Paul Levy’s web site, offers a radical integration and synthesis of many perspectives from the realms of quantum physics, alchemy, shamanism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, mystical Christianity and the work of C. G. Jung. The insights that Paul Levy shares in his work “have emerged from hard-won experience of a many-year long ordeal which amounted to a shamanic descent into the dark depths of the underworld of the unconscious individual and collective psyche.” Visit https://www.awakeninthedream.com for more information and resources.

June 07, 2025How Indigenous Knowledge Reframes DNA and Life | Jeremy Narby
What if DNA is not only biology, but a clue to the deeper mystery of life?
Jeremy Narby returns to 3 Brothers Quest to explore The Cosmic Serpent, DNA, ayahuasca, Amazonian knowledge, serpent imagery, shamanism, Genesis, patriarchy, Francis Crick, Michael Harner, and the origins of life. Drawing from anthropology, Indigenous knowledge, molecular biology, and myth, Narby asks how humans might hold scientific evidence and ancient stories together without rushing too quickly into certainty.
This conversation invites Team Human to rethink human history, the nature of knowledge, the rise of patriarchy, the meaning of the serpent, and the possibility that wisdom begins by contemplating the mystery rather than trying to close it down.
What You’ll Learn:
Why Amazonian knowledge challenges Western ideas about plants and truth
How serpent imagery connects shamanic vision, myth, and DNA
Why Genesis may reflect a patriarchal inversion of older creation stories
How Francis Crick’s work raises questions about the origins of DNA
Why wisdom may require staying with mystery instead of rushing to belief
Episode Highlights:
00:00 Welcome back to Jeremy Narby
04:30 Ayahuasca and plant knowledge
08:20 Serpents, twins, and life
14:10 Shamanism and Genesis
24:40 Patriarchy and the barn

April 16, 2025Morphic Resonance, Consciousness, and Nature with Rupert Sheldrake
What if nature is shaped by memory, not fixed laws alone?
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake joins Dr. Rob Williams to explore morphic resonance, morphic fields, memory in nature, consciousness, science, faith, the feeling of being stared at, the hard problem of consciousness, materialism, panpsychism, prayer, meditation, and the possibility that minds extend beyond the brain. Sheldrake explains why the past may influence the present through similarity, and why living systems may be guided by fields rather than genes and molecules alone.
This conversation invites Team Human to rethink science, nature, education, spiritual practice, the nature of reality, and the habits that shape life across time.
What You’ll Learn:
Why morphic resonance suggests memory is built into nature
How morphic fields challenge purely mechanistic biology
Why consciousness may extend beyond the brain
How meditation and prayer work like breathing in and breathing out
Why Sheldrake sees materialism as a scientific dogma, not science itself
Episode Highlights:
00:00 Welcome to Rupert Sheldrak
03:20 Morphic resonance explained
12:15 Memory in nature
24:40 Genes, fields, and form
38:10 Consciousness beyond the brain
51:30 Science, faith, and materialism
1:04:20 Meditation and prayer
1:16:40 Re Questing Room reflections
Guest:
Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist, author, and researcher known for his work on morphic resonance, morphic fields, consciousness, spiritual practices, and critiques of materialist science. His books include A New Science of Life, The Science Delusion, Science and Spiritual Practices, and Ways to Go Beyond.
Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned:
Morphic Resonance: Sheldrake’s hypothesis that self organizing systems are influenced by similar systems from the past, creating a kind of memory in nature.
Morphic Fields: Form shaping fields that guide the development and behavior of organisms, groups, and other self organizing systems.
Morphogenetic Fields: Biological fields that shape forms such as leaves, flowers, tissues, and organs during development.
Memory in Nature: The idea that nature develops habits through repeated patterns rather than operating only by fixed, timeless laws.
Scopesthesia: The technical term for the feeling of being stared at, which Sheldrake studies as evidence that attention may extend beyond the brain.
Extended Mind: Sheldrake’s view that the mind is field like and reaches beyond the skull, especially through perception and attention.
Panpsychism: The philosophical view that consciousness may be present throughout nature in varying degrees.
Materialism: The worldview Sheldrake critiques for reducing reality to unconscious matter and treating consciousness as a byproduct of the brain.
Meditation and Prayer: Sheldrake describes meditation as breathing in and prayer as breathing out, linking inner stillness with outward intention.

February 22, 2025Mauro Biglino on the Bible, Elohim, and Ancient History
What if the Bible reads less like theology and more like ancient history?
Mauro Biglino joins Dr. Rob Williams to explore his literal translation work on the Old Testament, the meaning of Elohim, Yahweh, El Shaddai, Yam Suf, the “Red Sea” translation, the virgin prophecy, Jesus Demigod, and the possibility that biblical texts preserve memories of contact with a higher civilization. Drawing from Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and Aramaic, Biglino explains why he separates faith from translation and focuses on what the text actually says.
This conversation invites Team Human to rethink the Bible, ancient history, human origins, the nature of reality, and the recurring stories cultures tell about powerful beings, advanced knowledge, and the origins of religion.
What You’ll Learn:
Why Mauro Biglino argues for literal translation before theology
How Elohim changes the way we read the Old Testament
Why Yam Suf may mean a sea of reeds rather than the Red Sea
How the virgin prophecy shifts when read through Hebrew language
Why Biglino connects biblical history with ancient civilization research
Episode Highlights:
00:00 Welcome to Mauro Biglin
04:30 Translating the Bible literally
13:20 Red Sea or sea of reeds
20:40 Yahweh, El Shaddai, and Elohim
33:15 Elohim and advanced beings
44:10 Jesus Demigod and Gabriel
54:40 Virgin prophecy reconsidered
1:05:20 Ancient history and lost civilization
Guest:
Mauro Biglino is a biblical translator and author of Gods of the Bible, The Naked Bible, and Jesus Demigod. His work focuses on literal translation of biblical Hebrew, the Elohim, Yahweh, and the possibility that ancient texts preserve a different history than later theology suggests.
Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned:
Literal Translation: Biglino’s method of reading the Hebrew Bible by translating the words as directly as possible before applying theological interpretation.
Elohim: A plural Hebrew term Biglino argues should not be automatically translated as a singular God, but examined through its surrounding context.
Yam Suf: The Hebrew phrase often translated as Red Sea, which Biglino says more literally means sea of reeds or swamp.
El Shaddai: A biblical title commonly translated as God Almighty, which Biglino connects instead with meanings such as god of the mountain, desert, or steppe.
Yahweh: One of the Elohim in Biglino’s reading, not the omnipotent spiritual God of later theology.
Virgin Prophecy: Biglino’s reading of Isaiah 7, where he argues the Hebrew term refers to a young woman rather than a virgin.
Jesus Demigod: Biglino’s framework for reconsidering Jesus through the language of the Gospels and the Old Testament’s Elohim tradition.
Higher Civilization Hypothesis: The idea that ancient religious texts may preserve memories of contact between early humans and a more advanced civilization.

February 12, 2025The Human Path and Utter Presence with Enna Reittort
What if becoming fully human begins with doing less, not knowing more?
Enna Reittort returns to 3 Brothers Quest for a conversation about the human path, the natural human mystic, and the body as a doorway into a larger sacred cosmos. Drawing from her years with Fakir communities in Bengal, her academic background, and her life in rural Thailand, Enna explores how oral tradition, Sufi language, heart-mind awareness, and embodied presence shaped her understanding of what it means to be human.
This conversation bridges Broody Blue and Krivda while opening deeper questions about modernity, spiritual fragmentation, poverty, globalization, and the loss of older ways of knowing. Listeners will hear why Enna distinguishes contemplation from meditation, how “being breathed” changes the experience of the body, and why utter presence may be one of the simplest and most demanding forms of human attention.
What You’ll Learn:
Why the human path begins with the body, not abstract belief
How Fakir wisdom challenges modern ideas of poverty and progress
What heart-mind awareness reveals about consciousness and presence
Why non-doing can become a source of humble power
