What if the Wicked Witch of the West wasn’t just Dorothy’s nemesis, but a symbol of a destructive force that influences not only individuals but society as a whole? In this episode, we follow Dorothy’s journey to reveal deeper truths about reality, consciousness, and humanity’s struggle with the shadow within.

Drawing on Michael Talbot’s The Holographic Universe, Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now, and Paul Levy’s exploration of Wetiko, we connect the dots between vibrational alignment, holographic reality, and the societal consequences of Wetiko—the mind virus of greed, addiction, and domination. From personal struggles to global challenges like war and exploitation, Wetiko reflects the witch’s desire to control and suppress the inner light of humanity.

Through Dorothy’s adventures in The Wizard of Oz, discover how entraining your vibration can lead to higher consciousness and how understanding the forces of Wetiko can illuminate a path toward peace, freedom, and collective healing. By blending Oz’s timeless lessons with modern wisdom, this episode offers profound insights into both personal and societal transformation.

In this episode of Yellow Brick Road Rash, we explore Wetiko—the shadow parasite described by Paul Levy—and how it manifests in our lives and this socio-political world. Using the Wicked Witch of the West as a metaphor for our collective shadow, we dive into the quantum holographic nature of reality, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the importance of raising our vibration to counteract darkness. Together, we’ll examine how to acknowledge Wetiko’s presence while reclaiming our power to create balance and dream a new reality.

Quantum Revelation (we will cover this on down the road

https://a.co/d/fdVo1Ps

This is a transition episode as we leave our discussion of the Holographic Universe and move into soul food in the form of “THE POWER OF NOW” by Eckhart Tolle. Because I felt so many people in the world are feeling pain, I thought a light review of an earlier episode on fear coupled with some tools for reducing stress would be in order. Stick with me here as I take a tiny step forward down the path. Additionally, as kind of a spoiler, this Chapter is an introduction to content I will expound on in the next video so it has a lot of value looking forward.

You may be asking, what does knitting have to do with consciousness…in this chapter we discuss the power of being in the here and now as a mechanism for clearing the background noise being caused by all the dissonance in the world. In many prior chapters I have discussed being in flow…knitting takes concentration and focus, but out of that focus comes a work of art. Follow along to see how that thought experiment leads us to more clarity on how to move forward out of madness.

if this is an introduction to Eckhart Tolle for you, and you find the material intriguing- please go down this rabbit hole. It is significant in the consciousness and religious/spirituality discussion.

Keep breathing, and take care my friends. We will move forward together! The sum is greater than its parts.

The Power of Now paperback

What if our world is more than it seems—an illusion created by the mind, with consciousness at its core? This episode delves into the mysteries of the Holographic Universe, as inspired by Michael Talbot’s groundbreaking work. We’ll uncover why the brain might function like a hologram, reflecting a deeper, non-material reality, and how this viewpoint transforms what we know about altered states, intuition, and the interconnectedness of all things.

Through the lens of Bohm’s implicate order, we’ll explore how consciousness could shape reality itself, with tools like meditation, holotropic breathwork, and near-death experiences revealing hidden layers of existence.

Welcome to Quantum Storytime on the Yellow Brick Road Rash channel where we discuss quantum physics, metaphysics, Jungian archetypes, paranormal, spirituality, etc through the eyes of Dorothy Gale on the yellow Brick Road.

In this episode, we dive into David Bohm’s groundbreaking work on holography and the undivided nature of all things, as explored in Chapter 2 of The Holographic Universe. Bohm’s theory suggests that everything in the universe is interconnected, much like a hologram where every part contains the whole.

I’ll connect this concept to The Wizard of Oz, highlighting moments where Dorothy’s actions—like taking the apple without asking—reflect our need for mindfulness in how we treat each other and the planet. Contrast that with the Emerald City’s welcoming, where they wash the heroes’ feet, symbolizing the kindness and unity we should aspire to.

In an age of division, it’s time to reconsider our interconnectedness and take responsibility for the care we give to all living things.

Welcome to Quantum Storytime on the Yellow Brick Road Rash channel where we discuss quantum physics, metaphysics, Jungian archetypes, paranormal, spirituality, etc through the eyes of Dorothy Gale on the yellow Brick Road.

In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking concepts from the first chapter of The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, exploring Karl Pribram’s early work on how the brain stores memory using the holographic model. We’ll also take a deep look at The Wizard of Oz, examining the existential angst Dorothy and her friends experience, and their ontological shock upon realizing the Wizard is a fraud. How did the Wizard manage to fool the citizens of Emerald City? It all ties into cargo cult theory, where belief shapes reality.

As we discuss the parallels between quantum science, cargo cult mentality, and the “Prime Directive,” this episode raises questions about the nature of reality and how we must break free from cultural illusions to see the big picture. We are living in an era where quantum science begins to explain what was once deemed paranormal—join me as we unravel these mysteries and lay the groundwork for future discussions.

Welcome to Quantum Storytime on the Yellow Brick Road Rash channel where we discuss quantum physics, metaphysics, Jungian archetypes, paranormal,  spirituality, etc through the eyes of Dorothy Gale on the yellow Brick Road.

In this episode, we dive into the Jungian concepts of *anima* and *animus*—the inner feminine and masculine aspects within us all—and explore how balancing these energies can foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. By reflecting on the classic *Wizard of Oz* characters Dorothy meets, we uncover the ways in which the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion struggle with their own male/female dynamics.

I’ll also introduce three male figures from my personal journey, men whose creativity, compassion, and big-picture thinking inspire me through their podcasts. Perhaps they are my muses, guiding me to better understand the anima/animus.

Collective unconscious- part of the human psyche that is shared by all people and is considered to be inherited from our ancestors, according to Jung. It is a deeper layer and contains archetypal patterns representing universal symbols and ideas not based on one’s own personal experiences. Study.com

Unconscious- a part of the psyche not readily available to conscious awareness. It contains repressed memories and personal experiences specific to an individual. Why UNconscious? Because it is not something we are readily aware of in our conscious waking life.

Subconscious- allows us to do things we don’t have to think about- like breathing. Another example is memory- pianists don’t have to look at the piano keys to know here the keys are.

Consciousness- “being aware that we are aware”. It is believed to be what separates us from other animals. Other animals can feel, but are they aware they can feel?

Collective conscious- a social concept that refers to the shared ideas, elders and knowledge that exists white a society. A unifying force that emerges from the interactions of Indic=visuals and is sustained by language, culture, and collective memory.

Anthropomorphic- having human characteristics
