How to break free from the collective mind parasite of wetiko *
Explores how wetiko covertly operates both out in the world and
within our minds and how it underlies every form of
self-destruction, both individual and collective * Reveals how
wetiko's power lies in our blindness to it and examines how people
across the ages have symbolized wetiko to help see it and heal it *
Examines the concept of wetiko as it appears in the teachings of
the Kabbalah, Hawaiian Kahuna shamanism, mystical Christianity, and
the work of C. G. Jung In its Native American meaning, wetiko is an
evil cannibalistic spirit that can take over people's minds,
leading to selfshness, insatiable greed, and consumption as an end
in itself, destructively turning our intrinsic creative genius
against our own humanity. Revealing the presence of wetiko in our
modern world behind every form of destruction our species is
carrying out, both individual and collective, Paul Levy shows how
this mind-virus is so embedded in our psyches that it is almost
undetectable--and it is our blindness to it that gives wetiko its
power. Yet, as Levy reveals in striking detail, by recognizing this
highly contagious mind parasite, by seeing wetiko, we can break
free from its hold and realize the vast creative powers of the
human mind. Levy explores how artists, philosophers, and spiritual
traditions across the ages have been creatively symbolizing this
deadly pathogen of the psyche so as to help us see it and heal it.
He examines the concept of wetiko as it appears in the teachings of
the Kabbalah, Hawaiian kahuna shamanism, Buddhism, and mystical
Christianity and through esoteric concepts like egregores, demons,
counterfeiting spirits, and psychic vampires. He reveals how
visionary thinkers such as C. G. Jung, Sri Aurobindo, Philip K.
Dick, Colin Wilson, Nicolas Berdyaev, and Rene Girard each point to
wetiko in their own unique and creative way. He explores how the
projection of the shadow self--scapegoating --is the underlying
psychological mechanism fueling wetiko and examines wetiko in the
context of the Covid-19 pandemic, showing that we can reframe the
pandemic so as to receive the lessons and opportunities embedded in
it. Revealing how the power of imagination can cure the wetiko
mind-virus, Levy underscores how important it is for each of us to
bring forth the creative spirit within us, which helps shed the
light of consciousness on wetiko, taking away its power over us
while simultaneously empowering ourselves.
