The mind-virus behind human self-destruction has a name: wetiko. See it clearly, and it starts to lose power.

You see it everywhere: smart people making destructive choices. Companies poisoning their own customers. Nations pouring trillions into war while their people suffer. Social media built to connect us driving us apart. We’re the one species that knowingly degrades its own habitat at scale.

Why do we keep acting against our own survival?

From Indigenous North American traditions comes the term wetiko—a life-eating compulsion that turns us against one another and the living world. Whether you approach it as metaphor, psychology, or spirituality, the effects are real—and they propagate through what we don’t see.

In Dispelling Wetiko, Paul Levy brings this insight into dialogue with Jungian psychology, framing wetiko as a mind-parasite that exploits our blind spots. Drawing on teachings shared in public sources, depth psychology, and his own harrowing encounters, Levy describes wetiko as “ME disease”—Malignant Egophrenia—a pathological self-centering that mistakes the ego for the whole. Like a vampire that can’t see its reflection, it hides in the very way we perceive reality.

The crucial insight: the moment we recognize wetiko, it begins to lose power. The cure isn’t waging war on evil or waiting for others to wake up; it starts by noticing how our attention and reactions feed the very patterns we oppose—and then withdrawing that food.

I listened to this during the Canadian Freedom Convoy 2022 and it was FANTASTIC timing! I watched and witnessed and observed and acted out a fireworks of individual and collective psychosis just as Levy describes in this book. I learned so much about myself and my path of integrity. The night before I finished the book, I had a dream that shone light on yet another of my massive outwardly and subconsciously inwardly casted shadows, allowing me a greater sense of compassion for other and self. Levy is fairly wordy and sometimes repetitive though I absolutely love his use of word play. I had to be in the mood to listen because the narrator’s tone is overly theatrical for my liking. It’s a book that might be best as a hard copy, and taken in smaller chunks for processing. I think it’s helpful to be interested in, even passionate about Jung’s ideas or you might feel a bit lost in a deep, dark, esoteric forest. I loved it and found it transformational.
