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.
Dispelling Wetiko offers a clear diagnosis and a practical path back to sanity—personally and collectively.
