The iChange Justice Podcast features Paul Levy, author of "Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus that Plagues Our World." Levy explores how this contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the soul acts like a parasite on the mind. Host Joy Gilfilen, Executive Director of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition, delves deeper, examining how the behavior of leaders in the incarceration industry may intersect with the psychosis Levy describes as "Malignant Egophrenia" (ME), or more colloquially, "Mad Emperor Disease."
The discussion highlights how the perceived divisions in our world often mask the presence of wetiko. Levy argues that this mind-virus underlies many of humanity's destructive behaviors, both individual and collective. Drawing on 40 years of experience and study of quantum physics, he explains how wetiko deeply infiltrates our psyches, often undetected. This "blindness" to wetiko empowers it to thrive.
In his earlier book, "Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil," Levy emphasizes the contagious nature of this emotionally charged virus. He contends that a collective psychosis of immense proportions is currently unfolding on the world stage, driven by wetiko. This ancient concept, known to Native Americans as "wetiko," subtly operates within the unconscious blind spots of the human psyche, blinding individuals to their own madness and driving them to act against their own self-interest.
This podcast is a valuable resource for anyone involved in justice, healing, or recovery.
