Wetiko doesn’t objectively exist, and yet, at the same time, it is not merely our projection or imagination. Instead of an either/or universe, where phenomena like wetiko are either real or unreal, there is an...

We are currently in the midst of the greatest epidemic sickness known to humanity.

There is no talking rationally, using logic or facts, with someone under the spell of the psychic epidemic, as their ability to reason and to use discernment has been disabled and distorted in service to...

When the contents of the collective unconscious become activated, they have an unsettling effect on the conscious mind of everyone. When this psychic dynamic is not consciously metabolized, not just within an individual but collectively,...

The psyche is the essence of humanity, its greatest instrument, an indefinable, multidimensional creative entity of enormous scope, subtlety, and power that eludes all attempts to explain it, including this one. The psyche becomes impossible...

There is a psychospiritual disease of the soul that originates within ourselves and that has the potential to destroy our species or to wake us up, depending on whether or not we recognize what it...

Wetiko psychosis is at the very root of humanity’s inhumanity to itself in all its various forms. As a species, we need to step into and participate in our own spiritual and psychological evolution, which...

Instead of focusing on isolated objects and events, we can expand our fixed perspective and allow the deeper process (often taking the form of a mythic narrative of some sort) that is animating events to...

Paradoxically, in descending into the depths of the unconscious in order to deal with the prima materia of the shadow, we are simultaneously on the path of ascending to the truly real, as we become...

Indigenous people have been tracking the same ‘psychic virus’ for many centuries, calling it ‘wetiko’ in Cree (windigo in Ojibwa, wintiko in Powhatan), a term that refers to a biologically wicked person or spirit who...

Trauma is a unique phenomenon all on its own, as if it is an entity in and of itself.

In order for our minds to comprehend something, there must be an appropriately structured neural structure called a ‘frame’ that makes it possible to contextualize, make proper sense of, and mentally ‘see’ the thing. Our...

Wetikos can psychopathically (and thus toxically) mimic the human personality perfectly. If it serves their agenda, they can be convincing beyond belief, making themselves out to be normal, caring, politically correct human beings. They can...

Like a fractal, wetiko operates on multiple dimensions simultaneously–intra-personally (within individuals), inter-personally (among ourselves), collectively (as a species), as well as trans-personally (in a realm beyond our personal selves). Those afflicted with wetiko consume, like...

Evil is like a pathogen that enters a system, be it an individual, nation-state, or world-system, and exploits that system, knocking it off balance.

Evil devastates any possibility of an intellectual response; the tools of the rational intellect are as helpless incoping with the aftereffects of evil as it was in preventing it.

The ego isn’t a bad thing. If we didn’t develop a strong ego, a strong sense of self, we wouldn’t be able to relate to and engage with the extremely powerful and archetypal forces (both...

Wetiko is elusive and mercurial, for whatever we say wetiko is, it isn’t, in that it is always more, less, and other than what we are able to say it is in language.

All we have to do to see is open our eyes and look. As we teach what we learn, I am in essence talking to myself.
