I read all the praise and positive reviews and realized that I had a somewhat different view of this book. Prior to reading it I had never heard of the term wetiko but I came across it in the documentary, "I Am." So I bought Levy's book, started reading it, then discovered Levy's website and his many articles, some of which really resonated with me. I am African American and a few years ago I had travelled to the Amazon Basin of Peru. I took the shaman's visionary medicine and saw for myself many of the same things that Levy was saying about wetiko, but before I knew the word. In effect, Levy was validating my experience and speaking to some deeper truths in my life. I grew up in the Jim Crow South under segregation. My mother, younger sister, and I came to the NYC, the south Bronx. I was 12 years-old during the 70s and in the urban jungle I found at least as much segregation and prejudice and poverty that we ironically sought to escape in the South. These conditions, as far as I can tell from visiting family still there, have deepened since I left the 'hood. So looking in the rearview mirror, I went to the Amazon and sat with the shamans in five ritual ceremonies over nine days to understand 1) how my experience being black and poor had affected me and 2) why conditions in the 'hood persist to this day with seeming tenacity despite the "wars" on crime, poverty, and drugs. In the real jungle I saw in my visions, among other things, that conditions in the `hood were not necessarily what they seemed to be. Namely, they were not independent and separate, standing alone and isolated, from what was going on elsewhere. Rather, the `hood was a microcosm for what was happening in world, especially to indigenous cultures, when faced with disease, guns, steel, and Western education. In other words, if I really wanted to know the state of the world and how modern people were destroying it and themselves, I saw that I didn't need to count CO2 per billion, polar bears, or ice sheets. I could just go to the local prison and count the number of black men "on ice." I could go to the 'hood which is easy enough to find and note the conditions of its schools. I could go to the public housing projects, not 15 minutes from my home and see what they are about. After I returned to the U.S. from the Amazon, I understood that dividing and separating, delineating, demarcating, ghettoing was itself part of the problem. This "crazy" relationship between the 'hood and the world is exactly the name Levy seems to call "wetiko." He puts words to these things and I am profoundly grateful for his honesty and insight. Suffice it to say that as I was reading Levy's online essays I found he was saying original and interesting things when he was most personal, e.g., when he discusses his experiences at the hands of psychiatrists and the psychiatric-industrial complex. I wanted to know more what it was like being Levy. In a paradoxical way, the more he personalized his writing, the more general it was. It was like I could see myself in his experiences. I could identify with his pains and efforts, as well as his joys and personal discoveries. However, the book, Wetiko, takes a different path. He steps out of his personal experience, which is where his power lies. He writes about wetiko rather his experiences of wetiko. He goes into many generalities and political claims which I, for one, found difficult to follow or believe. I'm ok with political activism. I accept the Iroquois view, namely, spirituality is the highest form of political awareness. Yet, an honest assessment of the crisis right here at home in the `hood suggests that no amount of legislation, money, or well-intentioned efforts of the wealthiest nation the world has ever known has managed so far to disrupt conditions there. Indeed, it could be said in a certain way that legislation and political activism created those conditions. That's not to say that politics can't or won't alleviate them but they haven't in the last 50 years. Marianne Williamson has said, "The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one."
This is one of those rare books with a transformative psychic payload. Even before I finished reading it, I became aware of profound stirrings in my foundational beliefs about self and other, powerlessness and purpose. Suddenly this inner terrain became much more visible, and it was breaking apart, making way for a more empowered and transparent identity.In "Dispelling Wetiko", Paul Levy gives name and form to the psychic disease that has been ravaging individuals and institutions of Western civilization for most of our known history. He shows us how to transform our old, disempowering concepts of evil into something that encourages healing and awakening. Drawing on his knowledge of Jungian and transpersonal psychology, Hermetic alchemy and quantum mechanics, Levy sheds light on how our unresolved psychic wounds compel us to blindly propagate our trauma onto others (and ourselves) in self-reinforcing vicious cycles of codependent projection and blame.We can see this dark cycle of trauma playing itself out on every scale, from the personal, to the family, the community, all the way up to our highest institutions of global commerce and governance. "Dispelling Wetiko" shows how trauma and evil, properly understood, actually exist to facilitate our evolution by helping us to integrate the Jungian shadow.An important aspect of the book is Levy's exploration of our psyche's natural process of adapting to trauma (an event the psyche is unable to immediately process and integrate). Levy shows how our response to psychic wounding is actually normal and healthy, and this insight goes a long way toward dispelling the shame and powerlessness that are often bound up with unresolved trauma. Add to that a big-picture view of the nature and purpose of human experience and the evolution of consciousness, and you have a powerful recipe for awakening and transformation.While his writing style tends toward the academic and is occasionally repetitive, it's definitely worth the journey for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of psychic trauma, evil, and the healing and integration of our personal and transpersonal shadow.—Matthew Blais, "Healing the Shadow and the Mirror of Relationship"
One of the most enlightening books I have read.Paul Levy's brilliance and personal background gives him unique insight into the psychology of modern civilization. He draws from a broad variety of sources on history, psychology, economics, physics, religion, ecology, and more--many of which I feel now compelled to investigate--but though his perspective is well-rooted in established schools of thought, he synthesizes these ideas in ways I have never seen and he has many original insights of his own to add.The book is not perfect. Its message is diluted when the author gets into claims about the physical and metaphysical reality of "wetiko" vs. simply presenting it as an archetype that has seized the collective unconscious. It is often redundant. The author commonly takes several pages to repeat a single idea in slightly different ways; sometimes this elucidates the mind-bending concepts but more often the repetition is superfluous.Beyond its faults, this is a vitally important book about the root problem cursing the human race and how to address it. The section on self-reflection (p. 190) is one of the most illuminating passages I have read anywhere. I whole-heartedly agree with Sting, who said "The world would be a a better place if everyone read this book," and I will certainly review it multiple times myself.
