July 4

A nation centered in the Tao
offers tranquility in place of restlessness,
and peace in place of conflict.
It admits its mistakes and swiftly corrects them.
It honors those who point out its faults
and turns its enemies into friends.
Its humility and benevolence illumine the world.
    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 61

Restlessness drives my culture
and tranquility is suspect;
perhaps vaguely anarchistic.
Conflict stokes the fires of commerce
and peace is seen as weak,
tinged with dreaded socialism.
Mistakes are denied
by marshaling “alternate facts”
and correction is not an option.
Critics are enemies of the state
and enemies are to be destroyed.
Arrogance and self-interest
darken the world.

How sad it has been to reach the point in Lao-Tzu’s book where his advice is directed to his country’s leadership,
​ just as my nation is celebrating an honored dream that has faded into a vague memory.
As fireworks rise above Lake Siskiyou this evening
​ I will sit in my back yard and struggle with tears.
Tears have accompanied my reading and writing
the past two days as the outrage that has been so prevalent wears itself out,
leaving a deep sadness.

My consolation rests in the understanding
that the Tao will take the depth of sadness
and use it as the pivot point
by which darkness begins its long inevitable journey
back to light.
​ The seeds of transformation are already sinking their roots
​ in preparation for stretching toward the sky.

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 is revealing to us.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

We are currently in the midst of the greatest epidemic sickness known to humanity.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

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 the psychic pathogen which they carry.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

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 terrorizes others by means of evil acts.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

Evil devastates any possibility of an intellectual response;
the tools of the rational intellect are as helpless
in coping with the after effects of evil
​as it was in preventing it.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

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 means that we must focus our attention on and contemplate this most important topic before this virulent madness destroys us.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko

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 endlessly talking about taking responsibility, but they never genuinely face up to and become accountable for their actions.
They are unable to genuinely mourn,
being only concerned with themselves.
They will feign grief, however,
just as they will try to appear compassionate,
if it is politically expedient to do so and, hence,
to their advance,
​they are master manipulators.”
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
