a syndrome whereby man remains as unaware of the psychic and social effects of his new technology as a fish of the water it swims in. � As a result, precisely at the point where a new media-induced environment becomes all pervasive and transmogrifies our sensory balance, it also becomes invisible. � This problem is doubly acute today because man must, as a simple survival strategy, become aware of what is happening to him, despite the attendant pain of such comprehension." Marshall McLuhan Playboy Interview 1969 � � � Wetiko is not only highly communicable but also self-replicating.
Generally, human hosts, when confronted with questions about symptoms being expressed as behavioral abnormalities, vehemently deny that they are infected/possessed. � Some who have studied this psychic pandemic describe Wetiko as a form of cannibalism, but not in the common flesh-eating form.
At bottom, Wetiko is a disease of the "I."
See 'Who Am I?'... � Ramana Maharshi teaches to get to the root.
Wetiko is an Algonquin-Cree word for,
Cree is one of the
major Algonquian-speaking tribes who inhabited the area from the
Hudson and James bays to as far west and Great Slave Lake in what is
now called Canada.
This may explain the recent obsession with electro-magnetic field (EMF) research into,
...and other forms of environmental influences. � A full range of electromagnetic radiation is being incorporated into a widening spectrum of nanotechnology to increase the speed moving further away from nature toward a greater dependence on machine. � Mind, body, soul; some invisible (to us) form of lethal, alien force seems determined to use a full spectrum approach, including most recently nanoparticle applications enslave and control man, like a child operates drone aircraft, or a remote-controlled toy car or other robotic toy. � My question today:
Wetiko causes a blindness that hijacks the individual's ability to see itself as an integrated/interdependent element of a delicately balanced universe. �
This idea of
separateness elevates the ego to grand, new heights, which
creates a false, but convincing, illusion of separation of self from
nature, which is expressed as greed, excess, and selfish
consumption.
Many spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Sufism (the mystical branch of Islam), Taoism, Gnosticism, as well as many Indigenous cultures, have long understood the mind-based nature of creation. �
These worldviews have at
their core a recognition of the power of thought-forms
to determine the course of physical events.
We believe understanding this idea offers a powerful way of understanding the deepest roots of our current global polycrisis.
A person can be infected by Wetiko or, in cases where the infection is very advanced, they can personify the disease:
This holds true for
cultures and systems; all can be described as being Wetiko if
they routinely manifest these traits.

The point is that the epidemiology of Wetiko has left clear indicators of its lineage. � And although it cannot be pathologized along geographic or racial lines, the cultural strain we know today certainly has many of its deepest roots in Europe. � It was, after all, European projects, from,
...that developed the technology that opened up the channels that facilitated the spread of Wetiko culture all around the world. � In this way, we are all heirs and inheritors of Wetiko...
If you've wondered just what the actual "matrix" is, look no further than the legal system you are caught in like a fly in a spider's web. � But the source is not what you think!
Systemic change begins with the mutations at the periphery, and we are the mutations we've been waiting for! � The necessary adaptation for survival has become the valuing of people over profits, relationships over stuff. � Abandoning the current paradigm (with love), adopting an attitude of forgiveness (everyone is always doing the best they can with what they have in the moment, nobody is to blame, everyone is response-able) are good first steps, and the journey ahead is a long one. �
We are the variant the
universe needs to achieve a higher level of
human consciousness. � |
