Wetiko in Current Events

There is a contagious psychospiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, that is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus—which Native Americans have called “wetiko”—covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests.
-Paul Levy from his book Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking The Curse of Evil

I suppose I can call this a sleepless night. My alarm goes off around 4 am but I have been up since 2. It’s going to be a long day.

I am trying to be mindful about the thoughts that are keeping me up. It could just be a fluke, I was fasting after all. I wanted more sleep so I ate. Maybe that’s what kept me up?

With nothing to do, my mind has become restless. This is an opportunity to discover what is bothering me that I have suppressed.

Kyle, my friend that I had over on the weekend, I was thinking about how painful it was to polarize with his opposing beliefs. I did it anyway, it’s good practice. It was he that wanted to polarize with mine, I should say. The term Wetiko is what comes to mind here. He’s out of touch with his god-given soul, with his god-given power of discernment, with his god-given power of responsibility, etc. He’s an intellectual but not a man of intelligence. To be intelligent we have to produce an original thought. He just runs everything through his programming. This is why I say there is a spiritual deficit in society. Nobody has the capacity to put a perspective down and try on another. We should have the ability to process at least two partial views in working memory but nobody appears to be evolved enough to push through their cognitive dissonance and social conditioning. It is what it is. Maybe one day he will go inward and develop some meta cognition and map out why he thinks what he thinks, believes what he believes and does what he does. Thats a prerequisite to growing discernment when it comes to trying to understand the complexities of the world.

These people are so deeply out of touch but earnestly believe that people like me have lost their marbles. These people are too stupid to know that they are stupid. They earnestly believe that things they don’t understand are stupid. Imagine believing that everything is stupid and being so void of self-awareness to see that it is you that is just stupid. That was a rude awakening for myself but nobody spiritually dead wants self-awareness. It isn’t comfortable to be aware.

I’m also thinking about Linda, the woman at work. The woman with the big mouth. I’m still salty about losing the full-time position to her. Salty about that whole situation her big mouth created. I’m not one to let it slide so yes, I started drama. Nobody can blame me. She’s a fucking liar and denied everything leaving me to look like a shit disturber. I had since forgotten about her big mouth and told her something that got back to me. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. It wasn’t anything major but I won’t make that mistake again. Fucking hate cluster B bullshit.

Linda is the laziest person on the team with a lot of streaks of being abusive. I can’t refrain from taking it personally now. On Friday, it was making my blood boil to see her commit to doing the bare minimum and then complain about how bad she has it. However, I didn’t let that be anyone else’s problem. I saved face and even spent one of my breaks with her. This workplace is not going to become my whole life. I’m not making that mistake again.

I also have some nerves about starting school again. I start on the thirteenth. I should be excited! I’m finally moving forward. I wasn’t able to jump on it once I created the plan during the transfer of wealth that we are calling a pandemic but a lot of us were displaced in life. It’s easy to forgive myself for that much. Actually, I think it’s the comment Kyle made about me being on CERB briefly. Like it made it okay that people like me lost everything for the “greater good.” He’s a social Justice warrior, more like worrier, so he jumps on every bandwagon and always supports the current thing. Not one original thought in that mind of his. So I suppose I did take it personally that he was okay with how awful things went for me as a non-essential worker. Whatever, the sequel to this hoax starts soon. People like him are self-harming and it’s just so disturbing to witness people be so out of touch with their discernment to even suspect that something is wrong.

I also fasted. I do it to get the benefits of autophagy and ketosis among other things. The body will go into scavenger mode and recycle and repair damaged cells and DNA, it will eat waste etc. I want to stay in ketosis so I am doing Keto for a bit. Vegan keto which is tricky because I don’t eat animals or their squirts. I am winging it, this round. Just avoiding carbs. I ordered a kitchen scale, I’m going to start counting macros. I forgot that I will need to add a lot of fat into my diet as that will be my fuel for a bit. That’s where it gets tricky. It’s not impossible but I will have to develop a plan for next time. I meal prepped three days worth of keto. I feel prepared to just drink oil lol. This is new territory, counting macros. I look forward to the journey.

It’s just these few things that are keeping me up. My heart is still heavy because I’m worried about my nephew. My sister is taking him to his medical priest today. She wants to sign him up for an allergy test. The medical priest doesn’t know health, just prescription. I will never convince her that she needs to detox his little body of all that waste that’s inside of him so that he won’t need to have a histamine reaction. Of course, it’s “pseudoscience” to say that our bodies cannot store toxic waste forever. It should be simple logic and reason that when we put things in our bodies that don’t belong there it will have to be expelled out and the damage will have to be repaired. That’s what our symptoms are trying to do but instead of supporting them we are suppressing them which traps waste in our bodies and not letting ourselves heal.

Blah, whatever. I just wanted to air out my mind before I leave for work.
