THE MADNESS OF GEORGE W. BUSH:A REFLECTION OF OUR COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS by Paul Levy In this ground-breaking work, Paul Levy explores whether the madness that George W. Bush has fallen into is showing us something particularly important about ourselves. What if Bush's madness is a reflection of our own potential for madness? What if Bush has been collectively dreamed up to play out, in full-bodied form, a pathological role existing deep within the collective unconscious of all humanity? Though this book centers on George Bush, it is ultimately about ourselves. In The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis, Levy analyzes the current state of our world as if it is a mass shared dream all 6.4 billion of us are collaboratively dreaming up into materialization. Drawing heavily on the insights of the great doctor of the soul, C. G. Jung, Levy identifies the root process being dreamed up on the world stage is a collective psychosis he calls "malignant egophrenia." He illumines how this disease of the psyche expresses itself non-locally (not bound by space or time) throughout the underlying unified field that connects us all, propagating itself through the unconscious blind spots of the collective. He points out that if the malignant egophrenia epidemic manifesting in our world continues to go unrecognized, it will result in endless suffering and self-destruction. Levy proposes that this collective madness is simultaneously revealing to us our potential for an evolutionary quantum leap in human consciousness. He concludes that whether we destroy ourselves as a species or wake up depends on enough of us recognizing what the insanity of our current world crisis is revealing to us. The choice, and responsibility, is truly ours. "Paul Levy, in The Madness of George W. Bush, does a brilliant job of deconstructing the invisible spiritual and cultural ways that corruption flows into our souls and our minds -- rooting itself in our

About the Author

A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, in 1981 Paul Levy had a life-changing spiritual awakening in which he began to recognize the dream-like nature of reality. A healer, he is in private practice, assisting others who are also spiritually awakening. Paul has developed a unique and creative vehicle to introduce people to the dream-like nature of reality. He facilitates what he calls "Awakening in the Dream Groups," wherein people who are awakening to the dream-like nature of our universe collaboratively help each other to wake up in the dream together. Deeply steeped in and inspired by the work of C. G. Jung, Paul is an innovator in the field of dreaming (both night dreams, as well as waking dreams). He has had numerous articles published on consciousness, dreaming and spirituality, and has lectured about his work at various universities. A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 20 years, he has intimately studied with some of the greatest spiritual masters of Tibet and Burma. A visionary artist, he is creating an Art-Happening Called Global Awakening. Inspired by the Bush administration, Paul has become a spiritually informed political activist.

4.0 out of 5 stars our junior is the antichrist, June 8, 2006

By	Douglas K. Shaeffer "dougshaeffer" (chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

paul levy has written a book that combines with what carl jung said before and makes a cogent response to the dark times in which we live. perhaps we only see our prophets in retrospect. i hope that people find this book. it gave me pause and helped me to see that the anger i have felt toward the barbarity of bushworld was missing something. we made bush like a collective golem. he grew like a malignancy from the darkness of our culture. he is the shadow we all have hidden, which had to come out some way. and now, what shall we do in order to integrate and evolve, as individuals, and as a species.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than just another "Bush-bashing" book..., June 1, 2006

By	John Hubbird - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In fact, this book is not even so much about politics perse, as it is about what Bush mirrors in our collective psychosis, and about taking individual responsibility by coming to terms with this fact, albeit in your own personal way. Mr. Levy draws heavily on the works of Carl Jung to make his case, which is particularly appropriate given the historical context in which Jung was writing -- during Hitler's rise to power in Germany.

This is a very facinating piece of writing that will undoubtedly challenge your thinking, regardless of your political views, and could make a real difference if it is as widely read as it deserves to be. Highly recommended for curious minds and adventurous souls seeking to help create a better world.
