The Mirror and the Wound: Psychology, Sovereignty, and the Prophecy of Fire traces a hidden fracture in Western civilization—where theological conquest, legal dispossession, and psychological abstraction converge. Moving from the papal bulls of the fifteenth century to Johnson v. McIntosh, from the mass execution at Mankato to Jung’s 1924 encounter at Taos Pueblo, the book reveals how the “shadow” of Europe became both political policy and psychological theory. Through Dakota oral history and the prophetic warning of Elder Albert Taylor, it argues that ecological crisis is not accidental but structural. Blending intellectual history with Indigenous epistemology, this work calls for a reintegration of mind and land—an ethics of listening capable of guiding humanity beyond domination toward responsibility.
