   Perhaps not, in fact perhaps a spiritual recovery is already in   
   progress, seeded by the Creator.

   The book "Collapse" on your mind?   
      
   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/475.Collapse   
      
   Beware of predictive negative programming, it carries the power of   
   collective intention and the nightmares of Dr. Morbius - monsters from   
   the id.   
      
   Made manifest.   
      
   By us.   
      
   MSM led manias, a vast array of hobgoblins...   
      
   “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and   
   hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most   
   of them imaginary.”   
   ― H.L. Mencken, In Defense of Women   
      
   Take note of the latter - women, the most corrosive force in modern   
   societal decay.   
      
   The energy on both sides strengthens as we progress.
