Surviving the new dark ages

Given the realities of our decadent culture, it seems that the best we can do politically in America is affirm the legal and political structure of the separate states and regions in the framework of the Constitution, and then let the people do as they naturally can do. We legally protect their independence, internally and externally, with the light federalism the Founders intended. This is realistic, not pessimistic or optimistic.

We can build our revitalized religious philosophy for the future, to help sustain us through the new dark ages. Although we are devoted to the active Outward Path to Godhood of evolution, and not only the contemplative Inward Path to the Father Within, perhaps we can at least survive the way St. Benedict's followers survived through the fall of the Roman Empire, and come out strong.
