Peak Mordor: The Tipping Point
There are historical parallels.
The persecution of heretics was worst right before the total hold of the medieval catholic church over European humankind and the dawn of the new era of what was later called the Renaissance (re-birth).
I believe we are seeing the birth of a similar epochal paradigm change.
From the presently dominating mechanistic atheist world view in which there is only dead and meaningless matter, to a more holistic view, in which there is an increasing understanding of Spirit, Mind, and Body in their dynamic interaction.
