Yes, is it the chicken or the egg?
The trouble with the metaphysics is that they come together.
The war energy (that we do not recognize and, do stuff to negate/drain off) brings people to war and that brings psychopaths to the front to wage war. (or visa versa)

From God's perspective, we are just playing cops and robbers. Where one group of souls plays the cops, and another plays the robbers. And so, it is really difficult to tell if it is the psychopaths, or the rest of us that started the war. But, we both know the way out is "They have a war, and no one comes"

I have often said that now is the time of rooting out evil. I usually do not add the other part, that we root out evil in ourselves.

This is the 5 great world wide civilization. The last one was destroyed by floods.
This one was going to be destroyed by earth, but we made it high enough on the vibration chart. So we won't be blasted to nothingness, but a lot of people are going to be leaving this planet.
