Speaking of both Jung and the state of American culture which is now a permanent warfare state the book introduced here describes the Wetiko psychosis that now (and always has) patterns and control it:

Following on from Jung and others too the world is a psycho-physical phenomenon in which everyone and everything is instantaneously inter-connected. Or, put in another way everyone transmits their mental and emotional states in all directions - so too with institutions.

What kind of message does the Pentagon death machine broadcast 24/7. As an extension of the Pentagon the US now has over known military bases and some kind of active military presence in most countries. The Pentagon and each military base are not just bricks and concrete (etc) but powerful psycho-energetic force fields.

It could thus be said that the Pentagon and its 700 plus bases produce a very powerful inter-connected death saturated psycho-energetic force field which affects everybody on a 24/7 basis.

At present, a "culture" of total war, a "culture" of death, is ruling, while the people are engrossed in self- and other destructive consumerism.

The modern everyman of consumer society is propagandized individual, participating in a "culture" of illusions and, effectively, self-destructing.
