Yes. The so-called elites, leaders of society have mostly gone mad and are leading countless numbers off the cliff. Only some make it out alive. Almost always in the face of ridicule, bad advice, criticism, and even worse. Swimming upstream when all one's fellows are swimming downstream takes determination, courage, and some measure of spiritual vision.
My level? I see it from a distance. I read this analogy once.
When on the path to God, it's like a traveler returning home after a long painful journey to distant lands. Finally, he's turned around and starting home. He's still in the forest, but now and then reaches the top of a hill, from which he can see his home in the distance. He's happy, because he knows he's on his way home.
