I think every Empire is the same. It's basically a corporation that moves from capital to capital. It replaces the virtue of a nation with corruption through generations of psychological warfare. It replaces the struggle against nature and the forces of the universe with a contest for fake money. The main byproduct of Empire is confusion. Its growth and expansion leads to a mixture of people and a loss of guidance from nature. There's no possibility of reforming such a thing. The dissipation and dissolution of Empires are a one-way path.
The only way out of the confusion is for individuals to turn inward, which effectively hastens the decline of the central power. We already know what to do. It's necessary to find a quiet place and to quiet your mind, either through boring manual labor, like scrubbing a floor, or weeding a garden, or through deliberate meditation. When you have a fairly definite question to ask, eventually you might get an answer.
