Chiron and the Western Civilization

Chiron describes Western Civilization as "a living force. A collective consciousness that has burned bright for thousands of years." He says the Greek gods are part of this, and move around as a different nations become the central power of Western Civilization - Greece, Rome, Germany, France, England, and the United States. What do you think of this idea? Is "the West" a clearly identifiable cultural force in our world today? If the cultural force moves, to what country do you think it will go next?
