China Jon's Syncretic Journal

rules and rulers, traditions, authorities, and ancient texts will tell you everything you need to know in order to decide what to do? Or do you believe that what is best in today's world, for the most people, may not be found in the past. Is the right path to the future found by avoiding the mistakes of the past, or trying new ideas and technologies that may be dangerous and threatening to the environment or to humanity - no matter what the possible benefits?

You have many paths to the future and it is up to you to choose. Each choice you make will open many doors and close others forever. Does this reality frighten you or energize you to seek a better future for yourself and your children?

My advice is to choose a path where you can love and be loved by yourself, your family, your community, your nation, and your world. Avoid paths taken in fear.

In voting for what is best for yourself, place yourself in the circle of reality. Don't listen to fear mongers. They are like the drivers of tigers who only seek you as a prize.

You are a human being with an ancient heritage which goes deep into the past. Your kind has sought the path to the future for 15,000 years. Your blood is rich in human history and glory. Honor it. Your future is rich in all the wonderful things that you and people like you will create in it.

Will you take your place in the story of human history? Find out who you are! Decide what you want. Choose. Don't be afraid.
