Syncretics is a term I use as a formula for learning, with the term syncretism as the act of applying this formula. Syncretism means the “reconciliation of differing beliefs” from Greek synkretismos “union of communities,” from synkretizein “to combine against a common enemy,” (that “enemy,” being IGNORE-ANCE and separation from our common origins) from syn- “together” as in “to SYNC TOGETHER.”
From my perspective, it is about searching through ALL sources of information, despite differing beliefs and opinions, and sifting through it, in order to find the most valuable nuggets of truth, and to find the common root similarities, so that we may see how all the pieces fit together to provide a much larger and unrestricted view of reality, in order to better understand ourselves in relation to one another, without declining into argument and dispute over seemingly opposing perspectives and points of view, or POINTS-OF-YOU.
It’s about turning over EVERY stone, the good, the bad, and the ugly, to see what lies beneath, regard-less of our own PERSONAL judge-ment (judging the mind/ ment: Latin, meaning MIND) of what it is that we may find.
As I always say, “If you fear something…. STUDY IT!! The more you learn about it, the more understanding you gain. Suddenly, you know about it, and although you may still dislike it, you no longer fear it, because you realize its not the thing itself that is ominous, but rather, only your limited understanding of it.”
