    About this ebook

    If engaged in search of “the Truth”, one should first acquire a scholarly depth to be able to find the link between the root of all religions, spiritual traditions, philosophies and science. As “the Truth” can only be approached via a holistic (comprehensive) understanding. It is only possible at the end of such a path that seemingly separate parts (religions, philosophies, teachings, thoughts, paths, scientific branches) can unite to form a “compass”. And subsequently, it is necessary to arrive at the ‘gate’ pointed by the compass, to be ‘forged within that experience’ and to go through a genuine ‘transformation’... The absence of one of these processes leaves the seeker with only “one wing”, crawling on the ground instead of gliding freely in the skies. They may think that they are covering a distance when struggling on the ground, as they clap their wings...

    “Wings of the Phoenix”, the book series that is born out of a journey which lasted more than 20 years and included this quest, experiences and processes, is written to transmit the essence distilled from them and to make comprehend -from an interdisciplinary perspective- “the Truth” that centres all...

    “The Quest & Enlightenment” is the first book & an introduction to the “Wings of The Phoenix” series. It is written to present the necessary information about the encompassing “The Mind in the Path of Enlightenment” that rests at the “root of all religions & paths” while providing the seeker with the necessary interior understanding for her/him to be able to identify perfection beneath every image and to escape the influence of shallow ones...

    If engaged in search of the Truth, one first acquire a scholarly depth to be able to find the link between the root of all religions, spiritual traditions, philosophies and science. As “The One” can only be approached via a holistic (comprehensive) understanding. It is only possible at the end of such a path that seemingly separate parts (religions, philosophies, teachings, thoughts, paths, scientific branches) can unite to form a compass. And subsequently, it is necessary to arrive at the gate pointed by the compass, to be forged within that experience and to go through a genuine transformation... The absence of one of these processes leaves the seeker with only one wing, crawling on the ground instead of gliding freely in the skies. They may think that they are covering a distance when struggling on the ground, as they clap their wings... “Wings of the Phoenix”, the book series that is born out of a journey which lasted more than 20 years and included this quest, experiences and processes, is written to transmit the essence distilled from them and to make comprehend -from an interdisciplinary perspective- the Truth that centres all... In the beginning, the seeker makes a stock of the forms and symbols she/he loves, when embarking on the journey... However; when walking toward the ‘Formless’, all forms fall out of her/his hands; without her/him noticing it... *** Eğer bir Hakikat varsa; insanın onu tüm dinlerin, manevi geleneklerin, felsefelerin, öğretilerin ve bilimin içinde birleştirici olarak bulabilmesi ve bu Kaynak üzerinden hepsini yerli yerine oturtabilmesi gerekir. Bunun için önce (yapılabildiği oranda) tüm dinlerin, öğretilerin, felsefelerin ve geleneklerin ilmi olarak incelenmesi ve hepsinin derinlerindeki Hakikat'in tespit edilmesi gerekir. Sonra da; tüm bilgilerin ışığında o diri geleneğe dahil olunması, o yaşantının içinde yoğrulunması ve hakiki bir dönüşümün yaşanması... Bu süreçlerden birinin eksikliği, Anka'nın Kanatları'ndan birini kaybetmek anlamına geleceğinden; denge, insanın kendine öncelikli olarak öğretmesi gerekenlerin başında gelir... Bu araştırmaları, yaşantıları ve süreçleri içeren 20 seneyi aşkın bir yolculuğun açığa çıkardığı Anka'nın Kanatları kitap serisi, süzülen özün konsantre olarak okura sunulması ve -disiplinlerarası bir noktadan- hepsinin merkezindeki Hakikat'in anlaşılması niyetiyle kaleme alınmıştır... Kitapların yazım dili; inancı, düşüncesi ve yaşam tarzı ne olursa olsun, herkesin açık seçik deneyimleyebileceği ve yaşamı içinde sağlamasını yapabileceği özel bir yapıda olduğundan; Anka’nın Kanatları, birbirine zıt görüşe sahip okurları arasında dahi hiçbir ayrım yapmaz ve taraf tutmaz... Aranılan Hakikat’in tarafların ve ezberlerin ötesinde olduğu açıkken; şekil, şemal ve kalıplarla O’na ulaşılamayacağı da aşikardır... Başlangıçta eline en sevdiği şekilleri alıp evinden çıkar yolcu... Ancak; şekilsize yürürken, şekiller düşer, ellerinden... Kendisi dahi farketmeden...

      Notes

      About the Author

      When he learnt to talk, the first questions he asked happened to be What is the source of life? Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we headed to?… Following this, his questions about existence, life, death, birth and the origin of religions deepened…

      When he was in primary school, he stated questioning what was communicated to him as ‘religion’, the concepts of ‘sin and good deeds’, ‘fate and free will’ and ‘heaven and hell’, unearthing their discrepancy… As his family had hard time answering these questions, they enlisted the help of his grandmother who was coming from the (Rumi's) Sufi Tradition. This gave birth to a process of contemplative dialogue about existence & the Truth between them, which would last for long years. These talks, which spanned for long years, were closed to the outside (even to the other members of the family) and exclusive to them…

      During his university years, he comprehended that the Truth can only be understood if one can pinpoint the common root between all religions, teachings, disciplines, philosophies, paths and branches of science that seem to be far from each other and that otherwise it can never be understood from a biased angle…

      In the following years, he researched all the major religions, spiritual teachings, sacred paths, enlightenment traditions, disciplines, philosophies of the world and the meanings hidden behind them. He had understood that he had to put the modus of living this knowledge pointed at, into action. And toward this end, the only means was to work with an enlightened master... Day and night, he continuously wished for such a relationship to enter his life. And finally his
