One day a man famous for his wisdom receives a huge slap from a man. When the wise man strikes back at the man who slapped him, the man says he has something to ask him;

"Since you are so wise, tell me, when I slapped you in the face, did the "crack" sound come from your face or from my hand?

You have nothing else to worry about, you think. A person in pain cannot think of anything other than his pain!".
What is happening in our country, the games being played on our country, the lives we have lost, our innocent children. The collective consciousness and mood of our country is out of control. I have never been so helpless, miserable, sad, unhappy, restless, angry and angry in my half a century of life. I don't know how and when I will heal and rest. As in the above story from Mesnevi; I am in pain like millions of people of my country and I know that a person in pain cannot think of anything else.... However, there is another thing I know and always try to say; every thought we think and every emotion we feel has an energy. This energy that is generated is never erased from the universe and one day it will materialize and become reality. We collectively need to control, organize and train our thoughts and feelings. We have to immediately and quickly engage in a process of emotional healing and recovery.

This observation of the crisis in our mind, heart and consciousness always brings conflict, because we cannot solve any problem by thinking this way and we cannot solve it completely and adequately without creating other problems. When we keep repeating the same thing over and over again, and with this repetition our brain and our soul are blinded, we are also reproducing suffering. So look what happens to us. Problem after problem, crisis after crisis, uncertainty after uncertainty, pain after pain. So can the brain, the mind be free from problems? The heart from pain? Please question this. This is a fundamental question that a human being has to ask himself. But the brain is so trained to solve problems, especially when there is the ego feeding on pain, that it cannot understand what it means to be free from problems. When the brain is free, it can solve problems, otherwise it cannot.

Thought is an expression or reaction of memory. Memory is the result of knowledge. Knowledge is experience. Experiences create thoughts and feelings. Man is trapped in this cycle. Within this space, thought can invent anything. If every thought is an energy, it is necessary to understand the power of thought.

Let's start by questioning whether our own house is organized. Our house, the house within us, our structure, our struggles, our pains, our anxieties, our loneliness, our aggressions, the things we endure, all these things have a great disorder and confusion within us. We try to create an order out of this chaos and disorder. We try to establish political, economic and social orders without establishing an order within ourselves. Therefore, without order inside, it is impossible to establish order outside. Please understand the logic of this. There is so much degeneration in this country; anarchy, disorder, corruption, bribery, all sorts of tricks, from top to bottom, our own house that we have created in complete disorder. And in these spaces we want order, we want peace, we want peace. We never think that order should come here, in our own home, in our own essence. Only after establishing order inside can we have order outside. Only after we have peace inside, we can have peace outside. Only after we find peace within, we can find peace outside.

I don't know when I will be able to find peace and serenity in my essence.... I wish I could know that!
