The moment you think it's over, life begins there
Esotericism is cloaked in the symbols of mythology and hidden in a land of secrets. It was embodied in DNA, veiled in words, waiting to be dissolved in the soul through a single insight.
The mythological story you will read soon; It is the story of the Emerald Phoenix, Simurg or thirty birds who are beyond knowledge and minds, who are always alone but never say no to those who ask for help, who can be anywhere but cannot be found anywhere...
While Simurg, who lives in the land of birds, is ready to help every bird in trouble, it has not been seen for a long time. The birds wondered why Simurg did not appear, and they did not receive a response to their call for help. Time passes and this questioning spreads from ear to ear. Some blame themselves for this situation, while others remain indifferent. One day, they come across a different bird from a far country. This bird found a feather from Simurg's wing! The news of this feather, which has not been heard from for a long time but still proves its existence, soon begins to spread in the land of birds and the birds gather together. They decide to set out to go to Simurg, which is rumored to live on Mount Kaf.
This road is long, grueling and full of difficulties. So much so that those who left did not return. Birds who took this risk approached the subject wisely and asked the messenger bird, who could help them at any time, to guide them on this journey. A wise messenger bird, on the other hand, says that he knows the previously mentioned areas and can guide the community. Thus, they set out to find Simurg with the "Wise Bird", who will not leave them alone against all the risks that may arise on the journey.
Those participating in the journey are very enthusiastic and qualified birds. During the journey, they talk among themselves and share their knowledge. Every piece of information they share arouses greater interest and curiosity in them. This interest and curiosity made them even more eager to reach the mysterious Simurg and meet him.
According to rumors Simurg; bears a trace from every living thing, and contains every color in its feathers. Its wings are a mixture of gold and red, and its body and head are purple. The strange thing is that his face looks like a human! Being a unique bird, Simurg is also unique in its actions. Another extraordinary feature is that when it reaches a stage of its life, it burns itself to ashes with the "Tree of Knowledge" where it lives, and then it is reborn from the ashes. Therefore it is immortal. Its presence gives an indescribable happiness, tranquility, peace and security to those next to it.
Some of the birds on the journey get bored of this journey for various reasons and start to give up. If the "Wise Bird" had not been with them, perhaps they would have given up from the very beginning before they had gone this far. Although many of the birds, which are quite numerous, have given up, the journey continues with the rest. The rest have just reached the foothills of Mount Kaf. According to the legend, the real difficulties will begin from this stage. They will pass through that fearful valley at the foot of the mountain. Some birds cannot rise high enough to cross the valley and are afraid to return. Some people do not know that when they get tired and choose to rest a little, maybe they will never be able to catch up with those who go. Some lose their way by diving into the beauties of the valley, and some get lost in the valley of separation.
Some want to return, saddened by what they left behind. Some people prefer the world they know rather than going to a land they don't know. Some lose their resolve when they see their friends abandoning this path. Some lose their anger, some big birds lose their arrogance and leave the journey. The birds, who can no longer find a place to listen to the nightingales' songs or enjoy their splendor, abandon their journey. Either way, the number of excuses has been increasing day by day. After all, the end of this unknown and difficult road is not clear!
At this point, “Wise Bird” no longer makes an effort to turn anyone away from his decision.
The remaining birds can't stand it and want to ask Wise Bird where this road will lead. After this stage, he leaves them unanswered, thinking that beyond his own experience at the end of the road will be meaningless. They pass through the valley of love and the valleys of ingenuity, respectively. So far, their numbers are getting smaller and smaller. When it comes to the valley of Vahdet, many want to stay there. When they come to the valley of amazement, they are stunned by what they see. Neither their place nor their homeland comes to mind. What could be better than admiring this valley forever? The bird community leaves behind the birds that want to stay in the Hayret Valley and reach the Scarcity Valley, which is beyond their understanding and dreams. This is the place that has never been talked about and should not be talked about. Famine Valley is the last gate to Simurg.
