On the background of the wisdom, it is the fact that Turkey and China were first and single initiators of Neolithic age in the world 12,000 years before with their geographies.

So there are two civilizations in a very deep and rich human genes culture. These geographies produced very early answers of how questions in the world, how to change, how to cultivate, how to grow, how to eat and drink.

Yes it is difficult to keep moving in our mind all the time.

You are right I have my technic to ease the moving within this triangle.

TIME: First I move one thing for example I have a siesta sleep during the day which relaxes and freshens my mind

GROUND: secondly I move on the ground I don’t stay in the fixed place during the day. I frequently contact with the people who are the source of vocabulary, diversity of thought.

So I move on time and on the ground. These moves sharpens my mind and makes the mind always dynamic and freshens.

During the day I mostly move meeting and facing with the people on the streets, on the roads and use mostly public transport to interact with people. because the people use the rich source of lively vocabulary of life and diversified views sharpens my mind.

So, these are my personal technics for making mind moving.

This is the cover of the first book written by Turks in 1070 in Kasghar city in poetic form as 6645 verses.

Kutadgu Bilig means The Glory of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Bilig means knowledge and wisdom.

Ancient Turks valued reason (ög), insight (ukuş) and knowledge (bilig). For this reason, Köktürk, Uygur, Karahanlı khans and viziers took titles such as “Wise”, “Bögü” (sovereign). The Turkish mind prioritized the “science” of the real world, not the “magic” of the metaphysical world. (Prof Dr Ali Akar)

Turkish thought has evolved in nature and in the steppe. The law of nature is based on reality. For this reason, Turks have taken reason as basis in obtaining information and aimed to reach information sources with it.
Ali Akar
@ali_akar

Kutadgu Bilig is 950 years old…
In this book, which is one of the most important texts of Turkish, the ideal state and social order, as well as the old Turkish customs, language and value system are explained. Most people don’t know; Kutadgu Bilig was written ten years before Nizamülmülk’s famous Political Name.

Western historians attribute the Turks’ domination of the steppe to their ability to ride horses, draw bows, and shoot arrows. However, behind this domination, there were thousands of years of knowledge (mind), ukuş (understanding), bilig (knowledge).

Kutadgu Bilig is not only a political book, but a book of deep wisdom of the Turkish language and culture.
In the book, a symbolic Ötüken lord is made to speak with the expression “negü ter Ötüken begi”, and thus a reference is made to the Turkish steppe culture of the Hun and Köktürk period.

In Turkish culture, it is necessary to look for the source of knowledge not in the accumulation of thought, but in the way of reaching knowledge.
Turks reach knowledge by logos, not mythos.
Kutadgu Bilig, considered the masterpiece of Turkish on this subject, proposes reason and logic as the only source of information for people and society.

East Turkistan is not just a piece of land, it is the geography where Turkish culture and civilization were born. Many masterpieces of Turkish such as Kutadgu Bilig and DLT were fermented there. Today, those destroyed by the Chinese oppression are innocent people and the cultural memory of Turkishness.

“Experienced Ötüken Bey, who spoke his word thoughtfully.

When Kutadgu Bilig publication is mentioned, R. Rahmeti Arat comes to mind. But Arat’s work was published separately and at different times as text, quotation and index.

On the other hand, in Y. Çağbayır’s Kutadgu Bilig publication, the text and the quotation are together. It is more useful in this aspect…

HOLY KNOWLEDGE is the name of a Church in Istanbul in the Eastern Roman world (Hagia Sophia-Hagia Sophia); It is the Art of State Administration in Turks (Kutadgu Bilig).

The naming is the same, but the contents are disjointed by the metaphysics/objectivity contrast you mentioned.

Contrary to popular belief, wisdom (ög/ukuş) and knowledge (bilig) were highly valued in the old Turkish society. Köktürk and Uyghur khans and viziers were given titles such as “wise”, “bögü” (judge). The Turkish khan trusted the wise vizier, not the shaman, the magician representative of the metaphysical world.

Eski Türkler akla (ög), kavrayışa (ukuş) ve bilgiye (bilig) çok değer vermiştir. Bu yüzden Köktürk, Uygur, Karahanlı kağanları, vezirleri “Bilge”, “Bögü” (hakîm) gibi unvanlar almışlardır. Türk aklı, metafizik dünyanın “büyü”sünü değil, nesnel dünyanın “bilig”ini öncelemiştir.

KUTSAL BİLGİ, Doğu Roma dünyasında İstanbul’da bir Kilise’nin adı iken (Hagia Sophia-Aya Sofya); Türklerde Devlet Yönetme Sanatı’dır (Kutadgu Bilig).
