“They did not give you the opportunity to be yourself...
And you refrained from being yourself, your entire life…
The traditions, customs, beliefs, habits, obsessions and taboos lived through you; but only ‘you’ yourself, did not…
Isn’t it the moment to break free?
Isn’t it the time to born anew from your ashes?”
“Wings of the Phoenix” is the first book of a series that treats wisdom, mind yoga, meditation, enlightenment, sacred teachings, root of all religions, Sufism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zen, Shamanism, philosophical doctrines, spirituality, new age & self-development from an inter-disciplinary perspective, explaining the core teaching that is at the heart of all while providing a map of the path that leads the individuals, who are in search of their own truth, to their deepest roots...

“Wings of the Phoenix” is the narrative of an individual who –just like everyone he knows– was, at the end of an unquestioned life, to depart from the earth without having arrived at any satisfying answer about his own existence and the greater creation, yet who enters through a “gate” that becomes visible to him after he starts questioning himself and the world, while this mysterious journey he embarks on, transforming his whole existence…
The elusive dialogue about existence, life, death, the meaning, religions, philosophies, enlightenment, the human being and the Truth that underlies all, enwraps the reader within the characteristic atmosphere of the existential teaching –which gave birth to Rumi and Yunus Emre– to reach profound depths while the identity of “The One”, the answering end of the dialogue which transcends space and time, remains a mystery that awaits to be unveiled by none other than the reader…

From the Introduction: "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…" / Cagri Dorter
