The blind spot of mirrors is often the center of truth... The subtle and deep nuance between looking and seeing! The insensitivity of the senses is not due to the distortion of the mirrors, but the stance of the beholder and his unending pain... The year tires behind the year, the day asks the hour and minute hands for the hour! He exhausts himself in vain! Mind-boggling... Commas that know too much are pregnant with blind spots they don't care about! Who is the father of the unwanted child? Who is the main boy subject? Let's come to that now in politics or film politics!<\/p>\n<p>Those who read mythological stories like fairy tales ignore the philosophical depth of mythology! Mythology is very decisive on the basis of value judgments and this situation still continues, but like \u201cThe bird builds the nest it sees!\u201d, people act with herd psychology by considering it a merit not to go out of the ordinary and think that if they leave the herd, they will remain wolves!<\/p>\n<p>But what will he do if the wolf takes the flock! What is the benefit to the lamb of staying with the flock at this point? If the ram and the wolf are in agreement, the situation is even worse!<\/p>\n<p>Humanoid gods and goddesses... Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Ares etc.! Zeus, the chief god, creates lightning, so his visual charisma is awesome and he is in control of the energy. He's wise, reckless, and a rascal. He is so flirtatious that he also makes advances on his servant. The mother of his son Hercules is human! The perception is such that it is not strange for Zeus to molest his servant! However, this is unacceptable in Eastern mythology!<\/p>\n<p>While it is considered normal for Zeus to molest everyone on Olympus, god and goddess alike (many of them his daughters and granddaughters since they are his descendants!), the domestic marriages of the Egyptian Pharaohs are somehow a joke (!)! However, according to Eastern logic, it is unthinkable for a god to molest his servant and therefore gods can only marry those who are like them, that is, goddesses! Thus, at least in the Egyptian palace, concubines and free women who are human beings are at least safe! Because they have no gods to molest them!<\/p>\n<p>In Western culture, God is at one with man, whereas in Eastern culture there is distance, which is a serious difference, and this difference necessitates two opposing mechanisms and it is impossible to get along, wars are inevitable... The Japanese emperor speaks from behind a curtain and no one looks up when he speaks, no one should see him, because God cannot be seen! But in the West, God is in a state of intimacy with his servant, intimate and there is no distance... In a way, this is a separate and positive feature in its own way!<\/p>\n<p>Another situation that develops after the humanoid character of the gods is the evolution of human deification! Western mythology supports this unconditionally, but Eastern mythology keeps its distance! In other words, you cannot become a god even if you talk like one.<\/p>\n<p>Interaction with Western culture necessarily leads to evolution in Eastern mythology! The distant behavior tends to relax and a way is found, God gives a special sign to some of his servants and that servant evolves into a divine process, but he is still human, but he also has divine charisma.<\/p>\n<p>Being a descendant of O\u011fuz, who received light (kut) from God, is a privilege and an important plus in Turkish culture, for example!<\/p>\n<p>Anatolian mythology also develops in its own way in this process! It also develops a different position between these two cultures. The Hittite Empire, the \u201cKingdom of a Thousand Gods\u201d, is an obvious manifestation of the relationship between politics and religion! By incorporating the religious motifs and beliefs of the places it conquered into the system, the logic of \u201cI took you and your God!\u201d! We are witnessing here that gods are a material for political hegemony!<\/p>\n<p>What is interesting is that while Western gods are so intertwined with their subjects, none of them are direct rulers! Eastern gods, on the other hand, are either sovereigns in person (Egypt, Japan), or half-god, half-human sovereigns (Central Asia, god-kut, kagan), distant but not disconnected by giving a sign...<\/p>\n<p>In Anatolian culture, the Hittites, on the other hand, imprisoned God completely in politics and God became a mechanism subject to political power.<\/p>\n<p>In short, these situations are effective in the success or failure of today's perception apparatuses, friends! Those who knowingly or unknowingly comply with this are successful in the perception process.<\/p>\n<p>This illusion of perception is the biggest obstacle to the correct evaluation of the election results! Today, when the US moves in a region, it evaluates these layers and assigns relevant experts. In other words, the issue is the success of the processes, not concrete data such as \u201cDelta Force came and took it away, weapon power, technology, etc.\u201d! The men consider the issue from all angles and do not get stuck in shallow analysis...<\/p>\n<p>This is also true for politics in the country in general! The public is faced with a Main Opposition in which those who know too much are very wrong and continue to be wrong consistently, inviting others to be wrong too!<\/p>\n<p>The misconception that votes are bought with social assistance (the metaphor of delivery for two packets of pasta!) has taken over this segment... However, in normal logic, the hungry should vote for the left, as a matter of fact, wasn't it the unemployed and hungry commoners who overthrew the Russian Romanov dynasty? Didn't this even become the emblem of the state founded by Lenin as the hammer and sickle?<\/p>\n<p>Now, if simple farmers and workers vote in our country and the CB is elected with their votes, who will win the election? The CHP candidate has no chance, my friend! Because there is no structure in the CHP that understands the psyche of that segment...<\/p>\n<p>Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu had the biggest success in this regard, he scored 48 points and even lost by a small margin, but the carrion crows are impatient! They want to eat it right away! They killed the carcass without waiting for it to cook...<\/p>\n<p>It is an art to know how to get votes from the right, the right has a different soul world. You cannot get these votes in Kad\u0131k\u00f6y clubs with whiskey and a view of the Bosphorus or on a raki and fish binge.<\/p>\n<p>It is not possible for those who do not sit at the table to get votes! This is where K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu's success lies!<\/p>\n<p>Drachoma culture is evident in the Aegean soul, but it is absent outside the Aegean! Any move you make without taking this into account will be in vain! You have been trying to cover up your incompetence by linking it to pasta. Those who think everything is about matter will be shocked! In the end, they will seek solace in liquor bottles and take refuge in the defense mechanism by saying \u201cit's up to them!\u201d while being happy!<\/p>\n<p>Monseigneur! Of course they know! At least he knows what you are! If he knows you, he doesn't need to know the rest...<\/p>\n<p>There is no need for a recipe!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who read mythological stories as fairy tales ignore the philosophical depth of mythology!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-281188","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-yazarlar"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281188"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281190,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281188\/revisions\/281190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
