Collective Subconscious of Turks


I think it was Uzbekistan, or Kirgizistan that my friend from Government Emergency Agency, led the Turkish Earthquake Aid Team, entered a village on feet, leaving the vehicles behind...Seeing the Turkish Flag Patches on their side arms, an old women recognizing her fellow cognates, yelled tapping her laps by two hands;
-Amaaa, siz o'suğuz, öte gittiydiz. 

(My God, you are them, who left away)  Actually the story is referring to
the 
Great Turkic Emigration from central Asia to Anatolia almost a thousand years ago... Exclusively referring to the 24 Oguz Tribes left central Asia centuries ago... I heard this story in 2005 and since then I have a irresistible feeling about my cognates, accompanied with a desire for seeing them closely... This feeling, hit me first time is best defined by Carl Gustav Jung. He calls it "Collective Subconscious" build up by people who have same root or lived together or shared the same fate (trauma) or suffered or rejoiced for the same reasons".

It means we all Turks, even in this era, still have common feelings since we have a "Collective Subconscious"... That is why the old women living 5000 km away from us was able to summarize what happened with a few words.

Miserable is that I am writing this in a non - Turkic language...


The Uzbek narration in the video is quiet understandable.
