If you are a left-brained trained cynic as I am (I am an attorney by trade) a book on the non-material universe that "adds up" on the rational side is a joy and a delight. This is such a book. Markides explains things that I had not understood, and showed me possibilties I had not entertained. Additionally, because the narrator of the tales told to us is, as was Casteneda in the Don Juan books, outside the discipline he is reporting, we see though his initially skeptical eyes, and and hear thouigh his "can this be true?" ears. Thus are we led to feel secure that events have unfolded as they are reported, they can be believed, and may well be part of a new reality we can, ourselves, adopt. It gave me much to "chew on", expanded my thinking, and shines like a small jewel on my recollection. I will, indeed, read more of Markides.

This series of books is wonderful and thought provoking. Start with The Magus of Strovolos and proceed through all books - you won't regret it.

This book is one of the many that Kyriako's wrote, the first book is about the teacher Atteshlis I actually met The Magus of Strovolos a few day before the Cyprus Coup and the invasion of Cyprus by the Turks in 1974 we were on holiday with my family and I saw him heal my younger cousin who was only 18 months old I was 14 at the time. He had never met her ever as she was from South Africa and he told us she had 5 clots on her brain and he dissolved the 3 and she was left with minimal damages and today she lives a normal life (the doctors could not understand how this happened and said it was a miracle). That was the reason why my mother had brought her on holiday with us to see her grandmother as the doctors had mentioned that she could die due to her problem, we the kids did not know about this and we found out from Atteshlis who was a very close friend of my Aunties. After this I read more and more about these happening and after reading these books my outlook to life has changed drastically.

this book was the first of the three on the subject of healer of cyprus and his teachings that i read and i was very much impressed by it. now i am looking forward to read the first two books and if they are any thing close to this one then they must be outstanding read as well.

What is logos, holy spirit, mind , thought?

Mind is means of self expression,,, various frequency of vibration. Mind is everything ,,, but not god... so clear to me.

It was very helpful to understand life, I am so happy that I read this book.

This is the book which I recommend for all seeker of truth.

The first part of this book is a good treatment of the subject mater and is an interesting read. However, in the last part of the book the author succumbs to manipulating the actual facts for selfish motives. This leaves the reader with a false impression of the truth concerning Daskalos, the teachings and the so-called Erevna.

This is the book where the Author lost his integrity. If you have an interest in one of the greatest healers and mystics of our time, read The Magus of Strovolos : The Extraordinary World of a Spiritual Healer, which was the first and only book approved by Daskalos ( the magus of Strovolos ). Although Daskalos didn't approve of the second book, Homage to the Sun : The Wisdom of the Magus of Strovolos...I still recommend it. Most of it is honest.
