Confirms and Provokes... Have you ever looked into the topic of energetic healing? Have you ever looked at biographies and autobiographies of healers? I have. I've read lots of them. And the "Magus of Strovolos", which is about "Stylianos Atteshlis", a Greek Cypriot healer who lived until the early 1990's, did what no single book has done that I've read so far. It tied everything together and proposed a truly complete view of things, from reincarnation and Karma, to healing, astral projection, to philosophy, to ethics necessary to move into the work. And, it was absolutely hilarious at times...
But before you decide that "funny" isn't a good thing in a book that covers this topic, let me tell you that it's not funny through and through. It's deadly serious at times. And the subject matter is so thought- provoking that I've found myself reading this book (and the subsequent two that are now out of print), several times, just to be sure that I didn't miss anything.
It's THAT good...
The Origenal If you have discovered this great book and can bring yourself to believe in it you have much to congratulate yourself on.
The true priesthood of the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Indeed, I went on to read _Homage to the Sun_, _Fire in the Heart_, and _Riding with the Lion_. I recommend them all. I recognised in Daskalos a certain type of rare healer/teacher that can found all over the world. Personally, I think of these natural wise men as the true priest-kings of the world. The professional priests and professors have largely driven them underground or to society's margins, but the people always seem to recognise a man, or woman, of true Spirit. You can find them on the reservation, the ghetto or barrio, the hills of Appalachia, or remote Greek isles. They all seem to mysteriously share quite simular spiritual beliefs- are all united by the same "golden thread." Of course, they also like to occasionally pull the leg of would-be students- especially gullible academics. This is because they want you to run everything you see and hear through the filters of your own reason and intuition. |
