·
discourages the exploration of impatient and harmful
practices for obtaining spiritual experience and insight.
The use of drugs and stimulants should be counseled against,
along with certain methods of spiritualism (e.g. channeling
where the self is transposed, séances and other such
practices involving undetermined energies).
·
upholds and respects the autonomy of other individuals.
Never will we exploit the financial, emotional,
intellectual, nor physical sovereignty of another.
·
believes that other individuals, whether family or friends,
will come to these Teachings by their own fruition. We
shall never publicly encourage others to adopt our beliefs.
By prematurely involving others we may jeopardize the
appropriate time to engage themselves. Circle members and
coordinators should not go out to recruit nor proselytize,
but embrace those that come to them.
·
encourages the exploration of other paths, teachings and
traditions. It is only through comparison that we draw
closer to the truth. We have said many times that the bees
of our hives may travel to distant gardens to collect the
sweet nectar. But in our garden, that of Christianity, we
have a full variety of flowers and pure pollens. When we
look at other teachings we do so through the wisdom of our
understandings and beliefs, and we always return home to our
hive.
It is not possible for
anyone using words from any language, to adequately describe
who and what Daskalos, Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, really is. Nor is it possible for
anyone to completely describe the teachings of the
Researchers of Truth that poured through Daskalos like a
mighty river. However, it is quite possible for anyone to
love and respect Daskalos the mystic-healer whose potent
works spanned seven decades. His was a life of healing and
the teachings of the Researchers of Truth publicly began in 1919 on the island of Cyprus
at the far eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea - just off
the coast of Syria. At this time, Cyprus was primarily
populated by Greek-Christians and Turkish-Muslims. Cyprus
had also just formally been annexed from the Turkish by the
British after more than three centuries of Turkish Muslim
control. But it would be 41 years more before Cyprus would
gain its independence from the British.
In 1919 the young
Daskalos, was already able to Self-Consciously travel to the
worlds of the higher dimensions. At seven, he could speak
the languages of his past lives and consciously communicated
with “great intelligences” that guided him from the worlds
beyond. His parents knew this and believed in his abilities
but warned him not to reveal these things to other people.
From the beginning of this incarnation Daskalos knew who he
was and the purpose of his life on Earth. What he did not
know at the beginning was that all the people around him
were not like him. He thought everyone could communicate
with these higher intelligences whom he called brother
guides; but he was about to find out just how different he
really was. More. . .
