Mail Scam Warning
Many people are receiving mail from a Maria
Duval (aka Maria France) with a message allegedly from a Nicos Daskalos - "a
famous Greek healer" These letters also ask for money to receive further
teachings.
Please be advised that we are the Researchers of Truth as established by the
late Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis - also known as Daskalos. The word "Daskalos" is
Greek and it simply means "teacher". We have no association with the so-called
Nicos Daskalos or Maria Duval.
Please understand that the Researchers of Truth have never licensed any
individual to collect funds or charge money on our behalf. We hope that people
will not fall prey to tricks like these

One of the Island's most
fascinating personalities, Stylianos Atteshlis, [Daskalos] died
last week at the age of 82. Following a brain hemorrhage, he had
been in a coma for several months.
Atteshlis became known all over the world as a healer and
spiritual teacher endowed with extraordinary powers and gifts,
following the publication in 1985 of a book by Kyriakos Markides
entitled "The Magus of Strovolos".
In it, Markides told of his first meeting with the man about
whom he had been warned as a child by his parish priest ("He Is
a man with satanic powers") and then of the nine months he spent
observing and listening to the man he called "Daskalos"
("Teacher").
Despite the Orthodox Church's disapproval of his activities,
Atteshlis (referred to as "Spyros Sathi" in the book) never saw
any conflict between his Christian beliefs and his healing and
teaching gifts.
Indeed, he was a good friend of Archbishop Makarios, who may
nonetheless have been wary of the "magus"' assertion that he was
an incarnation of the Cypriot Saint Spyridon.
This, and other fascinating insights into Atteshlis' beliefs,
can be found in detail in Markides' second book on him, "Homage
to the Sun: The Wisdom of the Meg us of Strovolos".
People from many countries sought out Stylianos Atteshlis, who
described himself as a healer and 'doctor of the soul' whose
primary concern was to alleviate pain and to assist those who
were ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
There are many authenticated stories of the apparently
miraculous cures that he achieved. One does not have to read
Markides' books to learn of them: Cyprus is full of people who,
often as a last resort, had visited Atteshlis in the hope of
being treated for ailments that conventional medicine was unable
to help.
There is no shortage of convinced and grateful patients,
although equally One can find many people for whom the initial
apparent cure turned out to be short-lived.
Whether one 'believes' in Stylianos Atteshlis or not, it cannot
be denied that he was a unique thinker and teacher with a
'magical' personality. His death will leave a far greater gap
than most people in Cyprus could possibly realize.
 Note:
The label " Magus of Strovolos " was given to Daskalos by a
writer who saw Daskalos as he imagined him to be. Daskalos
did not like this label - it even caused problems for him with
the Church on Cyprus. Daskalos was a Mystic not a Magus
