Editor's Notes and Comments:

As someone with an academic background in theology (Ph.D.), I was uncomfortable with this book. Christianity has had many wise women and men throughout the ages, and the protagonist,"Daskalos", is wise. However, when he began his discourses on the metaphysics of "psychonoetic planes" and "elementals" etc., it began to take on the character of pseudo-science. "Daskalos" is a fascinating person of our times, but if a reader is seeking Christian wisdom untainted by the vagaries of New Age "spirituality", she or he would be better served by reading the Desert Fathers, the Life of St. Anthony (by Athanasius), or any number of classic spiritual texts.

This truly exceptional and fascinating book delves into explaining karma, past lives, spiritual healing, going out-of-body (including how an advanced enough person adept at this skill could appear in more than one place simultaneously or the infamous 'doppelganger' phenomenon), the various layers of the spiritual realms, the manipulation of energy and matter, and much more in terms the lay or common person can understand.
If you're into qigong, chi manipulation or research into the same, mysticism of any kind, the paranormal, spiritual fulfillment or development or the like you may well find this a must-read. It is not a tutorial nor a "how-to" instructional tome for developing the abilities demonstrated by the subject of the book, so don't expect that, but in a field where so many books and videos on the subject don't live up to their title, Magus of Strovolos is an extraordinary, enlightening work- one of the few that explains the how's and why's of many esoteric practices and beliefs.

This is an extraordinary read on the life of a "contemporary" mystic. I highly recommend it.
