Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, 1912–1995
The life, work and legacy described by the original website, retained for careful historical and source review.
This biography contains inherited historical, experiential and legal statements. They remain working copy until checked and approved by the authorised custodians.
Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis (1912–1995), known as Daskalos — Greek for “teacher” — was born in Cyprus. The original website describes remarkable gifts from an early age, including healing and recollection of past incarnations.
It presents him as leading a relatively normal external life as a civil servant and family man while dedicating his free time to teaching and healing without payment.
The inherited account also notes international recognition through books by Kyriacos Markides, including The Magus of Strovolos.
The original website states that Daskalos founded The Researchers of Truth as a system of spiritual development centred on direct experience and understanding rather than blind belief.
Its inherited summary names meditation, healing, self-observation and the development of consciousness, together with a cosmological account of reality and the human being.
The original biography used a “three bodies” summary. The rebuild expands and corrects this through the Etheric Double, Permanent Atom, Present-day Personality, Individuality (Soul) and Spirit-Ego-Self.
The inherited summary says that thoughts, emotions and desires create elementals that affect experience. A source-led entry is being prepared.
The inherited biography places deep self-understanding at the centre of spiritual development.
The inherited wording states that the teaching continues through circles in several countries, books and recorded talks. It identifies Panayiota Theotoki Atteshli and Stylianos Atteshlis Papakyriacou as holders of intellectual-property rights and custodians of the work.
“The purpose of life is to know yourself, and through knowing yourself to know God.”

The original page contains a statement denying affiliation between this System and a Cyprus-based organisation known as Erevna, and includes a longer statement attributed to Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis.
Because this is a sensitive historical and organisational matter, the original site remains the reference copy. The full statement should be republished here only after its exact authorised wording and context have been confirmed.
