Summary: The true priesthood of the world.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Tripping
Comment: I enjoyed the style in which Markides presents this story. On the whole, it is a highly entertaining book, though I would say that it is not for everyone. It contains certain taboo issues such as Jesus the Christ that might alienate people from other belief systems... and that is my only problem with this book and the supposed "Divine Authority" of the _Researchers of Truth_. As a doctrine that claims to be at the head of our evolution towards "God", it may in fact be very complete, however still lacking, as I smell the projection of human ego being present... Or rather, perhaps, some intence tripping. Hence, after finishing this book, I wondered: "Where did these people get their acid?"

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Comment: Best and most life changing book I have ever read. Some of the stuff can be a little bit confusing at first, but just keep reading it. This book answers many questions about the universe. If you are at all interested in spiritual matters, buy this book.
