Kyriacos C. Markides's pursuit of higher knowledge began with his exploration of the rich and intricate world of two mystical Christian teachers and healers on his native island of Cyprus~a twelve~year experience chronicled in The Magus 0f Strovolos, Homage to the Sun, and Fire in the Heart. Now Professor Markides continues his quest for the nature of reality, mind, self, and ultimate divinity, searching within diverse sources of wisdom on a journey that takes him from Maine to New York to London to Cyprus and on to ancient monasteries on the coast of Greece. His revelation of a vital, living mystical practice, based in ancient Christian thought, is a major step in linking the most esoteric traditions of the East to the largely hidden esoteric traditions of the West. With his impeccably documented research and experience, Markides is helping to recover the mystical heart of Christianity, confirming that there is a direct and practical tradition that the mainstream Church has managed to ignore and even suppress.
