About – The Researchers of Truth

The teachings of “The Researchers of Truth” are designed to assist individuals in uncovering the truth about their Real Selves as children of the Absolute Infinite Beingness, often referred to as God and the Eternal Truth.

By practising honest introspection, meditation, concentration, and observation, we aim to remember who we truly are — our Real Selves — and harmonise our present-day personalities with our true nature.

This path encourages us to abandon the unnecessary illusions we have created throughout our various incarnations and enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens within us.

Founded and developed in Cyprus by Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, the Researchers of Truth found word wide resonance.

Now, the Grandson of Daskalos – Stylianos Atteshlis Papakyriacou – is carrying on his Grandfathers legacy, as a living continuation of what he worked for over centuries, and what was presented to him by example.

Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis – also known as Daskalos – was the founder of the Researchers of Truth system.

Born in 1912 in Cyprus, he started teaching at an early age of 7 Years old.

My name is Stylianos Atteshlis Papakyriacou. I was born in May 1976 in Nicosia and grew up in Strovolos, Cyprus.

From the moment I came into the world, my grandfather, Stylianos Atteshlis, has played a significant role in my life as both a father figure and a teacher.

The teachings of “The Researchers of the Truth” are fundamental to my identity. I share a deep and unbreakable bond with my grandfather that transcends lifetimes, and in this incarnation, we have chosen to spend nearly every possible moment together until the day he passed away.

Starting at a very young age, my grandfather welcomed me into his circles and shared his teachings. By age 7, I had joined the innermost circle of just nine members, including my grandfather.

He frequently involved me in his healing work - which was guided by the Holy Spirit - and encouraged me to participate in out-of-body experiences with him. Meanwhile, he made every effort to protect me from public exposure as much as possible, allowing me a relatively normal childhood.

By the time I was 15 years old, I was already teaching various circles in Greece during my summer vacations. During my school years, I embraced every opportunity to accompany my grandfather to different circles and often travelled with him to various countries for his seminars on our teachings and healing.

When Kyriacos Markides wrote about my grandfather and our teachings in his book The Magus of Strovolos, he referred to me as Marios.

After my grandfather's passing, my aunt Panayiota assumed the responsibility of carrying on his teachings, allowing me to lead a more normal life.

Like others, I have encountered life's highs and lows — tests that challenge one’s values and integrity, yet they have offered me invaluable lessons and experiences. I will continue supporting my aunt in upholding my grandfather's legacy for as long as she wishes to do so.

Since my grandfather’s passing, I have quietly continued to teach in various circles worldwide. My lifelong wish is, and always has been, to carry on our teachings with the help of Father Yohannan and share them with the world, hoping to help others find the truth and remember their True Selves.

This was also my grandfather's wish for me, as he expressed it openly in the dedication of his book, The Esoteric Teachings.

I truly hope that when my time comes to take over, my efforts, no matter how small, will contribute to someone’s journey home.

Light and blessings on your path through life!
Stylianos Atteshlis Papakyriacou
