I live in Athens, I have an apartment in Melissia but I mainly stay in my house in Sounion, which is in front of the sea facing the famous temple of Poseidon. I spent most of my time there for I love the sea and swimming, even in the winter, but also the hillsides nearby are beautiful in the winter for long walks and jogging.
I am an engineer and I had a Hotel business in the past, but I sold my business a few years back, and now I am working as a writer translating spiritual books into Greek and writing my own books on spirituality and philosophy in Ancient Greece, mainly on the theme of “Know thy self”, “γνωθι σαυτον». I take the old Greek myths and unveil their spirituality and wisdom which is hidden in them. So I love everything which has culture, truth and beauty. Plato used to teach and emphasize that the most important thing that men have to observe and practice in their life is “truth, goodness and beauty”.
Ancient Greece and ancient India have many cultural things in common and are very much alike in many respects.
Thank you all.

Είμαι ένας εραστής της Αλήθειας. Η Αλήθεια είναι η μητέρα όλων των θρησκειών και όλων των πραγμάτων. Από την Αλήθεια προήλθε η ψυχή μας και στην Αλήθεια θα επιστρέψει. Επομένως η Αλήθεια είναι και η δική μας Μάνα! Στην Αλήθεια φτάνει όποιος βιώσει το «γνώθι σ’αυτόν». Όποιος γνωρίσει την αλήθεια του εαυτού του γίνεται αθάνατος και ευδαίμων. Φτάνει στην θεία κατάσταση του αθάνατου άχρονου Παρατηρητή! Παύει να συγχέει το ορώμενο με τον Ορώντα, το θέαμα με τον Θεατή, το παρατηρούμενο με τον Παρατηρητή! Επομένως παύει να ταυτίζει τον εαυτό του με το υλικό σωματικό του ένδυμα και το μυαλό του, αλλά και με τα λεπτοφυή ενδύματα που καλύπτουν τον άχρονο εαυτό του, όπως είναι ο νους, η διάνοια, τα συναισθήματα, οι σκέψεις, η μνήμη, το υποσυνείδητο, η ατομική προσωπικότητα, το εγώ… κ.λπ. Ταυτίζει τον εαυτό του μόνον με το ανέσπερο αγέννητο Φως, που είναι «Ύπαρξη, Συνειδητότητα και Ευδαιμονία». Φθάνει στη θεία κορυφή που έφτασε ο Ηράκλειτος, ο Παρμενίδης, ο Σωκράτης, ο Ρουμί και άλλοι, όπου από εκεί το θέαμα είναι «Εν το Παν».

I am a lover of Truth. Truth is the mother of all religions and of all things. From Truth came our soul and in Truth it will return. So Truth is our Mother too!
Truth is reached by knowing thyself. Whoever realizes his true self becomes immortal and blissful! He gains victory over death and ignorance. He reaches the sublime state of the immortal timeless Seer! In that state he never confuses the Seer with the seen, the Observer with the observed, the Knower with the known. As a consequence he stops identifying himself with his body brain complex and also from his other subtle garments like his mind, his thoughts, his intelligence, his desires, his logic capacity, his memory, his subconscious, his ego, his personality, his individuality, etc…. He identifies himself only with the immortal divine Light which is “Existence, Consciousness, Bliss”. He reaches that holy peak where Heraclitus, Parmenides, Thales, Socrates, Buddha, Rumi, Mahavira and many others reached, from where the sight “All is One” exists.
