The World as Thought
What explains the existence of the world and our place in it? Is there a primal cause beyond our comprehension because our intelligence is part of the very world we seek to understand? The author asserts that such a cause exists and identifies it as what ancient Indian thinkers termed the End of Knowledge.Far from simply reporting this concept, the author develops profound insights through inspired discussions, leading to two kinds of startling conclusions. First, these insights offer a new, deeper understanding of our own nature. Second, they present a sweeping revaluation of the nature of universal Space, Time, and Matter. Notably, the author details and explores the profound implications of the idea that time does not progress in a real sense.This book serves as an introduction to rationality within spiritual belief, paving the way for a harmonious integration of reason and spirituality.

Light a Candle in My Soul: Poems and Poetic Sketches
What is it that touches your soul, warms your heart or enlightens your mind? Do you dream and do you wonder? What do you seek and what comes of your thoughts? The Greeks sought, according to Aeschylus, to ‘tame the savageness of man, and make quiet the life of the world.’ The Earth itself is a Being, radiating outwards a consciousness that, no matter the vineyard in which you toil, each of us can reconnect with, refresh and renew ourselves, and perhaps even remake the world around us. In an Age of Absurdity, the soul’s longing has an uncommon degree of strength in the beauty of expression. Your thoughts and words change the world.

Sailing and a Matter of Prestige
‘Dear Mr. Savvakis, your poetry reminds me of a phrase by Terentius: ‘nothing human could be strange to me.’ This was what a Greek critic wrote about one my collections and I think he hit the nail on the head.Yes, indeed all human activities interest me. There are countless ways in which we react to both material and psychological realities, and one cannot help but marvel at this wonder of creation.Just as each of us has a unique fingerprint, we also possess a unique personality. We each handle even the most common problems in our own distinctive manner.Of course, we comprehend and interpret them differently, according to our customs, values, circumstances and a countless number of factors that determine our personality.Nothing human could be strange to me, and in my poetry, I strive to capture as many expressions of this uniqueness as possible.
