About

Introducing Georgian Bay Author, Orest Stocco

Born with a spiritual restlessness that could not be tamed by my Christian faith, I became a spiritual seeker when I discovered reincarnation in Plato's Dialogues at the age of fifteen. I grew up in a small town in North Western Ontario, and at twenty-one I had my own pool hall and vending machine business; but my restless spirit called me away to seek out my destiny, and I sold my business and sailed to France.

In the Alpine city of Annecy, in the Haute-Savoie region of France I had a dream that called me to my destiny. I entered into the mind of every person in the world and took every question they had ever asked and reduced them all to one question: Why am I? I returned to Canada and went to university to study philosophy to seek an answer to this haunting question, and by "chance" I discovered Gurdjieff, the redoubtable teacher of a system of transformative thought that he called "the Work." His teaching excited my restless spirit and compelled me to seek out the answer to man's disquieting question in the fast, often tumultuous currents of daily living.

Story Behind The Book

“This journey home to God is nothing more than a journey to our true, spiritual self.” KEEPER OF THE FLAME is a modern day Pilgrim’s Progress. It is the story of one soul’s spiritual quest that spans the centuries. Reincarnation is central to the story. From the narrator’s first primordial human life on earth as “Grunt,” where he experiences the dawning of self-consciousness, through to his lifetime as Phaedrus, student of Pythagoras, to Samuel the Essene, when he studied the same secret teaching as Jesus Christ, to his lifetime as the infamous “scoundrel of Paris,” a black slave in southern Georgia, a dishonored textile baron in Genoa, Italy, to a self-exiled English aristocrat, the narrator completes his spiritual quest for his true self in his current lifetime. KEEPER OF THE FLAME opens the doors to the deepest mystery in life: What is man’s relationship with God? The answer will surprise you!
