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.

Old Whore Life is a collection of personal musings that put a unique spin on Murphy’s Law. “What goes around comes around” is an expression that has been around for a long time, and is just another way of expressing karma in action. But the curious thing about karma is that it sneaks up on you when you least expect it and creates havoc with your life at the most inopportune time. Karmic reconciliation most often occurs once the misdeed has been long forgotten, so it becomes very difficult to make the karmic connection. But what causes this karma? Entertaining, insightful, character revealing, and filled with humor drawn from everyday life, author Orest Stocco focuses on the shadow personality by creating an image in the reader’s mind of the shadow self being like an “old whore that squats obscenely upon your shoulder” to shell out retribution for the karmic debt that one incurs with life. Musing after musing, one becomes more familiar with the concept of the shadow self and may even warm up to the image of “Old Whore Life”. I know I did. A very delightful read, indeed!
