The Philosophers of the Living Fire: The Dance of Life by Richard P. Adair

The Philosophers of the Living Fire: The Dance of Life is a true story which takes place in New York City during the 1950s. When the story begins, Robin Gordon has recently moved to New York City in order to join his spiritual mentor, who also happens to be an Eastern Orthodox bishop. Mar Shimun mentors Robin through weekly meetings where they discuss aspects of hermeticism, cabbala, mysticism, and related topics. Mar Shimun also recounts stories from his own life, which are bizarre, disturbing, and astounding.

While Robin is trying to establish himself in the city, he meets the first love of his life, Maria Borges. She is an ambitious artist and fabric designer who has spent little time considering spirituality outside of Catholicism. As we their love blossoms and grows, Robin opens Maria’s mind to esoteric, mystical spirituality, while her devout aunt looks on disapprovingly.

A spiritual path has its rewards and its difficulties, and contained within these pages is an account of Richard Porter Adair’s experiences in his mid-life. While presented as an occult fiction, it is a semi-autobiographical version of the author’s life as a young man.
