Recently I mentioned Philip Rubinov Jacobson's book
Drinking Lightning as a must read for anyone interested
in the interelation of spirit and art. His follow up book
"Promethean Flames" carries on as another offering of
high inspiration and bringing light to many of our inner
flames waiting for the will and allowance to generate love
and full expression of our human potentiality.






The publisher of Philip's books also has a fantastic collection
of artists of high vision and deep spiritual portals and adventures
for an open mind called "True Visions" which I also invite you
to have a look at
