"Rose of the World", Daniil Andreev. Summary and thoughts aloud

The book about which the speech will be spoken at the same time is unknown, and is famous: the esoterically educated public is well acquainted with it; Readers, far from mysticism and other subtle matter, could not even hear about this work - the book "The Rose of the World." Daniil Andreev is brief, the quintessence of his convictions was laid out precisely in it.

Daniel Andreev: crazy or a prophet?

The son of the famous emigrant writer Leonid Andreev was no less talented than his father. Already from his youth, Daniel discovers in himself the ability to see foreign material planes of being, transphysical reality and subtle worlds.

The future poet, writer and visionary was born in 1906. From an early age he began to write poetry, and later - and prose. Already by the age of 35, Daniel Andreev's legacy was a series of poetic cycles and the novel "Wanderers of the Night".

However, his work was interpreted by the Stalinists as anti-Soviet. Under the laws of the time, not only the author of the novel and his wife Alla Andreeva were arrested, but also many of their circle, whom Daniel read his works in the evenings. The watchmen of the totalitarian regime trampled on the fates of innocently convicted persons and destroyed almost all Andreev's manuscripts, finding them dangerous for the dominant doctrine of Stalinism.

The writer spent 10 years in prison, which he dedicated to the restoration of his works, and most importantly, the creation of the most famous of his books - "Roses of the World."

The legend of the wonderful birth of the book

The admirers of the writer's talent are assured of the unearthly origin of the work "The Rose of the World". Daniel Andreev, whose summary of creation will be given below, told in the preface how he managed to hide the manuscripts in an incomprehensible way from jailers and searches. He did not doubt that he was helped not only by people, but also by "not people" - the bright essences of the Higher World.

The book was born year after year on scraps of paper that could be obtained in prison. When in 1957 the writer left the prison, his main work was almost ready.

Andreev was already hopelessly sick and knew this. For the remaining two years, he put in order his spiritual heritage, poems and manuscript "Roses of the World." His wife and companion Alla Andreeva kept the records secret until 1991, when the book was published. The writer's dream came true: he was able to share his insights with the whole world.

The picture of the world of Daniel Andreev

He firmly believed in the eternal opposition between Good and Evil, but did not exclude the possibility of evolution for dark worlds and essences. His inner gaze was represented by a multi-world, a kind of vertical hierarchy of diverse spaces. Every eternal soul, crossing the limits of earthly life, according to his conviction, fell into the world corresponding to the lifetime acts of man.

The author's worldview was not limited to spiritual postulates: he was convinced of the perniciousness of any dictatorship and in the violent nature of any state. All this came to life on the pages of the book "The Rose of the World": Daniel Andreev outlined his short content in his main brainchild.

The Rose of the World he called the era of the Golden Age - inevitably coming (according to some predictions of Indian brahmanas, already begun) the period of freedom and the flowering of personality.
