The book, which will be discussed at the same timeunknown and famous: the esoterically educated public is well acquainted with it; readers, far from mysticism and other subtle matters, could not even hear about this work - the book "Rose of the World". Daniil Andreev outlined the quintessence of his convictions in it.
Daniel Andreev: crazy or a prophet?
Сын известного писателя-эмигранта Леонида Andreeva was no less talented than his father. Already from his youth, Daniel discovered in himself the ability to see the material plans of being, transphysical reality and subtle worlds.
The future poet, writer and visionary was born in 1906year From an early age he began to write poetry, and later - prose. Already by the age of 35, the heritage of Daniel Andreev was composed of a series of poetic cycles and the novel "Wanderers of the Night."
However, his work was interpretedStalinists as anti-Soviet. According to the laws of that time, not only the author of the novel and his wife, Alla Andreeva, were arrested, but many of their members, whom Daniel read his works in the evenings. The guardians of the totalitarian regime crushed the fate of the innocently convicted and destroyed almost all the manuscripts of Andreev, finding them dangerous for the dominant doctrine of Stalinism.
The writer spent in prison 10 years, which he dedicated to restoring his works, and most importantly, to creating the most famous of his books - "The Roses of the World".
The legend of the miraculous birth of the book
Fans of the writer's talent are sure of unearthlythe origin of the work "Rose of the World". Daniil Andreev, a brief summary of the work of which will be given below, told in the preface how he managed in an incomprehensible way to hide manuscripts from the jailers and searches. He had no 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 emerged from the dungeons, his main work was almost ready.
Andreev was already hopelessly ill and knew that.The remaining two years he put in order his spiritual heritage, poems and the manuscript of the Rose of the World. His wife and associate Alla Andreeva kept the notes secret until 1991, when the book saw the light of day. The writer's dream came true: he was able to share his insights with the whole world.
Picture of the world of Daniel Andreev
Everyone has their own point of view onhappening in the world. Beyond the bounds of the customary and generally accepted picture came out, which Daniel Andreev saw - “The Rose of the World”. The entire text is imbued with spiritual insights and guesses, as if it took in a part of the author's soul.
He firmly believed in the eternal opposition of Good andEvil, but did not rule out the possibility of evolution for dark worlds and entities. His inner view appeared to be a polyworld, a kind of vertical hierarchy of diverse spaces. Each eternal soul, crossing the limits of mortal life, in his conviction, fell into the world corresponding to the lifetime acts of a person.
The author’s worldview was not limited to spiritualpostulates: he was convinced of the destructiveness of any dictatorship and in the violent nature of any state. All this came to life in the pages of the book "Rose of the World": Daniel Andreev outlined his views in his main brainchild.
He called the Rose of the World the era of the Golden Age - the inevitably approaching (according to some predictions of the Indian Brahmins, already begun) a period of freedom and flourishing personality.
