   Is anybody on here familiar with the Russian Christian mystic   
   and poet Daniil Andreev?   
      
   Here is a quote I got from the web:   
      
   "Roza Mira (Full title in Russian: Роза Мира.   
   Метафилософия истории, literally, The Rose of the World.   
   The Metaphilosophy of History.) is the title of the main book by Russian   
   mystic Daniil Andreev. It is also the name of the predicted new universal   
   religion, to emerge and unite all people of the world before the advent of   
   the Antichrist, described by Andreev in his book. This new interreligion, as   
   he calls it, should unite the existing religions "like a flower unites its   
   petals", Andreev wrote.”   
      
   I am interested since the phrase “the rose of the world” reminds   
   me of my blue rose vision of Sept. 6, 1991, which I describe   
   on my Salmon on the Thorns web page. Also Andreev’s   
   philosophy of an interreligion that is like a rose with the   
   existing religions as petals is similar to my philosophy of   
   Commonality and Diversity, which I also mention on that   
   web page. However I am not trying to start a new religion.   
   Also unlike Andreev I am not still Christian, though I was   
   raised Catholic, currently have Jesus as one of my minor   
   deities, and have messages that were influenced by the   
   messages of Jesus.
