Rose Paradise : Essays of Fathoming: Gurdjieff, The Mahatmas, Andreev, The Emerald Tablets, OAHSPE and More

Frankie Pauling Hutton's insight comes from cosmology, esoteric Christianity, Theosophy, Gurdjieff's teachings, the Mahatmas and other superior beings. In this book, she weaves an extraordinary synthesis of essays which ponder the complicated, suffering prone life of earthlings as tied ultimately to the symbolism of the red rose, a unique rendering on earth which seems appreciated by every culture, globally for hundreds and hundreds of years. But why? There's obviously more to the rose than meets the eye. It is a lovely, fragrant and high frequency flower and perhaps that's why it has been so revered by diverse cultures and from pagans to patricians, commoners to royalty. But few among us know the metaphysics of the rose.  We might deduce from these essays that humans are ever watched over and even unknowingly tweaked by beings from afar until such time the will and pure quest for eternal life begins to take place which ushers in graceful, committed work capable of transcending polarization, politics, race, and soci-economic matters. To know the rose aright, is to trump all that divides earthlings and Hutton's essays show us why secret societies have ever revered the rose for that reason.

Following over a decade of research, in this little book, Dr. Hutton becomes our guide through a reacquaintance with ancient literature and poetry, biblical passages and much more to help us know the secret life of the rose. She fathom's the gist of the rose and explains in detail why this precious flower is in the league of God's profound renderings to mankind. The great teachers, including Dante, the Mahatmas, Andreev, Newbough, Gurdjieff, Rumi and Attar all point to the same message: to know the rose and know it well is to understand man's never ending quest to know the Source of all and everything, what many civilizations call God or the Force.
