Confession of a Ghost. F.M. Dostoevsky award. Playing Another Reality. Alexandra Kryuchkova

Kryuchkova recorded 40 steps of her Heavenly Staircase while moving along it in both directions. I believe that fixation has a hidden meaning.

      The architect Brunelleschi left no drawings for the construction of the dome of the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. They say that the master didn’t use drawings at all (as any shaman has no texts with him during the ceremony). Fortunately, one of Brunelleschi’s enemies, who envied his talent, watched the construction every day and secretly recorded all the stages and even the conversations of the masters and workers in his papers, thanks to which modern scientists restored the stages of construction step by step and discovered an incredible for our time fact – every day Brunelleschi compared several points of the growing dome of the cathedral with the projection of a flower bud, close to the golden ratio. Some information that scrolls through us may seem unnecessary, too fleeting, short-lived, or unbelievable to want to fix it. But if we succeed (or the soul demands it), it’s quite possible that sooner or later this information will come in handy. Not for us, but for someone who will stand on our shoulders and see what we don’t see yet and therefore don’t appreciate.

      Books with fixation of the worlds and spaces of Another Reality, such as “Rose of the World” by D. Andreev and “Confession of a Ghost” by A. Kryuchkova, are needed to maintain at least a minimum level of sacrality in the society, otherwise humanity, with its predictable striving for comfort and pleasures, will become uninteresting to the Higher Mind, and either the asteroid will lead the planet to the flood that will wash mankind away, or the flood will be caused by volcanoes, which someone blocks now. Do you remember Jules Verne’s captain Nemo on his Nautilus going around underwater volcanoes (centers of activity) to put some kind of stabilizers?

      Each our life is a rung on the Staircase of manifestation, an opportunity to gain a certain experience in order to enrich the thinking ocean of humanity. Perhaps, after passing through one labyrinth in this space, we’ll be switched to another and in a different one, in order to gouge spiritual galleries in the corridor of consciousness in various directions.

      The Theory of Time, touched upon by Alexandra Kryuchkova in the novel, collides the Past, the Present and the Future. Time takes us beyond the boundaries of three-dimensional space, but each one at its own speed, in its own measured rhythm, that has become a unique personal code for many incarnations, allowing the Heavenly Office (or Higher Mind) to track an individual without confusing him with the others, among 107 billion people who have ever lived on Earth throughout the history of mankind, to switch automatically from one level to another, to change the direction of movement and make stops so as not to cross paths with someone or vice versa – to meet someone.

      It’s also relevant the theme of the spiritual loneliness of creative people for whom Internet communication is not enough, while unanimity is important, since any stranger’s thought that is close to yours warms you like a flame of a candle or even a fire.

      As for postmortem visions, the Egyptian Book of the Dead is closer to me personally, but “Confession of a Ghost” will definitely find its reader, thinking in the same information space. And the more often we probe the connections of the material world with the spiritual world, the faster we’ll reach the Age of Enlightenment, in which the spiritual life will become the reality of the overwhelming majority.

      V. G. Shyltzyn, “The Rose of the Universe”

      If it were possible to classify literature, then “The Island of Charon” by Alexandra Kryuchkova would be quite logical to put on the same shelf with “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The reverent attitude to the miracle of being and the models of interconnections, built from internal causes and stretched throughout the entire Universe, look similar in these authors, despite the difference in their initial circumstances and diametrically opposite endings.

      Those critics who compare the prose of Alexandra Kryuchkova with Daniil Andreev are also right. The multitude of the worlds and parallel universes reflected in his “Rose of the World” could as well include the constructions found in her novel “Confession of a Ghost” and in the story “The Island of Charon”. The power of logical dependencies, filigreed by Kryuchkova, makes these works no less plausible than the philosophical bestseller of the famous mystic.

      Alexandra Kryuchkova’s prose built an invisible bridge between two previously unconnected authors of the past. “The Little Prince“ of Exupery took care of the rose, and the universal phenomenon of Daniil Andreev also turned out to be a rose, but for him it was already the “Rose of the World“. Taking up the relay race of generations, Alexandra Kryuchkova invisibly and delicately takes care of the very same rose.
