Chronicles From The Future: The amazing story of Paul Amadeus Dienach

At the same time, on our earth, the first serious and somewhat positive universal efforts were made  to strike down the monster of anarchy, which tormented human societies for centuries and in many forms: political disorganisation, fights over sovereignty, military rivalries, plundering of national economies, demographic anarchy and the like. And so began a dramatic struggle that lasted approximately four centuries, with many alternating phases and transitions, a struggle between the ancient, but well-founded, beliefs and the new ideas about the organisation and rationalisation of life.

The revolution in political organisation that was based on logic and humanity followed the exact path and time sequence of the two other great revolutions, the French of 1789 and Russian of 1917: first came the philosophers, intellectuals and theorists of the new world order, saying that as the form of organisation of the 19th and 20th centuries with the fully armed dominant nation states, which most positively led to holocausts and annihilation could not continue, and then—after a long period of time—followed the political activists, orators and social reformers.

Mainly in continental Europe and Great Britain, the intelligentsia urged the political leaders of the large and powerful nations to stop their “outdated and unsynchronised course.”

They preached prudence and sound reason and told them that the days when “the people had to fight for their rights” were long gone and that, old incentives and slogans like “national prestige”, “no compromise, no retreat” and “heroic course of the nation” had lost much of their value due to new conditions of life.

They spoke of a “system of eternal values” that their European ancestors had bequeathed to the new generations and told them that they had to be the guardians of this sacred legacy, which was much larger and deeper than any of different ethnic roots or linguistic differences.

They said that cultural heritage, historical traditions, the course of life and historical destinies were common to everyone. “We must unite both in life and in consciousness!”

There was no need for extensive revolutions to take place in order for the new world order to be built on the ruins of the old regimes. To a large extent, pivotal international treaties were signed, and that was enough, at least initially.

The new law and order followed more democratic paths since the days of the Pax Romana, although it took a long time and several attempts to establish it. The expectations of the proponents of the New Order were often wrong. Many were repeatedly persecuted before the New Order finally prevailed.

While the small nations had no such “concerns about the future” in the 21stcentury, in the large and powerful countries new political alliances had begun to take shape, alliances that had integrated in the program some characteristics of European or universal federations. In fact, it was even reported that the old parties, the Socialists and the Christian Democrats, also added requirements of the new era to their programs.

As the decades passed, these new ideas and perspectives found more and more fertile ground, especially in the hearts of young people and the lower social strata. And so, with the passage of time, the political arena began to acquire its first “great men with global recognition and appeal” for the first time in history, in contrast to the local leaders we had become accustomed to.

Technological advances had eliminated distances and had brought people very close to one another. The world gave the impression of a single region, still politically disorganised, waiting for the “legislators” and the powerful politicians with global authority to permanently lay down the rules for the “organisation” of the planet. At the same time, man now had weapons of mass destruction in his control, unknown and inexistent in earlier times. The rapid technological acme, however, was not in line with the corresponding moral maturity and rationality. There was no “internal law”, a law of spiritual culture like the one they have now, which was needed as a guarantor of law and order.

In our times, they said, we thought that ensuring the compliance with the law within each country separately was sufficient. War was for us a natural way of resolving serious disputes between nations. That was the state of mind we had before the 21st century.
