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

Many of the great spiritual men of today have not been sent to live in Kongeborg, but that doesn’t mean that the public admires and respects them less; they idolise them all the same! Their value is defined by their contribution, not by their rank. It’s just that the other ones, the annual or biannual officials are there either because their predecessors had appointed them as a result of publicly acknowledging their intellectual superiority or because they had requested elections themselves. Sometimes they did this in order to let people judge whether or not they had progressed spiritually in the meantime or because their predecessors were simply tired and wanted to retire, live more privately or even work, especially when their term of office in the Palaces had been extended to more than two years.

If the term of office in the Palaces (Paladser as they call them now) and in Kongeborg also gives some sort of power to the holder of the title and what kind of power that is, I never truly understood. What it certainly gives to the person is great, but symbolic, honours and it is also considered a proof of excellence and prudence. Even though the Lorffes

and Ilectors had found everything tidy and organised from the old times of the Eldere, from the times of the governance of the great technicians, they never wanted to “break with protocol”. The Nojere for some reason wanted to maintain the old hierarchy and “titles” and to express through them the new evaluative beliefs, beliefs that were in complete disagreement with those of the “old age”, the gammel epoke

, that is, the times of technocracy.

In many cases, these temporary officials haven’t really renounced the secular joys and material goods even though they know how to hide it. Most of them however, and especially the top leaders, want nothing to do with all that; the spirit is all that matters for them.

Several months ago, Aria and Syld had talked to Stefan and Hilda about Knut Niversun and how he felt the day he was given the blue and white ribbons… His concern was that someone better had been wronged! “If that’s true,” he said, “I have a way to fix it next year.” And when someone asked him what he would do if it turned out that he was the one that had been wronged, he answered that he didn’t care one iota and that someone would right that wrong sooner or later. “Do you think that when children are loved either they need to be declared Lorffes to enjoy this love?” he asked them. And I was told that he then made a hint about the Roisvirch

, saying that everything wonderful that exists or happens around us we should make part of our lives: the arrival of spring, the distant sounds of children's songs, the love for people, nature and the forest…”

The way their wise men think is very… wise! Even though they are considered superior to all spiritual men of all times, they come to add to what has been told in the past, not to refute it… Never has a Volky tried to discredit Christ. Never has a Valmandel (860 or 3256 AD) or a Ruthemir (1014 or 3410 AD) ever tried to invalidate a Bach or a Beethoven. They were in favour of enrichment, not demolition.

Something similar is now happening with Gunnar Hiller, says Syld: the highest title that he could ever ask for was that of a grandfather. The greatest joy that he has ever experienced was when his little angel called him “Grandpa” for the first time.

A while back he had been asked if he aspired to see his son taking his place one day. As a matter of fact, his son had shown a very significant inclination towards philosophy and has also written an excellent three-volume work on ethics.

“I cannot know what the future holds,” replied Hiller, “but I will tell you one thing: I will strongly hesitate to urge him to expose himself despite his innate talent and prolific vocation…Chances are that for now my successor will be a complete stranger, son of another complete stranger, one of the thousand students of the Aidersen Institute. I do not dream to see my son in my position, and this is not the point. I only dream that my son too will bow down to that future, unknown for now genius, whoever that is…”
