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

The entire multi-millennial age of articulated speech, intellect, ability to reflect, all these cognitive functions, with the passage from naive faith to knowledge and positive sciences and even with the entire content of the affect, the emotional and co native urges and with all that psychic richness, is, Dienach says, a single age: Stage B. Regarding Stage A, he says that particular stage is reserved for the early, primitive man, whose senses and instincts were the only content of his mental life). From the

Nibelvirch onwards, Stage C dawns. It is an element which is added to the so far psycho-spiritual functions, which is not just new, but also superior in merit. None of the previous ones can compare to this, to direct enlightenment, even though they were a sine qua non

condition of the latter in terms of continuity. This new element—the possibility of direct view thanks to the Nibelvirch—did not come to demolish, reduce or weaken older mental functions. It came to add to them. It came to complement the entire cognitive human structure with something else, something more powerful.

One of the most characteristic of Dienach’s observations was that only once Stage C dawned did the right explanation and the deeper meaning of thousands of things during the previous stage become evident and only in this way did they receive proper interpretation. During Stage C, man became conscious of the deeper meaning of all those earlier things. These were the noble emotional urges, the high ideals, religious awe, the unbearable need of the soul of the greats for artistic creation in its highest expression, the inner need for justice, even if it concerned others and not oneself. Other noble sentiments were deep and true love and the attraction to voluntary sacrifice, the thirst for the final justification of virtue and the lofty longing for immortality, the ever misunderstood—as a base concern for mortality—spiritual inclination for a lease of life, that tendency to overcome the barriers of our biological fate and, generally, an entire universe of high moral and spiritual values. In one word, they were the most solemn and sacred ideals of the human soul. It was made clear that all those were nothing but diversiform manifestations of an unknown thirst of the spirit and soul, an ever unappeased nostalgia. It was only thanks to the Nibelvirch that it became possible for men to see its most profound object (the Samith

), to gain, that is, knowledge of what lies beyond the worldly manifestations of its apparent directions (the a posteriori interpretation, as he writes).

This thirst of the spirit and soul is the origins of the entire civilisation. He says that the higher the level of the moral and psycho-spiritual civilisation on a given sphere (inhabited planet) during a specific age, the more intense and noble shall the thirst of the soul be. In other words, it is the unknown spiritual and moral pain for the colossal difference—in beauty and grandeur—between the ambience of life and the Samith; between the apparent, that is, and the large ontological reality, which is multidimensional, and objectively existent.

One of the basic common features and common points between our biological species and the thousands of other species of rational living beings on myriads of celestial spheres is, according to Dienach, this common deepest cause for every sublime spiritual offering and generally for every creative inspiration for cultural achievements. Such is the unquenchable thirst of the spirit and soul, the nostalgia for the Samith even if we do not always feel it, even if it is not a conscious yearning.
