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

Beyond a certain stage of evolution “of the psychic and spiritual life” this deepest cause starts, he says, to appear imperative, invincible and unappeased. The forms of organic matter may greatly vary compared to ours, depending on the terms governing the appearance and the ascent of life to those very distant spheres. If these terms, however, have actually happened to meet with the “divine spark”, if they encompass something to which we owe our intellect, rationalism and emotion, then they cannot but approach our species in everything pertaining to the higher spiritual realms. Something similar to our own unquenchable thirst for research and knowledge shall exist, something similar to our own “worries of the heart”, something similar to our unbearable inclination towards the indestructible and eternal, the inherent warm emotional attraction towards a supreme existence of unknown nature and with our honest faith in “higher powers”, something similar to our own great artist’s imperative inner voice, the inevitable psychic urge to give the ideal of beauty a visible form, to grant the work a lease of life, beyond the model’s biological decay, to defeat time and the law of decay. Dienach concludes that the deepest, radical cause of all those civilisations and their historical realisations is common; it is the thirst of spirit and soul for the Samith

.

For Dienach, this common feature has, apart from the primary importance of the common cause and also the common purpose, the importance of time duration and even validity (Geltung

) in the vast cosmos. He writes that every species’ mission on every inhabited sphere and the task assigned by fate is to erect the spiritual structure of its civilisation as beautifully, perfectly, highly and completely as possible. This common trait has greater importance than the historical cultural achievements themselves. Civilisations, he says, come and go. However, their deepest origins remain eternal and unalterable.

The great aesthetic civilisation of Classical antiquity, the thousands of statues and temples in Athens and Corinth, the high level of common aesthetic consciousness of those times in ancient Greece, which created man’s inner need to live in such an ambience of beauty, came and went. However, the cause remains. The thirst of that soul, the nostalgia for the Samith

, shall create, he says, something new—never entirely the same, something new with original elements. This is actually the case with the new great miracle of creation in symphonic musical compositions in central Europe during the 19th century, which is the worthy equivalent of the Greek miracle of the Classical Age.

Discoveries regarding the laws that govern the natural universe come one after the other and the ever new celestial mechanics prove the teachings of each previous version mistaken. However, the cause remains. It is the thirst of the spirit and soul, the nostalgia for the Samith

, which is manifested in this field in the form of that longing for research, which honours our species. It is the spiritual yearning and invincible inclination to learn something more each time and discover something more correct regarding the great secret that surrounds us, to extract nature’s secrets, to diagnose the laws that govern natural phenomena.

Religions, with their doctrines, the stories of their sacred history, their teachings and their rituals of worship, come, go and vary depending on the places, spheres and times. However, their deepest cause remains. In this field, the cause in question is manifested via the feeling of religiousness. This is an unbearable need of the soul for both our humanity and for every deserving species of rational and emotional living beings on other inhabited planets.

The specific forms often assumed by high ideals, the eternal moral values and values of spiritual life, come and go. However, their deepest cause remains. Their effect on our spiritual world does not depend on each ephemeral form. The cause never varies. The inner need is always as intense, the feeling of worship, the frenzy and the competitive tendency are always as intense and the same applies for the force of spiritual longing and unbridled enthusiasm. No price seems high enough for their sake, regardless of the particular form each of those great ideals assumes every time.
