That's when I discovered the book for the first time and started to "restore" it, without the sentimentalities that kept Papachatzis from doing something more than an exact translation of the ‘holy’ scripts of his teacher. Almost a century after the original script was written, this was a task that had to be undertaken so that a 21stcentury reader could really understand what a20thcentury man wanted to say.
And so I did it, making sure not to change any of the content, but filtering out irrelevant notes pertaining to Dienach’s early life and emphasizing his experience of the future, but in a simpler language and without the gaps that Dienach’s narration had.
I have tried to keep the true essence of his story intact. This was my debt to Dienach, whose chronicles from the future completely changed my perspective of life. Nothing more, nothing less. My only goal was to make it accessible to all of you, because if Dienach’s experience was indeed real, this book contains revolutionary information – something the Masons clearly recognized – and has the potential to radically change your view of the world and mankind.
Now that you know the background to this unique story, I will simply deposit the future in your hands with an abstract from the introduction of the 1979 edition of the book by George Papachatzis, the man who personally knew Dienach:
I have to tell you that while Papachatzis was just a student at the time of receiving Dienach’s diary, he went on to become a very respectable man of his era. He was Vice President of the European Movement (National Council of Greece), Founding Member of the Greek Philosophical Society, and a Professor of Philosophy and Culture. He risked a lot in publishing Dienach’s work and this on its own reflects his unwavering belief in its authenticity.
Now I leave you with Dienach’s diary, a chronicle from the future…
