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

This socio-political phenomenon is not recent. It occurred at the beginning of the Eldere (Old times, Eldere began in our 2396 AD and lasted for 986 years until 3382 AD). Scientists accomplished it using the notion of abundance and an unprecedented progress in the education of children as their tools. The ‘service’ lasted twenty years then and before that, thirty years, but never did it cross anyone’s mind to wrong one another or steal from anybody, since no one lacked anything.”

I also asked him if something else was true, something that I happened to hear when I had my accident—or rather, when Andreas Northam had had his accident. I wanted to know whether even in case of an accident if the authorities only take into consideration the technical and medical variables without assigning any responsibility.

“That’s where education comes in, as I mentioned to you before. First of all, the likelihood of a car accident or any other kind of accident occurring is extremely low nowadays. But suppose that something like this happens and the driver of the linsen survives; there would be no need to assign blame, because such a possibility would be completely ruled out.”

There is a saying here, as Stefan told me, that says that the man of today, the Troende

as they call him, ‘can do no wrong’ as the British used to say about their king. This reality was made possible as a result of the deep respect they have for the value of the human life, which is implanted in their conscience from an early age. According to the current ‘Volkic perception’, each and every one of ‘thy neighbours’ is a ‘whole inner world’ full of dreams about life, affection, love and sacred human suffering, high ideals and a wide range of spiritual values, all reflections of the Samith, about which he had talked to me earlier. Their attention to detail and their foresight, which sometimes reaches the point of exaggeration, is incredible. They are extremely careful not to insult this ‘whole inner world’ in the slightest, either in terms of its physical or its moral existence. These people have followed, to the highest possible degree, the commandment of ‘love thy neighbour’.

“The same goes for the extremely rare occasion of someone illegally having a child,” Stefan continued. “The state does not envisage such a thing happening out of intention or carelessness because the respect for our demographic institutions precludes such possibility. In such matters, statistics are our infallible guide: such low percentages of illegal births cannot affect or disturb, even in the slightest, either the process of population screening or the rhythm of life. The compulsions and penalties have been replaced by domestic laws. Truly civilised people, people with ‘inner culture’, cannot do something that is wrong. Even if you force them to, so to speak, they cannot! Let’s look into the matter of signing up for the ‘service’, for example: if you search among the millions of young men and women, you won’t find a single person that would try to avoid it! Quite the contrary, in fact. Our leaders and educators are forced to fight, with proper instruction and arguments, the feeling of inferiority and unjustified remorse for those few children that annually, due to health problems, are not accepted into the glothners. Their great misery comes not from their illness or disability, but by the feeling of being a burden to their fellow men...”

He again stressed the simplicity of the existing institutions, assuring me that there were no other ones, apart from those concerning the ‘service’, population screening and traffic control.

“So few constraints,” he said with some obvious pride, “so few institutions and this lack of authority and enforcement in an individual’s life creates a great deal of space for individual freedom—always combined with self-discipline, of course. Nowadays no one stops you from travelling to the other side of the world, from saying and doing whatever you want, believing in whatever you want, the way you see fit. Education—from the most basic to the highest—the daners, the ‘temples', the Reigen-Swage

, the theatres, the parks, the beaches, the museums, the hospitals, all sorts of institutions, the walks, the malls, the larinters, the countryside, the exercise centres and all sorts of sports, all these and so much more that you cannot even imagine, are all open to us, especially from the age of nineteen and onwards. And the help of statistics is also miraculous when it comes to ’distribution‘: they keep a balance between supply and demand making everything abound by monitoring all global needs and making early and precise predictions.”

I asked him how the lack of any form of enforcement, as he says, is compatible with the work of the Ilectors and the Lorffes.
