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

He respectfully spoke of the great figures of the past, whom he described as “precursors”. He mentioned the names of Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, several Eastern figures I do not remember, Plotinus, St. Augustine and Origen, Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza and Kant. From the 19th century he spoke of Engels and Kierkegaard, who are now considered among the greatest. Beyond that, he said the era of one-sided technological prosperity that followed and lasted for about five hundred years, created a climate that was not conducive to the emergence of great spiritual figures and teachings. The next names he mentioned were of some great intellectual minds of the Valley of the Roses and especially Chillerin from the Aidersen Institute.

I asked him again about the major differences between the new and the old knowledge—if what we had in our time could be called knowledge.

“The first difference,” he replied, “is the spreading of knowledge. The Volkic perception of the major issues of life and of the world is not only localised in the intelligentsia or certain ethnicities. The people of today are impregnated with this knowledge and they believe in it so much that it has become part of their everyday life.”

The truth is that I have observed several times that, even in their daily occupations, these people often incorporated principles from Volkic knowledge in a way that showed deep understanding.

“Then,” he continued, “it has to do with the way knowledge is transmitted. Thanks to the Nibelvirch

we have access to direct knowledge, which is free of any external teachings. And last but not least, compared to the reality that revealed itself to us through the Oversyn, all that had been said in the past by the formerly great mystics of religion about disappearing in our own spirit and becoming aligned with the divine seemed like children’s words to us. We still honour them, of course, because they are the spiritual heritage of our ancestors. They had been alleviating human suffering until the Nibelvirch. Direct knowledge had to come for the comparison to be made and for the tremendous difference to show. Only the comparison to what really exists out there could demonstrate their childish naivety, and it did. But now, all this is only of historical significance.

Stefan stopped speaking for a few minutes, as if he were trying to remember what he had seen or read, trying to put his thoughts in order.

“That’s how everything revealed itself. And that explains that horrific hit of the Roisvirch that, if you saw it all at once without being prepared, it scared you to pieces and which, at first, was fatal to thousands of unprepared human hearts. This sudden and impetuous torrent of such unprecedented spiritual happiness was more that the human soul could endure. They say that older generations could not imagine and believe how much objectivity there is in what we call ‘spiritual worlds’. Back then, we thought that if the human race did not exist on Earth, then beauty, art, religion, poetry, philosophy and other moral values wouldn’t exist either.

He stressed again how metaphysical the spiritual sciences ultimately proved to be. “Just as the man watching the dust and stones could not imagine the true composition and structure of matter, so too the spiritual world is merged with the material world in a transcendent way. It’s just that our mind is too finite to comprehend it and our sensors are faulty. But this does not mean that it doesn’t exist.

He stopped talking again and concentrated on his thoughts. “Nibelvirch’s arrival brought to mind something similar that had happened in the past, concerning the awareness of the natural world. Two thousand years ago, around your own twentieth century, there was a boom in the natural sciences and their technical applications, a huge, unprecedented leap forward, within a very short period of time. One after another came the inventions, human knowledge was significantly upgraded and somehow the borders of the natural world expanded to an incredible extent. In a few decades’ time they came to understand that the earth was, in fact, a nothing in the middle of nowhere, instead of the centre of the universe as they had previously believed. Something similar happened with Volky—though not only regarding the natural world—and then we realised that the truth was completely different from the way theological tradition and the exact sciences presented it.”
