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

The events of the 20th century did not seem to excite them very much, nor did the Great War, which I hope is never repeated (Dienach is not aware of the Second World War and most probably, the people of the future did not inform him of it, thinking that he might return to his 1921 self), or the huge losses that the nations worldwide suffered. They didn’t know how many people swore to give their lives—and did—so that at least their children could live better and free… I did…

I realised that the passage of time and everything that has happened in the last 2000 years up to their time made them forget all those watershed events that once shook our own lives and changed the course of history. Past leaders, who went down in history as saviours of humankind and whom we considered immortal, are now characterised as “petty people”, “unworthy local leaders”, “opposed to commonwealth and progress of our species”, “deniers of culture” and “anti-humanists”. And I am speaking of leaders who, for decades, played a significant role in history. The only things they asked me when I told them that I was Swiss, were, firstly, if I knew any details about a global child protection organisation, based in Geneva, and secondly, if I had ever met any of the two famous “Alberts” of the era, Schweitzer and Einstein, or Bertrand Russell and Bergson. The latter is considered as another precursor here, since it’s because of his observation on tuition that they managed to “see” the prophecy about the Nibelvirch

. The same goes for Maurice Maeterlinck and “Blue Bird”… They claim to have seen the true “Blue Bird”...

The last memory that Norfor left me with was also the best. I said goodbye to Norfor by visiting the old town of Blomsterduft that had kept its old institutes and its alternating fields of green spaces and tree-lined streets, where you could almost feel the ancient Scandinavian spirit floating in the air you breathed. It was one of the few areas of the former Norway and Sweden where some national memories had managed to survive in this most devastating global melting pot of their times…

One of the first things done by young students who come to Norfor from all over the world in the millions is to pay homage to the old city, the cultural hub of their ancestors for 32 generations. Every nook and cranny is a memento of their culture of the last few centuries. As I learned, two great teachers from two-three hundred years ago were called Holberg and Eilensleyer and the traditions these two spiritual figures left behind have not faded in the least.

If the Valley of Roses—which is not even a quarter of the population of Norfor although the two places cover about the same area—is today considered the “Heart of the Earth”, Norfor, starting from Blomsterduft is the “Ark of the Spirit”, according to Stefan and Jaeger, because of the direct link it had to the development of Western civilisation, giving Europe a place next to the North American and South American cultural regions that for hundreds of years had been the centres of spiritual culture, from California and Florida to Boston and New Orleans, Cape Town and Pretoria.


PRIVATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND THEIR OPINION ABOUT WORK17- XI

On our way back we travelled through the western, coastal Alps to another state that was unknown to me, which was awash with an artificial pale white light, with palatial buildings that continued in endless symmetrical rows up to the Mediterranean Sea. We went down avenues at least one mile wide. I only managed to take a quick glance before we boarded on our individual means of transport heading back to our villas. While we descended, Stefan showed me a vast complex of buildings that looked as if made of children’s toy blocks, strewn across the whole country. At first I couldn’t understand what it was but I remember thinking that those blocks must have been of immense size. Stefan explained to me that we were flying above the production centres of Ragrilia: an entire industrial city, one of the largest in Southern Europe, with colossal production units where millions of enthusiastic youngsters worked nonstop in shifts.

People of today know that the existence of industrial states such as Ragrilia was a prerequisite for the existence and maintenance of Norfor, the Valley of the Roses and their other spiritual centres. They are well aware of the fact that these huge state production units with the endless electronic devices are the foundation of the current spiritual culture.

“The fact that we live in such comfort, that we have plenty of free time for inner cultivation and that freedom and happiness are now truly possible is owed to these states,” Stefan had admitted.
