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

I was thinking that if I managed to learn how exactly they achieved abundance in consumer goods and means of transport, if I could find out the details about the service plans and the method of enlistment, their universal confederation of trade unions, the commonwealth of the Cives and their rationalistic institutions and could return to our time one day, we could implement all this as well. But first we’d have to transform humans, build them from scratch. Because here, for the last centuries, there hasn’t been a single instance of one person approaching another person with the purpose of benefiting from them or exploiting them for any reason. This phenomenon has vanished from their interpersonal relations. And I’m ashamed to admit it but, in the beginning, even I happened to take advantage of their naivety in order to make exchanges that would prove beneficial to me. I would achieve any exchange the way I wanted to, in less than two minutes, by first showing excessive enthusiasm about something of theirs and then appealing to their friendship and good nature. The thought that I wasn’t being completely honest, never crossed anyone’s mind. Then I stopped doing it.

You could easily do them irreparable damage by taking advantage of their naivety, but the most terrible thing is that, afterwards, they wouldn’t talk about the damage or try to claim responsibility; they would just wonder how there could be so much cunning in the world, and how their love and honesty was repaid with such malice.

One day I asked the Office Partners of the sector of technical resources for a second Reigen (a 3D screen), claiming that I had lost the first one. The next day they sent me a new one without even checking if I was telling the truth and without verifying the order or the serial number.

The Valley of the Roses itself gives directions to the glothners so that there is abundance and variety of consumer goods in order for the Cives

to have the privilege of choice, but only for the standard goods. The officials of the spiritual hierarchy, however, even the Tilteys, are entitled to personalised products and can make specialised orders. As for the sufficiency of the products in number, it is ensured by statistical demand; the types, variety and quantity of production are determined by the previous year’s statistical data gathered from the consumers.

TROENDE: THE NEW HUMAN BEING

Stefan doesn’t know anything about my aforementioned behaviour in the beginning of my stay here, and in any case, it is a thing of the past. Their childhood purity of heart and mind is so moving that it makes you want to be like them. Their intellectual and moral purity and clarity has such a power to relax and alleviate me that there are times when I feel love for the whole world… They don’t suspect anything bad about you and you, in turn, feel the need to get rid of even the slightest ugliness inside you. In their eyes you look so much better than you really are and that urges you to actually become better. They see so much sincerity, love and selflessness in you and something inside you makes you want to justify this idea they have for you, as much as possible.

That’s how it is: the current Troende, the man of the new era, is a social and psychological type of human, successor to the human-robot, the "practical man", who wore the blinders of his daily struggle for survival, who was always on the verge of anxiety, deprived of any inner life and free time look after himself or nature, the man-product of the soulless techno-culture, the materialistic man of the era of mechanistic philosophy that was completely out of touch with any spiritual foundation.

Furthermore, now they are also capable of distinguishing the intellect from the soul. Today, more than in any other moment in the history of mankind, the spiritual culture burdens the consciousness of the contemporary man, regardless of the achievements of the intellect, knowledge, scientific and technological progress.

But the most surprising difference between the old and the new social history is arithmetic; the Troende is now the most common type of social man worldwide. Here, the commandment of “love thy neighbour” is the prevailing way of living—it is the rule not the exception. These people have managed to turn the “unbelievable” and the “impossible” into the “possible” and “real”. They are following the preaching of Christianity without being Christians.
