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

Regardless of the differences of opinion and ways of expressing them owed to the different time periods, another wise man, Jacobsen, had made a vague statement regarding the possibility of a new, eminent flourishing of culture. Twenty-five years later, if I remember correctly, the aesthete and philosopher Close and Lelia Nopotkin called the attention of their generation to the need to keep their eyes open, have faith and be prepared for something unexpectedly great: the "century of secret promise", for what "is today invisible."

The specialists of each field had their own theories and opinions on the subject. In the various observatories in the faculties of the Valley, each of which had the size and structure of a small town, the two Ferids, father and son (astronomers and thinkers), along with many other faithful followers of the venerable elder, a great lover of the universe, were looking for spiritual influences and messages from distant, kindly beings.

Before the year 830, Aloisius Nilson, an intellectual and recluse from Flambia, wrote from there, in the midst of his solitude, about the “great events that are dozing in the depths of the future” and that “they may not be as distant as they seem”. He said that “the day is not far when the dialogues of Plato may be rewritten; when new Parthenons may be built and new 9th symphonies may be composed.”

None of them, however, was able to predict—neither then, nor later in history—the arrival of the Nibelvirch a hundred and fifty years later.

Those hopeful and promising sermons lasted for decades. In fact, the last years before the arrival of the Nibelvirch

, a few Ilectors—mainly Bearen, Tatiana Baclyn and some fellow named Gunnar whose last name I don’t remember—spoke to their generation about many things related to this, both general and more specific, things that they later were lucky enough to see with their own eyes.

Humanity waited for “that which was to come” for decades. The conditions of life had improved so much that they had reached the level of making prediction possible. But there were many who said that people would be better off without the ability to predict with such confidence a spiritual revolution that would happen sixty years later, the way they could formerly predict a natural phenomenon like the coming of a comet. So intense was the thirst of their hearts that they couldn’t wait.

Those people who had a more philosophical approach could more easily compromise and accept their fate. There were many, however, who couldn’t, and would blame their luck for not being born later in time so that they could have the chance to see what’s coming. They believed that “he, who dies in these times, dies a thousand times”. They considered it a great loss to miss the coming of such an immediate future reality. In the end, they found consolation in the thought that at least their children would have a serious chance of being present when it happens and that they’d see the great days of the future through their eyes.

Indeed, a few decades later, the promised flourishing of culture finally came. It first influenced the European nations, which for fourteen hundred years had fallen into obscurity, caught in between warring giants. And the reason why this new wave of spiritual civilisation hit Europe first was the establishment of Norfor as a spiritual centre of the world already since the year 450 (circa 2850 AD), and of course the establishment of the Valley of the Roses.

In terms of duration, this boom in arts, letters and intellect had many similarities with the old “Greek miracle”, but in terms of space, this new European spirit did not stay localised in one place. Its initial outbreak may have been in Europe, but it rapidly spread across the whole world.

Dozens of names of cities and regions and of great figures of the new civilisation are listed in the history pages: great, wise men, spiritual leaders, artists, educators, philosophers, researchers, heroes of the human intellect and apostles of humanism, who worked and taught generation after generation, during those unforgettable sixty to seventy years in Gran Torneo and Gled, in the Gate of Lesley and Blomsterfor, in Ossen and Vikingegnist, in Leag-Aud and New Upsala, in Roselukin and, especially, in the Valley of Roses.

Their current history says that particular era—their 9th century—was the first one in the entire history of humankind that managed to depict so precisely people’s ideas and dreams and make them come alive. They told me that it was as if a divine spell was cast upon earth while those two blessed generations lived on it. Those years seemed like a dream to the world population of the time: countless immortal and everlasting artworks, secrets of the physical universe decoded, unique pieces of writing, new unheard ideas, musical harmonies that exceeded those of the ancient, for them, Germans.
