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

I remember seeing the new Planetarium being built, not long ago, in New Göteborg, an entire state in the forest. They said that upon entering what would be the largest of its kind in the world, you would be able to travel to infinity, so far from our solar system that it would make our sun look like a star. In special Reigen-Swage you would be able to see real landscapes of other worlds, with double and triple orange, blue and greenish suns. I heard a lot more talk like this about this future, magical state, for which the name planetarium wasn’t suitable anymore, but was still used as a figure of speech. It was being built mainly for educational purposes, for both children and adults, and it would be ready in about 20 years. A colossal project!

On the occasion of the Planetarium, I came to the conclusion that, along with the adolescents of twelve to fifteen, who were looking forward to the day they’d see it finished, the same joy was shared by the old people who had no chance whatsoever of making it to that day; a carefree, genuine joy, as if they had never grown old.

Jaeger and Stefan attribute this new mentality and temperament mainly to Volkic preaching and not as much to the material prosperity of their times since, as they told me, during the Eldere, all their economic problems had already been solved and yet, happiness was not at all secured. The youth of the era used to rush to grab what they thought of as an opportunity for happiness very early in life, and then they realised that, what they had ended up with was not what they were looking for. For true happiness cannot exist without basic, moral values that operate as the base for a person’s inner balance and give life meaning and a higher purpose. Jaeger and Stefan likened

Eldere to a long, thousand-year-old era, waiting to find its saviour—its own Confucius, Christ or Socrates—which eventually found him at the Aidersen Institute.

A UNIQUE CONCERTMajorca, 13-XII

Silvia and I went to Majorca for Olaf Ledestrem’s concert, the great maestro of New Loria, who came all the way from Norfor for this express purpose. It is scheduled for tomorrow night at the Temple of Idea, at midnight, when the whole state will be asleep.

Seven thousand loving couples came from all the surrounding Mediterranean coasts to hear this exquisite maestro. Many are already here, but there are still many more coming. In fact, Hilda and Stefan will join us as well.

I heard that Ledestrem had chosen to perform the second part—the shortest one—of Ruthemir’s glorious Mass and Beethoven’s entire

Ninth Symphony.

Meanwhile, Silvia and I wandered around the whole state with its characteristic floral gardens high up on the roofs and the ornate railings on the balconies which, for some unknown reason, made me rejoice. The flowers here, however, are much less than the ones I saw in the coastal towns along the Bay of Biscay, on the west coast of France, from old Biarritz up north to the regions of Bordeaux. But what truly moved me and left me speechless was neither the flowers nor the crowds, but the existence of horse-drawn carriages, visibly different from ours, but still horse-drawn! You get on one of them and the partners of this romantic transport consortium take you on a tour to the beautiful parts of the island with the palm trees, beaches and orange groves as if nothing had changed from the times of my youth.

SILVIA’S WORLD VIEW

13-XII Again

(Late at night)

Silvia told me how lucky we are that our planet, an insignificant stone in the crown of the universe, happened to be hosting species endowed with the element of spirituality. When I told her that beauty does not exist without life, she replied that I was wrong because today they knew that only a few planets are inhabited, but all of them are beautiful...

She said that it’s not only about the existence of life on a planet, but that a percentage of that, a minimal percentage where organic life exists in the universe, evolves at more advanced stages of biological evolution and spiritual growth. And at some point of this stage of evolution, the “thirst of the soul” emerges and manifests itself through the tendency to reach and achieve things that are “incredible, inexistent and unfeasible” for many. “Then,” she said, “comes the most significant turning point in the history of spiritual culture of any kind. In the old days we thought of them as creations of the human spirit, but we now know that these manifestations stem from elsewhere and would exist elsewhere—possibly in different forms—regardless of human habitation on the planet. Similar types of psychic life would have made their appearance on other planets apart from our own. ”
