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

She also said that one of the features of this turning point is that it generates a “common conscience and faith for the purpose of individual life”, which escapes the constraints of prosaic, rational reality. She spoke to me about sensitivity, selflessness, sentimentality and voluntary sacrifice, about the inclination of the soul that can go so far as biological self-destruction, which is not a human creation. She completed her phrase by saying, “Before, the Volkic dimension of depth eluded man as a receiver.”

What she was trying to tell me was more or less what Stefan and Jaeger were trying to explain to me all the time. When I asked, she admitted that of course she didn’t know the ultimate, overall purpose of life, but that, in her view, the immediate purpose of life for every biological species with spirituality is to build, during their lifetime, the highest possible personal culture. And that’s what gives value to the lives of our own humanity. “Truly,” she said, “it's worth being born human. First we had to go through all these tests, of course, but I think that, ultimately, they were worth going through.”

It seems to me that her sole purpose was to impress me, make me pay more attention to her and maybe even to prove how fresh in her mind everything she had learned at school still was. Besides, I already knew from Stefan that that’s what they learn about at school: moral perfection rather than material prosperity, and not only in terms of the individual, but in terms of the race overall. Ultimately reaching one’s destination had nothing to do with gaining power over nature, unlocking its secrets or enslaving it, nor with technological evolution, riches and assured prosperity. They claim that those are the means, not the ends.

Sylvia added that they are aware that humankind won’t live forever, that it will be erased at some point or another. And they believe that only if our species chooses “a path towards the Samith” will we not have lived in vain.

“Whatever we achieve in this life is only worth it because it takes us one step closer to the Samith; it’s an attempt to feel it, to touch it. That’s the only way something can last after its disappearance or after death. That’s the only reason why nothing ever goes to waste. Without the

Samith neither the perfect institutions, nor the Universal Commonwealth, nor the abundance and the amenities we enjoy would be of any value.”

Finally she told me that, without the quality that defines our love, we would have been deprived of the “magical knowledge” that we all share today. It’s the quality of it and not its intensity or the power of physical attraction that helped us deepen our relationships so much. And such a heart-to-heart-connection is something completely different from a fierce passion. She then added—if I understood and convey her words correctly—true love can be compared to a religious experience or intuition. So incredibly creative is its power!

She talked to me about many things, like other cultures and their strengths and capabilities, explaining to me that the greatest and highest values of inner culture do not differ from world to world; they’re one and the same no matter if one culture is intellectually and spiritually superior. The same divine spark still exists.

CHRONICLES FROM THE FUTURE

It was one o’clock in the morning when Silvia opened the book of poems and started reciting them to me. She went from Larsen to Goethe and from Schiller to Sulsnik, whose verses she remembered by heart:

Poets, don’t cry over your long-lost inspirations,

They had the most deserving fate.

They stayed pure, genuine and true,

Just as they were within your heart.

Without being betrayed by expression

Or externalisation,

Or being reduced by dressing them in human words…

Poets, don’t cry over your long-lost inspirations,

For nothing is lost within the Samith…

And then she resumed reading randomly. I remember one ancient poem about the wind and then a couple of Munsven’s poems in a row, which were written about three and a half hundred years ago in fluent French, a language quite rare to find in oral tradition in the poet’s era. Both were inspired by the Volkic preaching.

I still remember two verses from the first one:

Dechira le voile du Temps et fit preter

L’ Oreille les siecles étonnés du Passe

They talk about the Nibelvirch and about the “cry of ecstasy and awe” and with the word “étonnés” they want to emphasise how so much had been said and “predicted” by each one of all the different religions, theories and philosophies, but none had ever imagined that human expectations could go that far, that the longing of thousands of years and the hopes and desires of every human heart would eventually be justified!

From the second one I remember these verses:

De diverses lueurs fuyantes de la même

Realité suprême
