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

Koralsen, Jaeger’s very close friend, had fallen behind with his work a long time ago, as Stefan informed me, because of a great love. When Jaeger had asked him whether it would have been better to have missed out on this love, he had replied that “if it was something common then maybe yes, but when it comes to something so unique and beautiful, it’s worth giving up everything to gain this wealth of soul that the memory of it leaves you with.” Koralsen was an expert in analysing and interpreting Larsen’s songs and especially a particular type of his songs.

Dalia Keetly is as famous for her gorgeous, silky hair as she is for her method of classifying the history of music.

Endless crowds lined up to participate in Felix Diemsen and Duilio Markmatt’s series of courses about the 19th century and I attended as well! I also went to hear the critic Oaken, whom we met in person a few days ago when he was giving a lecture on the great dramatist of their 9thcentury (3300 AD), Inias Valmin. Lucifero had constructed a whole series of courses as well, based on the renowned painting Nostalgic Green-eyed Lady by Nichefelt.

And there are plenty of other leading figures in all fields; study of ethics, philosophy and history, cultural criticism, philosophy of nature and science, whose names I didn’t even try to remember because I think it would be pointless and futile since I don’t even understand the subjects of their fields of study, spanning from Volkic ontology, epistemology, the new cosmological approach and other, unknown to me, spiritual sciences.

Others take on the analysis of major works of art throughout the centuries; Shakespeare, Dante, ancient dramatists like Virgil, and lyric writers of the Renaissance like Victor Hugo and Alessandro Manzoni. They also analyse books like Faust, Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, novels by Dickens—mainly Great Expectations– and Knut Hamsun’s Hunger

, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain and several more works by our writers.

It struck me, though, how small the creations of our time are, compared with the great works of their 9th century: a huge gap.

Truth be told, the ancient spirit hasn’t been washed away by either the scientific or spiritual advancement of the new era. On the contrary, I would argue that their 9th century has rather rekindled it, breathing new life into it. Just like the Volkic preaching didn’t prevent the survival of the ancient and Christian values, but rather gave them another interpretation, another depth, another meaning. Freedom, justice, honour, democracy, love, pain, homeland, ideals, struggle for eternity, thirst for knowledge…More or less the same concepts but in new, more integrated forms.

It was no coincidence that I saw the statue of The Gracchi Brothers by Feinrich, the marble sculpture Jesus Praying in Gethsemane by Levertin, and Ethics by Gutorp Nilsen, all in central Markfor, a few kilometres from each other. The latter was a work of incomparable beauty, made of synthetic ivory, a work that manages to artistically capture and portray pain as inextricably linked to mental happiness. The same goes for the masterpiece Towards the Light by the sculptor Pradelli, who is said to be a distant descendant of the poet of the 3rd century. I happened to see all four of them in the same day and in the same area; in the heart of the city.

The other thing I wanted to mention is the respect with which everyone in Markfor treats the old Rome, which still exists but occupies only one fifth of Markfor and is now a new, different city, rebuilt from scratch after the Great Destruction of their -87 (our 2309)

, which nearly wiped out all the temples of Europe, as they say. I haven’t found out any more details about it yet.

So that’s how I spend my days. Nylienborg, Almetta, Aurizio, Aarl, Rho, Legnano, Arona, Notiburg and Sesto Calente are the next on my list of destinations. And I will visit them all! I’m so happy. Actually, I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such joy...

LANGUAGE AND ART29 – XII

(At night)

Another reason why I’m so happy is because I see that my language skills are improving day by day. Back in the villas I hardly ever used the knowledge I had obtained from the language and pronunciation classes that Jaeger and Stefan had given me in the beginning. Markfor, however, is for me a field of infinite opportunities to practice conversation. You can widen the circle of your interlocutors very easily, as long as you can pass for one of them and hide deep inside you any hint of “previous life”, any thoughts on pre-existence and afterlife.
