Chronicles From The Future

The amazing story of Paul Amadeus Dienach

By: Paul Amadeus Dienach, Achilleas Sirigos

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What you are about to read was never meant to be read by anyone.

These pages contain the private diary of Paul Amadeus Dienach, a Swiss-Austrian teacher who claimed that, during a year-long coma in the early 1920s, his consciousness experienced life nearly two thousand years in the future.

Upon awakening, Dienach told no one of his experience, fearing ridicule and disbelief. He wrote only to remember. His diary preserves extraordinary details of humanity’s long arc: global collapse and rebirth, the end of nations, radically new forms of governance, the rise of a unified world society, humanity’s expansion beyond Earth, and a profound transformation in human consciousness and values.

Written in isolation, the manuscript was entrusted shortly before Dienach’s death to one of his students, George Papachatzis, who would later become a respected academic. It circulated privately for decades before its controversial release, sparking debate, fascination, and unease. Is it speculative fiction? A philosophical vision? A disturbing glimpse of what lies ahead?

The diary provides no clear explanation for Dienach’s experience. Chronicles From the Future does not ask to be believed - only to be read. Existing somewhere between psychology, metaphysics, and testimony, it provokes readers to reflect on the deeper forces shaping human evolution.

This is not a prophecy.
It is an invitation to reconsider the future we are creating.

Don’t skip this gem, spiritual, poetic, fascinating

Let me share the controversy upfront, the records of the author Dienach is unverifiable. The criticism in this manner makes one a skeptic for this work. Cool, step through the door anyways and listen to the narrative and ponder on what resonates as wisdom/valid. At worst, is a utopian future vision. Yet if we read Aesop’s Fables do we toss the moral lesson because the characters are animals? I suggest the same here where even if you cannot agree to the validity of the experience, you don’t discard the lessons. I have read Seth material so it is not far out for me to consider alternative realities and far from me to explain how the universe works in the most extreme ways. In this book is fascinating sentiment of what life could be like in a spiritually evolved society. Many explanations are philosophical points to ponder, perhaps open your mind and faith to these ideals shared in the story. If nothing else, this book could be dissect philosophically with great interest. Also in this is a great love story for the romantic. If it is fiction then put it next to Jules Verne and HG Wells, but if it IS true, then reality is more than you can imagine. I will keep this on my top 25.

Is it a fun read (listen)? For sure

Virtual voice did not ruin the experience for me. Pretty neutral.

I was about 75% into the book and very fascinated when I did further research.

I found it harder to maintain my interest once I learned more about this book and the possibility of it being a science fiction at best as it was majorly the aspect of it being a true account of what seemed like a glance at the distant future the reason why I kept going. I obviously wanted to learn more about the world I won’t be experiencing.

Tagging this as non-fiction and based on real diary entries feels like a fraud. The whole charm of this book is carried by the fact that it's real (well, it is marketed a such). Beyond that it's just a-OK for storytelling and can be hard to follow at times. It does not evoke challenging thoughts against the current status quo as the premise for its ideas is just this promise of a utopian “new world” which is not a solid ground to begin with. That’s not the reason why this got 3 stars though.

I’m glad it did not focus solely on the world around and involved how the narrator was feeling all throughout which made it feel more ‘authentic’ (in the sense that these are supposed to be diary entries). [SPOILER ALERT] I always find myself looking forward to the mentions of the encounters of Silvia and Andreas, and it turning out to be a parallel of the romance of Paul and Anna - two souls in love two millennia ago? In urban terms I call this SICK. Whether this is fiction or not, it stuck to my mind.
