I came across this ebook yesterday by accident at edi blitz site in the download section. Its the autobiography of Nicolas Tesla. His own personal biography reminded me of another Russian Jew memorizer who saw colors and tasted tastes when ever memorizing things. It sounded like some freakish neurological disorder, a disorder which he could not easily forget things. Anyway, Tesla seemed to have a similiar disorder. However, one phrase caught my attention "flames of living tongues" or "tongues of living flames". which he described his own personal experiences. I started speculating. Could he be considered a mutant on a strickly biological explanations for his experiences, or could they be a description of the Holy Spirit? Now please don't jump the gun here, and give me a chance to explain. I think almost anyone can agree that we had tremendous technological advances in the last 200 years. Both Tesla and Edison has some weird experiences in connection with their inventing. Edison apparently heard voices or something even though or because he was hard of hearing. The interesting part about Tesla is that he tried to example his own personal experiences and came to some rather interesting observations and explanations. For instance, he noted that each vision was preceded by a light (maybe some affecting his optic nerve?). Is light a common experience, a common way to communicate in spiritual sense? Now I am just speculating again. But, this is not the first time I have heard this. One other shocking statement he made was that we do not have free will but are rather automatuns. This notion is similiar to the ancient notion of the sleeper who is spiritually dead. His dad was a preacher and apparently wanted Testa to become one. I believe that he did want to do this, but the inventing desire was even greater. Are these weird experiences even remotely connected with spiritual experiences, as if man was being directed in the direction of technology? Well, I found his personal psychology even more interesting than his technical experiences.

Best wishes,

Tesla is an interesting guy. Most interesting is the interplay between him and Edison - I believe at one stage Edison burnt his house down !! It was all about AC vs DC.

Well, looks like this post did not spark any curiousity concerning this guy's weird experiences. However, I will just alittle more to this story.

Apparently, Tesla was a friend of Walter Russell. I once discovered a book by him called "The Secret of Light". It looked rather technical and wondered if it was bs or not. So, I decided to buy it and sit on it for another day. He proposed that the real reality was this...static, non moving, non changing, one, forever. The secret of light was that the sun projects a light which creates the illusion of change and movement, which we call the true reality. Well, I did find the idea interesting in that God said "let there be light" and our reality was created afterwards. Why the emphasis on light in creation? Interestingly enough the intro to John states the same.

OK, I started wondering who Walter Russell was. All I knew was that he was rather rich and started this institute based on the above propositions. Beyond that I could not find much on him. Well, he apparently became rich after he discovered these new elements, discovered through lets say an illuminated insight. I believe that he also wrote a book called "cosmic consciousness" to describe the experience. How did he get it? He was struck "an act of God", lightening.

So, maybe these guys were mutants and nut-cases. However, their discoveries in this technology age causes me to wonder? For that reason, I am willing to keep an open-mind concerning their wild ideas. Technology and knowledge does seem to be increasing at quantum leaps lately. Yet, does man really know himself much better after all these centuries? Well, if all of this is the work of Satan, then we are participating by using computers and the internet. And, if what these guys seem to imply, those theories about intelligence and IQs are not adequate.

Anyway, best wishes,

St. Cheez
