Jeremy Alvarez5 said:I can totally see that happening.

Honestly, I think people who go overboard with the scrubbing, slathering on lotions, and drowning themselves in deodorant and cologne might actually be doing it wrong. It’s my guess that instead of attracting the opposite sex with synthetic scents, you’re better off leaning into those natural vibes. I’m not talking about smelling like sweat or anything gross, but rather pheromones—those things that are super hard to pick up on consciously. That’s probably why someone might feel this weird, unexplainable pull toward a certain person. Your brain tells you they aren't your type, but the chemistry just pulls you in anyway. The tricky part is how much of this happens deep in your subconscious.

...

Over the last five years, pheromones have actually become a pretty big deal in scientific research. It turns out these tiny particles have a massive impact on human sexuality. When you factor them in alongside testosterone, they play a huge role in sparking desire and keeping things active in long-term relationships. Even when people find someone they consider a true soulmate, they’re still constantly picking up these subtle pheromone signals from everyone else around them.


If only our dear Nikola Tesla hadn't ended up stuck in the middle of nowhere, dealing with nothing but weeds and brambles while trying to impress a chambermaid. And well, once you get far away from the city—or even further out toward Mount Olympus where there isn't a spiritual guide for miles—you're basically on your own with stuff like that.

Actually, let me walk that back a bit. According to the latest news, pheromones might not even exist; apparently, it's all just down to individual brain chemistry:

I guess I should probably start by saying that I don't really know if this is the right place to bring this up, but maybe it is? Anyway, I was just sitting here thinking about how much things have changed lately, and honestly, it’s kind of wild when you stop to actually look at it. I mean, I'm probably overthinking this—I tend to do that—but there's just something about the way everything feels so different now compared to a few years ago. It’s like we all collectively decided to change direction overnight, or maybe it just crept up on us while we weren't looking. I don't know. I was talking to Hannah Diaz the other day about something similar, and they had this interesting take on it, though I might be misremembering the details. It really makes you wonder if we're all just reacting to the same stuff or if everyone is just seeing things through their own little lens. It’s probably a bit of both, I suppose. Just a thought, really. Not trying to make a huge deal out of it, but it's been on my mind.
Hannah Diaz said:That wasn't really what I meant by "relationship"... hehehh... so you're actually siding with Grace... nice.😁

There really is no end to human stupidity... people just have this weird urge to overdo everything... which, honestly, is pretty obvious looking at your post.😉

I really can't get behind what Grace said. Honestly, it felt pretty gross when she suggested that someone here shouldn't be working a job just because they mentioned one of those imams. I guess whether her opinion is actually based on anything solid or not doesn't even matter that much—it’s more about the principle of the thing. I mean, what is the point of having a forum like this if we aren't supposed to have an actual dialogue?

I guess I’ve drifted a bit toward the more... shall we say, ribald side of things, mostly because there isn't much else intelligent to talk about right now. Honestly, some of these topics feel like they belong more in a political debate than in a discussion about spirituality, if that makes any sense. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, though.

wearyhawk83 said:I'm just calling it like I see it!

I usually go for the negative take because people tend to overstate positivity and shove all that extra "baggage" under the rug, thinking it’ll just vanish on its own. Newsflash: nothing ever just disappears. We need to be crystal clear that toxic crap isn't actually part of being a positive person. If we don't, we’re going to end up exactly like the people we see today—folks who only do good things when there's a cash prize or an emotional payoff involved. It leads to this messed-up reality where "love" somehow includes physical abuse alongside a kiss, and "happiness" becomes nothing more than a hollow substitute for money, sex, a fancy degree, some mental health struggles, and four failed marriages.

No way! Negative vibes aren't some mandatory package deal that comes bundled with the good stuff.
I honestly believe we have to call out all the nonsense and harmful lies floating around. If we’ve reached a point where we feel like we have to overcompensate by showering everyone with constant praise just so they don't notice how much things are rotting, then we are in serious trouble. Like, deep trouble. Look, there’s nothing wrong with highlighting the good stuff, but when everything else is absolute chaos, we can't spend all our time putting lipstick on a pig. We can't just close our eyes and pretend the problems aren't staring us right in the face. You have to acknowledge the issues, face them head-on, and actually fix them. Too many people are playing it safe and being cowards about it, and honestly, we're the ones enabling that cowardice by refusing to speak up!

Of course people get annoyed when I bring up the heavy stuff. It’s because they already know it's there, and talking about it stirs up all those uncomfortable feelings they've worked so hard to bury. They like to play this game where they pretend that if they just close their eyes and ignore the mess, it'll magically vanish. Newsflash: problems don't just disappear because you decided to take a nap. They’re still right there waiting for you when you wake up. Look, when it’s time to celebrate life, I am all in. I love a good party and I’m the first one to cheer. But when it feels right to call out the absolute garbage side of things? I’m gonna say it. If it feels like I’m talking about the "smell" too much, that’s not on me—it’s just a reflection of exactly where we are right now.

That’s where all the resentment and bitterness come from.

I guess the cool thing about all this is that change can happen regardless of everything mentioned here—or even things we haven't talked about yet. It isn't really about picking out specific traits and claiming they’re the sole reason someone gains wisdom or undergoes a transformation. Since we're living in an era where information travels from one side of the US to the other faster than ever before, we basically learn from every single conversation, every article, and every study out there. I think we just start making these little generalizations by weighing our own personal experiences against everything else we're absorbing.

I think I read somewhere that in Japan there was this group of monks who just locked themselves away and basically self-mummified by slowly tapering off everything they consumed. All for the sake of eternity... man, eternity really isn't worth all that hassle!

Congrats on getting that job done; honestly, maybe it’s for the best. Now I’m stuck digging through everything everyone else has posted right up until that weird tangent about underwear—and man, that part about your heart breaking? That was actually pretty inspiring. The mods were asking for you to show up, but things just got hung up on some other people's comments.

John Jones3 said:So these are supposed to be the "chosen ones"? The ones rushing into jihad?

If you look at history—specifically the Inquisition or the Crusades—that’s when you saw the most saints and spiritual leaders. I doubt Muslims will ever outdo the Christians of that era.

So, what's the deal with people today?

John Jones3 said:If you’re going to claim people should focus on themselves instead of me while simultaneously preaching about Oneness, you’re basically lying to yourself—there is no distinction between us in Oneness. We are all one, which means my experience is yours too, provided you actually open yourself up enough to learn from it. There isn't some arbitrary distance between me and anyone else here; I'm just sharing what I've lived through, though apparently, hearing someone's actual experience is an issue for you. Would it be better if we spent ten posts beating around the bush instead of just using plain English to say how things work? It really is that simple—you open the heart chakra (the third is the easiest starting point), then gradually move through the sixth, then all seven, and the path just unfolds without needing some rigid manual.

Could anyone maybe walk me through some specifics on how to open those two chakras, or even the others? Or if there's a specific book or something you'd suggest reading? There's just so much random stuff floating around online, it's hard to know what's legit...

Gregory Jackson said:If I remember right, his brother fell off a horse or got kicked or something like that. But honestly, if you want to hear the truth about Tesla straight from the man himself, you should just pick up his book My Inventions. It covers all of that—his health struggles, those early visions he had in his head, and all the crazy experimenting he did before he ever built a single model. It’s such an easy read, really, just a great, engaging writing style. You can tell when a truly enlightened person is writing...

It looks like that book is floating around online somewhere, so I might take a look at the ramblings of this stubborn, skeptical, introverted genius who lived right on the edge of human consciousness.

I also find myself wondering how much weight to give to the idea that if someone close to you shows extreme hostility, it could be based on several different things. Maybe it played a role in their downfall, or perhaps there was some deep-seated trauma or guilt involved, especially if what they said ended up being fabricated. It wouldn't be that crazy to think that some terrible life events acted as the catalyst for his personal quests, where those dark moments merged with the things that actually inspired him.

John Jones3 said:Honestly, I was probably ready for a psych ward at one point. Luckily, I kept my mouth shut and kept my experiences to myself. As for being at war with myself—it wasn't just "somehow," it was in every possible way. At first, it was an absolute disaster. I couldn't stop the imagery; I’d spend entire nights wide awake just staring at them. It was rough—things are much better now, though.

It was pure chaos at first—now, the imagery is starting to relate more closely to my own life. It's possible they were always connected to me, but back then, I couldn't see the link between the visions and my own psyche. The images show pivotal past events, things I witnessed that day, or even future occurrences. Personal willpower doesn't have much say in it; you could say that in those moments, I lose control over my thoughts and just let the current take me wherever it wants to go.

And as for what triggered it all—intensive work on opening the third eye, combined with some pretty heavy self-work regarding empathy and how I interact with the world.

The ability to form these vivid images sounds pretty cool and seems like an advantage, but the risk of losing your mind, dealing with constant headaches, and all that other stuff is a huge red flag. To me, the emphasis on "intensity" and "empathy with others" feels a bit like a recipe for instability. It's almost like his personality was fractured through conflicts with people—since, let's face it, being an enemy is way easier than being a friend—which drove him to search for an internal "compass" within his subconscious. From there, those powerful images combined with the third-eye work led to a "breakthrough," or at least that's my guess. So, the idea that you have to keep your compass steady during a spiritual journey seems like the most important part of maintaining inner "silence." It feels like many people skip over that part because they're so desperate for actual change, which is pretty obvious.

Maybe people who are even more sensitive to sound aren't strictly having hallucinations either. It might just be a state of being where their perception of sound fields is hyper-sensitive, making it highly individualized and symptomatic in its own unique way. Either way, it would be fascinating to figure out the specific mechanisms behind these shifts if we ever wanted to reverse them or steer them in a better direction.

Thanks for sharing that bit of your personal experience 👍
Nikola Tesla's evening visions in Spirituality ·
In the beginning, I used to go through these phases where I’d have visions a few nights a week. If they didn't show up, I'd end up with these nasty headaches, feeling super weak, and even getting bouts of fever. There were times I just couldn't sleep at all because of it.

John Jones3 said:Astral projection is tied directly to dreaming—you travel astrally while you sleep—so this stuff has absolutely nothing to do with those images.

At first, it’s pure obsession—you just crave more and more of those future visions. Eventually, you get used to it, and it all starts to blur together—past, present, future, none of it really matters anymore. Everything gets so tangled up that you can't even tell which experience belongs to your own subconscious and which is just some external "hallucination."

Early memories start surfacing—stuff you wouldn't normally be aware of—and since traumatic experiences tend to pop up just as often, it can get pretty uncomfortable. You’re basically left completely exposed to your own subconscious, which opens the door to all sorts of complications and reliving old traumas. The stronger the connection to a past event, the more intense the mental replays become.

I’ve noticed that the exact same trauma can be interpreted in totally different ways—even when the actual content doesn't change. It just goes to show how subjective lived experiences are, which basically kills any hope for objective observation. Honestly, someone else might actually provide a better commentary on my experiences than I can myself—everything stays limited by my current moods and flawed interpretations. All in all, these replays are great for studying one's own identity and clearing out various mental blocks—which, let's face it, are mostly things we create ourselves because we fail to experience the outside world objectively.

When you say "in the beginning," could you maybe elaborate on what actually triggered that starting point? Because once you crossed that line, missing out on the experience meant headaches, and in some cases, all sorts of complications followed... which sounds like you might have been at odds with yourself in a way. I wonder if that felt like a significant loss of control over your own will, or if it felt more like an internal conflict of goals, like you were fighting against certain expectations?

Now, I have these visions almost every night. I've gotten used to sleeping about five or six hours, and I've sort of found a rhythm with the world. I'm not really sensitive to sound, just the visuals. And honestly, they aren't hallucinations like someone else mentioned; it's more like an image forming mentally in the area of the sixth chakra, almost like a movie screen. I usually tilt my eyes down at a 30 to 40-degree angle to tighten them—I read somewhere online that this helps sync brain waves to lower frequencies—and then these images of objects or even specific events from my life start appearing.

Aside from Michael Talbot’s *Holographic Universe*, I haven't really stumbled upon any other sources that try to describe or interpret phenomena like this.

John Jones3 said:Trust me, I looked everywhere and couldn't find a single decent explanation—until I finally picked up a book on Tesla. Before that, I didn't even have a clue what we were actually talking about.

Sure, you can get a full vision of the day ahead—or at least a snippet of what’s coming—but I'm not so sure about false memories. Tesla actually used to gamble just to test how accurate his visions were—a bit of a practical experiment, I suppose. Of course, to have the kind of foresight he did, you'd need a specific genetic makeup designed for it; being the son of an Orthodox priest and a clairvoyant basically guaranteed those genes for him, though it was likely more of a burden than a gift.

Speaking of false memories—Nicholas actually had a brother, I think his name was Dan or something similar—who died when he was just a kid. During a sleepover, Nicholas was accused of pushing him down the stairs. Little Nicholas didn't recall doing it at all—just another case of false memories, or maybe just gaps in the memory?

I guess I was being a bit vague there. I think what I was getting at is that when people experience astral projections or whatever, they usually expect to see glimpses of the future first. Honestly, the idea kind of creeps me out—I feel like that path leads straight to obsession. But then again, maybe there's a positive side to it, like using those flashes for creative brainstorming or doing some mental dry run to make something happen. I guess what I wanted to ask is: do you ever wonder if those images—which are partly glimpses of the past—are actually just products of your own desires? Or maybe they're tied to old traumas? Like, could intense emotions or certain past hurts be conditioning us to focus on specific scenes, making them stick in our minds more easily than other things, whether we want them to or not? I also wondered if, when you see these past events, you notice the visions changing, expanding, or adding new details over time. Our memories, especially the ones we try to recall under hypnosis, might be partially manufactured by how our brain processed those experiences in the first place...

Speaking of false memories, I think Nikola had a brother, maybe named Dan or something similar? Apparently, his brother passed away as a child, and during the whole chaos of it, he was accused of pushing Nikola down the stairs. Little Nikola didn't even remember doing it, so maybe that's a case of false memories—or just huge gaps in memory, I guess.

That’s super interesting to think about, both from his brother's perspective and Nikola's. I mean, childhood jealousy and those sudden outbursts among siblings aren't exactly rare, right? Kids sort of condition each other in those ways...

It also helps explain this: "despite breaks in his education due to being sickly and dealing with the heavy psychological trauma caused by the death of his older brother Dan, Tesla continued his studies at the University of Graz in Austria."

Nikola was also pretty sick quite often; if I remember correctly from a lecture I heard, he was on the verge of death a few times. If he carried any sense of guilt regarding his brother's death, maybe that's why he tried so hard to leave his mark on the world in the present moment—to ensure he stayed, rather than someone else... Either way, that doesn't sound like a fact anyone would want to carry around in their head, and from a standpoint of weakened immunity and health issues, it seems like a pretty big clue.

John Jones3 said:This is tied directly to enlightenment—anyone hitting those stages or experiencing flashes of it will see images before their eyes. Early on, I was having these visions several nights a week—if they didn't show up, I’d end up with a headache, feeling weak, or running a fever. There were nights I couldn't sleep at all because of it. Now, it happens almost every night. I've settled into a rhythm of sleeping about 5 or 6 hours—it's how I sync up with the world. It isn't sound sensitivity, just visual. And let's be clear: these aren't hallucinations like someone else claimed—the images manifest mentally around the sixth chakra area, almost like a movie screen. I tilt my eyes down at a 30-40 degree angle to tension them—I read somewhere online that this helps align brain waves to lower frequencies—and that's when the images of objects or past events start appearing.

Do you happen to have a link that explains this phenomenon a bit more clearly?

From what I recall, N. Tesla had this long phase where he’d just visualize things constantly, like traveling all over or picturing specific places and whatnot...

I wonder if it's possible for things that actually happened to blend together with stuff that never really did? I stumbled upon an article recently claiming that kids experience false memories too—basically saying everyone has them and it's way more common than people realize. I guess if it's widespread, then it's technically "normal." It might explain Jung's earliest dreams, since he used them as a foundation for his mystical leanings; he used to say in his biographies that there were certain images in those early dreams that he simply couldn't have seen anywhere else. I don't think most people would love the idea that they have false memories, but it's a pretty interesting claim coming from scientific circles—treating it as a general rule rather than just some weird exception.

Gregory Jackson said:It’s not something reserved strictly for the enlightened, but for them, it seems almost like a given. By getting by on those short bursts of sleep, they end up feeling totally refreshed, which is wild compared to us folks who drag ourselves through eight hours and still feel wiped...

I just wanted to mention that this might be tied to their daily psycho-physical routine, specifically any mental or spiritual practices that influence how they sleep, how long they stay under, and the quality of that rest. It could even affect their dreams, especially if they've been lying in bed lately just "counting sheep" or dwelling on those specific visions and scenes that pop up right before drifting off. We should probably consider his whole life story here, too—like, does this dream data reflect his time spent both over in Europe and here in the States? It'd be worth looking at whether this was a constant thing throughout his entire life.

Gregory Jackson said:Hey Paul! Yeah, unfortunately, it's totally off-limits. But honestly, if you're looking for spiritual growth, you don't actually need to step foot on the mountain itself. See, the astral body is this spherical energy structure that basically represents the consciousness of an enlightened being—someone who isn't coming back to the USA anymore. So, instead of this physical body, consciousness just shifts into this indestructible form called the astral body. Kind of a clunky way to put it, I guess.

You can actually have your aura infused by the energy from those glowing bodies while riding a tour boat circling Mount Olympus, because the mobility of the astral body in that area reaches a few hundred yards out from the shore. I mean, I've only been on land once, but I've been out on the boats two or three times, and everything works great. I just take whatever I can get in the moment, you know?
It's not like these crazy, spectacular things happen all the time, but I remember one instance during a boat ride—I think it was back in 1998—where this guy, a doctor who was traveling with a group of other spiritual seekers, suddenly regained his sense of smell after losing it for fifteen years. He was so shocked and overwhelmed with gratitude that he just sat in a corner and started crying. And then, well, he spent the rest of the trip smelling every woman on the boat 🙂

I can totally see that happening.

Honestly, I think people who go overboard with the scrubbing, slathering on lotions, and drowning themselves in deodorant and cologne might actually be doing it wrong. It’s my guess that instead of attracting the opposite sex with synthetic scents, you’re better off leaning into those natural vibes.

When you factor them in alongside testosterone, they play a huge role in sparking desire and keeping things active in long-term relationships. Even when people find someone they consider a true soulmate, they’re still constantly picking up these subtle pheromone signals from everyone else around them.

Gregory Jackson said:One of those telltale signs you see in people who have reached a higher state of consciousness is that they only need about two or three hours of shut-eye.

"Yeah, I only get about two hours of sleep a day,
but whenever I do crash,
I sleep incredibly well—it's almost like an art form,
since I truly believe sleeping is an art,
kind of like mastering deep breathing...
which is something you really have to learn how to do.

It’s one of those ancient Eastern secrets...
though, if you ask me, it isn't really a secret at all.

Once I wake up, even if it was just a quick nap,....
I find I have to do some mental exercises
just to stay centered and balanced ....
with all that fresh life energy I've just taken in."....

( Nikola Tesla )

I’ve heard somewhere that older folks usually sleep less too, and that they tend to be more sensitive to noise.

Maybe it isn't just a result of spiritual enlightenment, but could it also be because they aren't doing heavy physical labor anymore—you know, trading intense workouts for long walks and mental gymnastics instead?

Some religious orders actually try to cut their sleep short on purpose; I think some nuns wake up every four hours just to pray, if I remember correctly. But honestly, trying to force yourself to sleep less sounds like a recipe for disaster. I once saw someone who looked like they were barely holding it together during the day, eyes looking totally glazed over. If this kind of sleep deprivation isn't happening naturally, I don't think forcing it is a good path toward enlightenment—it feels more like a fast track to some pretty serious health issues.

Gregory Jackson said:»Every once in a while, maybe at these really rare intervals, a massive spirit of discovery descends upon Earth to drop some kind of secret meant to push humanity forward. It picks out the most prepared, most deserving soul and whispers that truth right into their ear. This precious knowledge hits you like a sudden flash of light. Once you finally grasp the hidden meaning, the chosen one experiences this incredible shift where everything looks totally different—like a whole new world is unfolding right before their eyes. And it’s not just some fleeting illusion or a trick played by a wandering imagination that’ll just fade away. These miracles, even if they seem impossible, stay real. He knows it deep down, there's zero doubt in his mind, because he can feel it with every fiber of his being: it's the Great Idea.«

Nikola Tesla in “Beleška on Kabaneljasov patent no. 164 995”

If you ask me, Nikola Tesla is basically the ultimate example of a highly enlightened person, which is pretty rare to see in human history, I suppose. According to what Ljubiša Stojanović has found, Tesla was actually what the Indian spiritual traditions call an "avatar." You know, like these incarnations of spiritual energy sent down specifically to help move humanity along its path.

It seems like the spiritual essence of Nikola Tesla has incarnated multiple times throughout history, always showing up during these huge turning points for the human race. His first big task back then was teaching people how to handle fire. In that life, he was probably that primal ancestor who had the guts to walk up to a lightning-struck tree and bring that flame back to the cave to save his terrified kin. Then, in the next phase, he was likely the one domesticating wild animals or teaching agriculture and crop cultivation. Even before we knew him as the great scientist Nikola Tesla, he might have been a technician or engineer who gave James Watt that crucial bit of advice when he was stuck on a major problem with the steam engine. Finally, in this most recent life, born into a family of priests and living as an American citizen under the name Nikola Tesla, he came up with a ton of groundbreaking patents—though, honestly, many of them never even saw the light of day because, I guess, humanity just wasn't spiritually evolved enough to actually use them.

The spiritual entity of Nikola Tesla is actually one of the energies that has been passing down wisdom to Ljubiša Stojanović for over ten years now, through these deep meditative states where he receives messages that are super important for the future of people and the planet Earth. That’s basically how the book »conversation with Tesla« came to be. Most of these recent insights are about receiving help from space via thermal energy, wireless power transmission, and even some practical spiritual advice.


The luminous essence of Nikola Tesla is located at the power center of Mount Gora, which is like the strongest energy spot in Europe, containing 472 luminous bodies of great enlightened souls—mostly ancient Greek thinkers and scientists like Pericles, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Archimedes, and a bunch of others. There are even some smaller groups of luminous bodies dating back to before the Greeks arrived in the North America. There's also a larger group there belonging to great figures from Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria.

Hey, Gregory Jackson 👍, I was wondering... is that the same Mount Gora where humans aren't even allowed to set foot? Also, out of all those glowing spirits, do any of them whisper in a female voice, maybe telling me how to sign up for a subscription with her 😍?

Nikola Tesla - the first Übermensch? (And I don't mean in that Terminator sense 😁)

I seem to recall watching a documentary once where they linked this phenomenon to television—specifically suggesting he essentially foresaw the evolution of future media.
These internal journeys of his are quite fascinating, aren't they? It clearly seems to be an incredibly rare and privileged experience. But if we lean into the old cliché that exceptions define the rule, could Nikola Tesla be a harbinger of a new kind of human? A new spirit, perhaps, or a new level of consciousness?
Just consider how much he reshaped the world; imagine what ten people with his capabilities could achieve simultaneously in our current reality! I am referring to internal evolution—the next evolutionary leap for humanity. One could draw a rather elegant connection there to the theory of the holographic universe (which I suspect he would have found quite agreeable).

You know what the real tragedy is? If a kid like that existed today, they’d just slap an autism or ADHD label on them and drown them in a sea of medication. 😢
Just picture Nikola Tesla at ten years old, growing up in rural Wyoming.
I rest my case.

It’s honestly terrifying how much individuality and creativity get crushed these days, especially in the school system. It feels like there's this massive push toward total uniformity. Plus, you see the government and the media constantly jumping to defend scientists, and then the churches follow suit when it comes to how we communicate and learn things.

Life moves way too fast, kids are basically left to chance, and I guess you could say parents—and society as a whole—are more broken than most people care to admit.

A lot of people end up stuck in this kind of emotional nihilism because of it. And the fact that they even try to "fix" kids with pills? That's just wild... maybe that's where Tesla's distrust of doctors originally came from.
Nikola Tesla's evening visions in Spirituality ·
I guess it’s actually pretty cool to think about how we all have this built-in ability to constantly piece together a mental picture based on whatever info we're picking up. It's like our brains are basically filling in the blanks, right? They just create an image to fill those empty spaces based on what they *think* ought to be there. It makes sense when you consider that we all have a blind spot in our eyes—you know, that specific spot right where the optic nerve connects to the retina where there aren't any photoreceptors at all. You can actually test this out yourself quite easily with a little experiment, even if I can't recall the specific name of it off the top of my head. It's pretty wild how much our minds do behind the scenes without us even noticing.

So, if you want to see an actual example of how this works, check out page 163 in the chapter on holographic vision from the book *Holographic Universe*. It basically involves staring at this grid where there’s a single dot drawn, and then right next to the empty space, there’s a star. You just kind of glance back and forth between them... I guess I won't get too deep into the weeds explaining the whole thing right now. 😁I mean, I don't know, maybe someone else here has some other examples floating around? Or if you guys happen to dig up anything interesting online, let me know.

frozennomad0 said:The thing is, I’m inclined to believe this isn't really a matter of practice; we know he was an incredibly sensitive child from the very beginning, and that sensitivity only intensified over the years, reaching levels that were, at times, almost unbearable for him. So, I think we’re looking at a spontaneous, innate process that needs to be distinguished from those later, "mature" phases that were much more heavily influenced by his lifestyle and specific habits—whether we're talking about his obsession with silver cutlery or how he pushed the limits of his own mind.
Even if one considers the text somewhat hyperbolic, it doesn't diminish the fact that his sensitivity was extreme, punctuated by occasional, intense peaks.
All in all, I find this topic absolutely perfect for exploring from a spiritual perspective, and it would be wonderful if someone could provide a more detailed, comparative analysis.

Nikola Tesla belongs to that rare tier of global geniuses (someone even brought up Leonardo da Vinci earlier), and they all seem to share that peculiar factor of hypersensitivity and eccentric behavior. 🙂

🙂🙂🙂

Tesla mentioned in his own autobiography that he went through these incredibly vivid moments of pure inspiration. During his early Life , Tesla was stricken with illness time and time again. He dealt with this strange condition where blinding flashes of light would suddenly pop up in front of him, usually along with these full-on visions. Most of the time, these visions were tied to a specific word or a random idea he'd stumbled upon, but other times they actually handed him the solution to a problem he was stuck on; sometimes just hearing the name of an object would let him see it in perfect, realistic detail right in his mind. It sounds a lot like what modern-day synesthetes describe today. Tesla used to visualize an entire invention in his head with insane precision—dimensions and everything—before he even touched a tool; it's a method people sometimes call "picture thinking." He didn't usually bother with hand-drawn sketches; he just built the whole concept in his mind first. He also had these frequent flashbacks to things from his past, which apparently started way back when he was a kid.

...

Tesla explains: “In my boyhood I suffered from a peculiar affliction due to the appearance of images, often accompanied by strong flashes of light, which marred the sight of real objects and interfered with my thought and action.” He’s making it pretty clear that even though these projections were intense, they weren't hallucinations. “They were pictures of things and scenes which I had really seen, never of those I had imagined. When a word was spoken to me the image of the object it designated would present itself vividly to my vision and sometimes I was quite unable to distinguish whether what I saw was tangible or not. This caused me great discomfort and anxiety. . . . These certainly were not hallucinations . . . for in other respects I was normal and composed.”

Are you all familiar with what happened during his "breakdown" in Chicago?

"He could hear the ticking of a wristwatch located three (😍) rooms away from his own. The soft landing of a fly on a table would create a deaf-ening roar in his ears. A carriage passing by several kilometers away would shake his entire body. Even the whistle of a locomotive thirty (😍) kilometers off would cause his chair to vibrate so violently that the pain became unbearable. It felt as though the very Earth beneath his feet was constantly trembling. To get any semblance of rest, he actually had to place rubber pads under the legs of his bed.(...) During this period, his pulse would spike erratically, jumping from barely perceptible to 260 beats per minute."

-"In the darkness, I possessed the senses of a bat; with a terrifying sensation in my forehead, I could sense the presence of an object at a distance of 3 (😍) and a half meters."

What is your take on this from a spiritual perspective? Extrasensory perception, perhaps?

I guess I’d say those kinds of perceptions are something you sort of "work up" through practice—basically, when a person starts paying way less attention to the material world and focuses more on other types of stimuli.

It’s actually pretty interesting how people born with certain primary developmental delays often seem to be born with a more significant impairment in one of their physical senses.
