Beautiful People & Wonderful Events

Through years of practice, I have gradually come to realize that Master is not only a great spiritual leader, but also a great teacher of science. Since Master mentioned the scientist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)1 several times, I started to collect material about him. I have found that he made many discoveries and invented such things as the alternating current (AC) generator, the polyphase system, the alternating current motor, radio communications, a remote controlled submarine, a wireless light bulb, wireless power transmission, the terrestrial resonance at 8HZ, an engine without pistons or leaf-shaped blades, alternative energy sources, et cetera. It surprised me that many physics and engineering professors either do not know of him or do not recognize those ideas of his that are worth further research. Master, however, knows.

Tesla, like his elder brother, who died at an early age, experienced Light ever since he was a child. He could see strong flashes of Light and images in front of his eyes. Certainly, this was not his imagination. If someone said a word to him, the object that the word represented would appear vividly in front of him. Sometimes he couldn't tell if there was an actual object there. The image would still be there even if he stretched out his arms.2

Tesla started his spiritual journey when he was young. He experienced worlds beyond the comprehension of people in this world. He saw new places, cities and countries. These images were very vivid in his mind. He imagined himself living in a country that he had never seen and made good friends with the local people, who were very friendly to him and looked very real.3 Occurrences like this happened until he was seventeen. After that, he concentrated all his thoughts on inventing.

He was delighted to find that he had an amazing ability to imagine things. He needed no models or experiments, yet he could imagine them vividly in his mind. For example, before he invented the alternating current motor, he felt the existence of such a thing, although he could not yet comprehend it. While he was reciting poems with his friends in a park one day, he suddenly felt the image of the entire construction of the motor. He then drew a blueprint of the structure of the motor on the ground with a stick. This supports what Master has said: "There are many things we have learned before." Maybe Tesla had seen such things when he was in a higher world. Subsequently, when he came to this world and could not find them, he used his knowledge and the scientific knowledge obtained from his research to create them.

When Tesla faced dangerous or unfavorable situations, or when he was jubilant, he often saw unexplainable flashes of Light. Sometimes he saw flames burst out in the air around him. The lights became stronger and stronger every year and peaked when he was twenty-five years old. He described the following when he was sixty: "These luminous phenomena still manifest themselves from time to time, as when a new idea opening up possibilities strikes me. But they are no longer exciting, being of relatively low intensity. When I close my eyes, I invariably observe first, a background of very dark and uniform blue, not unlike the sky on a clear but starless night. In a few seconds this field becomes animated with innumerable scintillating flakes of green, arranged in several layers and advancing towards me. Then there appears, to the right, a beautiful pattern of two systems of parallel and closely spaced lines, at right angles to one another, in all sorts of colors with yellow-green and gold predominating. Immediately thereafter the lines grow brighter and the whole is thickly sprinkled with dots of twinkling light. This picture moves slowly across the field of vision and in about ten seconds vanishes to the left, leaving behind a ground of rather unpleasant and inert grey which quickly gives way to a billowy sea of clouds, seemingly trying to mould themselves in living shapes. It is curious that I cannot project a form into this grey until the second phase is reached. Every-time, before falling asleep, images of persons or objects flit before my view. When I see them I know that I am about to lose consciousness. If they are absent and refuse to come, it means a sleepless night."

Tesla was eager to search for more convenient, more attractive science and technologies without concern for whether the new discoveries would impact upon the profits resulting from previous discoveries. For example the alternating current used now was hindered by adherents of the direct-current system. At the time when the obstacles were cleared, the alternating current equipment and power lines were all set up and investors started to make profits from them, Tesla began publishing his views on how to transmit power without wires to every corner of the world in order to benefit more people. Regardless of the feasibility of such theories, his spirit was rare and valuable. When he designed a light bulb, he would not accept a small defect, which was intended to let the bulb burn out after a certain amount of usage so that the manufacturer could continue to sell bulbs to make more profits. Similarly, the engine he designed was also environmentally friendly and durable.

Tesla also believed deeply in the existence of extraterrestrial (especially Martian) life forms. He hoped that he could communicate with them, and even transmit power between planets. In 1889, aiming to realize his goal of a worldwide communication network and power transmission, Tesla set up a laboratory at Colorado Springs, Colorado to research and develop a magnifying transmitter, the machine needed for his plan. His intention was to use the machine to power the Earth and create an extra-low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic stationary wave between the Earth and the ionosphere, in order to transmit power. The machine could also be used to create and guide high frequency current to the atmosphere to artificially create auroras to light up whole city without street lights, et cetera.

After spending eight months studying and some time on preparation, Tesla and others built an experimental tower at Long Island, New York and installed the magnifying transmitter on the tower. Unfortunately, because his radio patent was stolen and investors lost confidence, et cetera, they could not get enough capital to finish their plan.

Finally they had to dismantle the tower and sell it in order to pay off their debts. Tesla announced many of his creative scientific ideas. However, unless the research was finished, he wouldn't announce the details.

In addition, he had his unique way of thinking imaginatively. Consequently, the new energy sources and other creative ideas he discovered in his later years could not be understood easily by just studying the relevant documents or his 1889 experimental diary, which is still in existence.

There are two kinds of researchers nowadays who study Tesla's findings. The first concept, released by Corum Associate in 1984, uses electromagnetic transmission line theory to explain the operational principles of the magnifying transmitter. In 1994, Richard Hull and his partner published a book4 according to their experience of re-creating and operating the magnifying transmitter to explain Tesla's experimental diary and to verify Corum's theory. From their study, we know that if the machine were big enough, it could create an effect similar to lightning, and it also could be used to transmit high voltage power efficiently. But regarding powering the Earth electromagnetically without affecting its environment, there is still no satisfactory conclusion.

The second kind of researcher thinks that modern scientific theories have shortcomings, and consequently, we ignore and cannot explain the cosmic energy distributed around us. Actually such energy is inexhaustible. If only we could get the right combination of necessary components, closely related to cosmic power, and make their electrical or mechanical frequency the same as, or in proportion to that of cosmic energy, we could induce a resonance to obtain cosmic energy. But because of the hindrance of the so-called "underground government" relevant equipment cannot be distributed and quantitative theoretical studies cannot be conducted widely.5 In any event, in the future, the use of new energy will support Master's foresight in 1992: "...... In the higher worlds they don't need oil like we do. ..... They use different kinds of energy, not necessarily the sun's energy. We have other kinds of energy which are in the atmosphere. I think some scientists have begun to find out, but have not put it to use. ....."6
