Nikola Tesla gave a rare interview to a journalist named John Smith in 1899, and the ideas expressed by Tesla were so revolutionary that the interview was covered up and hidden for over 100 years, despite the enormous public interest in listening make Tesla talk.
During the extraordinary long-range interview, the enigmatic scientist and inventor explained how “everything is light” and that the rays of the sun can unleash their visions for the future of humanity.
It was widely believed that Tesla had invented ways to provide the entire world with a free and unlimited source of energy, but his inventions were hidden by corporations due to greed and the profits made from the burning of c fossil fuels by the power.
— Interview —
Reporter: Mr. Tesla, you have earned the glory of the man who was involved in cosmic processes. Who are you, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: It’s a fair question, Mr. Smith, and I’ll try to give you the right answer.
Journalist: Some say you are from the country of Croatia, the area called Lika, where together with people grow trees, rocks and starry sky. They say that your hometown is named after the mountain flowers and that the house where you were born is next to the forest and the church.
Tesla: Actually, everything is true. I am proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian homeland.
Journalist: Futurists say the 20th and 21st century was born in Nikola Tesla’s head. The father of alternating current will make Physics and Chemistry dominate half the world. Industry will proclaim him as their supreme saint, a banker of the greatest benefactors. In Nikola Tesla’s lab for the first time is a broken atom.
Tesla: Yes, these are some of my most important discoveries. I’m a defeated man. Haven’t done my best.
Reporter: What’s up, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: I wanted to light up the whole earth. There’s enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, like a ring around Saturn.
Life has an infinite number of forms, and the duty of scientists is to find them in all forms of matter. Three things are essential in this. All I do is look for them. I know I won’t find them, but I won’t abandon them.
Journalist: What are these things?
Tesla: food is a problem. What stellar or terrestrial energy to feed the hungry on Earth? With what did he come to give to all thirsty so that he may cheer in his heart and understand that they are gods?
I know gravity is prone to everything you need to fly and my intention is not to make flying devices (planes or missiles), but to teach an individual to regain knowledge on his own wings… Also; I’m trying to awaken the energy contained in the air. There are the main sources of energy. What is considered empty space is just a manifestation of matter that does not awaken.
There is no empty space on this planet, nor in the Universe. In the black holes, what astronomers talk about, are the most powerful sources of energy and life.
Journalist: In the window of his room in the hotel “Valdorf-Astoria”, on the thirty-three floor, every morning the birds arrive.
Tesla: A man must be sentimental about birds. This is because of their wings. Humans had them once, the real and visible!
Reporter: Hasn’t stopped flying since those distant days at Smiljan!
Tesla: I wanted to fly off the roof and I fell: the kids calculations could be wrong. Remember, Youth Wings have everything in life!
Journalist: Your fans complain that you attack relativity. What’s strange is your statement that the matter has no energy. Everything is full of energy, where is it?
Tesla: First was energy, then matter.
Journalist: A question that could be asked at the beginning of this conversation. What was the electricity to you, dear Mr Tesla?
Tesla: Everything is Electricity. First it was the light and endless source from which the material points out and distributes it in all forms that represent the Universe and the Earth in all its aspects of life. The black is the true face of the Light, we just don’t see this. It’s a remarkable grace to man and other creatures. One of its particles posses light, thermal, nuclear, radiation, chemistry, mechanical and unidentified energy.
It has the power to travel the Earth with its orbit. It’s a real Archimedes lever.
Reporter: Mr. Tesla, you are too biased towards electricity.
Tesla: electricity is me. Or, if you will, I am electricity in human form. You are Electricity; also Mr Smith, but you don’t realize it.
Journalist: Is this your ability to allow electricity failure of a million volts through your body
Tesla: Imagine a gardener being attacked by herbs. This would actually be crazy. The man’s body and brain are made of a great amount of energy; in me, there is the majority of electricity. The energy that is different in everyone is what makes the human being the “me” or the “soul”. For other creatures in its essence, the plant’s “soul” is the “soul” of minerals and animals.
Brain function and death manifest in the light. My eyes in youth were black now blue, and as time goes by and brain tension gets stronger, they are closer to white. White is the color of the sky. Through my window one morning, a white dove landed, which I fed. She meant to tell me she was dying. Out of his eyes, the slopes of light were coming out. I have never seen so much light in the eyes of any creature, as in that dove.
Reporter: His lab staff talks about flashes of light, flames and lightning that occur when he’s angry or at risk.
Tesla: Is it a psychic download or a warning to be alert. The light was always on my side. Do you know how I discovered the rotating magnetic field and the induction engine, which made me famous when I was twenty-six? A summer night in Budapest, watched with my friend Sigetijem at sunset.
Thousands of fires rotated in thousands of flaming colors. I remembered Faust and recited his verses and then, like in a fog, I saw a rotating magnetic field and an induction engine. I saw them in the sun!
Journalist: Hotel service says at the moment of lightning they isolated themselves in the room and speak to themselves.
Tesla: I talk to lightning and thunder.
Journalist: With them? What language, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: mostly my mother tongue. It has the words and sounds, especially in poetry, which is appropriate for it.
Journalist: The readers of our magazine would be very grateful if they interpret it.
Journalist: Is imagination more real to you than life itself?
Tesla: Give birth to life. I fed myself from my teaching; I learned to control emotions, dreams and visions. I have always wanted, as I nourished my enthusiasm. I spent my whole long life in ecstasy. That was the source of my happiness. He helped me through all these years endure work, which was enough for five lifetimes. It’s best to work at night, because of starlight and close bond.
Journalist: Do you think that time can be abolished?
Tesla: Not at all, because the first feature of energy is that it transforms. It’s in a perpetual transformation, like clouds of Taoists. But it is possible to profit from the fact that a man retains consciousness after earthly life. In every corner of the universe lies the energy of life; one of them is immortality, whose origin is outside of man, waiting for it.
The universe is spiritual; we are halfway there. The Universe is more moral than us because we do not know its nature and how to harmonize our lives with it. I am not a scientist, science is perhaps the most convenient way to find the answer to the question that always haunts me, and that my days and nights turned into fire.
Reporter: But, Mr. Tesla, do realize that this is necessary and included in the constitution of the world!
Tesla: When a man becomes shocked; that his highest goal should be to run towards a shooting star and try to capture it; he will understand that his life was given to him because of this and he will be saved. The stars will finally be able to catch!
Reporter: And what will happen then?
Tesla: The creator will laugh and say, “It only falls if you chase it and catch it.”
Journalist: Isn’t all this contrary to the cosmic pain, which you so often mention in your writings? And what is cosmic pain?
Tesla: No, because we’re on Earth… It’s a disease whose existence most people don’t know. The entire Universe is in certain periods fed up of itself and of ourselves. The disappearance of a star and the appearance of kites affect us more than we can imagine. The relationships between creatures on Earth are even stronger, because of our feelings and thoughts, the flower will have an even more beautiful aroma or remain silent.
These truths we must learn to be healed. The cure is in our hearts and uniformly, in the hearts of the animals we call the Universe.
