Nikola Tesla

With Nikola Tesla, we encounter the starry constellation of Cancer, the house of the Great Mother herself. One of the twelve great Divinities 1  2  3 Cancer, often depicted as a crab, is ruled by the Cosmic Moon Mother, the feminine creator. Cancer comes forth as a fountain of immense meaning, the meeting place of heaven and earth. It gifts individuals with two valuable qualities: receptivity and memory. 

In Platonic philosophy, this constellation is considered to be the “Gate of Men,” through which spirits descend from heaven into human bodies. Nikola Tesla embodied many of the traits of a Cancerian. Like the central star of his stellar records, Tesla was attuned to the energy of the universe; he was a transceiver whose sense-organs were sensitive to subtle influences of the external world 4.

All lunar people are taught by their silvery Moon mother how to exist in the natural world. Tesla, as the Moon ruled person, was wrapped in poetically vivid imagination. He inherently knew that if he allows enough silence to find something, the ‘muse’ will have the chance to express itself in his consciousness.  

Naturally, Moon people seek retreat and solitude as their lunar imagination needs space to give in to that part of themselves that is wild and natural and to dance back into remembrance of how to be.

“as I stroked Mačak’s back, it became a sheet of light and my hand produced a shower of sparks. My father remarked, this is nothing but electricity, the same thing you see on the trees in a storm. My mother seemed alarmed. Stop playing with the cat, she said, he might start a fire. I was thinking abstractly. Is nature a big cat? If so, who strokes its back? It can only be God, I concluded. I cannot exaggerate the effect of this marvellous sight on my childish imagination.”

“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe, there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration”

“My mother descended from one of the oldest families in the country and a line of inventors. Both her father and grandfather 10 11 originated numerous implements for household, agricultural and other uses.”

"This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first, my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before - that of doing as I willed."

“Twenty-five years later, when I met Mr Samuel Clemens we formed a friendship between us, and I told him of the experience and was amazed to see that great man of laugher bursts into tears.”

As an environmentalist, he honoured and respected Mother Nature as the great goddess she truly is. He was an individual ahead of his time, who belonged to a world where humankind thinks, feels and acts on a higher, more enlightened level.

"We must be sentimental towards the birds, this is because of their wings, human had them once, the real and visible!"

“I can never forget the first sensations I experienced when it dawned upon me that I had observed something possibly of incalculable consequences to mankind. I felt as though I were present at the birth of a new knowledge or the revelation of a great truth. The changes I noted were taking place periodically and with such a clear suggestion of number and order that they were not traceable to any cause known to me. I was familiar, of course, with such electrical disturbances as are produced by the sun, Aurora Borealis, and earth currents, and I was as sure as I could be of any fact that these variations were due to none of these causes. The nature of my experiments precluded the possibility of the changes being produced by atmospheric disturbances, as has been rashly asserted by some. It was some time afterward when the thought flashed upon my mind that the disturbances, I had observed might be due to an intelligent control. Although I could not at the time decipher their meaning, it was impossible for me to think of them as having been entirely accidental. The feeling is constantly growing one that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.”

“I think that nothing can be more important than interplanetary communication 19. It will certainly come someday, and the certitude that there are other human beings in the universe, working, suffering, struggling, like ourselves, will produce a magic effect on mankind and will form the foundation of a universal brotherhood that will last as long as humanity itself. 20 ”
