This was perhaps Nikola Tesla's most <strong>fantastic</strong> invention, a device for photographing thought. Tesla once said in 1933, when 78 years old, "I expect to photograph thoughts... In 1893, while engaged in certain investigations, I became convinced that a definite image formed in thought, must by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on <strong>the</strong> retina, which might be read by a suitable apparatus. This brought me to my system <strong>of</strong> television which I announced at that time... My idea was to employ an artificial retina receiving an object <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> image seen, an optic nerve and ano<strong>the</strong>r retina at <strong>the</strong> place <strong>of</strong> reproduction... both being fashioned somewhat like a checkerboard, with <strong>the</strong> optic nerve being a part <strong>of</strong> earth." Tesla made his transition before revealing too many details <strong>of</strong> his invention. The above were taken from a newspaper interview that was released to wire services on September 10, 1933.
Tesla's "Thought Photography" Machine This was perhaps Nikola Tesla's most <strong>fantastic</strong> invention, a device for photographing thought Tesla once said in 1933, when 78 years old, "I expect to photograph thoughts... In 1893, while engaged in certain investigations, became convinced that a definite image formed in thought, must by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on <strong>the</strong> retina, which might be read by a suitable apparatus. This brought me to my system <strong>of</strong> television which announced at that time... My idea was to employ an artificial retina receiving an object <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> image seen, an optic nerve and ano<strong>the</strong>r retina at <strong>the</strong> place o reproduction... both being fashioned somewhat like a checkerboard, with <strong>the</strong> optic nerve being a part <strong>of</strong> earth. "Tesla made his transition before revealing to many details <strong>of</strong> his invention. The above were taken from a newspaper interview that was released to wire services on September 10, 1933. Anti-Gravity & <strong>the</strong> Wall <strong>of</strong> Light When matter is considered to be linked by electromagnetic wave propagations from <strong>the</strong> sun, manifesting as sunlight, <strong>the</strong>n a literal Wall <strong>of</strong> Light can be created, and through this wall, all manifestations <strong>of</strong> time, space, gravity and matter can be manipulated. The mystical Wall <strong>of</strong> Light, used frequently in Tesla references, and is <strong>the</strong> tide <strong>of</strong> a book about Tesla, is allegorical to columns <strong>of</strong> light in <strong>the</strong> sky, and to <strong>the</strong> manipulation <strong>of</strong> energy and matter. Tesla was unquestionably a visionary and a mystic. Anti-gravity airships were typically depicted in illustrations <strong>of</strong> his interviews and advanced predictions. He <strong>of</strong>ten spoke <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coming world in which anti-gravity aircraft will carry cargo across <strong>the</strong> continent, drawing power from centrally located power stations along <strong>the</strong> earth grid. Tesla has been credited with several space drives, though plans that have been published are dubious. In his mind he had no doubt created an electro-gravitic craft that would draw power from his Wardenclyffe Tower plant. Could such a craft have ever been built in secret? Tesla certainly had <strong>the</strong> plans for such a craft in his head—all he needed was a wealthy financier. Perhaps a Jules Verne-type character like Captain Nemo. It is interesting to note here that Tesla's electric submarine could also be <strong>the</strong> proto-design for <strong>the</strong> airship, as <strong>the</strong>se cigar-shaped craft can allegedly go underwater, and act as submarines, as well as airships. Teleportation and Time Travel Devices Tesla's Death Ray, a kind <strong>of</strong> radio-wave-scalar weapon or ultra-sound gun, was <strong>the</strong> stepping stone to more important <strong>inventions</strong>, like teleportation and Time Travel devices. H.G. Wells had already popularized <strong>the</strong> idea, but Tesla may have actually experimented with such devices. With such popular time-travel tales as The Philadelphia Experiment and The Montauk Project, it would only seem natural that secret government research on time-travel and teleportation would owe something to <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> Nikola Tesla. If Tesla was truly <strong>the</strong> genius that some believe he was, he could have made his own time-machine and gone into <strong>the</strong> future, or maybe teleport himself to Mars. Perhaps he built a flying saucer and flew away, after cleverly faking his death. Tesla was like an odd-ball hero from <strong>the</strong> past. A literal Man Out <strong>of</strong> Time. He had visions <strong>of</strong> his <strong>inventions</strong>, even as a teenager. Tesla and Atlantis According to <strong>the</strong> Unarius Academy <strong>of</strong> San Diego, California, Nikola Tesla was <strong>the</strong> reincarnation <strong>of</strong> an Adantean engineer and inventor who was responsible for <strong>the</strong> energy supply first used to power on a now destroyed island in <strong>the</strong> Atlantic. According to Unarius, from <strong>the</strong> great central pyramid in Atlantis, power beams would be relayed from reflectors on mountaintops into <strong>the</strong> Afferent homes where <strong>the</strong>se power beams would be converted into light, heat 0r even to cool <strong>the</strong> house. According to Unarius, a round glass globe or sphere about afoot in diameter was filled with certain rare gases that would fluoresce and give <strong>of</strong>f a s<strong>of</strong>t white light, just as does a modern fluorescent light. Heating or cooling was also quite simple: Air being made up <strong>of</strong> molecules <strong>of</strong> gases, each molecule composed <strong>of</strong> a
