Nikola Tesla
According to legend, Tesla was born precisely at midnight during an electrical storm, to a Serb family in the village of Smiljan near Gospić, in the Lika region of the Austrian Empire, in the Croatian part of Military Frontier, located in present-day Croatia. His baptism certificate reports that he was born on June 28 [N.S. July 10], 1856, and christened by the Serbian Orthodox priest Toma Oklobdžija. His father was Rev. Milutin Tesla, a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church Metropolitanate of Sremski Karlovci. His mother was Đuka Mandić, herself a daughter of a Serbian Orthodox Church priest. She was talented in making home craft tools. She memorized many Serbian epic poems, but never learned to read. His godfather, Jovan Drenovac, was a captain in the army protecting the Military Frontier. Tesla was one of five children, having one brother (Dane, who was killed in a horse-riding accident when Nikola was five) and three sisters (Milka, Angelina and Marica). His family moved to Gospić in 1862. Tesla went to school in Karlovac, Croatia then studied electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz, Austria (1875). While there, he studied the uses of alternating current. He attended only through the first semester of his junior year and did not graduate. He then attended the Charles-Ferdinand branch of the University of Prague for one summer term where he studied physics and higher mathematics.
Nikola Tesla as a young man Tesla engaged in reading many works, memorizing complete books. He had a photographic memory. Tesla related in his autobiography that he experienced detailed moments of inspiration. During his early life, Tesla was stricken with illness time and time again. He suffered a peculiar affliction in which blinding flashes of light would appear before his eyes, often accompanied by hallucinations. Much of the time the visions were linked to a word or idea he might come across; just by hearing the name of an item, he would involuntarily envision it in realistic detail. Modern-day synesthetes report similar symptoms. Tesla would visualize an invention in his brain in precise form before moving to the construction stage; a technique which is sometimes known as picture thinking. Tesla also often had flashbacks to events that had happened previously in his life, this began to happen during childhood. – Reference
Consideration -
Yet another mind that was above and beyond the realm of ancient. This man had a photographic memory, he could visualize his inventions in his head and make changes to them prior to building them. He created the alternating motor which changed our time till the next. I cant wait to learn more on this ancient.
Ancient Uniqueness -
Photographic memory is a really good sign that Tesla is above and beyond just a mortal human. I believe that he was in touch with ancient knowledge. He had many many patents with incredible inventions. So many of Tesla’s ideas have either been ripped off or covered up. It is said that he created a car that had an electric motor that was powered by the Earths atmosphere. It was said that the car could travel at 90 mph and ran for 7 days without any problems. The car is then said to be parked in a barn where it mysteriously disappears. hmm……. Makes you think!

Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
Like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed. I drew with a stick on the sand the diagrams of my motor. A thousand secrets of nature which I might have stumbled upon accidentally I would have given for that one which I had wrestled from her against all odds and at the peril of my existence.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries. If timely it is quickly adopted; if not, it is apt to fare like a sprout lured out of the ground by warm sunshine, only to be injured and retarded in its growth by the succeeding frost.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
But the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental acquirements and achievements of men, and as generations ensue that capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated as the average man, and then better educated, for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
The spread of civilization may be likened to a fire; First, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity. If those hopes would become fulfilled, the most exiting thought would be that it is a deed of a Serb.— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
My ear barely caught signals coming in regular succession which could not have been produced on earth…— Nikola Tesla, www.teslauniverse.com
