Why is 369 the Key to the Universe?

Nikola Tesla was the inventor of modern electrical distribution as well as wireless communication and remote control. Combined, these inventions make the foundations of the modern world.

The internet is filled with articles on numerology and the “secret code” to Tesla's genius method. These topics are popular, but do not relate to anything actually said by the inventor.

We have transcripts of his speeches and lectures. He was interviewed frequently by American magazines and newspapers for decades, and today we have access to many of his handwritten letters. Combined, these all account for a large body of Tesla’s recorded thoughts. Many of the things he is documented to have said contradict the internet version of Nikola Tesla.

tesla on religion

In the same document, Tesla says “For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.”

Notice the above quote is written in the present tense, and it is not “When I CLOSED my eyes” but rather “When I CLOSE my eyes.” If Tesla’s condition is ever acknowledge at all, it is usually said to be a small problem only in his childhood, but a multitude of his quotes tell us he suffered from this condition well into his old age. Highlighting this aspect of Tesla’s personal life is the inspiration behind Tesla’s Words by Ellis Oswalt.

“None of the students of psychology or physiology whom I have consulted could ever explain satisfactorily these phenomena.”

"A startling peek into the mind of a true genius."
—Kirkus Reviews

5/5 stars
"TESLA’S WORDS is a short book… yet readers will learn as much about Tesla from this as they might from a scholarly 600-page biography."
