"TESLA or the Adaptation of an Angel" "Nikola Tesla MIODRAG KRSTOVIC" "John Smith - journalist BORIS KOMNENIC" "Djuka" " Tesla`s mother JADRANKA NANIC" "Tesla as a boy LUKA ALEKSANDRIC" "Costumes designer ALEKSANDRA ALEKSANDRIC" "Set designer MIODRAG NIKOLIC" "Music by PETAR ANTONOVIC" "Editor Jelena Djokic" "Director of photography VESELKO KRCMAR" "Directed by SLOBODAN Z. JOVANOVIC" "Mr. Smith, one of a final remark about Mr. Tesla." "When you enter his laboratory you'll have before you a genius that speaks most of the world languages versed in the literature and the achievements of most nations." "If he doesn't answer to your knocking, go right in." "His Serbian people have the curious habit of leaving their doors unlocked." "Yours truly, Emily Dickinson." "Mr. Tesla you have the reputation of a man that tempers with cosmic processes." "Recently you've scared the light out of good people by stating that you could split the Earth with vibrations like an apple." "Here in Colorado Springs, you have created lighting." "No man has done it before!" "Thousands of bolts cut across the sky striking mountain peaks." "The ground shakes, animals run mad with fear!" "Thank you for meeting me here in the safety of your lab." "Far away from such horrors!" "My apologies." "I am John Smith." "Pardon..." "I am a reporter of the Immortality magazine." "My editor is Miss Emily Dickinson and the director is Mr. Walt Whitman." "I greatly appreciate Miss Dickinson's verses." "And my views are close to those Mr. Whitman has." "I read your magazine regularly." "To make this interview simpler, we'll abolish time and space." "A miracle right from the start?" "Who are you, Mr. Tesla?" "Good question, Mr. Smith!" "I'll try to give you a fair answer." "You come form Croatia and you're an Orthodox Serb from a region called Lika." "Where rocks and starry skies grow alongside people." "I've heard your village was named after a mountain flower and the house you were born in is next to a church and a forest." "That is true." "Your mother ran the family." "She had hands of gold." "She could tell the weather by flight of the birds and could find a hidden spring by the grass around it." "Before a storm she used to pick lightning needles to find off disaster and fire." "She was sixty when she could tie three eyelashes just for fun!" "Isn't that wonderful!" "People like you always have wondrous parents." "A poet wrote about a space ship that landed in your village and granted an orthodox priest and his wife a boy." "They named him Nikola." "Poets gave better interpretations of the world than others." "Just before this happened, a meteorite appeared over Lika." "A beacon for the spaceship!" "My father described it as a gleaming celestial body." "If one child was thus born, aren't all other children of celestial descent?" "Space was the cradle of the first people." "Then it bore only those that could do something for mankind." "Who are those children?" "Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, that fellow Amadeus." "Of course, there are others." "A poet, a scientist and painter, a composer." "Just different manifestations of the same spirit." "Did they come to earth in a same ship?" "Some were pushed down here, but don't worry about them." "They'd land on their feet like cats even if you were to throw them off the Waldorf Astoria Hotel." "As we watched lightning and listened to thunder, you said it's like in the "Ray of the Microcosm"" "written by your fellow Serb Njegos, a priest and poet." ""When Lucifer leads an army of millions to the sky..."" "Everyone was in love with Lucifer." "The one that flew on wings of reason didn't resist him either." "Was he from the cosmic cradle too?" " He was." "I hear my Serbs lamenting." "But what else to they need?" "They have bishop Njegos and myself." "The sublime in this life." "Poetry and science!" "Who are the Serbs, actually?" "A tribe of mediators among nations." "Trading in sun energy." "Goods are now going poorly, so they worried." "Let's go beck to your life." "You studied in Graz and Prague." "You worked in Budapest and Paris." "Than you went to America." " Yes." "On this planet some zones yield negative spiritual energy." "Others do not." "America is where positive energy springs." "Sometimes at the night I can see Mayan and Aztec troops marching of this country roads of this country." "Rushing to cities with gates of the Sun and the Moon." "Those that live here now, breathe the air they breathed, drink the water they drank and eat the fruit they ate." "The same stars shine above them!" "This crossing will make a new race." "The future of the human race will take shape in America." "As well as its passing downfall." "Then a golden period will follow." "But it will be a transient one tool" "Please explain, Mr. Tesla." "Leave the explanation to your readers." "Let's rather continue our talk." "I've heard you made thousands of inventions." "It's possible." "I've forgotten their number." "Some futurists say that the 20th and 21st century were born in Tesla's mind." "They praise your rotating magnetic field and glorify your induction motor." "They say you netted the light from the depth of the earth." "They say you are a warrior that captured the fire from the sky!" "The creator of alternating current will make physics and chemistry rule half the world." "Industry will make him the supreme saint and the bankers shall celebrate him as the greatest benefactor!" "Rocket arms and skyships are his creations." "He made the gods of war happy with many inventions, helping them fill every day on this planet with blood and death." "The atom was first shattered in Tesla`s laboratory." "It's where the vibrating weapon creating earthquakes was made." "The black cosmic ray was discovered there." "Five races will pray in the temple of future, for he has given them the secret of filling Empedocles` elements with life forces from the ether." "You must be secretly writing modern verses!" "Yes, those are some of my major inventions." "Still I have failed." "I have not realised the greatest invention." "And what would that be?" "To illuminate the Earth." "It harbours enough electricity to become a second Sun." "The light would shine around the equator like Saturn's rings!" "What joy it would be to rise above the Earth and see all that." "I wanted to crate the polar light in different parts of the planet." "It is possible!" "Why should only those living near the Arctic have it?" "It should be done for aesthetic reasons, if none other." "I've designed gigantic astronomic mirrors to reflect stars or the dark side of the Moon on our skies." "Or a falling star that'll come in a hundred years." "Such a cosmic fair would attract..." "Saint and angels!" "Yes..." "Most of my inventions are intended for the good of Man." "I have made windmills running on sunlight and milling part of its heat and light." "Such solar flour could be kept for the dark and cold months." "I've made a machine mastering the frightful force of the wind and turning it into walls strong as steel." "Or into a weapon that leaves only destruction behind." "It can generate storms over entire countries and control clouds, rain and snow." "I've found a way to bring water from the oceans with electricity and turn deserts into green and fertile fields." "I've designed a device that will evolve into a race of mechanical men." "In peacetime they could serve normal people, and fight instead of them in times of war." "You see, there's a memory energy that preserves what three epochs represent." "I've captured its particles and I shall tape the argument of the gods on Mt." "Olympus." "Or the Battle of Kosovo in 1389." "The arrival of gen." "Lafayette in America or some other event!" "In the universe there's no difference between what exist and what has been invented." "The deed and the thought are equally real!" "How is it that all human efforts for greatness of good are often started, but left unfinished, whilst evil and harmful plans are easily completed?" "Because the human race isn't ready for good and greatness." "In Colorado Springs I've filled the land with electricity, and we can equally fill it with other energies." "Such as positive mental energies." "They are found in Mozart's or Bach's music, or in the verses of some great poet." "Inside Earth there's energy of peace, love and joy." "Flowers and the food we get from it are an example." "All that makes Earth our homeland!" "I've sought ways those energies might affect people." "The beauty and the smell of a rose might serve as a cure." "And sunrays as a food..." "Life has countless forms!" "A scientist must discover them in the material world." "Three things are essential, and I'm searching for them." "Though I will not find them, I won't give up either." "What are those things?" "One is the issue of food." "When stellar or earth energy is to be used to feed the hungry?" "What wine is to be given to the thirsty, that they might rejoice and realize they're Gods." "I know five loafs of bread can feed five thousand souls." "And water can turn into wine!" "But I also know that the hungry and thirsty have killed the one that fed them." "And they would do it again if He were to appear." "The second issue is how to destroy the energies of sufferance and evil that mark one's entire life." "Sometimes they come like epidemics from deep space." "In this century the disease had spread from the Earth and in space." "The one they call the Light of Asia, knew the answer to that." "He is no more and anguish and evil have become our only sky." "Whether there is surplus light in space is there third question." "I've discovered a star that could disappear according to all the laws of astronomy and math without anything apparently changing." "Such a star is located in our galaxy." "Its light can be squeezed into the size of apples, and more severe than the solar system!" "It is the source of life that will surge when life on earth starts to wither and die." "The Persian bore this apple in his hand, but he was unique." "He has left behind temples where fires no longer burn." "Religion and philosophy teach us that Man can become Christ, Buddha and Zarathustra." "What I am looking for is greater, more fantastic and incredible." "Making changes in the universe and on Earth that will allow every man to be born as Christ, Buddha or Zarathustra!" "You said that you believe that Archimedes found the fulcrum and that he could have moved the Earth, but he didn't." "He realized that if he were to move the Earth, he'll have to move the nine planets as well." "Then the Sun, the Milky Way and so forth." "Would he have gone out of our galaxy?" "If one were to move the Earth, anything could happen." "But he was a rational man that need not ramble through space." "Let's suppose this is not a joke." "What would you have done in his place?" "I deal with electricity, and not with levers, like Archimedes." "And I'm trying not to set the earth on fire!" "Gravitation is the force that holds everything together." "Birds` wing are proof that this is not a general law." "I know that gravitation is inclined to all that needs to fly." "I have no intention of making a plane or a rocket, but rather giving Man back the awareness of his own wings." "I'm also trying to wake up the energies residing in vacuums." "The vacuums are the biggest source of energy." "Emptiness is merely a manifestation of sleeping energy." "There is no emptiness on Earth." "Nor is there any in space!" "In your youth you wanted to make a perpetuum mobile?" "A perpetuum mobile is a spiritual device." "Once transferred into physical reality it stops operating." "If we were beyond Earth, it would function and be visible." "Maybe it will be possible when the moment to leave comes." "We'll make great play and call the elite of the city of New York." "Reports and photographers." "It might be fun!" "Mr. Tesla is a theater lover!" "He is also a playwright, director and main actor." "Let's not exaggerate." "I'm just a magician on a square called planet Earth." "I had my greatest performances at the Chicago fair and at the Paris Exhibition." "I staged tricks with the metal egg that obeyed my commands." "Or the experiments with flaming swords, high currents passing through my body, or melting wire with my bodily current." "There were also some unexpected side-effects, like the earthquake caused by vibrations." "High-rise buildings started to sway." "You remember the biblical story about Joshua?" "The one that cycled around Jericho and brought its walls down with trumpets." "He turned those same vibrations into sound." "That's much nicer." "My famous diner parties are also theater." "People were extremely honoured to be invited." "I enjoyed making such parties and attending similar ones." "I particularly liked the one in London." "I was given Faraday's armchair and offered some whiskey left behind by the greatest of all physicists." "Once you had such a passion for gambling that you spent all the money your parents were sending you." "That was no comedy." "Gambling has a cosmic origin." "It checks and reveals the inclination of certain forces." "There's a law for winning every time." "Alas, I haven't discover it." "Maybe on purpose!" "You certainly had periods when your life was not like a game?" "Yes." "Especially here in US when I tackled the scientists and the professors and Mr. Edison." "With him I fought the electricity war." "It lasted far too lang." "With an Italian I fought over radio." "Inventions were stolen and patents disappeared." "Then the terrible fire in 1894, that burned all my plans, and writings and machines." "Even worse was the lack of money that often stopped my work." "But the worse time in my life was my first year in the US when I had to dig sewerage trenches to survive." "I shan`t say more." "You astounded New York when you returned Mr. Westinghouse's check for the royalties on an invention of yours." "You declined millions of dollars though you were penniless!" "Mr. Westinghouse was the first to appreciate my work." "He was then in financial trouble and couldn't accept that check." "At times you were rich, but you haven't gained even a house." "The money I needed to work on new inventions." "In the end, you'll have nothing?" "That's how it should be!" "One returns home, where he has everything waiting for him." "Every morning pigeons land at your window at the 33rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel." "One must be sentimental with the birds." "Because of the wings." "Man once had real, visible wing too." "An archangel with six flaming wings and Nikola Tesla`s face is depicted in the Church of Uranium Brothers in San Diego, California." "You have certainly been there." "It seems that the church is your fate." " I am not to blame." "Let's return to the first question:" "Who are you?" "A friend said you're a "cosmic apparition"." "A scientist called you: "supreme realization of human potential"." "Poets say you're an angel that descended on Earth for some business with the light." "Your editor, Miss Dickinson would prefer the angel!" "She's not the only one." "Everyone wants an angel!" "Then angel be it!" "Any other questions, Mr. Smith?" " There's a personal one." " I can guess." "You never took a wife." "There are no stories about women you might have loved." "When you were younger you were very handsome." "Many beauties sought the company of the attractive and famous scientist." "But he stayed a bachelor." "Many attempts were made to get me married." "The funniest was by Dr. Laza Kostic, a great Serbian poet." "Having been rejected himself by Lenka Dundjerski he wrote to me that I should marry her." "A marriage between the greatest Serbian mind and the most beautiful woman in Serbia." "Resembled that on his philosophy of intersections where beauty is the essence of the order in the world." "I explained why this is impossible and thanked him." "Why?" "He wanted to make a heavenly couple on earth." "But the time is not right." "And another personal question." "In 1917 you were to share the Nobel Prize with Mr. Edison." "You refused it." "Mr. Edison is a great scientist but he meddled with my life far too much." "I could not take part in such an Italian opera." "You had already made your greatest discoveries." "But you didn't get the Prize." "Why?" "Envy, intrigue, misunderstanding?" "They were undoubtedly involved." "But something else distracted people from my inventions." "What would that be?" "Human fear from what most of those inventions represent." "People sensed that they would bring both good and evil." "So they often overlooked them or forget about them." "You knew they could serve evil, but still worked on them?" "I have my work." "I can't think what people will do with it." "That's what Da Vinci said when they asked him why he was building war machine." "Yes, they resented him for funny catapults he had made for the Duke of Milan." "But he was right!" "A scientist should create, not worry about consequences." "That's the immorality of science!" "In space and in nature there's a higher moral, that scientists ought to follow." "As for the human moral, history shows two things:" "Blood and gold!" ""Only blood flows and only gold glitters." A verse by Andre Adi." "It will remain so until Man adopts the moral of the stars." "What is moral of the stars?" "The oldest philosophy about respect of the cosmic laws." "These laws have been breeched and must be set up again." "Your followers regret your attacks on Albert Einstein and his Relativity Theory." "You've strangely stated that matter has no energy." "But all is filled with energy." "Where it comes from?" "First there was the energy, than the matter." "It's like saying you are your father's father!" "That's exactly how the universe was born." "Mater was created from the original and eternal energy." "We call it light." "It started shining and stars, planets, Man and everything else in the universe appeared." "Mater is an expression of the countless forms of light." "That's why energy is older than matter." "There are four laws of creation." "The first is that the source of everything is inconceivable." "A black particle that the mind cannot imagine, and that mathematics can't measure." "The whole universe fits into that particle." "The second law is the expansion of darkness." "It is the true nature of light and its transformation into light." "The third law is the need of the light to turn into matter." "The fourth law is that there is no beginning nor end." "The first three laws exist from eternity." "And creation is eternal." "You hate the Relativity Theory so much that at your birthdays you hold lectures on the false ways of its creator." "Remember:" "The space is not curved but the human mind!" "If the creator of Relativity knew that, he would become immortal." "Even physically if he prefers." "Proof of his false theory is his playing the violin." "It's his consolation and pastime." "He plays at parties with ignoramuses of his like." "You're really unjust to Mr. Einstein." "Don't you have poetry as your pastime and consolation?" "You said that the most valuable possession you brought to the US was a book of poetry." "Verses are words." "Einstein dared to touch the music." "It's a crime." "If his theory were true he would have become a famous musician like Handel or at least Gluck." "You haven't become one either, and you say your theory is right!" "I am one with the light, and light is music." "Light fills my six senses." "I hear, see, feel, smell, touch and think it." "Thinking is my sixth sense." "Light particles are like written notes." "A lightning can be a sonata." "Thousand bolts are a concerto!" "I created fireballs for this concerto, and they can be heard on the Himalayan peaks!" "I still fail to understand your refusal of Einstein." "He failed Pythagoras and Mathematics." "A scientist must not betray those two." "Numbers and equations are symbols denoting the music of the spheres." "Had Einstein heard its sound, he would not have created his Relativity Theory." "Those sounds tell the mind that life has sense." "That there's perfect order in the universe." "And that beauty is the cause and the effect of creation." "The eternal cycling of the starry skies, is this music." "The smallest star is a complete piece and part of the space symphony." "Heartbeat is part of this symphony on Earth." "Curved space is chaos." "Chaos is not music." "Einstein is the herald of the time of noise, chaos and rage." "Mr. Tesla, do you hear this music?" "I hear it always." "My spiritual ear is large like the skies above us." "I have enhanced my physical ear with the radar." "Once generated, a sound lives forever." "I can vanish for man, but it survives in the silence." "This is it's greatest power." "Our magazine plans to set up a correspondence school for immortality." "We've chosen the teachers:" "Plato, Homer, Kalidasa, Walnichi, Lee Thao Po," "Shakespeare, Milton, Michelangelo, Rafael," "Servantes, Goethe, Dostoyevsky," "Mozart, Beethoven, Bach Einstein and others..." "To each of them we'll dedicate a special issue of the magazine to tell their life and explain their achievements." "Due to the fortunate circumstance that you're alive, we've decided to start with you." "This interview is in a way the first lesson in our school." "Wrong, Mr. Smith!" "All those you've mentioned are still alive." "They're more alive then many that now walk the Earth." "The Earth still revolves because of them, but I had their physical presence in mind." "There's time." "You'll meet and tip your hat to many of them." "But now let's use the opportunity of my being here." "What are the conditions for the adaptation of an angel?" "I know ten." "I shall mark every word you say, Mr. Tesla." "The first is the awareness of one's task and duties." "As a child I knew most of the inventions I shall make." "The second condition of adaptation is perseverance." "All I had ever undertaken, I have completed." "And the third condition?" "Focusing one's vital and spiritual energy on work." "Hence the cleansing from many a need a mad has." "In doing so, I've lost nothing, but gained so much I greeted with joy every new day." "You must know that Nikola Tesla was a happy man." "The fourth condition is to adapt the physique to one's work." "What do you mean?" "Maintaining the body, above all." "The human body is a perfect machine." "I know my body well, and what's good for it." "What most people eat is harmful to me." "That's why I think all the cooks conspire against me." "Touch my hand..." "It's cold!" " Yes." "One can control the bloodstream." "As well as many other processes in and around us." "You have become pale!" " I've recalled a story..." "Never mind." "We shan`t continue until you tell me about it." "The story that Mark Twain was inspired by you when he wrote" ""Mysterious Stranger", the booklet about Satan." "I prefer the term Lucifer." "Lucifer is the "Light bearer"." "Let's go back to the adaptation of one's body." "Beside the food very important is a dream." "I gained the ability to manage with sleep and sleep and wake up when I set to myself." "If I don't understand something in dream I find a solution." "Bacon said that genius is often run away from his laboratory into sleep." "The fifth condition of adjustment is the memory." "Perhaps most people's brains is keeper of knowledge gained in life but my brain is engaged in more important things than memorizing." "He catches what he needed at a given time." "It's all around us and only needs to be taken." "What we once saw, heard, read and become aware follow us in the form of light particles." "I always have these particles obedient and loyal." "Goethe's "Faust", my favourite book I learned by heart in German as a student." "I still know it all by heart." "I carried my inventions for years in my head and only later created them." "Yes, you often mention the power of visualization." "The events of my life and my inventions are in front of my eyes real and visible as any occurrence and subject." "In my youth I was afraid of that, not knowing what is this actually." "But later I received this power as a gift and an advantage." "I have cherished and jealously guarded this gift." "With the help of visualization I repaired the inventions, and then construct them." "In this way, I solve complicated mathematical equations, not to write the numbers." "In Tibet, for this gift I received the rank of the High Lama." "Yes, Mozart would change only two or three notes on a score." "A composition was over in his head before that." "Yes, so it works." "My sight and hearing are perfect, and stronger than in other people." "I hear the thunder of 150 miles and I see colours in the sky that others can not see." "This increase of sight and hearing I had as a child." "Later I developed it consciously." "In the youth you have been repeatedly seriously ill." "Is the disease one of the conditions of adjustment?" "Yes, it is often the result of lack and exhaustion of life forces." "But often the purification of mind and body of toxins that have accumulated in us." "It is essential that a person is ill from time to time." "Most diseases come from the soul." "Hence the soul can cure most illnesses." "Apparitions are not a disease, but the capacity of the mind to venture beyond the three earthly dimension." "I was in Paris when I saw my mother's death." "Wonderful creatures hovered in the sky filled with music." "One of them had my mother's features and looked down on me with endless tenderness." "When the vision disappeared, I realised my mother had died." "What is the seventh adaptation?" "Knowing how to turn psychic and vital energy into whatever you want." "And how to take control of all one's feelings." "Such knowledge takes years to acquire." "Or you're born with it." "I always knew it." "Thus I turned myself into what I wanted." "A thinking and spiritual machine." "And the eight adaptation?" "Doing everything possible to bear in mind why are we one this Earth." "Outstanding men, troubled in life by illness or poverty, or hurt by the stupidity of the society, leave their work unfinished." "There are many fallen angels on this Earth." "Eckermann asked Goethe what would have happened if his happy and comfortable life had been different." "Goethe replied: "I would have found bonanza anyway."" "And the ninth adaptation?" " The most important one!" "Remember that Mr. Tesla played and enjoyed himself all his life." "That includes your discoveries and your work?" "Was that a game too?" " It was." "I loved playing with electricity." "I always tremble when I hear the story about the Greek that stole the fire." "Terrible story of bondage and eagles that peck his liver." "Didn't Zeus had sufficiently lightning so he was missing by one spark?" "It must have been a misunderstanding." "Thunderbolts are the nicest toys." "In your article you must stress that Tesla was the first man that created lightning." "Man?" "!" "You were talking about angels and their adaptation." "Have I?" "Well, it's the same thing." "Write also that Tesla dared to assume the powers of Indra, Zeus, and Perun." "Our readers do appreciate humour!" "How is it though, that you inventions serving mankind are just a game?" "Many will frown at that." "The problem is that people are far too serious." "They'd be happier and live much longer if they weren't." "They'd certainly like to hear your philosophy." "Life is a rhythm one must grasp." "I feel this beat." "I follow it and abandon myself to it." "All that lives is linked by profound and wonderful ties." "The Man and the stars..." "Our heart and the circling of countless worlds." "Those are unbreakable ties, but they can be softened." "Allowing Man to set up new relations in the world, without disturbing the existing ones." "Knowledge comes from space." "Our sight is the best receiver." "We have two eyes." "One is worldly, the other is spiritual." "One must strive to merge them into a single eye." "The universe is alive." "Even stone can think and feel." "A twinkling star wants us to look at it." "If we were not so self-absorbed we'd understand its messages." "One must harmonize his eyes, ears and breath with the eyes, ears and the breath of the universe." "What you're saying sounds like a Buddhist sermon." "In my experience, there is but one matter in the universe." "One supreme energy with countless manifestations of life." "They are all around us, but we're blind and deaf for them." "Once we link up emotionally, they'll come on their own." "There's something I should have asked you at the start." "What's electricity for you?" " Everything!" "Electricity is primarily light, its endless sources yielding matter in all its forms of life." "Black is the true colour of light and us not seeing it as such, is an act of grace to Man and all other creatures." "It has the power to shift Earth out of its path." "It is the true Archimedes` lever." "You're partial to electricity." "I'm electricity myself!" "And so are you, Mr. Smith." "But you're not aware of it." "I'm mostly made of electricity." "It differs in everyone and that's what our soul or Self." "In other creatures, it is their essence." "A pigeon I had been feeding came to my window one morning." "He came to tell me he was dying!" "Beams of light were pouring out of his eyes." "Never before had I seen so much light in a creature's eyes." "Your workers say that flashes, flames and bolts appear when you are angry or in some kind of danger." "Light has always been on my side." "You know who told me about the rotating magnetic field and the induction motor?" "One summer evening in Budapest" "I was watching the sunset with my friend Szigety." "Faust cam to my mind and I started reciting." "Suddenly I had a vision of the magnetic field rotating and the induction motor running." "I had seen them in the Sun." "The hotel staff says that during a storm you lock yourself up and talk to yourself." "I talk to the thunder and lightning." "Do you?" "In which language?" "Mostly in my mother tongue:" "Serbian." "Our readers would appreciate an explanation." "Sound resides both in thunder and in lightning." "Though in lightning it turns into brightness and colour." "One can listen to colour." "Every thunder and lightning is different and has its own name." "I sometimes gives them names of people that were close to me." "Or names of people I admire." "Thundering up in the skies, are my mother, my sister, my brother Danilo, the poet Zmaj, and Serbian historical figures." "Names like Isaiah, Ezekiel, Leonardo, Beethoven, Goya," "Faraday, Pushkin... designate flocks of thunder and lightning." "The strongest and the brightest that not disappear, but return." "I can recognize thousands of them." "For you poetry and science are the same?" "Two eyes on a single face." "William Blake said the universe was born from imagination." "It will keep it alive as long as there's a single man alive." "It is the creative energy, just like light." "For you, imagination is bigger than life?" " It bears life!" "You said I'm light too." "That's flattering, but I don't understand it." "Why should you understand?" "You only need to believe it." "Play, Mr. smith!" "Everything is light." "The fate of a nation is ray of light." "Every nation has one in the big source of light we call the Sun." "No nation that ever lived on the Earth actually disappeared." "No man that ever existed has died." "They turned into light and as such they still exist." "The secret is that the light particles return to their original state." "Is that resurrection?" "I call it returning into one of the previous energies." "Christ and some others, knew this secret." "Do you think time can be abolished?" " Not completely." "But it can be made to run slower or to expand." "Salvation is preserving one's conscience after this life." "In every corner of the universe, there is energy of life." "One of them is immortality." "It's origin is not in man, but it awaits him." "The universe is spiritual, and we are only half so." "The universe is more moral then we are." "Hence we must learn its nature and adapt our life to it." "I'm not a scientist but science is the best way to find the answer to a question that's been haunting me." "Which question?" "What happens to a falling star..." "Or to a sun that dies down." "The point is to preserve at least one of those stars or sun." "Once Man realizes that his supreme goal is to chase after a falling star and to try to catch it he'll understand that life has been given to him just for that." "And he will be saved." "He will catch the star in the end." "What will happen then?" "The Maker will laugh and say:" "It was falling just so you could run after it and catch it." "Isn't that in contradiction with the cosmic pain you often mention in your writings?" "What is cosmic pain?" "Are not contradictions, as we are on Earth." "It's a disease most people are unaware of." "Many other illnesses stem from it." "Suffering, evil, misery, wars..." "Everything that makes human life absurd and terrible." "This disease cannot be completely cured." "But being aware of it will make it less dangerous." "Whenever, someone dear to me was hurt, I felt physical pain."
