Throughout human history, there have been geniuses ahead of their time, but among them, one person in particular feels like a being from another dimension.

As if he were a being living on a different frequency while borrowing a human body.

His name is Nikola Tesla.

Just before he passed away, he left behind a difficult-to-understand sentence: “Only when you give up women can you conquer death.”

At first glance, this sounds like the whisper of madness.

However, if you look a little deeper, hidden within it is a question that shakes the very structure of human existence.

To Tesla, the human body was not merely a physical body.

It was a sophisticatedly designed ‘energy device,’ and our consciousness was like the electric current flowing through that device.

But where are we using that precious electric current?

Just as electricity generated at a top-tier power plant is poured into street neon signs, our energy is being consumed amidst momentary pleasure and stimulation.

He viewed this as a ‘short circuit.’

When you are strongly drawn to something, it is not merely an emotion, but a direction of energy.

However, most people let that energy flow downward.

They turn it into heat that flashes like a flame and vanishes. Tesla, on the other hand, reversed that flow.

It is as if he made a waterfall surge toward the sky instead of falling downward.

As a result, he completed a machine in his mind without paper or pen.

He finished the experiment by rotating every single gear and screw as if they were real.

His mind was not a factory, but a universe.

Then why have we lost this ability?

Tesla interpreted nature's design in this way.

Nature has only a cruelly simple goal.

That is ‘reproduction.’ The moment that goal is achieved, the individual is no longer an important being.

Just as a flame leaves only ash after burning all the fuel, humans also begin to be slowly consumed.

Therefore, our desires are designed to be sweet.

Sticky like honey, and repetitive like addiction.

As long as we remain within it, we endlessly run through the same circuit.

Like a hamster running on a wheel, it seems to be moving forward, but in reality, it is in the same place.

Tesla separated himself from that circuit.

He did not suppress his desire; he changed direction.

He did not extinguish the fire; he nurtured it into the sun.

Interestingly, the greats of history also walked a similar path.

They stepped back from the noise of the world and entered into silence.

That silence was not an empty space, but rather a state where all possibilities were condensed.

It is a state like the deep sea, where the surface is calm but a massive current is stirring beneath.

Conversely, what about us today?

We endlessly consume stimulation with a single finger, constantly putting small candies called dopamine into our mouths.

Those candies are sweet but vanish quickly, making us crave even greater stimulation. In this way, our energy is fragmented, and our focus scatters.

This was precisely the ‘trap of ordinariness’ that Tesla spoke of.

A state in which a being with great potential uses himself up like a disposable commodity.

The records of his later years are even more peculiar.

He spoke of communing with pigeons and seeing the light.

Many people dismissed this as madness, but perhaps he was listening to a frequency that we cannot hear.

Just as a radio picks up signals only on specific frequencies, his consciousness was already tuned to a different channel.

For him, conquering death was not about preserving the physical body forever.

It was the ‘independence of consciousness.’

A state where one can break free from the program of instinct and choose one’s own direction. No longer a being that reacts to external stimuli, but a being that creates its own waves.

It is like becoming the wind itself, rather than a leaf swaying in the breeze.

Perhaps the fatigue and emptiness you are feeling right now are not merely simple emotions.

It could be a sign that energy is flowing in the wrong direction.

The current within you, invisible yet clearly present, is leaking somewhere.

Tesla’s path is certainly not easy. You may feel lonely, and at times, even disconnected from the world. However, at the end of that path lies a state where you are no longer shaken. A state where you do not lean on anyone and are not swayed by any stimulus. There, desire does not disappear, but transforms into a completely different form. Just as a flame does not scatter into smoke but becomes a star and remains in the sky. Ultimately, the question is simple. Where is your energy flowing right now? Only one person—you—can decide whether to let that flow continue as it is or to change its direction.
