Conversations With Tesla
The old grandfather clock on the living room mantle chimed 4: 00 A.M.
Awake but a moment, I rolled onto my side and went back to sleep.
A voice in the room said “Ray, are you still awake”?
Uh, yes I mumbled, just before I sat up in bed wide eyed.
In the corner of my bedroom I could see the outline of someone standing.
“Who are you? ”

“Who are you? ”

“Wait just a minute; you died a long time ago”
“Death and time are subjective” he replied.
“What do you want? ”
“To speak to you about energy…unlimited energy”
“Why talk to me? ”
“Why not?
“Alright, so talk to me”
“I bring good news from the future”
“You died years ago and now you come from the future? ”
“Yes”
“So? ”
“Let me just say that mankind is in deep trouble”
“No kidding, tell me something I don’t know”
“As you know long ago I developed Alternating Current (AC) to help mankind use electricity to light up and power cities. After this I began work on transmitting electricity through the air over great distances, but my research laboratory was burned to the ground by your Government”
“Why? ”
“It was a matter of economics and business, as there was no way the utility company could make money from my free energy idea, so they shut me down.”
Tesla went on;
“I’ve come back at a critical time when wars are being fought over fossil fuels and when mankind is destroying air, water and world eco-systems. It’s time to re-introduce technology that will stop chaos and destruction.”
