Nikola Tesla and his religious beliefs

Damir Kapustic

Tesla was raised in a family of devout Christians. His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps by becoming a Priest. His parents asked him to read the Bible when he was struggling with Cholera as a child. He had other plans and convinced his father to learn engineering instead of becoming a priest. But according to his autobiography, he definitely believed. He spoke of frequencies, energy, and the secrets of the universe. “When a word was spoken to me the image of the object it designated would present itself vividly to my vision and sometimes I was quite unable to distinguish whether what I saw was tangible or not. This caused me great discomfort and anxiety . . . To give an idea of my distress, suppose that I had witnessed a funeral or some such nerve-racking spectacle. Then, inevitably, in the stillness of the night, a vivid picture of the scene would thrust itself before my eyes and persist, despite all my efforts to banish it. Sometimes it would remain fixed in space though I pushed my hand through it.” When he spoke about humankind's prejudices he experienced, he also mentioned his Christian ability to forgive.
