Core Thesis​

"The robust number of discoveries that we've suddenly have the cataclysmic progression of scientific thought is because we are dealing with scientists who are trying to open doors and portals into other realms of understanding and other spiritual knowledge."

This analysis explores how two pivotal inventors - Nicola Tesla and Jack Parsons - allegedly used occult practices to achieve their breakthrough discoveries, raising profound questions about the spiritual foundations of modern technology.

Key Insights​

The Acceleration of Technology​

"We are living in an age that is so vastly different from any age that people were living in before 1850. It's almost staggering to believe that we are the same people group."

The speaker argues that the unprecedented rate of technological advancement since 1850 suggests something fundamentally different about how these discoveries were made.

The Cost of Supernatural Knowledge​

"While the temptation to harness that kind of promised power seems so tempting, we have been ushered into an age that is debilitating the human condition at a rate so fast and so frightening."

The central argument: technological progress achieved through occult means has come at the expense of human flourishing.

Nicola Tesla: The Tormented Genius​

His Supernatural Practices​

"He would fall asleep with a spoon in his hand over a hard surface like a plate. And when he started to fall asleep... when that spoon would hit the plate, he would wake up and then he would quickly try to write down everything that he had experienced."

Tesla's method for receiving inventions:

  • Only slept 20 minutes at a time
  • Used hypnagogic states to communicate with entities
  • Found instructions written on paper by his bedside
  • Built entire inventions in his mind before constructing them

The Price of His Gifts​

"This is not a person who had any kind of life that was worth living. He was incredibly plagued after these flashes of light, these visits of entities."

Tesla's supernatural abilities came with severe costs:

  • Could hear a fly landing three rooms away
  • Thunder from 550 miles away sounded like it was next to him
  • Constant tremors and skin crawling sensations
  • Couldn't walk under bridges due to feeling structural pressure
  • Died alone, impoverished, in love with a pigeon

His Numerological Obsessions​

"Everything he did in life was driven by the numbers 3, 6, and 9... his reasoning was so that he would be in tune with the vibrations of the world."

Tesla believed these numbers were key to understanding the powers that drive the world.

Jack Parsons: The Rocket Scientist Occultist​

Explicit Occult Practices​

"Jack Parsons absolutely called on occult practices and ritual magic in order for him to have breakthrough scientifically."

Unlike Tesla's more ambiguous practices, Parsons was explicitly involved in:

  • Alistair Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)
  • Gnostic Mass ceremonies involving nudity and blood
  • Attempts to summon female entities to usher in "the age of Babylon"
  • Belief that he was the antichrist and new prophet

The Asphalt Discovery​

"He decided to add asphalt to the rocket and then that would work as a binder... other people say that Jack was leaning on his spirit guides to inform him about what needed to be done."

Parsons' breakthrough in rocket fuel stabilization allegedly came through spiritual guidance rather than conventional chemistry.

His Tragic End​

"The blast was so strong that it blew out the windows of several houses... His body was under a wash tub that had fallen over. One of his arms was blown off. His legs were in splinters. The skin had been blown off from his face so you could see his teeth."

Parsons died in a mysterious explosion, with theories ranging from:

  • Government assassination (he knew too many secrets)
  • Occult retaliation from Crowley or other practitioners
  • Demonic forces he couldn't control

The Tower of Babel Parallel​

"You read in Genesis about the Tower of Babel. All that was was the people of the earth trying to come together and become their own gods. Tap into an energy source that would exclude them from the necessity of God."

The speaker draws parallels between:

  • Ancient attempts to access divine power without God
  • Tesla's interest in pyramids as power generators
  • Modern internet as a new Tower of Babel creating homogenized humanity

The Internet as Modern Babylon​

"The internet is just a place where we collectively come together and we become a homogenized group of people... We've lost our personalities. We've lost the ability to be individual humans."

Key concerns about technological dependency:

  • Loss of individual identity
  • Addiction to devices and doom scrolling
  • Inability to function without electronic assistance
  • Becoming servants to technology rather than masters of it

The Dehumanizing Effect​

"We are becoming humans that are being plugged into electricity rather than using electricity to aid us. We are now aiding this electronical world that is running and we're just sort of running behind it."

The fundamental reversal: instead of technology serving humanity, humans now serve technology.

The Alternative Path​

"What secrets of the ancient do we need? What secret of the ancient brings the same peace as running a bath for your kids and talking to them and tucking them in at night?"

The speaker advocates for:

  • Simple human connections over technological advancement
  • Being present with loved ones
  • Choosing in-person interactions over online ones
  • Recognizing that Christ's love is "given freely" unlike occult power

Most Powerful Quotes​

On the Cost of Occult Knowledge​

"These are people who are ushering all of us into an age that is so diabolically against humanity with the depression, addiction to cell phones, addiction to pornography, the internet."

On Tesla's Condition​

"Yes, he'd been the conduit for all these like genius inventions... But his life was a wreck, an absolute dumping ground for all of these ideas. But he was like the meat sack that went around and did the ideas."

On the False Promise of Power​

"There's no satanic power. There's no occult magic. There's no ritual that's ever going to be given to you freely. But there is something that's given to you freely that gives you more peace than that transcends all understanding."

On Human Priority​

"When you have an opportunity to choose being with another human being, be with the other human being... make human beings your priority and be present."

Conclusion​

This analysis presents a provocative thesis: that the rapid technological advancement of the past 175 years may have spiritual origins rooted in occult practices, and that this "progress" has come at a devastating cost to human flourishing. Whether one accepts the supernatural elements or not, the core warning about technology's dehumanizing effects and the importance of maintaining genuine human connections remains compelling.

The speaker calls for skepticism toward unchecked technological adoption and a return to prioritizing authentic human relationships over digital interactions - a message that resonates regardless of one's views on the occult origins of modern invention.
