Namaste and welcome to our continuing series, Evenings with Sraddhalu. Namaste. Yesterday I was speaking with a friend who said to me, you have no idea how fast the world is evolving, especially technologically. And he mentioned photography, which I'm doing, and he said, your photography may be outdated in a year or two. There will be holograms, there will be everything else. How fast is it really moving, and how important is this?

Sraddhalu (0:01:33):
In a sense, we can say it could have been moving much faster. And there are interests, we can refer to them euphemistically as gatekeepers. They protect, prevent too rapid a change in technology, because it serves certain economic interests. And in fact at the prototype level, the technologies are so overwhelmingly radical, that it's difficult to imagine what will happen to the world, how humanity will actually exercise the benefits of those technologies. Just take the example of the mobile phone. There was a time when they actually said it in so many words that there's no way everybody can have a phone in their house because it would need so much copper cables 40 years ago. I feel an old man when I say 40 years ago. So let's say 30 years ago, not so old. <laughs> When I had quoted this statement that they said if every Chinese family had a refrigerator, now throw in India also, every Chinese and Indian family had a refrigerator, it would not be possible because there is not enough iron in the world to make so many refrigerators. And then what happened, well almost everybody seems to have one or at least it's heading quite rapidly there, we're not using iron anymore. We're filled in with plastic and various other materials which are practically more strong and durable and lighter than if the whole thing had been made with iron.

So there is something which is unable to see the radical shifts in technology because we tend to project our current thinking and capacity into larger numbers, not realising that there is something fundamentally different which is going to replace it and that's why they call it disruptive technology. They disrupt the current status quo and suddenly everything becomes overnight obsolete. Something like that is happening with cars today. All over the world you will find car sales have dramatically dropped. People have just stopped buying cars. And one of the reasons is because the cost of the car, and then the maintenance of the car, and then the storage space, and the parking, and the repairing, and the driver, if you need to have someone drive you, all of that complication is all thrown out if you can get a car on demand, which is what you're getting through your app. I need to go at a certain time. I book it online, and the driver is there with the car. I get in, he drops me off, he goes away and picks up someone else. So your car you would have used perhaps in a day, an hour or two during the commute. The rest of the time it's sitting idle. Well it could have been shared but there was no mechanism to do that. Now you have one car that's being shared by 30, 40, 50 people and the cost per person therefore is that much less and you can hire cars in this way and pay far less than you would in owning it and replacing it over the years. And now you replace the driver, let the cars become automatic and you can see the implication of that. Your cars are available 24 hours, they move with a rapidity and ease far greater. There are less accidents. They come on demand. Where are they stored? I don't know. I don't care where the garage is. Maybe there is no garage because the car is being used all the time. The garage is the road where it's always in use. And the result is that, and then make one more radical change, you make the car electric and where you had 2000 moving parts, you replaced it by 20 moving parts. And with a lifespan which is something like 50 years for an electric car.

What happens then? You make the car once, you don't have to think about it and you can share it. And you can optimise according to seasons. Now you know, okay, we're heading for the winter season, we're going to have more car needs because there's a tourist traffic that's coming. Shift them from one city to another. And how do you shift? You don't have to travel all the way to Delhi, from Delhi to Pondicherry, because you know how the patterns will shift. So every time that there is a drive from Delhi to Kanpur, you let the car stay on, and the next drive there is a Kanpur to the next city, you let the car stay on, and across the whole of India, the entire car population is as if drifting all around, you don't need any car to be in any garage ever, if you can optimise on that level, which is potentially possible with the AI we have, with existing technology. None of this is new. It's all doable. And the level of disruption it will bring in, people fear. A year or two ago, the Minister for Transport, one day announced, we will never allow self-driving cars because we don't want the jobs of the drivers to be lost. I'm sorry, he is behind the times. He will be thrown out if he thinks like that. It will happen irrespective. So we are looking at a future where we cannot anticipate what will happen.

Sraddhalu (0:07:09):

So you were speaking of images. Look at the photography possible with today's cameras and I'm saying this is still outdated. We are just pushing up number of megapixels. How many pixels do you have? It's gone way beyond what we used to have with photo film with levels of sensitivity far greater. The same camera can record video, can record stills, audio and many other things with internally self-correcting technologies which image process at the very time that you take the photo to optimise high contrasts which later you would have had to do in the slow process in the dark room, it's all come into your camera. There is no photo that you have taken with your mobile phone which is not processed for optimising the quality of image. It's all being done already automatically and this is the interesting thing. This is obsolete technology. We are pushing it to 100 megapixels. Today, typical camera is 20 megapixels on the high side. This one may be 10 megapixels. They are coming out with mobile phones with 100 megapixels. And then you have to have enough memory to store something that big. What would you use it for? And the very interesting this is that you can zoom. With more megapixels you can zoom and it's become a telescope in your hand. It's a microscope, telescope all at the same time and this is not yet yet. The range, the angle it can take is far bigger. It becomes fish eye lens. Now when you're taking a picture it's not just this little frame but it's taking something larger. A little bit more, because the technology exists, you record 360 degrees all around. You have now an immersive photo. So take the camera, instead of pointing it at someone, you will hold it like that. There's a little stick which will pop up. It'll take a full 360 degree picture. Now you might not want it all the time, but you will want it at the top of a mountain. You will want it in a forest. You will not want you in the picture, right? So you'll put it in your head maybe to take. Or the camera itself will have internally the corrective technology. As you take a picture, you will be asked to move the camera like this and it will edit out you as a person because it gets the picture behind you. It will be as simple as that. Take your camera, swing it around, it's taking a 360 degree picture.

Now this technology exists. It's no big deal. It's just the gatekeepers are making sure you will get it in two or three years. Maybe, or maybe five years if you're lucky. But it exists already. And still that's nothing. Holography then becomes the three-dimensional photography. Where not only you have a flat picture, but you experience a three-dimensional 360 degree image and then with that of course the audio has to catch up to keep track of the different directions of sound. So you'll not have stereo but what would be the word for it? Quadro? At least four points to pick up.

[Narad] Surround?

[Sraddhalu] But surround is already used up for an inferior technology. Surround may be? But my point is all of this is in a domain of reach immediately. When you start using it, you will have to have screens to enjoy it. You can't have a little screen in front of you. You can't just enjoy it in a mobile phone screen. So you will have equivalently immersive spaces where it will be projected like that. You will create that. or you'll have a hologram which will project it around you that's still some way away but doable with current technology. That's not it yet. There's one more thing which is called light field photography. Now all of the photographs you're taking are taken with a lens and a screen behind and you have to focus the picture before you on to the flat screen behind. So it's as if you're taking a slice or flattening the picture into a slice and that's your photo. But light field photography does not have a lens. It's taking the entire chunk of light that's pouring into you. So let's say you have a circular or rectangular opening. All the light coming is photographed with its full range. The result is what I capture is not a flat image But the full 3D depth of what is coming in, having taken the photo with light field camera, I can now shift the focus. So if I have let's see five layers in my image, I have taken the picture and now I look at the screen and I say okay I want to focus on the flower in front, no I want to focus on the tree behind, no I want to focus and zoom in on the fellow the mountain at the back and the picture can focus on any of these because it has the full data, the full information of the depth in all the layers.

Sraddhalu (0:12:14):

Now light field photography with 360 degree allows you to make them a holographic image, you need a projection system which will fill in. What would that mean? How would we consume it? What will happen to cinema for example if it becomes immersive? And so we cannot imagine the actual usage of it. We can imagine the utility of a technology, but how will you use? Will everybody just as you couldn't imagine a day when everyone has their own phone. Landlines have become irrelevant. They stay only for offices. What will happen when photography becomes like this? And we can't imagine. Social media will change now. When you're talking to someone it will not be on the screen but it will be in an immersive image. So you will switch on your let's say Skype call and you will be seeing the person in their apartment with all 360 degree and you look around and you say, ‘wow that's a beautiful place you have’, because you'll be effectively in their apartment, right? And they will be in your apartment, they will look at your space, what would that conversation be like? Or maybe we will say, no this is too much, we are invading in privacy. Shall we just reduce the call to a narrow picture? Yes, I think we should do that, which is what happens today, when you are on a video call, someone says, I am sorry I am not looking my best, let's switch to an audio call, video is too invasive, right? Or you have to prepare yourself, dress up for your video call. You can't be casual. Many things like that. It will change society, change social relationship, change the mindset of people.

Narad (0:13:52):

Is any of it being used in the military?

Sraddhalu (0:13:56):

Yes, the military already has a lot of these things is to show these types of things in science fiction cinema. Star Trek was one of the first ways of preparing the populace where they had three-dimensional holograms and then what was called a tricorder. Those of you who have seen Star Trek, it was a little device, a little smaller than a mobile phone, the screen was still narrower and with this you could sweep it over the hand or sweep over the body and it will give you a full diagnosis of any illness and it could even heal where necessary. Do you know this actually exists? The capability exists. It was 30 years ago, I feel an old man, sorry, 25 years ago, 1997 actually. 1997, I recall reading of how the technology had been developed to make a millimetre wave transmitter on a computer chip. Now the same chip which is inside your mobile phone has the capability if made in a different way to transmit millimetre wave radar. Not only transmit but therefore receive. What is millimeter wave? That's what you see at the airports when you pass through. You don't use x-rays which are harmful but millimetre wave goes right through your body. It can see through but it's not harmful to you. It's not ionising radiation and that same technology is available on the mobile phone with the radar. Let's say you now design it to go to a depth of 10 centimetres only, place it on your body, move it around and here on the screen you will see the insides, the bones and the soft tissue while the heart is pulsing, you will see it right there, just holding it like this. The technology exists because it was developed 1997.

Why is it not available to you? Why do you still have to go for those ultrasonic gram and MRI scan and CAT scan which is so harmful because it's X-rays, that's your gatekeepers preventing you from having that technology which is already available. When every airport has millimetre wave scans for the whole body and if you can do that why can't you do it here because it's on a chip finally. Why not put it on the mobile phone or the something the size of the mobile phone. So what will happen to medicine if your entire diagnosis comes on the hand which was shown to us by Star Trek 45 years ago. Today at least we can say, technology is there, but at that time it was available in certain secret facilities within the military. As you know they were using microwave cooking in the military at least 10 years before, they officially brought it out to the public. And even then it was brought out as a big new invention, very expensive, only the rich can afford, and then they bring it down to make it affordable. When the technology is so cheap, you can make it affordable to anybody. If you buy an expensive mobile phone, typically in a range which is nearly a thousand dollars. The actual electronics cost is less than a hundred dollars, in fact much less. You have to layer in all the profits in the full supply chain and on the last stage you have all the people you paid for the software, shareholders etc. and if you could somehow eliminate a large part of that and bring a more equitable distribution you could have it for a hundred dollars, the most advanced mobile phones for a hundred dollars and then the cheapest phones would be one-tenth of what they are today. It's all already existing, so well we are in for major disruptions. Everything lies in the hands of the gatekeepers. How soon will they allow it?

Narad (0:17:59):
We look on the internet and we see so much of Tesla these days. What of his discoveries are coming true?

Sraddhalu (0:18:17):
You are speaking of Nikola Tesla? Yes. And then there is the Tesla Motor Company by Elon Musk. Nikola Tesla was the Vibhuti of the electrical age. It sounds dramatic. But we have had scientists who were Vibhutis for something. Leonardo da Vinci was a Vibhuti for, I think Sri Aurobindo put it this way, the whole of modern Europe and the development of modern Europe and the mind of modern Europe had to be embodied in one person before it could eventually become the collective reality. It had to be embodied in one person. So he did everything which subsequently became specialised sciences and the mindset with which he approached things had to be embodied in him and then imprinted into the collective. So just as we have Vibhutis and we normally recognize them more for their spiritual interventions or their military interventions like Shivaji was a Vibhuti which saved India from otherwise what would have been complete destruction in darkness. You have a Joan of Arc in France who came for that intervention to protect France for the work she had to do subsequently and so on.

We recognize them more in that aspect or as artists at best who initiates a whole new line of art. We don't recognize science also has its vibhutis and Einstein was not one. Although he is still popular, and it's my opinion, I may be wrong, but I am giving you my opinion. He is very popular, he is projected as Einsteinian physics but what it did, it brought a revolution in thought, but it did not change anything of physics. It did not help the growth of physics or of technology. Similarly a famous person does not make a Vibhuti and so you had Tesla's arch rival who was Edison and he is very much popularised, he made more than a thousand patents and all that. Tesla had this name for him, he said Edison does not think, he is not genius, he keeps trying the hard way, you know he made for one light bulb, he made this is some thousand attempts, he tried this and then that and then that and then that waste, that's not genius, and light bulbs already existed before. It's just that they were not lasting. Tesla did something which was so radical nobody could imagine possible. He invented what is today halogen lamp, neon lamp, CFL lamps just as an example of light bulb, but that's not it. His real achievement in light creation was a light bulb which was this is spherical with a button in the centre, that's the word he uses, which electrically pulsated at very high frequencies, gave off pure white sunlight and it was cool to the touch. Now you may say it is the closest to current tube lights or CFL bulbs or neons but it was way beyond. It used so little electricity and gave such a bright light for the little electricity used that you could have one bulb in the room running on a battery and it could light up the whole place and with sunlight quality light. And all of this is part of his patents.

Sraddhalu (0:21:52):

He demonstrated it at that time and you have to ask why is it that these were not turned into actual technologies. Instead Edison's filament bulb which fuses every so many months became the norm. There is your gatekeepers, who held the back, suppressed the real forward march. And what Tesla did was he initiated on earth the electrical age. All of today's electricity, all of today's technology built on electricity including the current AC transmission systems, the motors, AC motors, which were considered impossible during his age. Scientists, the greatest scientists of the world said, the AC motor is impossible. Why? Because AC, remember, is current going one way and then the other way and one way back and forth. And they said, on the average, there is zero current. How can you use this to spin something? Right? It seems logical. The best minds of the world said this and Tesla not only said they're wrong, he knew how to build it, he began to design it in his mind, he had the genius which saw it and a few weeks down somebody asks him what happened to your AC motor? He says I have already built it. Now I'm testing it. Where is it? Oh it's in my mind and in his mind he's testing it and he finds out these are the defects, he optimises it. When the whole thing is complete, he sits in his lab and makes all the parts to specification and here you have a working AC motor, high efficiency. That's genius. That is the vibhuti of science. And he initiates every electrical thing, just as Leonardo da Vinci initiated all the different sciences and the character of the mind of Europe, he initiates every electrical thing including robotics, remote control, X-rays, radio waves etc., and he went well beyond. Like I said with the bulb alone, but he had other things. And one of them had to do with transmission of energy, transmission through radio waves of sound, of images, television.

He even designed a system for the television broadcast where you would have multiple channels. Now this was unheard of because the basic radio technology was in such an infancy that it was more oddity and he's already designed multiple channels for transmission through a single broadcaster and you know in when they first made radio wave transmitters it had a distance after which it fades out. His first design of the transmitter was designed to transmit all around the globe. The design of it was resonating with the Earth's size and with the ionosphere and the Earth's surface. The very first one, it's like his perfect machine he designed it and pop he manifests it. So there's something so extraordinary in the work he was doing and then there are experiments he was doing whose true nature we still don't know. And The only place I have found some idea of those experiments is in Savitri where Sri Aurobindo describes these as achievements of science. So there's one there's one line where Sri Aurobindo has the, I think the Rajasik ego say, I have made water harder than steel and made iron soft as velvet. What is this water harder than steel? Where do you find water harder than steel? Look through all your scientific literature and Sri Aurobindo saying I have made in the name of humanity or that arrogance of science, you will not find it except in Tesla. And you will of course find it later on in, water when it's frozen to near absolute zero it becomes almost harder than steel. But that's not normal water. It's no more water. It's just frozen.

Water while it's flowing to be harder than steel. Have you ever seen that? What did Tesla do? He had these gigantic tanks. He found a way to put the water under enormous pressure. Now, I don't remember the numbers exactly, but it is in the range of some thousands of pounds per square inch. I have a vague memory of 40,000 pounds per square inch, but I may be wrong. But it is something in a huge, humongous number. And so from this tank, you have a water jet coming out at, let's say 40,000 pounds per square inch shooting out and when it's shooting out, that's strong enough to cut through steel and what he does in the experiment, as someone observes him doing he takes a bar of steel lifts it and slams it on the water flow what do you think will happen? normally if water is flowing, the bar would go right through, right? here it bangs and bounces off as if it's hit steel and yet it's flowing liquid water. Imagine what that means. What is he doing with this? Of course the technology subsequently is used even today for cutting steel plates. So there are industries where they cut with laser but the industries where they cut with water jets at high pressure and there are benefits to both. But he was not using it for cutting, he was doing something else with it.

Sraddhalu (0:27:15):

We have other experiments which he did which were built on the concept of resonance. He called it his earthquake machine. So in the middle of New York City, he sets up his device on a tall building and it starts oscillating the central pillar of the building which knocks and builds up the pulsations until the entire building starts shaking and the ground in that area starts shaking and there's a mini earthquake that takes place and the police come rushing looking for the source of this and they find Tesla takes a hammer and breaks his machine because he doesn't have enough time to shut it down or he can't shut it down so he breaks it with a hammer and he's happily exclaiming, I did it, I did it. What did he do with pure air pressure, the compressed air, the kind which you fill your bicycle tires with or car tires with. With that now he has a hammer pulsating. How much energy does it take? Practically nothing, right? You could do it with your hand. But the timing of the pulsation, catching the resonance and building it to a point where it creates an earthquake. So how a tiny airflow could be made to shake the earth or how flowing water could be made harder than steel and  all of this really resonates directly with the Vedic sciences and implications of that which Sri Aurobindo speaks of. To be able to draw out any quality out of any substance, out of hard substance to draw softness, out of soft substance to draw out hardness and you see this in Sri Aurobindo's comments on this in the architecture in India, you have hard granite made to flow like fluid soft velvety substance and that's what you see in the architecture of the old temples.

And evoking that contrary quality of granite, that's one of the skills, that's when the art has reached its true mastery. Granite is the hardest stone possible to cut. Most carvers will not touch granite. They go for marble because it's much softer or limestone which is soft, easy to chip. Granite you have to hit harder to chip and in that very hard hit you are likely to break something equally. Imagine you are making the perfect beautiful face of a goddess and while you are doing the perfect cut of the nose, you chip a little too hard and the nose breaks. You have to start all over again. You make a fine eyebrow one side and you try to make an exact mirror on the other side. It can't be not a mirror image. You chip a little bit and the whole thing is waste. And you have to start all over again with something which is the hardest material and interestingly precisely because it is hard, you can make the finest curves the finest lines the most subtle lines on it. The soft material cannot make those subtleties. It can only flow on the surface but not a line which is subtle. So it's as if in the very nature of the resistance of that material is a potential for the extreme of softness and artistry and subtlety. And to be able to capture that and draw it out as if from the material, that is the real art. And something like that Tesla was experimenting with among his lesser known experiments. Bulk of it of course he focused on electricity and in his later years with his transmitting tower he wanted to broadcast power, not just television and radio but power so that he said anybody sitting anywhere on earth can plug in not into your local electrical plug but into his aerial and draw electricity to light up instruments anywhere on earth from his single transmitter.

Sraddhalu (0:31:15):

And when the promoters for him discovered that they could not put a bill, they stopped the project and dismantled his transmitter. Several times he was attacked, his laboratory was set on fire. He lost many years of work because he used to minutely document everything, which was necessary to prove that he had actually done it and because of that documentation today we can say that Tesla was the first inventor of radio, not Marconi. In fact Marconi stole that from him or stole the concepts and you have to ask why your textbooks still say Marconi did it and he fought, Tesla fought back, it went to court and the final judgement came a few days after he died, where they said no, Tesla's notes prove that he had done it well before. Why is it Edison is promoted, Marconi is promoted, all the names are promoted and Tesla is completely forgotten. The reason for that is his technology went so far ahead that it would revolutionise all our life today. That bulb is one example but what he did, which was the most revolutionary was, he was able to through this oscillation tap into the electricity which is in the ambient space and energise that to be able to run a motor so there's a record of him assembling a little device which is about this size he plugs it into his car which is electric by the way. He has an electric motor with his AC motor or whatever switches it on and then he can drive for hundreds of kilometres, miles in the US. He drives for hundreds of miles and nothing used, no fuel. He is drawing electricity from the air, from space and this was too disruptive. So he had to be pushed back by the then gatekeepers and there's a statement he makes. He says that the present age may belong to you people, but the future age is mine. So he's the creator of the electrical age but what he created then is still classified.

When he died, so every year before he died on his birthday, interestingly, he would hold a press conference and he would describe all the current discoveries he's made and his inventions and in the last few years he was describing how he had created a device he called it the Death ray. He could beam a high voltage pulsation which would go like a pencil thin beam at a distance of 200 miles and knock out any aircraft or missile potentially, simply cut right through like a laser and knock it out and he describes the technologies the components which make for this and he says I have done it. But you do not find the evidence. It's as if all that has been buried. He had the patents which are in public and a whole host of patents which are still classified. So when he died the US government seized 14 crates of his papers of which 10 crates were sorted and sent. He was a US citizen but it was the Office of Alien Properties that took over his crates and sent it to his family out of the US in Croatia and they kept four crates of documents which are classified. And I believe in 2004 or 2005 somebody applied for declassifying those documents under the Freedom of Information Act. It was the US Air Force that responded saying this is still classified.Now he died in 1944. I believe right? Something like that. Yeah, and you have to wonder what from 1944, 60 years later, the US Air Force considers worthy of classification. Because if it goes into the hands of the enemy they might take advantage of it. Now what is it that 60 years ago was invented that even today you do not want the enemy to know about which obviously you have used in your super secret programs. And a hint of this we get, one was of course the energy that he was able to draw. A hint of this we get in some patents which describe flying devices and some of the experiments which he did with these death rays and high voltage electricity and we don't know the full scope of what he was able to do.

Narad (0:35:43):
How do the gatekeepers correlate with the deep state?

Sraddhalu (0:35:50):
Well, they are the ones who form the deep state. They are the ones who hold back technology, direct funds to suit their interests, prevent common man from becoming independent so that humanity may be always dependent, enslaved and so on. So they have also become gatekeepers of knowledge. That's why I gave this example. Why is it that Tesla's all his inventions are still kept buried and the importance of who he was is hidden? Because if people know that he did all this, they will ask, well, where is all this? Why can't we do it? Why can't we replicate? And all the descriptions are there in the patents. And in one of the patents, he actually writes. Remember Tesla, I have not spoken about Tesla much, so maybe I'll share a little more about him. He met Swami Vivekananda through Sarah Bernhardt. Why am I taking the name of Sarah Bernhardt? Well, she reincarnated as Mother's granddaughter. So there is an old connection of interested people. So Sarah Bernhardt is a French actress, she is in the United States. She is a devotee or admirer at least of Swami Vivekananda and she takes Tesla to him. There is list of Helms, if I remember right, a whole list of four or five senior scientists of that age who were attending Swami Vivekananda's lectures. This is now 1893 onwards, he was there for a few years, after the Chicago conference where he suddenly came into prominence. And he is talking to them about Vedantic theories of spirituality, of life, but also of matter. And he describes how matter emerges out of consciousness. This is part of the Vedantic teaching and they are coming fascinated by this.

And Tesla is on record saying that this is the only theory which makes sense. And then he has a conversation with Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda says it should be possible to prove that force and energy, matter and energy are equivalent and that matter can be reduced to force or energy converted into matter and Swami Vivekananda notes that this scientist Tesla used to come and attend every one of his lectures and he was a man who was so busy he had no time to eat. Such a man would come and attend every lecture and he said that he had given him the task to prove that matter and energy were interchangeable and that he had successfully done it. Tesla himself says that yes this is doable and I have done it well before Einstein, well before the famous E = MC^2 becomes popular in the minds of people, he's already achieved that, demonstrated it not as a theory which is what, E = MC ^2 represents. It's just a theory, he has done it with his technology to demonstrate it.

Sraddhalu (0:38:50):

So Tesla was deeply involved in the Vedantic studies. There is a letter of correspondence between Tesla and a British scientist by the name, Kelvin, Lord Kelvin. He writes to Tesla thanking him for hosting him. He had met him. They had many discussions. Now he is going back to England. He has gone back and he receives from Tesla a crate full of books, a parcel of books. He lists four or five of the books. They are all about Eastern philosophy, which Tesla is sending him after a conversation they have had. And he says all the way back on the ship, I was thinking about how the Ether could be the basis for electromagnetic interactions. Now all this points to a whole different class of science based on the Ether which they were working on. All of the then physics was built on the ether and perfectly correlated with the Vedantic thought and the Vedic physics which is ether based. As of 1905, after Einstein's special relativity, the ether is thrown out. And today if you mention the word, your paper will not be published. And this is why, why am I saying all this? This is to show you the gatekeepers of knowledge. They do not want you to know the deeper ranges of science on which the whole of that physics was based, on which Tesla's physics was based and all the other scientists and they were based on these deeper ancient Vedic traditions.

Now to highlight this further, there is a quotation from Tesla where he speaks of how the knowledge of the Yugas and the cycle of Kalpas and the underlying Akasha, that is the Ether principle, all of these are the most, the only meaningful explanation for universe and reality. I have seen in one of Tesla's patents, because I have studied a lot of them, looking for clues of what he was doing and the kinds of things he did. In one of his patents I have seen, he writes, and this is all about to do with energy transmission, and he writes, the ancient Vedic philosophy, I am now paraphrasing, the ancient Vedic philosophy of an underlying Akasha and a Prana which creates whirls in the Akasha to form atoms and particles is the only sensible explanation for matter. And there he has used these words Akasha and Prana and the Vedic theory and so on. Why is he writing this in his patents? One of the things he realized very quickly, they could burn his laboratory and notes, but the patents once filed are public document. So what he did was, he hid all his knowledge, including some of his advanced concepts, into his patents. Now for a patent of technology, you just need to say, here's how you do it, this is patented. Why is he describing this theory? Because he wants you to understand how he thinks. What is the basis of his technology? And once you begin to catch that, you can say, oh now we understand how his transmitter worked, how he extracted energy, how he did this, what was the source of that light, and why the light has the color of the Sun because it is using exactly the same electrical process that is in the Sun now replicated here in his bulb.

And so the whole, let's say the gates begin to open and so the gatekeepers need to close the gates. So they needed to suppress Tesla's importance to that age, to push him out as a foreigner, not a citizen. His paper is still classified by the Air Force of all things, because there is something involved with flying and with related technologies and I suppose the death ray also and he is somehow buried in the textbooks. The only place you find his name is in the measure, the unit of measure of magnetism where the unit is called a Tesla, in remembrance of him or in little curiosity which is called Tesla coil, which produce high voltages. The interesting thing of the Tesla coil is, to this day, nobody has been able to create an equation which describes perfectly the Tesla coil behavior. If you take a standard transformer, you have an input, you have an output, the proportion of the turns makes for the proportion of the voltage change. Based on the core and its material properties, you can calculate the efficiency, frequency, optimum performance etc. all reduced to mathematics. But the Tesla coil, unusually, has one coil of just two turns, another coil of many many many turns, but it's not so much the turns, but the total length of wire which is critical, which matches the resonant frequency of light speed inside the wire, so that effectively the electricity moving back and forth from one end to the other is resonating and just these two turns at a huge distance are pulsing like his earthquake machine. They are pulsing softly with a little bit of energy and what's built up here is a humongous energy, humongous movement which creates shooting lightning bolts, thrown out in 6 inches, 12 inches depending on your design and its efficiency. It does not work like a conventional transformer. It's based on the resonance of the earthquake machine principle. How a tiny action repeated with a very little energy can produce a ripple in the ambient ether and shake it up in a way that produces these lightning bursts. So all of this is part of a technology which has been held back. And of course there would be other things which he has done later which we don't even know about. Yes?

Audience (Joel) (0:45:09):
It seems that one of the government agents who recuperated the documents and design of Tesla just after his death is the uncle of the actual President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Sraddhalu (0:45:21):
Interesting!

Audience (0:45:22):
Donald Trump has just launched one or two years back his space force. Do you think some disclosure should come out and we could see those technologies?

Sraddhalu (0:45:33):
It's an interesting connection that when Tesla's papers were seized, the person who was put in charge of going through the papers to separate out the technologies which needed to be classified from the rest was a scientist by the name Trump, whose brother's son is the current US Prime Minister Donald Trump, President Donald Trump, and he knew his uncle well enough that he might have heard interesting things from him or perhaps his uncle's job was to classify and he was not allowed to speak. But it's quite possible that there is some knowledge that is passed on in the family and it's interesting that in his inauguration speech, is that the right word, inaugural speech of his government, Trump made the statement that we are on the threshold of new technologies and new technologies for health and energy which will change human possibilities. So maybe there's an intention to bring to disclosure some of these things, but I believe the gatekeepers are strong and even disclosure would have to go through smaller steps even if it's heated up.

One of the things you do see today for example which is heading to a disclosure is the reality of life on other planets. In the last three years, a series of shifts in NASA's statements. Now suddenly they discover Mars has lots of water, Venus has lots of water, the moon has lots of water, so many moons of Jupiter and Saturn are full of water. Water seems to be everywhere in the universe. Whereas barely four years ago the picture given was, water is nowhere. And now they say Mars has so much water if you dig down barely six inches you find water. So you can just dig down and drink water. It's that easy almost. And when they made that movie about someone going to Mars it was like a dry desert that they had. We have had earlier a discussion about extraterrestrial life and you might want to see some of that if you have not seen it but the fact that suddenly there's this picture changing of water being available everywhere, new planets being discovered which are earth-like, coming every few months in the newspaper, it's all as if preparing you to realise that, preparing you for the disclosure of life. It will start with discovering bacteria on Mars perhaps and NASA's head, what's his designation, I don't know his designation, the president of NASA, whatever the head is, he made a statement a few months ago that we are in the threshold of discovery of life but we are totally unprepared for it. Within two years we will definitely find proof of life on Mars. He said it like that as openly as you can get. And NASA is just launching or has just launched a spacecraft which will look for signs of life on the Martian surface. Whereas so far all the crafts they sent for landing did not carry the necessary means for life measurement, intentionally perhaps. And the last one which went was sniffing out methane and suddenly finds there are seasonal fluctuations of methane in the air which only points to life. There's no other way that seasonally methane increases or drops. But it's very very small so we don't know where it comes from. That's the current explanation. So we're being prepared. So in spite of the big gatekeepers who would rather delay things and hold back technology, there are those who are slowly pushing forward and one can hope that it will happen sooner rather than later.

Narad (0:49:26):
Is there any voice today promoting the future in technology?

Sraddhalu (0:49:33):
Yes there are. There are plenty of voices. Unfortunately though, the authorities are more deceptive. Because the gatekeepers ensure that the authorities are the ones that they control. So they give you a picture which, as if misdirects your attention. And the real visionaries  are the ones who are not officially heads of the field, who are often treated as on the side, fringe, on the fringe is the right word. If you look at some of the fringe visionaries, you get glimpses and they are the ones who are right. And a lot of it is happening in a soft disclosure through television and science fiction. One of them was very interesting. You remember there was this big movie which was made about an alien invasion, which was Independence Day. Okay. It was about bad guys coming and how they're blown up with a nuclear bomb so nuclear energy saves us. That was the first narrative. Then they made Independence Day part two, and in that it starts with this opening scene where from the crashed ET craft they have been able to reverse engineer all the technologies. Now they have flying saucers, flying disks, they have a base on the moon, and the hero of the Independence Day 2 is flying these devices. And all of us have undergone a massive shift within a few years because of reverse engineered alien technology. Interesting!

Sraddhalu (0:51:10):
And it was one of those disclosure suggestions saying, you know what, all we need is a little bit of that and we can make a radical change. Of course the fact is we have had many alien crafts which have crashed, which have been recovered, and technologies have been reversed engineered. It's not something new. The incident in Roswell was one of the famous ones, but there have been many others.

Narad (0:51:44 ):

In summarisation, can you say little of the Supramental's effect on the world today?

Sraddhalu (0:51:52):

The supramental consciousness being essentially a consciousness of oneness there's nothing which is hidden, all is known, all is revealed. So increasingly as the supramental consciousness begins to influence the mind of humanity and then the life of humanity, one of the results is that things come out into the open. And the Mother spoke of this. She said that because of the supramental action, a day will come when you will not be able to keep secrets. What's happening now, of course you can still say it's happening through the mobile phones and the data being taken into centralised servers, you're being monitored, that's one side, but the other side is on the level of pure psychology, ideas are open and the framework of the internet allows you to exchange ideas freely, bypassing mainstream media, bypassing mainstream gatekeepers and authorities. And so what is fringe today, called fringe by the gatekeepers, actually is mainstream at the level of common man in many areas. It's just that we are told that is fringe when in fact they are the ones who are pretty much locked up, locked up. And at some point the number of people who are already thinking differently will grow so large that you will have a sudden shift and the gatekeepers will become irrelevant. Or they will be just thrown aside and even that may happen in steps.

So first a layer of disclosure and then another and another but it will speed up. I want to share with you a graphic, which shows how a disruptive technology starts small, then it hits a level which is about 20% when it suddenly begins to shoot up. It hits 80% usage, and after that, it has completely destroyed the old technology, and it goes in a vertical direction. Mobile phones will be something like that. When they first came in, only the most wealthy could afford. You didn't have enough transmitters. You had large areas where you had no signal and then it suddenly began to pick up and it went from the 20% to 80% very rapidly within three, four, five years at most. And then now it's like you can't live without a mobile phone. You must have one. It doesn't matter how powerful it is. You must have it. And then all the other things suddenly have been thrown out. The landline based connection is just reduced to high-speed internet at best but you don't really use it for the primary purpose for which it was made. Now if you see the track of a disruptive technology like this in the curve and you see disruptive technology over the last hundred years, you see one happening and then 20 years later another, 10 years later another, 5 years later another and then a cluster of them in the next 3 years and a cluster of them in the next 2 years and it's as if the pace of disruptive technologies is increasing, but also they are happening more fast but also they're rising more rapidly in steepness.

So it's as if the technology has got sufficiently subtilized or virtualized that now all you need to do so much more. Or in the manufacturing state, in the manufacturing machinery where you make your mobile phones, you just have to tweak the design a little bit and suddenly you have a radically new technology. If you look at the transition from 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G, what has changed? The chip is exactly the same. The broadcasting antenna is exactly the same. The only thing is the software and maybe some of the software is optimised on the chip level. So you have dedicated transmitters, dedicated processes for 4G, 5G etc. But inherently nothing new. So it's as if you're able to implement it faster and make radical changes faster. If you remember when Tata came out with the Nano car, they had been manufacturing regular cars and the dream of Ratan Tata was to make a car that could have, carry a whole family of four, parents and two children, but at a price of car price point less than 100,000 rupees. Which at that point was about thousand five hundred dollars. Let's say Less than two thousand dollars. Can you have a car for less than two thousand dollars? Which will equally perform as well as any other car. Of course it will be a little smaller, etc. So he had a team working on this. The team made at least 30 patents of novel inventions. Now think about it, no one has tried this before. You think no one else could have done it? Just nobody chose to do it. Once he decided to do it, they made all the necessary innovations, 30 new patents. Then what does he do? He has his people design the car down to the components, test it through simulators. You've never made a physical car, you've tested it on a simulation level, optimise it on the simulation level. You do a crash testing, the car hits a wall and you see the stress patterns going into the windscreen, within the frame of the metal, frame of the car, the plastic, the doors, see where they crumple when something hits on the side, stand on those parts, run the simulation, everything is done virtually. The design is done virtually and then he has already a supply chain making regular cars. They send the design to those people. The parts come back, assemble it, you have a working prototype, you make one last test, pass it through the qualifying requirements for the government, there you have to have a physical car, it's done and you switch on the manufacturing chain, and you are churning out cars. The whole thing from beginning to end could be done within a year.

Sraddhalu (0:57:50):

Imagine what it was earlier to design a car, what it took, how difficult it was. So it's as if the technology has reached a point where the ability to create a new technology and make a disruptive change takes less and less time. So what you see in this graph is where earlier the curve was like this, it is becoming steeper and more frequent until it's become almost vertical. And the point of verticality is now, let's say in the next two years, where if you did nothing, just looking at this graph, it would look like you're heading for a massive shift. And some of it is going to be just the transition to electric cars and the solar energy based society and so on. But other things will be other disruptive technologies. We are yet to fully appreciate what. Batteries for example is one of the disruptive technologies They've been suppressed for the last 20 years. Elon Musk was about to buy one of the most advanced battery technologies for some billion dollars and an unknown person, anonymous, bid higher than him to buy it out and suppress it, to kill it. That would have allowed a threefold or fivefold increase in the battery power. But already in India, in IIT Madras, I believe it is Madras, in IIT Madras, they created an iron-based battery. You do not need expensive lithium, you do not need those rare earth metals. Iron-based battery which has higher repeatability, that means you can charge and discharge. Typically your lithium-ion batteries last thousand charge discharge cycles. This can go for 50 times more, is cheaper in cost and is non-polluting. Now if this could be done in IIT Madras, do you think, and it's not one of the most advanced labs, do you think it couldn't be done in one of the most advanced labs? And having done this, somehow it's not being taken up.

It should have been patented by now and if this is a few months old information, by now the most advanced labs should have been concentrating to optimise this technology. But they will not. Because if you do this, then you will have cheap, more efficient batteries all over, replicable all over. Lithium-ion batteries are prized because the lithium supply of the world is controlled. So the price can be artificially raised. The same way as you control oil flow to raise the oil prices. But iron, you cannot control because it is there everywhere. It is the most abundant element on earth. So that technology must be suppressed. But hopefully with this point of transition which we are approaching, we will have capability for people to pick up the technology. Oh here, they did it, maybe I can replicate. And maybe people will do it in a garage, I don't know. So we are at a point of transition and that's why I'm pointing to the supramental force action to bring transparency where nothing can be hidden, including technological capability and knowledge and discoveries. And when that becomes reasonably open, the gatekeepers will become irrelevant. Humanity will just bypass them and we will have much more rapid progress and open transparent evolution of technologies and with it of course knowledge and with it hopefully the inner awakening will follow. Otherwise just an external technological shift without inner change would only destroy us. Sri Aurobindo in his description of the ideal of human unity, describing all these dangers, he says the only thing which can prevent these dangers from destroying things, will be if there is a sufficiently radical change in consciousness and the supramental consciousness is working for that first and foremost. That being made, the rest will be inevitable.
