Yet behind the patents, dynamos, and high-frequency coils lay a man whose true laboratory was not built of iron, copper, and glass, but of pure consciousness. Tesla was, in the most authentic hermetic sense, a solitary adept—a practitioner of rigorous cognitive asceticism whose daily mental disciplines transformed the human mind into a crystal-clear receiver tuned to the cosmic reservoir of knowledge.
