A description of the experience
From Ingo Swann – To Kiss the Earth Goodbye
….in 1882, on a late February afternoon in the city park at Budapest, Tesla was strolling with a friend named Szigeti. He was recovering from a malady that was never successfully diagnosed by doctors, an illness that had nearly cost him his life.
Overhead a sunset was spreading across the evening sky in a majesty that must have been absolute. Tesla was reciting poetry, a favourite hobby.
The sky apparently reminded him of some lines in Goethe's Faust and with waving arms he gazed up to the setting sun and addressed some of Goethe's beautiful poetry.
Suddenly he fell into what appeared to be a moment of supreme concentration, from which his friend Szigeti was unable to remove him - even by shaking him physically.
No one knows exactly what went on in Tesla's mind or within the realms of his paranormal vision at that moment. The reports differ, but it seems likely that, for a brief instant, Tesla was able to perceive almost the totality of the electromagnetic functioning of the Solar System. Prior to this experience he had apparently been trying to solve the intricacies of a system of alternating current, and this seems to have been foremost in his mind. Certainly, descending from this moment of sublime cognition came the solution for this system, and he was able to construct one soon after.
To this supreme moment; therefore, the world owes one of its most practical scientific discoveries. Tesla was to indicate later that not only the solution for the alternating current but all his subsequent discoveries, as well as his dedication to bringing them about, had their origin in that brief moment when he "went" to the sun and "saw" how it all worked.
