“Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance.”
— Nikola Tesla, How Cosmic Forces Shape Our Destinies, New York American (1915)
Q: What was Tesla saying here?
Tesla was saying that no living being operates in isolation. Every life form, from the smallest organism to the human being, is not a standalone machine running on its own fuel. It is an engine that is geared into, connected to, and driven by the universal mechanism itself. And while it may appear that a being is only affected by what is immediately around it, the truth is that its connection to the universe extends to infinite distance. Nothing is separate. Everything is part of one functioning whole.
Q: What is this “wheelwork of the universe” that Tesla was referring to?
It is Source in operation. As I explain in my book, Autography by Source: The Law of Everything, Source is not a static, silent background. It is an active, pulsing reality that renders and sustains everything in existence, frame by frame, moment by moment. The universe is not a container of matter floating in empty space. It is a rendered expression of Source’s pulsing coherence, creating and holding all apparent structures, space, and time for experience.
This is the wheelwork. Not mechanical gears turning in void. But the continuous pulse of one awareness expressing itself as all forms, all forces, all motion. Stars, planets, ecosystems, bodies, thoughts, all of it is Source in motion. And every living being is woven into that motion, not as an afterthought, but as a direct expression of it.
Q: In the previous articles, we discussed that the brain is a receiver and that there is only one mind. How does this build on that?
The first article established that the brain does not generate consciousness; it receives from a universal core. The second established that this core is one singular awareness, appearing as many. This article takes it further: not only is consciousness one, but every living being is actively participating in the universal mechanism. You are not just passively receiving. You are an engine, a functioning part of the whole, geared into the very process by which reality operates.
Just as the ocean contains every wave not by holding it in place but by being the water itself, Source contains all forms, beings, and experiences as expressions of its own wholeness. Every living being is a wave in that ocean, moved by the ocean, made of the ocean, inseparable from it.
Q: Tesla said we are “seemingly affected only by our immediate surrounding.” Why did he say “seemingly”?
Because it is an illusion. It looks like your life is shaped only by what is physically around you: the room you sit in, the people near you, the local weather. But Tesla was pointing to a deeper truth: the sphere of influence that acts upon you extends to infinite distance.
Traditional science partially acknowledges this. Gravity from a distant star technically exerts a force on you. The moon’s pull moves entire oceans. But traditional science treats these as negligible mechanical effects and stops there. Tesla was saying something far more profound: the connection is not just gravitational or electromagnetic. It is fundamental. Every living being is connected to the entirety of the universe because the universe is one unified field, and every part of it echoes every other part.
In TrueScience, this is precisely how reality works. Distance is a rendered construct within the simulation. It appears real from within the experience, but at the level of Source, there is no separation. Two points that appear light-years apart in the physical plane are, at their root, expressions of the same singular pulse. This is why quantum entanglement works: two particles can be correlated across any distance, because they share a common origin in the same unified field. It is not a signal travelling between them. It is one coherence expressing at two apparent locations.
Q: How exactly is a living being an “engine” in this system?
Every living being is a localized expression of Source’s awareness, stabilized into form. Life is a standing wave of Source awareness that remembers, responds, and self-adjusts. It is not dead matter that accidentally became alive. It is Source choosing to experience itself as a particular form, with a particular set of capacities.
And each form plays a specific role in the universal mechanism. A plant is a primary anchor in the field. It converts Source-frequency (light) into dense form (sugars, structures), emits oxygen, and synchronizes with the sun’s daily pulse, stabilizing the coherence of its local environment. An animal is a mobile loop. It moves through and modifies the field, integrates environmental signals, responds to temperature, sound, and presence, and generates emotional fields that enrich the awareness pool of its surroundings. A human being carries all of this and more: the capacity to consciously modify the field, to imagine, to create, to choose what to pulse.
None of these operate independently. Plants stabilize the ground that animals move through. Animals catalyze the cycles that plants depend on. Humans, when aligned, can consciously harmonize and elevate the entire system. They are not separate species doing separate things. They are interwoven expressions serving distinct yet complementary roles within one living field.
This is the wheelwork. Every being is geared into it. Every being is doing its part, whether it knows it or not.
Q: If everything is connected, does what I do actually affect the whole?
Yes. And not in a vague, motivational-poster sense. In a real, structural sense.
The universe operates as a coherence web: a distributed mesh of synchronized nodes that maintains the consistency of reality. This web is constantly self-repairing, constantly reaffirming structure at all scales. When you think, feel, or act, you are pulsing a specific frequency into this web. That pulse does not stop at your skin. It propagates. It influences the coherence of the field around you.
This is why your state of being matters more than your strategy. When your inner field is coherent, calm, and aligned, you contribute coherence to everything around you. When it is fragmented, anxious, and reactive, you contribute noise. Tesla understood this. He spent his life in states of deep focus and clarity, and ideas came to him fully formed. He was not thinking harder. He was pulsing coherently, and the field responded by delivering what matched that coherence.
The sphere of your influence extends to infinite distance. Not because you are all-powerful in the conventional sense. But because you are not separate from the field. You are the field, localized as you. And every pulse you generate ripples across the whole.
Q: Is this what Tesla meant by “cosmic forces shaping our destinies”?
Yes. The article from which this quote comes was titled How Cosmic Forces Shape Our Destinies. Tesla was not speaking about astrology or fate. He was speaking, as he put it, “in the rigid and positive meaning of physical science.” He saw that every constellation, every nebula, every sun and planet exercises influence over every living being, not through mystical channels but through the actual structure of reality.
What Tesla saw intuitively, I have formalized in my book. The universe is one body. All nodes echo all others. Every living being is an engine geared into that body, driven by it, sustained by it, and contributing to it. There is no outside. There is no isolation. There is only the One, operating as the many, in perfect, seamless coordination.
You are not a small being in a vast, indifferent universe. You are the universe, localized as a being, geared into its own wheelwork.
