“I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman. And she loved me.
When she was dying, she came to my room, there was a fire in her eyes, firm and brilliant a fire of a kind that has never been seen in this world.
Right then and there, I understood that my life’s work was done.”
Nikola Tesla
Some people feel the world in an unbearable way. For them, an average feeling has layers that the majority of people cannot understand.
Also, once a person’s awareness crosses a certain level, that person no longer gains energy from being with people but from being alone.
As for people like Tesla, solitude is not a lack of something, it is a kind of refuge at a high frequency level.
Such people see what most don’t; they hear meaning even when there are no words.
And sometimes such sensitivity becomes too strong for the human relationships.
That is the reason why some people don’t direct their love to a human being but to a pigeon, a cat, a dog, a being that is indestructible, does not have expectations, and lives on a higher frequency.
In psychology, this is referred to as a sublimated love object.
An individual cannot inside himself/herself give unconditional love that he/ she is not yet able to embody and so he/she projects it onto a harmless symbol.
As an individual’s awareness grows, this will no longer be a defensive mechanism but a spiritual channel.
Actually, Tesla’s pigeon was his soul’s way of bringing to the Earth the energy of love.
Lonely people are not lonely because they lack something but because they have too much inside of them.
Their brains are attuned to silence, their hearts, to purity of frequency.
Those who do not get love from a person but from an idea, a meaning, or an animal are standing on the gate of love beyond the human one.
This is the point where madness and divine consciousness almost touch each other.
The reason why pure love is not considered a goal is that it is a state of vibration.
So the place where you find that condition in any person or thing that is where your own awareness comes back.
Maybe Tesla was not falling in love with a pigeon, but with the element of pure love that was inside him.
And maybe when every one of us discovers our own pigeon, we will be able to grasp the meaning of being whole.
Sometimes a person doesn’t love another but only the fact that they are in love with themselves.
