Creation and Destiny
Okay, stay with me on this one, it’s going to get weird. Imagine this: It’s 1943, and Nikola Tesla, one of the most brilliant minds in history, dies alone in a New York City hotel room. Within hours, government agents move in, seizing boxes of technical drawings, notes, and inventions rumored to include plans for free energy devices, anti-gravity propulsion, and even time travel. To comb through these papers, they call in a scientist named Dr. John G. Trump, a physicist and electrical engineer with a reputation for handling high-stakes military projects.
But here’s where it gets interesting: John G. Trump wasn’t just any scientist. He was also the uncle of unborn Donald J. Trump, the future 45th and 47th President of the United States. And while the "official report" claimed Tesla’s work held no immediate value, rumors persist that certain inventions—perhaps the most groundbreaking ones—disappeared without a trace. What might have been hidden in Tesla’s work, and why did it vanish?
Fast forward to the 1950s, when a German rocket scientist named Werner von Braun, once a key figure in Hitler’s weapons program, is quietly brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip, a covert effort to recruit Nazi scientists. Von Braun became instrumental in developing rocket technology for NASA, shaping the program that would explore space. But his work wasn’t limited to engineering. Von Braun was deeply versed in propaganda and psychological manipulation—tools he had employed during his time in Nazi Germany to inspire and control public perception. In America, these skills would help craft a narrative of space exploration as not just a scientific endeavor but a cultural and even existential mission for humanity’s future.
In 1948, von Braun wrote The Mars Project, a detailed scientific proposal for human colonization of Mars. The work describes a future Martian government led by an individual referred to as ‘Elon.’ Two decades later, Elon Musk would be born, and today he has become the leading figure in humanity’s real-life quest to reach Mars. Was von Braun simply ahead of his time, or was he shaping the future in ways we’re only now beginning to understand?
But wait—it gets even stranger. In 1893, an author named Ingersoll Lockwood published Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey, a novel chronicling the adventures of a young aristocrat named Baron Trump, guided by his mentor, Don, through time-traveling realms. The parallels to the modern-day Trump family are hard to ignore. Even the book’s cover art bears an eerie resemblance to President Trump’s youngest son, Barron. Adding to the intrigue, Lockwood’s later work, The Last President, describes a contentious election that leads to chaos in New York City, with protesters storming Fifth Avenue, the very location of Trump Tower today.
Is it all just a series of bizarre coincidences? Or are these figures, Tesla, von Braun, Musk, and Trump, somehow connected by a larger, unseen pattern? Do their stories reveal how fiction and reality intertwine in ways we’re only beginning to understand? Does life imitate art, or has art always been the blueprint for life itself? Or perhaps both are guided by something deeper—something just beyond our comprehension.
In this article, we’ll unravel these uncanny links and explore the forces, whether archetypal, spiritual, or unseen, that shape not only history but also the roles we play in it. By the end, we’ll leave you with a powerful realization about how these patterns might apply to your own life—if you’re ready to see them.
I. Tesla’s Missing Inventions and Time Travel
Nikola Tesla wasn’t just an inventor; he was a visionary who seemed almost ahead of his time, or perhaps even outside of it. By the time of his death in 1943, Tesla had amassed a lifetime of ideas that defied the imagination. Among his personal notes were whispers of a ‘death ray’, a weapon so powerful it could make war obsolete, blueprints for wireless energy transmission that could power cities without a single cable, and, most intriguingly, experiments with the manipulation of time and space.
Tesla himself reportedly claimed to have discovered methods to access what he called "the fabric of reality," hinting at the possibility of time travel. In a lesser-known account, Tesla allegedly described an experiment where he subjected himself to high-voltage energy fields, claiming he briefly stepped outside the flow of time. Whether this was science, speculation, or Tesla’s unique brand of genius bordering on madness, one thing is certain: his ideas were considered dangerous enough that the U.S. government seized his papers immediately after his death.
This is where Dr. John G. Trump enters the story. As a respected physicist and electrical engineer, Trump was brought in to review Tesla’s confiscated materials. Officially, his report downplayed Tesla’s inventions, stating they held "no practical value" to national defense. But rumors have persisted for decades that not all of Tesla’s work was accounted for. What might have been hidden or suppressed? And why would the government entrust Tesla’s work to someone like Dr. Trump—a man whose expertise in high-voltage technologies was eerily well-suited to understanding Tesla’s more enigmatic experiments?
What’s even stranger is how Tesla’s rumored experiments with time manipulation align with the themes in Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey. The novel, written half a century earlier, describes a young boy navigating realms that seem to bend time and space, guided by his mentor, Don. Could Tesla’s theories have hinted at such realms, and could Dr. Trump have understood the implications of such knowledge?
While no definitive answers exist, the connection between Tesla’s work, John G. Trump’s involvement, and the parallels in Lockwood’s fiction create a foundation for speculation. Was Tesla simply ahead of his time, or was he tapping into something far more profound, something that the world, even now, isn’t ready to understand?
II. Werner von Braun’s Vision and the “Elon” Connection
By the mid-20th century, the United States found itself racing to dominate space exploration. To achieve this, they turned to some unlikely sources of expertise. Werner von Braun, a German rocket scientist who had been a key figure in Hitler’s weapons program, was quietly brought to the United States through Operation Paperclip, a covert initiative to recruit Nazi scientists. With his unparalleled knowledge of rocket technology, von Braun became the driving force behind NASA’s space program, shaping the Apollo missions and laying the groundwork for humanity’s ventures into space.
But von Braun’s past as a member of the Nazi Party and his work on Hitler’s missile programs raise questions about the legacy he left behind. Beyond engineering, von Braun was deeply skilled in propaganda, crafting narratives that inspired loyalty and belief in grand visions. It’s no stretch to wonder how much of that influence carried over into the shaping of America’s space race, and whether those same narratives continue to echo today.
In 1948, von Braun authored The Mars Project, a detailed vision of humanity’s colonization of Mars. His study described a future Martian government led by a figure referred to as "Elon." At the time, the name may have seemed insignificant, but today, Elon Musk has become the face of real-life plans to colonize the Red Planet. Musk’s determination to make humanity a multi-planetary species mirrors von Braun’s imagined future so closely that it’s hard to dismiss as a coincidence.
However, this connection becomes even more provocative when viewed through the lens of von Braun’s controversial history. Is Musk unknowingly following a path laid out for him decades before his time, a vision conceived by a man whose influence extended beyond science to shaping cultural and political narratives? And what does it mean when figures like von Braun, whose legacy is inseparable from his role in a dark chapter of history, leave behind ideas that continue to shape the future?
Musk himself has sparked his share of controversy. From his polarizing public statements to symbolic moments that have drawn intense criticism. Moments like his recent gesture at the inauguration, invite speculation about the forces shaping his public persona. Is Musk simply a man inspired by visionaries like von Braun, or is he unknowingly fulfilling a role scripted long before his time? Does the uncanny alignment of von Braun’s fictional ‘Elon’ with Musk’s real-life trajectory suggest a deeper pattern, or could it reflect the influence of unseen forces, whether guided by alignment, spirit, or something altogether more complex, perhaps even consuming?
III. Baron Trump, The Last President, and Prophetic Fiction
Long before Tesla’s experiments or von Braun’s Mars vision, a curious set of books was published in the late 19th century by a lawyer-turned-author named Ingersoll Lockwood. The first, Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey (1893), tells the story of a young aristocrat named Baron Trump who goes on an adventure through mysterious underground worlds. Guided by his mentor, Don, Baron navigates realms that seem to exist beyond the constraints of time and space, where knowledge and reality are far more fluid than they appear.
While the story is whimsical in nature, the parallels to modern-day figures are hard to ignore. The young Baron Trump’s name alone draws obvious comparisons to President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron. Even more striking, the illustrations in the book bear an uncanny resemblance to the boy. But it’s the deeper themes—time travel, hidden realms, and a mentor named Don—that make the connections feel almost too strange to dismiss. Could Lockwood have stumbled upon something prophetic, or is this yet another example of archetypes replaying themselves across history?
Lockwood’s later work, The Last President (1896), takes the uncanny parallels even further. In this story, America is thrown into chaos after the election of an outsider candidate who rises to power against all odds. Protesters take to the streets, particularly on Fifth Avenue in New York City, the very location of Trump Tower today. The book describes widespread unrest and a divided nation grappling with change, eerily mirroring the political climate of the modern era.
What makes these connections even stranger is their alignment with Tesla’s rumored experiments. If Tesla’s work truly explored bending time and space, could these books hint at the idea of repeating timelines or shared patterns of consciousness? After all, Lockwood’s protagonist, guided by "Don," finds himself in worlds that challenge his understanding of reality, worlds not unlike those described in speculative accounts of Tesla’s work or the archetypal roles fulfilled by figures like von Braun and Musk.
What’s more, Lockwood’s stories force us to ask a deeper question: Are these connections just coincidences, or are they the echoes of something larger, something weaving fiction and history into a recurring narrative of interconnected events? Whether it’s Baron Trump’s underground journey, The Last President’s chaotic future, or the visions of Tesla and von Braun, the lines between imagination and reality seem to blur.
IV. Life, Art, and the Patterns We Choose to Follow
From Tesla’s bold visions of free energy to von Braun’s calculated engineering of narratives, and from Lockwood’s prophetic fiction to Musk’s meteoric rise, these stories suggest a world where history, science, and imagination converge. But if there’s one lesson to be drawn, it’s that these patterns don’t dictate our destinies—they invite us to see the forces shaping them and decide how we respond.
Tesla’s experiments with time and energy, for example, were rooted in the belief that humanity could transcend its limitations, harnessing the forces of the universe for good. He operated on a frequency far beyond the physical realm, guided not by power or control but by an understanding of the infinite potential we all possess. Figures like von Braun and Musk, on the other hand, remind us that alignment with certain forces—whether for ambition, innovation, or influence—can shape their paths, but not necessarily for higher purposes. This distinction matters: not all who echo patterns of history or align with archetypes do so from a place of light.
And that’s the deeper question these mysteries pose: How do we align ourselves with the patterns of life? Are we simply shaped by the world around us, or do we have the power to shape the stories we live out? Tesla’s life offers a reminder that true transcendence begins not with external power but with tapping into the energy of creation itself—the unseen, universal forces that exist within and around us all. It’s not the archetype we follow but the intention we bring to it that determines whether we elevate the world or fall prey to its illusions.
For the reader, this means something profound: These stories aren’t just about Tesla, von Braun, Musk, or even Trump. They’re about the roles we all play in the larger narratives of our lives. The patterns are always there—whether in our habits, thoughts, or the archetypes we unconsciously align with—but it’s our awareness of them that transforms them into something meaningful. By recognizing the patterns shaping our own paths, we can choose to align with forces that uplift and expand rather than those that merely replicate or control.
So, does life imitate art, or has art always been the blueprint for life itself? Or perhaps the more empowering question is this: Are we ready to stop just reflecting the patterns we inherit and instead rise to create new ones, ones guided by clarity, purpose, and the boundless potential that Tesla believed exists within each of us?
The answer, as always, lies in what we choose to see, align with, and ultimately create.
