How Nikola Tesla and George Washington are Connected: Remembering Past Lives
Updated: Jun 5, 2025
In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang is able to meet and talk to his past lives, and I had an experience like that too.
I first heard about Nikola Tesla through my ex who was studying electrical engineering at the university where we met. I learned that while Thomas Edison is more widely known and credited, Tesla is the one more revered for his humanitarian ideals and significant contributions to the field. The rivalry between the two is well known.
On a trip to Niagara Falls in Canada, my ex and I came upon a statue of Tesla. As I took a photo of him under the statue, I gazed up at it and felt an elusive sensation stirring deep within. The longer I looked, the more I liked his face. There was something about it that I found familiar and soothing, and I felt a growing fondness.
Tesla was known to be a loner immersed in his work. I asked my ex which he would choose between being a genius and celibate or being an average guy. For some reason, I felt disappointed and a bit upset when he replied that he would most definitely choose to be average. Perhaps because, as I later found out, it would not be the choice I would choose.
Unbeknownst to me, I ended up working at a company that was bought out by a corporation said to be originally founded by Edison. As the subsequent rebranding went underway, a floor to ceiling portrait of Edison with his quote was put up in the entryway. As someone who enjoys the inspiration quotes can bring, I sauntered up to take a closer look. As I read the text, my gaze fell upon Edison. An anger arose in me as I looked into his greedy, beady little eyes. I wanted to punch him in the face.
Whoa, where did that come from? Why did I care so much about an old dead white guy I have never met?
After I quit my job at that company and my spiritual awakening began, I was listening to a Kryon video on YouTube forwarded to me by an acquaintance who said I needed to see it. I listened with an open mind and an amazing thing happened. Kryon mentioned Nikola Tesla and I felt my heart leap out of my chest, do a somersault, and go back in. I have only ever seen that happen in cartoons. I was flooded with joy and I felt so seen and acknowledged. I wasn’t sure what this meant, but I thought perhaps I had a special connection to Tesla, that I was someone near and dear to him in his life.
It slowly dawned on me over time that it was me, my soul. Tesla was my previous incarnation. He died in 1943 and I was born in 1991, a 48-year gap which is a blink of an eye in the spirit realm. I know that my soul incarnated one life after another without a break in between to rest and heal. My soul needed to do it this way to be ready and here in this lifetime at this special time on Earth.
Kryon of Magnetic Service is the being responsible for tending to the electromagnetic fields of Mother Earth. Since Tesla was all about free energy and harnessing it from nature, I wager that he got a lot of his inspiration and ideas directly from Kryon. The two must have been like old pals and that’s why his mention in the video had such a touching effect on my heart.
I recalled that during a trip to New York City, I happened to stop by a building while waiting for the light to change. Suddenly I looked up and noticed a black plaque that mentioned Tesla had lived and died there. I felt energy moving through me and around me as I entered a semi conscious state, my eyes glazing over. The light changed and I walked on, still feeling the energetic shifts.
Upon doing some research, I learned that Tesla had indeed lived and died at the Hotel New Yorker in NYC. I even remember the room he was in, and the bed in the corner, from my soul’s perspective as I floated up and above the scene. His dying regret was neglecting his social life.
I would have thought his regret would be humanity not adopting his ideas and technology. However, it came to me that he fulfilled his mission of bringing all of it to humanity and whether or not they were ready was outside his control.
In fact, he told me himself to make sure I don’t forget about the social aspects in life. Tesla connected with me once during my spiritual awakening. Although he had no children, he tried to be like a father to me, genuinely wanting to help. I was curious about him, but he redirected the attention back to me and my needs and issues.
Given the life and achievements of Tesla, it does make sense that my soul would choose to focus on relationships and community next. I’m a Libra rising with a human design profile of 4/1, a lot of Line 4s in my design, and channel 37/40, all of which emphasize relationships, social networks, friendships, and community.
Given the metaphysical exploration he conducted in his lifetime, I am not surprised that he figured out how to connect with future lives. In fact, his life and mine have a lot of parallels. He briefly worked for Edison, and I worked at his legacy company. Tesla professed love and care for a white pigeon that visited him regularly in his later years. During my childhood, I also fed and built a trusting relationship with a white dove that visited my balcony.
It seems some bonds last across lifetimes…!
I would stick my head out the window and the dove perched on an antenna high atop the building across from our apartment would spot me and swoop down in a long, graceful, undulating flight. I gradually built up to stroking him during feedings. He eventually started bringing his mate as well. I would entice them into the apartment and they entered a few times. Feeding them and seeing them was an attachment that was hard to let go of when I moved from Hungary to Canada.
I once saw someone wearing a T-shirt sporting Tesla’s face on it. As I smiled knowingly at it, I saw Tesla wink back at me. I blinked and looked again, the image staying still this time. His Mona Lisa smile looked like a secret handshake between us.
I also found it really odd that on the About Us page of my favourite crystal store, Nikola Tesla is mentioned without any other context. This store ties in to the beginning of my spiritual awakening, so I believe this coincidence has special meaning.
Having had this experience of putting together puzzle pieces from Spirit and my soul, I was a lot quicker on the uptake when it came to George Washington.
In fact, the only clue I needed was what happened during a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I turned a corner and came upon the display of Washington Crossing the Delaware. I soon exceeded the usual amount of time I spent looking at paintings. Something about this painting captured my attention and rooted me to the spot. I don’t know what it was, I just kept taking it all in. It was difficult to move from the spot, but I eventually did, wondering why.
I did some research on Washington but nothing really stood out to me. I connected with my spirit guides and got the confirmation that what I was speculating was true. He is also a past life of mine. At this point, it was difficult to accept because it seemed grandiose. Not one, but two famous historical figures.
I hesitated initially about writing this piece, again because I didn’t want to come across as grandiose and delusional. My intention is to express myself authentically and be seen for who I am, to attract soul family and friends. It is the truth and I believe there are merits to speaking it. My hope is that reading my posts will trigger some kind of recognition in you too. Seeing yourself in my stories and my journey, commiserating and celebrating over commonly shared experiences. Remembering who we are and what we’re here to do.
