Beyond the Current: Unraveling the True Relationship Between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla Part 1


Listen Later

The famous battle of the inventors: Thomas Edison vs Nikola Tesla. These two historic innovators have been pitted against each other for quite some time in the public eye. Edison has been portrayed as the “bad guy” while Tesla has taken on the role as the “good guy." What if there truly was no rivalry between them? What if they both had respect and admiration for one another? Kelly is going to embark on a journey investigating the lives of both Mr. Edison and Mr. Tesla, getting to know each man on a deeper soul level. During this multi-part podcast series Kelly will be interviewing experts on both inventors to learn more about them from historical documentation and written records. She will also be connecting with each of their consciousness and channeling information to reveal new revelations and insight into the true nature of their history together.

In Part 1, the life of Thomas Edison is investigated from a tangible, historical perspective. Kelly chats with Dr. Paul Israel who has made the study of American invention and innovation his specialty. He is the Director and General Editor of the Thomas A. Edison Papers at Rutgers University. The Edison Papers team has been editing and publishing the 5 million pages of documents that chronicle the extraordinary life and achievements of Thomas Alva Edison. These have remained hidden and inaccessible to members of the general public, until now and they are turning this treasure trove into a premier educational and research resource. The documents include the writings, drawings, and business records of Edison. Paul is also the author of numerous books on the life and inventions of Mr. Edison. 

Paul chats with Kelly about Edison’s fascinating evolution from a blue collar, self-educated, entrepreneurial upbringing to his rise as the Wizard of Menlo Park. Paul discusses Edison’s unique skill for taking ideas and turning them into tangible creation, which is where he and Tesla differed. Paul also shares the truth about their relationship and how their alleged rivalry was concocted by Tesla enthusiasts and the underdog social revolution of modern times. Paul also chats with Kelly about Edison’s curiosity about spiritualism and how that tied into some of his ideas and work.
