Happy birthday to a futurist that has inspired me for as long as I can remember, Nikola Tesla! Although he had some quirky aspects and beliefs that were sometimes questionable, Tesla dedicated most of his life to making the world a better place (take a look at his hefty patent list) and made some interesting friends along the way. For example, scroll to the third picture to see Tesla presenting his friend, Mark Twain, a demonstration of wireless electricity. If you are looking to update your reading list, I recommend his book The Problem of Increasing Human Energy Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it. - Nikola Tesla - @michio_kaku on Instagram

A double whammy in Birthdays today; Mark Rothko and Robert Bresson. I ran across this description of Bresson and thought it could also be about Rothko “the filmmaker has attained an even deeper mystique, compelling viewers to project their own emotional and psychological interpretations onto his spare images. Perhaps that was the point all along: the ascetic, objective and sparse nature of his work creates a wide canvas that invites and envelopes the careful viewer, and leaves us enraptured.” #bornthisday #markrothko #robertbresson #auhazardbalthazar #annewiazemsky #pickpocket #thetrialofjoanofarc #l’agent #diaryofacountrypriest - @dimitri_unique on Instagram

Juan Cristóbal Gundlach. #Aniversario 2️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ de su #nacimiento. . Marburgo, #Alemania🇩🇪, 1️⃣7️⃣ de julio de 1️⃣8️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ –La Habana, #Cuba🇨🇺, 1️⃣5️⃣ de marzo de 1️⃣8️⃣9️⃣6️⃣ . Fueron muchas las localidades exploradas por este naturalista alemán a lo largo y ancho de la isla de Cuba. A partir de sus observaciones y estudios una buena parte de la fauna cubana quedó referida en diferentes monografías que abarcan casi todos los órdenes zoológicos. En ellas puede encontrarse, desde las características propias de cada especie #animal, con sus descripciones, sinonimia y costumbres, hasta notas que llaman la atención sobre la extinción de algunas y el modo de evitarlo. La #flora, aunque no fue objeto de sus investigaciones, quedó también incluida en su obra en anotaciones de carácter #ecológico. La #geografía, el #clima, y otros elementos de nuestro medio, de igual forma, están presentes en sus trabajos científicos. . #FANJCuba #YoMeSumoAlViaje #AntonioNúñezJinénez #SacaTuLadoExplorador #JuanCristóbalGundlach - @fanjcuba on Instagram

What would you do after finding out youve been awarded the Nobel Prize? A true scientist, Albert Einstein wrote a manuscript regarding the theory of general relativity. Einstein discovered he had been awarded the 1921 Physics Prize when travelling in Southeast Asia. He then started work on a new manuscript which incorporated a variant of his theory of general relativity. Next month well find out who has been awarded this years Physics Prize. . . . #NobelPrize #Nobel #award #announcement #celebration #research #science #discovery #knowledge #Einstein - @nobelprize_org on Instagram

Manly P. Hall (March 18, 1901-August 29, 1990) Dr. Stephan Hoeller recently visited PRS to record a lecture in Halls honor on the importance of cultivating ones own philosophy of life. In his work My Philosophy of Life, Hall wrote A mature philosophy of life originates in a natural thoughtfulness. To live without thinking is to fail in the proper use of the powers and faculties with which we have been endowed. To think without applying our thoughts to the conduct of our affairs is to substitute mere intellectualism for intelligence. It is seldom possible to perfect a personal philosophy without study, through which we become familiar with the deepest and noblest convictions of mankind. We must also call upon daily experience, by which we can convince ourselves of the reality and integrity of certain basic principles ever present and forever true. Beyond both study and experience are the internal faculties of the soul, and these must bestow final certitude upon our convictions. If, therefore, we live simply and wisely, seeking first the improvement of our inner lives, reserving an open heart and mind, we shall be guided and directed according to our needs and understanding. Join us for the premiere of this recorded lecture on Esoteric Wisdom in a Time of Crisis: meeting the current health crisis and cultural turmoil with the aid of Manly P. Hall’s spiritual legacy 8/29 at 7:30pm PT on the PRS YouTube channel. More info at prs.org About the speaker: Stephan A. Hoeller was Manly P. Halls principal lecturing associate at PRS for over 20 years. He is a noted scholar and lecturer on Gnosticism and the message of C.G. Jung. He is the author of five books and President of Besant Lodge of the Theosophical Society on Beachwood Drive in Hollywood. - @philosophical_research_society on Instagram

- Who was Eise Eisenga and what made him build the oldest still working planetarium in the world? It was the prediction of a priest in 1774 that the apocalypse was near due to celestial body alignment. That drove Eisenga to build it. The priest caused a turmoil and Eise was able to put that to rest.
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either. - Mark Twain - #MarkTwain #MarkTwainQuotes #Quotes #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday https://www.facebook.com/MarkTwainQuotes/ - @marktwain.quotes on Instagram
