Tesla knew about the Rule of Threes. Or, should I say, he was inspired to know about it.
But his understanding of it was quite infantile. Narrow minds often lack the grander imagery ('vision') required to decipher the languages of creation.
He tried to 'jumpstart' the pattern by becoming the initiating variable himself, where most of his peculiar behavior came from; or never thought anything finished until he had closed out the pattern himself - such as obsessing with washing the dishes to a total of 9.
This is futile, of course, and an obsessive mind rarely reaches down to the true meaning of a thing.
Once you've observed the pattern - you must also know that you're beyond the pattern. And once you're beyond the pattern, you no longer belong to it.
You belong to another pattern, that you are neither aware or in control of. The empirical mind struggles to both comprehend or accept this. It requires surety and logic.
But the very act of you interfering with the pattern, inevitably, alters it - changes it.
Many thought-engineers go insane trying to explain this. Their ego minds cannot comprehend that the symptoms of the universe change alongside them.
They wish to think that they've figured creation out on a formulaic scale. This is, in fact, impossible.
You may "feel" the future, but you cannot change it. All you do is readjust the same outcome.
Know that awareness brings change. It brings change within the observer and, thusly, without him as well.
These are the ripples cast forth by our actions. You will get your chance to fix them, but not before they've taken their course.
When we complicate our lessons, our spiritual advancements, is also when we complicate our journey to the grander truths of, this, our three-dimensional classroom.
Obsession leads to the narrowing of the mind, when the grandiosity of cosmic knowledge requires acceptance and expansion instead.
The more you try to force it, the less it will respond to force.
Awakened, enlightened minds understand that involvement is futile. What is set to occur, always will.
Creation of the new, on the other hand, this is where true agency lies.
That is why we're here in this strange and peculiar place, on Earth, to learn of conscious creation.
True freedom is held within the act of creation, true spiritual [[Agency And Predetermination|agency]] is found within the mastery of nothing.
That is why this world was designed, out of love for us, to teach us exactly that.
