Yes Tesla way ahead of his time - the Russians and the Americans are very interested in developing his technologies. They are powerful stuff like the excerpt you gave mentions. Very dangerous in the wrong hands. The American military are experimenting I believe with laser guns based on his ideas in Iraq... to stun not kill
If you have not noticed there is a Yahoo Forum about Orgonomy - they talk all over the place and some of it might interest you.

Here is something that might wet your appetite that I have just been reading. I am completely fascinated . it reflects my own thinking and self observation studies spiritually and mentially. Have never heard of this guy before - about a guy called Georgy Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. Gurdjieff was Armenian, born 1866
I have copied over just some of the message - its longer than this!
When he died in 1949, a few nights later in New York, a medal was presented to architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After his part in the ceremony was over, Wright asked the chairman's permission to make an announcement. "The greatest man in the world," he said, "has recently died. His name was Gurdjieff.
"G." was a very independent person from the Steppes of Asia.
One book he wrote describes the teachers who influenced his
life (this became a Holywood movie, "Meetings with Remarkable
Men (1979)".
He had many students but his main two were guys called Orage and Ouspensky.
The starting procedure prescribed by Gurdjieff for self-study.
explained by Orage, has said is that man is a mechanical being. He cannot do anything. He has no will. His organism acts without his concurrent awareness and he identifies himself with various parts of this victim of circumstances, his organism. There is only one thing he can try to do. He can try to observe the physical behavior of his organism while at the same time not identifying his 'I' with it. Later he can attempt to observe his emotions and thoughts. The trouble is that he can only fleetingly observe with non-identification, but he must continue to make the effort. It is claimed that this method differs from introspection. The non-identifying feature differentiates it from an apperception. The man who finally succeeds in developing the power of self-observation is on the path to self-knowledge and the actualizing of a higher state of consciousness.
This higher state, which Orage calls "Self-consciousness" or "Individuality," stands to our present waking state as the waking state stands to our state of sleep.
As explained by Ouspensky, there were three main ways to a
higher development of man: the way of the fakir who struggles with the physical body, the way of the monk who subjects all other emotions to the emotion of faith,
and the way of the yogi who develops his mind. But these ways produce lopsided men; they produce the "stupid fakir," the "silly saint," the "weak yogi." There is a fourth way, that of Gurdjieff, in which the student continues in his usual life-circumstances but strives for a harmonious development of his physical, emotional and intellectual life-the non-monastic "way of the sly man." The
accent was on harmonious, all-around development.
