Did Tesla Say “3, 6 and 9” Are the Key to the Universe? What His Own Writings Show
Not supported No writing, interview or letter from Tesla's lifetime is known to contain the 3-6-9 line, and the earliest dated copy AKASHA has found is a blog post of December 2009 that names no source; the energy line rests on a single recollection that cannot be checked. Tesla's autobiography of 1919 records that as a child he needed repeated acts to be divisible by three, and that he never found evidence for spiritual phenomena; the doubling pattern is a property of writing numbers in base ten.
Is “The Kybalion” Ancient? The 1908 Book and the Hermetic Sources
Not supported The Kybalion was published in Chicago in 1908 and names no surviving source: by its own account its maxims were never written down, and no earlier text of that name is known. The Greek and Latin Hermetic writings, composed in the first centuries CE, share some of its themes, above all God as Mind, but contain neither its seven Principles nor its maxims, and “As above, so below” shortens a line of the Emerald Tablet, a separate text first known in Arabic.
Nibiru and “The Twelfth Planet”: What the Babylonian Sources Say
Not supported In the cuneiform texts nēberu, "crossing", is a name for a visible star of the god Marduk, usually the planet Jupiter, and for a station Marduk fixes in the sky; no text describes an unseen planet, a 3,600-year orbit or a collision, and sky surveys have found no such planet.
