Vernaclist thought and the ideas of Nikola Tesla
Tesla’s Vibratory Vision and "Vernaclistics" — Nikola Tesla summarized his philosophy with the famous phrase: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." In the thought of Jordi Salat, vernacular language and culture function precisely as natural frequencies and resonances connected to their original geographical and human environment. Both Tesla and "vernaclism" converge in rejecting artificial standardization, advocating instead for the natural flows of energy and identity.

Jordi.—See if you can find any parallels between the "vernaclism" (vernaclist thought) presented by Jordi Salat in his book *Vernaclistica* and his *Blog Vernacle*, and the ideas of Nikola Tesla.
A.I.—The exercise of connecting Jordi Salat’s "vernaclism" with the ideas of Nikola Tesla is fascinating. Although they operate in seemingly distant fields—sociolinguistics and the metaphysics of identity in Salat’s case; physics and electromagnetism in Tesla’s—both converge on an energetic, vibratory, and organic vision of reality.
Here are the most significant parallels that can be drawn from their respective works and lines of thought:
1. The Universe as Vibration and Frequency
Tesla famously wrote: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration."
· The parallel with Salat: Jordi Salat argues that the vernacular language—the language native to a specific place—is not merely a code for communication, but a specific vibration linked to the land and the biology of those who speak it. For Salat, "vernaclism" represents the preservation of a people’s "natural frequency." If you change the language, you change the vibration, thereby disrupting the individual’s balance and their connection to their environment.
2. Free Energy vs. Cultural Autonomy
Tesla dreamed of a world of free, wireless energy—accessible to everyone from any point on the planet—based on the resonance of the Earth itself (the ionosphere).
· The parallel with Salat: Salat’s "vernacularism" is a form of "spiritual energy sovereignty." His blog and the book *Vernaclística* argue that the use of one’s own language and culture allows an individual to live autonomously yet connected, without depending on external "generators"—such as alien state structures or cultural colonization—that impose an artificial form of energy. The vernacular language is an energy that is already present, readily available to the community.
3. Resonance and Harmony with Nature
Tesla believed that the Earth possessed a specific resonant frequency. His inventions often sought to harmonize human activity with the natural laws of magnetism.
· The parallel with Salat: Salat posits that every territory has a "resonance" that manifests through its vernacular language. Speaking the local language means entering into resonance with the ecosystem. In his view, bilingualism—or the imposition of foreign languages—acts as "interference" or electromagnetic noise, disrupting the natural harmony between human beings and their place of origin.
4. Anti-materialism and the "Logos"
Both Tesla and Salat move away from pure materialism. Tesla viewed matter as a manifestation of energy ("Everything is light"), while Salat views society not as a political structure, but as a living body spiritually connected by the *verb* (the spoken word).
· Tesla: Focused on the Aether—the invisible substance that connects everything.
· Salat: Focuses on the *Vernacular*—the invisible (yet audible) thread that organically connects the individual to their ancestors and their future.
In conclusion, had Tesla been a sociolinguist, he likely would have described vernacular languages as natural coils through which a people's energy is expressed with maximum efficiency and minimal loss. Both thinkers invite us to "tune in" to our own nature in order to reach our full potential.
