August - Mir Seidel

August, 2025 – Mir Seidel

My new book, Tesla’s Opera, tells the story of the visionary inventor Nikola Tesla, through the opera about him that I worked on as librettist. The opera Violet Fire, with a score by composer Jon Gibson, was performed in New York, Philadelphia, and in Belgrade as part of the celebration of Tesla’s 150th birthday. The book comes out in September from Fomite Press.

When I first read about the visionary inventor Nikola Tesla, I thought that only an opera could encompass the extremes and surreal qualities of his life and career: the visions he had from childhood, his inventions that helped create our wired and wireless world, even his unrealized ideas. Emigrating from Serbia to the US in the 1880s, he achieved fame with his discovery of how to generate alternating current, and lived a glittering life in New York. He never married, and lived in poverty in his later years, devoting himself to feeding pigeons in the city’s parks.

Writing the libretto for that opera, I realized I needed to put Tesla’s relationship with a certain pigeon at the heart of the story. He confessed to loving this pigeon, and to seeing an unearthly, powerfully bright light just before she died. In the opera, the White Dove sings to Tesla, offering a sense of Tesla’s communion with the mysteries of electromagnetism, in words and music.

As a longtime reader of the Seth books, I wanted to convey the feeling of a person of extraordinary gifts who somehow acted as a channel for technologies to manifest and transform our world—someone who rode the crest of the wave of mass events, that process where we agree together on what will be and what will not be, at least not yet.

Some twenty years later, I was invited to put together a book about the opera, as a kind of counterweight to the recent, unfortunate associations of Tesla’s name with the electric car company. It’s been a hugely meaningful experience for me to revisit the opera, and to invite others to offer commentary on it and on Tesla. The contributors include novelist-poet Andrei Codrescu, critic Merilyn Jackson, and the opera’s director, Terry O’Reilly and conductor Ana Zorana Brajović. The book also includes the full libretto, excerpts from Jon Gibson’s score, and dozens of photographs from the performance and its video projections.

I’m delighted to share this book with Carolyn's wonderful community. You can order it from your favorite bookstore, or online from bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

  • “Carolyn is pure magic. Her work is so profound that I also hired her to do private readings at my Breakup Bootcamps where she helped women with guidance as they stepped into their next chapter of life. I’m so grateful for Carolyn and her wisdom, and bright light energy.”

    Amy C., San Diego, CA

  • “Carolyn Swift is the MOST gifted intuitive. For both predictions and guidance, she is beyond accurate, specific, and helpful. My friends and family have been blown away by their sessions!”

    Alanna T., Los Angeles, CA

  • “Carolyn is an amazing teacher. She holds your hand when it needs to be held. She gives gentle nudges when you need gentle nudges. And she pushes you out of the nest when you need to spread your wings and fly. Any time I see an email for her next class, you can bet I’ll be replying, yes please!”

    Ryan M., Brooklyn, NY

  • “I have been going to Carolyn for almost 20 years now and I have always found her readings to be extremely accurate. The readings are far more spiritual and profound and unlike the typical readings you tend to get with others. I have always described the experience as hearing the truth for the very first time.”

    Kathi K., New York, NY

  • Carolyn is warm and compassionate. Her work is spot on. No matter how dark or difficult my life has seemed before I meet with her, I always end up feeling uplifted by the end of our session. My life is brighter because of her.”

    Dave M., Monroe Township, NJ

  • “Carolyn is a medical intuitive, a spirit guide, an erudite student of religion and culture, and one of the most loving souls our planet has. She is the most talented intuitive I have ever worked with, and she continues to teach me so much!”

    Dr. Gilda Carle

  • “Carolyn is such a pure channel of Light. I was even blessed to have her share her loving presence and officiate my wedding. I could not think of a more reverent, loving soul to bless our vows.”

    Danielle K., New York

  • “I’ve been speaking with Carolyn for many years and her kindness matches her extraordinary gift. When she shares feedback from my team I feel as though I’m learning something I already knew in the deepest part of my heart, but hearing it affords profound reassurance.”

    Courtney D., New York, NY
