"My first system is the one which requires introductory mediums of different gravities, air and water, to induce disturbance of equilibrium on the liberation of vapor, which only reached the interatomic position and was held there by the submersion of the molecular and atomic leads in the "generator" I then used. It was impossible with these mediums to go beyond the atomic with this instrument and I could not dispense with the water until my liberator was invented, nor reach maximum of the full line of vibration. My first system embraces generator, engine and gun.
"My second system of dissociation I consider complete, as far as the liberation of the ether is concerned, but not sufficiently complete, as yet, in its devices for indicating and governing the vibratory etheric circuit, to make it a safe medium.
"My third system embraces aerial and submarine navigation. The experimental sphere intended to test the combination of the positive and negative rotation is nearly completed.
"The work on the vibratory engine is progressing ... The safety arrangements which I am having attached to my liberator will greatly improve it. Its operation will now be conducted with a gum bulb instead of a violin bow, the pressure of which gives the introductory chord of impulse that vitalizes the whole machine. The chords will all be set in progressive sympathy from the first octave to the fortieth..."
December 17, 1885. "The setting up of the circles for computing the different lines of etheric chords, in setting the vibratory conditions for continuity requires costly study. I feel convinced that ... perfect solution ... will follow when this ... has been completed ... I find my chief trouble in chording up the masses of the different parts composing the negative centers. The negative center is included in the one-third volume of shell or sphere, starting from the neutral axis or point of suspension. This point of suspension only becomes perfect when the rotation is established on the sphere. One hundred revolutions per minute is all the velocity required to neutralize the gravity of the central third with the velocity of the vibratory circuit at one hundred thousand per second ... The month of January (1886) ought to find all completed ready for sympathetic graduation..."
Norman Lockyer ... "One feels as if dealing with something (molecules) that is more like a mental than a physical attribute ... a sort of expression of free will on the part of the molecules." Herein lies one of the secrets of Mr. Keely's ... "compound secret." Again "The law which connects radiation with absorption, and at once enables us to read the riddle set by the sun and stars is then, simply the law of sympathetic vibration." This is the ... cornerstone of Mr. Keely's philosophy ... his discovery. Prof. Keil, of Jena ... made some very interesting experiments ... which tend to demonstrate the susceptibility of the nervous system to the magnetic influences and the efficacy of the magnet in the cure of certain infirmities ... communicated by him to ... the Royal Society of London more than 50 years since.
In experimenting with ether, he has shown from time to time, since 1873, pressure of from 20,000 to 32,000 lbs. per sq. inch, but experimented several years before he obtained sufficient control over the ether to prevent explosions which he made wrecks of his machines, bursting iron and steel pipes, twelve inches in circumference, as if they were straws. He has now gained control, without danger of explosions demonstrating partial control over this force, which acts in all phases of being, undeviatingly governing the motions of the earth and of all heavenly bodies in space, Keely calls this force "sympathetic negative attraction", using the word "attraction" as no word has yet been coined to take its place.
He has determined and written a system of the vibratory conditions governing the aggregation of all molecular masses, as to their relation sympathetically one to another, stating conditions necessary to induce antagonism or repellant action, etc., but cannot yet control the operation of his Disintegrator so as to use it with safety to the operator.
He has demonstrated that the subdivision of matter under different orders of progressive vibration evolves by such subdivisions entirely new and distinct elements, too multiple to enumerate. He has systematized the proper vibratory chords, progressively, from the introductory molecular to the interetheric, embracing seven distinct orders of triple subdivision. He has elaborated a system of inducing sympathetic negative attraction on metallic masses, with great range of motion, and instant depolarization of the same by vibratory change of their neutral centers. Keely controls the transmission of these sympathetic streams by a medium of high molecular density, viz. drawn wires of differentiated metals, gold, silver, platinum, German silver, etc. In some recent experiments he took apart the instrument which he invented for the production of the force cutting the wires operated in sympathetic attraction and propulsion, and distributed the fragments to those who were present.
Keely has discovered that all sympathetic streams, cerebellic, gravital, magnetic and electric, are composed of triple flows, this fact governing all terrestrial and celestial orders of positive and negative radiation. In gravity it would be more correct to speak of triple connective links, as there is no flow of gravity.
Keely has discovered and demonstrated that electricity has never been handled that it is in principle as material as water that is not merely a force or form of energy, that it is matter, and that what we call electricity is but one of the triune currents, harmonic, enharmonic and diatonic, which are united in pure electricity, that the enharmonic current is sympathetically and mysteriously associated with the dominant current and that the dominant current can no more be brought under control than can the lightning itself. The diversion of the dominant current would mean destruction to any mechanical medium used for that purpose and death to the operator. The intense heat evolved by the electric stream Keely attributes to the velocity of the triple subdivision at the point of dispersion, as each triple seeks its medium of affinity. Sudden unition induces the same effect but demonstration shows that the concentration of this triple force is as free of percussion as is the breath of an infant, for the three currents flow together as one stream in the mildest sympathetic way, while their discharge after concentration is as the tornado's force. The enharmonic current of this triple stream, Keely thinks carries with it the power of propulsion that induces disturbance of negative equilibrium, which disturbance is essential to the coordination of its flow, in completing the triune stream of electricity. When this fluid is discharged from the clouds, each triplet or third seeks its terrestrial concordant, there to remain until again disturbed.
"My researches have proved to me" writes Keely, "the subtle and pure conditions of the power of negative attraction and positive propulsive."
These same researches have enabled Keely to pronounce definitely as to the nature of gravity -an ever-existing, eternal force, coexistent with the compound etheric or high luminous, entering into all forms of aggregated matter at their birth. Keely thinks that gravity is the source from which all visible matter springs, and that the sympathetic or neutral center of such aggregation have preceded it and to all that may succeed it, and that disturbance of equilibrium, like gravity, is an ever-existing force.
All planetary masses Keely calls terrestrial, showing that the beauty of the celestial concordant chords of sympathy forming the harmonious connective link, is what may be denominated "the music of the spheres," and is seen in the alternate oscillating range of motion between the planetary systems, for at a certain range of the greater distance, harmony is established and the attractive forces are brought into action, and then, in the return towards the neutral centers when at the nearest point to each other, the opposite or propulsive force is brought into play.
Keely has constructed instruments by which he is endeavoring to determine the nature of the triune action of the polar terrestrial stream or envelope, as regards its vibratory philosophy. He is seeking to demonstrate its sympathetic association with the celestial stream or luminiferous track, the compound etheric field, from which all planetary masses spring. He considers the electric stream to be one of the triune sympathetic streams which help to build up, in their order of triple concentration, the high vitality of the polar stream, or, more correctly, the magnetic electric terrestrial envelope, without which all living organisms would cease to exist. He classes the cohesive force or molecular masses as the dominant order of the electrical stream, the molecule owing its negative attractive quality to the magnetic element.
In Keely's experiments in antagonizing the polar stream, recently before men of science, he has copied in his instruments the conditions nature has established in her terrestrial ranges necessary to equate a state of sympathetic disturbance for the revitalization of what is continually displaced by negative dispersion. These mechanical conditions are principally differential vibratory settings on molecular aggregations of the metallic masses of gold, silver and platinum.
He has discovered the range of molecular motion in all quiescent masses is equal to one-third their diameters and that all extended range is induced by sound force, set at chords of the thirds which are antagonistic to the combined chords of the mass of the neutral centers that they represent, and that at a certain increased range of molecular motion, induced by the proper acoustic force, the molecules become repellant, and that when the sympathetic centers are influenced by a vibration concordant to the one that exists in themselves, the molecules become attractive; that the repellant condition seems to take place at a distance of about ten of the diameters of the molecules, this distance representing the neutral line of their attractive force, or the dividing line between the attractive and the repellant. Beyond this line, perfect triple separation takes place, inside of it, perfect attractive association is the result.
The force he uses in running machinery is the sympathetic attractive, which he says draws the planets together, while in his system of aerial navigation he will use a negation of this force, the same regulating the recession of the planets from each other. It is the sympathetic attractive force which keeps the planets subservient to a certain range of motion between their oscillations. Nature has established her sympathetic concordants from the birth of the neutral centers of the planets, in a manner known only to the Infinite One. This is gravity.
"The music of the spheres" is a reality. Thus, the inaudible atomic, etheric and interetheric sounds, which control and direct the harmony of the movements of the celestial universe, are the most powerful of all sounds. If our hearing were intensified a hundred billion times, we might be able to hear the streams of light as plainly as we now hear the wind.
He has suffered severe physical hardships and accidents in his hand-to-hand fight with the Genii he cannot completely subdue until he has effected the condition of polarization and depolarization necessary for the control of rotation and reversions in his commercial engine. An illness of nine weeks followed his abandonment of water in disintegrating,, and he was obliged to return to its use, to avoid the percussion induced by the rapid vibration of the atmospheric air. If a bullet is fired at a man through a vessel of water a foot thick, the bullet is merely flattened on the water while if nothing intervenes the man is killed.
He has written three treatises to explain his system, the titles of which are as follows:
I. Theoretical Expose or Philosophical Analysis of Vibro-Molecular, Vibro-Atomic, and Sympathetic Vibro-etheric forces, as applied to induce Mechanical Rotation by Negative Sympathetic Attraction.
II. Explanatory Analysis of Vibro-Acoustic Mechanism in all its Different Groupings or Combinations to induce Propulsion and Attraction (sympathetically) by the Power of Sound-Force, as also the Different Conditions of Intensity, both Positive and Negative, on the Progressive Octaves to Ozonic Liberation and Luminosity.
III. The Determining Principle of Matter, or the Connective Link between the Finite and the Infinite, Progressively considered from the Crude Molecular to the Compound Inter-Etheric, showing the control of Spirit over Matter in all the Variations of Mass-Chords and Molecular groupings, both Physical and Mechanical.
Keely defines gravity as transmittive Interetheric force under immense etheric vibration, and electricity as a certain form of atomic vibration. Keely's researches in this province have shown that it is neither the electric nor the magnetic flow, but the etheric, which sends its current along our nerves, that the electric and magnetic flows bear an infinitely small ratio to the etheric flow, both in velocity and tenuity that true coincidents can exist between any mediums, cartilage to steel, steel to wood, wood to stone, and stone to cartilage, that the same influence of sympathetic association holds control also over all liquids, embracing the three kingdoms, animal, vegetable and mineral, that the sympathetic flow emanating from the normal human brain comes in the order of the fifth and seventh positions of atomic subdivision, compound interetheric sympathy a resultant of this subdivision, that if metallic mediums are brought under the influence of the sympathetic flow they become organisms which carry the same flow that the nerves do for the human brain, that the composition of metallic and of physical organisms is one and the same, al though the molecular arrangements are different, but that the harmonious chords induced by sympathetic positive vibration permeate the molecules of each and bring about perfect equation of any differentiation in one the same as in the other, that the etheric or will-flow, is of a tenuity of the seventh subdivision of matter, of a tenuity so infinitely fine that a magnifying glass which would enlarge the smallest grain of sand to the size of the sun would not make its structure visible. The distance traversed by light in a thousand years could be traversed by the etheric flow in less than a second.
Were it not for the will-force eternally flowing into all created forms, the entire universe would disappear. Omnipotence may be said, in all reverence, to regulate His systems of worlds through and by the vibratory ether. Hertz said, "Soon the question set by modern physics will be 'Are not all things due to conditions of the ether?'" Hertz discovered in 1888 that the ether had been imprisoned and used in every electromagnetic engine (by its use as a fulcrum for electric attraction and repulsion) without having been even so much as suspected by a single scientist. Herbert Spencer says the first condition of success in scientific research is "an honest receptivity and willingness to abandon all preconceived notions, however cherished if they be found to contradict the truth."
Keely writes: "The mathematics of vibratory etheric science both pure and applied, require long and arduous research. It seems to me that no man's life is long enough to cover more than the introductory branch. The theory of elliptic functions, the calculus of probabilities, are but pygmies in comparison to a science which requires the utmost tension of the human mind to grasp."
Keely says: "The system of arranging introductory etheric impulses by compound chords set by differential harmonies, is one that the world of science has never recognized, simply because the struggle of physicists, combating with the solution of the conditions governing the fourth order of matter, have been in a direction thoroughly antagonistic and opposite to the right one. It is true that luminosity has been induced by chemical antagonism, and, in my mind, this ought to have been a stepping stone towards a more perfect condition ... but the bare truth remains that the conditions were isolated, robbed of their most vital essentials ... by not having the medium of etheric vibration associated with them.
In order to subdivide the atoms in the atomic triplet, the molecular ether, liberated from the molecule, is absolutely necessary to effect the rupture of the atoms, and so on, progressively, in each order of ether, molecular, intermolecular, atomic, inter atomic, etheric, interetheric, the ether liberated in each successive division is essential to the next subdivision.
The keynote of Mr. Keely's researches is that the movements of elastic elements are rhythmical and before he had reached his present stage in producing vibrations, on the principle of resonance, he has had problems to solve which needed the full measure of apperception. Hertz has produced vibrations about one meter long, vibrating more than one hundred million times a second. Keely has produced, using an atmospheric medium alone, 519,655,633 vibrations per second, but, interposing pure hydrogen gas between soap films and using it as a medium of acceleration, he asserts that on the enharmonic third a rate of vibration may be induced which could not be set down in figures, and could only be represented in sound colors. He has invented instruments which demonstrate in many variations the colors of sound, registering the number of necessary vibrations to produce each variation. The transmissive sympathetic chord of B flat, third octave, when passing the inaudibility, would induce billions of billions of vibrations, represented by sound color on a screen illuminated from a solar ray. But this experiment is one of infinite difficulty, from the almost utter impossibility of holding the hydrogen between the two films long enough to conduct the experiment. Keely made over 1200 trials before succeeding once in inducing the intense blue field necessary, covering a space of six weeks, for hours at a time daily and should he ever succeed in his present efforts to produce a film that will stand, he anticipated being able to register the range of motion in all metallic mediums.
Keely writes: "The highest range of vibration I ever induced was in the one experiment that I made in liberating ozone by molecular percussion, which induced luminosity, and registered a percussive molecular force of 110,000 lbs. per square inch, as registered on a lever constructed for the purpose."
