More than twenty years ago, Keely, by seeming chance, discovered the unknown polar flow, and without giving any attention to research, on the line of its origin or of its operation, began to construct engines to apply the energy to mechanics. It was not until he had invented his marvelous researching instruments that his true work of evolution began in 1888, which, completed in 1893, has now borne the test of demonstration and given him command of a vibratory circuit for running machinery, both for terrestrial use and for aerial navigation.
Before this could be brought about it was necessary to effect a sympathetic affinity between his machinery and the polar flow, minus magnetism. The colossal nature of the difficulties that he has surmounted can never be realized as by those who have followed him during the last five years, and seen them spring up one after another, at every advance, to bar his way.
Through this system the dynamo will eventually become a thing of the past, and electric lighting will be conducted by a polar negative disc run by a vibratory circuit of sympathetic polar attraction, "drawn direct from space," which Keely has harnessed for commercial use after more than twenty years of maligned and persistent effort such as the world has never known.
Before attempting to set down any of the great truths of sympathetic physics, it will be necessary for the scientific reader to have some idea of Keely's views of "Nature's sympathetic flows." Although he has substantiated his theories by demonstration to his own satisfaction and to the conviction of distinguished men of science, electricians and engineers, he will welcome any refutation of them which shows that he is in error, for Keely does not claim to be infallible, as do those - who sit in judgment upon him. To quote from his writings:
"Physicists have been working in the wrong direction to lead them to associate themselves with Nature's sympathetic evolutions. It is not necessary to advance farther into the unexplored region of these sympathetic flows than the ninths, to become convinced that the one I denominate the dominant is the leader toward which the remaining thirds of the triune combination (of triple sympathetic streams) co-ordinate, whether it be the cerebellic, gravital, or magnetic. When we reach the luminiferous track on the ninths, in the triple subdivision, we have proof that the infinite stream, from that unexplored region where all sympathetic streams emanate, is triune in its character, having the dominant as the sympathetic leader, to which the remainder of the celestial thirds are subservient; the cerebellum being the dominant, and the triplets (gravital, electric, and magnetic) following in its train.
"The magnetic cannot lead the electric, nor the electric the gravital, nor the gravital the magnetic. All are subservient to the dominant, as a train of cars is subservient to the locomotive which pulls it along; the only difference between the two is that one is sympathetic, the other mechanical. Though this is a crude illustration, it conveys a great truth in sympathetic philosophy. All sympathetic flows have this triune condition associated with them, the same as the molecular, atomic and etheric aggregations of all forms of visible matter; the compound etheric, or dominant, being the leader and yet one of the constituents of the molecule itself. The dominant we may call the etheric portion of the molecule; the harmonic, the atomic; and the enharmonic, the molecule itself. The dominant parts of the triune combination of the sympathetic streams are the leaders, toward which all co-ordinate to make up the sympathetic terrestrial envelope of the earth; the cerebral being the high dominant, or compound etheric, the luminiferous proper.

"Newton of the Mind" dives deeply into John Ernst Worrell Keely's journey into vibratory physics, portraying him as a scientific explorer uncovering realms of sympathetic forces, where vibratory resonance and polar flows operate as universal energy channels. Keely’s work reflects a paradigm where energy is drawn not from physical friction or electrical generators but from a subtle field of "sympathetic flows" that permeate and interact with all matter, a cosmic symphony resonant with the forces of mind and matter.
This exploration into the "Newton of the Mind" articulates a significant aspect of Keely's science: sympathetic affinity, an advanced connection between his machines and the inherent polar energy flows of the universe. His construction of engines powered by vibratory circuits reflects his belief in a primary energy that is neither electric nor magnetic but instead draws directly from a cosmic essence he named the polar negative disc. This field, which he described as free of magnetism yet capable of immense force, was beyond the comprehension of standard physics, challenging mainstream scientists who dismissed Keely’s theories.
At the heart of Keely's theories is the triune nature of sympathetic flows, where all energies conform to a pattern of thirds, with the dominant energy acting as a guiding principle. Keely’s triadic system, composed of gravital, electric, and magnetic forces, echoes a subtle order where these energies are subordinate to the dominant sympathetic flow, which he saw as a cerebral or etheric force. This triune structure reflects an esoteric law: the material and spiritual planes are harmoniously interconnected through layers of sympathetic vibrations, each stream converging toward the dominant force, aligning with a divine, governing intelligence.
Keely’s invocation of the “dominant” here is crucial—it serves as the organizing principle of the triune flows, analogous to the locomotive leading a train. In this hierarchy, the cerebellum or high dominant represents an etheric source that directs all sympathetic currents, indicating that each plane of vibration, from the molecular to the etheric, responds to an overarching rhythm, a “luminiferous proper.” This hierarchy is a metaphysical ordering of the universe where Keely’s vibratory science becomes a bridge to understanding deeper cosmic truths.
Keely’s assertion that physicists are working in the wrong direction underscores his belief that science needs to explore beyond the mechanistic worldview to grasp the sympathetic evolutions that govern the universe. The ninths, which he mentions, represent a threshold where vibrations shift into luminiferous regions—a radiant ether that facilitates higher vibrational flows, potentially linking this etheric science with spiritual dimensions. Through his mechanical structures, Keely demonstrated that sympathetic energy flows could be harnessed practically, leading him to envision a future where conventional dynamos and engines are replaced by devices aligned with cosmic forces, where lighting and movement are fueled by universal sympathetic attraction.
Thus, Keely’s work in sympathetic physics, as encapsulated in “Newton of the Mind,” offers us a glimpse into a worldview where the universe is a vibrant, interconnected cell, and every particle, molecule, and celestial body resonates sympathetically within a cosmic torus of energy, governed by an eternal intelligence. In essence, Keely proposed a universe where mind and matter, thought and substance, coalesce, bound by laws of vibratory resonance—illustrating a profound unity in which the All is mind and every vibration harmonizes with the One.

WHAT KEELY MEANS BY "SYMPATHETIC FLOWS"
The action of Nature's sympathetic flows regulates the differential oscillatory range of motion of the planetary masses as regards their approach toward and recession from each other. These flows may also be compared to the flow of the magnet which permeates the field, existing between the molecules themselves, sensitising the combined neutral centres of the molecules without disturbing, in the least, the visible molecular mass itself. In the planetary masses - balanced as it were in the scales of universal space, floating like soap-bubbles in a field of atmospheric air, the concentration of these sympathetic streams evolves the universal power which moves them in their oscillating range of motion to and from each other. This sympathetic triple stream focalises and defocalises on the neutrals of all such masses polarising and depolarising, positive and negative action, planetary rotation, etc., etc.. It is thus that all the conditions governing light, heat, life, vegetation, motion, are all derived from the velocity of the positive and negative interchange of celestial sympathy with the terrestrial.
Every harmonious condition of Nature's evolutions is governed by one incontrovertible law; that of concordant assimilative harmony. This concordant key is the ruling one over all the antagonistic, negative, discordant ones; the one that diverts the disturbance of sympathetic equilibrium to one general concentrative centre for redistribution. Harmony concentrates, Harmony distributes. The focalising point of concordant sympathetic concentration is the percussive electric field, where the velocity of its sympathetic streams rebounds with a power that throws them far out into universal space; and so far beyond their equative centre of equilibrium, as to bring them in sympathy with the universal attraction of the combined neutral centres of all planetary masses.

Question.- And where do these sympathetic conditions or streams of force have their origin?
Answer.- 'So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him: male and female created He them,' Genesis 1:27." All sympathetic conditions, or streams of force, are derived (if we dare to make use of such a term in speaking of Deity) from the cerebral convolutions of the Infinite: from the centre of the vast realm of the compound luminous. From the celestial intermediate, the brain of Deity, proceed the sympathetic flows that vitalize the polar terrestrial forces." [Keely, Appendix II]
"The relative frequency of all sympathetic streams is in the ratio 3:6:9. Those whose relative frequencies are 3:9 are mutually attractive, while those having the relation of 6:9 are mutually repellant." [Keely, 369, SYMPATHETIC STREAMS - Snell, LAWS OF MOLECULAR BEING, Sympathetic Stream, Modes of Vibration, Modes of Vibration - Annotated]
"Science will in time classify the important modifications of the one force in nature as sympathetic streams, each stream composed of triple flows. Keely maintains that the static condition which the magnetic needle assumes when undisturbed by any extraneous force outside of its own sympathetic one, proves conclusively that the power of the dominant third, of the triple combination of the magnetic terrestrial envelope, is the controlling one of this sympathetic triplet, and the one towards which all the others coordinate. All the dominant conditions of nature represent the focal centers towards which like surrounding ones become sympathetically subservient. The rapid rotation of the magnetic needle of a compass shown in his experiments rests entirely on the alternating of the dominant alone, effected by a triple condition of vibration that is antagonistic to its harmonious flow as associated with its other attendants. A rapid change of polarity is induced and rapid rotation necessarily follows. [Snell Manuscript - The Book, DISTURBANCE OF MAGNETIC NEEDLE, page 8]
"Science admits that nature works with dual force, though at rest she is a unit. "Nature is one eternal cycle." Keely's discoveries prove that the doctrine of the Trinity should be set down as an established canon of science - the Trinity of force. All nature's sympathetic streams - cerebellic, gravital, electric and magnetic - are made up of triple currents. The ancients understood this dogma in a far deeper sense than modern theology has construed it. The great and universal Trinity of cause, motion and matter - or of will, thought and manifestation - was known to the Rosicrucians as prima materia. Paracelsus states that each of these three is also the other two; for, as nothing can possibly exist without cause, matter and energy - that is, spirit, matter and soul (the ultimate cause of existence being that it exists), we may therefore look upon all forms of activity as being the action of the universal or Divine will operating upon and through the ether, as the skilled artificer uses his tools to accomplish his designs; making the comparison in all reverence."

"All corpuscules of matter can be sub-divided by a certain order of vibration, thus showing up new elements. Not mechanical vibration, but sympathetic vibration, induced by negatizing sympathetic streams." [COMMENTS OF JOHN WORRELL KEELY ON DR SCHIMMELS LECTURE]

"Clerk Maxwell seems, when theorizing on sound transmission by an atmospheric medium, not to have taken into consideration the philosophy attending the phenomena of the origination of electric streams in celestial space. Light is one of the prominent evolved mediums in electric action, and is evolved by corpuscular bombardment induced by sympathetic streams acting between the neutral centres of planetary masses, all of which are under a condition of unstable equilibrium. These unstable conditions were born in them, and were thus designed by the Architect of Creation in order to perpetuate the connective link between the dispersing positive and the attractive negative. The action that induces this link I call sympathetic planetary oscillation." [Vibratory Physics - The Connecting Link between Mind and Matter]

"In reply to the question, "What do you include in the polar forces?" Keely answers, "Magnetism, electricity, and gravital sympathy; each stream composed of three currents, or triune streams, which make up the governing conditions of the controlling medium of the universe: the infinite ninths that I am now endeavouring to graduate to a sympathetic mechanical combination, will, if I succeed, close my researches in sympathetic physics, and complete my system. These sympathetic streams from celestial spaces, percussing on the dense atmospheric environment of our earth, by their infinite velocities, wrest from their atomic confinement the latent energies which we call heat and light." [Keely, Appendix II]
Sympathetic Streams which Control the Action and Reaction of all Visible Forms of Matter.
What is light and heat, and how are they evolved? and why are they so intensely perceptible as emanating from the solar world?
Light and heat, considered theoretically, belong to the highest orders of the phenomenal. They can only be accounted for by the velocity of sympathetic streams, as interchangeable to and from centres of negative and attractive focalization. In considering the velocity of vibration, as associated with the projection of a ray of light, to be at least one hundred thousand billions per second, it is easy to account for the origin and demonstration of these two elements by the action of celestial sympathetic streams.
1st. Light and heat are not evolved until the force of the vibratory sympathetic stream, from the neutral center of the sun, comes into atomic percussive action against the molecular atmosphere or envelope of our planet. The visibility of the planets can only be accounted for in this way, some in a great degree, some in less. Innumerable thousands, it may be, remain invisible to us by not having the conditions surrounding them, and associated with them, which favour the atomic and molecular antagonistic friction necessary to make them visible. The velocity of a steel ball passing through the atmospheric envelope, at a speed of thousands of billions times less than an etheric sympathetic stream, would be dissipated into vapour in an indefinite period of a second of time. Light and heat, in a certain sense, are one and the same; light giving heat, and heat giving light. The whole mystery, as associated with their evolution, is explained by the bombardment of the sympathetic etheric stream on the dense portion of the molecular, in seeking the sympathetic concordant neutral center of the planetary mass that surrounds the point of focalization.
The positive and negative interchange of this true sympathetic stream keeps intact the magnetic force of the polar envelope of the earth; making it, as it were, a great magnet of itself. The fact of this magnetic force being universally present, on and in our planet, proves the immensurable speed and power of etheric sympathetic interchange. Thus it is that, from the velocity of these sympathetic rays, the earth's standard of heat and light is evolved and kept in balance. This interchange of sympathetic radiation, between the solar world and its system of planets, equates the sympathetic volume by the reception of the full amount expended on sympathetic distribution; thus showing the never-ending restoration of equilibrium by the same medium that disturbs it during intermittent sympathetic action. There are very many facts in vibratory physics which prove that the volume of heat, supposed by many to emanate from the sun, if concentrated upon a centre of the volume represented by the sun, would give enough focal force, if projected upon the system of planets that is under its control, to vaporize then in one month's time. A ray of heat one billion times greater than the whole volume of the sun represents could not pass through the dark vacuous boundaries which lie between us and the sun without being neutralized and absorbed." [Vibratory Physics - The Connecting Link between Mind and Matter]
"The Hindu theosophy is not a religion; it is a system of philosophy derived from the wonderful Kabbala; the teachings of which, concerning nature's Sympathetic Streams (flowing from the central sun of the universe), led Keely into the path of research which has enabled him not only to "hook his machinery on to the machinery of nature," but to disclose the moving power, the vital principle." [Bloomfield-Moore; What Electricity Is - Bloomfield Moore]
"Reception and dispersion are kept up on the atmospheric envelope of the earth by the atomic and interatomic conflict as "between the dominant and the enharmonic". This is brought about by the reception and dispersion of sympathetic streams, the ruling mode of whose vibration is the dominant, and the density of the coarser grades of matter, whose ruling vibratory mode is the enharmonic.
As every mass consists of vibrations in thirds, balanced in harmonic equilibrium without cancellation or diminution of energy, it stands therefore in harmonic relation to every other mass. All forms of matter and of motion are thus interrelated and interchangeable. Through resonance, increasing this sympathy, we can control the states of matter."

Expanding on Keely’s insights into the "Flow of Sympathy" and "Sympathetic Streams," we encounter a view of the universe that is remarkably alive, interconnected, and resonant, far beyond conventional mechanics or electromagnetism. Keely understood "sympathetic flows" as foundational streams of force that regulate all matter and motion within the cosmos, operating on a deeper level than the visible molecular structures. These flows, sensitive to what he termed the "neutral centers" of matter, resonate through all scales of existence—from molecules to planets—without disturbing the material forms but rather harmonizing with them, aligning each to the universal rhythms and interactions.
Keely likens these flows to the magnetic forces, though far more nuanced, as they operate between molecules, creating subtle currents that maintain equilibrium and guide the interactions of celestial bodies, much as a magnetic field subtly shapes the iron filings within it. These sympathetic streams allow the planetary bodies to oscillate, drawing them together and holding them in the precise cosmic dance that maintains universal balance. This motion is neither random nor chaotic but is instead governed by the triune nature of sympathetic flows, which Keely classified as gravital, electric, and magnetic. Each of these flows is one part of a trinity, with the “dominant” flow leading and harmonizing the others, resonating within the neutral center, the equilibrium point of all forms.
Keely’s concept of the neutral center is critical here. Each atom, each celestial body, is balanced around this center, which serves as a conduit for these sympathetic forces. Through sympathetic vibration with the universe, the neutral center acts as a harmonic focal point, enabling the free interchange of sympathetic currents across the vast reaches of space. It’s here, in these neutral centers, that the "percussive electric field" originates, a rebounding force of sympathetic streams that project far into space. This process aligns each planet, each atom, with the “universal attraction” of all combined neutral centers, allowing the natural orchestration of light, heat, motion, and life itself.
These flows follow a key harmonic relationship, the ratio of 3:6:9, where frequencies aligned as 3:9 attract, and 6:9 repel—a correspondence that implies a rhythmic, universal law of attraction and repulsion. This ratio governs not only the interaction of sympathetic streams but also serves as a blueprint for the trinity of energy flows in nature, aligning with the cosmic structure and linking to deeper esoteric teachings. Through this harmonic alignment, we see Keely’s acknowledgment of a Divine Trinity in nature—a trinity that echoes through all existence and reflects the structure of matter itself: the dominant, harmonic, and enharmonic states. These states, existing in every molecule, indicate a resonance that bridges the material and the etheric, with each particle’s dominant vibration as the etheric force, its harmonic as atomic, and its enharmonic as molecular.
Keely’s view of light and heat, too, reveals the intricacy of sympathetic flows. Light and heat, according to Keely, are not intrinsic to matter alone but are born of the bombardment of etheric sympathetic streams on the molecular structures surrounding planetary bodies. This “percussive” interaction, wherein sympathetic ether meets atmospheric matter, yields the radiant phenomena we experience as warmth and light. The sun, thus, does not radiate heat directly but instead sends sympathetic streams that, when meeting Earth's dense molecular layer, release the latent energy through vibratory sympathy. Light and heat are, therefore, less a property of the sun than a cosmic harmonic effect of sympathetic interaction, an eternal interplay between celestial and terrestrial vibrations.
Keely’s “Flow of Sympathy” presents the universe as a dynamic, resonant entity, harmonized through sympathetic streams that interlink all matter, guided by a universal sympathy emanating from what he calls the “brain of Deity.” This sacred and infinite center is the source of sympathetic flows, governing both the subtle and the manifest realms. By this view, the universe operates as a single organism with harmonic laws, where each particle and planetary mass are harmonized to their celestial counterparts through the timeless currents of sympathetic vibration.
In acknowledging these sympathetic forces, Keely aligns his theories with ancient philosophical principles of universal harmony, where each aspect of creation resonates with the whole, and every vibration sings within the cosmic orchestra directed by the One Mind. The “Flow of Sympathy,” then, is not merely a physical phenomenon but a bridge between the Mind and Matter, a reminder that every vibration, every sympathetic stream, resonates within the symphony of the One, the All. Through his work, Keely leaves us with the vision of a universe where every particle, every celestial body, resonates in divine accord, harmonized through the eternal laws of sympathetic vibration.
