"KEELY AND HIS DISCOVERIES"
written by Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in 1893
Keely's Physical Philosophy
by
Professor D. G. Brinton M.D.
of the University of Pennsylvania
Mr. Keely begins with sounds whose vibrations can be known and
registered. I presume that the laws of ratio, position, duality, and
continuity, all the laws which go to mould the plastic air by elastic
bodies into the sweetness of music, will also be found ruling and
determining all in the high silence of interior vibrations, which hold
together or shake asunder the combinations that we call atoms and
ultimate elements. - The Science of Music. D.C. Ramsay. Edited by the
Rev. John Andrew. Marcus Ward & Co.
What Keely has discovered in physics, I am in some measure
credited with discovering in metaphysics: this is nothing strange,
according to this philosophy, which shows that many people may divine
the same original truth at the same time by means of the etheric
element which connects the Deity, the source of all truth, with all
His creatures. - Preface to Vera Vita; or, the Philosophy of Sympathy.

Abstract of Keely's Physical Philosophy in its main features
up to the point of practical application;
by Professor Daniel G. Brinton,
of the Pennsylvania University;
subject to modifications and additions
when Keely has made public his system.
The fundamental conception of the Universe is force manifesting itself
in rhythmical relations.
This definition is exhaustive, including both thought and
extension, matter and mind. The law for the one is the law for the
other. The distinction between them is simply relative, i.e.
quantitative, not qualitative.
The rhythmic relations in which force acts are everywhere, under
all conditions, and at all times, the same. They are found
experimentally to be universally expressible by the mathematical
relations of thirds.
These threefold relations may be expressed with regard to their
results as,--
I. Assimilative.
II. Individualizing.
III. Dominant or Resultant.
Page 1
From these three actions are derived the three fundamental;
LAWS OF BEING.
I. Law of Assimilation: every individualized object assimilates
itself to all other objects.
II. Law of Individualization: every such object tends to
assimilate all other objects to itself.
III. Law of the Dominant: every such object is such by virtue of
the higher or dominant force which controls these two
tendencies.
Applying these fundamental laws to an explanation of the
universe, as it is brought to human cognition, all manifestations of
force may be treated as modes of vibrations. The essential differences
give rise to three modes of vibration:--
I. The Radiative : called also the `Dispersing,' the
`Propulsive,' the `Positive,' and the `Enharmonic.'
II. The Focalizing: called also the `Negative,' the `Negative
Attractive,' the `Polarizing,' and the `Harmonic.'
III. The Dominant: called also the `Etheric,' or the `Celestial.'
These, it will be noted, correspond to the three laws of being.
It is not to be understood that any one of these three modes of
vibration can exist independently. Each by itself is called a
`current,' and all three must be present in every `stream' or `flow'
of force. The relations of the currents in every flow are expressible
in thirds, and it is experimentally demonstrable that the relation of
the three are in the order named: as 33 1/33 : 66 2/3 : 100.
The evolution of what is called `matter' from the different modes
of vibration is through the action of the second law, that of
focalization, or `negative attraction,' or `negative affinity.'
Where the vibrations under this mode meet, and are maintained in
a stated of mutual affinity or equilibrium, there is established what
is called a `neutral centre,' or, as otherwise expressed, a centre of
sympathetic coincidence.
The terms `neutral attraction,' `neutral affinity,' `negative
attraction,' or `polar negative attraction,' are employed to express
the property of a mode of vibration to direct its components toward
such centre.
As no current or flow of force can be composed of one mode of
vibration only, but must always be composed of three modes uniting in
varying thirds, we have 1 x 2 x 3 = 6 as the total possible forms of
sympathetic coincidence, or, to speak in ordinary terms, there can be
six; and six only, possible forms of individualized being. These are
what Keely calls the six orders of atomic subdivision, or orders of
vibratory motion, and he names them as follows:
I. Molecular.
II. Inter-molecular.
III. Atomic.
IV. Inter-atomic.
V. Etheric.
VI. Inter-etheric.
Page 2
In this last the forms of matter are arranged in the mathematical
sequence of the rapidity of the oscillations of their constituent
members; the proportion being proved by experiment to be as follows :
for the molecular orders :
1 : 3 : 9 : 27 : 81 : 243.
This arithmetical progression changes in the atomic orders to a
geometrical progression as follows :
3 : 9 : 81 : 6561 : 43046721, etc.
This same method of progression is believed to hold in all the
orders of vibrations above the molecular, and soon passes into
mathematical infinity.
Actually, however, all matter of which we are capable of
cognition through the medium of our senses is in one of three forms of
aggregation :
I. Molecular
II. Atomic
III. Etheric
in each of which the controlling mode of vibration is respectively,
I. The Enharmonic
II. The Harmonic
III. The Dominant
But it must be understood that each of these modes is a positive and
real constituent of every atom and molecule.
It will be seen that as every form of material aggregation is to
be considered as a `neutral centre of attraction,' where the vibratory
force of all three orders are held in `sympathetic coincidence,' that
is, in balanced activity or harmonized motion, and not by any means
cancelled or mutually destroyed, there is no diminution of force, but
only temporary suspension of its radiating or propulsive activity or
expression.
This is the foundation of Keely's doctrine of `latent force,' and
of the indefinite power which can be obtained by breaking up the
harmonious balance or equation of forces of every mode, which exists
in every `neutral centre,' that is to say in every mass of matter.
Insomuch as every mass of matter consists thus, in fact, of
vibrations in harmonic equilibrium, related by simple proportions of
thirds, it follows that every mass of every description stands in
harmonic relation to every other mass. This is, in part, what is
meant by the sympathy of all forms of matter and of motion; and it is
through the study of the methods of increasing or diminishing this
sympathy that we reach practical results in this field of research. At
present this is best accomplished by resonance ; that is, through the
harmonic vibrations created by musical instruments, bringing out the
acoustic world as the microscope reveals the hidden visual world.
Page 3
Every visible or tangible mass of matter must be regarded as an
aggregation of molecules ; the molecules being the true centres of the
equated forces of `neutralized attraction.'
These molecules have been experimentally proved by Keely to be
formed of all three modes of vibration ; the proof being that they
respond to all three modes when subjected to the tests of compound
concordant impulses.
It is through the disturbance of this oscillatory equilibrium, by
means of resonant impulses, that Keely alters the relations of the
vibratory impulses which constitute matter. This be does by striking
the same chord in three octaves, representing the third, sixth, and
ninth of the scale.
Of these, the sixth reduces the range of molecular vibrations or
oscillations ; and, by thus bringing nearer to each other the neutral
centres, increases solidifications.
The ninth extends the range of molecular oscillation, and thus
tends to give greater tenuity to the mass. It induces ` trajectile
velocity ' form neutral centres, or ` neutral radiation. ' Experiment
shows that molecular dissociation does not take place until the
molecule attains an oscillation approaching, if not fully reaching
two-thirds of its diameter. This can be effected by means of the
action of the ` enharmonic ' or ` radiating ' current applied to the
mass, after its molecules have once been disturbed by an `in-
troductory impulse; ' that is, by the musical note above mentioned.
The third represents the ` dominant, ' and when brought under
control of a harmonic resonant impulse induces a complete
rearrangement off the modes of vibration and oscillation ; in other
words, will transform the mass either into its component initial
forces, or into some other form of matter.
It is the study of the dominant to which Keely has devoted his
recent researches. He aims to control the power he evolves by altering
the dominant or etheric mode of vibration in the triplicate flows of
force.
As all molecules and masses are mere centres of harmonized
vibrations, temporarily held in suspension by simple laws identical
with those of resonance, it follows that these centres can be broken
up or divided by certain orders of vibration impinging upon and
disturbing them.
It is a familiar fact that a cord in vibration tends to produce a
similar vibration in a cord placed near it. This property belongs to
all vibrations, whether resonant or not, and they exert it in
proportion to the ` order ' to which they belong. The distance in
space to which this power extends, or can be extended, is what is
called ` the sympathetic outreach ' of the current or flow.
In this manner we have ` sympathetic negative attraction, ' and `
sympathetic positive propulsion, ' with reference to the ` outreach '
of the third or dominant current of the stream, which is allied to the
order of etheric vibrations.

Each molecule of a given mass of matter represents the same
harmonic chord or note in its oscillatory motion. The ` chord of the
mass ' is, therefore, the chord of every molecule the mass.
But as the condition of absolutely stable equilibrium is
theoretical only, and does not exist in nature, the chord of the mass
is constantly changing. Yet we must learn to control this ` chord of
the mass ' by resonant induction, if we would gain command of the
molecular forces.
Keely believes he has solved this problem, by the invention of a
mechanical device which brings the chords of all masses within the
conditions of a few simple acoustic tests.
The range of molecular oscillation is affected differently in
different substances when submitted to the same vibratory impulse, and
these ranges can be measured.
In the three metals, silver, gold, and platina, we obtain the
proportions --- 3 : 6 : 9 : --- As this is the primary relation of the
modes of vibration, a wire made of these three metals is peculiarly
adapted to transmit concordant impulses : and nodes made of these
substances placed upon a wire, transmitting resonant vibrations,
indicate, by the different orders of vibration induced in them, the
rate of oscillations of the atomic constituents.
The phenomenon of rotation arises from the harmonic interaction
of the dominant and enharmonic elements of the flow : in other words,
the first and third, the third and ninth, etc. ; those whose
vibrations bear the proportions to each other 33 1/3 : 100.
A practical example of rotation is a wheel in revolution on its
axis. This is force in its commercial or economic aspect. to
accomplish this result by molecular vibratory action, we must gain
control of the ` negative attractive ' or ` enharmonic ' current of
the triple flow, and the problem is then solved up to any limit of
power.
