This collection of essays presents the theories of inventor John Keely and his claimed discoveries in vibratory force, etheric energy and aerial navigation. It blends speculative science with spiritual and philosophical reflections on a universal life-force. It offers a window into nineteenth-century alternative science and its hopes for new forms of propulsion.

Opening of the book

KEELY AND HIS DISCOVERIES

John Stuart Mill, in order to protect

science, carried empiricism to its

extreme sceptical consequences, and

thereby cut the ground from under the

feet of all science.—Professor Otto

Pfleiderer, D.D.

The word of our God shall stand for

ever.—Isa. xl. 8.

Imagination is wholly taken captive by

the stupendous revelation of the Godforce which modern conceptions of the

Cosmos furnish. Through the whole

universe beats the one life-force,

that is God, controlling every

molecule in the petal of a daisy, in

the meteoric ring of Saturn, in the

remotest nebula that outskirts space,

as though that molecule were the

universe. In each molecule and atom

God lives and moves and has His being,

thereby sustaining theirs …. Prophet

after prophet cries, and psalmist

after psalmist sings, that so indeed

he has found it; that therein is the

divine sonship of man, therein the

assurance of eternal life.—Rev. R. A.

Armstrong.
