Pure sympathetic concordants are as antagonistic to negative discordants as the negative is to the positive; but the vast volume the sympathetic holds over the non-sympathetic, in ethereal space, makes it at once the ruling medium and re-adjuster of all opposing conditions if properly brought to bear upon them.
Until Keely’s “Theoretical Exposé” is given to science, there are few who will fathom the full meaning of these views.
His discoveries embrace the manner or way of obtaining the keynote, or “chord of mass,” of mineral, vegetable, and animal substances; therefore, the construction of instruments, or machines, by which this law can be utilized in mechanics, in arts, and in restoration of equilibrium in disease, is only a question of the full understanding of the operation of this law.
Keely estimates that, after the introductory impulse is given on the harmonic thirds, molecular vibration is increased from 20,000 per second to 100,000,000.
On the enharmonic sixths, that the vibration of the inter-molecule is increased to 300,000,000.
On the diatonic ninths, that atomic vibration reaches 900,000,000; on the dominant etheric sixths, 8,100,000,000; and on the inter-etheric ninths, 24,300,000,000; all of which can be demonstrated by sound colours.
In such fields of research, Mr. Keely finds little leisure. Those who accuse him of “dilly-dallying,” of idleness, of “always going to do and never doing,” of “visionary plans,” etc., etc., know nothing of the infinite patience, the persistent energy, which for a quarter of a century has upheld him in his struggle to attain this end. Still less, if possible, is he understood by those who think he is seeking self-aggrandizement, fame, fortune, or glory.
The time is approaching when all who have sought to defame this discoverer and inventor, all who have stabbed him with unmerited accusations, all who have denounced him as “a bogus inventor,” “a fraud,” “an impostor,” “a charlatan,” “a modern Cagliostro,” will be forced to acknowledge that he has done a giant’s work for true science, even though he should not live to attain commercial success. But history will not forget that, in the nineteenth century, the story of Prometheus has been repeated, and that the greatest mind of the age, seeking to scale the heavens to bring down the light of truth for mankind, met with Prometheus’s reward.
Note.—Dr. Hartmann, in a report, or condensed statement, in reference to Keely’s discovery, writes as follows: “He will never invent a machine by which the equilibrium of the living forces in a disordered brain can be restored.”
As such a statement would lead the reader of the report to fancy that Keely expected to invent such an instrument, it is better to correct the error that Dr. Hartmann has fallen into. Keely has never dreamed of inventing such an instrument. He hopes, however, to perfect one that he is now at work upon, which will enable the operator to localize the seat of disturbance in the brain in mental disorders. If he succeeds, this will greatly simplify the work of “re-adjusting opposing conditions”; and will also enable the physician to decide whether the “differential disaster” has taken place which prevents the possibility of establishing the equation that is necessary to a cure.
