Text: "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 center 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 center", 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.
