===== 2. Key Perspectives on Electricity =====

2.1. John Keely
* Etheric Substance: Keely posited that electricity is a substance rather than a mere force, resulting from the combination of three differentiated sympathetic flows—celestial and terrestrial—leading to a negatively attractive assimilation.
* Sympathetic Vibrations: He emphasized the role of sympathetic vibrations in electrical phenomena, suggesting that higher etheric vibrations tend toward a neutral center, facilitating the formation of matter.

2.2. Nikola Tesla
* Ether and Electricity: Tesla believed that electric and magnetic phenomena are attributable to the ether, viewing static electricity as effects of ether in motion. He suggested that electricity could be understood as ether associated with matter, either under strain or in motion.

2.3. Rudolf Steiner
* Sub-Material Light: Steiner described electricity as light in a sub-material state, implying that it is compressed light existing in a dimension beyond the physical. He warned against confusing light with electricity, as they represent fundamentally different principles.

2.4. Walter Russell
* Dual Force of Desire: Russell characterized electricity as a dual force expressing the desire in the God-Mind for creative expression, dividing the one still light into transient waves of spectrum-divided positive and negative colors.

2.5. Tom Bearden
* Active Medium Interaction: Bearden highlighted the potential of extracting electromagnetic energy directly from the active medium (vacuum or spacetime), suggesting that the suppression of such knowledge has limited the development of over-unity electrical systems.
