Vril, The Power of the Coming Race
by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton [1871]
Legendary for his
turgid prose ("it was a dark and stormy night...") Bulwer-Lytton's pioneering
science fiction novel "Vril" was taken very seriously by 19th Century Atlantis
fans (for instance, Scott-Elliot). Vril is a mysterious energy which is used by
Lytton's subterranian race (refugees from the Deluge) to power their advanced
civilization; it was later treated as a reality by occultists.
Vril Energy
The vril
was the name given to the strange energy source used by the Vril-ya race in
Bulwer Lytton's (circa 1871) book The Coming Race. The story is about a mining
engineer you finds his way into a cave that leads to a subterranean world
inhabited by an advanced race who in appearance greatly resemble the
Pre-Raphaelite image of angels (wings and all that). It is a very unusual book
written by a very interesting guy who is linked in with the occult world of
Freemasons and the United States-New World order bunch along with the likes of
Bacon and Franklin.
One point to mention is that Tesla was some what
influenced by this book and so may be the origin of his teleautomatics. In short
the Coming Race is the first book that talks of Robots!
Unfortunately
Hitler also was influenced by this book, linking the Aryan race with the
Vril-ya. As for the Vril, well this was apparently the power source for Nazi
UFOs.
But what is it, well it seems to be the same as Reichenbach's Odic
force, Reich's
Orgone and so on. Also from Lytton's description, it also seems to be the
primary force, the origin of all other forces, i.e. gravity, magnetic, electric
and so on. So Vril can be seen as a sort of unified field theory.
