Dr. George King, Our Founder

Early History

Dr. George King was born in Shropshire, England on January 23, 1919. Early in life his deep spiritual interests found expression in traditional Christianity, but he soon learned there was more to life than the orthodox could show him.

First turning to psychic phenomena, he quickly became an adept of this research, delving beneath the superficial nature of things to their causes.

Still looking for more, he began to study yoga. For the next 10 years, he practiced this ancient science for 8 - 12 hours a day until his mastery of terrestrial phenomena and of his mind made him a "Knower."

He was still in his early thirties.

The Command

Determined to help humanity raise itself from universal suffering and ignorance, his life's mission became apparent on May 8, 1954. Alone in his London apartment, a loud physical voice delivered the following Command:

"Prepare yourself! You are to become the voice of Interplanetary Parliament."

He was initially shocked by the implications of this statement. It came out of the blue without warning or explanation. All he knew with his mastery over terrestrial phenomena was that what he had heard, he had heard.

A few days later he was visited by a world-renowned Yoga Master whom he knew to be alive and active in India at that time. This Master, in every way physical, entered and left through a locked door that he did not open.

During the meeting, Dr. King was given a series of highly specialized exercises enabling him to bring about a state of consciousness necessary for the establishment of mental rapport with the Cosmic Masters who inhabit the higher planes of other planets.

In the previous ten years Dr. King had become a Master of Raja, Gnani, and Kundalini Yoga - able to attain the elevated state of conciousness known as Samadhi. It was for this reason that the Cosmic Masters of the Solar System began to use him as "Primary Terrestrial Mental Channel", in order to give their message to Earth.

His Mission had begun.

From the moment of the Command all Dr. King's personal business ambitions were abandoned as the information from the Space Intelligences grew in importance and urgency.

On their direction he founded "The Aetherius Society" and began publishing the journal, Cosmic Voice. He lectured throughout Britain serving as the channel for numerous Transmissions from Cosmic Intelligences.

On May 21, 1959, under the glaring lights of the British Broadcasting Corporation, he demonstrated yogic Samadhi over live television so that a Cosmic Master from another planet could speak to Britain. This unique event was broadcast to an estimated viewing audience of several million.

1959 - 1997 - America

In June 1959, guided by Cosmic Authority, Dr. King came to the United States of America where the Aetherius Society was incorporated as a non-profit organization in November 1960.

Over the next two decades he continued to act as Primary Terrestrial Mental Channel, recording over 600 Cosmic Transmissions from the Space Masters. This collection of transmissions constitutes the most priceless metaphysical library in the world, with a range and depth of teachings without equal in the annals of occult Truth.

During his life, Dr. King also performed and designed several Cosmic Missions. These metaphysical operations are in cooperation with the Cosmic Masters, providing global healing and a greater karmic balance for humanity as a whole.

On July 12, 1997, Dr. King passed away in Santa Barbara, California.

The Cosmic Teachings and Spiritual Missions that he left behind provide the foundation stones of the New Age and are the heritage of us all.
