Origins of Aetherius

Aetherius is a pseudonym for the first advanced extraterrestrial to contact Dr. George King known to us as The Master Aetherius.

The word is derived from the Latin word aether which comes from the Greek word aither meaning upper air or outer space.

Its literal meaning is one who travels through the ethers of space.

Ether is the mystical element within which all matter exists. Contrary to orthodox belief, there are not four elements, but five – earth, fire, water, air and ether. Ether has mystical properties in that it contains different levels of matter which are not limited to the purely physical realm of existence. The concept of life on higher planes as well as higher planets is fundamental to The Aetherius Society, which was named after the Master who made this first historic contact.
