The Cellular Cosmogony

Cellular Cosmogony, which is Teed's unique form of Hollow Earth theory which puts forth the idea that the Earth, and universe are contained within a concave sphere, or 'cell'. The Koreshans even conducted several experiments, similar to those conducted by believers in a Flat Earth. The most well known was conducted on the beach of Naples, Florida (the Koreshan Geodetic Survey of 1897), a town south of the Koreshan Unity commune at Estero, Florida. Here is the description of the earth from Cellular Cosmogony:

> "The sun is an invisible
> electromagnetic battery revolving in
> the universe's center on a 24-year
> cycle. Our visible sun is only a
> reflection, as is the moon, with the
> stars reflecting off seven mercurial
> discs that float in the sphere's
> center. Inside the earth there are
> three separate atmospheres: the first
> composed of oxygen and nitrogen and
> closest to the earth; the second, a
> hydrogen atmosphere above it; the
> third, an aboron (sic) atmosphere at
> the center. The earth's shell is one
> hundred miles thick and has seventeen
> layers. The outer seven are metallic
> with a gold rind on the outermost
> layer, the middle five are mineral and
> the five inward are geologic strata.
> Inside the shell there is life,
> outside a void."
