Brief History The Unarius Academy of Science is a tax-exempt, non-profit
educational foundation centered in El Cajon, California. The Academy's
purpose is to teach the "connective and higher spiritual understanding
of consciousness as an evolutionary mandate attainable by all individuals
searching for the meaning of life." The word Unarius is an
acronym for Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding
of Science (Unarius Academy of Science: 4).
The Academy's founders, Ernest and Ruth Norman (archangels Raphiel
and Uriel, respectively), met in Los Angeles in 1954 at a psychics'
convention, where Ernest, a scientist, electronic engineer poet,
and clairvoyant, was lecturing on "Inner Contact from the Higher
Beings" (UAS: 6). It was at the convention that they conceived
the Unarius mission. They soon founded the Unarius Educational Foundation
to study the nature of man, his spiritual evolution, and his connection
to the universe.
The next 17 years were building years for Unarius. During this
time, the Normans participated in spiritualism conventions and events
to spread their message. They also authored 20 books, including
Ernest's Voice of Venus, an introduction to Unarius beliefs. The
Normans were able to gather a small following before Raphiel's death
or, in Unarius terms, his "transition to the higher planes
of light worlds" in 1971 (UAS: 6).
Unarius underwent great changes after Ernest's death. Ruth, a charismatic
and flamboyant new leader, provided a great infusion of energy and
motivation to the group (Kossy). She founded Unarius' headquarters
in El Cajon, near San Diego, in 1972. Three years later she created
the Center for New World Teaching for the study of Unarius teachings
and education of students. She also greatly increased the group's
visibility by publishing books and videos about information on the
interdimensional science of life that she had received from higher
beings after Ernest's death.
By her death at age 93, Ruth had published about 80 books and helped
create almost 100 videos and three full-length films (UAS: 6). She
had also overseen the founding of other Unarius centers in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, Toronto, Vancouver, England, New Zealand, Nigeria,
and Poland. Ruth was the foremost leader in achieving greater visibility
for Unarius (Kossy). More Unarius centers are currently being planned
for Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, Turin and Rome, Italy, Romania,
and the Czech Republic.
After her death, Dr. Charles Spiegel (a.k.a. Antares) became director.
A Unarius student and teacher since 1960, Spiegel (born in 1921)
has authored or co-authored more than 30 books for the Academy,
including I, Bonaparte, an autobiography about his past life as
Napoleon of France. Antares experienced his first calling to Unarius
while a student at the University of Southern California in the
1940s. Working one night at a post office, he had a vision of a
beautiful woman smiling down on him. "I've never forgotten
the feeling that someone loved me," he said (Rother: B1). Some
years later when he met the Normans at their home in Glendale, he
realized that his vision had been of Ruth. Spiegel was thus compelled
to Unarius and has served the Academy ever since.
The media began to cover Unarius during the late 1980s, as the
group claimed its membership had grown to about 10,000 and its appeal
had become international. Local publications such as the Los Angeles
Times and The San Diego Tribune began printing short feature stories
on Unarius. Some of these stories, like Mike Granberry's "Spiritual
Group Delves Into Past Lives for Answers," were met with hostility
from the group. The Academy became the subject of great scrutiny
by the media after the mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate group in
March 1997. Its members insist, however, that Unarius has absolutely
no plans for mass suicide, nor does it have any other apocalyptic
tendencies. In stark contrast, the members emphasize the need to
be alive when the Pleiadeans arrive in 2001. Most of all, Unarius
looks forward to the arrival and the subsequent advent of peace
and universal education on earth (Noriyuki: A3).
Sacred or Revered Texts: Unarius Academy of Science publications.
The Normans and Spiegel have authored about 125 texts, which are
printed by UAS' own publishing house. The authors claim to receive
the material for the texts from advanced intelligent beings living
on nonatomic, higher frequency worlds. The Normans and Spiegel have
also published more than 100 video programs that currently air on
30 public access television stations.
Cult or Sect: Negative sentiments are typically implied when the
concepts "cult" and "sect" are employed in popular
discourse. Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote
religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of
pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage
the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative
stereotypes. For a more detailed discussion of both scholarly and
popular usage of the concepts "cult" and "sect,"
please visit our Conceptualizing "Cult" and "Sect"
page, where you will find additional links to related issues.
Size of Group: Unarius claims to have more than 500,000 students
worldwide. Adam Parfrey, a freelance writer whose investigation
of Unarius has included observational research, claims that the
number of home-study students is probably less than 1000. He notes
that the lectures and meetings held weekly at the headquarters in
El Cajon typically draw approximately 60 members (Parfrey: 16).

II. Beliefs The Unarius Academy of Science teaches that human society
has been regressing for many hundreds of thousands of years. Over
this time, man has slowly forgotten his quest for greater self-understanding,
higher consciousness, and a spiritual connection to the rest of
the universe. Most importantly, man has lost touch with his spirituality,
in particular, his spiritual evolution (UAS: 13). This regression
has resulted in eons of war, hatred, poverty, and disease. The invention
and detonation of atomic weapons in the 21st Century was the "last
straw" (Granberry: 5:1).
Mankind's regression will meet its end in 2001. According to co-founder
Ruth Norman, extraterrestrial beings called the Pleiadeans will
come to Earth and initiate a "spiritual renaissance of humankind."
As galactic missionaries, the Pleiadeans will bring knowledge that
will enable mankind to finally achieve peace and end all war, poverty,
and other plagues. Then the missionaries will invite Earth to join
the Interplanetary Confederation of Planets, an alignment of thirty-three
planets in our galaxy. Earth will be the thirty-third and final
member (Rother: B1).
The Pleiadeans' Landing On October 12, 1984, Ruth received a message
from Alta, the scientific leader of the planet Vixall. Alta supposedly
informed her that, in 2001, a single space ship from the planet
Myton will come to earth and land on a submerged Atlantis somewhere
in the Bermuda Triangle. Over the next nine years, thirty-one other
ships will follow, each bearing 1000 "Space Brothers"
(Hoversten: 2A, Rother: B1). By 2010, the 32 space ships will have
rallied on a 73-acre plot of land (bought for them by Unarius) near
El Cajon, California. Then the ships will interlock to form a new
campus for the education of all humans on topics like man's connection
to the universe and man's spiritual evolution. The first representatives
will be the Pleiadeans from the Pleiadean cluster of seven planets
in the constellation of Taurus (Hoversten: 2A, Rother: B1).
Unarius compares the role of the Pleiadeans and the other "Space
Brothers" to that of missionaries or the Peace Corps a role
of love, peace, and education. The missionaries, who all operate
at "higher spiritual frequencies" than humans, will begin
a "spiritual renaissance," teaching mankind the way to
peace and harmonious coexistence. The bedrock of human society will
change: science, government, religion, education. A major shift
will occur in the "psychodynamics" of all people. As a
consequence of this transformation, humans will be compelled to
end all war, poverty, disease, pollution, and other plagues of mankind
(Alta: 11-14). Once the spiritual renaissance has begun, our planet
will be invited to join an Interplanetary Confederation with the
Space Brothers. Earth will be the thirty-third and final member.
Until her death, Ruth was to be earth's ambassador in the spiritual
renaissance (Granberry: 5:1).
The 2001 date for the Pleiadeans' arrival was not the first predicted
by Ruth. Originally, the arrival was supposed to occur on a certain
date in 1974. Unarius went to great lengths to prepare for the landing.
Ruth, who was to be earth's ambassador to the Pleiadeans, gave away
many of her "earthly" possessions, except for elaborate
gowns she had purchased to wear while traveling with the Space Brothers.
Spiegel, Ruth's second-in-charge, even made inquiries to the federal
government about having the National Guard safeguard the landing.
When no space ships arrived, however, the date was reset for 1975.
After no arrival in 1975, Ruth predicted another date in 1976. The
1976 date also passed without success. The date was reset again
when Ruth received Lycenius' message. Diana Tumminia provides a
detailed account of the failed landing dates and Unarius' vain preparation
in "How Prophecy Never Fails: Interpretive Reason In a Flying-Saucer
Group."
Past Life Therapy and Interdimensional Science The Unarius teachings
offer a "science of life" curriculum based on two major
ideas: reincarnation and mastery of the mind-body system. To develop
the latter, one must gain a full understanding of the role of reincarnation
in spiritual evolution. According to Unarius, each individual has
lived millions of lives in many different places, including earth
and other planets in our galaxy. To progress spiritually, the individual
must become aware of his past lives and the connections between
them (UAS: 13-14). Unarius believes that everything that occurs
in life is the result of occurrences in past lives. All positive
and negative events, from tragedies to great luck, are the results
of past life experiences. This concept is similar to the concept
of karma in Buddhism. Everything happens for a reason, and an individual's
lives are all interdependent (UAS: 19-21).
Ruth Norman is said to have lived 55 lives on earth. In her past
lives, she claimed to have been Mary of Bethany, the Buddha, Mona
Lisa, Socrates, Benjamin Franklin, Henry VIII, King Arthur, Charlemagne,
Confucius, Queen Elizabeth I, Peter the Great, Johannes Kepler,
King Poseid of Atlantis, and others. Ernest Norman claimed to have
been Jesus of Nazareth (he supposedly had the crucifixion scars
to prove it), Osiris, and Satan; he eventually overcame his satanic
tendencies by following Unarius practices. Coincidentally, Charles
Spiegel, the current director, claims to have been Napoleon and
Pontius Pilate . the Roman leader who ordered Jesus' death (Kossy).
Once an individual becomes aware of his past lives, he can begin
to solve unresolved problems from his past lives. The past life
problems of Unarius members vary tremendously. In their past lives,
some were cult leaders with domineering personalities; others were
submissive or physically abused (Noriyuki: A3). Ernest Norman and
Charles Spiegel were Satan and Pontius Pilate, respectively. Each
overcame his problems by following what Unarius calls Past Life
Therapy. Past Life Therapy helps students understand the "interdimensional"
nature of their existences. The term interdimensional refers to
the connection between the past, present, and future. Once an individual
fully understands his past and its connection to the present, he
can look forward to the future (UAS: 13-14).
Thus, the individual is awakened to his spiritual evolution. Now
he can really begin progress towards greater spirituality, or a
"higher plane of existence," as Unarius calls it. By following
Past Life Therapy, the individual can expand his consciousness and
realize the interdimensional reality of the universe: that in our
galaxy, on millions of extraterrestrial planets, billions of other
intelligent spiritual beings are also working on their spiritual
evolution. Many of these "Space Brothers" are on much
higher spiritual planes than humans. Therefore, humans on earth
can appeal to the Space Brothers for help in their spiritual evolution
(Granberry: 5:1).
Members of Unarius are in constant contact with the Space Brothers,
who live on planets like Vixall and Myton. The Normans had the most
communication with them, but other members called "contacts"
also communicate regularly and pass on the messages of the Space
Brothers. Many messages provide advice on spiritual evolution, but
others pertain to other subjects. With the aid of the Space Brothers,
students make better progress in their evolution. Therefore, healing
is done from within, though with help from extraterrestrial beings
(Granberry: 5:1).
Life, Death, and the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation Interdimensional
science also explains the dichotomy of life and death according
to Unarius. Death does not signify the end of an individual's existence.
Rather, it is just a springboard to a higher plane of existence.
For instance, when Ernest died in 1971, he attained a greater state
of evolution on another planet in his case, Mars. Today, twenty-seven
years after his death, he still has his headquarters on Mars. He
communicated constantly with Ruth while she was still alive, and
he now communicates regularly with other Unarius members (Rother:
B1). To Unarians, death is a time for higher evolution, possibly
on another planet. Over hundreds of thousands of years, individuals
live on thousands of different planets in different galaxies (Kossy).
Since one's spiritual evolution is eternal, the cycle of life, death,
and moving continues forever.
Through continued advancement in his spiritual evolution, the individual
can achieve the ultimate goal, "psychic liberation." On
an individual level, psychic liberation entails peace of mind, immortality
of the soul, and release from the mental and emotional problems
of earth. On a broader level, the individual develops an understanding
of the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation. Unarius' term for God.
According to Unarius, the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation is
synonymous with energy. It lives within each individual; when the
individual learns of his "god-self" and sheds his isolation
from the universe, he finds the higher attributes of his spirituality.
Therefore, there can be no death, only a continuity of consciousness
(UAS: 19-21).

III. Unarius As A Religion
Unarius has always denied that it is a religion, or even a philosophy.
According to director Spiegel: The teaching of Unarius is not a
philosophy; it is an interdisciplinary approach to an understanding
of life itself. Such an understanding, to be attained, must be based
upon the basic fundamental principles by which life functions. Unarius
is a Science of Life, does not teach as a religion or function as
a religion. Everyone must learn of the psychodynamic functions of
his/her mind in tandem with the brain/body system. Then one develops
a greater awareness of his mental function and of the Infinite Concept
of Cosmic Creation and of one's purpose and place in the universe.
Unarius is not a religion because it is the prescription for healing
oneself from the rituals of dogmatic teachings... The teaching of
this organization is to set the person free from old belief.
Unarius has vehemently denied any suggestion of religious status
since the time that outside sources began questioning the group
about its possible religious underpinnings. Unarius says, for example,
that it cannot be considered a religion because very many of its
beliefs bear no resemblance to the beliefs of any established religion
(Ellwood: 41:398). It claims that it is entirely science-based and,
as such, it goes "beyond the limitations of religion."
Interdimensional science, for instance, is like nothing found in
religions because it explains the past, present, and future; unlike
religions, its explanations do not stop at death (UAS: 22). The
only major faith tradition that Unarius has compared itself to is
Buddhism, which shares Unarius' "purpose in evolving."
Many of Unarius' apparent characteristics, however, do suggest
that Unarius is a religion (Tumminia: 157). According to sociologists
Rodney Stark and William Bainbridge, a religion is a system of general
compensators based on supernatural assumptions. Compensators are
"postulations of reward according to explanations that are
not readily susceptible to unambiguous evaluation." Supernatural
assumptions, subsequently, are similarly non-empirical, and in essence,
unprovable.
This compensator-supernatural assumption tandem is very pronounced
in many or Unarius' beliefs and practices. For example, the concept
of the Space Brothers and the prophecy of their arrival constitute
a reality that is both a compensator and a supernatural assumption.
The Space Brothers' existence is fundamentally a supernatural assumption
unprovable by empirical evidence (Stark and Bainbridge). The prophecy
of the arrival of the Space Brothers, in contrast, constitutes a
compensator; it is the promise of rewards for Unarian efforts on
earth. Compared to humans, the Space Brothers have superior intelligence
and power in terms of their spiritual evolution. Therefore, there
is a qualitative, as opposed to quantitative, difference between
the Space Brothers and humans. In a broader context, the arrival
promises the union of Unarians and their galactic mentors.
Like some Eastern religions, Unarius believes in reincarnation,
the connection between lives, and the ability to identify past lives.
The Unarius concept of the connection between lives bears similarities
to the concept of karma in Buddhism, although they differ in some
respects. According to Unarius, everything in life happens for a
reason that results from past lives (UAS:19-21). Each individual
can trace his life to causes from his past lives. Consequently,
therapy does not limit itself to the present lifetime; it spans
every lifetime the individual can remember, and maybe more lifetimes
(Noriyuki: A3). Past Life Therapy, possibly Unarius' fundamental
therapy, helped Ernest overcome a past lifetime as Satan (Granberry:
5:1). The concept of Satan and, more broadly, of good and evil suggest
the awkward influence of Western religious thought on Unarius' beliefs.
Unarius also relies on practices that resemble those of religions.
Channeling is the best example. Until his death, Ernest was the
prime receiver of extraterrestrial messages. After his death, Ruth
became the prime receiver (Tumminia: 157). She received considerably
more messages on average than Ernest, and was soon writing books,
making videos, and predicting arrivals based on the messages. It
appears that there have always been several channelers for Unarius,
especially after the death of Ruth (Hoversten: 2A). Channeling is
a practice used by various types of new religious movements and
older religious traditions. Unarius also has other rituals that
suggest religion (Tumminia: 157). Several times a year the Academy
has mini-parades and gatherings of special significance, the most
important being the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, which is held
in October and typically draws between 50 and 100 visitors.
Some of the most compelling evidence of Unarius' religious tendencies
is its sacred writings. In total, the Normans and Spiegel have authored
about 125 texts that serve as the scriptures of the group. The total
volume surpasses by far that of the Bible. The texts provide a great
range of information, from stories of past lives to advice on life
to predictions for the future. In combination with videos and other
informational sources produced by Unarius, the texts undoubtedly
comprise Unarius' system of beliefs and practices and serve as a
guide for individuals (Tumminia and Kirkpatrick: 94). Naturally,
the texts are full of information that suggest religion. A great
example is the prophecy of the arrival of the Space Brothers as
predicted by Ruth. This prophecy strongly resembles Stark and Bainbridge's
descriptions of compensators and supernatural assumptions.
The culmination of Unarius' practices and beliefs, including rituals,
sacred writings, belief in non-empirical realities, and prophecy,
provide a system of meaning and purpose (Tumminia and Kirkpatrick:
94-96). Principles such as Past Life Therapy, interdimensional science,
and the general Science of Life all furnish Unarius students with
a means to understand human existence in its past, present, and
future forms. In short, the purpose of human existence is to evolve
spiritually, thereby advancing to greater and greater realms of
spirituality and eventually developing an understanding of the Infinite
Concept of Cosmic Creation. Unarius' system of beliefs can confirm,
explain, or dispel all phenomena, and thus satisfies all questions
of meaning for Unarians. Unarius' belief system does differ tremendously
from belief systems of many established religions. Ultimately, however,
the differences exist mainly on a superficial basis. In belief structure,
meaning, and practice, Unarius designates itself as a religion.
Succession of Leadership The relationship between Ernest and Ruth
changed greatly during the combined 40 years that they led Unarius.
From the conception of Unarius until Ernest's death in 1971, he
was the intellectual, prime channeler, and thus the main leader
(Kossy). After his death, however, Ruth not only assumed the main
leadership role, but she modified it to a great extent. The increased
number of messages she received and her constant activity immediately
helped Unarius grow much faster than it had under Ernest's leadership.
By her death in 1994, Unarius had accomplished tremendous growth
and visibility (Kossy). With her death, however, came questions
about succession of leadership of Unarius.
The identity of the successor to Ruth was never in doubt. Charles
Spiegel (Antares) had been a devout Unarian since the group's early
days. He had been a student and professor at the Academy and Ruth's
right-hand man. During the 1970s and '80s, while Ruth was channeling
messages, writing books, and gaining greater visibility for Unarius
and herself, Spiegel handled much of the responsibility for making
things work (Rother: B1). Spiegel's experience in leading Unarius
certainly suggests that he is capable of leading Unarius from an
administrative standpoint.
It may be very difficult for him, however, to match Ruth's charisma.
During her time as leader, Ruth accomplished a tremendous amount
for Unarius. She had many of the characteristics of a skilled public
figure: intelligence, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude, in addition
to a huge smile and warm personality. Before her death, she supposedly
told her followers to keep her beloved "Space Cadillac"
in running shape; she promised she would return with the Pleiadeans
to claim it in 2001 (Tumminia: 157). Ruth also did a great amount
to institutionalize the group before her death. She picked Spiegel
as her successor and set several objectives for him to follow; the
headquarters in El Cajon were organized, with specific administrative
and functional positions; and other centers were founded in Canada,
England, New Zealand, Poland, and Nigeria.
The most important thing Ruth left Unarius was the prophecy of
the arrival of the Space Brothers in 2001. As channeled through
Lycenius, she depicted the arrival in great detail, with instructions
on how to handle the landing, what to do afterward, and the role
of Unarius in facilitating the event (Tumminia: 157). Ultimately,
the outcome of this prophecy, rather than Spiegel, will determine
Unarius' survival. With the arrival approaching, Unarius has already
begun to prepare, taking painstaking measures to insure the arrival
goes smoothly. Until 2001, Unarius will rely heavily on Ruth's legacy.
If the arrival does not occur, Spiegel may encounter the biggest
challenge to Unarius' leadership in 25 years, since the failures
of the mid-1970s. According to Caitlin Rother, Spiegel has said
that if the Space Brothers do not come, it will just be an indication
that mankind is not ready. The survival of Unarius depends most
of all on the Space Brothers' arrival in 2001.
