Ernest Leland Norman (November 11, 1904 – December 6, 1971) was an American

spiritual leader and author best known for co-founding the Unarius Science of Life and the Unarius Educational Foundation, which later became known as the Unarius Academy of Science.[1]

Early life

Ernest Leland Norman was born on November 11, 1904 in

.

Before starting the grassroots work for Unarius, Ernest Norman worked for the Borderlands Sciences Research Association as a contributing editor for the Round Robin journal, and also worked as a minister for a Spiritualist church for 15 years.

Unarius Science of Life

In February 1954, Norman met his future wife,

Enoch
carrying the books that Ernest was going to write in his current lifetime.

After their initial meeting at the convention, Norman "channeled" and wrote a book on poetry and prose called The Elysium (published in 1956), which would later be followed by its sequel, The Anthenium (published in 1964). With Ruth's assistance, Norman gave a 12-week lecture called "Pathway to the Stars" in Los Angeles, where he described in detail how energy functions, what he saw in the celestial worlds, psychic protection, and parapsychology. In this lecture, Norman claimed that the people of planet Earth were being guided and watched over by a large fraternal brotherhood called Unarius, which was formerly known as Shamballah or the White Brotherhood on Earth, and that any human being could make contact with these "Higher Beings" (sometimes also called Space Brothers, "Brothers", or "Brothers of the Light") because everyone is capable of using psychic abilities. Eventually, the Pathway to the Stars lecture course was compiled with further articles and printed as a book entitled the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation. The new articles, which included an advanced course based on the initial Pathway to the Stars lecture, further detailed the interdimensional science that Ernest Norman was trying to convey during his lecture series.

It was during this time Norman took on the moniker of the Unarius Moderator, or simply the Moderator. Unarius was officially formed as a nonprofit corporation in the state of California in 1957, as the Unarius - Science of Life.[citation needed]

The Normans and their students put together a series of testimonials of various

spiritual healing that they claimed had occurred because of their tutelage under Ernest Norman. One such claim included that Norman was on Earth in ancient Jerusalem as Jesus,[4][6] and his students had been his followers and enemies, reincarnated once more to heal themselves of the karma they accumulated in that lifetime.[5]

Students also believed that Norman was overshadowed by an Archangel named Raphiel[7] in his earthly incarnations on Earth and in previous lifetimes in other worlds. Archangel Raphiel should not be confused with the biblical Archangel Raphael, as the title of "Archangel" within the vernacular of Unarius means "Supreme Master", and the name Raphiel is an acronym for "“Radiant Absolute Pure Healing Infinite Eternal Light”. The Unariun Archangel Raphiel is part of a hierarchy of Higher Beings who oversee the development of the universe, but do not surpass "God" (called the Infinite Creative Intelligence). The revelations of the Archangels came about when Ruth E. Norman took over as leader of Unarius.

Death

Norman died on December 6, 1971[8] in Escondido, California, due to pneumonia and influenza.[9]
