About Ruth Norman
- Ruth E.
- Norman (born Ruth Nields; August 18, 1900 – July 12, 1993), also known as Uriel, was an American religious leader who co-founded the Unarius Academy of Science, based in Southern California.
- Raised in California, Norman received little education and worked from an early age in a variety of jobs.
- In the 1940s, she developed an interest in psychic phenomena and past-life regression.
- These pursuits led to her introduction to Ernest Norman, a self-described psychic, in 1954.
- He engaged in channeling, past-life regression, and attempts at communication with extraterrestrials.
- She married Ernest, her fourth husband, in the mid-1950s.
- Together they published several books about his revelations and formed Unarius, an organization which later became known as the Unarius Academy of Science, to popularize his teachings.
- The couple discussed numerous details about their past lives and spiritual visits to other planets, forming a mythology from these accounts. After Ernest died in 1971, Ruth succeeded him as their group's leader and primary channeler.
- She subsequently began publishing accounts of her experiences and revelations.
- In early 1974, she predicted that a space fleet of benevolent extraterrestrials, the Space Brothers, would land on Earth later that year, which led the Unarius Academy to purchase a property to serve as the landing site.
- After the extraterrestrials failed to appear, Norman said that trauma she had suffered in a past life had caused her to make an inaccurate prediction.
- Undaunted, she rented a building for Unarius' meetings and sought publicity for the movement, claiming to have united the Earth with an interplanetary confederation.
- She revised the Space Brothers' expected landing date several times, before finally settling on 2001.
- Her health declined in the late 1980s, prompting her students to try to heal her with rituals of past-life regression.
- Despite predicting that she would live to see the extraterrestrials land, Norman died in 1993.
- Unarius has continued to operate after her death, and formed a board of directors.
- Since the 2000s, leaders have concentrated on individual transformation leading to spiritual change in humankind.
