Going ‘out there’ in SoCal bookshop in Santa Ana, we began our trip by visiting The Unarius Academy of Science in The two doctors, DAVID CLARKE and Tom Clark (no relation), spent a week El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego and a two hour drive south on the road in Southern California seeking out UFO contactee cults, quirky out of Los Angeles. Unarius is museums and modern ghost-hunters. an acronym for the ‘Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science’. It was founded in 1954 as a kind of galactic consulate by Ernest and Ruth Norman who had built up a small following through their psychic readings and channelled messages from space people (see FT158:28-33, 271:51-53). Its purpose is “to advance awareness of the inter- dimensional science of life as based upon principles of fourth- dimensional physics”. Ruth styled herself the Archangel Uriel and after the death of Ernest in 1971 she became the public face of Unarius. Her channelling work stepped up a gear, as did the production of her gowns, and she predicted a mass landing of flying saucers in 2001 on a piece PHOTOS: DAVID CLARKE DAVID PHOTOS: of scrubland near the Unarius Most people visit Southern constant and choked with the Amtrak and Metro systems. headquarters.

We set up a base camp near Professor Bader’s office at Chapman University in a quirky little guesthouse called Ruta’s Olde Town Inn. With three rooms, as much breakfast as we could eat, and an interesting display of vintage children’s toys and ephemera, it was located in something of a ghost hotspot, with a number of haunted houses nearby. On the edge of Anaheim, in Orange County, it was a perfect base to begin to explore SoCal. And there’s the thing. Los Angeles is huge.

  • The Imperial Valley Is Located About 150 Miles Southeast of Los Angeles
    The Imperial Valley is located about 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. It is a section of a much larger geologic structure -- the Salton Trough -- which is about 1,000 miles in length. The structure extends from San Gorgonio Pass southeast to the Mexican border, including the Gulf of California and beyond the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The surrounding mountains are largely faulted blocks of the Southern California batholith of Mesozoic age, overlain by fragments of an earlier metamorphic complex. The valley basin consists of a sedimentary fill of sands and gravels ranging up to 15,000 feet in thickness. The layers slope gently down-valley, and contain several important aquifers. The valley is laced with major members of the San Andreas Fault system. Minor to moderate earthquake events are common, but severe shocks have not been experienced in recorded history. The entire trough, including the Gulf is an extension of the East Pacific Rise, a zone of separation in Earth's crust. Deep sea submergence instruments have observed many phenomena of crustal formation. The axis of the Rise, hence of the Salton Valley as well, is a great transform fault that is having the effect of separating an enormous slab of North America, consisting of the Baja Peninsula and coastal California away from the mainland, with movement to the northwest and out to sea as a terranne.

  • THAT INCREDIBLE HIERARCHY of the UNIVERSE by Uriel
    THAT INCREDIBLE HIERARCHY OF THE UNIVERSE By Uriel June 15, 1974 Throughout the ages of the past, and existing within the writings of sages, of the esoteric authors, of the occult, etc., there has been bandied about the word hi- erarchy. Because little, if any, true or complete understanding of this great spir- itual organization of advanced beings exists, thus, a brief resume is in order. First, it should be noted that throughout the more recent volumes of Unarius, various dissertations and discussions were written or signed by the Hierarchy. Throughout ages past, in his search for enlightenment, man has held within his mind a feeling of awe or reverence toward the word hierarchy; and doubtless, many have sensed them to be very advanced beings, living on higher planes of life, which is true. Throughout the entire twenty years of the Unarius Mission, but little was told or entered into regarding this important spiritual organization. Now we learn why! It has been told by these beings themselves! In various places through the more recent series entitled Tesla Speaks, these concepts were related and installed in the texts, but for those who may be interest- ed, and especially in the electronic giant-genius of all time, Nikola Tesla, let it be known here and now that this great soul is indeed the leader of these spiritual be- ings and this great organization—he and his polarity Uriel. One section or part of the Hierarchy is called the Logoi and is thirty-three in number. These souls are all very advanced spiritual scientists who have come and gone many times to the earth plane, working on this great mission for mankind.

  • "THE INFINITE CONCEPT of COSMIC CREATION" by Ernest L. Norman
    <cover front> "THE INFINITE CONCEPT of COSMIC CREATION" by Ernest L. Norman -12 About The Author Any attempt at a thumbnail biography that would accurately and fully portray the life of the author would be a gross disservice. Sufficient to say the future history of the world will unquestionably prove the author to be, without exception, the greatest mind and the greatest outlet of interdimensional, cosmic knowledge the world has ever known, for he has indeed proven beyond any ques- tion of a doubt that he works with and from a higher world. The most expressive segment of his life’s work began with World War II, and through that shadowy period of Earth’s history, he aptly demonstrated the ability of a well-trained, clairvoyant mind to countless thousands of people, and particularly to the wives, mothers, and sweethearts of the servicemen overseas. He accurately described past, present, and future incidents in the lives of these servicemen and to any and all others. They were met in all kinds of places and under varied conditions, and usually each meeting was accompanied by miraculous healings and adjustments. His true mission in life, however, did not begin until 1954 when he met and married Ruth. From that time on, he began pouring forth a wealth of literature which ran the gamut from ethereal poetry, philosophy, psychology, evolution, life after death, the spiritual dimensions, as well as the most profound fourth—dimensional discussions on matter, time-space, etc. Through the channel of the mail service, this great explosion of wisdom began to reach many thousands of people—some in foreign countries.

Recharge into the area is almost exclusively from precipitation in the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino Mountains. About 500 acre-feet per year of recharge enters the western part of the area as underflow through Pipes Wash. Little direct recharge occurs as a result of precipitation directly on the unconsolidated deposits. Presently about 11,000 persons reside in the area and current gross pumpage is about 1,600 acre-feet annually.
