The Unarius Academy Missed.



It was just about one year ago that I visited Chuck 'n' Jerry. We contemplated a visit to the Unarius Academy HQ, but since we couldn't get them via phone, we feared they may have dispersed after the death of Ruth Norman. But today I found their up-to-date web site. Apparently they offer regular classes in Mexico and Nigeria. I keep wondering what happened to all of Ruth Norman's weird gowns. You can see one of them at Douglas Curran's web site. His book In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of Outer Space is one of my faves. Here's another I found on the web:

Next time you visit we'll have to visit the Unarians. (But I still think I'd feel like I'm imposing on them since I'm not a believer.)

Hey you don't have to visit in person, you can LISTEN live streaming on the web at Unarius.org then click live stream.

They live stream AUDIO AND VIDEO on Sunday night pacific time from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm except the first Sunday of the month is 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and on Wednesday night pacific time from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm they audio stream only.

They talk a lot about past life relivings, listen to past lectures on tape, and talk about Tesla new energy and many other assorted subjects. They will be talking about "The Secret" book and how some of the concepts relate to Unarius on the first Sunday of July 2pm to 4pm. This class is also free to attend at their main Center in El Cajon, CA, or just live stream via the internet.
