Editing Unarius Academy of Science (section)

== Principles and beliefs ==
Unarius was established to teach the "fourth-dimensional science" {{Aka}} "the Science of Life",<ref name=T2003/> which incorporates such [[New Age]] themes as "harmonic frequencies", karma, reincarnation, past-life memories, channeling, and an elaborate cosmology of "spiritual planets". Central tenets of the belief system include contact with the "Space Brothers" and a millenarian prophecy that predicts a mass landing of starships.<ref>Tumminia, Diana (2005) pp{{nbsp}}5–7</ref>

"The Science" asserts that everything is [[Energy (esotericism)|energy]]: atoms, higher knowledge, bodies, and experiences. This energy "vibrates in frequencies and wave forms".<ref name=T1995p88/>

Unarius belief can be separated into four themes: intelligent life on other planets and galaxies, an infinite creative intelligence, that human beings are developing towards an advanced state of consciousness, and the millennial hope of the advent of a landing.<ref name=S2003p194/>  According to Unarius, the purpose of the research institution is "to awaken the individual to previous life encounters, the clairvoyant aptitude of the mind, and the reality of one's spiritual connection".<ref>Saliba, John A. (2003) p197</ref>

Although the group is generally known for its predictions regarding [[flying saucers]] landing on Earth, Ernest stressed his spiritual teachings as the key to personal development and mastery over material circumstances. In one instance, he derided flying saucer chasers as another manifestation of people pursuing an "escape mechanism".<ref>Norman; ''The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation'', 1960</ref>
