Are You an Ant or a Grasshopper?
Written By Ernest L Norman in the 1960s
Man has through the ages been duped by innumerable religious systems including Christianity which have all promised to those who believe, that some gods or master will someday pick them up in a basket, so to speak, and transport them to a land of plenty and eternal bliss. Such teachings and beliefs are not only fallacious but are also destructive.
Under the great universal principle of cosmic regeneration, all forms and substances must progressively evolve. From the inner plane the hydrogen atom evolves into the helium atom and finally into uranium; likewise in the same manner the human must progressively evolve. This is reincarnation. Unless this evolution is sustained progressively and constructively all past dispensations which are evil, selfish, malicious and negative (destructive), will remain as part of any human and in subsequent evolutions will snowball in effect to the point where the human becomes mentally and physically sick from any one or dozens of incurable conditions.
He is literally trapped in the miasma drifts of yesterday piled high by the howling winds of adversity and despair. He starts jumping to anything which seems to offer relief from his conditions. He will go from doctor to doctor, from practitioner to practitioner and from religion to religion, seeking an escape but finding none, nor will he ever find relief from his karmic past until he has sincerely dedicated himself to prepare for the future. Then, as he begins to acquire knowledge of the future, he will quite naturally acquire its usage. Gradually as knowledge and usage are so acquired, the past and all its sins, iniquities and attendant illnesses are discharged and this person is then so constructively regenerating himself into his new world. Unfortunately, as of today, no religion possesses or teaches true knowledge of the future. True religion is not a science. The Infinite Intelligence is the greatest scientist and in being the greatest Scientist also becomes the substance and form of His Creations. All religions, including Christianity are predicated upon the old escape mechanism — the so-called “divine intercession” and as long as any individual believes in them he is hopelessly lost.
Likewise, present-day science is purely materialistic or 3rd dimensional and deals only with certain reactionary principles or physical laws which have to some extent been sustained through repetitious experimentation. There is however at least one place in the world of today where all the necessary pertinent and vital life-giving knowledge of the future can be obtained. Not only is it so obtainable in a concise and easily understood way but to any person who is so sincerely dedicated to the future and begins to assimilate this knowledge, there will also come extra added benefits which manifest in his immediate future.
Through a great spiritual organization which has made this future knowledge so obtainable there are actually millions of advanced personalities working in their various and associated fields of endeavor. They will be attuned to this dedicatee and give to him added power and stimuli which always helps this person achieve a great life-transforming miracle in his life and in this respect there are many thousands of people who would so testify! In fact all people without exception who have in some way touched this Center of dispensation have been helped even though it may not be apparent to them in that particular way or perhaps the help occurred so naturally that they were not even conscious of its occurrence!
At this point you may be asking, “Where is this Center of dispensation; what is it called and how can I get in touch with it?” This Center is called Unarius and additional information contained elsewhere will give you all the necessary knowledge relative to its whereabouts and of its curriculum.
It should be borne in mind however, that any and all who so contact this Center, while they invariably are helped, either if they pursue the curriculum to its fullest extent or whether they fall by the wayside, that any and all attendant help and advantages are only temporary and will not sustain any person unless this person is completely dedicated to the pursuance and usage of future knowledge which is contained in its curriculum. Neither should any person suppose that at any time in the future, near or distant he could abandon pursuance and return to his material life. He must always remember that he is sincerely dedicated to a progressive evolution, one into which he will evolve from the animal-like Earth life and unto a higher state of consciousness and its attendant new world.
“To Be or Not To Be” a Grasshopper
Part Two By Ernest L Norman (While still residing on Earth)
From time to time we here at the Center receive letters from students who say they haven’t had time to study lately or that seasonal activities have taken up all their time, or various other excuses have been used whereby they hope to pacify us and themselves for their lack of energetic study and application.
Almost needless to say such procrastination and lackadaisical efforts won’t insure any tangible results. One of our biggest problems is in getting the student to realize the extreme importance to himself of his study and application; to realize it is an actual life and death situation. When we receive these excuses we are somehow reminded of the old classical fable The Grasshopper and the Ant — one which everyone knows; how the grasshopper played all summer while the ant stored food against the winter and when winter came the starved and frozen grasshopper unsuccessfully tried to beg from the ant. However, the Unariun student does not realize that his winter is already here; he is already starved and frozen and begging from the provident “ant”.
The Advanced personalities and Beings from the higher planes of life have, in effect and intent, laid out a sumptuous banquet before him. Strange indeed then that he will use all forms and manners of excuses from approaching the table simply because he must begin to give up his old grasshopper Earth life and begin to live an entirely new and different kind of life. The excuses themselves are unimportant but what is important is this obvious fact: He has, in all effect laughed at these provident people who have laid up these treasures in Heaven and which they are trying to share with the improvident “grasshopper” in his time of stress.
Unarius is not a personal proposition where we are emotionally concerned with students on the basis that our beliefs or opinions must be vindicated. Unarius is an Interdimensional science made available to those who would cease their grasshopper life and start working for a constructive future. If you would like to live an immortal life in the future — a constructive happy life — then you must place this ambition as a “top priority” achievement. Your present earth life and whatever affiliations you may have with it must be of secondary importance, useful only that you are working out and freeing yourself from the past or as a place where you can most logically start your climb into a progressive Infinity.
Your Earth life then should hold for you a creative and recreative message; it should not hold you tightly bound in all its complex emotional vicissitudes. It is only the starting place; if you give it top priority over your preparation for the future then you will still be bound to it. The chains can be broken only by the power of knowledge and your ability to use this power — knowledge which is found nowhere else in this world except in Unarius.
Don’t sell yourself short because if you do you are also selling the Infinite Creator short, as well as all of those who are universally affiliated in helping mankind in his quest for immortal life.

Dr. Norman’s first line picturization of some God or Master coming to pick us up in a basket really cracked me up! Instead, He says, the means to the Higher Worlds comes about through the process of Cosmic Regeneration. We must be dedicated to our progressive evolution by studying Infinite Principles and putting them into action. Anything less means you are a grasshopper.
Well, in a way, I’ve been called a grasshopper. Ruth Norman once said to me that I was treating Unarius like a ‘hobby’. Which was true. She made it clear that it needed to become the top priority, if I was sincere in wanting to progress myself.
So, though it is tough, I’ve been trying to move rubber tree plants ever since!
Greetings Ken, I too had a good laugh and still do when I bring to mind the mode of using a basket for transportation to a land of plenty and eternal bliss.
Dr. Norman’s, “From the inner plane the hydrogen atom evolves into the helium atom and finally into uranium; likewise in the same manner the human must evolve”. I have found this evident throughout my life. When I look within and without,I see this in action, and will continue to look forward to my next incarnation to continue with transforming from a piece of dust to a brilliant diamond.
I had been within hearing range of Ruth Norman saying to students how important it is to study and to make it a top priority. I knew, that by me being in that same vicinity and within hearing range, that those words were meant for all and that included me! When Ruth spoke, her words vibrated and you could not hide the grasshopper in you.
Ken,how many rubber trees are you talking about?
Love and Light,
Lesley
Dear Lesley,
Very cute! You must be Clairvoy-Ant…it’s not the quantity, it’s in the “trying” that counts.:)
Love and Light back to you Kiddo!…..Ken
Greetings Ken,
Clairvoy-Ant, that’s a good one! Love the humor.:)
All I need do is look back in time at other lives that I have lived, and some happenings in my earlier years this lifetime to know, that I need to study the Infinite Principles on a daily basis and as you said,”putting them in action”.
I love and enjoy very much communicating with students on this site. There is always something to be learned from their postings. This site carries with it Healing Energies of the Highest Frequency and we all benefit.
Love and Light Always,
Lesley
Dear Lesley,
I totally agree! Sharing ideas and experiences is just plain fun…especially with those on the website who can understand. It is sort of like we are a congregation of ‘seagulls'(besides, of course, being Ants);)
What I mean by that, is this. When I first discovered the Unarius books, I’d drive to a special parking lot during my lunch hour, and read away. It was here that I witnessed an incredible bird doing ‘back flips’ in front of me! He would fly around again and again to catch that current and do his thing…..pure joy! I think, if he could, he’d want to share his fun with other birds.
If you are familiar, Lesley, with the book by Richard Bach called “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”, you’ll see the connection to Unarians United and what I mean. We all get to share and compare our ‘aeronautical’ experiences about this Infinite Flight we’re on.
And…may your Journey be filled with Love and Light…..Ken
Greetings Ken,
Yes, I’m familiar with Richard Bach’s “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”, a great read….and I enjoyed the movie that was later made.
My daughter while in her teens read my copy, enjoyed it, so it now sits these years later in one of her bookcases.
On that Infinite Flight we can go by buggy or warp speed, however the way we choose, at least keep going to get there:)
Another yes to you about the connection to Unarians United.
And too…may your journey be filled with Love and Light,
Lesley
Dear Lesley,
I’m sure any “Love and Light-Infinite Flight” with you aboard will be Triumph-Ant!….Ken
