By Forest McNabb:
I had been studying independently, but longed to have a group of peers with which to discuss these Infinite Concepts. Meetup.com is a very well designed website that allows anyone to create a group to meet up in real life for whatever purpose you design. Meetup allowed me to get a large group together within a week, and soon after I had a core of eager students ready to learn.
A six month meetup.com group organizer membership costs around $70, and is completely worth the investment. Don’t be discouraged if things don’t pick up right away though, and be happy with whatever students find you. I know that Portland is a pretty liberal-minded town, so the same overwhelming results may not occur everywhere.
Naming Your Meetup
I wanted something very simple, and very powerful. I simple chose “Unarius – Portland” as the name for the meetup group, because the name Unarius already carries a power of its own, and Portland simply gives a region to the name.
The Interests
Meetup will ask you, when you’re creating your group, what interests are relevant to your group. Anyone with their profile containing these interests will get an invite to your Unarius Meetup group. You can only choose a limited number, and these are what I chose, because I felt they were well rounded.
Consciousness · Metaphysics ·Psychics · New Age · Spirituality· Intellectual Discussion ·Science and Spirituality ·Reincarnation · Energy Healing ·Spiritual Growth and Transformation· New Thought ·Higher Consciousness ·Science of Mind ·Past Life Healing ·Spiritual Awakening
Group Description
This is perhaps the most important piece, because it is on your Meetup group landing page, or in other words it’s what someone sees when they find you.
I take absolutely no credit for what I wrote here. The morning I made the Unarius – Portland group I was guided on the inner by the higher Brothers. I have since recieved many compliments from different people who joined the group on how well I described the group, and how excited they were when they read it. I encourage you to use this description verbatim, as it has served me and my peers very well.
“UNARIUS is UNiversal ARticulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science. We must banish the mysticism surrounding spirituality and the psychic arts through developing our concept of it as a true, sensible, factual science. Through advancing our understanding of scientific concept, we increase our understanding of our world and the Infinite, and so move ourselves forward in our spiritual evolution. The Unarius learning center in California was founded by Ernest L. Norman and his wife, Ruth Norman. Theirs was a mission to bring to us an articulate, ever-expanding guide to understanding of our reality. While studying the texts channeled by Dr. Norman is massively beneficial to understanding Truth, “Truth is a many faceted gem,” and our journey to it has many roads.
Making Your Meetup Page Look Pretty
Feel free to use the banner I used on the Unarius – Portland page, and find a nice backdrop of space or something by searching for images on google’s image search. Stay away from images of flying saucers and the like, as the obsession with aliens and the space fleet landing has done a lot of damage to the Unariun mission in the past. You can read more about that by clicking “UFOs and Unarius” on the upper right hand corner of the Unarians United website.
Scheduling Meetups
Our first meeting was an introductory meeting letting people know more about what Unarius means. I was fortunate enough to have Tom Miller, whom I’d never met before then, attend the meeting I hosted, and he brought a lot of power through, into our meeting.
It is important that every time you schedule a meetup, you allow the meeting to progress organically, and you don’t have some pre-planned lecture to give. Your role as the organizer is that of a moderator. Control the flow of the discussion, but make sure it’s just that, a discussion, and above all, let your ego slip away from you and allow the Brothers to come in and speak through you. As a moderator, be sure to keep a continuing dialogue with Tom or myself.
Some suggested talking points:
Get them to UnariusUnited.com We’ll get you some cards for you to pass out to the students who come, as well as, of course, some books. But at Unarians United, students are able to connect with every other Unarius Student around the world, and get access to any book that interests them. I would be appalled to learn that through my own distractions and hangups, I held back a student who was eager to dive in and keep swimming, as I’m sure you would be too. With access to UnariusUnited.com, there is no limit.
Bridging the Gap Between Science and Spirituality
The Interdimensional Nature of the Energy
The True Scientific Method This is how Nikolai Tesla worked. Instead of guess, test test test test, confirm guess or accidentally discover something crazy different that you don’t understand, the true scientific method is conceiving of an idea on the Inner, a vision, per say, and then connecting that higher inspiration into the third dimension by creating its physical manifestation.
A Final Note
I wish you success in your mission. If you remember anything though, remember these two things.
Always ask for help. Your brothers on this world and in the inner are always ready to help and guide you in all things.
You don’t care if people don’t show up or don’t study. Everyone is going to study exactly how much they want to, and there’s nothing you can do about it. If their lack of interest frustrates you, take a step back and look to yourself, for that frustration inevitably stems from not satisfying your own goals for learning. As Kung Fu said, “Don’t complain about the snow on your neighbor’s roof when your own doorstep is unclean.”
So learn, love, and launch yourself into the never-ending path to Infinite understanding.
And as a million dollar film franchise once said, “May the Force be with you.”

Thank you Forrest for the inspiration to go ahead and start a meet-up here in San Diego. I have followed the guidelines you have provided here. Search UNARIUS – San Diego at Meetup.com and be sure to adjust the search to “anywhere”. I want to thank you. You are truly inspired in all that you have done in setting up the first meet-up hopefully to expand around the U.S. and the world. As of now, we have 14 members in our meet-up group and that is without even promotion which I had planned. Our meet-ups will progress along the line of listening to and discussing each Lesson in the ICCC book. Any other suggestions you may have are appreciated. I hope to make it as successful as possible with the help of the other students here in the area.
Thanks again, Gloria
I have been reading the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation and came across the following passage which I wanted to share because it answered questions I had in regards to how I would be handling my own input during the meet-ups and thought it might be helpful to others.
It comes from Lesson 11, “Questions and Answers” section and is the first question and answer as follows:
“Q – How can we approach those who are not yet in this understanding, or break the ice to them and yet hit the nail on the head?
A – You have a very good point there and a very common one with all true seekers of Truth. First, in order to give something to someone, we must have it ourselves. Now there is a certain relationship which we brought about tonight and when you come in contact with these higher minds and dimensions and work through and with these individuals and organizations such as Shamballa (now Unarius) in these various spiritual alliances, you will find that you will not suffer such contradictions in your spiritual work. You will then find that you will go to people who will have first asked that a new spiritual relationship be given to them. They will have been prepared; there will be a certain rate of vibration or a spiritual umbilical cord vibrating between you and the person of that group so that you will go to them prepared and they will be prepared to receive you. There will be no resentment; there will be acceptance and everyone will have a good time.
Do not, at any time, presuppose that you can go to anyone whom you might see, who does not quite coincide with what you have and expect them to accept your interpretation because we must always remember that the Infinite is infinitely Infinite, and that you can never see life as the other person does, and they can never see what we see until they want it, ask for it, or until they are ready for it. We may know we have some facet of truth, or that we are a little farther along the line in our evolution than he who may be ‘doing the other fellow before he does him’. That does not give us the prerogative, the premise to encroach upon his domain of personal interpretation of life. That was the point which was so emphatically taught by Jesus. We should knock on their doors, but that knocking is a spiritual one.
Perhaps in a future time and place – and we are not strictly concerned with time – you can, in the hypcognic state or the sleep state, travel out into the astral worlds and contact hundreds and perhaps thousands of souls who are likewise in a suspended state. You can go to them as teachers because now there are differences in vibrations or frequency relationships which enable you to teach them. You are sharing with them your spiritual viewpoints and your experiences. Then they may return back to the earth and in a few months or years time, you may meet them and ask yourself, “Where did I meet that person before?” That person will be ready to receive whatever you have to give in the way of teaching and likewise you can receive whatever he has to share with you; because we must always remember, we are functioning on two levels – both positive and negative. You are both receptive, but you must first give so that you can receive because the vessel of understanding must always be flowing – never full and stagnant.”
Great Gloria!!!!!! You found, in Dr. Norman’s own words what I have been trying to convey since beginning this web site. It is perfect advice for all of us!!!!! Cosmon
Gloria, thank you so much. I have been considering how to go about connecting with others in my area who may be interested in Unarius, and also how to handle my own input when get togethers can be arranged, and this passage by Dr. Norman is exactly the guidance needed!
