This is a very critical part of how this fire occurred, and we believe our statement is one of the only ones that addresses it in our fourth demand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bodies were still being pulled from the wreckage when \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/12/08/bay-area-warehouse-scene-threatened-after-decades-of-incubating-art/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warehouse music venues in Philadelphia and Baltimore\u003c/a> were shut down after operating for years. Locally, venues and “warehomes,” where artists live and work, such as \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/12/16/burnt-ramen-long-running-underground-venue-in-richmond-shut-down/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Richmond’s Burnt Ramen\u003c/a>, were shut down in recent days; in Burnt Ramen’s case, Richmond Mayor Tom Butt had identified the space as potentially being “the next Ghost Ship.” (Richmond City officials have yet to provide a list of violations to the owner of Burnt Ramen to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/12/21/burnt-ramen-supporters-protest-venues-eviction-at-richmond-council-meeting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">justify the space’s closure\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The media frequently seeks to mischaracterize our collective spaces as hedonistic playgrounds. This is a gross distortion,” the letter to the mayor states. “They are sacred spaces that allow us to survive, organize, and flourish in the face of a mainstream culture that often shuns our very existence. Shuttering the spaces that allow us to safely congregate is tantamount to extinguishing our livelihood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, the city’s rent board has been working to pass a law similar to \u003ca href=\"http://nyclofttenants.org/loft-law-101/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City’s loft law\u003c/a>, which guarantees the right of first refusal to residents of warehouses after they’re brought up to code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should also consider an amnesty program similar to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) one last year in order to legalize units, in part to allow for habitability inspections that do not result in mass evictions,” Jesse Townley, Berkeley Rent Board member and punk singer, wrote in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Rent_Stabilization_Board/Level_3_-_General/7.a.(2)_Ghost%20Ship%20Item_With%20Attachments(1).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter to Berkeley City Council\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This story will be updated when new details are learned.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Read the letter to Mayor Schaaf in its entirety below:\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are survivors of the Friday, December 2nd Ghost Ship fire, as well as dear friends of the deceased and committed participants in the underground music scene represented by the event. We have suffered a shattering loss, and in order to avoid further devastation to our community in the long-term, we have the following demands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(1) Announce an emergency eviction moratorium. Out of panic or opportunism, property owners are rashly ousting tenants throughout Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(2) Publicly pledge to offer a clear path forward for artists’ spaces to address safety concerns without risking expulsion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(3) Reassess the housing policies that lead people to live in unsafe residences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(4) Reassess permitting policies that exacerbate unsafe performance spaces. Do so with input from the music community that just lost so many of its pillars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The importance of this last demand is illustrated well by the case of 21 Grand – a venue that did everything it could to legitimately host experimental music but was stymied at every point by an arduous city bureaucratic process. This is the context in which people adopt unsafe performance spaces. The vast majority of the victims of the Ghost Ship fire did not live at the residence, but were attendees of the event that was thrown there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is no coincidence that so many victims of the fire were queer, trans, and/or people of color. The media frequently seeks to mischaracterize our collective spaces as hedonistic playgrounds. This is a gross distortion. They are sacred spaces that allow us to survive, organize, and flourish in the face of a mainstream culture that often shuns our very existence. Shuttering the spaces that allow us to safely congregate is tantamount to extinguishing our livelihood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the fire, developers and landlords have ramped up the systematic displacement of individuals residing in warehouses and other such improvised homes. As artists, we have been greatly impacted by their actions; however, we understand that these recent threats to our housing are but a facet of the broader context of gentrification that has long displaced marginalized citizens of Oakland, including people of color, queer individuals, the disabled, the elderly and other low-income residents outside of our arts communities. Continuing to shutter and penalize collective spaces at this time will only exacerbate displacement; it teeters the housing-insecure towards the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have publicly expressed your desire to defend Oakland’s diverse artistic and musical community. You have the chance to prove your commitment to this goal by acting upon each of our aforementioned demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>——————————————————————————————————\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 1000 people from our community have signed onto this statement in the last 24 hours. They also left impassioned comments regarding the impact of this fire.

We have suffered a shattering loss, and in order to avoid further devastation to our community in the long-term, we have the following demands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(1) Announce an emergency eviction moratorium. Out of panic or opportunism, property owners are rashly ousting tenants throughout Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(2) Publicly pledge to offer a clear path forward for artists’ spaces to address safety concerns without risking expulsion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(3) Reassess the housing policies that lead people to live in unsafe residences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(4) Reassess permitting policies that exacerbate unsafe performance spaces. Do so with input from the music community that just lost so many of its pillars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The importance of this last demand is illustrated well by the case of 21 Grand – a venue that did everything it could to legitimately host experimental music but was stymied at every point by an arduous city bureaucratic process. This is the context in which people adopt unsafe performance spaces. The vast majority of the victims of the Ghost Ship fire did not live at the residence, but were attendees of the event that was thrown there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is no coincidence that so many victims of the fire were queer, trans, and/or people of color. The media frequently seeks to mischaracterize our collective spaces as hedonistic playgrounds. This is a gross distortion. They are sacred spaces that allow us to survive, organize, and flourish in the face of a mainstream culture that often shuns our very existence. Shuttering the spaces that allow us to safely congregate is tantamount to extinguishing our livelihood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the fire, developers and landlords have ramped up the systematic displacement of individuals residing in warehouses and other such improvised homes. As artists, we have been greatly impacted by their actions; however, we understand that these recent threats to our housing are but a facet of the broader context of gentrification that has long displaced marginalized citizens of Oakland, including people of color, queer individuals, the disabled, the elderly and other low-income residents outside of our arts communities. Continuing to shutter and penalize collective spaces at this time will only exacerbate displacement; it teeters the housing-insecure towards the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have publicly expressed your desire to defend Oakland’s diverse artistic and musical community. You have the chance to prove your commitment to this goal by acting upon each of our aforementioned demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>——————————————————————————————————\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 1000 people from our community have signed onto this statement in the last 24 hours.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your creeping existential dread, especially in tandem with the knowledge that the Gregorian calendar is an arbitrary, meaningless way to mark the passage of time, and there’s zero logic in thinking the year we call 2017 will be less traumatizing for any of us in any way than the year we called 2016?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this is how I get into the holiday spirit: Lots of ranting, with brief intermissions for eating baked goods and wishing I had some of whatever Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan is on in the “Must Be Santa” video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8qE6WQmNus\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I digress. The fact is, many things happened in 2016 that simply cry out for a good rant. Several of these fall under the category of “proof that sexism and misogyny are alive and well in America.” Some of the events in \u003cem>that \u003c/em>category are both vast and well-trodden territory, and touch on issues that will, over the next four years, affect half of Americans’ access to health care, right to equal pay, right to not have their body parts grabbed by an elected official, etc. Sigh. I got tired just writing that sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s this: \u003ca href=\"http://www.magazine-agent.com/Rolling-Stone/Covers\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> didn’t put a single solitary woman on its cover for the entirety of 2016\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12512006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 738px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/covers.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-12512006\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/covers.jpg\" alt=\"The year in dudes -- aka 'Rolling Stone' covers.\" width=\"738\" height=\"608\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The year in dudes -- aka 'Rolling Stone' covers.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I know, I know. \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> hasn't been relevant for (depending on whom you ask) five to 30 years.

The one \u003cem>almost\u003c/em>-exception to this glaring offense is the March 24, 2016 cover, which Hillary Clinton shared with Bernie Sanders for a cover story with the headline \"Hillary vs. Bernie: American Politics at Its Best.\" (Also: really?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Setting aside for now the implications of an entire editorial staff at a major national entertainment outlet wherein not a single person thought to check if maybe they'd bothered putting a female entertainer on the cover in the past year, I have some suggestions for how things might have gone in a better world.

Kesha. \u003c/strong>One of the most compelling pop music stories of the year is also the saddest: Since 2014, the pop star has been entrenched in a highly public battle to get out of her contract with producer Dr. Luke, whom she alleges in a lawsuit \"sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused [her] to the point where [she] nearly lost her life.\" \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/02/22/taylor-swift-donates-250k-to-kesha-amid-fight-with-dr-luke/\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and other celebrities have all donated money to \u003c/a>help with her legal fees. In February 2016, a New York judge denied an injunction that would have allowed Kesha to record music outside of Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records (which lies under the umbrella of Sony Music).

"content": "\u003cp>This fall, contact was made with an alien from another galaxy. Maybe you didn’t hear about it, but it happened in El Cajon, a few miles from San Diego. A middle-aged being, clad in traditional earth garb — a light-brown suit, white shirt and conservative tie — sat in a chair on a stage, closed his eyes, and began to speak in a slow, hypnotic cadence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greetings, friends,” he intoned. “I have been called the name of Kuthumi and I reside on the teaching plane of Orion and I also have a small dwelling on Eros.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be specific, Kuthumi was speaking through a human, but his message for Earth in these troubled times was of enlightenment and a positive future, a message that’s the gold standard of a group called the Unarians. Every year they gather for the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, a weekend of events open to one and all, events that include communication with those they refer to as the “Space Brothers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, some history. In post-World War II America, flying saucers entered popular culture. Some said that peaceful aliens were concerned about the Earth’s use of atomic bombs and their effect on the galaxy. Others believed the aliens were a mortal threat to all of mankind. It was in this atmosphere that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.unarius.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unarius Academy of Science\u003c/a> was born. The Unarians believed the former, by the way. They are all about love, learning and positive creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/298280840″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was founded by Ernest and Ruth Norman. He was a scientist, a channeler and follower of spiritualism. She had worked as a fruit packer, a maid, a property manager and restaurant owner, among other things, and was interested in spiritualism. Both in their 50s, they met at a psychics’ convention in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1954, they created Unarius, and took the names Archangels Raphael and Uriel. He was, by most accounts, a shy, retiring man, content to channel the words of beings from Mars and Venus into volumes of teachings, ultimately numbering close to 100. She was quite the opposite, a strong, vivacious presence who loved the spotlight. It was a perfect union.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There’s a peace of mind that comes over you. You no longer have that big fear of death.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>They claimed their program of reincarnation, spiritualism and self-mastery was channeled from extraterrestrials, and, as it grew from mail-order books into a brick-and-mortar academy with increasing interest from those seeking answers, Uriel blossomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was a striking figure, a woman fond of dazzling wigs and vibrant gowns that evoked a mix of Glinda the Good Witch and Sun Ra. She said she’d lived for thousands of years, in various mortal incarnations. On camera, she often clutched a golden scepter or a single red rose. She appeared on David Letterman’s show. She drove a ’69 Cadillac with a UFO mounted on the roof and “WELCOME YOUR SPACE BROTHERS!” painted on the side. On special occasions, the UFO popped open to release a flock of white doves. Uriel was and is the guiding beacon of Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLOSqw62GeU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, followers grow humbled and emotional when talking about Uriel, who died in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s a master that came to the planet with a special mission,” explains Unarian Paula Rich Greenwood. “To bring forward these energies and the scientific healing teachings, so that man could learn to heal himself through the understanding of past life therapy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenwood joined Unarius in 1982. The academy says there are currently about 60 members around El Cajon, but thousands around the planet. What draws them to this group?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going through a phase in my life where I was very depressed and planning my own suicide,” Greenwood says, “and I had a near-death experience with a heart attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A colleague brought her to a healing ceremony at the Unarius Center to remove what she calls “lower astral entities.” It worked. She gave up her interest in the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, moving her allegiance to Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nick Sawyer, 25, was 17 when he discovered Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had an experience where my whole body transformed into a radiant vortex of energy and the whole room transformed as well,” Sawyer reveals. “The next day I went to the library as I usually did, and so-called randomly I was taking books off the shelf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he plucked out “The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation” by Ernest Norman, a volume to Unarians what the Bible is to Christians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11223533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11223533\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg\" alt=\"Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel.\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1020x704.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-960x663.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-240x166.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-375x259.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-520x359.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“What happened was when I walked through the door, I knew this is where I was supposed to be, just knew,” says retired minister Stephen Collins, who says he preached in Watts during the 1965 riots. “There was something missing and [Unarius] filled that. ‘Where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going?’ This answered it all.

Step inside, and it’s clearly not a post office anymore. The decor features the bold union of Greco-Roman and 1950s UFO iconography. Doric columns, statues of gods and nymphs, and ropes of plastic flowers hanging from chandeliers, along with flying saucer models and a painting of the galaxy that lights up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are plenty of portraits of Uriel, in all her garish majesty.

Ask them about how they feel clad in the Archangel’s garments, and they visibly choke up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes me feel uplifted when I wear her dresses or her jewelry or her wigs,” says Paula Rich Greenwood. “It’s like I’m floating on a cloud.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11223527\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11223527\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-800x556.jpg\" alt=\"Unarian members model the costumes of the late Archangel Uriel, co-founder of the Unarius Academy of Science, at the group's Interplanetary Conclave of Light.\" width=\"800\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-800x556.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-1020x709.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-1180x820.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-960x668.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-375x261.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unarian members model the costumes of the late Archangel Uriel, co-founder of the Unarius Academy of Science, at the group’s Interplanetary Conclave of Light. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lani Calvert, who became a Unarian in 1983, describes the Uriel-owned dress she’s wearing, a formidable task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my gosh, it’s like an ocean of blue and turquoise leaves with gold streaks of leaves — I guess they’re almost like seaweedy leaves running through it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, the hair is blue.

Maybe you didn’t hear about it, but it happened in El Cajon, a few miles from San Diego. A middle-aged being, clad in traditional earth garb — a light-brown suit, white shirt and conservative tie — sat in a chair on a stage, closed his eyes, and began to speak in a slow, hypnotic cadence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greetings, friends,” he intoned. “I have been called the name of Kuthumi and I reside on the teaching plane of Orion and I also have a small dwelling on Eros.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be specific, Kuthumi was speaking through a human, but his message for Earth in these troubled times was of enlightenment and a positive future, a message that’s the gold standard of a group called the Unarians. Every year they gather for the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, a weekend of events open to one and all, events that include communication with those they refer to as the “Space Brothers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, some history. In post-World War II America, flying saucers entered popular culture. Some said that peaceful aliens were concerned about the Earth’s use of atomic bombs and their effect on the galaxy. Others believed the aliens were a mortal threat to all of mankind. It was in this atmosphere that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.unarius.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unarius Academy of Science\u003c/a> was born. The Unarians believed the former, by the way. They are all about love, learning and positive creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”450″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/298280840″&visual=true&”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/298280840″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was founded by Ernest and Ruth Norman.

She had worked as a fruit packer, a maid, a property manager and restaurant owner, among other things, and was interested in spiritualism. Both in their 50s, they met at a psychics’ convention in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was, by most accounts, a shy, retiring man, content to channel the words of beings from Mars and Venus into volumes of teachings, ultimately numbering close to 100. She was quite the opposite, a strong, vivacious presence who loved the spotlight.

She said she’d lived for thousands of years, in various mortal incarnations. On camera, she often clutched a golden scepter or a single red rose. She appeared on David Letterman’s show. She drove a ’69 Cadillac with a UFO mounted on the roof and “WELCOME YOUR SPACE BROTHERS!” painted on the side. On special occasions, the UFO popped open to release a flock of white doves. Uriel was and is the guiding beacon of Unarius.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/JLOSqw62GeU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/JLOSqw62GeU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>To this day, followers grow humbled and emotional when talking about Uriel, who died in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s a master that came to the planet with a special mission,” explains Unarian Paula Rich Greenwood. “To bring forward these energies and the scientific healing teachings, so that man could learn to heal himself through the understanding of past life therapy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenwood joined Unarius in 1982. The academy says there are currently about 60 members around El Cajon, but thousands around the planet. What draws them to this group?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going through a phase in my life where I was very depressed and planning my own suicide,” Greenwood says, “and I had a near-death experience with a heart attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A colleague brought her to a healing ceremony at the Unarius Center to remove what she calls “lower astral entities.” It worked. She gave up her interest in the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, moving her allegiance to Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nick Sawyer, 25, was 17 when he discovered Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had an experience where my whole body transformed into a radiant vortex of energy and the whole room transformed as well,” Sawyer reveals. “The next day I went to the library as I usually did, and so-called randomly I was taking books off the shelf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he plucked out “The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation” by Ernest Norman, a volume to Unarians what the Bible is to Christians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11223533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11223533\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg\" alt=\"Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel.\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1020x704.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-960x663.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-240x166.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-375x259.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-520x359.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“What happened was when I walked through the door, I knew this is where I was supposed to be, just knew,” says retired minister Stephen Collins, who says he preached in Watts during the 1965 riots. “There was something missing and [Unarius] filled that. ‘Where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going?’ This answered it all.

Step inside, and it’s clearly not a post office anymore. The decor features the bold union of Greco-Roman and 1950s UFO iconography. Doric columns, statues of gods and nymphs, and ropes of plastic flowers hanging from chandeliers, along with flying saucer models and a painting of the galaxy that lights up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are plenty of portraits of Uriel, in all her garish majesty. In fact, many of the women here are wearing the Archangel’s shimmering gowns — stored in specially built closets at the site — for a fashion show. Ask them about how they feel clad in the Archangel’s garments, and they visibly choke up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes me feel uplifted when I wear her dresses or her jewelry or her wigs,” says Paula Rich Greenwood. “It’s like I’m floating on a cloud.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11223527\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11223527\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-800x556.jpg\" alt=\"Unarian members model the costumes of the late Archangel Uriel, co-founder of the Unarius Academy of Science, at the group's Interplanetary Conclave of Light.\" width=\"800\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-800x556.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-1020x709.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-1180x820.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-960x668.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-375x261.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/UnariansModel-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unarian members model the costumes of the late Archangel Uriel, co-founder of the Unarius Academy of Science, at the group’s Interplanetary Conclave of Light. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lani Calvert, who became a Unarian in 1983, describes the Uriel-owned dress she’s wearing, a formidable task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my gosh, it’s like an ocean of blue and turquoise leaves with gold streaks of leaves — I guess they’re almost like seaweedy leaves running through it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, the hair is blue.
