Unarius is a non-profit organization[2] founded in 1954 in Los Angeles, California,[3][4][5][6] and headquartered in El Cajon, California.[7] The organization purports to advance a new "interdimensional science of life" based upon "fourth-dimensional" physics principles.[7][8] Unarius centers exist in Canada, New Zealand, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and various locations in the United States.[9][10][full citation needed]
Unarius is an acronym for "Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science".[11][12][13][14] The founder, and subsequent "channels" and "sub-channels", have written books filled with channeled dissertations from alleged advanced intelligent beings that exist on higher frequency planes.[15] Over 100 volumes have been published since 1954.[16]
