Ernest Leland Norman (November 11, 1904 – December 6, 1971) was an American spiritual leader best known for co-founded the Unarius Science of Life and the Unarius Educational Foundation, which later became known as Unarius Academy of Science. Early life Norman claimed to be a genius child prodigy, who at age 7 constructed his first microscope using parts from his telescope, and was very good at math as a teenager. At age 17, he and his family moved to California, where he took evening classes at an unnamed school. At age 23 he married, and it was during this time when Norman began to experiment with clairvoyance, palmistry, and fortune telling.
