Ruth Norman's great drive lay in her visionary awareness of the reality of life as a progressive development to higher states of intelligence. This knowledge was a part of her because of her own spiritual development as a hierarchical member of the Unarius Brotherhood. Although, like Ernest Norman, her humbleness was such that she took no credit and simply stated that she was merely the secretary to Infinite Intelligence, one cog in the great wheel of the Infinite Cosmos, the higher self of Ruth Norman (Uriel) is of a vast development, a Universal Radiant Infinite Eternal Light. She has long worked for the benefit of humankind, by the side of Raphiel and others of the Unarius Brotherhood, throughout many, many lifetimes of great significance in the history of Earth and other worlds. Her previous lifetimes, as Socrates, Peter the Great, Charlemagne, Queen Elizabeth I, and Queen Maria Theresa have shaped the future for many countries—all a part of a one-million year progressive plan for the healing of humankind on Earth, which was set in motion by the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Unarius Brotherhood. Her inspirational example continued through her lives as Hatshepsut, Akbar of India, Quetzalcoatl, Atahualpa—the last Inca of Peru—and many others. These lives have been relived and recognized through the course of her recent incarnation as Ruth E. Norman, for the purpose of man's enlightenment concerning the true identity of the many advanced spiritual teachers and leaders who have kived on Earth throughout its history and prehistory in Lemuria and Atlatnis.

Perhaps most significant is the true story of Uriel's incarnation as Mary of Bethany, the betrothed and thirteenth disciple of Jesus of Nazareth—a prior incarnation of Dr. Ernest L. Norman. This story is related in Uriel's short autobiography, My 2000-Year Psychic Memory as Mary of Bethany.

It is now and always has been the desire and purpose of Uriel to overcome the inertia of individuals and humankind as a whole by presenting knowledge of the Interplanetary Confederation, thirty-two worlds joined in harmony and brotherhood. The future landing of emissaries from each of these worlds will occur when the peoples of planet Earth have opened their hearts and minds to be receptive to the arriveal of these advanced, intelligent beings—the Space Brothers! Their mission is one of peace and friendship; their intention is to invite planet Earth to become the thirty-third member of the restored brotherhood of terrestrial planets within the Milky Way Galaxy!
