The context of this film: an hour-long "educational" movie for members or would-be members of the [[http://www.unarius.org/ Unarius Academy of Science]], a NewAge alien/personality cult of sorts. Members believe (among other things) that founder Ruth E. Norman, known in the tabloids as "Spaceship Ruthie", was a physical manifestation of God, or at least of the Archangel Uriel. Her late husband Ernest, who started it all, is thought to be Archangel Raphiel (spelled as shown).

Members believe (among other things) that founder Ruth E. Norman, known in the tabloids as "Spaceship Ruthie", was a physical manifestation of God.
The film itself starts out with a hunky and improbably clean-cut caveman named Zan, who is visited by an alien who tells him that humanity has a higher purpose and how they are reincarnated over and over to learn from their experiences. Zan doesn't believe him, so the alien gives him a vision of his past life, in which he was ruler of a planet and joined an evil planet-destroying empire for power.
