      Ok, so I decided that I dont ever want to live in California. It seems like thats the place that people either start their cult or relocate it to. People's Temple, Heaven's Gate, Manson Family, Scientology, Children of God/The Family and many more... I guess thats why some people call it "Cultifornia"
  • he began to get a following. In 1968, he and several followers drove to Southern California.

  • That morning the chapel was contacted and informed there was a body that was to be gathered and cremated immediately, although the man died a day earlier. Gassett and Bang were told to make sure there was no foul play
  • Gassett and Bang arrived at the ranch where they were met by Hubbard's attorney, Earle Cooley, and his doctor, Gene Denk. "It was like, ‘Here's what happened and we don't want anything else going on here,'" Gassett remembered of their conversation. "‘We just want you to take the body and do the cremation.'"
  • The message from Cooley and Denk was clear that Hubbard was to be cremated immediately. Hubbard had drafted a new will that stated there would not be an autopsy because it violated his religious beliefs. The will was signed, dated, and imprinted with Hubbard's inked thumbprint. The new will, giving more assets to his family than a previous version, was dated the day before he died. At the time he was worth about $25 million.

  • That day, Scientologists were not told that Hubbard died, instead, "L. Ron Hubbard discarded the body he had used in this lifetime ... ." He had achieved a spiritual level "unimaginable," which was achieved "in an exterior state." No longer needing his body and unencumbered by its limits, Miscavige explained, Hubbard could continue to research more advanced levels of Scientology: Operating Thetan, referred to as the OT levels. The crowd broke into raucous applause.
