- Robert De Grimston Moor (known as Robert De Grimston), a former Scientologist, was a co-founder of The Process Church of the Final Judgment with his wife, Mary Anne MacLean, also a former Scientologist. Process Church doctrine states that God is composed of four parts--Jehovah, Christ, Lucifer, and Satan--each of whom must be worshiped in succession in order for the worshiper to attain enlightenment. After the divorce of De Grimston and MacLean in 1974, a small group of members followed MacLean, who established the Foundation Church of the Millennium, which later became Best Friends Animal Society.
- Features the personal testimony of Shayne, in which he describes his drug addiction and effects of various drugs on him (including heroin, cocaine, methedrine, morphine, phenobarbitone, marijuana, and hashish), followed by a 10-page section ("Addiction") of Processean theorizing about the causes of addiction and how the addict might overcome them: "We must lead him towards his own level of activity, teaching him that he is not the victim, but, under GOD, the master of his circumstances."
