4. The Bridge to Total Freedom
A great deal of this chapter relies on the recollections of Jeff Hawkins, a member and official of the Church of Scientology for close to forty years. To tell the story of Jeff's growing involvement in Scientology in the 1960s, and of Scientology's overall evolution and cultural outlook during the 1960s, I relied primarily on four lengthy in-person interviews with Hawkins in the spring of 2007, as well as numerous follow-up phone calls and well over two hundred e-mail exchanges through the summer of 2010. Other essential sources of information on Scientology in the 1960s were Nancy and Chris Many, Jim Dinalci, Mike Henderson, and Dan Koon, all of whom I interviewed personally, and with whom I also conducted subsequent, and lengthy, e-mail exchanges.
For a less subjective view on the era, I referred primarily to Paulette Cooper's The Scandal of Scientology, George Malko's Scientology: The Now Religion, Stephen Kent's From Slogans to Mantras, Roy Wallis's The Road to Total Freedom, and L. Ron Hubbard's own copious writing and taped lectures, notably his policy letters and executive directives. As in prior chapters, biographical and narrative history pertaining to Hubbard and his adventures was drawn from A Piece of Blue Sky and Barefaced Messiah, among other sources.
The description of Scientology's attempted takeover of the National Association of Mental Health is drawn primarily from C. H. Rolph's Believe What You Like, as well as Wallis's The Road to Total Freedom.
