Bare-Faced Messiah (PDF) - Apologetics Index

He said Sara had hypnotised him in his sleep, commanding him not to write. Sara told him to keep
away from the Foundation and in Elizabeth Dr Winter and others had slipped him a mickey in a
glass of milk. These were all his engrams. "You know, Barbie," he said, "I'm always ready for a
glass of milk." Then they attempted to insert a fatal hypo into his eye and heart. He was telling me
these were the engrams he was running. Dick de Mille was auditing him and these were engrams
he was running. This, according to him, explains his heart somatic - pains in his heart. They said to
him that he would never write again (Winter and Elizabeth people).
I made him talk about new ideas. We spent a lot of time discussing metaphysics. Three days later
he was working regularly on the book. He became very enthusiastic again, began singing and
horsing around. We had long sessions in kitchen, talking, laughing and discussing ideas in the
early hours.
He talked about what he was going to do to psychiatrists. How he brought psychotic into present
time in psychiatrists office and how that psychiatrist said to him "If you think you've cured this
woman you're crazy. If you claim to cure people by doing that, if you're not careful, we'll lock you up."
He laughed and laughed. Then, tearing indignantly at chicken leg, he said "They all came to me
and said I was a psychotic. Hah. They called me a paranoid. Can you imagine?"
Barbara's journal: "My blood ran cold as he was saying that and It was all I could do to keep from
weeping. Wouldn't it tear your heart out coming from the one you love when you knew all the time
was a psychotic and a paranoid?" Palm Springs was wonderful. Ron hugged and kissed me. He
was gay and happier than for long time. I was happy because I made Ron happy. In 3 weeks he
packed up and went back to LA - I felt something was brewing.
I was press and PR director for foundation. He came looking for me a week later, paced before
empty fireplace in an empty room and told me Sara was in a psychotic spin, that Miles Hollister had
seduced her. He found letters and that Miles was conspiring with Ceppos and Winter and other
plotters to gain control f foundation.
Next day he was white-faced, his hair uncombed, he was depressed and distraught. "Don't ask me
anything, please. I'm in a very bad way. I'm going to the desert for a few days alone. Things are very
bad. I am not well at all."
The kidnapping was the following Friday.
The Foundation was in the old Governors' mansion at Adams and Hoover.
Ron subsequently told me the "real story". Ron, following a hunch, stopped at his apartment before
going to the desert on Friday, and discovered that Sara and Miles had made plans for a San
Francisco psychiatrist to commit him to a mental institution. He hauled off at Miles, threatened his
life and escaped with Sara. The next news was that he was being questioned by FBI in Chicago,
then with the Attorney General in Washington, then back in Elizabeth. The LA Foundation went
bankrupt and was ordered to close in the East. I had his clothes but no one had heard from him.
Apr 19: Ron called from Wichita, he had completed his book in Havana. He told me he was not
legally married. His first wife had not obtained divorce until '47 and he was married in '46.
According to him, Sara had served a stretch at Tahatchapie (in a desert woman's prison) and was
a dope addict. He said he loved me and asked me to come to Wichita.
Apr 28: Called Ron in Wichita. Jack Molony from Elizabeth answered the phone and said he was ill.
