Returning to the United States in 1975, Mr. Hubbard devoted his energies to the founding of the Church of Scientology’s Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida. To fulfill a pressing need for instructional films on the disciplines of Scientology, he then moved to Southern California, where he wrote and produced numerous such films for the religion.

The 1980s culminated in Mr. Hubbard’s completion of his research into man’s ultimate spiritual potentials. After finalizing that research, and, in fact, all the Scientology Scripture he had spent most of his life developing, Mr. Hubbard departed this life on January 24, 1986.
