Overview
From brochures, we know that the cult called themselves the Disciples of The Caretakers. They believed that an advanced, extra-terrestrial race of beings, which they called The Caretakers, was monitoring the earth and intervening with human civilizations at historic intervals. They claimed that this would explain the mysterious decline of earlier civilizations, such as the Mayans.
Historical Context
The Disciples were most active throughout the 1970s. With the Cold War waging and an energy crisis at hand in America, they posited that The Caretakers would soon return to 'reprocess' human civilization.
