Zenith Applied Philosophy
Zenith Applied Philosophy (ZAP) is a Christchurch, New Zealand based organisation founded by John Dalhoff (aka John Ultimate) in 1974. ZAP has a world view which is a combination of Scientology, Eastern mysticism and the ideas of the American John Birch Society.〔Spoonley, Paul ''The Politics of Nostolgia'' Dunmore Press, Palmerston North, NZ, 1987. pg 82-87〕 There was extensive overlap between the organisation and the Tax Reduction Integrity Movement.〔 Members (sometimes called students) abstain from drugs and practice "mental discipline and applied philosophy".〔
Others characterise the group as primarily Gnostic and Jungian in worldview, far more so than in Scientology.
== Founding ==
While studying at Massey University in the 1960s John Dalhoff became attracted to the Church of Scientology and in 1965 travelled to the United Kingdom to study at the Saint Hill Manor Scientology Centre, returning to New Zealand as a full-time Scientology worker.〔 However, in 1972 he was expelled from the church for "failure to comply with the ethical codes of the Church of Scientology"〔''Letter from the Church of Scientology'' dated (1977-02-12). cited in Spoonley pg. 82〕 In August 1974 he declared that he had reached "the ultimate state" and on September 7 announced publicly that he was "John Ultimate" and that his Christchurch home was the center of the universe. ZAP members phoned world leaders to inform them of Dalhoff's revelation. He and another ZAP member were later charged with obstructing a road when trying to inform a passerby. The Church of Scientology placed ZAP out of bounds to its members.〔
