Heaven’s Gate, an American cult founded in 1974 by Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite, was known by various names over the years, including Human Individual Metamorphosis, Bo and Peep, and Total Overcomers Anonymous. The group advocated extreme self-renunciation, even to the point of castration. It gained widespread attention in March 1997 after 39 members committed suicide in a suburb of San Diego, California.

Acting on an anonymous tip, police entered a mansion and discovered the bodies of 21 women and 18 men, all dressed in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers. This tape features Do (aka Marshall Applewhite), in his final attempt to communicate with humanity. He claimed to be a representative of the “level above human/next level.”
