* Life Control, Life Enhancement (Note: Jon Peniel used a different pseudonym, C. Elliot Hilton, for this book, published in 1984)

Jon Peniel is a psuedonym given to him by his "spiritual teacher" (as he stated in a Jeff Rense interview). His real, legal name is not known.

In the LTA book he claims to have studied under a teacher named Zain, who he also affectionately referred to as "Father", in Tibet, where he achieved "Enlightenment" at age 21.

A recent book, The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family, states they believe that one of their members, "Zoroaster" (a great guitar player, by the way) used Source Family history as the basis for the Lost Teachings of Atlantis Book. There is also a two and a half hour documentary DVD describing Jim Baker. Both book and DVD are available from Amazon.com, and released in 2007.

It is not known if Peniel is connected to Elbert Benjamine who was also known as C.C. Zain. Jon Peniel has stated that C.C. Zain is the author of the Sacred Tarot (published in the 1920's by the "Brotherhood of Light") but said that C.C. Zain was *not* the Zain he spoke of in the LTA book. Peniel HAS stated that Eugene Ferson (author of Science of Being) was Zain's "true spiritual teacher", which conflicts with the Source Family's claims about Jim Baker.
