On April 3, 1972, Dykshoorn read in the Miami Herald that a Los Angeles bar owner, whose liquor license was revoked, reopened his place as a "church". He changed the name of his establishment from the Hi-Life Bar to the Hi-Life Social Club Church, styled himself the "ancient highest head of the church" and went back into business. Instead of selling beer, he gave it away, allowing the members of his "congregation" to make "voluntary contributions" to his "church". All this was entirely legal-- he could not be touched by the law.
"Do you mean" the Dutch clairvoyant asked the commissioner,"that if I start my own religion, call it the 'Dykshoorn Church' and myself the 'High Priest'--I can practice as a clairvoyant in California, but not otherwise?"
"That's it," the commissioner said.
