Vaults, Shrines, and the Legal Structure David Miscavige Created to Shield His Interests

How the Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) Became the Crown Jewel of Miscavige's Scientology and the Weak Link in Its Legal Armor

There’s a Church inside Scientology that holds the movement’s deepest secrets, most bizarre obsessions, and most carefully guarded power.

It’s not the Church of Scientology International (CSI).
It’s not the Religious Technology Center (RTC), where David Miscavige rules with no listed board and no visible oversight.

It’s the Church of Spiritual Technology “CST”.

And it may be the most damning evidence yet of how David Miscavige built a system of corporate deception to control a religion, evade liability, and silence critics—while hiding in plain sight.

CST Isn’t Hidden Anymore; It Just Pretends It Doesn’t Matter

CST was quietly incorporated in 1982, with the stated purpose to:

“Expose, present, propagate, practice, ensure, and maintain the purity and integrity of the religion of Scientology, as the same has been developed and further developed by L. Ron Hubbard…”

This was never meant to be a front-line church. It was designed to hold the crown jewels: trademarks, copyrights, real estate, and doctrinal purity.

For decades, CST operated in the shadows.

But that’s no longer true.

Today, CST is actively:

• Purchasing and maintaining multimillion-dollar properties allegedly reserved for Hubbard’s reincarnation

• Constructing nuclear-bomb-resistant vaults to store Scientology “tech” for eternity

• Owning and operating key pieces of Scientology’s global financial and doctrinal infrastructure

And yet, despite all that, it has:

• No public website

• No spokesperson

• No visible ministers or congregants

• No legal accountability to the people funding its operations

This is not a church in the religious sense. It is a corporate holding entity, and more importantly, it’s the final legal firewall between David Miscavige and the lawsuits, subpoenas, and tax scrutiny he’s spent decades avoiding.

CST Owns Hubbard’s Houses and Claims He Might Still Return

CST owns and maintains multiple L. Ron Hubbard properties across the U.S., including:

• Twin Peaks, CA (believed to be CST’s HQ and where Shelly is hiding or being hidden)

• Creston Ranch, CA (where Hubbard died)

• New Mexico (site of a CST vault)

• Clearwater, FL (residential properties)

• Beverly Hills & LA (recorded under CST or affiliated trusts)

These homes are fully staffed and maintained as if Hubbard could walk back in the door at any moment. Closets are stocked. Toothbrushes are placed. Even vehicles are fueled and serviced.

These sites are not churches. They’re shrines, built and sustained with tax-exempt donations, despite offering no religious services to the public.

CST Builds Underground Vaults with Gold-Plated Tech

Even more astonishing is CST’s vault program:

• Underground, nuclear-resistant bunkers have been built by CST in places like Trementina, NM and Twin Peaks, CA

• The “LRH Archives Project” involves engraving Hubbard’s lectures and writings onto steel plates, stored in titanium capsules, placed in deep, fortified vaults

• Some vault entrances are marked from the air with massive CST logos carved into the landscape

CST claims these projects exist to preserve Scientology in case of global catastrophe.

But this is not religious worship.
It is intellectual property preservation disguised as religion.
And it’s being funded with nonprofit dollars, under the authority of a nonprofit charter that binds CST to doctrinal purity.

But David Miscavige Rewrote the Religion

Here’s where the legal exposure begins.

CST is legally obligated to protect:

“The religion of Scientology as founded by L. Ron Hubbard.”

Not modified.
Not updated.
Not rewritten by “COB.”

But since taking power, Miscavige has:

• Reissued LRH books with altered text and formatting under “Golden Age of Knowledge”

• Reconstructed training materials and auditing protocols under “Golden Age of Tech”

• Invalidated previous courses, certifications, and declared longtime loyalists suppressive

• Canceled or suppressed original LRH policies that didn’t fit his PR or power strategy

CST is still legally required to protect the original works but it is promoting and archiving Miscavige’s altered version of the religion instead.

That is not just hypocrisy. That is a violation of CST’s founding legal charter.

Who’s Really in Control?

Let’s look at CST’s current structure.

As of 2024 and 2025 filings:

• CEO: Sara Reyes

• Secretary: Jane McNairn (original incorporator, longtime Lenske affiliate)

• CFO: Arthur Bolstad

• Agent for Service: Guy Maisnik, a high-profile real estate attorney

There are no clergy listed, no parishioners, no congregation.

There are no “members” at all.

All power resides in a small inner board, appointed and preserved through legal mechanisms engineered in the 1980s by Sherman Lenske and team under David Miscavige’s direction.

This structure was created so Miscavige could deny legal control while exercising total control behind the scenes.

The Legal Case

Here’s the argument a prosecutor, IRS investigator, or whistleblower could make:

1. CST is a nonprofit bound to protect original LRH doctrine

2. Miscavige has replaced that doctrine with his own versions

3. CST still funds, archives, and promotes his altered version not LRH’s

4. CST holds massive assets, operates no services, and benefits a small group of insiders

5. Miscavige is not listed as an officer, but orchestrates all appointments and decisions

This is a textbook charitable trust violation
It may be a case of nonprofit fraud
It opens the door to civil racketeering liability, especially if this structure has been used to:

• Evade lawsuits

• Launder power across shell corporations

• Mislead courts about true operational control

Final Judgment

The Church of Spiritual Technology isn’t just some quiet preservation nonprofit.

It is the corporate fortress behind Scientology’s wealth, doctrine, and immunity.

David Miscavige built it.
He appointed its people.
He rewrote the teachings it’s legally required to protect.
And he’s still benefiting from its shield while pretending he has nothing to do with it.

CST may have been built to protect Scientology.

But now it may be the legal key to exposing the lie at the heart of David Miscavige’s empire.

If you’ve worked with CST, been pressured to donate to these vaults, or helped maintain LRH properties we want your testimony.

You can remain anonymous or sign a public affidavit.

The fortress is cracking. It’s time to walk through the door.
