The organization was originally founded as a study group for Min Yaaj Zoov's series of self help books. The 80's economic recession that battered individuals of all strata made self help books very attractive at the time. Zoov's publication of bestsellers such as 'The Art of the Deal' and 'Self Apotheosis' created great public interest in his groups activities. Attendance to Zoov's group sessions swelled and his modest Zong office soon became an inadequate space for his gatherings. With donations from his students and even celebrities, in 1987 Zoov bought a dilapidated industrial warehouse and began converting it into the nerve center of his self help movement. He expanded the activities to yoga, group meditation sessions and other similar activities meant to encourage inner peace. By this time the government was now wary of the eccentric Zoov and his growing following and several police raids were carried out on movement centers were drugs were seized and some members arrested. Tensions continued to escalate when some of Zoov's followers carried out a knife attack on judge Yan Zug who authorized the raids. Zoov's movement narrowly avoided being banned at this point, successfully arguing the judge's attackers had acted on their own volition and were not commanded by the movement's leadership. | |||

In the summer of 1990, Zoov was shot by judge Yan Zug's son during an attempted assassination. Miraculously the bullet did not hit any vital organs and Zoov made a quick recovery. It was in the aftermath of the shooting that Zoov began working on his 'Path to Apotheosis' doctrines and began to exert harsher control of the members of the movement, while increasingly making the movement revolve around his charismatic leadership.

History
The organization was originally founded as a study group for Min Yaaj Zoov's series of self help books. The 80's economic recession that battered individuals of all strata made self help books very attractive at the time. Zoov's publication of bestsellers such as 'The Art of the Deal' and 'Self Apotheosis' created great public interest in his groups activities. Attendance to Zoov's group sessions swelled and his modest Zong office soon became an inadequate space for his gatherings. With donations from his students and even celebrities, in 1987 Zoov bought a dilapidated industrial warehouse and began converting it into the nerve center of his self help movement. He expanded the activities to yoga, group meditation sessions and other similar activities meant to encourage inner peace. By this time the government was now wary of the eccentric Zoov and his growing following and several police raids were carried out on movement centers were drugs were seized and some members arrested. Tensions continued to escalate when some of Zoov's followers carried out a knife attack on judge Yan Zug who authorized the raids. Zoov's movement narrowly avoided being banned at this point, successfully arguing the judge's attackers had acted on their own volition and were not commanded by the movement's leadership.
In the summer of 1990, Zoov was shot by judge Yan Zug's son during an attempted assassination. Miraculously the bullet did not hit any vital organs and Zoov made a quick recovery. It was in the aftermath of the shooting that Zoov began working on his 'Path to Apotheosis' doctrines and began to exert harsher control of the members of the movement, while increasingly making the movement revolve around his charismatic leadership. Members were forbidden from making direct eye contact, he had to be always addressed as 'Brother Leader' and members had to sign over to him all of their assets.

During the winter of 1995, just as the government was confronting a communist inspired revolt in the western districts; Zoov's Movement decided to strike. Armed Movement members stormed into a meeting in the Zong municipality building and gunned down the mayor and his cabinet. The local chief of police was killed in his home and coordinated attacks against police stations took place. Min Yaaj Zoov marched into a radio station and declared himself 'Brother Leader of the State', called Chancellor Linge Chen a 'fraudster' and 'idol of clay' and vowed to 'restore our values and community life'.

Only approximately 300 members are suspected to have been able to escape from Zong, fleeing to the countryside or hiding out in caves in the wilderness.

Doctrine
As of modern day the previous focus on self improvement through traditional methods has been brushed aside in favor of the Path of Apotheosis written by Min Yaj Zoov. The basic premise of Zoov's doctrine is that an individual can 'march up the steps of the path' to a godlike perception of the world by fulfilling a series of concrete actions in order to reach the ultimate prize. The number of steps is supposedly only known to Min Yaj Zoov himself, who is claimed to be the only human to have reached the path's summit and achieved the ultimate state of being. The first steps that are taken usually involve wedding the individual more closely to the Movement, by giving up all material possessions to the Movement and cutting off all contact with outsiders. Others require taking part in the campaign of violence against Corummese society to 'cleanse the world of disbelievers and make way for the true community'. In the ideal world vision of the Movement, the only humans worthy of life are those that will follow the Path of Apotheosis. In pursuit of this ultimate goal, they are forever seeking to lay their hands on weapons of mass destruction.
