## The Garrido Belief System and the Campus Visit
The visit to UC Berkeley’s campus was not an isolated event but part of a pattern in Phillip Garrido’s behavior in the months and years before his arrest. He had been increasingly seeking public audiences for his religious and philosophical ideas.
Garrido had written a book, *Origin of Schizophrenia Revealed*, which he brought to the August 25 meeting with Campbell and Jacobs. The title, combining a neurological condition with a claim to have revealed its origin, gives some indication of the character of his published ideas. The book was self-published or produced through an informal process; it does not appear in standard bibliographic databases as a conventionally published work.
He had also visited the FBI’s San Francisco field office on August 24—the same day he first visited Campbell’s office at Berkeley—and left a four-page essay. The essay’s specific content is not reproduced in any publicly available account of the case, but the act itself was consistent with Garrido’s established pattern of seeking institutional audiences for his ideas. He had developed a belief system that attributed special significance to his own experiences and capabilities, including a claim that he had constructed a device that could communicate with God or with supernatural forces. This claim was among those he made to Campbell when he described why the campus event involving God’s Desire would be “really big” and would involve the government.
