Terry came by Spahn Ranch sometimes, mostly to fool around with some of the women. Charles was all too happy to oblige him, as long as Terry gave his music another chance. And in March of 1969, Terry finally agreed to come over and listen to some of his songs. Charles was certain this would be his big break. But the day of Terry's visit to Spahn Ranch arrived, and he never showed up.

Charles was furious. This was supposed to be his moment, and Terry had blown him off. On March 23rd, he headed to Terry's house to give him a piece of his mind. The house was atop Cielo Drive, a winding road in LA's Benedict Canyon. But when Charles got there, Terry wasn't home, because he'd moved out months earlier.

Eventually, Charles did get a hold of Terry, and the producer promised to come back out to Spahn Ranch on May 18th. This time, he showed up, but it was clear he wasn't interested in signing Charles to a deal, and nobody else was either. There would be no music career for Charles. His dream was officially dead.

So when dealing with self-centered people or narcissists, are they ever capable of learning from a reality check like this? Or do they tend to double down and only get worse?

Well, it seems like Charles dealt with the disappointment by refocusing on his Helter Skelter prophecy. As the summer of 1969 began, the 34-year-old pushed his family even harder to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse. Their creepy crawling expeditions turned to outright thievery, and his LSD-fueled sermons focused primarily on death.

Before long, Charles started asking his followers if they'd die for him. They assured him they would. But as the days crept by with no sign of a society-ending race war, the family started to get antsy. Charles knew he had to do something. If the apocalypse didn't happen, then his followers might lose their faith in him.

That's when Charles realized, if the apocalypse wasn't going to happen on its own, maybe he needed to start it himself.
