In search of spiritual renewal, the counter culture movement looked to the East. Important figures included Alan Watts (1915-1973), who interpreted Eastern philosophy for the West and the Indian mystic Meher Baba (1894-1969), who claimed to be the incarnation of god on earth.
The Eastern spiritual principles of karma and reincarnation held a fascination for many hippies. The idea of an enduring and essential ‘self’ stood in stark contrast to the ‘throwaway’ consumerist culture of 1960s America.

As a consequence of those processes, a person’s ‘seed atom’ has a higher spiritual agency, independent of any earthly authority. It is ultimately free of, and immune to, all and any earthly interference.
