First half of last lecture in the series. It is difficult to attain spirituality, which is not religiosity. Today ritual is substituted for experience in religion and love.

Produced by Roy E. Tuckman. Last lecture in a series of seven. Tapes can be purchased through UCLA Extension. Contains sensitive language. Previously cataloged as KZ0457A.

Clare Spark, producer, introduces this episode: "...the goal I have set for this series, to relate form, ideology and consciousness, in so clear and convincing a fashion, as to move somebody, somewhere, somehow. Since I believe criticism begins at home, in this first program (of 1973), I offer you an expose of my own predilections, this being the year of the intimate memoir. My New York diary, as a table of contents for future Sour Apple Tree's. The sentiments expressed are lifted, out of context, and filtered through fond memory."
