Summary

Chapter 7 explores how the hippies spirituality changed with time and points out unique patterns that could only occur among people who had had an eclectic spiritual philosophy early in life. Differentiating between four types of spiritual paths (somewhat less spiritual, forever Farmies, perpetual seekers, and focused spirituality), this chapter also suggests that among aging hippies, the spiritual sphere is like a playground full of possibilities.
