council chamber. Most of the questions centered around Baba afterward. I heard that the two clergymen who attended got somewhat upset and had a meeting regarding the "Anti-Christ." I found myself somewhat pleased at the prospect of the inevitable opposition to the Savior of the Universe; "competition" can only clarify the issues and make more people aware of Beloved Baba as the hope of the world. When we know that His Love-Victory is 100%, the opposition only makes it a more exciting and thrilling game, increasing the number of spectators with their eyes somewhat open.

"Toward a New Humanity" was the topic for a talk to about 160 at the Mahatma Gandhi Hall in London on the 22nd. The program included a film of the Beloved with sitar accompaniment by one of the young London lovers.

September 23rd was a very interesting day, starting at the BBC-TV studios. The filming session was supposed to be for a segment on the projected drug/mysticism show. Again Baba turned the key and Oliver Hunkin interviewed me in a very relaxed discussion for a full 30 minutes. The focus was the difference between psychedelic experience and the real spiritual path — offering a great deal of time to discuss Baba. Additionally, they took some film of the "We are all One" poster and a colored plaque of the "Young Christ" photo of Baba. The producers liked the interview so much they have tentatively decided to make the interview an entirely separate show. Baba-willing, the interview will soon be shown on the one color channel in Great Britain. Right after the filming, I went into the heart of London to speak to a cast of the Royal Shakespeare Theater Company. They were doing a new play on the American scene and wanted some background. Very soon in the discussion, someone asked about Baba and we were off and talking the rest of the afternoon about His life and ideas. The evening brought an informal talk to Don Stevens' Discourses class on the general theme of love and harmony in Baba groups.

On Tuesday the 24th I left for what was to be a whirlwind tour of Holland. In Amsterdam I met Simon Vinkenoog, a friend of a London Baba-lover who was to be my contact in Holland, Simon is a very key writer and leader of the "hip" scene in Holland, and also was known as "Mr. Marijuana" in Amsterdam. He had been translating some of Baba's literature into Dutch for a new book. Soon after I arrived I visited two large "hippie" places, with young people from all over the continent — many Baba cards were passed out, Simon being especially enthusiastic. On that evening, I talked on mysticism and Baba to 31 key people at a macrobiotic restaurant — response was quite good even though most of the audience used drugs. The "seekers" in Holland seem to use a lot of hashish, although drug use is more casual than in the U.S., where some young people make it a way of life. Baba-willing, the introduction of
