The local determines the problems that the self takes on. In Berkeley at that time were cosmic, macro, personal, social problems that had an amazing structure to them. Some of the problems were dictated and formed out of ideology, some of them were formed out of great idealism after reading Ghandi or Thoreau. The ideologists tried to make cynicism into a hip thing so that people, wanting more in life than what the establishment gave, would turn to the ideological solution. On the other hand there was great "going inward," in the mid-70's. The cults were just the tip of the iceberg. Great restlessness took over the city. Jung and mythology came into vogue.
