The Source of Spiritual Authority

Part one of a two-part program in which philosopher Alan Watts asks, what is the source of spiritual authority and how do we empower our beliefs. Recorded in Chicago on New Year's Day, 1971, this is part one of spiritual authority. In many ways, when you get down to these very deep ethical problems, well, there sure is no easy decision one way or the other. You must look at the problem from the point of view of an artist. It may be better to go off with a bang than with a windwater.
