In 1966 Mel Lyman founded the Fort Hill Community / commune / cult in Boston, which began to published The Avatar in June 1967; an underground paper that includes a lot of astology, anti- Vietnam war opinion and increasingly Lyman’s ideas for personal enlightenment. The paper continued for 24 issues but Lyman was not allowed to contribute by the Spring of 1968.
