He must sense that he lives in a world which in some respects is mysterious; that things happen and can be experienced which remain inexplicable; that not everything which happens can be anticipated. The unexpected and the incredible belong in this world. Only then is life whole. For me the world has from the beginning been infinite and ungraspable.

President's Message
As we can see elsewhere in this issue of our Board of newsletter, we have a very exciting year of speakers lined up for our enjoyment. We also have an exciting new home at the Good Shepherd Center. We are now in Room 222 which is next to the front door entrance of the center, the very first door to the left. With this new space we have a much more central location and this will make it much easier for all of us to visit the library while we partake in the Lecture and Workshop events.
I would like to thank John Krausser and Bunny Brown and an entire crew of volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this transition go quickly and smoothly. Many years ago, I read the Carlos Casteneda books about Don Juan, the Yaqui Indian Shaman, and I remember Don Juan telling Casteneda to look for his unique place to sit in a clearing. I also remember that author describing his amazement when he found his just-right place. I believe that we have found our best spot and it is due to John's ongoing and unrelenting effort.
Please put our list of Lectures and Workshops in your Palm Pilot or date book NOW! And on behalf of the entire board, we look forward to seeing each of you in September.
— Paul Collins, President
Membership Dues Increase
As mentioned in the Spring edition President's Message, beginning with renewals due in September, annual dues will increase by $5 for most of our members, with a change of $10 for contributing members and $50 for sustaining members. (See the Membership Infomation and Form for more details.)
Our previous dues adjustment was over six years ago. With increased operating costs, including fees paid to our speakers, the Board feels this increase is a necessary fiscally responsible step.
Like so many nonprofits, our annual income and expense reports for a number of past years show that we are able to sustain our organization financially only through the benefit of some very generous contributions. We are always very grateful for this support, but we want to work as much as possible to become more self-sustaining.
The board continues to consider ways to strengthen the Society financially while maintaining and improving the quality of education it offers to the public.

Library News
As you may have noticed by now, the library has moved. Room 222 is closer to the regular meeting space (Room 202) so you will be able to drop by the library on your way to a lecture or workshop. Although the room did not give us additional space for books and tapes, we felt the new library location would enable our members to come in and check out materials from the library more often.
We will have books by our speakers, Cara Barker, Janet Dallett, Stephen Aizenstat and Linda Sussman available in the library. Books by Janet Dallett and Linda Sussman will be available for purchase at their presentations in October and December respectively.
We would like to thank the family of Jean Butler for donating 85 of her books and a few tapes that she made of lectures she attended at the summer session in Zurich in 1999. Jean Butler was a member and supporter of the Seattle Jung Society for a long time, including serving as Secretary in 1997-98. Our new location does not yet have a book drop. We ask that you return borrowed items to the library when you visit the Good Shepherd Center for one of the scheduled events.
— Bunny Brown, Librarian
