Read Paul Elisha’s commentary regarding Jimmy Carter’s observation that racism is at the root of the current political debacle. Did Carter go deep enough? Paul doesn’t think so. Read his comments, broadcast on WAMC on September 22, 2009.

For those who have an interest in Carl Jung and The Red Book a recent Sunday New York Times Magazine article explores the somewhat lengthy and excruciating process the book took on its long journey to publication. The Red Book, Jung’s documentation of his own inner journey, can be ordered at Amazon through our Riverwalker Store, under the Journeys category. Read the New York Times Magazine article HERE.

Today our VCR didn’t work when we wanted to watch Matter of Heart a film portrait of Jung that we are very fond of, so we found a Youtube version to watch instead. If you are at all interested in the man here below is the link to the video, which also includes a brief nod to some visions Jung had shortly before he died regarding the survival of mankind, suggesting only another 50 years, which would bring us to 2011. I intend to pose a question about this to Jeanne tomorrow. Here is the link to the movie; it’s an hour and forty-five minutes long and well worth it:

Dear Readers,

We are taking a day off today, Labor Day in the US. The next message will be posted by noon EDT on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Last week’s messages and Chuck’s blog were pretty full of interesting info and ideas, so we know there is a lot to read and ponder.

Until we meet again,
Jan and Chuck

It has come to our attention that the way the comments section works may not be quite clear. Anyone may leave comments and they will appear on the website so that an interactive dialogue may ensue. The comments are not meant to be addressed to us alone, but to whomever reads the website, although they go through our filter. To add a comment simply click on the comments link at the bottom of each post and this will take you to the comments panel on that post’s page. Write in your comment, using either a screen name or your real name if you prefer, and send it off to us. Once moderated they will be posted. I make no promises as to speedy moderation process, but I expect that most comments will appear on the website the same day they are sent to us.

I hope this answers any questions as to how the process works. In order to read comments you have to also click on the comments link on the bottom of each post to open the post and there you will be able to read what has been posted.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of these types of misunderstandings. We do hope that you will feel safe and free enough to interact with us and with each other. We have long felt that the messages should be discussed, but have not found a way that was feasible for us. Perhaps this will be it.

Jan and Chuck
