sheets for inspection as soon as I receive them. I hope that the book<br />

will be printed at the latest by the time I give my seminar in Zurich....<br />

With regard to my seminar I would like to express once<br />

more the wish that it could, if possible, take place between April 15<br />

and April 30, since I can hand over from the office of dean of the<br />

faculty of Philosophy until then. 71<br />

Jung replied that the news that Hauer wanted to dedicate his book to<br />

him was a happy surprise, and that “I am aware of the profound congeniality<br />

between my view and yoga.” 72 Concerning the timing of the seminar,<br />

he added: “I would be willing to schedule your seminar for the<br />

spring, if the necessary audience were present around that time. But if<br />

this is not the case, we will have to arrange it for the autumn.” 73 It seems<br />

that it was not possible for the necessary audience to be present, for Jung<br />

subsequently wrote to Hauer: “By the way, how do you feel about the<br />

proposal to hold the planned seminar in the autumn? It would be very<br />

nice if it could be arranged. Interest in it is very lively here. I would be<br />

very grateful, if you could soon inform me as to which date would be<br />

convenient for you. For us the beginning of October would be most suitable.”<br />

74 Hauer replied: “I will gladly hold the seminars in the autumn.<br />

Beginning in October would be good for me.” 75 A few months later,<br />

Jung wrote to Hauer:<br />

Following our recent discussion in the Club on your seminar in the<br />

autumn, I am approaching you with the polite request to give your<br />

opinion on our proposition: in light of the current economic situation<br />

the organisation of a seminar is not entirely easy. The Psychological<br />

Club is prepared in this case to take charge of the organisation<br />

and above all to put the hall at your disposition free of charge.<br />

Our lecture hall accommodates 60 seats. In the meeting it was generally<br />

felt that it would be desirable that the fees would not exceed<br />

Fr. 20 per person. It was equally emphasized that a course exceeding<br />

a duration of one week (6 lectures) would not be desirable. In<br />

this case, one week of sold-out seminar would bring you a remuner-<br />
