We are all Dorothy, i.e., the Psyche or Soul. In us are our intelligence (Scarecrow), heartfelt emotion (Tin Man) and courage (Lion). Instead of God, use Nature in its place. Or, the World. Or even your Self. Whatever floats your boat! The idea is to awaken to who you truly are.
What does this mean to us today? Easy--the story spoke out in metaphor about the dollar being taken out of the gold standard, represented in the Wizard of Oz as the Yellow Brick Road. In other words, he was warning us through metaphor, in a child's story, about bankers, corporations, and their underling government. And what about the Munchkins? Oh, they so worshiped and feared the Wizard, didn't they?
Yes, we put our faith on our leaders, i.e., The Wizard. We are the Munchkins. Ah, how we idealize our so-called leaders! Yet, in this day and age, people are getting wise to how they are being manipulated by (a) their fellow Munchkins (the population) and (b) the Wizard.
Who is the Wizard?
He is our government, and their boss (corporations).
Who is the Wizard scared of?
It's the Witch of the West, death and scarcity. Yes, she keeps us in Scare City. All of us fit this, don't we? But what if we, like Dorothy, confronted our fears? Mm, Mr. Scarecrow!
That means we need to be the change we wish. Change entails a death. We need to die to what we have become.
We can't continue giving our power over to the Wizard.
Who is the Wizard? He exists in the personas of the Rothchilds, Kochs, and others who make billions on the backs of all of us. These are the big players of a real life game called Monopoly. Yes, the person who designed that game also knew what was going on alongside Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz.
While there is a difference in the temperament of the two major presidential candidates, that difference will play out only in how our poison will be delivered.
Political personalities serve global corporate interests. They do not serve us!
So when do we get past this fiction in our lives that we live in a free society? Can we see how we reflect Dorothy in Oz?
Where are we today? How does our current day speak to Dorothy in Oz? Yes, we dally around the "Yellow Brick Road," (seeking riches). Yet we don't set our sails on Kansas (peace and unity).
And what is money? It too is a hallucination.
We are thus living a fiction, a hallucination. The Wizard of Oz is a reflection of our day-to-day life. Indeed, the story is about us. We are all Dorothy living in Oz.
