"And you're speaking to me?" you may ask. Yes, whoever you are, you are Dorothy, the Gift of God. Believer or not doesn't matter. They are all participants of the Play.
The Witch of the South represents Dorothy's instinctual intelligence that takes her back home to Kansas (Heaven as non-dual reality).
Thus, she gets Dorothy to chant: "I want to go home" several times while also having her tap her shoes together. Dorothy then awakens in Kansas where she was all along. She was just knocked unconscious by the tornado of Desire (somewhere over the rainbow) and was always being watched over by Auntie Em (Fate) and Uncle Henry (King).
These are the Yin and Yang of the Godhead.
Could it be that our task and Dorothy's task are one? Like Dorothy, can we also let go of the Rule of the Wizard (corporations and government) who utilizes the Fear of Death to hold his subjects at bay? Can our instincts (Toto) also wake us up to the illusion that we are under?
Yes, we can indeed cultivate Heaven on Earth if we, like Dorothy, simply let go to the Wizard's rule. Like Dorothy, we have had the power all along. We just need to realize it.
The power is in us. This is bottom-up rule. Who built the body you are living in? You did. Your body built itself in the same fashion that the Earth built Herself.
As Dorothy realized: We are the answer we've been searching for.
As much as a God-Man is said to be the incarnate Sophia of God, then so are we all. Glinda is Sophia. Realizing Christ, Buddha, Krishna, are all Dor-Thea. Their realization is simply our realizing of ourselves in the depths of our being (please don't think of this as your ego. The ego is like a wave upon an infinite ocean and IS NOT the Ocean itself)
For your meditation, Marie means Ocean (e.g., marine). The Virgin Birth in which Sophia (the Holy Spirit) moved over Marie in the New Testament and the Ruach that moved over the Waters of Tehom in Genesis are ONE story. Marie is simply what physicist David Bohm calls the Unmanifest Implicate Order (infinite potential), which gives birth to the Manifest Explicit Order (me writing/you reading).
It's just that we look at our lil tiny rational minds and say, "this is me, this is my personality, and this is who I am."
B.S. is my reply. Get your backside off the diving board and jump into the infinite depths of Marie! If you can, don't get caught up in the currents (rivers of time). Go Deeper! It is in the infinite Depths that infinite peace is found. This is the Eternal Now and the End of Time wrapped up in one gift!
As far as external teachers and gurus go, I recommend you evaluate:
Are they here to engage me in my evolution or are they here for their own profit be it in the form of money or an expression of self-pride.
Attend to your intuition in guiding you on this quest. This is Glinda, the Good Witch of the South (representing deep within, gutsy intelligence). She is a participant in the organization of what I call Sophia, or Wisdom. Overall, She will be the one to give thumbs up or down to whoever is speaking to you. It is that instinctual Wisdom that you need to home in on. I'm not saying its perfect since we are not perfect in understanding the language of our depths. Yet, it's more often than not on target if we know how to listen.
