The narrator of the movie and writer of the book "The Day the Universe Changed", James Burke, states:

If the universe is what you say it is, then by all means say it!"

WE author our lives in relationship to everything else. We are not ruled by the Koch Brothers. Indeed, we are not ruled by any Man on Stage. That Man on Stage is reflected in the character of the Almighty Wizard. Ah, yes, he is indeed revealed as a farce that was full of hot air.

Such is our lot in western civilization: Dorothy's Wizard exists as the priests, preachers, gurus, politicians or rulers/authorities). And not anything else.

Thus, the ending of this article is to tell you "you really are free!"

So, reclaim what and who you truly are. You are Dorothy of Wizard of Oz fame.

"My dear you've had the power all along to get back to Kansas."

Do not think these words of Glinda (shining light of Truth) are meant for a fictional character named Dorothy. Indeed, Dorothy means Gift of God (or Nature if you will). Dorothy is your Soul, be you physically in the form of woman or man.

So, follow the yellow brick road (the gold standard), meet up with your courage (lion), heart (tin man) and brains (scarecrow) and send the Wizard (the Koch Brothers is my favorite metaphor for the Wizard) sailing off in his appropriate "hot air balloon."

"OK!" Dorothy, "Cut the rope."
