Wizard of OZ

by Linda Cosentino

In the story of the Wizard of Oz every person wanted something that was already inside of them, but did not know it.  Dorothy was in a situation where she wanted to go home back to the realm of God in her thinking.  She had the way to go back home at all times. All she had to do is click her red shoes together and she was back in the arms of God.

We do the same thing by going everywhere to find our answers instead of going within ourselves where God dwells. The red shoes represented the unconditional Love of God and the walk to realize where God is inside of us. The red shoes was a reminder of Who She Is. “The Kingdom of God is within.”  We go on all kinds of different paths to find the yellow brick road that causes us to think differently about people and about situations that get us back to thinking like Spirit Beings instead of thinking like human beings in the realm of soul, which is my mind (Put on the Mind of God), my will (God’s will), my intellect (Wisdom of God), my emotion instead of  unconditional Love.

The Straw Man or Scarecrow wanted a brain.  Straw is something to feed the cattle not a Spirit Being. The Mind of God is something we must put on in order to think like God thinks. The scarecrow represents the negative thoughts that disappear with the thoughts of peace. The Tin man wanted a heart.

He was seeking the Heart of God that is continuing beating to the rhythm of Love and seeing everyone as Spirit Beings beautiful instead of egos who are full of faults. How can you have a heart when all your beliefs are made of tin and cannot change. The Cowardly Lion wanted courage. He had all the courage (fearless or brave quality)  he needed within himself. A Lion knows that he belongs to the King. He is the King’s Son (all of us together). We want to think higher and to encourage others to see God as Pure Love and no Punishment. Now the most important person of All is the Wizard (magician; magic). 

The Straw Man, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Dorothy were going outside of themselves to find what they needed from God Who never leaves us or forsakes us because we are part of Him and He is part of us Himself.

What is magic? “The attempt to solve a problem where it is not in the physical or mindless measures; belief in separation.” 

The word AT-One-Ment changes our thinking to belief in Oneness. One problem is the belief in separation and the answer is to believe in Oneness.

Don’t you want to remember that you have a Mind of God, Heart of God, and the Courage (faith to believe) of God? We also have the walk (take off the shoes of soul thinking you are on Holy Ground) to the yellow brick road of Love, Peace, Joy and Happiness. Isn’t it God that we seek or remember instead of something else?
