Re: The Wizard of Oz's "Yellow Brick Road Myth" is 1,000s of Years Old! Video & Up-date!
Here is an example of one of Eckhart Tolle's presentations.
His humor and wisdom really comes through this one video
and I think you would enjoy it! He is the author of the
book "The Power of Now."

It's funny that he talks about the "condition" of the
Ego--just as Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz"--is this
deep seated sense of "NOT enough." She thinks she needs
the wizard to tell her who she is in the film...but she
finds out that she has it within herself to make herself
"whole" and "at home" within herself--which is the last
few words of the movie when she says: "There's no place
like home...There's no place like home." (Where is home?)

No, uh uh bud.
"The Wizard of Ounce (oz.)" was not about woo woo.
It was allegory to illustrate the evils of fiat currency and the fed reserve.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68757114

It was both.

All one needs to do is put them both together to see the bigger picture...

1) Worship of Mammon/Worldly Pleasures/Materialism/Money

Matthew 6:24
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon"


CashCow

unclemikey-551

...and...

2) Ascending to Heaven in a Whirlwind...

2 Kings 2:1
"And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal"


Where do you think the Author got the idea from?


 Quoting: Base12


Thanks for the pics and video Base 12. I'll
bookmark the video for later, as I can't be away
from the thread for over an hour to watch it all
--I need to be here to keep the jackals from derailing
the thread! lol!

As far as your question: "Where do you think the
Author got the idea from?"

We are talking about two very different versions
of "The Wizard of OZ" here on the thread.
The version that was the original book version was
based on occult symbolism from the Theosophical
Society and was loaded with references to their
own philosophies. It was published in the 1890's
and there were not the same situation economically or
politically in the 1890's as you find in 1939...
or even of drawing parallel's in today's economics
some 70 years later. I don't think that Baum would have
been able to see that far ahead!

Version #2:
The Author's of the FILM VERSION of "The Wizard of Oz"
(1939)changed key points in Baum's original book to reflect
the concerns people had in the 1940's with the approach
of WWII, the decades of a difficult economy from the
1929 crash--you even have the original "Wizard" at the
start of the movie depicted as a homeless fortune teller
that the real life Dorothy encounters before the twister
hits and takes her to "Kansas." This period of the late
30's and early 40's would be some of the most dark periods
in the history of the 20th century (which is probably
closer to what the "twister" was symbolizing for the MOVIE,)
with over 600 million souls losing their lives in that
100 years. These are all influences which don't match
the 1890's time period at all. WWI was coming up in 1916,
remember.

If we are to get everything sorted out with the topic of
my thread, and go in the direction that I had planned
to go--we would be dealing with the 1890's version
and the spiritual, philosophical references, the reference
of the artifact that has the 12,000 year old "yellow brick
road" shown on page 1 and what each person's own "path"
as a reference to the Oz movie might be for them. But
of course, anything you want to talk about is fine...
(beside the economics, which I have admitted I have no
background for!)

I'm sorry, but the issue around the "politics" of
economics, etc. is NOT a strong suit for me personally,
so I'd suggest if this is what you guys want to discuss
you might want to start your own thread, as I really
won't have anything to contribute! lol! I'm not
saying that to shut you guys down...but I would like
to be able to take part in my own thread, if you know
what I mean!
The Yellow brick road as a "spiritual journey" with
its many twists and turns being rich with wonderful
symbolism that we could talk about and is more conducive
to what Baum would have had in mind (as a Theosophical
member) and not a "path to bankruptcy" having to do with
today's or the 1930's economics!"
Thanks for bringing that topic to the table, however
...it's just not something I can speak to--and I don't think most posters on GLP can either!

cheers

There is a video that goes into some detail showing that The Wizard Of Oz (oz. = ounce) is an allegory regarding gold and silver. In the original book, Dorothy's shoes are silver colored, not ruby colored.

The yellow brick road represents gold.

The Cowardly Lion represents Will Jennings Brian who was originally a gold standard kind of guy, but then, like a typical politician, flipped his allegiance.

I don't know where you got that idea...
The Wizard of Oz was published in book form in
1890. The Federal Reserve System was not
enacted into law until 1913.

The first movie version came out in 1939 with Judy
Garland. I'm not seeing anything in that movie that
has politics associated with it. If anything, it is
more about religion and phoney pastors who pretend
to "know God" and hide behind a curtain of lies.

which he felt was sacred from Theosophy. There is an article link on the intro page that spells it all out!

 Quoting: Dogfood 8490939



There was a movie made a few years ago called "Under The Rainbow". It tells the "backstory" of "The Wizard Of Oz", or at least the part where they were trying to find as many "Little People" as they could to be the Munchkins. Some of the "little people" were already full-grown (!) adults, they drank and womanized and enthusiastically tried to take full advantage of the Hollywood lifestyle. The movie is told from the perspective of the "wrangler" whose responsibility it was to find these people, hire them, and get them to the movie set alive and in one piece. There are some hilarious scenes, well worth a watch if you can find it.

"..the characters and the symbols of the Wizard of Oz can be given a second layer of interpretation, which may vary depending on the reader’s perception.
 Quoting: TheOracle'sCookie

Nice.

I noticed that the Wizard scene was a replica of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness.

The Most Holy Place is where the Ark of the Covenant was. It is above the Ark, between the two Cherubim, where the High Priest would receive commands...

unclemikey-554

I'd say that's a pretty good match. It's funny how the producers made the Glory a mean looking Alien dude... LOL!

The "Man behind the curtain" is part of the Tabernacle as well. One should NEVER look behind the curtain unless permitted or it's death.

When Jesus died, the curtain was torn in two...

Mark 15:38
"And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom"


The characters can be compared to the Four Living Creatures...

Lion = Cowardly Lion
Ox = Tin Man
Eagle = Scarecrow
Angel = Dorothy

They are often seen in Occult artwork such as this Tarot card...

the original book? Very interesting, as those 4 characters
are also in the Bible.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28951756


Interesting "take" A.C.1756!

We are seeing TWO different "takes" for this thread
being discussed, so...I just added this to the
thread so that we know whether we are discussing
"OZ and MONEY/economics"...or "OZ and "The Golden
Path of the Yellow Brick Road" (which is Frank Baum's
original meaning for his 1890 book.)

But it is great that there are so many different interpretations of Frank L. Baums' original book
...after 125 years, one would expect that
of a classic! Here is my edit I've added today
3-30-2015 so we can get back on track found on page #1:

Edited: 3-30-2015 (Thank you to A.C. for this video!)
This excellent version of "Over the Raindbow" shows
nicely the ideas which author Frank L. Baum wished to
convey to his audiences. Other version and interpretations
are floating around out there--but THIS VERSION is the
one I'd like to focus on for this thread! If we get
bogged down trying to discuss several interps it's
going to derail the thread.

I like that video. Love will always be the answer.

Personal enlightenment aside, the many roadblocks that the world presents, in particular the PTB blocks, like good vs evil and the never-ending man against man division, be it spiritual, racial or otherwise has worked to keep man from his birthrights of true freedom and access to all that the Earth provides (clean air, water, food etc)

People are becoming more aware of this, especially the newest generation who some may see as lazy or distracted but regardless of what others think they have come into this world with new eyes that haven't had to deal with the bs of the recent past.

Good Thread!

I've been posting about this for a long time now.

The Bible references the Almighty speaking to Job from out of a Whirl Wind. Also Elisha was taken away in a Whirl Wind and so forth. The Land of the Whirl Wind has been here with us before there was an us.

It's located in todays Bible Belt of the USA and literally,
there is no place like home on earth!!

Take a look at the world tornado map and you'll see.

Whirlwind
