Creating Your Reality: 06-21-06
Rosie says: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
Rosie says: There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
Rosie says: And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Rosie says: Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Rosie says: Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me.
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Rosie says: Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
Rosie says: If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can't I?
Rosie says: *
Sandy says: Rosie, can almost picture you sitting there is braids :)
merri says: you can!
Rosie says: *And where is she goin' with THIS one, they wonder* heehee!
Rosie says: couldn't pull off Dorothy, even WITH the braids!....amazon dorothy maybe....
Sandy says: Rosie, sure you could...gingham dress and all!
Rosie says: oh that is just one ugly thought form! lol
Sandy says: lol
Rosie says: This song is of course the signature tune for the movie “Wizard of Oz” written by L. Frank Baum. As we all know, teenage Dorothy was feeling trapped and not in control of the circumstances in her life. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” tells the story of her yearning to be in a place where she could have control…a place where “the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”
Rosie says: I have always loved this movie but until recently had never really looked into the background of the story and its author. Nor was I aware until the last year or two how intensely popular the movie and this song are all over the world, in all cultures and age groups of those who have been exposed to it over three generations or so.
Rosie says: If you have not done so you should do an internet search sometime using the key words “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and you will be amazed at the thousands of references to the song. The title is used for everything from personal web pages and blogs to bicycling organizations and churches.
Sandy says: Rosie, college kids watch it..turned into a drinking game..I forgot if they drink everytime Toto is mentioned or something else
Rosie says: lol
Rosie says: (seems to mean something to everyone)
Rosie says: Musicians, singers and musical groups of all kinds worldwide have been influenced by the song and the movie and have “covered” or recorded it. In our part of the world that includes everyone from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to Willie Nelson to Ray Charles to famed Hawaiian singer Israel “Iz” Kamakawiwo, who paired it with “Wonderful World.”
Rosie says: I first became aware of this when my daughter burned a music CD for Janie. On it she included an instrumental version of “Somewhere” by Jimi Hendrix, and one more recently done by the punk group Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, both of which I love.
Rosie says: I listened to the CD again this week and the song got really stuck in my head, moreso than normal. As I marveled for the hundredth time about the song’s ability to touch people of all races and creeds and backgrounds – so much so that they want to record their own versions for posterity – I realized it could be applied to the subject of this chat.
Rosie says: Little did I know, at first, just how much....
Sandy says: Rosie, pass out the ruby slippers and we are all ears:)
Rosie says: I think Mark will look particularly lovely in them :o)
Rosie says: Then I did the internet search and discovered how pervasively the song is used to typify so many people’s yearning to have control over their lives, to achieve their dreams – apparently having no idea that they are creating their reality, and having no idea that they have within themselves the means to change it.
Sandy says: Rosie, it would be good to be in touch with the feminine side:)
mark says: lol no thanks i'm trying to quite
Rosie says: lol
Sandy says: mark, Rosie could make yours ruby wingtips
Rosie says: LOL....it'll sell!!!
Rosie says: Maybe part of the attraction of “Wizard of Oz” is that Dorothy DOES make it over the rainbow into the magical place of Oz and it gives them hope that someday they can be like Dorothy, find their own Oz and fulfill their dreams, too.
Rosie says: I wonder if they understand the theme of the story, which is that Dorothy eventually discovers that, as Glinda the Good Witch of the North points out to her, she had always had the power within herself to go wherever she wanted to go and be with whoever she wished.
Rosie says: Considering the storyline I became curious about Baum, who wrote the original story. Maybe I’m the last person on earth to discover this, but everything falls into place when you discover that Baum was heavily into the Theosophist movement at the turn of the century. He and his wife and several other family members eventually became members of the Society’s Chicago chapter.
Rosie says: On the Web site of the Theosophical Society of America you will find several pages devoted to Baum and his fairy tale book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” which was eventually followed by 13 more “Oz” books.
Rosie says: In an article printed there authored by John Algeo of the University of Georgia, Algeo contends that the story is Theosophical allegory.
merri says: it is also used along with the Cayce material
Rosie says: Algeo writes that: “The Theosophical Society had been founded in New York City in 1875, with the objects of fostering brotherhood, of increasing knowledge of Eastern, particularly Indic, culture in the West, and of investigating the spiritualist phenomena that had for some time been in vogue in America and Europe.
Rosie says: you can tell me more about that later, merri :o)
Rosie says: Those objects appealed to Baum. Fifteen years after the founding of the Society, Baum was writing sympathetically about it in his newspaper, The Aberdeen [S.D.] Saturday Pioneer.1 In the first issue he edited, he initiated an occasional feature called “The Editor’s Musings,” in which he wrote appreciatively of the Buddha, Mohammed, and Confucius, alongside Christ, and went on to say:
Rosie says: Amongst the various sects so numerous in America today who find their fundamental basis in occultism, the Theosophist stand pre-eminent both in intelligence and point of numbers.... Theosophy is not a religion. Its followers are simply “searchers after Truth.”... The Theosophists, in fact, are the dissatisfied of the world, the dissenters from all creeds. They owe their origin to the wise men of India, and are numerous, not only in the far famed mystic East, but in England, France, Germany and Russia. They admit the existence of a God--not necessarily a personal God. To them God is Nature and Nature God.... But, despite this, if Christianity is Truth, as our education has taught us to believe, there can be no menace to it in Theosophy.
Rosie says: Thereafter, Baum returned several times to a discussion of Theosophical themes. In another “Editor’s Musings” (22 Feb. 1890), Baum discussed fiction with a Theosophical content:
Rosie says: There is a strong tendency in modern novelists toward introducing some vein of mysticism or occultism into their writings. Books of this character are eagerly bought and read by the people, both in Europe and America. It shows the innate longing in our natures to unravel the mysterious: to seek for some explanation, however fictitious, of the unexplainable in nature and in our daily existence.
Rosie says: For, as we advance in education, our desire for knowledge increases, and we are less satisfied to remain in ignorance of that mysterious fountain-head from which emanates all that is sublime and grand and incomprehensible in nature.”
Rosie says: Baum first came up with the “Oz” theme by spinning fairy tales and bedtime stories for his four sons and other children of the neighborhood. He realized the story had potential and began jotting down notes, which became the outline for the first book.
Rosie says: There is no proof that Baum intended the story as Theosophical allegory, but it is very apparent that principles of Theosophy heavily influenced it. He later wrote that he felt the story was divinely inspired.
Sandy says: great chat....nite all
Rosie says: “It was pure inspiration.... It came to me right out of the blue. I think that sometimes the Great Author has a message to get across and He has to use the instrument at hand. I happened to be that medium, and I believe the magic key was given me to open the doors to sympathy and understanding, joy, peace and happiness.”
Rosie says: In the movie version is one of my favorite truisms of all time, when the Wizard says to Scarecrow: "And remember, my sentimental friend ..... that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others."
Rosie says: In the November-December 2000 issue of Quest 88, Andrew Johnson asserts that the story originated in and found fertile ground in humanity’s collective spiritual consciousness. That could help explain its enduring quality.
Rosie says: “Dorothy's journey away from Kansas and back again represents a spiritual quest, an expedition to inner dimensions to face all aspects of the Self (Stewart, 1997). It is a move towards self-actualization, atonement or at-one-ment, whole-ness or holiness. It is a re-membering or becoming again one member with what we once were.
Rosie says: Dorothy is a prototypical hero very much like Jesus, the Buddha, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, or Arthur. Both Dorothy and Jesus (a) had questions regarding their parentage, (b) started out life as very common ordinary persons, (c) had to flee in the early part of their lives, (d) traveled a path with a clear beginning and unavoidable end, (e) battled evil in different forms, (f) found companions along the way to help with the journey, (g) had companions who were scattered in times of turbulence, (h) went through wilderness, forest, or desert, (i) found or possessed an inner power to help transcend their experiences, (j) eventually went home or returned to another dimension leaving sad companions behind, and (k) were not afraid to take a stand on moral issues or principles.”
Rosie says: After analyzing the archetypal symbols in the story, Johnson gives these conclusions, which I would find hard to argue. (I glued the following 2 paragraphs together so I wouldn’t have to post them line by line. Follow the quotation marks.)
Rosie says: or at least that's how I hope it works...
Rosie says: The Point of the Movie: Dorothy asks Glinda, the Good Witch, "Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?" "You don't need to be helped any longer," a smiling Glinda answers. "You've always had the power to go back to Kansas." "I have?" "Then why didn't you tell her before?" Scarecrow demands. "Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself."
Rosie says: The Tin Man leans forward and asks, "What have you learned, Dorothy?" "Well, I . . . I think that is . . . that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em . . . and that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't here, I never really lost it to begin with."
Rosie says: This is what Dorothy learned:
Rosie says: 1. We have the power. We have Ruby Red slippers to transport us to Kansas, to bring about the Edenic state, or to create our heart's desire.
Rosie says: 2. Witches and cyclones, while bad, can be a means for spiritual growth.
Rosie says: 3. We must learn for ourselves. Truth is not given so much as it is realized. Look within. You do not have to go off in search of a mystic or seek truth from a variety of exotic religions. Truth is found in your own back yard.
Rosie says: 4. Reality is very simple. WE CREATE OUR OWN REALITY. We tend to make it more complicated than it need be. The simple universal fact is that, if we believe it to be so, it is.
Rosie says: 5. There's no place like home. The kingdom of heaven is not a place; but a condition.”
mark says: a state of mind ?
Rosie says: more a state of being, I'd say...being At-One with the All That Is, or God
mark says: agreed
Rosie says: When we are One we are heaven
Rosie says: is what he is saying
Rosie says: As we have discussed, there is nothing new under the sun and certainly the concept that we create our own reality is not a new one, but it is one of which we apparently need reminding. In every age of mankind fresh voices surface to help us remember. The themes from Abraham in “Ask And it is Given” are merely some of the latest. In his time, Edgar Cayce had plenty to say on the matter as well.
Rosie says: From the Edgar Cayce Companion, page 84: Mind is indeed the builder, it will see that what is held in the act of mental vision becomes a reality in the material experience. 288-29
Rosie says: Page 85: The visualizing of any desire as may be held by an individual will come to pass, with the individual acting in the manner as the desire is held. 311-6
AvahLahael says: Mind is also the estryer according to Cayce.
Rosie says: Page 87: As thoughts are directed, the transmission of thought waves gradually becomes the reality—just as light and heat waves in the material world are now used by man. Just so in the spiritual planes the elements of thought transmission, or transference, may become real. BE SURE OF THIS FACT, AND ASSURED OF SAME. 900-23
AvahLahael says: Think it depends upon what spirit is doing the promtings.
Rosie says: This past Sunday’s Cayce Thought for the Day, which, oddly, I never received, came to me via Wanda. Thank you Wanda!: For we can, as God, say Yea to this, Nay to that; we can order this or the other in our experience, by the very gifts that have been given or appointed unto our keeping. For we are indeed as laborers, co-laborers in the vineyard of the Lord--or of they that are fearful of His coming. And we choose each day whom we will serve! And by the records in time and space, as we have moved through the realms of His kingdom, we have left our mark upon same. Edgar Cayce Reading 1567-2
AvahLahael says: He expressed Mind As The Christ Consciousness As the Builder.
Rosie says: That statement is expounded upon by Robert Grant in “The Place We Call Home.”
Rosie says: Again, thanks to Wanda: "It isn't by chance then that each soul is in its current life experience. “All the world's a stage,” Shakespeare said, and we are not only the actors, but we are writing the script, directing, producing, and creating our story lines and plot.
Rosie says: The earth is a dimension where, according to Cayce, all of the Universal Forces may be applied in three dimensions.
Rosie says: Life is an unseen essence that flows through us and through the material world; it does not have its source in physical terms. The lessons or challenges each soul faces during its lifetime are opportunities to manifest its spiritual expression in a material world. When the soul departs the material world's stage, it moves into a dimension where it can review the life just lived - every thought, every deed, every event - and the life is measured by how much love the soul imprinted upon the world of three dimensions........."
Rosie says: I’ll end with the Prosperity Prayer.
Rosie says: I am wise in the wisdom Prosperity of the Christ of my being.
Rosie says: Knowing this, I accept the abundance of the kingdom of God fully and gratefully. My thoughts are enriched; they are divine ideas about my total well-being and the well-being of those who are in my care and keeping.
Rosie says: Christ IN ME is an understanding that is far above what I know or what any person could possibly teach me. This wisdom of the soul awakens me to a world of possibilities for the enrichment of my life and the lives of those I hold dear.
Rosie says: From the Christ Wisdom of my soul, I know to expect and accept the many ways and means in which prosperity comes to me. I am thankful for an inexhaustible supply of good.
Rosie says: Awomen
Cris says: Amen
merri says: Amen
mark says: Amen
Bill says: Amen
Rosie says: OK....thoughts, anyone?
Julia says: cool chat Rosie!
mark says: glad i didn't come in as Oz
merri says: great information Rosie
Rosie says: that was a fun one to research
Rosie says: learned a lot
Rosie says: lol mark\
Cris says: Thanks Rosie
mark says: yeah thank you Rosie
Julia says: Kind of makes me wonder what Dorothy did after waking up back on the farm...where she went from there and what she did with her life. If the story had continued.
Rosie says: OK...I wonder if we have not taken this topic as far as need be. Other than a few more exercises in "Ask" to help us keep our vibrations up, I think we've covered the book fairly well.
merri says: Edgar Cayce on the Revelation by John VanAuken uses the Wizard of Oz to show the different levels of consciousness
Bill says: Thank You Rosie i must rest up now been a long day L&L Every one
Rosie says: yeah, me too, jules...wonder if it's in any of the 10 ensuing Oz books?
Rosie says: really, merri?
merri says: yes
Julia says: I have had that book for 15 years and never could make sense of it merri
Rosie says: not that I'm really surprised...there was a lot more material along those lines that I couldn't include here
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
Rosie says: There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
Rosie says: And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Rosie says: Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Rosie says: Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me.
Rosie says: Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Rosie says: Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
Rosie says: If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can't I?
