Today ,some similarities of my life to the "Wizard of Oz" story struck me.I am sure that I am not accurately "critiquing" the book. This is just my own interpretation,for me.
It hit me that the "wicked Witch( Guess who?) put a spell on me . I could only see myself as worthless. I had to walk through this life despising myself and "rolling over" to others. I gave my "power " to her so she would not destroy me. Then, when she was no longer there, her original curse still stood. I was walking through life hating myself and punishing myself. It was like a record that was "magically" stuck in the "wrong" groove.
I came out of the 'spell" ( the rain falling on Dorothy and the other characters). I saw that it was a spell and it could be 'broken .
Dorothy could go "home" at any time( her true self) BUT she did not KNOW this. Her shoes could have taken her home the whole time. She did not NEED to go through all the trials and tribulations that the witch 'put "on her..
I could have 'clicked " the ruby slippers together at any time( go home to my core). I ,just did not know .
I hope that this post is helpful to someone. I just wanted to express it. If it is not helpful,I guess that it will go the way of my other thread--- hitting the second page with zero responses--lol Love Ami
