Here is the last 10 minutes of the Wizard of Oz. Remember it was made in 1939, as America was climbing out of the Depression. The audience of the day had lived through what we are about to face ourselves.
It's only a film but it gets to the heart of the matter. The clip opens with the Wizard handing out symbols of what the protagonists have already achieved for themselves. The Lion is brave. The Tin Man has a heart. The Scarecrow has a brain.
He convinces Dorothy that he can take back to Kansas in his balloon. But of course it all goes wrong and Dorothy is bereft. Glinda appears and tells her that she always could have gone home herself. The Scarecrow is upset. Why could she have told Dorothy this at the outset?
She would never have believed me is her reply.
So this is the lesson that we are all going to learn in the next few years. We believed in "The Man" and not ourselves. We believed in tawdry symbols of our courage, our heart and our brain. We needed things to show that we were successful. We were especially attracted to Snake Oil Salesmen like the Wizard. Who told us what we wanted to hear and helped us to believe that they and not us held our destiny in their hands.
This experience will help us know our true selves. We then will be able to find home all by ourselves.
Our truth is that we only have to "Go Home" to find all we need.
