Dr. Jean Houston's new book, The Wizard of Us: Transformational Lessons From Oz, is a masterful work on every level. It not only serves as a testament to the very deep spiritual work in which the author has been steeped for the past several decades of her life, but speaks to the profound nature within each of us that is yearning to break free of the confines of the physical world. Within each of us resides the limitless potential that comprises the cosmic consciousness of the Universe itself, and through the lens of the familiar tale of the The Wizard of Oz, Dr. Houston (a leader and one of the founders of the Human Potential Movement) brilliantly illustrates the possibilities of the very real relationship that can exist between the domain of the ego and the Archetypal Realms characterized by the cast of characters in that work.
For this reason, each of the individuals we encounter--and accompany--along the Yellow Brick Road, becomes a mirror, or a reflection of sorts of our own wounded selves, longing to find wholeness on this journey we call life.... As we sing and dance with Dorothy and her friends--and sometimes face unforeseen obstacles, we are reminded to release our self-contained, ego-directed, smaller selves so that we might progress on our own heroic journeys living our lives "writ large," as it were, so that, we, too, can define ourselves by these higher qualities, or archetypal selves, especially when our own well-being, or that of others is at stake.... In this way, we are encouraged by Dr. Houston to become co-creators of a brave new world--as stewards of our planet--all the while exhibiting that which is right and good about our humanity..., and, like the alchemist of old, transforming base metals into gold, through the interconnectedness of body, mind and soul....
