The Wonderful Wisdom of Oz is a total experience (body, mind, and heart) of the life-transforming spiritual teachings contained in the story of Dorothy’s journey along the yellow brick road that you won’t find in any other book. Theosophist, metaphysical author, surya yoga teacher, and meditation instructor, Wayne Purdin, is an authority on L. Frank Baum and his works and on the spiritual teachings woven throughout. He incorporates humor, movement, sungazing, meditation, and reflective journaling into a fascinating experience that will entertain and enlighten you.
You will gain an understanding of the spiritual symbolism contained in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and an appreciation for its timeless universal truths that transcend culture. Some major themes that are explored include: the purification of Dorothy’s ego or shadow self, represented by the wicked witches; the protection and guidance of her Higher Self, represented by the two good witches; and the development and balancing of her threefold flame of love, wisdom, and power, represented by the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion.
Also in this book, you will discover answers to key questions, such as:

• What’s the connection between Baum’s books, the early Women’s Rights Movement, and Theosophy?
• How is Dorothy’s adventure like a near-death experience?
• What do poppy fields and flying monkeys have in common?
• What does the Wicked Witch of the West represent, and what’s so special about the water that dissolves her?
• Who or what is the Wizard in our lives today?
