  • Oren Lyons retells the classic story "The Wizard of Oz", from an enlightening (and very different) Native America perspective.
    This video was produced by the Sacred Land Film Project, SacredLand.org, a project of Earth Island Institute. To deepen public understanding of sacred places, indigenous cultures and environmental justice, the Film Project produces a variety of media and educational materials-films, videos, DVDs, articles, photographs, school curricula and other materials. The Sacred Land Film Project uses journalism, organizing and activism to rekindle reverence for land, increase respect for cultural diversity, stimulate dialogue about connections between nature and culture, and protect sacred lands and diverse spiritual practices.
    Its latest project, Standing on Sacred Ground, StandingOnSacre..., is a four-part series that chronicles indigenous people in eight communities around the world standing up for their traditional sacred lands in defense of cultural survival, human rights and the environment. Watch them stand against industrial mega-projects, consumer culture, resource extraction, competing religions, tourists and climate change.

      On the Wizard of OZ. Chronicles 2. Chapter 33. Use of Enchantments. Use of Witchcraft. Sorcery. Dealt with familiar Spirits and Wizards. He Wrought much Evil in The Sight of The Lord to Provoke him.. Worship of the devil and Witchcraft. Meet God's Army. Exodus 12.31-23. Death of Egypts Firstborn for devil worship and Witchcraft. For The Lord will pass Through To Strike the Egyptians.. And When He sees. The Blood on the lintel. And on The two door-post. The Lord will pass over the door. And not Allow The destroyer To come into your houses To Strike you. The Destroyer is Abaddon. Revelation 9.11. Abaddon is the Gatekeeper of the pit of Hell. God has 9,. Gatekeepers. Also called the Angel of Death. The Locust King. He killed the Egyptians

    Wisdom is vastly more important than knowledge. From the Indus Valley there was a saying that the gods of the heathen are gold and silver. I now understand how the most important wisdom to follow is that of what you have said, that we are all part of the web of life and we need to look after our neighbors, and that our neighbor are all things.

    It is a series of very, very strange stories. I think most people have only seen the one movie, that really altered a lot of things. And as you read them you realize that the scarecrow is very smart, the tin man very compassionate, and the lion very brave, they just didn't believe in themselves. Which makes Mr. Lyons' interpretation even more interesting to consider.

    Always thought Wizard of Oz was rather creepy. I've watched Judy Garland docs on YT that said she was coerced into taking speed type pills to work long shifts on the set. OREN LYONS is an intelligent, intuitive true person AND SHOULD BE A NATIONAL TREASURE whose every word i hang onto like it's more precious than gold. Its very interesting and not suprising he saw the symbolism and bs.

    How can anyone say there's no truth to this interpretation? Another person who puts this story in a different light is Gregory Maguire, who wrote the 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' series. I've met him, and he's one of those American writers who is somewhat well-known but not nearly as popular as he should be. The way he takes classic tales and exposes the ideologies in them by flipping them around, and reflecting our current world at the same time, is brilliant.

    ...But, because for the Lakota there was no wilderness, because nature was not dangerous but hospitable, not forbidding but friendly, Lakota philosophy was healthy - free from fear and dogmatism. And here I find the great distinction between the faith of the Indian and the white man. Indian faith sought the harmony of man with his surroundings; the other sought the dominance of surroundings...

    Im, a white man, a very old spirit. I love the Turtle Island Indigenous. The way of these people have always been correct as I see it.
    I can only be sorrowful, disgusted and disappointed in the deeds of my European ancestors.
    This story is misunderstood by most.
    Capitalism is the system of destruction humanity has been a victim of since the days of Egypt. Capitalism/ organized crime
    has to have a place to hide. So it hides in Synagogues and in the Vatican. Countries get blamed for their actions , and races do as well. The Capitalists discovered that there is fortunes to be made in conflict.
    So they sew the seeds of hate where ever possable. Yet being bankers and investors
    no one ever considers the La Cosa Nuastra
    that big of threat. Even though it controls almost every country on Earth.
    Is this going to be the end of Humanity?
    Brought about by bankers investors, and corrupt politicians?
    The ten kings without countries, is a prophecy written by the same Capitalists
    that have enslaved humanity.

    There was a difference between the book and movie: in the movie Dorothy's slippers were red, but in the book they were silver. Mr. Lyons is right. It was about money backed by: gold or silver (from out west) or nothing (fiat). We got nothing!

    as for the flying monkeys... I think is angels or even like in the medical symbol of the kundalini serpant and the "rod" (Christ "thy rod and thy staff [pole] they comfort me." And it shows wings on that medical symbol. Which goes back to Hermes.

    Wizard of Oz is worse than you think. The scarecrow was the guy who would come in with pretty eyes pretending to be friendly only to lash out later... "I wasn't thinking!"... It was also an exploit on the first attack of the indigenous... the father being mocked for crying with his red nose... (Rudolph)... Then they would chop off the beak and tie them to a tree with the skeleton hands being the branches...
