Dorothy's Mystical Adventures in Oz
Evans, Robert J.
Fantasy literature; Oz (Imaginary place) -- Juvenile fiction
I met God in the morning,
When my day was at its best.
And His presence came like sunrise
Like a glory in my breast.
All day long His presence lingered
All day long He stayed with me.
And we sailed in perfect calmness
O'er a very troubled sea.
So I think I know the secret
Learned from many a troubled way:
You must seek Him in the morning
If you want Him through the day.
"This was written by a man named Ralph Cushman."
"That is just beautiful," said Dorothy.
"Yes," replied the Scarecrow, "and so true. Well, would you like to begin?"
"Oh, yes," said Dorothy. "I can't wait to meet your mysterious friend."
The Scarecrow smiled knowingly as he placed three chairs in the middle
of the room. "Please be seated, Dorothy," he motioned, as he sat down
himself, "You should sit upright with your back straight; feet flat on
the floor with your knees together. Rest your hands on your knees with
your palms up. Now, close your eyes and relax completely.
"With your eyes closed look straight ahead but concentrate your mind in
the center of your forehead.
"Just relax. Don't worry about trying to control your thoughts. They
will gradually subside.
"You may become aware of a light. perhaps several colors.
The Scarecrow fell silent for a while.
"Are you aware of the light?" he asked.
"Yes," said Dorothy. "Now it's changing. Oh, how beautiful. I see all
the colors of the rainbow. Mmm, I feel so relaxed and peaceful."
"Now," said the Scarecrow, "open your mind to the greater power; feel
within you the urge to know the Highest! Seek to understand all humanity
without condemnation.
"One by one, the teachers from the highest realms are arriving to assist
us in our quest for higher knowledge and understanding.
"The one we discussed has joined us. You may open your eyes now,
Dorothy. He is fully manifested and sits with us."
As Dorothy opened her eyes, she could feel a tremendously strong
vibration emanating from what had been the empty chair. Sitting in the
chair was a man. There appeared to be a glow around him which gradually
subsided, although little flecks of light appeared from time to time
around him. He was dressed in a long robe of the purest white. His
beautiful golden hair, which was shoulder-length, had a very slight
reddish tint to it. Around his neck he wore a medallion with three
pyramids on it, and an inscription in strange hieroglyphics.
The stranger smiled at Dorothy; his beautiful, yet intense, blue eyes
twinkling.
Touching the medallion, he said in a most gentle voice, "I see you are
curious regarding this inscription."
Dorothy nodded slightly.
"Translated into English, it reads: MENTAL-PHYSICAL-SPIRITUAL.
