"There is a great deal that is not known," said Princess Saari. "At least, not known to the general public; you see, throughout history, there are those who have been knowledgeable on certain subjects: subjects which are generally not taught. Not too long ago these people were burned at the stake by those who feared them. One always fears what one doesn't understand. Even today these people do not say too much, as they know that much of what they might say would not be accepted. However, for one such as yourself who has an open and curious mind, books are available on these subjects and can be found." The Scarecrow interceded, "We discussed this recently, didn't we, Dorothy?" "Yes, we did," said Dorothy. "We all had quite a discussion on the subject of knowledge and truth and books?" "What was the general consensus?" asked the princess. "Well, that we should not accept blindly that which adults teach us, but that we should sift and question and think for ourselves. And if we're not happy with the answer to something, we should find out more about it." "And if we should become confused by conflicting ideas," said the Tin Woodman, "we should meditate on the subject and ask the Great Wizard to give us the truth or to guide us in the right direction." "Do you know who the Great Wizard is?" asked Princess Saari. "I was telling Dorothy something about Him," said the Tin Woodman, "but couldn't quite explain how it is that He loves everyone -- even the Wicked Witch...." "Well, I'll be happy to explain a little more about Him," said Princess Saari. "Couldn't you also cover meditation?" said the Tin Woodman. "I was going to explain this to Dorothy, but I would prefer that you teach us."
