Cowardly Lion
Cowardly Lion? In order to tap into the Wizard to transform fear
Copyright (c) 2009 Valery Satterwhite
If you are at all familiar with the story of Dorothy The Wizard of Oz and you know that among the fellow travelers along the Dorothy's Yellow Brick Road to find the great and powerful wizard was the Lion. The Lions wanted the wizard to him courage He was afraid of nearly everything he encountered in his life. Here he was the king of beasts but he ducked and hid from all ever seen anything like this threat to its survival. Lion believes that if he had the gift of courage that he would be able to step into his role as the omnipotent ruler and king of the forest, respected by everyone.
"If I were king my royal robes of the forest would be satin, not cotton, not chintz. I'd command each thing, whether fish or fowl. I was on my heels and the trees would kneel and bow mountains bulls and cow work and would sparrow wing. If I was king, each rabbit would show respect for me, the chipmunks kneel before me. If I were king, like King. "- The lion in Frank Baum" Wizard of Oz "
The Lion's self esteem and was wrapped in and identified with a powerful title that would bring respect.
The Lion believes that force submission instructions. Strength, the lion, is the power to threaten and priority through physical strength and determination. Such commitment comes from the courage to stand in the middle of the truth of who you are. The lion is afraid to show his vitality as king of the forest. And even if he feels King or does not act like much of a king, because he lacks inner courage. If he does try to show courage he resorted to threats and physical harm to others. Force is an act spawned from fear, not power. Real power is a presence, a state of mind that can only come from an authentic presence.
"Put 'Em, put' em up! I will fight ya 'both together if you want. I'll fight ya 'with one leg tied behind my back. I will fight ya 'standin' on one foot. I'll fight ya 'with my eyes closed. "- Frank Baum The Lion in" Wizard of Oz "
Such a courageous words that came from the lion, running away with his tail between his legs when someone actually has it on his threat. If we continue with the Lions in eight in the story, we realize that the only thing that the lion startled itself, an event of its own doing. He lives in fear. He finds excuses and reasons (FEAR), blames others for his shortcomings, and believe that the world, the forest and everything in it, is out to get him, do him harm.
"Ow!" – The Lion: "What happened?" – The Scarecrow "Someone pulled my tail! "- The Lion" You did it yourself! "- The Scarecrow" Oh ….." the Lion – "The Wizard of Oz"
The lion believes not that he is brave or powerful enough for a king and therefore must have courage to get someone else – the Wizard of Oz. People living with "I'm not good / smart / Brave / talented / rich / beautiful / whatever enough "will often be shop-a-holics hope the next Prada bag or Ferrari purchase gives them self-esteem they miss. After the brief adrenaline rush after the purchase, these people quickly find another state to buy to try, again, to feel better about themselves. There is not a handbag or luxury car in the world that can give anyone a sense of worth they're missing inside. The purchase of luxury items, because you like them is one thing. Acquiring things because you're looking for your identity through them is a different experience. Shop-a-holics with a low self-esteem does not enjoy or even use many of their purchases.
When the lion finally get an audience with the wonderful Wizard of Oz, he finds that the Wizard is not really a wizard after all. What this simple man tells the lion that he always had courage in him. All he had do is recognize and honor that his birthright. No external thing can give a person what they think they have a defect in them. What you long for is who you are, what desires to come forth from you. That's why you feel "less than" if you express your full potential, who you came into the world, do and have.
You already have, in you, all you need to do and have whatever you want in life. All you have to do is tap into the Wizard Within, the voice of your intuition and truth. This internal source of wisdom and personal guidance is your birthright. If you Muse, it will always guide you safely and easily as your dreams, your desires, real experiences.
"You are part of the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom. "- The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz" Frank Baum

Should the new symbol of the House of Representatives by the cowardly lion?
I am just stunned by the vote-down of the bailout. The people at tuned so fear not re-elected to do. The net result will be that they will be re-elected president of a country that is suffering Great Depression Two. What are your thoughts?
I think it is much more cowardly move would have been to allow people like Pelosi, Paulson and Bush then crawl with statements from certain doom in the mood for the 700 billion U.S. dollars fraud. vote down the bailout actually confirms my belief in American government. Even if they did it for the wrong reasons, these people chose to stand up for their constituents rather of letting himself be guided by fear mongering politicians.
