“The Oz Factors” is a book which reveals the 12 common denominators of civilization that prevent mankind for discovering workable solutions to the problems of life. The Oz Factors was written by Lawrence R. Spencer and published in 1999.

OVER THE RAINBOW

“Now, Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things. You always get yourself into a fret over nothing. Now, you just help us out today and find yourself a place where you won’t get into any trouble.”–Aunt Em

 “Some place where there isn’t any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. Not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It’s far, far away–behind the moon–beyond the rain, somewhere over the rainbow…”–Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’

Most children enjoy playing games.  Since Dorothy is trying to be helpful by staying out of the way of grownups, she makes a new game for herself called “finding a place where there isn’t any trouble”. However, every game contains problems. In fact, solving problems is a game. A problem is a barrier to reaching a goal. Every game has players. Each player has a purpose for playing a game. Every game has a goal and barriers to reaching the goal. The goal of the game is not necessarily known to the players.

Games may or may not have rules that are known to the players. Every game has a beginning, middle and end. Too many barriers make an unplayable game. A game without a goal or worthwhile purpose makes a game not worth playing.

Solving a problem or winning a game are similar actions. However, a Dorothy soon discovers, creating a new problem in order to solve an existing problem does not usually lead to the winning of a game or to a workable solution to the original problem.

A workable solution is solving a problem toward the attainment of a goal which serves the greatest good for the greatest number of those playing the game.

Example: Melting the Wicked Witch with water proved to be the greatest good for the greatest number of players in the Wizard of Oz Game.

Simply identifying the parts of a game or problem will often give us an external viewpoint from which to discover a workable solution to a problem.

Here are some of the goals, purposes, problems and solutions that Dorothy and Toto played in The Wizard of Oz:

Goal: no troubles.

Purpose: to live in a trouble-free environment.

Game: finding a place where there isn’t any trouble (namely, no miss gulch or wicked witches).

solution: flying “over the rainbow” to Munchkinland.

Dorothy solves the problem of miss gulch by hitching a ride in a farmhouse on a tornado which carries her out of Kansas into the land of oz. However, this proves not to be a workable solution to the problem when she crash-lands her farmhouse and kills the sister of the wicked witch. This gives Dorothy all kinds of new problems!

Solution to the new problem: get out of oz altogether to escape from the wicked witch by going back to Kansas.

all of this results in a totally new game with a new purpose and a new goal and new problems, namely:

New game: find out which is the way back to Kansas.

New goal: get back to Kansas.

New purpose: find another place where there isn’t any trouble (which is the same old problem all over again!).

Problem: solve the problems of a brainless scarecrow, a heartless tin man and a cowardly lion in addition to getting herself back to Kansas.

Problem: get the broomstick of the wicked witch for the wizard so he’ll tell her how to get back to Kansas.

Problem: avoid being killed by the wicked witch and her flying monkeys.

Problem: make the great and powerful oz keep his promise to her friends.

Problem: the wizard is a very good man, but not a very good wizard and a very inept balloonist who can’t get her back to Kansas after all.

Workable solution: Dorothy discovers that she always had the power to get back to Kansas.

As a result, Dorothy is able to end the game.

Games are a vast and complex subject. There are libraries full of books dedicated to the subject of games and solutions. Our entire existence is occupied in the playing of games, for survival or for pleasure, or just for the sake of having a game to play.

A game is ended when one reaches the goal or solves the problem posed by the game.

There are many types of games but in the physical universe there are two basic types of games:

1/ Survival Games

These are games that promote survival for the greatest number of beings.

2/ Non-survival Games

These are games that inhibit or prevent survival for the greatest number of beings.

Survival and non-survival are relative to what one conceives to be the highest attainable level of survival–infinite survival.

Like Dorothy, a game that many beings play is to find a place where there is no trouble. However, doesn’t it seem that beings sometimes CREATE TROUBLE for themselves in order to have a GAME to play?

Beings often play a non-survival game simply because they think there are no other games to play. Apparently, many beings think that ANY game is better than NO game, even non-survival games.

We can each create our own games to play in our own universe. These games can be above and beyond mere survival. One need only decide upon a goal and take on the purpose of solving the problems or overcoming the barriers to reach that goal.

Historically, Wicked Witches and the great and powerful Ozes of the world are very poor game makers or goal setters, as they often serve the vested interests of the few at the expense or pain of the many.

War, taxation, physical and spiritual enslavement are examples of non-survival games which have resulted from creating a NEW problem in order to solve an existing problem. These do NOT lead to workable solutions to the original problems.

Obviously, atomic bombs are not a workable solution to any problem. This is a game which no one can win.

Games are won with workable solutions.”

The Oz Factors: a book review

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Oz Factors_LULUThe following is a book review of “The Oz Factors” posted on Amazon.com by Robert W. Johnson in November 9, 2009
“The purpose of this book is to give a reader some guidelines in a quest to solve the mysteries of life. In my opinion, it serves that purpose well. Each of the 12 Oz factors represents a “common denominator of Western Logic which prevents observation, understanding, and the attainment of workable solutions to the problems of human origin and existence.” Further, the author states, “The allegorical story of The Wizard of Oz and its timeless characters is an appropriate vehicle through which to learn more about the mysteries of life.” If you read the book, I think you will agree. The learning of philosophical principles is thereby made not only easier, but actually delightful.
Here are a few of the Oz factors, to whet your appetite for the others:
Missing Information: Most real thinkers would agree that a valid concept of any subject that all information pertinent to it be available. But, study of almost any subject reveals not only that there are missing pieces to the puzzle, but that often the pieces are missing because vested interests (another Oz factor) have deliberately withheld them from the public.
Assumptions: Every theory presented by so-called authorities in science, religion, politics, etc contains one or more assumptions. If the assumption is false, the theory crashes. And so we suspect that the reason why assumptions are rarely listed is that their presence would expose the weaknesses in the view being advanced.
Source of Information: Many sources of information like to “play God”, promoting unquestioning belief in their views. Example from Science: “We’re smart and you’re not, so just accept what we say.” Example from Religion: “We’re holy and you’re not, so just accept what we say.” They need to be told, “Curb your dogma!”
False Information: Investigation shows that many sources deliberately put out false information, for reasons related to the benefit of the organization they support. To quote the author: “Lies replace the truth when a vested interest is being served.”
I could go on with praises for this book, but space won’t permit it. Bottom line: If you want to be a clearer thinker and a more successful searcher for truth, you will do well to read this book.”

VESTED INTERESTS

“Take special care of those Ruby Slippers. I want those most of all!”

–The Wicked Witch of the West in ‘The Wizard of Oz’

Definition: Vested Interest 1/ a survival or non-survival plan or agenda which has been “clothed” to make it seem like something other than what it actually is;   2/ any person, group or entity which prevents or controls communication to serve their own purposes.

Example: Governments control communication between the people of their country. You must get a passport to travel to another country. You must pass through a customs’ inspection in order to enter the country. You must pay taxes (money is a form of communication). You must get a license to get married or go into business.

Example: Religions prevent and control communication between people and the gods, saints and spirits. You have to pay the priest money for him to “bless” you or to “absolve” you of “sin” as a supposed representative of the god(s).

Example: A husband usually tries to prevent communication between his wife and other potential lovers.

What would happen if you could safely communicate with everything and everyone?

Political, religious and financial vested interests, typically, DO NOT want people to answer this question. The reason is simple: if you could safely communicate with anyone or anything, they would be out of business!

Such institutions very frequently determine what we are allowed to believe by feeding us their version of “the truth”. Our “belief” in their version of “the truth” is usually backed up by the threat of death, imprisonment, excommunication or bankruptcy.

All human beings have flesh bodies. Flesh bodies require food, shelter, clothing and as many other goods and creature comforts as one can buy, borrow or pillage. This seems to be a common denominator of survival. It is also a source of illogical thinking which has tended to clog the water mains of our minds with all manner of unspeakable refuse: namely, our vested interest in survival.

Survival requires stuff, and stuff costs money and money takes work. This often means that we must each pretend to “like” someone or “believe” in something–that we could actually care less about–for the sake of “earning a living”.

EBOLA – CIA Project Codename MKNAOMI & Hi-Tech Assassinations

THE OZ FACTORS by Lawrence R. SpencerIn 1948, Henry Kissinger, a 23-year-old American intelligence officer, recruited Nazi expatriates to serve in top positions in American military, aerospace, and biological science and medicine. Twenty years later, he left Harvard’s esteemed faculty and resigned a lucrative position as Nelson Rockefeller’s foreign policy attache’ to become President Nixon’s closest advisor and director of the National Security Council. Seeking alternatives to tactical nuclear weapons to bolster America’s “diplomacy” abroad, the paranoid and egomaniacal Kissinger quickly ordered the Army’s Chief of Staff to requisition $10 million from Congress for the development and testing of EBOLA & AIDS-like viruses. Within ten years, the AIDS and Ebola epidemics erupted coincidentally in the regions of Africa ravaged by CIA military covert operations also ordered by Kissinger.

In 1984, Dr. Robert Gallo, of the National Cancer Institute, claimed credit for discovering the AIDS virus. He announced it most likely originated from a monkey virus which spontaneously mutated and naturally jumped species. Dr. Gallo was a biological weapons contractor for the CIA’s top secret “Project: MKNAOMI,” and was paid to produce and test EBOLA, AIDS-like viruses as early as 1970.

The following is an excerpt about AIDS and EBOLA from my book THE OZ FACTORS, published in 1997:

“Over the past two decades, we have come to realize that AIDS can have a latency period, during which no symptoms appear, during which it remains undetectable by tests. This latency period can be from ten to 18 years. It can hide in bone marrow or brain tissue, while still being transmitted to others. The virus can be transmitted by casual, non-sexual contact via saliva, blood and perhaps, even through mosquito bites which transfer infected blood from one person who is already infected to another person according to some sources.

Because the virus adapts itself genetically to the DNA structure of each person, there are as many strains of HIV as there are individual people. Thus, so-called HIV testing, which is done in clinics and hospitals, cannot detect the presence of the virus in most people.

On July 29, 1969, only days after the United States Department of Defense requisitioned ten million dollars from Congress to fund the development of AIDS-like viruses, the House Republican committee, chaired by George Bush of Texas, (before he became head of the CIA, and later, the President) cited the urgent need for population control activities to fend off “a growing Third World crisis”. This “concern” for population control is at the root of the United State’s Third World foreign policy.

Several important intrigues regarding this United States Third World foreign policy are exposed in Dr Leonard Horowitz’s book, ‘Emerging Viruses–AIDS & Ebola’, including:

1/ President Nixon’s special presentation before the Population Conference in which he appealed for urgent action;

2/ Economic, military, and “humanitarian” policies and projects implemented under Nixon and Carter;

3/ Subsequent World Bank, NASA, and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) activities in Africa;

4/ Henry Kissinger’s leading role in establishing and directing African foreign policy and “diplomatic” affairs;

5/ WHO and USAID (United States Agency for International Development) together sponsoring immunization programs in central Africa; and,

6/ American intelligence connections to USAID and African health care initiatives.

Horowitz details the sequence of events which led to the murder of millions of black Africans under the covert direction of the “New World Order”.

The investigations by Dr Horowitz and others have uncovered the mysterious rise of Henry Kissinger to prominence in America’s intelligence community. Kissinger’s relationships with the Rockefellers, Richard Nixon, Alexander Haig, and other Nixon White House officials have now been exposed along with his leading role in the development of nuclear and biological weapons.

Henry Kissinger, the darling of the Rockefellers, was the architect of the philosophy and purpose of the “New World Order”, as articulated by President Bush, and advanced in Kissinger’s 1955 Harvard PhD thesis, ‘The Meaning of History’. Kissinger argued that there will never be peace on earth. Instead, he called for a stable economic order of nations which could be maintained by creating small, ongoing wars with financial advantages for weapons developers.

Kissinger was appointed by Nelson Rockefeller to head the nuclear weapons study group of the non-governmental Council on Foreign Relations in 1955.

Kissinger (an avowed supporter of the Nazi Party as a 16-year-old in Germany) was appointed as National Security Advisor–the most influential position in the Nixon White House. The alternate choice for the post was none other than Roy Ash, the President of Litton Industries. Litton Industries military contracts, during the first Nixon administration, exceeded five billion dollars! Ten million of those dollars went to Litton Bionetics, the Biological Weapons contractor with whom Robert Gallo worked to develop AIDS-like viruses at that time.

After his great power grab, Kissinger’s first act as Director of National Security was to order Alexander Haig and J Edgar Hoover to wiretap Nixon and others, thus producing the infamous “White House tapes”.

Kissinger had absolute control over the Defense Program Review Committee (which considered the funding requests for biological weapons), and absolute control over the 40 Committee, an intelligence advisory committee which authorized covert actions by the CIA in Central Africa in the vicinity where AIDS and Ebola first broke out.

Increasing evidence has been accumulating which demonstrates that the CIA not only co-opted the Executive Branch of the United States Government while being directed by Dr Henry Kissinger during the Nixon era, but apparently carried out efforts to replace J Edgar Hoover.

All this was going on at the same time Kissinger was directing the CIA to continue escalating foreign and domestic espionage operations, which was directed against black Africans and American homosexuals.”

AGREEMENT

REALITY IS AGREEMENT

“DOESN’T ANYBODY BELIEVE ME?

Doesn’t anybody believe me?“–Dorothy

Of course we believe you, Dorothy…“–Uncle Henry in ‘The Wizard of Oz’

Is reality really real?

As Dorothy discovered when she returned back to Kansas, her friends and family did not agree that the Land of Oz was “reality”.

Conversely, gaining agreement from one’s friends does not guarantee that the information agreed upon is true or workable or survival. Agreement is not necessarily reality. Although Man seems to crave agreement with his fellows, the fact that “everyone agrees that the world is flat” or that “the sun revolves around the Earth”, does not make it a reality.

History has shown that agreements among people have very frequently proven to be disastrous.

Example: Adolph Hitler gained the complete, unabated agreement of the majority of the German population before he led them into total self-destruction.

Lots of people agree when fast food franchise advertisements tell them that cheeseburgers, fries and milk shakes are good for them. We were, and still are, told, based on “medical research” that these foods contain nutrients from all the “four basic food groups”. This doesn’t change the fact that you get fat, develop hardened arteries and die an early death from heart disease or cancer if you keep eating cheeseburgers, fries and shakes.

1ozdef_butThe unprecedented multi-billion dollar profit margins earned by the beef and dairy industry and sugar growers in cooperation with the fast food restaurant cartels have a heavy influence on “truth in advertising”. In addition, the quality of information we receive, as consumers, from the American Medical Association regarding “the science of nutrition” is directly influenced by fast food commercial interests.

Only one generation ago the Japanese people were nearly free of heart disease and cancer. In just 20 short years, since they have openly adopted the Standard American Diet (SAD)–cheeseburgers/French fries/milk shakes and liquid caffeine-filled sugar water called cola–the incidence of heart disease and cancer among the Japanese people has skyrocketed. The Japanese agreement with Western lifestyles is killing them.

Reality is often heavily influenced by the Oz Factor of agreement. Agreements influence our perception of reality. A child’s perception of his environment, his religious and political ideas and viewpoints about people are often heavily influenced by agreement with his mother and father.

Be cautious with whom you agree. Carefully examine ideas and information before you agree. Just because the preacher says, “sex is evil” or the President says, “I’m not a crook”, does not make it reality.

Be careful about agreeing with Wicked Witches and Wizards who promote unworkable solutions. By your own observation decide what is real in the Physical Universe and in Your Own Universe.  Your reality is based on your agreements.”
