Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz is created from the Cosmic Humanist view. The Wizard ends up not being an all powerful being at all. He is no greater than any other average person in Oz(if you can consider the people of Oz average). The moral is that the power was within them the whole time to get what they wanted/needed: the tin man-a heart, the lion-courage, the scarecrow-a brain, and Dorothy-to go back home. Essentially every person had their own power, and just needed to realize it in order to get what they wanted. (Just like Cosmic Humanists believe everyone is deity, some just haven't realized it yet, limiting them from reaching their potential)
