God and the Universe:
what is in control?
music is God and music died so therefor so did God, leaving humans sad and without anyone to control them.
Humanity and Identity:
Humans wnat something belive in (music or God), they are sad, hopeless
Humans are material "with no time left to start again"
They have no power
They are innocent, it is the musics' fault..it died and left them
Conflict and Suffering:
Humans are lonely and have no hope
The Universe is flawed because the music died
The flaws are sad and unlucky
Hope and Redemption:
The answer to the human struggle is to leave and get away from your struggles
They find there hope for tomorrow no where..."we all cried"
Values/Morals:
They find value in life through materialistic things
They fear death and prize music and happiness
Truth and Reality:
No God is true because the music died
No supernatural explanation needed

Wizard of Oz
Postmodernism is a aetheistic, so therefore having no god, so maybe the wizard is the closest thing to god. It describes a state of being, and this has to do with the scarecrow, the lion and the tin man because they are all missing something and are searching for it. It also has to do with changing to certain conditions, and once again the condtions of the three characters.
Cosmic Humanism relates to Eastern mysticism, like the nice which of the East. Another part of Cosmic Humanism is unity with the divine, and the divine being the Wizard, and everyone is on a journey to be with him and be healed by him. There is no ultimate universal authority, so the closest thing to that is the Wizard. Nations should work to unite and form a community that encourages togetherness of all humankind, and maybe Dorthy is how the nations should be because she helps everyone get to the wizard.
