At the top of this brown bag, useful for writing paper when there was nothing else available, across a flap folded down about an inch, appears what looks like some kind of outline, with numbered points: 1 ) a 'statement' about the QUALITY of the contrasted experiences 2 ) SCIENCE is a sterile approach to evaluating thought-experience 3 ) the 'mask' is the reason for the Black & White quality of Dorothy's Kansas 'life' which moves on to 'unmasked' delirium 4 ) MIND is both 'spiritual' & shared 5 ) JUL 16 - A young Judy Garland recorded a version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" during the production of a spectacular feature film based on one of Baum's books; it's about a place... a special place where we all would very much like to go; the word "Somewhere" implies that there is no map to guide us; no one set of instructions for how to get there. - Those opening scenes, where we first meet a
