I watched and wrote about this film a year ago in "Rant in Z-Minor".

The exact nature of these syncs might be explored at a later date.
Connecting OZ and the NO symbol is so elegant I could cry. As N can rotate to become a Z, NO and OZ are already synchromystically interchangeable and have indeed been synced many times before. This just highlights the amazing, ever more apparent, symphony of ordering happening beyond the scope of the human mind.
What is of relevance now and maybe Jim will tell us more, is that the most iconic examples of the NO Symbol, the "Ghostbusters" and NO Smoking sign, share an interesting relationship.

In traditional Native North American culture it is customary to offer tobacco to Spirit. I was taught to give tobacco - throwing it into the fire - before entering the Sweat Lodge etc.
Ghost and Spirit are interchangeable meaning the fact that "Ghostbusters" and No Smoking (Tobacco) are two of the most well known NO Signs becomes intuitively syncnificant.
I like to imagine that Tobacco was abused and addictive in order for Spirit's message of OZ, as the ubiquitous NO Symbol, to spread all over the planET. Perhaps we can NOw realize a healthier relationship with this substance as we allow Spirit into our lives.

Tobacco undergoes a transformation when we set it on fire. The process of turning the solid material into smoke feels analogous to the spiritual practice of surrender or floW.
In a way OZ, as the NO Symbol, is a closed G8way or door that implies and invites the potential to be opened.
