Post No. 076: The Oneness Of God — The Rapture Is Fearlessness


(Image from YouTube)

The Rapture Is Fearlessness
(Or, "The Rapture Is Your Fear 'Left Behind'")

'The Rapture' is fearlessness, because
the joy in life that you experience when
you make a "good" decision to face your
fear is due to the fact that your fear is "left
behind," once you face it! For, what a lot of
us souls fear is making a "bad" decision—and
having to deal with the negative consequences
of that "bad" decision. For example, you need to
figure out "which is the correct path to God in
life?"
, so that when God finally returns for the
Last Judgment, He sends you to Heaven—rather
than to Hell—and in that way, you have clearly
made a "good" decision. Therefore, you won't be
"left behind" with everyone who made a "bad"
decision. And that is what many souls truly fear:
specifically, it is making a "really bad" decision
with regard to "which is the correct path to God
in life?"
However, what if 'The Rapture'—or the
joy from making a "good" decision—instead
came from you making a "good" decision to
face your fear? What that means is that
your fearlessness is 'The Rapture,' since
it is your fear that is "left behind."

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "The Rapture" is fearlessness, because the joy in life that you experience when you make a "good" decision to face your fear is due to the fact that your fear is "left behind," once you face it!

Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how this poem was written when I was editing it on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer," "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs. So, I wanted to show you how this poem used to be written, before I revised it as above.

And it used to be written like this:

'The Rapture' is fearlessness, because
the joy in life that you experience when
you make a "good" decision to face your
fear is due to the fact that your fear is "left
behind," once you face it! For, what a lot of
us souls fear is making a "bad" decision—and
having to deal with the negative consequences
of that "bad" decision. For example, you need to
figure out "which is the correct path to God in life?"
so that when God returns for the Last Judgment, He
sends you to Heaven—not to Hell—and in that way,
you have clearly made a "good" decision. Therefore,
you won't be "left behind" with everyone who made
a "bad" decision. And that is what many souls fear:
specifically, it is making a "really bad" decision with
regard to "which is the correct path to God in life?"
What if, however, 'The Rapture'—or the joy in
life from making a "good" decision—instead
came from you making a "good" decision to
face your fear? What that means is your
fearlessness is 'The Rapture,' since it
is your fear that is "left behind."

Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above.

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
