Post No. 080: The Oneness Of God — My Haiku-Style Poem About The Way That You Feel...

(Image from QuotesGram)

The Way That You
Feel About Yourself...

The way that you feel
about yourself is the way
that you treat others.

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Writing About Who Is To Blame For The Way That You Feel About Yourself: The proverbial "they" are not to blame for the way that you feel about yourself; you are to blame for the way that you feel about yourself! Therefore, do not blame the proverbial "them" for how you feel: instead, figure out what is wrong with you (that is, what are your fears, your insecurities, your mistakes, your flaws, your wrongs, your misgivings, etc.), as a part of the larger process of changing yourself in order for you to do better in the future—and to stop blaming everyone else for how you feel about yourself. –Paul Whiting (written May 20th, 2016, revised September 18th, 2021, revised April 24th, 2022, revised April 25th, 2022 and revised September 1st, 2022)

My Writing About The Way That You Treat Others: The way that you feel about yourself is the way that you treat others. –Paul Whiting (written September 9th, 2016 and revised August 1st, 2022)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Writing About Treating God The Way That You Wish To Be Treated By God: Your intentions for God are God's intentions for you! In other words, the way that you interact with God is the way that God interacts with you. And I think that is what Jesus The Christ was saying when He said the following: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you"; and "When you have done it to the least of these...you have done it unto me"; plus "Judge not, lest ye be judge"; as well as "For have I not said ye are gods?" You see, Jesus was explaining to us that we establish 'Godly Karma,' so to speak, through our intentions for God, and by our interactions with God. Phrased another way: "Treat God The Way That You Wish To Be Treated By God." –Paul Whiting (written May 15th, 2022, revised May 16th, 2022, revised June 23rd, 2022 and July 24th, 2022)

"Poetry is using the fewest words possible in order to describe all that is possible to describe." –Paul Whiting [June 1st, 2022]

My poems that are Haiku in their style—within which one stanza is composed of three lines, where each line has words containing five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables, respectively—are a lot more like Senryū poems in that the topic of these poems is typically about people, rather than the topic of these poems being about nature, as is usually the case in classic Haiku poems. And that is why I call these types of poems "Haiku-style." –Paul Whiting [September 19th, 2023]

Post No. 058: The Oneness Of God — My Haiku-Style Poem About Seeds Of Possibility

(Image from Journey 360 Degrees)

Seeds Of Possibility
(Or, "All Ideas are 'Seeds Of Possibility'")

All ideas are seeds
and they only grow if you
help them to do so!

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"

My Writing About The Harvest Of Wisdom: Fear is the hunger. Anger is the lightning. Expression is the thunder. Honesty is the rainfall. Understanding is the soil. Desire is the seed. Love is the nutrients. Joy is the sunlight. Wisdom is the harvest. –Paul Whiting (written on May 1st, 2009 and turned into 'my writing' on April 13th, 2024)

My Writing About The Seeds Of Truth, Version No. 1: Every soul that exists is born as "A Seed Of Truth," so to speak, since we are all born as Literally Nothing. And as "The Seeds Of Truth," so to speak, all of the souls that exist are created from Nothing. For, everything that has ever been created began—literally—as Nothing! –Paul Whiting (written May 12th, 2013, revised August 31st, 2013, revised March 11th, 2014, revised March 28th, 2022 and revised August 30th, 2022)

My Writing About The Seeds Of Truth, Version No. 2: Every soul that exists is born as "A Seed Of Truth," so to speak, since we are all born as Literally Nothing. And Nothing has a vibration in the center of it—due to the pressure right in the middle of Nothing—that produces light, which is self-aware or, phrased another way, that light is literally consciousness. Therefore, all of the souls that exist are created as "The Seeds Of Truth," so to speak, from the vibration at the center Nothing. And that center vibration of nothing is The Light Of God, which is also The Consciousness Of God. And so, phrased another way, that Light Consciousness at the center of Literally Nothing is like a seed, which is what we are. –Paul Whiting (written approximately on August 9th, 2013 and turned into 'my writing' from my notes on August 30th, 2022)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I came up with the idea for this poem while I was thinking about developing my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice.

And I realized that an idea written down is like a seed: it is how you record a creative thought—and how you create the possibilty of that thought growing, blossoming, and bearing fruit someday!

Post No. 001: I Am "Three Dark Horses"

WARNING: THIS POST HAS CONTENT THAT MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME READERS. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

I Am "Three Dark Horses"
(A Haiku-Style Poem With Multiple Stanzas)

Imagination
is what you utilize to
choose your chosen names!

"Three Dark Horses" is
my main chosen name because
that is who I am!*

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: A "chosen name" is like a nickname that you choose to give yourself, which represents how you feel about yourself. For example, a dark horse is "a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds," which is who I am!

*And I feel like clarify that these chosen names of mine are NOT LITERAL—they are a METAPHOR, which is a direct comparison without using the words "like," or "as" in the comparison—that SYMBOLIZE how I feel about myself in SPIRITUAL way! It is like the saying "they are a wise old owl," which is used to describe someone who is wise by comparing them directly to owls.

And this poem was only published on my "Three Dark Horses" blog.

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
