Post No. 086: The Oneness Of God — If I Could Heal The World

(Image from YouTube)

The Main Problem In
All Of Life Is That We All
Began As Literally Nothing
(Or, "If I Could Heal The World")

If I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main problem in
all of life is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

And, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main solution in
all of life is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

Thus, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main reason all of life
is so challenging is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

And so, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main reason all of life
is so rewarding is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

That is why, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main conflict with all of us
being so negative is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

Therefore, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main resolution with all of us
being so positive is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

Furthermore, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main devilishness with all of us
acting evil, at times, is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

Additionally, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main goodness with all of us
acting godly, at times, is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

At long last, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main fear in all of life
is that we all literally
began as Literally Nothing.

And finally, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main love in all of life
is that we can all literally
become Literally Everything.

My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" [September 20th, 2021 Update]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my "Small All White in the Forest" blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

And it took me a while to figure out what was causing that to happen, but I concluded that it was two particular posts being published: "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World") as well as "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light."

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog; however, those two posts are still published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the posts.)

My Follow-Up Update No. 1 To My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" [July 27th, 2022 Update, Written On July 28th, 2022]:

This is My Follow-Up Update No. 1 to my 'September 20th, 2021 Update' that has the same information as "My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (Which Is Also Titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') And The Blog Post 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light,'" in which I explained the following:

"I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as 'Popular Posts,' 'Blog Archives' and 'Labels,' etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

And it took me a while to figure out what was causing that to happen, but I concluded that it was two particular posts being published: 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (which is also titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') as well as 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light.'

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog; however, those two posts are still published on my 'Poet, Artist and Philosopher' and 'Three Dark Horses' blogs."

That being said, I watched a video on YouTube titled, "We can't give in to doomerism" yesterday, July 27th, 2022. And this was actually the second time I had watched this video, with the first time being on July 25th, 2022. So, after I watched this video the first time, I thought about posting some kind of optimistic prose, or poetry, from one of my blogs; but I decided against that later on.

Then, when the same video appeared, again, in my YouTube Recommended Videos a couple of days later, I thought, again, that I should select some optimistic prose, or poetry, from my blogs to post as a comment on that video! And I thought about utilizing my poem titled, "The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything," but then I thought that might be a bit too much.

So, then I decided that my poem titled, "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," would be more appropriate. Thus, I took the time to edit the poem—on all of my blogs where it is published—in preparation for posting that poem as a comment on the above-mentioned YouTube video.

However, after having edited said poem, I decided against posting it on said YouTube video, as a comment, because I am concerned about being criticized for my comments on YouTube, especially considering that this poem implies that I basically know as much as God knows about how, and why, the Universe exists! Thus, I decided to not post a comment just in case I 'triggered' some true believing religious zealot, who may end up reading my blogs and conclude that I am some kind of "sinner," who needs to die and go to Hell. (But, maybe, that's just me!)

By the way, the reason why I decided to not consider posting my poem "The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything" on the above-mentioned YouTube video, as a comment, is because that poem also makes it seem as if I know as much as God knows about how, and why, the entire Universe exists.

But while I was editing the poem "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," I also took the time to edit the post of that poem which I have reverted to 'draft' format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, due to the issues that I have had, in the past, with this poem being published on that blog. (Please see the above-mentioned quote from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.')

Thus, while I was editing the "Small All White in the Forest" blog post edition of the "If I Could Heal The World" poem, I decided to see if I was still having the same issues as before with this poem being published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, as quoted above from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.'

So, long story short: I republished the post of this "If I Could Heal The World" poem that I had reverted to 'draft' format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog and it turned out that the text of that blog was no longer in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts—and that is why I decided to write this update!

Now, to clarify, I have not attempted to republish my blog post titled, "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, since I am afraid that the all-bold type issues will re-manifest if I do! Therefore, I am thanking my lucky stars that I can republish my poem titled, "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog and I am leaving it at that. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the post on all of my blogs where "If I Could Heal The World" is published.)

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "If I could heal the world, I would teach everyone that the main problem in all of life is that we all began as Literally Nothing."

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."

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

Post No. 059: The Oneness Of God — Say A Little Prayer

(Image from Circle of Healing Center)

Say A Little Prayer
(Or, "A Healing Poem")

Whenever your poor head is reeling,
due to some terribly sick feeling, please
take this "pill," and let it help you to "heal,"
during the times when you are feeling so ill!

There is a loving light within us all,
that is powerful, bright and wide,
and it shines like the noonday sun
precisely where God put it inside!

For, God understood that we would need
God with us—shining brightly inside—so
God placed God's Loving Light within us
to help us out during the difficult times!

And that is the reason that God gave us all
"God's Eternal Light Of Love And Healing,"
which is God's Everlasting Sun that shines
forever with God's Eternally-Loving Feelings!

So, "say a little prayer" whenever you are
feeling like "hell at high noon" and call upon
the Light Of God that is inside of you to speed
up your healing, so that you may "get well soon!"

My Writing About God's Unconditional Love, Version No. 1: God's love for us is totally unconditional, because God is a constantly-changing, continuously-fluctuating and multidimensional field of energy (in the form of The Universe) who totally loves us through the ever-changing possibility of reflecting whatever we are expressing individually (and collectively) as souls within God's Universe! –Paul Whiting (written March 23rd, 2012, revised August 24th, 2022 and revised May 24th, 2023)

My Writing About God's Unconditional Love, Version No. 2: God's love for us is totally unconditional, because God is a constantly-changing, multidimensional field of energy, in the form of The Universe, which is continuously-fluctuating. And God totally loves us through the ever-changing possibilities of reflecting whatever we are expressing individually, and collectively, as souls within God's Universe! –Paul Whiting (written March 23rd, 2012, revised August 24th, 2022 and revised May 24th, 2023)

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

My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 1: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That is where God is. –Paul Whiting (September 19th, 2023)

My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 2: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That's where God is. For, God is the entire Universe which, I believe, is like a Super Computer! Therefore, the reason that God is inside of you is due to the fact that God Is All Of Us in zillions of different forms—such as plants, insects and animals, which includes humans. And that is why God is contained within each one of our consciousnesses, which is how, and why, prayer works. So, pray to your God! For, God is always listening, since God is always there. –Paul Whiting (written September 19th, 2023 and revised March 16th, 2024)

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

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I cannot remember which Facebook friend I wrote this "Healing Poem" for, but I do remember trying to convey the idea that "God's Loving Light" is within us all and that it can help you to heal if you will pray—as well as if you will tend to whatever it is that may be ailing you! So, "pray for help" but, also, "deal with your issues."

For, God helps those who help themselves.

I should mention that this poem was written for—and posted on—Facebook, way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" 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" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 025: The Oneness Of God — The Immutable Circle Of Life

(Image from pixshark.com)

The Immutable Circle Of Life

Do not be afraid, for you
have not been forsaken!
The life that came your way
can never truly be taken.

Every soul who comes to say,
“I am coming! Here my cry!”
is preparing you for the day
when they’re ready to arrive.

Their love for you is such that
they simply can’t stay away and
their spirit is strong enough that
they know how to find their way.

So rest in peace, My Dearest Friend,
and let these tidings end your strife:
your bundle of joy will come again in
The Immutable Circle Of Life.

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem for my friend Diane who lost a child (please see the quote above). And I tried to convey the idea that all of the souls who are waiting to be born—but who are unable to be born for any number of reasons—will return to be born again in The Immutable Circle Of Life, because "they know how to find their way!"

By the way, I also did a rewrite of this poem that I wrote for 'The Orphans' titled, "The Goddess And God Of All The Orphans," which is published on this blog. (Please see "The Immutable Circle Of Life-Style Poem" in labels for the poem.)

I should mention that this poem was inspired by a quotation from Facebook (again, please see the quote above), way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" 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" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 018: The Oneness Of God — Grieving For The Loss Of Who I Am Not

Grieving For The Loss
Of Who I Am Not

I cried for a reason that mystifies me!
I cried because I was comparing
myself to someone else.
And I also realized how much pain I still have
waiting to be vocalized for this very reason.
It is the same pain I have been
running from my entire life.
It is the pain that surrounded me when
I was young, in my silent desperation to
not to be found out for who I truly was—
for the fear that I would not belong...

...and for the fear that I would not fit in!

The funny thing is, I never did fit in
—even when I was trying to.
And the more I tried to fit in, the worse it
got—the more I pushed others away, because
they could feel I was acting out of fear.
And, like angry guards at the gate, they
attacked with their cruel words and their
thoughtless actions. And, thus, I ran away
from my fear and further into my pain...

...until I stopped running!

And then, it finally dawned on me that I
had been—literally—running away from
myself! I know that may sound simplistic;
but, at the time, I thought that I was running
toward what I should be, rather than
running away from what I was.
And I am realizing that is why I cried!
There is a part of me who still
grieves for not being like the others,
for knowing that I don’t belong and
for knowing that I don’t fit in...

...because I am someone entirely different!

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem before I moved to Portland, Oregon from Salt Lake City, Utah. And, although I do not remember the particular circumstances that inspired this poem, I do remember crying "because I was comparing myself to someone else," which is something that I do a lot!

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" 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" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
