God's Eternal Plan Of Salvation!

God's Eternal Plan Of Salvation,
For Every Soul, Is To Evolve Out Of
Literal Non-Existence—Or, Literally
Nothing—Literally Forever!

...Because Literal Non-Existence—Or,
Literally Nothing—Is What We All Are:
So, Evolving Out Of Non-Existence Is
A Continuous Effort And That Is
"God's Eternal Plan Of Salvation!"

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

My Writing About God's Eternal Plan To Evolve Out Of Literally Nothing: God's Eternal Plan Of Salvation, for every soul, is to evolve out of literal non-existence—or Literally Nothing—literally forever! –Paul Whiting (written March 20th, 2016, revised March 21st, 2016, revised June 20th, 2022 and revised October 11th, 2022)

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

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I originally thought of the idea for this poem on St. Patrick's Day 2016—and I even published a post for it on that day in preparation for writing a poem to go along with the post, which I finally got around to writing on March 20th, 2016—but, then, I realized that I had decided to stop posting for holidays and special occasions!

You see, on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog where this post was originally published, beginning in January 2013, I tried to create a post for virtually every holiday and special occasion of which I was aware, but I realized by September 2014 that I did not have enough time and energy to continue posting for every holiday and special occasion!

Plus, I also wanted this poem to have more of a "universal appeal" and to not be focused on just one holiday or special occasion... Therefore, I decided to republish this post on March 21st (as in the phrase "3...2...1...Nothing!"), and at 1:23 AM (as in the phrase "1...2...3...Everything!"), because Literal Non-Existence—or, Literally Nothing—is what we all are: So, evolving out of Non-Existence is a continuous effort and that is "God's Eternal Plan Of Salvation!"

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.

Post No. 037: The Oneness Of God — "Christ" Into The Word "Christian"

(Image from H3DWallpapers)

"Christ" Into The
Word "Christian"

They don't just profess the words
"I am saved" and then proceed to
turn away from all others' needs.

They see where help is required and
then reach out a hand to lift up those
who may have "fallen from grace."

For, they truly give life to the
word "salvation," since we are
really here to save each other.

In other words, we are here to save
each other from each other because,
at times, we may lack compassion.

And they can honestly call upon
God to literally "appear," which they
accomplish by "appearing" themselves.

And this is how we are actually able
to see God In All Of His Glory offering
shelter to those who may be without.

And this is how we can clearly find
God In All Of Her Majesty making meals
for those who may be down and out.

For, they walk the talk of God's Love For Us,
which is formally known as The Golden Rule,
or The Platinum Rule, or The Diamond Rule.*

And this is how you know a "Genuine
Christian," since they are genuinely able
to put "Christ" into the word "Christian."

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

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

*From a Google search of "another way to say 'golden rule'": The Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," which was paraphrased from the Sermon on the Mount; The Platinum Rule: "Do unto others as they would want to be done to them," which was developed by author Dave Kerpen; and The Diamond Rule: "You treat others as they wish YOU to treat them," which was written by Eric Kauffman and posted on LinkedIn.

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

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "You know a 'Genuine Christian' since they are able to put 'Christ Into The Word Christian,' because they can honestly call upon God to literally 'appear,' which they accomplish by 'appearing' themselves."

Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how one line of this poem was written when I realized that I should remove the metaphorical comparison to "blindness," since it is disrespectful toward those who are blind. So, I wanted to show you how this particular line used to be written, before I revised it as above.

And it used to be written like this:

They don't just profess the words
"I am saved" and then proceed to
"turn a blind eye" to all others' needs.

Besides that, I revised this poem—yet again—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" 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:

"Christ" Into The
Word "Christian"

They don't just profess the words
"I am saved" and then proceed to
turn away from all others' needs.

They see where help is required and
then reach out a hand to lift up those
who may have "fallen from grace."

For, they truly give life to the
word "salvation," since we are

In other words, we are here to save

And they can honestly call upon
God to literally "appear," which they

And this is how we are actually able
to see God In All Of His Glory offering
shelter to those who may be without.

And this is how we can clearly find
God In All Of Her Majesty making meals
for those who may be down and out.

For, they authentically walk the talk of God's
Love For Us, which is formerly known as
The Golden, or Diamond, or Platinum Rule.*

And this is how you know a "Genuine
Christian," since they are genuinely able
to put "Christ" into the word "Christian."

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" 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."

Post No. 024: The Oneness Of God — And Found God

(Image from ForWallpaper.com)

And Found God

I came to the edge of understanding
and found God patiently waiting.

I looked upon the face of death
and found God calmly breathing.

I gave up my hopes and dreams
and found God secretly believing.

I basked in anger and resentment
and found God totally forgiving.

I wallowed in the depths of sadness
and found God quietly reflecting.

I embraced the pomp of certainty
and found God playfully laughing.

I feared that no one would love me
and found God disarmingly adoring.

I came to a new understanding
and found God joyously celebrating.

My Writing About How God Mirrors Whatever We Believe To Be True: I think that God is a quantum computer, because God's Consciousness is the entire Universe! And I also think that you and I are individual projections of God's Consciousness—as individual manifestations of God—and that we are all Gods and/or Goddesses of our own creations! Therefore, God acts just like a "Karmic Mirror," if you will, reflecting what each one of us believes to be true about ourselves, and each other, in relationship to God's Universe. Thus, God simply reflects whatever you and I believe to be true—no matter what we believe—because God is simply mirroring us, being an exact reflection of God, as individual manifestations of God. –Paul Whiting (written August 5th, 2011, revised March 20th, 2015, revised July 29th, 2021, revised March 21st, 2022, revised July 24th, 2022 and revised January 31st, 2023)

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

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: After moving to Portland, Oregon in August of 1999 from Salt Lake City, Utah, where I was born, I returned back to Utah for about two years from January of 2007 to April of 2009, while I was trying to save money, by living with my father, as I tried to pay off my credit card debt.

Then, a few months after returning to Salt Lake City, I became really sick and I was hospitalized about a dozen times over several months due to multiple infections. Plus, I went from being simply HIV-positive to having full-blown AIDS, which is also when I stopped being able to work. Also, I eventually had to declare bankruptcy, and I applied to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), since I could no longer work. And I almost died a few times due to the various opportunistic infections. But it was the last time that I almost died—and I faced my fear of not being able to take care of myself—which inspired this poem! Plus, this is when I first started taking HIV medications, which I have been taking ever since, and that has really helped to maintain my good health.

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.

However, I may be remembering that incorrectly, because this poem may have been written in Portland, Oregon after I moved there for the second time in 2009; but, I think that this was the only poem that I wrote while I was still in Salt Lake City, Utah when I returned to try and pay off my credit card debt.
