"Are You Going My Way?"
Oh, Holy Mother Earth,
Are You Going My Way?
Will You Travel With Me
Down My Karmic Highway?
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"
My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: What I am trying to convey in this poem about my great love for Gaia The Goddess is a loving message about totally respecting Mother Earth totally and completely.
In other words, totally and completely respect "Holy Mother Earth!" And love Mother Earth—and all of life—unconditionally by loving Mother Earth—and all of life—conditionally.
Therefore, love Mother Earth unconditionally (with all of your heart and mind, body and soul) because She is Your Goddess Mother. In other words, you were born on Planet Earth (Gaia The Goddess) and you are reincarnating through Your Karma Lifetimes with Gaia, because She gave birth to Your Karmic Body (the body in which you were born based upon Your Karma). Also, love Mother Earth conditionally (with respect to all of the various conditions of life) for the simple reason that Gaia gave birth to Your Karmic Body.
In other words, love Your Mother Earth conditionally (with respect to the various conditions of life) and unconditionally (with all of your heart and mind, body and soul) by always—and in all ways—taking the time, energy and resources to:
1. Hydrate, feed, cloth, shelter, educate and respect every single human being. (For, "You And Your Brother Are Both Keepers," because "We Are All A Part Of God!" Therefore, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You," because "You And The Other Are One!")
2. Create worldwide human systems (that is, social, educational, business, economic, infrastructure and government systems, etc.) that are "green and clean" (that is, environmentally-friendly utilizing clean energy), organic, sustainable, fair trade and as locally oriented as possible in order to create as small of a "human footprint" as possible for each human in each lifetime. And always—and in all ways—respect all of life. (For, "We Are All A Part Of God!" Therefore, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You," because "You And The Other Are One!")
3. Treat all living beings with total respect, including microbes, plants, insects, animals and, of course, people. In fact, treat all living beings with the very same respect that you would treat your very own soul until the end of time. (Therefore, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You," because "You And The Other Are One!" For, "God Loves All Of Us, Because God Is All Of Us!")
4. Treat all "non-living" beings with total respect, because "Inanimate Objects" have souls too. For, every thing that exists is alive—that is, 'each thing' that exists lives—because everything has consciousness—that is, 'all things' have consciousness. In fact, treat all "non-living beings" with the very same respect that you would treat your very own soul until the end of time. (Therefore, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You," because "You And The Other Are One!" For, "God Loves All Of Us, Because God Is All Of Us!")
5. And treat yourself with total respect. In fact, treat yourself with the very same respect that you would treat God until the end of time. (For, "You And God Are One," because "You Are The Part Of God That God Created Just For You!" And "God Loves All Of Us, Because God Is All Of Us!" Therefore, "Simply Love Yourself The Way That God Simply Loves You!")
By the way, this poem is what partly what inspired to me to think about developing my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice. You see, I was trying to create a spiritual practice that encompassed the idea that "We Are One With God" and, thus, "We Are One Each Other." And, therefore, the Golden Rule, or "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You," is the one of the most important spiritual principle that exists!
And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" 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 I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
