(Image by Paul Whiting)

Flight of the Supermoon

Look, up in the sky!
It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's the Supermoon in Flight!"

-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: "Look, up in the sky...it's the Supermoon in flight!"

And this poem was only published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog.

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

"'Supermoon' Will Be Visible Saturday Night" from The Huffington Post:

"Look! Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Supermoon! That's what you'll see when you gaze into the heavens in the east tonight right at sunset. It'll sort of be hard to miss as long as you have clear skies."

Post No. 139: 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., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"

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 Possibility: All ideas are seeds and they only grow if you help them to do so! –Paul Whiting (written approximately on March 19th, 2011 and turned into 'my writing' on August 30th, 2022)

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

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 Poem About The Trees In Springtime:

The Trees Must Be So 'Re-Leaved'
(Or, "A Springtime Haiku-Style Poem")

The trees must be so
're-leaved' when it is springtime:
Winter is over!

–Paul Whiting September 12th, 2022 and revised September 13th, 2022)

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

My Poetic 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!

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.

"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. 138: For St. Patrick's Day 2011 — For the Goddess Enya on St. Patrick's Day!


(Image from The Hairpin)

The Goddess Enya

Enya's music is
like hearing seeds of hope grow
in the Irish soil!

-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: I wrote this poem as a homage to Enya, who is one of favorite musical artists, because she is an incredibly talented singer-songwriter! And Enya is her own economy, since she is Ireland's best-selling solo musician. Below is a sample song from her work! (Please see the hyperlink below for the video.)

And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 136: New "The Oneness Of God" Spiritual Practice


(Image by Paul Whiting)

"The Oneness Of God"
Spiritual Practice
(Or, 'We Are All A Part Of God')

The Oneness Of God Spiritual Practice is based upon Ten Spiritual Principles:

Principle No. 1: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU, BECAUSE YOU AND THE OTHER ARE ONE! FOR, YOU AND GOD ARE ONE, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! What you do unto others will be done unto you forever, until you transform Your Karmic Energy, based upon the effort that you put into changing. For, "We Are All A Part Of God," which is why God continually reflects back what you are doing to God—as if whatever you are doing to God, you are actually doing to yourself. And this "Gift Of Self-Reflection" is made possible through The Power Of Karma, which is a recording of everything that you have ever believed, thought, done, felt, said, and chosen to experience (and just like the name of a music album, it is called "The Record"), which is continuously playing back in relationship to The Karmic Recording of your current incarnation. THEREFORE, TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WISH TO BE TREATED, BECAUSE YOU AND THE OTHER ARE ONE! AND, THUS, YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR ARE ONE! SO, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY SELF, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 2: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY SELF, BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR ARE ONE, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! For, your neighbor is a part of your consciousness, which includes your neighbors across the entire universe, because "We Are All A Part Of God." THEREFORE, TREAT EVERYONE WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU DESERVE! FOR, YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR ARE ONE! THUS, YOU AND GOD ARE ONE! SO, LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART AND MIND, BODY AND SOUL, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 3: LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART AND MIND, BODY AND SOUL, BECAUSE YOU AND GOD ARE ONE, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! For, we are—literally—all a part of God's Body, including God's Spiritual Body (or, God's Energy Body) and God's Physical Body (or, God's Matter Body), because "We Are All A Part Of God." THEREFORE, LOVE GOD AS YOU WOULD LOVE YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PART OF GOD THAT GOD CREATED JUST FOR YOU, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 4: LOVE YOURSELF AS GOD LOVES YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PART OF GOD THAT GOD CREATED JUST FOR YOU, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! God's Love is so pure and simple that—literally—anyone can understand it: "God Created You In God's Own Image. So, What's Not To Love?" THEREFORE, SIMPLY LOVE YOURSELF THE WAY THAT GOD SIMPLY LOVES YOU! AND LOVE YOURSELF THE WAY THAT GOD LOVES ALL OF US, AS GOD IS ALL OF US, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 5: KNOW THAT GOD LOVES ALL OF US, AS GOD IS ALL OF US! AND THAT IS WHY GOD LOVES ALL OF US, BECAUSE GOD SIMPLY LOVES ONESELF AS GOD, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! God loves every soul. For, we are—literally—all a part of God's Spiritual (or, Energy) and Physical (or, Matter) Body. And God simply loves Oneself as God which, of course, includes every soul that exists. THEREFORE, SIMPLY LOVE YOURSELF, AND LOVE EVERYBODY ELSE, THE WAY THAT GOD SIMPLY LOVES YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE! THUS, "YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE BOTH KEEPERS!" FOR, GOD CAN NEVER THROW US AWAY, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 6: KNOW THAT "YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE BOTH KEEPERS!" FOR, GOD CAN NEVER THROW US AWAY, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! God can never throw us away, because God is all of us. And that is why God would never throw us away in order to solve problems the way that we solve problems, by throwing away everyone else that we see as being "a problem." THEREFORE, GOD CAN NEVER THROW US AWAY, BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT WAY! FOR, KARMA IS THE LAW OF GOD! AND KARMA IS MATHEMATICAL PERFECTION!

Principle No. 7: KNOW THAT KARMA IS THE LAW OF GOD! FOR, KARMA IS MATHEMATICAL PERFECTION, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! In other words, "What Goes Around, Always Comes Around." And what that means is that God is—literally—a perfect mirror, because God only creates perfection. And that is how God is perfect and why God is perfect. And that means that God can only reflect whatever you believe to be true about life and God. Therefore, whatever you believe, think, do, feel, say, and choose to experience in every incarnation, will always come back around to you again. THEREFORE, KARMA IS MATHEMATICAL PERFECTION, BECAUSE GOD IS REFLECTING EVERYONE, WHICH INCLUDES YOUR "ENEMY," SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 8: KNOW THAT GOD IS REFLECTING EVERYONE, WHICH INCLUDES YOUR "ENEMY!" THEREFORE, "WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE US," SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! People should NOT be killing other people. People should NOT be committing acts of violence, and senseless cruelty, toward any other being, including all 'living beings' and all 'non-living beings.' Only a "Conservative Thinker," who thinks "Conservatively Only" (and never thinks "Liberally" or "Critically"), would ever think to use threats, or violence, or even death, in order to solve problems. For, all beings—whom the "Conservative-Only Thinker" feels totally justified in being so very cruel toward—are all God. THEREFORE, LOVE YOUR ENEMY AS YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR ENEMY ARE ONE, JUST AS YOU GOD ARE ONE! FOR, NO ONE BUT YOU IS RESPONSIBLE YOUR KARMA, AND FOR HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 9: KNOW THAT NO ONE BUT YOU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR KARMA, AND FOR HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU AND GOD ARE ONE, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! For, God made—literally—everything that exists. And "You And God Are One." Therefore, no one but you is to blame for Your Karma—not The Devil, not your enemy, not your family, not your friends, not your culture and certainly not God. THEREFORE, KARMA IS THE PERFECT LAW OF GOD, SINCE GOD IS A MATHEMATICALLY-PERFECT MIRROR IN WHICH EVERYONE IS REFLECTED, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

Principle No. 10: KNOW THAT GOD IS A MATHEMATICALLY-PERFECT MIRROR IN WHICH EVERYONE IS REFLECTED, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD! The Reason that God is perfect mirror has to do with the fact that "You And God Are One." Therefore, God is always a part of you—and, specifically, God is your subconscious. And that is how and why Karma works, as well as how and why prayer works. For, "God Is Your Karmic Memory" (or, "The Record") of everything that you believe, think, do, feel, say, and choose to experience, which is continuously playing back in relationship to The Karmic Recording of your current incarnation. And God does all of this through your subconscious, because God is your subconscious. And that is why "You And God Are One." And that is also why "You And The Other Are One." THEREFORE, DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU, BECAUSE YOU AND THE OTHER ARE ONE! FOR, YOU AND GOD ARE ONE, SINCE WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD!

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

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 Writing About The Saying By Jesus The Christ, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You": The saying by Jesus, "Do unto other as you would have done unto you" is literal. For, whatever you are doing unto others is going to be done unto you—by your own soul in those other lifetimes, when you were doing unto others—through "The Power Of Karma." –Paul Whiting (written August 2nd, 2016, revised August 16th, 2016, revised July 29th, 2021 and revised July 24th, 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)

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

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 Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "The Oneness Of God 'Spiritual Practice' is based upon Ten Spiritual Principles."

The term "Your Brother" is a reference to All Of Your Fellow Humankind, as in the old saying "You Are Your Brother's Keeper" or, as in the new saying "You And Your Brother Are Both Keepers!"

The phrase "Mathematical Perfection" refers to a concept that I hope will someday be proved mathematically, which is the literal existence of Karma. For, I truly believe that Karma is a perfect mathematical equation and that it can be proven to exist, thereby, mathematically proving "The Oneness Of God Spiritual Principles."

The term "Conservative Thinker" refers to someone who only "Thinks Conservatively," rather than a "Liberal Thinker," who only "Thinks Liberally," or, a "Critical Thinker," who only "Thinks Critically." And I feel that Conservative Thinkers are those who usually want to lie, cheat, steal, force, coerce, manipulate, bribe, threaten, cause harm toward—or even end the life of—those that the Conservative Thinkers do not like, in order to "solve the problem with everyone else," or to "get what they want out of life." And the Conservative Thinkers do this foolishly thinking that God has "Enemies In Life" to blame for "God's Problems!" Or, they foolishly think that God has "Someone To Blame" when "Things Don't Go God's Way!" Or, they foolishly think that God somehow lies, cheats, steals, forces, coerces, manipulates, bribes, threatens, causes harm toward others—or even ends the life of others—in order to "Get Ahead In Life!" In other words, it is just ludicrous to think that you can lie, cheat, steal, cause harm toward others—or, even, end the life of others—without paying for it dearly through The Power Of Karma!

The phrase "Mathematically-Perfect Mirror" means that God is "Karmically Reflecting" your belief system back to you. So basically, God is always "saying back to you" what "you are saying to God" throughout your life that "You Believe To Be True About Life And God!" In addition to that, God is also always "saying back to you" what "you are saying to God" throughout all of your lifetimes that "You Believe To Be True About Life And God!" And this "Karmic Reflection" is based entirely on what "You Believe To Be True About Life And God!" Thus, this Karmic Reflection also includes your past lives, or your previous incarnations.

And this prose 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 prose 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 prose applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.

"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]
