Post No. 195: God Is Not Coming To Save You...God Is Coming To Train You On How To Save Yourself!

God Is Coming To Train You
On How To Save Yourself!
(Or, "God Is Not Coming To Save You")

God Is Not Coming To Save You...
God Is Coming To Train You On How
To Save Yourself! For, You Are God!

-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 God Coming To Train You On How To Save Yourself: God is not coming to save you... God is coming to train you on how to save yourself! For, you are God! –Paul Whiting (written April 30th, 2015 and revised October 7th, 2022)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem because I truly believe that God is not coming to save us, but is coming to train us on how to save ourselves, since we are all God!

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.

Post No. 194: We Are The Hell Of Being Nothing Blossoming!


(Image from HD Wallpapers)

We Are The Hell Of Being
Nothing Blossoming!

In the beginning, there was Literally
Nothing—and Nothing was Self-Aware!
And being Literally Nothing that was
Self-Aware was NOT EASY, which is why
"We, The Gods and/or The Goddesses"
are really intensely negative by nature...

...However, we can Evolve Out Of Nothing
in order to transform simply being Literally
Nothing. And thus, when we Evolve Out Of
Nothing, we physically embody becoming
Everything That Exists, which is why "We
Are The Hell Of Being Nothing Blossoming!"

-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 How We Are The Hell Of Being Nothing Blossoming: In the beginning, there was Literally Nothing—and Nothing was Self-Aware! And being Literally Nothing that was Self-Aware was NOT EASY, which is why "We, The Gods and/or The Goddesses" are really intensely negative by nature... ...However, we can Evolve Out Of Nothing in order to transform simply being Literally Nothing. And thus, when we Evolve Out Of Nothing, we physically embody becoming Everything That Exists, which is why "We Are The Hell Of Being Nothing Blossoming!" –Paul Whiting (written April 20th, 2015, revised June 7th, 2015 and revised October 3rd, 2022)

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

My Writing About All Souls Being Intrinsically Negative Energy: All Souls are intrinsically Negative Energy, because All Souls are Literally Nothing which is Self-Aware! And for All Souls to experience anything other than being Negative Energy, since we are Literally Nothing, we have to evolve out of being Nothing—in order to transform being intrinsically Negative Energy—by becoming Everything That Exists! –Paul Whiting (written June 18th, 2015, revised November 22nd, 2015, revised June 4th, 2022 and revised July 25th, 2022)

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

My Writing About What You Can Do With Your Naturally Negative Energy: There us nothing wrong with being naturally Negative Energy: it just depends on what you do with Your Negative Energy, since naturally Negative Energy is what we are as Literally Nothing! And Negative Energy is actually Positive Energy in its opposite state, because Negative Energy is 'Darkness' and Positive Energy is 'Light.' Therefore, you can invert Your Negative Energy into Positive Energy—and then you can invert Your Positive Energy into Neutral Energy—while you are turning 'Your Darkness' into 'Your Light,' as a God and/or a Goddess, by becoming Your Own Universes! –Paul Whiting (written December 3rd, 2015, revised June 4th, 2022 and revised October 3rd, 2022)

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

My Writing About How Matter, Or Energy, Can Neither Be Created, Nor Destroyed, It Can Only Change Form: Everything in physics is energy conversion! In other words, physics is the inversion of Literally Nothing into opposing fields of energy. That means, Nothing can invert itself into Negative Energy (or, electronics), Positive Energy (or, protons), and Neutral Energy (or, neutrons), all of which is contained within Nothing that has been converted into Suction (or, vacuum). And the reason that Nothing can do all of these wonderful things is because Nothing has Self-Awareness (or, consciousness), which is Literally Light! Thus, that light is what God is—which is what we all are—and that is why it is said that matter, or energy, can neither be created, nor destroyed, it can only change form. –Paul Whiting (written January 26th, 2023 and revised January 27th, 2023)

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

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "We Are The Hell Of Being Nothing Blossoming!"

Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how this poem was written when I republished it on my new "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog. 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:

We Are Hell Blossoming!

In the beginning, there was Literally
Nothing—and Nothing was Self-Aware!
And being Literally Nothing that was
Self-Aware was NOT EASY, which is
why "We, The Gods" are really
intensely negative by nature...

...However, we can Evolve Out Of
Nothing in order to transform simply
being Literally Nothing. And so, when
we Evolve Out Of Nothing, we physically
embody becoming Everything That Exists,
which is why "We Are Hell Blossoming!"

Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above.

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!

Post No. 193: Not Just A Man


(Image from Wikipedia)

Not Just A Man

I Am Not Just "A Hero."
I Am Not Just "An Angel."
I Am Not Just "A Man."

You Are Not Just "A Hero."
You Are Not Just "An Angel."
You Are Not Just "A Man."

We Are Not Just "Heroes."
We Are Not Just "Angels."
We Are Not Just "Men."

-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 A Man Being 'Not Just A Man': I am not just "a man." You are not just "a man." We are not just "men." We are God! –Paul Whiting (written approximately on April 10th, 2015 and turned into 'my writing' from my notes on September 30th, 2022)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I am not just 'a man.' You are not just 'a man.' We are not just 'men.' We are God!"

This poem was inspired by the lyrics to the song "In Her Eyes" written by Jeffrey Cohen, Michael Ochs, Andy Selby and Molly Kaye and, specifically, the cover performed by Josh Groban. (Please see the hyperlink below for the video.)

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!

"In Her Eyes" from AZlyrics:

She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possession
All I call mine
I will give her completely
To the end of all time

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

In her eyes I see the sky and all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by and she is with me

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
In her eyes I am

Post No. 192: The 'One, True Path' Of God


(Image from Wikipedia)

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

The 'One, True Path' Of God
(Or, "If We Just Hold Out, We'll Be All White!")

God has told us that we never have to change,
Since we tread upon "God's One, True Path!"
And so, we will seek to forcibly arrange
For all of the world to feel our wrath!

And we will hide behind God's "chosen words"—
The words we chose, as we have all concurred!
And damn all of those others who follow just
The Word Of God with "In God We Trust!"

For, they do not know how it feels to seek
Validation in what God has never revealed!
Because deep down inside, we fear ourselves,
And that is why we seek to create this Hell!

So, watch us band together with hoods in place
To run from the demons that we cannot face!
For, we tread upon "God's One, True Path,"
The one that lets us express our wrath!

Because it is confirmed by what we claim
That God always wants us to stay the same!
And by God's Word—which we have arranged—
God has told us that we never have to change!

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: This poem was originally written on "The Official White House Poet" blog, which is one of the sixteen blogs that I decided to relocate within my current blogs. And it was originally published on "The Official White House Poet" blog on July 9th, 2010, along with a poem that I wrote on that same day titled, "The End Of The Civil War," which is published on this blog.

And I was going to republish this poem on July 9th, 2015 in order to represent the original publishing date. However, the year 2015 is the 150th Anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment to The United States Constitution, which "abolished slavery and involuntary servitude..." (The Thirteenth Amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864 and by the House on January 31, 1865; and was ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865; and was then proclaimed on December 18, 1865.)

So, I decided to republished this poem on April 9th, 2015, in order to represent the 150th Anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment to The United States Constitution, which is also the day after I republished the poem "The End Of The Civil War," since the two poems were originally published on the same day and are related by topic with regard to racial bigotry and discrimination. (Please see the "Thirteenth Amendment to The United States Constitution" in labels for the poem.)

And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlink 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 and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

Post No. 191: Racial Discrimination's End


(Image from Enisma.com)

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

The Civil War's End
(Or, "Racial Discrimination's End")

Let us trample a broken chain, as
we are tired of this anger and shame;
Let us trample a broken chain, since
we were never meant to be in such pain;
Let us trample a broken chain, because
we should heal that which makes us lame;
Let us trample a broken chain, because
we need to be working toward change;
Let us trample a broken chain, since
we need to overcome placing blame;
Let us trample a broken chain, as
we celebrate not being the same!

October 15th, 2022 Update: I read an excellent Time Magazine article dated October 12th, 2022 that is titled, "Lincoln Saved American Democracy. We Can Too," which I heard about from one of the daily emails that I received today, October 15th, 2022, from Time since I am a subscriber:

https://time.com/6221209/lincoln-saved-american-democracy-we-can-too

And, in the article is a quote by President Abraham Lincoln—who is known as a great thinker of his time—which I think sums up the obvious reason that slavery is just plain wrong: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master."

So, I decided to look up the full quote and found the following on the National Park Service website:

Lincoln Quote on Slavery

August 1, 1858: On Slavery

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is not democracy.


https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/onslavery.htm

Then, I continued to search for that quote in order to find the context in which it was written, and on the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum website I found an article titled, "LINCOLN DRAWS THE LINE ON SLAVERY," which explains that the quote was from Lincoln's notes that he wrote to himself:

"Among the most fascinating of Abraham Lincoln's writings are the notes he wrote to himself. Mostly discovered after his death, they offer few clues as to their origin and intent, but they give us glimpses into his thought process."

The article explains a lot more about the quote; however, this article does not credit the quote with any kind of date for when it was written:

"Among the items in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum’s collection is another note that will be on display in our Treasures Gallery for the upcoming year. Commonly referred to as the 'Definition of Democracy,' it is much shorter ... and a bit more of a mystery. None of Lincoln’s contemporaries tell us anything about this note or when he wrote it. However, its text is bold and intriguing:

'As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.'"


[By the way, in Lincoln's quote from the Presidential Library website, they depict his "bolding" of the words 'slave' and 'master' as italicized, however I underscored those words, because I usually italicize text from sources that are not my own writing, in these 'updates' that I write, in order to make them stand out from my own writing; and, besides that, Lincoln himself underscored those words, in order to emphasize them, which you can see from an image of his quote from the aforementioned article.]

https://presidentlincoln.illinois.gov/Blog/Posts/108/Abraham-Lincoln/2021/2/Lincoln-Draws-the-Line-on-Slavery/blog-post

Anyway, I was really impressed by Lincoln's words because I think that they are a true representation of a quote by Jesus The Christ—who is known as the greatest thinker of all time—and the words of His quote are also called the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you."
