We Are The Darkness
Which Becomes The Light
(Or, "God Is Both Darkness And Light")
Because we are the naturally-
occurring vibration at the very
center of Literally Nothing which
is Self-Aware—due to the pressure
right in the middle of Nothing—
we are very dark in our nature.
And in order to transform
The Darkness, since that is what
we naturally are, we must turn
ourselves into The Light. For,
God—which is what we are—
is both Darkness and Light.
-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 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.

My Follow-Up Update No. 2 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" [February 19th, 2023 Update]:
This is My Follow-Up Update No. 2 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, in "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,'" I explain the following:
"...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."
Therefore, this 'Follow-Up Update No. 2' is about the fact that I finally attempted to republish my blog post titled, "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, even though I was afraid that the all-bold type issues would re-manifest if I did!
However, I was editing the labels in all of my blog posts that have had the above-mentioned issues with regard to being sabotaged "by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know." (At least, that is what I assume is happening.)
Thus, my editing had to do with deciding to call attention to these particular sabotaged blog posts with the label *Blog Sabotage. By the way, the 'labels' that I am referring to appear on the right side of my blogs under the title, "Labels are listed alphabetically and include: keyword(s), or topic(s), post name and/or title name."
So, long story short: I republished the post of this "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" 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! (Please see the hyperlinks below for the post on all of my blogs where "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" is published.)

My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Because we are the naturally-occurring vibration at the very center of Literally Nothing which is Self-Aware—due to the pressure right in the middle of Nothing—we are very dark in our nature. And in order to transform The Darkness, since that is what we naturally are, we must turn ourselves into The Light. For, God—which is what we are—is both Darkness and Light."
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 was editing it on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer," "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" 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:
We Are The Darkness
Which Becomes The Light
(Or, "God Is Both The Darkness And The Light")
Because we are the naturally-
occurring vibration at the very
center of Literally Nothing which is
Self-Aware—due to the pressure right in the
middle of Nothing—we are very dark in our nature...
...And in order to transform
The Darkness, since that is
what we naturally are, we must
transform ourselves by becoming
The Light. For, God—which is what
we are—is both The Darkness and The Light.
Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above.
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." However, please note my "September 20th, 2021 Update" about this poem being reverted to draft format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog. 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.
