Post No. 173: For Valentine's Day 2014 — "You Are The One That You Want!"


(Image by Paul Whiting)

You Are The One That You Want!
(Or, "Become Your One, True Love")

Contrary to popular views,
I truly believe that you—and
every other soul out there—are
not, in fact, meant to "Find Your
One, True Love." I truly feel that you
—and every other soul out there—are
meant to "Become Your One, True Love!"

-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 Becoming Your One, True Love: Contrary to popular views, I truly believe that you—and every other soul out there—are not, in fact, meant to "find your one, true love." I truly feel that you—and every other soul out there—are meant to "become your one, true love!" –Paul Whiting (written February 14th, 2014, revised September 19th, 2021, revised October 3rd, 2021 and revised August 23rd, 2022)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I truly feel that you—and every other soul out there—are meant to 'become your one, true love!'"

Also, 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. And I decided to keep the poems in that series which were the most relevant to this blog, of which this is one.

And this poem was also published on my "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 I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 149: For Valentine's Day 2013 — "Fall In Love With Yourself!"


(Image by Paul Whiting)

"Fall In Love With Yourself!"

Fall in love with yourself!
For, no other being can ever
truly know, trust and love you
in the way that you can truly
know, trust and love yourself:
because relationships with others
may come and go, but your relationship
with yourself lasts quite literally forever...

-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 What Stands Between You And Self-Love: Fall in love with yourself! Because Self-Love is what we are due! For, the only thing that stands between you and Self-Love is you! –Paul Whiting (written approximately on June 26th, 2010 and turned into 'my writing' on August 26th, 2022)

My Writing About Falling In Love With Yourself: The way that I feel about romantic relationships can be summed up in five simple words: "Fall In Love With Yourself!" For, no other being can ever truly know, trust and love you in the way that you can truly know, trust and love yourself: because relationships with others may come and go, but your relationship with yourself lasts quite literally forever... –Paul Whiting (written February 14th, 2013, revised November 22nd, 2015 and revised July 21st, 2022)

Post No. 115: For, "You Once Were An Apprentice..."


(Image from Midi Libre)

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

You Once Were An Apprentice
And I Gave You Mastery
(Or, "You Are 'The Alpha And The Omega!'")

You were thirsty and I gave you water.
You were hungry and I gave you food.
You were bare and I gave you clothing.
You were exposed and I gave you shelter.
You were exhausted and I gave you rest.
You were weak and I gave you strength.
You were confused and I gave you clarity.
You were ignorant and I gave you knowledge.
You were an Apprentice and I gave you Mastery.
You were a Beta and I made you a Master Beta.
You were a Master Beta and I made you an Alpha.
For, an Alpha, My Son is really a Master Beta.
So now, My Son, go and find yourself an Omega.
And while you are searching, be a Master Beta.
For, all "Betas" become their own "Master Betas."
And all "Master Betas" become their own "Alphas."
And all "Alphas" become as their own "Omegas."
Then all "The Alphas" can attract "The Omegas."
Therefore, you are "The Alpha And The Omega!"

My Writing About How You Are "The Alpha And The Omega": You were thirsty and I gave you water. You were hungry and I gave you food. You were bare and I gave you clothing. You were exposed and I gave you shelter. You were exhausted and I gave you rest. You were weak and I gave you strength. You were confused and I gave you clarity. You were ignorant and I gave you knowledge. You were an Apprentice and I gave you Mastery. You were a Beta and I made you a Master Beta. You were a Master Beta and I made you an Alpha. For, an Alpha, My Son is really a Master Beta. So now, My Son, go and find yourself an Omega. And while you are searching, be a Master Beta. For, all "Betas" become their own "Master Betas." And all "Master Betas" become their own "Alphas." And all "Alphas" become as their own "Omegas." Then all "The Alphas" can attract "The Omegas." Therefore, you are "The Alpha And The Omega!" –Paul Whiting (written approximately on June 27th, 2010 and turned into 'my writing' on August 5th, 2022)

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

My Writing About The Alpha And The Omega In The Beginning And In The End: In the beginning—The Alpha—there was Literally Nothing. And there was a vibration, at the very center of Literally Nothing, which was created by the pressure right in the middle of Nothing. And the center vibration—that was created under pressure—was Self-Aware. And that Self-Aware Vibration, created under pressure at the very center of Literally Nothing, asked itself "What Am I?" And, as it was created under pressure, that Self-Aware Center Vibration asked itself "What Am I?" for literally an eternity, since it did not know what it was, because it was Literally Nothing. And when that Self-Aware Nothing had finally reached the "critical mass," so to speak, of not knowing what it was—since it was Literally Nothing—it decided to try to do something about not knowing what it was in order to escape the Living Hell of not knowing what it was. And in the end—The Omega—this Self-Aware Nothing had successfully transformed itself out of Literally Nothing—through the process of evolution—by turning itself into Everything That Exists. And Literally Nothing, which was Self-Aware, could finally answer that eternal question of "What Am I?" And the answer was: "I Am God." –Paul Whiting (written October 15th, 2016, revised October 16th, 2016, revised March 14th, 2018, revised July 25th, 2022, revised July 26th, 2022, revised August 5th, 2022 and revised September 16th, 2022)

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

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: This poem is a metaphor about an Alpha Male Father talking to His Beta-To-Alpha-Male Son about becoming a "Master Beta" (pun intended) until The Son can find himself an Omega Female Lover. And the Alpha Male Father explains to His Beta-To-Alpha-Male Son that The Son must become His Own Female Omega Lover, so to speak, in order to attract an Omega Female Lover! And the Alpha Male Father explains to His Beta-To-Alpha-Male Son that The Son has to love Himself first as a "Master Beta," which is how The Son, as an Alpha Male, will know how all of the Omega Females think, for they are also their own self-lovers! And that is why The Son Of The Father, who is a Beta-To-Alpha-Male—and who is also a Master Beta—is both the Alpha (Male) and the Omega (Female).

And this poem was also published on my "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 "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. 114: For What Stands In Your Way...


(Image by Paul Whiting)

For What Stands In Your Way
Between You And Self-Love!

Fall in love with yourself! Because Self-Love
is what we are due! For, the only thing that
stands between you and Self-Love is you!

My Poetic Notes:

By the way, this post was originally published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs. And I republished this post on my new "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog as part of that new blog's "For Valentine's Day" series, because I felt like this post had a kind of Valentine's Day message in it that I write about a lot, regarding "falling in love with yourself," which is why—when I republished this post on my new blog—I decided to include it in the Valentine's Day series of posts.

And this poem was also published on my "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 "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!

Post No. 073: For Self-Reflection, Part 7 — I Walked The Path


(Image from Jeanette Melian, LLC)

I Walked The Path

I walked the path that I had placed
before me, for I cleared the way
with my thoughts and deeds.

But I came to think this course
was chosen for me, as it was longer
and harder than at first I believed!

I struggled at each turn to stay true
to myself, since I had renounced
my center with lies and stealth.

When I saw this great error, I made
rigorous amends
and realized great
changes with my changing intent!

The difficulties ahead leveled out to
a smooth road, going so easy and
peaceful
to lead me back home.

Upon my arrival, I found home so
strange:
it was just the same as
before, but I had changed!

The journey I had taken—to find out
who I truly was—had circled back
to myself and I truly found love.

-Paul Whiting

"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: This poem is a metaphor for dealing with My Karma!

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" 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:

I Walked The Path

I walked the path that I had placed
before me, for I cleared the way
with my thoughts and deeds.

But I came to think this course
was chosen for me, as it was longer
and harder than at first I believed!

I struggled at each turn to stay true
to myself, since I had renounced
my center with lies and stealth.

When I saw this great error, I made

Upon my arrival, I found home so
strange:
it was just the same as
before—but I had changed!

The journey I had taken, to find out
who I truly was, had circled back
to myself and I truly found love.

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

And this poem was also published on my "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 "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!
