Post No. 089: For Self-Reflection, Part 5 — The Circle Is Complete

The Circle Is Complete

I am them and they are also me.
They are droplets of water
and I am the sea!

We are one—and yet we are apart.
I am the whole of me and
they are the parts!

I make a sound—they are its ring.
And together we sing songs
written by me!

We dance our dance so joyfully.
As we are one and many,
the circle is complete!

My Writing About The Fact That We Are Oceans Of Souls: We are oceans of individual souls that embody all things! –Paul Whiting (written January 24th, 2014 and revised August 30th, 2022)

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

My Writing About How God Is Like An Ocean And All Of Us Souls Are Like Droplets Of Water In That Ocean: Being God is like being an ocean and being an individual soul within God's Creation is like being a droplet of water in that ocean. So, each soul is very much like one droplet of water and God is like the ocean—which is a combination of a lot of water droplets. Thus, that is why many souls believe that they are, in fact, God since they are quite literally one droplet of water in God's Ocean; however, they are simply an individual portion of God's Creation as a droplet of water. Therefore, God is the entire ocean, because He is every droplet of water, and not simply an individual droplet, since He is all of the water droplets combined. –Paul Whiting (written January 26th, 2023 and revised May 21st, 2023)

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I am them and they are also me... As we are one and many, the circle is complete!"

And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" 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 "Small All White in the Forest." 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. 076: For My "Soul Children"

(Image from dreamcatcher)

"Soul Children, My Children"

Be assertive—Soul Children, My Children—
and know how much I truly love you.

Be risky—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that we will always be together.

Be willful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that nothing can separate us.

Be heartful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that I will always come for you.

Be expressive—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that is how we found each other.

Be thoughtful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know what my love for you holds.

Be peaceful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know I am lighting and you are thunder.

Be loving—Soul Children, My Children—
and know why I call you My Soul Children.

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Be loving—Soul Children, My Children—and know why I call you My Soul Children."

You see, the words above (assertive, risky, willful, heartful, expressive, thoughtful, peaceful and loving) are symbolic references to the Chakras—or the Energy Centers of the Human Body—which are represented by the colors red (assertive), orange (risky), yellow (willful), green (heartful), blue (expressive), purple (thoughtful), pink (peaceful), since there are seven Chakras! Plus they are represented in their totality by the color white (loving), which is a combination of all the colors.

And you will notice that the Chakras are, in fact, the colors of a rainbow, because they represent The Light Of God (which is a white light, literally like the light of the stars in the universe, including the sun of our solar system) divided into its individual aspects—in the same way that a rainbow is sunlight divided into the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink through the prism of rain water droplets.

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:

"Soul Children, My Children"

Be angry—Soul Children, My Children—
and know how much I truly love you.

Be lustful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that we will always be together.

Be willful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that nothing can separate us.

Be heartful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that I will always come for you.

Be vocal—Soul Children, My Children—
and know that is how we found each other.

Be thoughtful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know what my love for you holds.

Be peaceful—Soul Children, My Children—
and know I am lighting and you are thunder.

Be loving—Soul Children, My Children—
and know why I call you My Soul Children.

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

By the way, this poem is also a rewrite of a poem that I wrote for my former roommate Japheth (pronounced "jay-peth") that is titled, "Soul Brother," which is published on this blog. (Please see "Soul Brother-Style Poem" in labels for the poem.)

And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" 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 "Small All White in the Forest." 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. 023: What Stirs in Me, Part 3 — My Children From Inside Me

(Image from Wikipedia)

My Inner Darkness
Turned Into My
Outer Light
(Or, "My Children From Inside Me")

Intelligences well inside,
Nourished in my ebony soul.
Engorging me like moonless skies,
Grow my aesthetic embryos.

They consume the juices decidedly,
Provided by Mother Earth's womb.
Sister stars gather unabashedly,
To protect while they consume.

On thoughts deliciously learned,
They are raised in my midnight mind.
Brother Mountains are so concerned
That morning will strain their eyes.

They drink the well of hazel springs,
Getting nourished on all I know.
Cousin thunder would cease to sing,
Should summer bid them to go.

Their passion then ejaculates
And erupts my darkened psyche.
Like sunlight from the night escapes,
Come my children from inside me!

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: This poem conveys the way that feel about the Birth Of Creativity from inside of myself, which is "My Inner Darkness Turned Into My Outer Light."

Thus, the "aesthetic embryos" are my 'creative ideas,' or my 'creative children,' so to speak, that are inside of me, which are much like the "manly seeds" that are inside of all males. And when my creative darkness is feeling passionate, it erupts—just like a male ejaculates—as creative light, or as "My Creative Darkness Turned Into My Creative Light!"

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

This poem was written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
