A Universe is Scripted Like a Play
A Universe is scripted like a play in a theater—
and all of the souls are
the producers,
the playwrights,
the composers,
the orchestra,
the music,
the instruments,
the actors,
the costumes,
the makeup,
the props,
the theater,
the equipment,
the furnishings,
the stagehands,
the ticket sellers,
the ticket takers,
the owners,
the managers,
the other employees,
the audience,
and the critics too—all
taking part in the
production of life
by playing each
and every one
of the roles in
a scripted production.
Thus, each and every
one of the souls is
participating in a
scripted production
—which appears as if
it is happening
spontaneously,
but it is, in fact,
designed to appear
that way—as each and
every one of the souls
is playing each and
every one of the roles
in the theater called life,
which is known
as a Universe...

My Writing About How A Universe Is A Drama: A Universe is a Drama... A Universe is a Fable... A Universe is a Fiction... A Universe is a Myth... A Universe is a Parable... A Universe is a Tale...

My Writing About How Universes Are 'God's Fiction,' Which Is What Produces "The Gravity Of Universes": All Universes are literally fiction that has been written by "The Hand Of God." Then, that fiction is literally trial-and-error rehearsed by "The Soul Of God." Finally, that fiction is literally physically embodied by "The Body Of God." Thus, this entire process of writing, rehearsing and physically embodying 'God's Fiction' is what produces "The Gravity Of Universes." –Paul Whiting (written January 31st, 2023, revised May 21st, 2023 and revised May 23rd, 2023)

My Philosophical Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I am rereading the "Conversations with God" series of books [which I reread from just shortly after June 5th, 2016 to exactly September 12th, 2016]... And I was rereading "Home with God: In A Life That Never Ends" when I read the quotes below on pages 133 to 134, which inspired me to write the poem above:
"As you move down the Corridors of Time, you come to experience that Space/Time is vast. The 'Only Moment There Is' is called the Space/Time CONTINUUM precisely because this space/time reality continues to always be. You, as Pure Spirit, can move through this Singular Reality (sometimes called a Singularity) in endless cycles as you continue to experience your Self. You ARE this Singularity. You are the stuff of which it is made. The Pure Essence. The Energy. You are an individuation of this energy and this Essence. You are an 'Individuation of the Singularity.' The Singularity is what some of you call God. The Individuation is what some of you call You. You can split your Self up and move through the Singularity in many different directions. You call these varying movements through the Space/Time Continuum 'lifetimes.' These are the Cycles of the Self that reveal the Self TO the Self through the Cycling OF the Self THROUGH the Self.
"I am floored here. I've never had anyone explain it all to be like this before.
"Well, it's about Time.
"Oh, how that's cute. You're cute.
"Thank you.
"So now let me see if I can bring this all down to my individual Self, and get some perspective on all this. We human beings are the 'individuation of the singularity experiencing life sequentially simultaneously.
"That's it. You've got it exactly right.
"Are you kidding me? Did you hear what I just said? I just SAID... We are the individuation of the singularity experiencing life sequentially simultaneously.
"Yes, and I just said you've got it exactly right.
"Terrific. I'm in Wonderland here. I've just fallen down the rabbit hole."
And this poem was formerly published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs, but I decided to only publish "The 'Conversations with God' books-Inspired Posts" on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog, because these posts are more about philosophy and so is this blog.
Thus, this poem was only published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog.
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

"Conversations with God" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia—which is funded primarily through donations from millions of individuals around the world, including this blogger (I make a totally affordable monthly donation):
"Conversations with God (CwG) is a sequence of books written by Neale Donald Walsch. It was written as a dialogue in which Walsch asks questions and God answers. The first book of the Conversations with God series, Conversations with God, Book 1: An Uncommon Dialogue, was published in 1995 and became a publishing phenomenon, staying on the New York Times Best-Sellers List for 137 weeks. The succeeding volumes in the nine book series also appeared prominently on the List.
In an interview with Larry King, Walsch described the inception of the books as follows: at a low period in his life, Walsch wrote an angry letter to God asking questions about why his life wasn't working. After writing down all of his questions, he heard a voice over his right shoulder say: 'Do you really want an answer to all these questions or are you just venting?' Though when he turned around he saw no one there, Walsch felt answers to his questions filling his mind and decided to write them down. The ensuing dialogue became the Conversations with God books. When asked in a recent interview how does he 'open up' to God these days, Neale stated 'I am reaching out to touch others with this information. When I reach out and touch others with this information I reconnect immediately with the divine presence.'"
CwG's basic messages:
"In Friendship with God, Walsch writes that God presents four concepts which are central to the entire dialogue:
1. We are all one.
2. There's enough.
3. There's nothing we have to do.
4. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
Existence is essentially non dual in nature. At the highest level there is no separation between anything and there is only one of us; there is only God, and everything is God. The second statement, following from the first, means that we, in this seeming existence, lack nothing and if we choose to realize it, we have enough of whatever we think we need (or the means to create it) within us. The third statement combines the first two to conclude that God, being all there is and is thus always sufficient unto Itself, has no need of anything and therefore has no requirements of humanity. The final concept puts an end to our need to always be right. Given that we have and are everything, and there's nothing we have to do, there are an infinite number of ways to experience this, not just the one way we may have chosen so far..."
