Awakening to my own infinite nature and sharing it with ‘other' aspects of self – towards their own discoveries, journeys and awakening would perhaps best describe my current beingness. So yes I call myself a spiritual facilitator, but that’s just a term… a pointer perhaps to where words can’t go! And I find this … going beyond words… increasingly playing a role in my reaching out- and yet words are required to get us ‘there’! And thus I embrace both aspects as and when required- reaching out through ‘The Word’ (weekly discourses, occasional workshops, tarot classes and writing (various magazines, newspapers, mailing lists); and through ‘My Beingness/Energies’ (guided group meditation sessions and personal sessions which play out in eclectic ways).
From my heart to yours: it is not really about finding our divinity as much as it is about our divinity finding us …indeed engulfing us in its ongoing embrace! All you need to do is be open to the steps ‘you’ bring your way! Thus ‘spirituality’ and life need not be two separate compartments but a joyous whole pervading your very being and reflecting all around you: personal lives, environment and world!
And ah to those who ask me how did it all come to be...truly...it all just happened ..! And continues to! I cannot truly point out a beginning... and certainly there is no end. Thus I tend to reach out passionately and simply – so that it ‘happens’ naturally and with ease for you too! Indeed “automatic” is a favorite word amongst those I reach out to - in reference to how they enhanced life- and- sense of Godself.
My own journey, completely intuitive and spontaneously unraveling within ...incorporates both traditional ancient wisdom and the more contemporary 'new' age understanding.... and is a mix of Gyan, Bhakti, Kriya, Karma yoga…! And science…! And life beautiful life…!. The path has been pathless, leading to zen/karma yoga...simple life beautiful life being lived through a 'me'. Everything has changed and yet everything comes back to being the same ...I chop wood and carry water based on whatever the ‘wood’ and ‘water’ implies in 'my 'life. And thus I reach out through this eclectic blend…calling it simply: The Larger Picture! For that is all it truly is…! Or takes! Looking at self, life, the other and God through a larger (and larger) lens! Somewhere along this wondrous journey I 'met' Babbage....and became a vehicle for him to reach out in ways He deems best...be it through discourses, writing, simple guidance or energy work/meditation- a personalized form of Karina which Babbage does with groups through a 'me'.
My dream is to establish Dvyalok where each one may come and find their Upaguru…the guru within! Where each one can create a path tailor made to them! Where enlightenment is the means and the goal is Love, Joy and Fulfillment in the here and now! Where you divine light glows stronger by the day sparking of another’s and another’s… yet wholly open to receiving from another and another…each one unique and inviolate and yet merging into One…a Dvyalok indeed… heaven on earth! Consciousness reveling and exploring itself in myriad ways!
Dvyalok… enabling each step of the journey from personal consciousness to universal consciousness to beyond…none better or higher or lesser…

"Spirituality Guidance is the art of leading individuals to observe, collate and evaluate the facts. It frees the individual from judgment and allows your spirit to truly be free. By utilizing facts and not opinions, an individual can become one with the desires of their heart. The ultimate goal is to actualize these desires through prayer, meditation and service." ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our mission here is to provide you with as many tools and teachers as possible to not only discover your Oneness with the Divine, but to maintain an ongoing relationship with the Creator of the entire omniverse.
When you are consumed with hate that is all you experience; even from those who love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Progress
Each and every time you try to slow down, hinder or halt progress to manifest a selfish agenda in which you will benefit somehow, you are broadcasting a message to the omniverse that your needs are more important than anyone else’s. You are polarizing yourself with negative energies that will fold in on themselves and create the opposite of what you seek. You will be fooled into thinking that what you seek will be manifested if you hold your ground but, in fact, due to that resistance you are broadcasting, what manifests will be the same situation persisting until you ‘realize’ that it isn’t working. Take the Republican overly conservative members of Congress who repeatedly, day after day, say “No” to progress. They continually broadcast their negative responses and more and more every day people realize just how much they are lying, distracting their constituency from the facts and acting like bullies on a playground. Partisan restrictive cloture, filibusters and minority censure are not needed anymore. If 51% of the Congress says “Yes”, then it should become law. No more pussyfooting around to placate the minority viewpoint. We, the people who CARE about equality, deserve better. Call your representatives and demand campaign finance reform and the immediate removal of the tools of deadlock (partisan restrictive cloture, filibusters, censure) from our legislative bodies. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Should I Have?
Just when it is all said and done you remember something that you should have done before it was all said and done. The question remains: Should I have done it at all? Will it not come out OK because I didn’t do it? Or did I purposely forget it so that it would be all said and done? Whatever you might think about things in afterthought they were manifested as they should be and they cannot be changed because they are now academic. Don’t second guess your actions and behaviors because that is living in the past. What is done is done and you can only ‘reframe’ the past in your mind but not change what has been manifested. In the reframe you can see why things manifested as they did and learn from the experience instead of regretting the outcome of the experience. Be kind to yourself and don’t beat yourself up for what you did or didn’t do. Be here now and be thankful for how things unfold. Your future will be brighter when you do. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE FROM DIVYAA
Welcome aboard our motley caravan of fellow travelers!
It’s not our words that impact another
But their truth;
It’s not our knowledge that draws another
But its energy fields;
It’s not Divyaa who reaches out
But Consciousness;
It’s not you I touch
But That I Am.
And That I Am as Consciousness ..is in Love
And as 'Divyaa' this is My work
To be in Love with what hasn’t got a name
To hold the Love with all
To gaze with Its eyes into 'yours'
To permeate it drop by drop
And anchor 'us' in its hold
and laugh our way into
the one ...heart!
The best way to describe what I 'do'.. in the now ...would be to call myself a spiritual facilitator... a fellow traveler with those on the journey to Self! All that I express is intuitive...and rises somewhere within me...i am not well versed in the texts and rarely quote from any outside source! This is not something I chose to do...it somehow 'happened'... spontaneously a few years ago! My journey is there on fb as an article/interview by Star Teller magazine.
So yes I use words...to take us beyond words! Have created a very small centre called Dvyalok -to reach out through discourses, channeling, meditations, tarot classes (yes through its deeper spiritual wisdom), writings and personal sessions. Am on face book only to reach out spiritually.
My path has been pathless, spontaneously unraveling...gyan leading to bhakti ...bhakti for Self and its all encompassing reflections… and gyan/bhakti leading to kriya (energy expansion)... .leading to zen/karma yoga...simple life beautiful life being lived through a 'me'...the pathless paths zig zagging and not always in the linear manner as mentioned...everything has changed and yet everything comes back to being the same ...I chop wood and carry water based on whatever the ‘wood’ and ‘water’ implies in 'my 'life.
IN REF TO MY POSTINGS: My writings are from different points of the continuum-some writings focusing on one ‘end’ (mindlessness, effortlessness, silence etc) and some on how to get there! Thus seeming 'contradictions' co-exist-based on where we are viewing it from! But both the path/concepts and where they take you are equally valid to me! Indeed by going through- & not cutting short this path/concepts... the mindlessness/effortlessness/silence happens' spontaneously... and the ‘path /effort /mind / steps/concepts’ etc etc drop by themselves! So it’s like doing the tango- being aware we are in the now...and keeping the 'next stage or end/goal' (only using a word here pls -as I know there is no ‘end”) in ‘mind’ -towards it becoming our reality! If we can discern that each piece is written from a different point along the continuum, at different times of my own journey, we may better appreciate the piece as a facet and not as the whole of my expression!
I also do and teach TAROT and BACH FLOWER REMEDIES in their deeper avatar, bringing alive the many spiritual aspects that both these systems of guidance have inbuilt!
