CENTERED IN SPIRIT
Everything that exists is centered in spirit. It is the journey from viewing life as materialistic to viewing it as spiritual that the mind must take. It does this by identifying with the Divine love in one's inner heart.
Until this is done, opinion wins out over fact, illusion wins out over reality and ego wins out over spirit. There IS no battle; that is the illusion.
There is only the allowance of peace, understanding, joy and Divine love that is the secret to life’s mastery. Be ye therefore a master of life and not a slave to apparent circumstances! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WAR IS WAR
War is war whether it is declared by Congress or not.
The point of seeing our war waging mentality is obvious; war is what this country wages under false pretenses because it is a rallying call to patriotism and nationalism; when in actuality, it is big business generating more profit for its investors at the cost of human life.
Only when we all stop this childish bullshit will we grow up and live in peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

CASCADING CHOICES
When we all realize that the experience of suffering is the result of cascading choices that have ended up in a current state, we will come to know that we are powerful beings. It is by our choices that we end up where we are and it is by our choices that we either learn to open or close our hearts.
When we allow Divine love to flow from our inner hearts we are healing the world and when we don’t we are living in fear; in essence, we are not trusting in the Divine to guide our steps. The opposite of suffering is living in favor; coming to the realization that you are a child of the Most High and that you were created with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance.
We have been given a bounty in the omniverse through Divine grace and it is up to us to act on it. If we choose to suffer, the end result is infirmity, poverty, stagnation and lack and limitation. When you feel you are suffering, reach out to others and ask for help.
You will find that most people will help those who suffer when their need is real. May God bless all of you and forgive all of us for the choices we have made that go against the grain of Divine will. Be ye therefore making good choices! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
It is always good to be prepared for what 'might' happen; but when you expect it to happen by not knowing that you can prevent it from happening you are resisting the very thing that can maintain overall peace. Being acclimated to war is not allowing peace! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A MASTER
How do you become a master of your own life and your destiny? You allow Divine love to guide your life by living in health, wealth, prosperity and abundance each and every day! How do you do this?
You stop listening to the beliefs of your ego and listen to the truth of Divine will. Life is a process of growth and expansion; it is you who hinder that with your steadfastness to erroneous beliefs.
Dismiss that which doesn’t serve life and embrace that which does. Be ye therefore a master of your own destiny! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ANIMAL WELFARE
FOR ROBIN WILLIAMS
No matter who it is, we all need to talk to our loved ones about the sting of depression. We all need to help one another by learning the signs and being available to help when needed.
Depression is all of our problem and we all need to address it appropriately. Robin gave and gave and couldn't give anymore. May God bless his beautiful soul. We will miss you, dear one!
With tears of joy
I say goodbye
To someone who always made me laugh
I watched you from afar
And chuckled
At every apparent gaff
You were brilliant
You were sensitive
And always appeared full of joy
And now that you have left this world
You have left some of us
Annoyed
We will no longer be receiving
The intellect, the poignancy
And the humor
There will be speculations of your death
And probably
Many rumors
The only thing I will remember
When you met me
I was important to you
I wasn’t just some nobody
That you were paid
To amuse
You validated my existence
And performed for us all
With ease
Because deep within your heart
Your aim
Was to please
You walked among the luminaries
That many worship
And adore
And thank you dearest Robin
For giving me
Something more
The night you came and made me laugh
I never
Will forget
For in the scintillating moment
An angelic spirit
I had met
Now you are dancing and performing
With the angels
In the clouds
And undoubtedly loosening the strings
From all
Of their shrouds
Thank you for the love
That you had given
To us all
And when we hear “Nanu, Nanu”
We all will
Heed the call!
~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RIGHT BACK ATCHA
To all of those who have chosen to judge Robin Williams I will use his own words from the movie "Good Will Hunting"...
"You don't know about real loss because it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much." ~Sean Maguire, Good Will Hunting (1997)
I AM SO BLESSED
I am so blessed. I have a wonderful family; great friends; and most of all, Divine love in my heart. Every day I give of my heart to others and I am continually blessed.
As I go through my day I encounter people and smile from my heart. They are so happy to hear how much I am happy. God has given me an awareness of Divine love that blesses me every day.
I love my life and I love all of you. Thank you for allowing me to share with you every day. It is my honor and privilege to serve. Blessings to all of you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EXUDING PROSPERITY
Do you know that you exude prosperity? If you feel that you are too close to poverty you are accepting it as real.
Things don't happen to you; they happen FROM you! Remove any and all erroneous beliefs of lack and limitation and embrace the abundance of the omniverse.
External things are not your source! The abundance of Divine love IS! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GRAVITY SUCKS
We have all heard the joke that gravity sucks. Well, it seems to be the opposite from the latest hypotheses. Gravity blows? How? One new hypothesis speculates that gravity only occurs where there is excessive heat. In the cold soup of space there doesn’t appear to be too much gravity. Yet, in the stellar masses gravity is off the hook. Do ongoing thermonuclear reactions promulgate the construct of gravity? The evidence sure paints that picture. We are pulled to the center of the Earth due to our hot planetary core which generates a magnetic field and keeps our planet rotating. The delicate balance between centrifugal and centripetal forces keeps us from flying off into space. Whether gravity sucks or blows is a matter of perspective. What’s truly important is that heat is the predominant energy expression from living beings measured as black body radiation.
We ‘broadcast’ mostly heat into our environments. Is this the supposed ‘attractive’ force that we present simply because we project it into the omniverse? It could be in speculation; however, the ‘hotter’ we become is in direct proportion to how well we are aligned with our inner spirit. It is when we go against the grain that we create chaos and friction that generates lower frequency infra-red energy that is reflected back to us from the omniverse creating inner dissension. It is when we align ourselves with spirit that we move from the higher band of infra-red energy into the visible spectrum of actually ‘seeing’ what we desire in our hearts.
Energy changes form ad infinitum. It moves from lower frequencies to higher frequencies depending on how much it is concentrated into a single point or purpose. If it is not concentrated, it dissipates as a matter of course reflecting back our perceptions of lack, limitation and unfulfillment. What are you doing to concentrate you energy? Are you making the time each and every day to go within and center yourself on the Divine spirit? Are you making time to concentrate your thoughts and efforts in the direction of fulfilling your innermost dreams? Or are you simply just ‘blowing smoke’ and operating from low energy?
The next time you feel the effects of gravity remember that you determine just what frequency ranges of energies that you broadcast into your environment. Ultimately, it is up to you to broadcast that which you desire the most if you want it to manifest in your life. Be ye therefore HOT! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
STRUGGLE
Struggle is bullshit. It is fearing that which you already have because you believe it is necessary to gain something. Always be happy with what you have; it’s OK to not be happy with those who know not of what they have and try to tell others what that is when they don't have a clue! Those who think they know try to force their beliefs on others in order to validate their own beliefs. Perhaps when they realize this, they will begin to know the truth of existence.
Always simply state your inner and outer experiences and leave it up to others to decide their validity to them. It is not your job to convince others of what you believe; it IS your job to speak the truth as it has been revealed to you without filtering it through your belief system. Those who struggle are those who allow their ego’s beliefs to convince them of a reality that is personal and not shared.
Allow that which has given you life to meet your needs, entertain your wants, fulfill your desires and meet your expectations. You are here to create and NOT struggle! Choose to live from Divine love and you will actualize your Divine purpose in Divine order in accordance with Divine will. You will become all you were created to be when you let go of erroneous beliefs, live from Divine love and move from struggling to prosperity. Be ye therefore prosperous! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
In regard to the great cue card reader (Ronald Reagan): When qualification is based on popularity the result is vapidity at its peak! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. ~Robin Williams
It's time for us to take our world back; to love one another; to share with one another; to support one another. We are here for our mutual growth and expansion; not our mutual death and destruction. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When the enforcing of vagrancy laws are more important than people to have shelter our priorities are definitely screwed up. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Value is in the hearts of those who understand what it means to them. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE IF…
You believe that your all loving God hates ANYTHING!
You believe that the decisions that people make are their responsibility alone
You believe that you have picked yourself up by your own bootstraps
You believe that you alone are responsible for your success
You believe that others are there for your convenience only
You believe that you have the right to judge others for their behavior regarding themselves
You believe that acquisition of power, money and things are the be all and end all of life
You believe that somehow you are better than others
You believe that given the same set of circumstances that you would always do the right thing
You believe that what you sense is all there is
You believe that what you perceive is more correct than what others perceive
You believe that your beliefs are the right ones and that others’ beliefs don’t even count
You believe that the Divine has human qualities
You believe that what you believe is the most important thing in life
You believe that what is important to you is more important than what others believe is more important to them
When you wake up in the morning that you are too good to thank the Divine for your very life
Yes, you are an asshole. Why? Because you believe what your ego tells you is real by your limited senses and force that viewpoint on everyone else. Want to NOT be an asshole? Then give thanx for the blessings you already have and go out into the world and share your talents, skills and abilities with those who need them. Stop being selfish and you will stop being an ASSHOLE!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

MUTUAL UNDOING
When the beliefs of people become more important than the rights of all, we are headed down the path of self-destruction and to our mutual undoing.
The sharing of Divine love with every living being and the entire omniverse is more important than enforcing your beliefs on others.
Until you live in the way of Divine love your beliefs will cause your lack of fulfillment to predominate your existence.
The way of Divine love is encouraging; it is lifting up that which has fallen; it is sharing your talents, skills and abilities with others in Divine service.
Until you get out of your own prison of your ego you will not see what you need to do to be fulfilled. Give to others what you desire the most and you will be bathed with Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE FIRES OF
ERRONEOUS BELIEFS
When the fires of erroneous beliefs have burned out, the ashes of self-destruction reveal the truth of their meaning. It is up to you to convert those ashes into the building blocks of Divine knowing by allowing your inner well-being to flow Divine love from your inner heart into your outer world.
Take that which was once possible and use it as the raw materials to co-create the probabilities you desire in order to be fulfilled.
There never is anything lost in this omniverse; what we experience changes form and when we learn how to accept and allow that which is to be beneficial to all, we are living in a space where we can easily and effortlessly share Divine love. Be ye therefore a vessel of Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEING IN TUNE
What does it mean to be in tune with something? Does it mean that we understand what behavior it is revealing or does it mean that we understand its intent? It means that we affirm what we believe is happening, agree with its expression, conform with its corresponding vibration and match our thoughts to what we ‘believe’ it is expressing. We, as human beings, emit black body radiation mostly in the form of heat. We resonate, vibrate or oscillate at specific frequencies that are harmonious with our thought patterns and feelings about those thought patterns. We are, in many ways, like tuning forks.
“A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs (tines) formed from a U-shaped bar of elastic metal (usually steel). It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone after waiting a moment to allow some high overtones to die out. The pitch that a particular tuning fork generates depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. It is frequently used as a standard of pitch to tune musical instruments.
The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician John Shore. The main reason for using the fork shape is that, unlike many other types of resonators, it produces a very pure tone, with most of the vibrational energy at the fundamental frequency, and little at the overtones (harmonics). When the fork is struck, little of the energy goes into the overtone modes; they also die out correspondingly faster, leaving the fundamental. It is easier to tune other instruments with this pure tone.
Another reason for using the fork shape is that, when it vibrates in its principal mode, the handle vibrates up and down as the prongs move apart and together. There is a node (point of no vibration) at the base of each prong. The handle motion is small, allowing the fork to be held by the handle without damping the vibration, but it allows the handle to transmit the vibration to a resonator, which amplifies the sound of the fork.
The fork is usually struck, and then the handle is pressed against a wooden box resonator, or a table top. Without the resonator the sound is very faint. The reason for this is that the sound waves produced by each fork prong are 180° out of phase with the other, so at a distance from the fork they interfere and largely cancel each other out. If a sound absorbing sheet is slid in between the prongs of a vibrating fork, reducing the waves reaching the ear from one prong, the volume heard will actually increase, due to a reduction of this cancellation [Wikipedia.com].”
The pitch or wavelengths of the frequencies we emit come from our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors. As with the tuning fork, the length and mass of the two forks determines the frequency at which it vibrates. But what about our perception of the pitch being emitted? As with any sensory communication it requires a closed system of broadcast and reception. A radio transmitter produces vibrations that are created by the electrical induction that manifests oscillations of particular wavelengths. The radio receiver ‘tunes in’ to these frequencies and converts them into audible sound. The entire omniverse is much like the radio receiver. It picks up the frequencies we broadcast and ‘matches’ those frequencies to reflect them back to us.
If we have the intent that creates negative behaviors, then that energy is broadcast from us and reflected back to us in the form that we understand. Want to change what you have been receiving? Then change what you are broadcasting. Focus on your inner well-being and broadcast Divine love into your life each and every day. Stop resisting and fighting what you perceive is wrong with the world and your life and you will STOP having that reflected back to you! Start allowing peace, understanding, joy and Divine love to guide your life and THAT will be reflected back to you. As with the harmonics of the tuning fork, undertones and overtones (harmonics) of the fundamental frequency jump out at the beginning of when the fork is struck, but quickly die out in favor of the fundamental frequency.
Also, the tuning fork has a node at its base; this is much like the time you need to take to meditate and be still each day to listen to your inner silence. By cancelling out the external chatter and noise you learn how to focus on what’s truly important. Focusing on the end result of your fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order is like inserting the ‘sound absorbing sheet’ into the tuning fork. It ‘amplifies’ what you hear because you are ‘feeling’ the joy of co-creating exactly what you were designed to create! Being in tune means allowing your inner well-being to flow unfettered by your erroneous beliefs. It means that you let go of that which appears to be true in favor of that which IS true. Be ye therefore in tune! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SPLITTING HAIRS
Are you splitting hairs? Are you arguing semantics when the root of the problem is a lack of understanding due to the adherence of erroneous beliefs over the truth?
When you close off ALL avenues of truth awareness then you are more motivated by fulfilling your own personal agenda than you are at seeking the truth. If you can’t see that, then you are blinded by your erroneous beliefs in order to fulfill your ‘twisted’ agenda.
You demonstrate this by accusing others of being motivated by beliefs even if they are motivated by the truth of Divine knowing. Be ye therefore open to the reality of the truth more than your ego’s yearnings to impose your erroneous beliefs on others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DISTRACTED
While you were fighting over what you have observed and what you believe about what you have observed you were being distracted from fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order.
You are an extension of the Divine love that is continually unfolding creativity into the omniverse. When you get hung up on the how you are not concentrating on the what.
Use your imagination to feel the why of who you are and when you are to express it where. Answer the questions intelligently and not emotionally and you will cut through the veil of limited thinking and enter the realm of spiritual knowing.
Be ye therefore aware! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

JEFF BELYEA
It has been a quite a ride here on FB for the past seven years. Getting up every morning, grabbing a cup o’ joe and reading a note from my dear brother in spirit, Jeff Belyea. I was introduced to Jeff’s writings years ago by Bobby Hinkle, another dynamic spiritual writer here on FB. It got to be an early morning addiction that lifted me out of the ego’s demands and into the allowance of the spirit. Jeff had a way of making you chuckle when he presented spiritual principles that were the core of your awakening.
He would muse about his own addiction to Blueberry Cobbler coffee and his own apparent struggle with saying the one thing that would turn on the light bulb above our heads. Jeff dearly loved his wife and family and all of us. Between every line that he wrote you could feel his genuine caring and loving. His soft spoken demeanor came from many years of going within and listening to Divine guidance. His words each and every day were like a beacon of light that grabbed you after the joe kicked in.
This morning I got up and knew that there would be no more notes from Jeff musing about the distractions of life and how important it is to meditate. I had my cup o’ joe and it didn’t taste as good as it usually does. I sat for awhile at my keyboard and for the first time in seven years I was speechless. The only thing I know is that we all need to thankful for one another and let each other know that frequently. I will not forget the theme of Jeff’s last note:
“I didn't sign for
These new eyes
In a blinding light
A Divine Embrace
Comforted me
Beyond belief
A whole new view
Came into focus
It was there all along
In the misty haze
Behind the veil
Like you are now
Afraid to venture
Outside the lines
Maybe one day
The unseen muse
An animated mystic
By gentle strokes
Will paint you home
Accomplish what
Words cannot”
~Jeff Belyea

PAINTED YOUR
WAY HOME
As you painted for us a picture of peace, understanding, joy and Divine love every day you also ‘painted your way home’. Your theme of ‘accomplishing what, words cannot’ will be in my heart forever.
Thank you, dear brother, for the joy you gave all of us. I believe it is now time for me to take a hiatus from this social zoo where all the animals play and smell the flowers.
As I see the colors of nature on the stems of support I will remember your paintings and how their brushstrokes brought the ambiguity of life into focus.
Thank you for the legacy of spirituality and joy you have left all of us. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LOVE IS TIMELESS
Loving without end means that your love is timeless! It is in the moment, which is eternity. It means that you feel the presence of Divine love within all of existence; respect it for being there; share Divine love with it all; and co-create beauty by sharing it.
There is NOTHING selfish in the sharing. It is in the ACT of love that you become whom and what you were created to be; Divine love everlasting!
Be ye therefore full of life by participating in it in the act of sharing Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
MISSING THE POINT
As long as you live your life doing things to attract attention back to you, you will be missing the entire point of your life. When you focus on what you earn instead of learn, what you believe instead of know and what good you have done instead of what joy you have brought to others, you will always be searching for happiness in things instead of the joy of bringing happiness to others.
You are here to share what you have been freely given by living in faith; trusting in divinity; and giving credit where credit is due. Always start your day in gratitude and thankfulness to the Divine for blessing you with life. Expect to live in the Divine blessings of health, wealth, prosperity and abundance.
Don’t just survive in hopes of thriving someday on what you ‘earn’. Strive to live in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love and all of your dreams will be made manifest in the way they are supposed to be. You have been given divine gifts for you to share those gifts with others.
Stop directing attention to your ego self for all of the good that you apparently do. Direct the attention to the Divine by counting your blessings and sharing Divine love. Be ye therefore divinity in action! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SINNERS?
Those who condemn others as sinners are not of God; they are of their selfish ego trying to elevate themselves by their own supposed righteousness.
'Sin' is what goes against the natural in favor of what the ego decides is best for its own self-survival. You can only get bitten by vipers when you step into the pit with them.
Walk around the pit of despair and live in Divine love by respecting all living creatures who have a right to life as you do. Be ye therefore a steward of life and not a raper of innocence. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

LOVE WHERE
YOU ARE NOW
Until you love where you are now you will not be able to move toward where you want to be. Acceptance is the precursor to allowance. Find peace where you are. Understand that it is where you need to be to move forward. Feel the joy of acceptance and allow Divine love to fill your heart.
If you reject where you are too much you will begin to resist it and create more chaos and unrest as a result. You will question incessantly why you are where you are; not understanding that it was you that brought you there. You will not feel joy about where you are and you will probably choose to feel sorry for yourself.
You will blame events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behavior of others for what is happening to you. Travel the emotional journey from acceptance to allowance to love instead of from rejection to resistance to animosity.
Love where you are right now and be the perfect beautiful co-creator you were created to be. Be ye therefore PERFECT! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LEVELS OF DISTRACTION
After watching an old episode of Law & Order last night, I thought about a line that S. Epatha Merkerson said; “There are only two kinds of women; those who get breast cancer and those who live in fear of getting it.” WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! What about the third type? Those who trust in God to keep them healthy? S. Epatha, even though she was reading a line, is an Atheist who doesn’t ‘believe’ in God. That’s OK; however, not believing in God does NOT negate not knowing God. When you live your life not knowing that there is a God it is YOU who are isolating yourself from that which has given you health initially! You have CHOSEN to NOT know over choosing to KNOW!
If you live your life believing that everything you sense is reality you will eventually become ‘distracted’ by events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behavior of others to the point that doubt grows in your mindset. What does this do? It begins to sever your mind-heart connection and elevates your ego to Godhood. When doubt has taken the reins then worry sets in. You begin to worry about what might happen that threatens your self-survival. You begin to see demons or negativity as your only result and that there is NOTHING you can do to stop it. You have, in effect, become immersed in that which goes AGAINST life. Ultimately, these choices lead to fear and that is the ultimate distraction from the truth.
Those who cannot feel the Divine within are those who have chosen the pathway of distraction and have, in effect, severed their mind-heart connection. They cannot and will not feel what is possible in a positive direction because they have convinced themselves that they are on their own and they cannot do anything about it. Faith is the starting point of bringing possibilities into probabilities. Trust in the Divine is where you let go of the distractions of doubt, worry and fear and ALLOW health, wealth, prosperity and abundance to move their possibilities into probabilities.
In order to develop faith and trust one must not sever the mind-heart connection but nurture it. This is done by stepping out of oneself and sharing your talents, skills and abilities with others in Divine service. It is not limiting your choices from being a victim to fearing that you will be a victim. It is creating the new choice that is trusting in the Divine and letting go of how things will manifest in your life. When you limit your choices you are living in doubt, worry and fear. Choose faith, trust and fulfillment by living in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love. You are NOT alone unless you believe you are! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

While you were busy defending your beliefs your allowance of Divine love was escaping you. Anytime you choose beliefs over Divine knowing you are NOT living in Divine love.
Beliefs are what your ego uses to secure its own self-survival. Divine knowing is what the Spirit of God gives you when trust in the Divine completely. Don’t sell yourself short of being that which your were created to be.
Discharge any and all erroneous beliefs that don’t support the growth and expansion of all of life. Live from your center of Divine love and be Divine love in action. You are blessed! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEFS AS FACTS
When you accuse others of espousing their beliefs as fact, logic and truth, you better have your ducks in a row before you pursue an effective argument. Every person has their own version of the truth based on what they observe, perceive and believe.
Whether it comes from science or religion, beliefs are that which are repeated thoughts that you accept as true until you are convinced of their validity. However, validity requires testing those beliefs to see if they are truths! You might see them as true while others might see them as erroneous or unsubstantiated.
This is where Divine knowing comes in; you go within and ‘feel’ the truth despite possible contradictory facts ‘appearing’ as truth. When you base your truth on what you sense only you are limiting all of the information necessary to validate the truth. See beyond your senses and come to know that which is within and that which appears without.
Be ye therefore observant! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE EXTENSION
OF GOD IN THIS WORLD
When you live in a box and base what you observe, perceive and conceive on what the reflection in that box reveals, you are limiting your scope and stifling your imagination.
See beyond what the box reflects and know that there are things beyond your scope of reason. If you believe that all of what you sense is all there is, then that is all you will ever be.
You are a reflection of what you believe and a projection of what you know. Be ye therefore knowing more than believing! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEYOND YOUR SENSES
You are beyond what you sense you are, what you perceive you are and what you believe you are. If you can’t see that, then I suggest you spend more time going within and coming to know you Oneness with the omniverse.
Divine love is expressed through you and when you allow beliefs, thinking processes and reactive feelings to filter it out it is you that accepted a bill of goods. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it simply changes form from photons to matter and back.
You have been blessed with a consciousness that allows you to ‘feel’ Divine love in your heart. If you choose not to feel it, it is your right but you will pay the price in your life. Remember, your opinion of life ain’t all that; even though your divine presence is.
Focus on that which edifies life and not on that which takes it away. Be ye therefore aware! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

LIVING IN A BOX
As long as you choose to live your life in a box defined by your senses you will not see beyond your apparent reality. Imagination is the tool to see outside of the box and logic is the tool to define a plan of getting out of the box.
Facts are events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behavior that you and others demonstrate in the environment. They are the result of actions moving in a direction determined by physical laws and individual intent.
Truth is the analysis of the result of those actions demonstrating themselves as behaviors. Opinion is the skew of sentient beings analyzing the facts and determining their validity. If you base your opinions on information and data that are limited, then how can you honestly say that you know ALL the facts?
Be responsible and mature enough to get out of the box and interact with all of life; that which you sense and that which you imagine. Until you do, you will continue to live in the box and miss out on the beauty of life. Be ye therefore breaking free! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. |

A LITTLE BIT OF
KNOWLEDGE...
A little bit of knowledge is dangerous; that’s why those who ‘believe’ in science without understanding the driving principle of parsimony through the hypothetico-deductive method become cheerleaders without substance.
Form and procedure without content and substance lead to misunderstandings based on a little knowledge. If you truly believe in the inference and experimental proofs of science you NEVER limit what you observe by what you sense. You keep an open mind to see the results from things both visible and hidden.
We are here on FB because of something that we cannot sense directly. We see the results of hidden forces and infer where they came from based on their behaviors. Magnetism is not directly sensed yet we use its effects to create our technological world.
Just because we cannot see it directly does NOT mean that it is not there and that we cannot harness its properties. Keep your mind open to the possibilities surrounding you despite what others who cannot see beyond their own nose claim is real. They are the ones being fooled by their own choices.
Be ye therefore observant and open-minded! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALL THAT MATTERS
You can argue politics, science and religion until you are blue in the face. It won't matter. Living from Divine love is all that matters.
When you do, you know your Divine purpose and you live it in Divine order. Not doing this is an excuse to live in mediocrity following the erroneous beliefs of your ego.
Want to live in Divine will? Stop arguing and start sharing. Be ye therefore a beacon of divine light and a person who shares their heart openly and freely. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
People want to keep their illusions because they are afraid of the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
God is beyond what is written in the Bible. If you base God on what's in there then you are correct. However, that is a LIMITED view at best. The Divine has given life to all and it is we who bastardize that life and NOT God. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Don't try to do anything. Be the perfect creation you already are! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The hardest thing for anyone to do is remove their head from their ass. If you ‘believe’ that which you sense is the only reality, your problem is obvious! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you get off on the right foot does that mean that you get on with the left one? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Truth is relative. And you know how we all feel about relatives! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem” might strike someone who is not suicidal as a clever statement, and it might be a helpful thing to hear from the point of view of someone who already believes that his or her problem is temporary. But the audience for this anti-suicide ditty is, of course, people who are suicidal. From the point of view of someone who is earnestly considering killing himself or herself, the pain from which suicide would provide escape is not temporary." ~Franklin Cook
“The common purpose of suicide is to seek a solution.” So emphasizing to a suicidal person that suicide is a permananet solution is as likely to be unhelpful — or even harmful or dangerous — as it is to be helpful. Psychache is intolerable emotion, unbearable pain, unacceptable anguish … [that] cannot be abated by means that were previously successful.” ~Edwin Shneidman
Sin is the invention of religion to instill enough fear in order to demand and ensure righteous behaviors. And while you weren't looking church leaders and crooked politicians were fleecing your pockets. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SIN: Selling Indisputable Negativity. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ANIMAL WELFARE
DENYING DIVINITY
Buying into sin is denying your own divinity. Christ taught us to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect; not to accept that we are faulty and sinners.
The Christian dogma of sin was established AFTER the death of Yeshua in order to maintain control, domination and manipulation over believers.
Wake up and smell the inner spirit and the Divine love it gives you every day that you accept your inner divinity.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father, which IS in Heaven is perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NOT PERFECT?
I have seen literally hundreds of placards on FB stating, “I’m not perfect.” What a declaration! What a mantra! What a way to proclaim something without even knowing the standards of the proclamation!
The fact is that we ARE perfect just as we are. We were created with talents, skills and abilities to be SHARED with others and until we do this we will feel that we are imperfect. How do we diss these feelings of imperfection?
By being grateful for life and thanking the Divine each and every day for the blessings we have received. The truth is that we ARE perfect when we ARE thankful! Be ye therefore thankful!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE RULES OF LOGIC
How can you truly experience freedom? How can you release imposed guilt from all of the teachings you have assimilated? Will you ever be free enough in your mind and heart to understand true peace, understanding, joy and Divine love? It turns out that you can.
When you discharge erroneous beliefs you have adopted from religion, science and politics you are in essences saying, “Stop!” It is at this point that you can continue your inner journey to Oneness where you know your Divine purpose is unfolding in Divine order by sharing Divine love and allowing Divine will.
Stay on course on stop listening to what sheepherders, fishermen, clergy and murderers have decided that you should know by writing their bullshit down to influence your life NOW. Be here NOW by letting go of ANYTHING that separates you from Divine love. Be ye therefore loving and NOT erroneous! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SELFISH AND FEARFUL
When you believe that your power over life and death is more important than everyone else’s right to safety and life you are being selfish and fearful.
Divine trust trumps all fear when you allow Divine love to flow through you and beautify your world. When you argue to live in fear you will be visited by it because you have chosen to believe in it.
Break the cycle of fear and choose to live in Divine love. Until you do, you will be allowing fear to control your life. Be ye therefore trusting and not fearful. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ORGANIZING THE TRUTH
Stop! Doing what you shouldn’t be doing, don’t need to be doing and don’t have to do! Look! Go within and feel Divine love guiding you to who you should be interacting with, what you should be doing, where you should be doing it, how you should do it, when it should be done and why you should be proceeding on this path. Listen!
Enter your inner silence and experience inner stillness. From the power of Divine love you experience the presence of the Divine. From the presence of your inner divinity you experience Divine knowledge. From Divine knowledge you express Divine creativity.
Give birth to that which edifies all instead of what diminishes the real you. Stop, look and listen. Be aware of your inner truth and share it with all every day. Be ye therefore attentive! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
YOU ARE POWERFUL
Do you truly know just how powerful you are? Do you realize that one thought that you think over and over again and feel that it is true becomes a belief buried in your subconscious mind that filters all of your experience? Do you know that you can alter that self-accepted programming and discharge erroneous beliefs that aren’t working for you?
When you use your inner power of Divine love to shine the light on the dark erroneous beliefs you have accepted as true they are exposed for what they are; distractions from you fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. Erroneous beliefs force you to choose the easy way out by dismissing anything that requires active participation in growing and expanding.
It is accepting mediocrity and non-interaction as a method of dealing with what you are too lazy to do, what you feel is too much work or what you believe someone else wants you to do instead of what you want to do. Stop playing games with yourself and choose to DO what is needed for you to grow and expand.
Challenge yourself to go beyond what is required and put your all into moving ahead. Otherwise, you are just making excuses to remain where you are because it appears to be comfortable, safe and secure. Be ye therefore bold and adventurous! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FIND THAT WHICH IS REAL
Look within and find that which is real. Stop looking outside for that which can only be found within.
When you take the wrong road you suffer; when you take the right one you prosper. Why keep travelling through life disappointed, frustrated and angry?
Your path is a result of your choices. Why not make the right choices and enjoy the perceived journey by being here now? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LOST IN THOUGHT
This song was from an album I produced in 1992 for the Artist Steve Miceli. Steve is on guitar, Eric Ger is on bass and drum programming and I am on keyboards (strings), Lost In Thought is about being in deep thought about the problems and joys of life. Enjoy! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GOING OUTSIDE
Science has clearly shown that observing experiments alters our perceptions of them.
“The standard interpretations of quantum mechanics, nevertheless, explain the "duality paradox" as a fundamental property of the universe; and some other alternative interpretations explain the duality as an emergent, second-order consequence of various LIMITATIONS of the observer” [Wikipedia.com].
Gödel'S theorum clearly states that you cannot completely prove scientific principles within its own system of observation. In order to prove anything you must go OUTSIDE of the system!
“Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an "effective procedure" (e.g., a computer program, but it could be any sort of algorithm) is capable of proving all truths about the relations of the natural numbers (arithmetic). For any such system, there will always be statements about the natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system. The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency” [Wikipedia.com].
Some people's assessment of science and the hypothetico-deductive method is NOT compatible with its heart of parsimony. Reducing observations to the simplest explanations is different in the macro-universe from quantum mechanics.
Why? Because we are observing and experimenting WITHIN the system and it takes imagination and intuition to go OUT of the system to hypothesize and theorize about scientific inferences and conclusions.
Until you make the time to learn about scientific truth I will no longer continue to argue with you. Only until you open your eyes to what is beyond the observable your argument to me is moot. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DEMANDING TO BE HEARD
If you repeatedly choose to argue for that which you believe is the truth when logic, reason and pure mathematics reveal the flaws in your argument, it is your ego that is demanding to be heard for its own beliefs. Always keep an open mind to the truth by understanding that what you observe comes through your limited senses and you are NOT seeing the entire picture. Furthermore, your brain perceives your sensory input as ‘electromagnetic copies’ of your observations and NOT the objects themselves.
When you repeat a similar thought that you accept as true enough, it gets programmed into your subconscious mind for reactive purposes and into your conscious mind for pro-active purposes. Science IS a belief system that is based on the cold hard observation of experimentation but still involves individual perception in order to measure its results. It takes the mind to infer what is happening and the spirit to KNOW what is happening. There is a difference.
When logic has already proven that you cannot completely measure and understand your observations and perceptions when you are contained in a ‘system’ of perceived dualistic reality, the only tool you have left is to use your imagination and intuition to EXTEND your limited perceptions of the ‘outer world’ in order to understand just why it functions the way it does. To deny that is NOT being scientific; it is being foolish. Science is parsimonious and focused on the observance of facts.
When scientific unfolding reveals consistent and parallel patterns in nature, to assume that these patterns have no connection is ludicrous at best. Be truthful in KNOWING and not egotistical with your BELIEVING. You have to do this if you want to live in truth and NOT supposition. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
