AFRAID TO SHARE?
Are you always afraid to share? Are you being too selfish based on what you perceive others are doing? Have you given up on the good in others? Is your mantra, “Whenever I give of myself to others, they turn around and spit in my face?”
When you expect the worst to happen it inevitably will; and vice versa. Often, it is your honest discernment of the motivation behind the ‘facts’ that reveals a person’s true intent.
Be a reader of people by examining thoroughly the fruits that they bear before you give from your heart. Be aware more than guarded and be smart more than stupid. Traversing a rocky trail always fares better when you wear the right shoes. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MONEY FLOWING
When it comes to finances, are you always saying “Money continuously flows to me; I am in a sea of abundance; except I’m standing upstream?” Or are you always saying, “Money flows downstream all of the time while I’m upstream saying, ”Why me?”
If you declare a positive statement and follow it up with a negative you will always undo the growth of the seed you just planted. Your thoughts, feelings and words declare your reality and when they are consistently repeated they become your beliefs.
Don’t undo the joy of creating blessings in your life by feeling sorry for yourself when things don’t turn out the way you ‘believe’ they should.
Greater things are awaiting when you stop insisting on ‘how’ things will manifest in your life and trust in the Divine to manifest them perfectly. Be ye therefore downstream when the flow comes your way! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

A STATE OF BEING
“Why should I do something today that benefits everyone when I can do nothing and feel good about being lazy?” If that’s what you say every day, your problem is obvious.
You are entrenched in a sense of self that is predicated by your own comfort over helping others. You are despicable, heartless and selfish.
Why not say, “Every day I will do something that benefits everyone and I will feel good that I contributed to life?” Now that’s the way to stop being lazy and move in a positive direction! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THINGS NOT TO SAY!
Why is it when opportunity knocks I’m always in the shower?
I look at all the wonders that are before me, just out of my reach and I think, “Why does everyone else get what they want and I don’t?”
When I am wrong, I immediately blame it on other people.
I deserve abundance; but I’ll never get it.
I deserve success; but that’s never gonna happen.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Facts:
The majority of the scientific community concludes from the available data the climate change is being fueled by global warming due to an increased carbon footprint from the consistent burning of petroleum from the past century.
The increased chemical emissions created by humankind have contributed to the breakdown of the ozone layer in our upper atmosphere allowing more ultraviolet and cosmic rays to enter and affect the ‘normal’ cycle of life.
The increase in temperature has caused the ice to melt in the Antarctic possibly raising sea levels by 10 -13 feet in a couple of centuries.
As a result, the jet stream has radically changed causing longer and colder winters as well as hotter and dryer summers. Super wet springs cause an increase in mosquito populations that increase disease transmissions to humans and animals. Dryer and hotter conditions create more susceptibility to rampant wildfires.
Solar energy is readily available and tapping this resource reduces our carbon footprint and is moving in the right direction. Building the Keystone Pipeline increases the risk of environmental disasters from the spilling of dirty tar sands oil and increases the carbon footprint; it is moving in the wrong direction.
Genetically modified organisms deter the cross pollination by bees, reducing the bee population and affecting the biosphere negatively through the interference of humankind.
Opinion:
Now, you can dispute these ‘facts’ all you want. You can question the data; you can question the analysis of the data; you can question the people analyzing the data; and you can question the motivations of the people analyzing the data all you want. However, while you are doing this to manifest your fairytale agenda of denial, our environment is being adversely affected.
Do you care about your children and grandchildren? Do you care that the decisions you make now can affect their quality of life and your descendents? Do you care enough to get off of your ever-widening ass and do the research yourself instead of parroting Faux News?
If you don’t, you are revealing just how selfish you really are. Don’t preach to me about your theory of data ‘fudging’ just because you ‘feel’ that you don’t want the facts to be what they are. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining. Take your self-serving theories and place them where the sun don’t shine, pal.
While you’re wasting your time ‘fighting’ and ‘resisting’ the facts and their repercussions the situation is growing worse. Be a part of the solution and NOT a part of the problem. Stop using website agendas to ‘prove’ what you say is true. For every one set of facts there are hundreds of ‘deniers’ that are decrying those facts.
Ignorance is bliss and reality is tough sometimes; unless you deal with the facts ‘as they are’ and not how you ‘want them to be’. Grow the fuck up and be responsible for our environment and accountable for the lives of your descendents. If you don’t, you are NOT living in Divine love; you are living in blind ego! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ANIMAL WELFARE
STRIPPING DOWN
Only when we completely strip ourselves of erroneous beliefs will we be able to experience the simplicity, congruity and flexibility of Divine love. Religious and atheistic beliefs allow us to identify choices that others have made in ingesting ‘good’ or ‘bad’ fruit. Scientific and agnostic beliefs allow us to identify choices made in the evaluation of environmental experimentation that has determined the perception of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ fruit.
Beliefs are nothing more than repeated thoughts that we accept as true. When we base our lives on ‘beliefs’ we are not acknowledging the possibility that some of them are erroneous and affect the unfolding of our Divine purposes in Divine order. Divine love is at the very core of our being.
Just as we eat the fruit to gain nutritional sustenance and throw away the rind which is inedible, we sometimes toss out the baby with the bathwater. Within the rind are the seeds (baby) of regeneration which, when ingested by the earth, germinate and grow into the trees that again bear more fruit. It is in our choices of ‘recognition’ that we come to know what works and what doesn’t. Probabilities only occur when possibilities are recognized as fruit.
If we don’t see any value in something then we will ignore its possibilities. Ignore the possibilities, then you’ll minimize the probabilities. Focus on reality without any pre-conceived notions and you will be allowing the truth to become manifest in your life. Let go of erroneous beliefs and embrace your inner divinity. God is within you right now bathing you with truth, beauty and Divine love everlasting.
It is in your choices that you do not experience that which you already have. Go within by clearing your mind and opening your heart to Divine love. Your Divine purpose will unfold in Divine order with each and every breath of Divine truth that comes from living in Divine love. Be ye therefore divine! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ANIMAL WELFARE
NOT VALID
When you refuse to accept the possibility that the truths in which you believe are not valid, you have sealed your fate. Beliefs are repeated thoughts that you accept as true with minimal validity. If it is at all possible that some of your beliefs are not valid, then it is highly probable that you will experience challenges to test the validity of those beliefs.
Refusing to accept the possibility means that you have a vested interest in the outcome; it means that you have stake in the game. Truth cannot be blinded by agenda for if it is, it is NOT valid. Seeing beyond what we believe is allowing the possibility that what we believe is true and NOT valid. Validity requires repetition of similar occurrences just like belief requires repetition of thoughts that we ‘accept’ as true. When you deny the possibility of your beliefs not being valid you have increased the probability that they aren’t.
Why? Because that which does not stand up to consistent challenges is not valid. Your individual truth is predicated on what you know is within you more than what you believe is without you. When you deny your inner wisdom you are denying your very existence as a being of light; energy and matter functioning as a living being. Go within to know who you truly are and stop living from what you believe you are.
You will come to know your Divine purpose as it unfolds in Divine order. You be at the point of intelligence to always question what you believe and trust what you truly know. Be ye therefore open to the possibilities that your beliefs are not always valid. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
It is often the motivation behind the 'facts' that reveals the true intent.~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When profit motive outweighs our survival, we are serving the beast and not the beast serving us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When we are truly one with God, nothing else matters! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Intelligence dictates that when you don't vote, you are in essence, voting against that which you stand for and allowing that which you don't believe in to proliferate. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The only defense ignorance has in justifying itself is to make intelligence appear to be even more ignorant than ignorance. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The 'system' drugged my two younger children throughout their school years. The Family Court took my children away from me because I REFUSED to drug them. When the State backs the play of medical/pharmaceutical complex against the rights of the children and parents to NOT medicate, we have a serious problem! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT MATTERS
If we are truly doing what we know we need to do to be the best that we can be, does anything else matter more than that? If so, then why are you distracted repeatedly throughout the day from fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order?
Nothing else is more important than sharing Divine love through your talents, skills and abilities that have come from God. When you realize this and practice it, is when you will live in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love manifesting health, wealth, prosperity and abundance.
Argue that one and you will be defending your infirmities, living from your ego and being more selfish than caring. Be ye therefore focused! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

LEVELS OF SELF
Are you selfish or selfless? Selfishness is characterized by being devoted to oneself and your interests, benefits and welfare regardless of others. It is being so self-absorbed that your pleasure is more important than anyone else’s pleasure. Selflessness is characterized by having little or no concern for oneself when it comes to being recognized for your accomplishments. It is putting the needs and the welfare of the many over the needs of the few; especially yourself. There are levels of self that allow us to choose whether we are selfish or selfless. It is when we experience these levels and emotionally react or intellectually proact that we choose to either be selfish or selfless.
Level One: Differentiation
As we grow and develop into a sense of whom and what we are we first ‘differentiate’ between our sense of self and our sense of others. If we choose to be selfish, we are accepting the belief that we are different from everyone else and that we deserve better because we are different. If we choose to be selfless, we are accepting the belief that we are different from everyone else and that we deserve the same divine blessings as others because we all have the Divine within.
Level Two: Situation
After we differentiate whom and what we are, we either choose to be reactive to our perception of circumstances arising from situations that unfold outside of ourselves. If we choose to be selfish, we are accepting the belief that we are separate from our environment and that we are independent from situations that occur; we are not responsible or accountable for any situations that occur. If we choose to be selfless, we are accepting the belief that we are integrated with our environment and that we are interdependent with others; as well as being responsible and accountable for situations that occur outside of ourselves.
Level Three: Identification
After we either react to or proact from perceived situations in our environment, we begin to identify with whom and what we believe we truly are. We either choose to identify with whom and what we feel we are within or whom and what others ‘believe’ we are. If we choose to be selfish, we are identifying with our bodies and minds more than our spirit within. If we choose to be selfless, we are identifying with our inner spirit more than our bodies and minds.
Level Four: Permanence
After we identify with our perceptions of whom and what we are, we seek to establish a sense of permanence to our existence that is long lasting and never changing. If we choose to be selfish, we believe that our egos are who we are and commit every action in our lives to self-survival. If we choose to be selfless, we believe that the Spirit of God is within us and we commit every action in our lives to sharing our talents, skills and abilities in the service of Divine love to others.
Level Five: Self-Consciousness
After we establish a view of permanence of whom and what we are, we become conscious of how others perceive us and how we present ourselves to others in our environment; we become self conscious of not only whom and what we are, but how our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors are perceived by others. If we choose to be selfish, we become self-conscious of what others think and say about us more than what we know that we are inside. We are driven solely by our belief systems more than Divine knowing. If we choose to be selfless, we become self conscious of our Divine love within to actualize our Divine purposes in Divine order. We are driven more by knowing Divine love in our hearts and sharing it with others.
Choices
Are you choosing to live a selfless life that takes the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors of others into account more than your ego’s selfish agenda? Are you willing to take the steps involved in moving from selfishness into selflessness without losing a sense of whom and what you truly are? Traverse the apparent journey from living in self-survival by striving to live in a state where we all mutually thrive in abundance of mutual understanding. It is a journey that we either choose to make or choose not to make. Seeking Divine love allows us to make the right choice for everyone! Be ye therefore more selfless than selfish. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

HOW'S THIS?
How’s this? Until you can be selfish enough to be ignorant, neglectful enough to be negative and disregarding enough to be disrespectful, you’re not ready for the next level.
Weakness isn’t for the successful because they depend too much on their egos to realize that being weak is a result of not being able to understand their own power from the spirit within.
When the weak align with spirit, it is then that the ego takes the back seat to control, domination and manipulation. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NEVER SOLD
True spirituality is never sold to anyone. It is embraced from within where the Divine teaches you who to trust and who not to trust; what to believe in and what not to believe in; where to go and where not to go; how to proceed and how not to proceed; when to act and when not to act; why to behave a certain way and why not to behave in other ways.
You don’t need books, courses, teachers, fellowship with believers or ongoing struggles to embrace Divine wisdom. You just need an open heart and an open mind to ALLOW the Divine to work through you with Divine love. Don’t take the circuitous route to Oneness with spirit. Trust in the Divine and go directly to Oneness by faithing your heart and mind with Divine love.
Your Divine purpose will unfold in Divine order when you trust the Divine completely. Nothing outside of you can teach you this; only what’s inside of you can move you to this realization and fulfillment of Divine love everlasting. Be ye therefore divine! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A QUICK FIX?
Are you looking for the quick fix? The magical cure? The easy answers to your perceived problems? Well then, look no further than your own heart. God has blessed you with an automatic and internal emotional guidance system that allows you to ‘feel’ the truth within. It is when your mind convinces you to not listen to this system is when you go awry.
Your ego wants to be in control to ensure your self-survival. It will do ANYTHING to convince you to listen to its errant ways. Deep in your heart is the benchmark of reality pre-programmed into your being that affords you to ‘reflect’ your thoughts, feelings and beliefs against in order to determine which way you need to proceed. It is when your ego cuts off this channel that you begin to go astray from your Divine purpose and go against Divine order.
There are never easy answers; only more difficult questions when you allow your ego to steer the wheel of your being. There are always easy answers and enlightening questions when you allow the Spirit of God within to steer your course with Divine love. Perceived problems exist for you to learn to live in Divine trust. It is in your choice of choosing Divine love that you clear your channel between your heart and mind to proceed in Divine order effectively, efficiently and energetically.
be ye therefore open to Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THE LESSER OF...
Every choice in life is either the lesser of two evils or the greater of two goods. Voting means that you have exercised your right to participate in our system, whether it is broken or not.
Not voting is voting for the greater of two evils or the lesser of two goods. To abstain from participation means that your voice is never heard, your action to make things better is never taken and your responsibility to yourself and others is not exercised.
You have something of value to offer all of us. When you don't vote, that value is not participating in our mutual growth and expansion. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

BLAMING
Republicans: Blame big government and NOT big business.
Democrats: Blame big business and NOT big government.
Independents: Blame big business AND big government.
Libertarians: Blame big government and hail individual initiative.
Tea Partiers: Blame Obama because he is black.
Green Partiers: Blame small government AND big business.
The rest of us: Blame ourselves for buying into their ongoing bullshit when we allow the plutocrats and politicians to control every aspect of our lives.
What can we do? Vote them out of office. Vote for the candidate that clearly demonstrates inner values and respects all of us by not being a self-serving bastard. Too simple? Perhaps, but it is up to us to make the change and no one else! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SECOND-HAND
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing. ~Autobiography of Mark Twain
CONNIVING BASTARDS
The last time I looked my eyes and my teeth were a part of by BODY!!! Yet, unscrupulous insurance companies have engineered them to be separate from your body! Conniving bastards, they are! Nothing less than conniving bastards!
Until the entire insurance industry is HEAVILY regulated health care will be divvied up to body parts in order to avoid coverage by insurance companies. The medicine/insurance complex will continue to F**K all of us until we demand FULL coverage for our bodies and minds.
Nothing less than this is maneuvering for the bottom line for the profits of those who make money off of sickness and illness. Trump these bastards once and for all by voting out their puppets who serve them and NOT us!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE ARTS
Without the arts our efforts are menial at best! From childhood to adulthood appreciation of music and art stimulates our minds, invigorates our bodies and embraces our spirit.
Support art and music education; without it, we will NEVER grow and expand into loving, caring and supportive beings! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
HOW YOU LOOK AT WAR
If you look at war being anything other than planned and implemented murder, you are fooling yourself.
It is murder from the control, domination and manipulation of the ego exalting itself over the Spirit of God!
Before you jump on the bandwagon of loyalty, honor and patriotism, make sure that the bandwagon is not heading straight to hell.
Be ye therefore open to the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPIRITUALLY DEFICIT
EGOTISTICAL DISORDER
Are you suffering from SDED? What is SDED? It is Spiritually Deficit Egotistical Disorder. A condition where you deny your inner well-being and use whatever exists outside of yourself to serve your needs, wants, desires and expectations. It doesn’t matter whether it is objects or people; what matters is that everything must fulfill your ego’s yearnings for accomplishment, recognition and selfish gain.
Do you interact with others everyday and only think of what you have to say and do without any regard for what they say or do? Are you so self-centered that you believe everyone else exists to accommodate you? Do you make your moves in life predicated on how it will benefit you only?
If you have answered yes to these questions then you have SDED. How do your cure SDED? You make the time each and every day to pray for guidance, meditate to receive guidance and serve others by sharing Divine love that helps them to become fulfilled.
Taking that which is your inner well-being and sharing it in your outer world blesses all with peace, understanding joy and Divine love everlasting. Take the focus on ‘me’ and place more on ‘we’ and you’ll see that you’ll become what you were created to be!
Change SDED to a SHARE; Spiritually Heightened Awareness Responsive Experience! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

DIVIDING
In order for religion to survive it must divide believers from non-believers and recruit non-believers in order to justify its own existence. Religions are institutions of rituals, traditions and dogma. They are farther from the Divine then they want you to believe. The more they remain the middle people between you and the Divine, the more you will support their existence. Why would you look outside for something that can only be found within? Why would you support institutions that divide us more than unite us? Why would be a part of something that does not contribute to our mutual growth and expansion in unity?
Spirituality is when you KNOW the existence of the Divine and you share Divine love with all of life. It means that you forego rituals for quiet communion with the Divine. It means that you abandon traditions that separate you from others and embrace those that do. It means that you let go of religious dogma in favor of Divine inspiration. Christ said quite clearly in Matthew 15:9, “And they revere me in vain while they teach the doctrines of the commandments of man“(Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
Do you revere the Christ within you? Or do you teach the doctrines of priests, murderers, slave owners, gay bashers and misogynists who designed the Bible? Do you believe what they have written down OVER what the Divine within is saying to you? Are you so blind to the truth that you do what others do just to ‘fit in’? If you do, then spend time praying, meditating and serving the Divine by sharing Divine love with all WITHOUT imposing your ‘beliefs’ on others. Show them how to KNOW God within more than look for God without.
Be a proponent of the truth more than the verbal and written descriptions of the truth. Be ye therefore spiritual and NOT religious! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
NEED NOT PARROT!
From the Internet to the Public Library we can all research the truth and learn from the facts.
We need not parrot what we see and hear on TV, Social Media or from our friends who heard it 'somewhere'.
Be a truth seeker by ferreting out the facts before 'believing' what you are told! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WAIT ON THE LORD
Wait on the Lord. Be patient. All that has appeared to have gone awry has all occurred in Divine order.
Those who have lied will be revealed; those who have taken advantage of others will be taken advantage of; those who have been selfish will be denied their pleasure.
It will all unfold perfectly in Divine order. All you have to do is be patient. ~ Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TRUST
Trust in the Divine. That’s all you have to do. Everything else is a distraction. Trusting means you have a relationship of Divine love that you share with the Divine.
Reading books, taking classes, going to seminars and fellowshipping with like-minded individuals is fine and dandy. However, your one on one relationship with the Creator of the omniverse is the most important thing in your life.
Make it a priority. Be ye therefore trusting. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LANDMARK?
What is Landmark Training? Is it a brainwashing technique or a deprogramming of erroneous beliefs that have held you back from becoming the real you? I have had several friends rave about it so I did some research.
Go to the links; read the info; decide for yourself. Just remember; the more you pay for a course in ANYTHING, the more you will ‘feel’ you will get out of it. Why? Because you need to justify the expenditure in your mind. Once you are convinced of by your emotional attachment, you tell others how great it is to get them to re-justify your experience.
Remember, true spirituality NEVER taps your bank account. It fills you with Divine love everlasting and blesses your life with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. Be ye therefore spiritual!
All of the Landmark training originated with Werner Erhard and EST. A used car salesman and part time Scientologist with an agenda. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

NEO-FASCIST?
In regard to a placard saying the following that I recently posted:
A Conservative says, “If it hasn’t happened to me, I don’t care.”
A Liberal says, “This should never happen to anyone, and that’s why I care.”
One commenter stated the following: “What is your incentive in saying such a neo-fascist regressive statement?”
First off, me posting this accurate statement does NOT make me a Neo-fascist. The definition is following:
Neo-fascist: A person who desires to ‘reestablish’ a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. Any RIGHT-WING nationalist ideology or movement with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and LIBERALISM [dictionary.com].
Regressive: moving backward; undoing what has already been established; obtained from or characterized by backward reasoning.
Since I am a progressive, I recognize that many conservatives are caring and loving people. It is their leaders who are lying to them and misinforming them about their clandestine and selfish agenda. I also recognize that many liberals are caring and loving people as well, and that their leaders are in constant gridlock with right-wing tea party neo-fascism which tries to suppress opposition and criticism, convert our democracy into a plutocracy, promote nationalism and foster separation of the middle class by race, sexual orientation and financial means.
Fascism OPPOSES liberalism. By making the above statement I am ‘observing’ and ‘recognizing’ the obvious traits of the people of these different philosophies. I am NOT using backward reasoning at all, and therefore are not being regressive. It is always prudent to know ‘what’ you are saying before you say it. In this case, I am neither a ‘neo-fascist’ nor a regressive. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
UNITES US
Your inner spirit unites us all in Divine Oneness. It is our minds that divide, separate, resist and fight that which we believe threatens our survival.
Stop believing what you are told by your mind and start trusting what is revealed by your inner spirit.
Your Divine purpose will not unfold perfectly in Divine order until you do. Be ye therefore trusting in your inner spirit by embracing Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE TWO THINGS
What are the two things that determine you fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order?
Being attracted to what you know you are created to be and not being distracted from it by things you believe you need to do in order to feel satisfied. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
“Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.” ~Mark Twain
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” ~Plato
I am blessed because when I extend my heart to others Divine love bathes me with waves of joy everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Perhaps if everyone stopped fighting their own unique war we would all live in peace? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Religion is a binding together of people with common beliefs and spirituality is a binding together with the Divine by knowing your inner well-being. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you cheat on someone, you are cheating yourself from the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

HONORING THE DEAD
In honor of all of our dead that gave their lives in wars, battles and confrontations, we all need to agree to seek an everlasting peace with one another. If we don't, then their deaths are in vain. Why? Because they gave their lives for us to live in peace. Peace is our Divine right when we align ourselves with the Spirit of God within. Death is what results from listening to our egos resist and fight what we don't understand.
Following, is a repost of commanding peace:
"Peace! Be still! This command of Jesus is a result of recognizing the authority and dominion that God has given us over the natural universe. Jesus knew the secret of this command and used it effectively to remove confusion, fear and chaos.
When raucous, offensive and negative thoughts dominate the stage of your mind recite this command and watch them minimize and disappear. We are children of the Most High God and we have the power He has bestowed on us to reshape the universe within and affect the universe without. Use the power we have been blessed with to create a peaceful world right now!" ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PROSELYTIZING
Now, in all of my writings have I ever tried to recruit any of you to my way of thinking? I have used scientific analysis to support spiritual revelation and have been accused of proselytizing others into believing fairy tales?
How many times have I written about discharging erroneous beliefs and embracing Divine wisdom? How many times have I stated that no one can tell you about God; you have to develop that relationship on your own!
Yet, when some massive egos with inherent agendas of control, domination and manipulation assert their ‘skew’ on things, they resort to minimizing that which can NEVER be minimized.
Thank you, my friend, for being you. It is has allowed me to feel great about being me! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FAIRY TALES
When you succumb to the illusion that in your decrying of that which you perceive as being fairy tales, you reveal that you are more ‘full of you’ than you are concerned about others.
It reveals that you have exalted yourself to the status of ‘town crier’ in a vain attempt to be recognized for your ability to see what others can’t.
It is not in the fact that you can see what others can’t; it is in the presumption that how you see it is more valid than anyone else’s vision of it and that they must see your way and not theirs.
The ego operates by controlling, dominating and manipulating information and others to ensure its self-survival. Without the attention being brought to it, it ‘believes’ it serves no useful purpose. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEVING
If atheists would just admit that it is their egos that drives them to call what I write, 'fairy tales', they would learn exactly why they ‘believe’ the way they do.
They do NOT have some specialized knowledge reserved for the few who choose not to 'believe' in the Divine; it is their belief not to believe.
Only when they come to realize this will they have the edge on reality. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE STRENGTH
OF CONVICTION
Every belief system is held up by the strength of conviction to their inherent beliefs. If you repeat a thought over and over again and accept it as true it becomes a belief. Beliefs layer upon one another and form a rigid belief system that an individual relies on to reflect off of in their experiences.
Religions, science and atheism are ALL belief systems. If you deny that, then you believe that what you ‘know’ is truer than what others believe. Your beliefs have fooled you into believing that you have an edge on reality that others don’t.
Knowing comes from your Source of stillness, silence and presence. If you choose not to believe this that is your right. However, you have no right to tell others that what they ‘know’ within is not true and what you believe ‘without’ is truer.
When you do this, you are allowing your ego to control, dominate and manipulate reality to suit your selfish agenda. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOUR WAY OF THINKING
What does it mean to proselytize someone to your way of thinking? It means you make an attempt to convert someone to your way of thinking. In essence, you are recruiting their belief system to follow your belief system.
Just because you have repeated thoughts over and over and have accepted their existence and conclusions as being true does not necessarily mean that they are valid. Knowing the definitions of words and where they originated from reveals the words’ intent.
Share what you believe and what you know with others in order to help them decide what is real for them. Never tell them what to believe or what they should know.
Point the way to knowledge and allow them the dignity of making the trip on their own. Be ye therefore resilient! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

BURNED AT THE STAKE
Atheists have never burned anyone at the stake literally; however, when they declare their opinion to be correct over yours they are burning your perception of divinity and denying your experience of it as well.
When declaring that your opinion is more correct than anyone else’s, you are, in effect, being more concerned about your motives than ever taking anyone else’s into account.
Selfishness decries collective consideration and reveals the need to manifest their personal agenda over a collective understanding and integration of knowledge more than belief.
Be ye therefore careful of those who use ego to justify their beliefs more than knowing the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
