DIVINE INSIGHT
I am so thankful for the Divine insight that blesses me every day. When I read some of the comments in my posts it seems that some really get it and some miss the point completely. Either way, I will continue to share my insights despite being berated, cursed talked down to by some who just refuse to see the light within. That is their right and I pray for their souls.
However, listening to the negativity every day has reached its limit for me. I am not here to preach, talk down to or gain support from all of you. I am here to share what has been shared with me; take it or leave it. If you refuse to study about religions, history and politics that is your right.
But please, don’t talk about something that you know NOTHING about if you haven’t spent the time in the library or researching FACTS on the Internet. Your ignorance and refusal to stifle your ignorance is very disconcerting. Before you come to the table in intelligent discussion make sure you research the facts before you spout your opinion.
To those who always offer insight and uplifting choices, I thank you. You are the ones who will be helping others find just whom and what they are. Peace and blessings to all of you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

CHRIST
The term Christ comes from the Latin 'Christus' and originally from the Greek 'khristos' meaning 'the anointed'. The translation of the Hebrew 'mashiah' is what is now called the 'messiah'. It literally means 'healer'. Salvation is from the Latin ‘salvatio’, which originally came from the Greek ‘soteria’; which means ‘to save’. It literally means to save yourself from your limited human experience by living in the Christ Consciousness where you know you are a healer.
Giving your life to Christ is having the knowledge to know how to allow Divine love to move through you to affect your world. Being saved means being healed of the ego’s perceptions of lack and limitation and embracing the omniversal abundance of the Spirit of God within! The Christ within you! Do you truly want to give your life to Christ? Then go within each and every day and experience your inner well-being of Divine love and sip the nectar of the living waters of Christ.
Buddha knew this. Yeshua knew this. Mohammed knew this. Krishna knew this. The shamans knew this as well. They called it the Great Spirit. Religions have always pointed to that which is deep within you but have always gotten caught up in the social aspect of community more than the individual experience of the Divine. Be ye therefore centered always in Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

DRAWBACKS
Being aware has its drawbacks. It forces you to sometimes watch others learn and re-learn lessons you have already experienced and mastered. Trying to help them is futile when they have made their minds up on repeating the same behaviors that continue to undo their progress.
What should you do? Plant the awareness within them that they have the seeds of greatness just waiting to be germinated by them allowing abundance to flow through them. If they deny you, berate you or ignore you, simply move on.
The seeds you planted will germinate someday when they realize the Divine within. Being a healer of humankind requires the awareness to know when to walk away and trust the Divine to work Divine love in their lives. This is called living in Divine order.
Be ye therefore understanding and patient in your healing walk! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

RE-CREATING
No matter how you look at things what you put your attention to and resist its apparent effect on you, you keep recreating it! Stop fighting cancer, racism and poverty. Allow it to be what it is and flow Divine love from your heart to cure cancer; stop racism; and eliminate poverty.
The more you fight and resist, the more you generate chaos and NOT peace. The more you fight and resist, the more you generate selfishness and NOT understanding. The more you fight and resist, the more you generate sorrow and NOT joy. The more you fight and resist, the more you generate animosity and NOT Divine love.
Stop fighting and resisting and you will not give power to that which you feel is hurting you, abusing you or taking advantage of you. Stay focused on allowing Divine love to flow through you to affect your world positively instead of co-creating more negativity by choosing to fight and resist.
Is it that simple? Try it and see. You WILL be amazed!!! Be ye therefore allowing of Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE PERFECT
JUST AS YOU ARE!
You are absolutely perfect just as you are. The reason you don’t see it sometimes is because you choose to believe more than know, act more than think and speak more than feel.
Divine perfection is at the center of your being blessing you with life each and every day. Until you allow that inner perfection of Divine love to flow through you and co-create your innermost desires you will choose to believe what some book says, what some teacher says or what your ego tells you that you must do.
Stop believing in anything and start knowing everything! Allow your inner well-being to create the expressions you were created to create. Be ye therefore allowing and creative! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

HEALING FROM
YOUR SPIRIT
When you choose to move away from pain and suffering and move toward peace and joy, the power of Divine love heals you from your spirit to your mind and to your body.
Feel your inner well-being bathing you with Divine love every day by letting go of that which doesn’t serve your health, wealth, prosperity and abundance and embracing that which does.
In your ability to choose lies the valve that opens or tightens the floodgate to your well-being. Choose wisely, my friends! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL
Do you believe that love conquers all? Or do you KNOW it? Love is the power that was expressed into the omniverse to create everything everywhere.
It is the essence of what we are. Love is the purest form of energy in the omniverse. Feel it. Share it.
Live in it each and every day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MY BLESSED LIFE
Thank you God for my blessed life! Thank you for the ups and downs, the ins and outs and the victories and defeats. They have all carved me into the curmudgeon and the happy person that I am.
Thank you for the times in deep meditation that you have smoothed out the rough edges in me and blessed me with your guidance. If it wasn’t for your peace, understanding, joy and Divine love I would have lost it by now.
Thank you for the strength of character over the past few years when I had to deal with the lies and accusations that were leveled against me from evil people with selfish agendas. Thank you for my children and grandchildren.
Thank you for the music you put in my heart. Thank you for my beautiful and loving wife who supports my dreams and goals. Thank you for each and every breath that I take. Knowing you has been the high point of my life. Thank you, also, for being able to share my heart with all of my friends each and every day on FB.
My friends have uplifted me, argued with me and joked around with me. They are the best and I ask you to bless all of them always. Udabest, God! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIVING FROM
YOUR EGO
How do you know when you are living mostly from your ego? Actually, it’s quite simple. When you get ‘offended’ by events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behaviors of others to the point where you react negatively, you have allowed your ego to protect whom and what you feel you are without regard for others. In the moment when you feel ‘offended’ by the perceptions of your experiences you have the opportunity to ‘pivot’ from allowing the surge of negativity to overcome you.
How do you do this? By allowing yourself to proact in faith by trusting completely in the Divine to unfold Divine order perfectly. Too simple, you might say? The power of the expression of Divine love is always in your choice to act with a plan of trust more than an acclimation to fear. Fear has been said that it is False Evidence Appearing Real. It is more like Real Evidence Appearing False (REAF) because of your perception of its effect based on NOT trusting in the Divine.
If you truly want to trust completely in the Divine then stop getting offended by what others say and do. Stand your ground based on positive and acceptable behaviors that SUPPORT life and contribute to the growth and expansion of ALL! When you choose to react more than proact your ego is in command. When you choose to proact more than react you are allowing the Spirit of God to guide you to unfold your Divine purpose in Divine order. It appears as a fine line to travel or an extended walk on a tightrope; however, it is easy to maintain your balance when you allow and trust in that which has given you life and purpose. Be ye therefore balanced! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FINANCIAL SLAVE MASTERS
When someone else, whether an individual or a group of individuals operating as a corporation, has the power to decide over your ‘individual’ health care choices based on what they ‘believe’, they are no more than ‘financial’ slave masters deciding what they ‘think’ is best for you.
Don’t be fooled by the guise of religious beliefs being touted as their ‘reason’ when in actuality it is their ‘bottom line’ in the costs of health care that they are trying to protect.
It’s time to get out your umbrellas and lock the doors to their ivory towers and say to them, “Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining!” ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
UP TO YOU
Within you is the way to complete happiness, fulfillment and bliss! It is up to you to quiet yourself and listen to your well-being guiding you to peace, understanding, joy and Divine love.
When you do, health, wealth, prosperity and abundance are the by-products of your choice in listening.
Why are you doing everything else but listening to that which knows everything? Why? Why? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
When the voice within tells you to share your talents, skills and abilities with others to help them understand peace, understanding, joy and Divine love, it is from God. When it tells you to take care of yourself only or hurt someone else, then it is your ego. Too simple? It is more simple than you might think. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Life is a gift. Unwrap it. Open the box. Take the gift out and use it for what it was intended to do; make you happy! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Keeping focused on what you know and trusting in that brings about the conversion of possibilities into probabilities. Be a living example of faith in carrying out what you know deep inside. Enjoying the fruits of your labors is the sign of complete fulfillment. Be ye therefore trusting of what you know in your heart. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Alright already! It’s time for me to unload. I am SO sick and tired of the howling and crying by a great deal of people saying, “Fight Cancer”, “Fight Racism” and “Fight Poverty.” What about the following statement do you NOT understand? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“What you resist persists.” ~Carl Gustav Jung
Individual truth is not truth for everyone until it is repeatedly and consistently validated. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Knowing minds discuss how people can better themselves. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Well-being; something you already have inside yet look outside of yourself to find. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.” ~Joseph Heller, Catch-22
HUMAN ASPECTS
Physical: I sense, therefore I perceive. Even though our senses are limited, they are our window to our ‘perception’ of reality. Our brains create electromagnetic ‘copies’ of reality that we accept as real. These copies are NOT reality; they are representations of reality.
The Emotional: I feel, therefore I believe. When our repeated thoughts are accepted as true, we create beliefs that get lodged into our subconscious minds by the feelings we experience from our interaction with our environment. These beliefs are accepted as real by us even though some of them might be completely erroneous.
The Mental: I think therefore I am. Is it true that just because we think that we are individual beings? Or is it the combination of all four aspects of our beings that make us sentient? Every thought in our minds come from electro-chemical interactions in our brains. These thoughts create reactive feelings that ‘move’ us into deciding to take action and manifesting behaviors. We exist because of all four aspects of being and NOT just thought.
The Spiritual: I allow, therefore I know. When we get in touch with our inner spirituality we learn not to resist that which we ‘believe’ is contrary to our joy and simply allow it to be without attaching any emotions to it. Knowing ALWAYS trumps believing because it comes from the Spirit of God. It is our center of well-being that guides our steps in unfolding our Divine purposes in Divine order through accepting Divine will and sharing Divine love.

I AM
Most of us have heard the quote from Descartes, “Cogito Ergo Sum”; “I think therefore I am.” But what about the other three aspects beside the mental? In the physical it could be, “I sense, therefore I perceive.” The emotional would be, “I feel, therefore I believe.” And the spiritual would be, “I allow, therefore I know.”
Perhaps we should alter this famous quote to say, “I exist, therefore I allow.” Maybe then we will come to know that proacting from Divine love allows us to live in peace, understanding and joy everlasting.
It is infinitely better than reacting to what we believe is contrary to our joy by resisting that which ‘appears’ to be detrimental to our growth and expansion. Be ye therefore a whole being that exists in complete Divine allowance! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SMILE WHEN YOU ARE SAD
Choosing to smile when you are sad reveals that you are in touch with your inner well-being enough to know that despite what you feel, you know that it will get better.
Pivoting from the negative to the positive releases Divine love from your heart to flood your world with peace, understanding and joy. Be proactive.
Be a lover and NOT a fighter. See the best in all things and the best in all things will become alive in you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
REFUSE TO RESIST
I refuse to resist that which appears to be against me. I allow it to be and be grateful for its presence in my life. It is here to teach me what I don’t want and what I do want. Negativity wins when you resist it. Why? Because you acknowledge its existence and by doing so you give power to it. In James 4:7, it says, “Submit therefore to God and stand against Satan, and he will flee from you” (Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
It does NOT say what is said in the KJV; “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” It says to stand against evil and it will flee from you; NOT resist it! Yeshua said in Matthew 5:39, “But I am saying to you, you shall not rise up against an evil person, but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other” (Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
In the KJV he says, “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” He clearly says to NOT resist evil! Stand against it, but don’t resist it! If you resist it, it will persist until it breaks you down! Don’t allow that which undoes progress and growth to influence your mind and heart. God has created you PERFECTLY to be whom and what you ARE!!! Be that and NOTHING else!
Allow negativity to pass through you without ANY reaction on your part and you will be standing firm against its perceived power. You give negativity the power when you pay too much attention to it! Allow it to be and focus on sharing Divine love with all. That will diffuse its perceived power over you and allow you to fulfill your Divine destiny! Be ye therefore PERFECT! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSTRUCTS OF FEAR
Satan, the devil or negativity are all constructs of fear based thinking! It is the ego putting off its natural defense mechanism onto something outside of you so that you will ‘believe’ that you are a victim of circumstances. Circumstances are created by us by the beliefs we hold onto and the actions we take based on those beliefs. Circumstances are defined as the ‘surrounding conditions’ (from Latin ‘circumstantia’) of events, occurrences, situations or the behaviors of others in relation to you. The ego’s job is to protect you at all costs. What better way to protect you than to create an entity ‘outside’ of yourself on which to place the blame for your inability to minimize your individual aberrances?
The ego is a construct of the biological imperatives of safety, security and self-survival. It is the active consciousness of the ‘reptilian’ brain that reacts to environmental stimuli with the imperative of self-survival at ALL costs. The ego is NOT necessarily a ‘bad’ thing! It has a job to do and it is your choice to allow its belief system to rule your life or the knowingness of the Spirit of God. That is the ongoing challenge to you day after day. Moving from emotionally reacting to spiritually allowing depends on you moving from physically reacting to mentally proacting. Maintaining a balance between the demands of your ego and the subtle commands of the Spirit of God is the key to surviving AND thriving.
Moving from selfishness to selflessness doesn’t mean that you sell everything and move into an ashram to pray incessantly to be free from your ego. It means allowing that which serves ‘we’ to be paramount over that which serves ‘me’. It means living your life in service to ‘everyone’ and NOT just yourself. Stop blaming Satan, the devil and others’ negativity for the problems in your life. This will make you a responsible, mature and accountable adult sharing Divine love; not a child that blames external circumstances, people and entities for your own aberrances. Be aware of just whom and what ‘know’ you are more than what you ‘believe’ you are. Be ye therefore responsible, mature and accountable! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

PLAYING IT SAFE
Every time you play it safe and listen to the loud voice of your ego telling you to protect yourself at all costs you diminish your flow from your spiritual well-being.
Stop playing it safe and start trusting completely in the Divine to guide you to complete and utter fulfillment!
Operate from faith in the Divine more than the fears of your ego and you will excel to become whom and what you were created to be! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIVING IN FEAR
Open carry
Is reality wary
It is living in total fear
That the worst is near
It is going back in time
When only egos were in command
It is living in the Old West
When the twitch of a finger met their demands
Why would anyone with a heart, a soul and love
Want to end the life of another?
Just because they might not appear to be
A sister or a brother
It is because the fear of pain
rides herd in their hearts
Not knowing that the faith of God
Is the joy that starts
The endless living in peace, joy, understanding and Divine love
The being divine imparts
So the next time you see
someone brandishing a gun
send them Divine love
and we all will have won
WITHIN YOU RIGHT NOW
Everything you’ve ever dreamed of; aspired to; and worked towards is within you right now. It is bubbling up to the surface of your consciousness fueled by the desire of complete and utter fulfillment.
The only reason it is not reflected in your world is that somewhere along the line you chose to believe that it wasn’t so; that it couldn’t happen; or that it just wasn’t meant to be. Knowing that, why do you choose to believe what is not so in favor of knowing what is?
Doubt, worry and fear linger in mediocrity while certainty, focus and faith dwell in fulfillment. What you believe will always block what you know because you have the free will to choose ‘how’ to be.
When you let go and allow the Divine to handle the ‘how’ you will move into the ‘what’ and ‘when’. Be ye therefore trusting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

PROGRESSIVE
I am a progressive liberal with a balance of democratic libertarianism. And what's wrong with acknowledging the facts for everyone over the agendas for a select few who manipulate the financial system for their own selfish gain?
Only when we take the effect of our actions on the other guy into account are we sincerely looking out for each other and not selfishly making decisions for our own gain.
Call me what you may; I will always choose ‘we’ over ‘me’! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I KNOW
All of you are just perfect and beautiful as you are. I am so blessed to know all of you and share with you every day. Thank you for reading my writings, liking and commenting.
When you do, I know I have obeyed the still small voice who says what I need to say and when I need to say it. I am so honored to know all of you and share with you every day.
I am so blessed that I am speechless; and you all know how difficult that is for me! God bless you all and your families as well. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
OPENING THE VALVE
Have you ever really looked at a water tower? Do you know how it works? Water towers work by the elevation of an abundance of water that creates downward pressure coupled with the attraction of gravity. Tons of water have the potential of moving along with the laws of pressure and gravity in accordance with simple physics. All of that potential is always available but doesn’t actualize that potential until a valve is opened. A valve is a device for halting or controlling the flow of materials through a passage, pipe, inlet or outlet. The more you open the valve, the more flows through it. The more you close the valve, the less flow through it until it stops completely when you shut it off.
What is the valve to this flow in our lives? It is our belief systems. We alone control the flow of Divine abundance by how we believe not only in it, but how much we allow it to grow and expand in our lives. The Divine abundance is just like the elevated water tank just waiting to flow the waters of bounty through us in accordance with the laws of the natural world. It is we who regulated that flow by our accepted beliefs; whether they are valid or erroneous. Some of us have accepted mediocrity so much that our valve is stuck in a ‘low flow’ position. It is up to us to grease the valve and move it slowly into a greater flow.
We do this by making time each and every day to go within and listen to the still small voice of the Divine guiding and directing us as to when and how to move that valve. Too simple? Perhaps; but it works!!! Regulate you valve to open up to the Divine blessings that are ALWAYS present to flow through you by immersing yourself in your inner well-being of Divine love each and every day. Until you do so, you will struggle with your valve and become increasingly frustrated. Be ye therefore flowing Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT YOU NEED
TO UNDERSTAND
What you ignore, don’t pay attention to or dismiss as not worthy of your attention is just what you need to understand.
Why? Because in all of life there are things that speak to us in subtleties that don’t appear pertinent at the time that we hear them, but congeal into understanding over time.
Watch the cues, sort out the chatter and discern just what you need to do to move toward fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. After all, it is your life.
Pay attention to what goes on around you and be what you were created to be. Be ye therefore observant! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
FILLING IN THE BLANKS
In regard to the discovery of the size, movement and composition of the omniverse, the existence of matter, energy, dark matter and dark energy ‘fill in the blanks’ of our understanding. In the TV series ‘Cosmos’, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, “It’s OK not to know all the answers. It is better to admit ignorance, than to believe answers that might be wrong.
Pretending to know everything closes the door to finding out what’s really there.” This is true when observing the perceived dualistic reality. Since our senses are extremely limited, we need to keep an open mind when gathering and collating raw data and not assume conclusions before scientific validation.
However, when we can ‘see’ beyond what is observed and believed and come to know the intricacies of the cosmos through our inner voyage to the source of all existence, our imagination becomes fertile with the possibilities of a spiritual existence that manifests as probabilities in the perceived dualistic reality.
What exists within from the spirit to the mind to the emotions and to physical manifestation, becomes what is ‘without’. What exists ‘above’ our ‘below’ abilities to sense, perceive and believe is the knowingness of spirit that comes from regular and deep meditation on our inner well-being.
We might not ‘know’ all of the answers that are probable in the PDR (perceived dualistic reality); and it is wise to admit our ignorance and not ‘believe’ in answers that ‘might’ be wrong.
Instead of ‘pretending’ to know everything, open the door to ‘allowing’ everything to know you by enlightening your imagination. Allow the source of all existence to create the inner possibilities of understanding the greater picture ‘beyond’ what you sense, perceive and believe. Moving ‘possibilities’ into the realm of ‘probabilities’ is not pretending; it is allowing that which expresses everything to make you aware of the truth of all existence.
Be ye therefore open to everything by allowing nothing to thwart your inner awareness of well-being. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHO TOLD YOU?
Who told you that you could never fulfill your dreams? Who told you that you would never amount to much? Who said that you weren’t smart enough, good looking enough or athletic enough to be successful? Was it God? Or was it your friends, family or acquaintances? More than likely it was you; your ego telling you to play it safe so you wouldn’t be let down; that you should have something to fall back on; that you just don’t have all the talents, skills and abilities to be what you desire the most. Your ego’s job is to protect you at all costs; to ensure your safety; to keep you from emotional and physical harm.
According to some teachings, like ACIM, they tell you that you have no ego; that all is from the Spirit. In some sense that is true, however you operate your life on what you believe more than know most of the time. The ego is a construct that describes your self-survival mechanism. It is not a thing or entity, but a by-product of your reptilian brain processes.
If you ‘believe’ what ACIM tells you, it does not exist at all! Remember, ACIM as ‘channeled’ by a women ’claiming’ that it came from Jesus Christ. The mass contradictions in the text to the actuality of the scientific omniverse are alarming! We exist in both the world of the physical and the spiritual.
We move the physical from the emotional and think the thoughts in the mental realm from the intuition of spirit and the observation and ‘perception’ of the physical. Just because something ‘sounds’ right to you, doesn’t mean that it is right. Keep your mind open to the reality in which you live every day. Don’t allow ANYONE, not even your ego, to convince you to be anything other than what you are. A living breathing being of light that ‘lives’ in the physical world.
The voices we all hear in our head could be our ego, Satan or the Spirit of God. The acid test is that if we are guided to unfold our Divine purpose in Divine order and help others do the same, it is from God. If it tells you to do something to hurt or diminish anyone else, it is from your ego or your invention of an entity like Satan that is trying to trick you.
God doesn’t test you; Satan doesn’t trick you; you allow God to guide you; or you selfishly move through life only trying to make your own situation better. Stop listening to all of the distractions from listening to the Spirit of God. Go within each and every day and experience the truth and purity of Divine love. That’s all you will ever need to live in complete and utter fulfillment. Be ye therefore confident in the love that God has for you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
This long forgotten poem by Jean-Henri Sadot was set to music by Lionel Bernard and sung by Jerome Pannier, two young citizens of Jean-Henri Sadot's native Normandy, France. They visited the Jean Sadot heritage website, read his memoirs and poems, and Lionel set this poem to his excellent and appropriate music.
Other parts were added "stateside" by Vic & Rob Sadot, Dean A. Banks, and Ellen Lebowitz. The song celebrates how the Statue of Liberty represents American democracy and the unique historic friendship between France and the USA. It was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States and was designated a National Monument on October 15, 1924.
Somewhere out in the cosmos Jean-Henri Sadot must be smiling at this Franco-American musical project on his poem even as he winces at the crude remarks of America's first President-Selected by the Supreme Court and his entourage of Neo-Con war profiteers.
CONSULTATION
A STEP AWAY
Are you a step away from fulfilling your innermost desires? Is the culmination of your Divine purpose just around the corner? Do you feel close to manifesting what you were created to be?
If so, move in Divine order and feel your way through to complete and utter fulfillment. Trust completely in the Divine to guide your steps to fruition. You can do it. It’s just a step away.
This following song was from an album I produced in 1992 for the Artist Steve Miceli. Steve is on guitar, I am on keyboards (strings), Dave Karns is on bass and Jim Burnett is on drums.
A Step Away is about being really close to your goal and making that final step. Enjoy! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SEEING THE
END RESULT
When you want to fulfill your innermost desires you need to think, feel, speak and do what it takes to manifest them EVERYDAY! Seeing the end result creates the vibration of energy in your mind and when you feel them to be real they energize the Divine love in your heart to actualize them.
Remember the feeling you had when you were in love; the feeling you had when all of your needs were met; the feeling you had when you felt at peace with yourself and everyone. These are the feelings that you need to feel inside and speak them into your world. It is NOT just about positive thinking; it is about the positive declaration of the complete fulfillment of your innermost desires to push the snowball over the edge of the hill into motion.
Trust in the Divine to allow the laws of natural order to follow Divine order and create the life you were created to live. If you focus on thinking about, feeling, speaking and doing what hurts, challenges your survival or keeps you in chaos, then it’s no wonder you are NOT happy and NOT fulfilled. After all, it is YOUR life and it is up to YOU to unfold your Divine purpose in Divine order.
Choose to live in health, wealth, prosperity and abundance by the vibrations you emit from your thoughts, feelings, words, actions and behaviors. Be ye therefore declarative of what you know you were created to think, feel, say and do. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

DENYING YOUR DIVINITY
When you deny your individual perfection, you are denying your inherent divinity. You are nay saying the brilliant light that you are; in effect, covering it up.
Yeshua said, “And they do not light a lamp and set it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all those who are in the house.” ~Matthew 5:15 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
Stop denying that which you are in favor of fitting in with those who have no clue of their inner divinity just to be accepted by them. They are NOT your Source; God IS!!!
Allow that which has given you life, love and experience to flow Divine love through you each and every day. For it is in your faith and trust in God that your light shines forth to heal the world! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
OWNING YOUR
INFIRMITIES?
One day you will realize just how much you are loved by the Divine through the existence, maintenance, growth and expansion of the omniverse.
You express on a stage of life that which you have been given freely; Divine love. You express it to the degree that you allow it to flow through you into your world.
Be ye therefore perfect in what you are; the culmination and individualized expression of Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
Continually looking to the outside of ourselves and blaming what appears to be negative events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and/or entities keeps us in material belief instead of Divine knowing. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
As I stand on the brink of a new civilization where peace, understanding, joy and Divine love fill all of our hearts, I am grateful that my inner sense of well-being blesses me every day with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance everlasting. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A smart man never questions new shoes! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What appears to be small, narrow and limited to the ego is large, wide and infinite to the spirit. As above, so below and as within, so without. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you assign human qualities to the Divine, which is infinite and loving, you are limiting that which is infinite. Stop anthropomorphizing that which is beyond any form of perception and you will see the truth clearly and come to know Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When a non-profit organization crosses the line and contributes financially to political organizations it should lose its non-profit status. When it uses 'belief systems' to manifest its own agenda it should as well. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Is it better to be good at doing well or to be well at doing good? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When doing ‘good’ is deemed not important, then being ‘well’ soon will be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Living your Divine purpose in Divine order is important for the sharing of your well-being with others; trust in God to take care of the how when you follow Divine guidance and do what you need to do to unfold your blessings. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
No one is ever locked out of Divine love without their choice to make it so. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When humankind shows all of life the respect and dignity it rightfully deserves, the peace and harmony of Divine love will embrace everyone with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“All my life I have been honest--comparatively honest. I could never use money I had not made honestly--I could only lend it.” ~Samuel Clemens, from a speech dated 12/22/1907.
Any correction of one's intellect requires an emotional impetus of action for the truth to be understood and manifested. From the spirit to the mind to the emotions to the body is how individual expression is actualized. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Those who always remember where they came from will always remember where they are going. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Those who never forget who have helped them will never forget them when they are fulfilled. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Those who love unconditionally will always be able to recognize the love in everything. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
How far you run depends on how far you go. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
How much you love depends on how much you give. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
How well you know depends on how much you know well. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
While you weren’t looking someone else was and is now taking advantage of that moment. Know your rights and defend the rights of others before that moment denies you and others of what we already have. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Only when you think you can control fear are you surprised with the fact that you can't. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Owning, operating or maintaining a gun comes from the consciousness of controlling your own fear of being attacked, threatened or accosted. Choosing faith in God and trusting in Divine protection is the proactive approach; it is creating peace through Divine love instead of fueling the fear of being hurt. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Wishing is for those who aren't sure of what they already have because they won't allow themselves to experience their inner well-being flowing Divine love into their hearts. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ANIMAL WELFARE
THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE
The Source of all life is Divine love. It is the expression that has brought everything into existence. Not living in Divine love is caused by our conscious separation from it; not because it is not there.
Stop looking into a dark room and believing just because you see nothing that something isn’t there. Remove the veil of the ego and see the reality of the light of Divine love. It is up to you and you alone.
No one can see it for you, tell you that it is there or convince you of its presence. Only you can let go of that which blinds you to that which has given you life. Be ye therefore open to living in Divine love everlasting. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SHINING THE LIGHT
I post and repost many items for and against religious control of innocent people. I have been on Facebook for over 8 years and will continue to shine the light on aberrance; whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or any other religious group that demeans ANY of its constituents.
I have never intended to judge any group; but to expose what it has done for your review. I will post and repost what appears to be wrong, whether it’s a ritual or not; respect and dignity must be afforded to all whether in reality OR for show!
When ANY religious group decides to demean any other or its constituents, we need to see it for what it is; not what it APPEARS to be! When people nitpick about judging religious groups or revealing the aberrances that they perpetrate on others, it is THEY who are the ones who speak the loudest and do NOTHING to put a stop to it.
See things for what they are and NOT what they appear to be. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NEVER AGAIN
When you make the time to let go of everything that doesn’t serve the manifestation of your Divine purpose and make the correct choices each and every day to remove them from your life, amazing things begin to happen.
Your awareness blossoms, your life becomes replete with opportunities and you move toward an inner peace that no one can take away. It is the culmination of removing the chaff from the wheat and feasting on the nourishment of your inner spirit.
Once the butterfly has made its metamorphosis it will never again be a caterpillar. Spread your beautiful wings and become who you were created to be; a divine being that feels joy, seeks understanding and lives Divine love each and every moment of your life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
METAMORPHOSIS
Following is a song written and performed by me on keyboards, key bass and drum programming. It is called "Metamorphosis"and the video demonstrates the changes we all have been going through. Once you have gone forward, it's too hard to go back; especially when back was NOT fulfilling! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE IMPERATIVE
When you base your opinions only on what you experience you are denying that what you didn’t experience to contribute to your opinion. Some things have events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behaviors of others that you never witness; yet you base your opinion about others ONLY on what you experience and what you FEEL about what you experience.
People have a biological imperative to survive at all costs. When religious beliefs supersede the rights of others based on those beliefs you are crafting your opinion to enforce those beliefs at all costs. You are denying the essence and presence of Divine love in favor of what you believe.
Stop and think about it. Are your beliefs so important to you that you deny anyone else’s experience because they don’t ‘fit in’ with your belief systems’ agenda? When you put ANYTHING above sharing Divine love with all you are bowing to your ego and fooling yourself about the truth.
We are a diverse people who can only unify when we stop focusing on our differences only, and start focusing on our similarities in spirit and in truth. Be ye therefore unified in spirit with all of life! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALLOWING
The greatest thing you can ever do is allow yourself to be whom and what you were created to be. Anything else is falling short of fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order.
You have seeds of greatness that grow from the Divine love in your heart and expand into your world when you allow them to germinate. Stop resisting what you believe is wrong with you and start allowing that which is right with you.
Be the Divine love in your heart more than your selfish ego and live in peace, understanding and joy everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

MEDITATION
Meditation in its original Greek meaning is more like contemplation. It is continuing an extending reflection upon what one has been thinking about after an experience that has been perceived. Concentration is focusing on a single thought and contemplation is moving that thought around and placing it in different scenarios.
In the Greek, meditation means "to measure, limit, consider, advise" (cf. Gk. medesthai "think about," medon "ruler," L. modus "measure, manner." However, in the Hindu meaning, it is somewhat different. It is the ‘relaxation response’ to concentrating on a mantra, image or feeling. It is the period of NOT THINKING but LISTENING to the inner silence and experiencing the inner stillness.
There is nothing MINDFUL with meditation; it is more MINDLESS since it is a ‘response’ of silence to the chatter of the mind. Whatever it means to you is irrelevant. What it is is what it is! It is letting go of the mind’s apparent control over its thoughts and allowing the stillness and silence within to bathe you with Divine love; your inner well-being. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
DISCHARGE YOUR
ERRONEOUS BELIEFS
When you start living your life from what you know you are instead of what you believe you are, the heavens will open your heart to living in the complete health, wealth, prosperity and abundance of your inner well-being.
It is up to you to discharge your erroneous beliefs that stifle your living in your Divine purpose unfolding in Divine order. Until you walk the walk after talking the talk you will remain in mediocrity ‘wishing’ for ‘things’ instead of knowing the living waters of your inner divinity.
Be ye therefore swimming freely and not treading water! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
