JOB CREATION
When unproven 'theories' of job creation contribute to the cutting off of the social safety net to PROVE these erroneous theories, it is from the agenda manifestation efforts of those who wish to control, dominate and manipulate our free market system to their own ends; in other words, the corporate ego megaliths! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

MENTAL IMAGES
Our brains think in images; from words, concepts and experiences. Without mentally discerning these images we could not extrapolate and interpolate their meanings based on our experiences.
We are psycho-physical units of biological substance that think through electro-chemical interactions in our brains. When our perceived images don't match what we feel is right for us, we externally seek to validate their veracity.
When we are truly open to an honest accumulation of the facts and how they were obtained, we generally see why they were presented to begin with; which ultimately 'supports' our original conclusions based on the facts that we have obtained.
The only time this changes is when we glorify the process more than the conclusions. Just because someone uses the same process and arrives at different conclusions doesn't mean that the process is faulty, it means that individual ego manifestation of an accepted set of beliefs takes precedent over the shared truth.
Going within and allowing Divine discernment to awaken you to other possibilities is the first step in 'seeing' beyond the veil of accepted 'opinion' into the realm of Divine truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WEBSITE HOSTING
TOOLS TO COMMUNICATE
A friend just quoted from Gregg Braden's book, “The Divine Matrix”. “He makes a point of using emotion as the tool to communicate. Of course, opening the door to the journey is the spoken word and the word is the primary action in creation. But the intention is then put out freely given, without expectation of a healing or creation to happen.
I don't agree with this statement at all: "But the intention is then put out freely given, without expectation of a healing or creation to happen." Nothing would ever be created without expectation for it to be created. Expectation is the decision that it will happen despite all indications to the contrary.
If you listen to the contraindications, you are allowing their possibilities to become probabilities. Expectation of a desired result and then letting it go to manifest is more appropriate than NOT expecting it to occur at all. You will get what you expect; whether your expect it or not.
The difference between expecting the ego's yearnings and your Divine desires defines what expectation is all about! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

EXPECTATION
Expectation of giving love and getting it back from someone, to me, is the ego's yearning for affection from its object of affection. Expectation of the unfolding of your Divine purpose in Divine order by sharing Divine love with all is manifesting your Divine desires.
If the Creator didn't expect the creation to be created, then it would not have been manifested. The command "Let there be Light" produced light because of the implied expectation that there would be light. Without the 'expectation' of the Divine manifestation following the Divine intention, the power of Divine love expressing itself into the perceived dualistic reality would not have occurred.
Perhaps 'conditional expectation' coming from the ego's yearnings as opposed to 'unconditional expectation' coming from the Divine desires of your spiritual heart is the correct way of discerning the differences in expectation?
It might seem as if I am nitpicking here, but when someone teaches that not expecting that which edifies all without discerning the sub modalities of its individual perceptions of such, is ultimately leading others down a primrose path.
Expect that which defines your Divine purpose and expect not which satisfies your ego’s whims. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DIVINE ORDER IS
ALWAYS WORKING
Divine order works for those who allow it to guide them to be at the right place, at the right time with the right people to fulfill the Divine blessings that they have in their Divine purpose!
Be ye therefore blessed by converting your individual faith into complete Divine trust! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GREED
Greedy are those who falsely instruct others to follow their own destructive path based on falsehoods, skewed reality and personal agenda manifestation.
Wise are those who see through veils of control, domination and manipulation into the realm of Divine 'knowingness'.
Be ye therefore knowing! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CORPORATIONS
Corporations are groups of people who are out for their collective bottom line to elevate their perceived station in life over others.
If they were truly out to make better products and create better services they would actively integrate into their communities of origin instead of moving production and implementation overseas in order to generate more of a profit to fulfill their perceived entitlements. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALIGNMENT
"And so, with time and practice, you will come to know, in every moment, your degree of alignment with who you really are, for when you are in full alignment with the energy of your Source, you thrive, and to the degree that you do not allow this alignment, you do not thrive." ~Esther and Jerry Hicks, Ask And It Is Given
THE REVELATION
Life has a way of revealing just what you need at the right time to do what you need to do. If you don’t see the revelation, it is not that life is against you! It’s simply that you didn’t see it.
You weren’t paying attention to what you needed to pay attention to. Don’t be distracted by things that don’t serve your growth and expansion.
Always listen to that inner voice of guidance that knows where you should be, who you should be with and what you should be doing.
You know this down deep inside; and yet, many of us bury that guidance in favor of what we think we need to do. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RUNNING AWAY
Running away from that which edifies you, keeps you in the current of growth and expansion and helps all of us be whom and what we were created to be, is never in your best interest.
No matter how your ego spins it, it is always better to be of service to others.
For in serving others, you come to know whom and what you are; the Divine in action! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HOW STUPID?
The only thing a total moron can do to validate his ignorance is to show everyone just how stupid he is.
These three have done a great job of demonstrating that stupidity loves company.
Birds of a feather do flock together because their air currents help support the flight of the others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SCIENCE IS LIMITED
We must all remember that science depends on the experience of the five physical senses ONLY. Any other ‘senses’ (the 6th mental ‘psychic’ sense and the 7th spiritual sense) are relegated to the realm that scientists create called ‘pseudo-science’. This is the way of their egos to elevate their worth over the rest of us based on their methods of reason.
In essence, in order for us to live by reason we must drop our awareness of what exists beyond the input of our five physical senses and ‘buy into’ what they are selling. They are selling ‘their’ concept of the appearance of the illusion of reality and not necessarily what actually exists.
Through the hypothetico deductive method, scientific experimentalists can observe, conclude and predict what exists based on the 'appearance' of the motion and integration of objects in time and space. It cannot observe what exists outside of the limited ranges of the five physical senses but can ‘infer ‘what is there by how ‘what can be observed’ reacts to what ‘cannot be observed’ and perceived.
By its own admission, scientists recognize the role of the experimenters’ consciousness in what they observe and consequently perceive. In order to be a person who lives in Divine Wholeness we must allow that which we don’t sense and understand to be available to our awareness. As many scientists use the old trick of basing reality on what their methods of understanding it reveal, the repeatedly use the word ‘only’.
Why? Because it elevates their supposed knowledge of reality over what we all feel is truly there. Don’t allow the restricted thinking of supposedly ‘knowledgeable’ people to supersede what is revealed to you by the Divine within. No matter how logical, reasonable or convincing others may be, live from your spiritual source and know what you need to know in order to fulfill your Divine purpose in Divine order.
Be the extension of Divine love that you are and NOT what anyone else suggests, coerces or demands that you should be. Only a fool listens to anyone who can’t see beyond the illusion of reality into the actuality of omniversal existence. Be ye therefore full of Divine wisdom. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ONE GOAL
We all have one spiritual goal; to live in our Divine purpose through Divine order.
The ego looks to the outside world to solve its problems and attain a state of peace.
Immersing yourself in the spirit within gives you the peace for everything externally to fall into place in Divine order.
Be ye therefore spiritual. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE ILLUSION
The illusion that we accept as reality is a projection of Divine love into the perceived dualistic reality of extremes between perceived polar opposites that compress and decompress waves of perceived and non-perceived energies.
In the spirit is the eternal existence of stillness and silence and in the illusion is the perceptions of various stages of chaos and order. Going within to the Source reveals the truth of existence.
As long as one lives in the illusion and operates from their limited senses and skewed perceptions from their belief systems, they will never come to know the depths of eternal peace, understanding and joy of living in Divine love.
It is in allowing that which is in actuality to guide what appears in reality that we come to live every day in Divine love everlasting. Be ye therefore actually real! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
The only way you know you're not on the wrong track is when you are on the right one! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Fear generates profits for those who are selfish. Love generates blessings for those who are caring. Which do you choose? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The pessimist complains about the wind.
The optimist expects it to change.
The realist adjusts the sails.
~William Arthur Ward
The spiritualist allows it be what is and to expect the best for all as a result. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
People who hurt animals will also hurt people. Our laws should reflect their resorting to violence; animal OR human! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PRAYER
Praying is talking to God; the moment you ask it is given. Why? Because it was already created! It was you who didn't have the awareness to see it or the presence of heart to feel it. Stop blaming things outside of yourself for the calamities that you alone are creating.
As for the concept of struggling, that is a choice that someone makes because they aren't aware enough of their own participation in their calamities, infirmities and apparent misfortunes.
We all contribute to our own demise until we awaken to how things work. Presumption on the part of those who pray is not presumption; it is presence of mind and the extension of Divine love.
If someone is unwilling to receive what edifies them, it is their choice. However, to negate what others do to help is not very mature, understanding or cooperative. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

MEDITATION
Meditation is listening to God; the moment you seek the Divine by stilling yourself, you will find inner peace. Why? Because the outer world of chaos is constantly bombarding you with conflicting impulses, distractions and experiences.
It is when you go within to seek inner peace that you come to understand just who and what you are in the grand scheme of things. You discover your Divine purpose in life and come to know that in sharing Divine love with others that you will live in complete joy.
Maturity means that you accept the responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions, behaviors; and that only from experiencing peace amid chaos, that you can know what you need to do and when your need to do it.
It’s called living in Divine order instead of meeting haphazard yearnings of your selfish ego. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SERVICE
Service means sharing your inner experience of Divine love with others. It means stepping out of your comfort zone and giving to others from what has blessed you.
It means sharing your talents, skills and abilities in order to edify another’s life. It is in the sharing of Divine love that we come to know our Divine purpose and it is in the receiving of Divine love from others that we align ourselves with Divine order.
Knocking on the inner door of someone’s heart and sharing that which has blessed you is living in Divine love. Whether they accept what you share or not the door has opened inward to your Divine heart of hearts.
Blessings abound when you share that which has blessed you. Living in Divine service to others creates more of the blessings that we have come to know in our lives. Talk to God in prayer. Listen to God in meditation.
Serve the Divine by sharing the blessings you have been given. When you practice all three daily, you are in constant communication with the Divine. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

FULFILLMENT
Fulfillment is a state of feeling an inner peace from the service you have provided to others. It is to achieve your potential or desires and reflecting on the good you have created. Ego fulfillment is satisfying the yearnings that drive you to take action. It is based on not only meeting your needs, but your superfluous wants as well.
Fulfilling the desires of your inner spirit comes from expecting them to manifest in Divine order perfectly. It doesn’t mean that you waiver between wants and desires and settle for whatever you can ‘get’. It means knowing that the Divine has planted seeds in your heart for you to germinate, feed and grow into complete fruition.
'De' in Latin means “of” and ‘sire’ means "the Father". Desires ARE ‘of the Father’ and it is up to you to fulfill them by recognizing from whence they came; praying for guidance; meditating to receive guidance from the still small voice of God; serving all of life with thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors that contribute to the growth and expansion of all; resulting in achieving an inner state of peace and fulfillment. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A VESSEL OF INFORMATION
I am blessed to be a vessel of information, even though my personality sometimes interferes.
I truly know that allowing, not resisting, is the way for all of us to live in peace.
Not that we allow that which hurts others; that we allow the Divine to work through us for positive change for all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FIND SERVICE PROVIDERS
HERE AND NOW
Why are you here and now? Is it because you were there then? Or is it because you can feel being there then? If where you are going is fulfilling what you have done then, could it be that what you are doing now occurred then and will occur again?
Where you are going comes from where you have been; it is in being here now that we instill peace in the knowing that when you feel the joy of being there, you will justify where you have come from in order to be here now. What has occurred is occurring and will occur again.
Being here in the now affords you the opportunity to understand and know that eternity might appear to flow linearly, when in actuality, the end result is what has created where you are now and where you have been in order to fulfill its own purpose. Be ye therefore cyclical! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SELLING MOTHER NATURE
When will we start recognizing and respecting the wealth we all have in human capital? When will we acknowledge the inherent talents, skills and abilities of our brothers and sisters to co-create peace, understanding, joy and Divine love HERE on Earth? When will we stop ‘tolerating’ others that are different; as if we are ‘better’ than them, their societies or their religions?
We have been marketed to all of our lives by ruthless corporations who consist of people who choose to exploit us by distracting us from what they are doing. We are bombarded with billboards, Internet ads, TV and radio commercials about the ‘glory’ of buying and using their products and services. Some of these corporations specifically target our children in their susceptible developmental ages in order to squeak the dollars out of our wallets.
It’s truly the old ‘bait and switch’ routine with multi-colored masks and dressings designed to make them ‘appear’ as if they are out for out better interests; when, in fact, they are out for their bottom lines! Advertising agencies know the psychology of the individual. They KNOW how to push the right buttons in the right sequence to get you to buy from their clients. Their purposeful deceptions have been what have created the greatest income extravaganza in corporate history.
Do you know that there are multi-national companies in this world that are trying to initiate private ownership of every cubic foot of air in our atmosphere and every gallon of water in our oceans, lakes and streams? If these current ‘natural’ resources are permitted to be owned, then what? Can you imagine that nature itself can be bought and sold at auction to unscrupulous and greedy individuals who don’t give a damn about life at all?
We are allowing our beautiful, wondrous and life-giving planet Earth to be put up for sale and we do NOTHING about it!!! Capitalism by itself will rape, pillage and steal every natural resource we enjoy free of charge! They will end up charging us to experience nature itself. Only by the current mix we have now of 40% Socialism are we able to keep the people aware of what the unscrupulous, greedy and evil people are doing to molest our natural resources.
Socialism by itself downplays individual initiative and when mixed with Capitalism creates a society whereby the people actual play a more active role in what can be bought and sold on this planet. Don’t allow the Capitalistic greed mongers the permission to buy and sell nature at their whim and charge us to experience it. Stand up for out Mother Earth and not only say “NO!” to the selfish, but step in and say “YES!” to our collective good. Be ye therefore aware!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
IT IS EASIER
It is easier for a rich man to pay no taxes, than it is for a middle class worker to organize and establish a union. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is easier for a middle class person to strike it rich, than it is for a poor person to receive minimal health care. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is easier for a poor person to understand love, than it is for a rich person to open their hearts to the point where they can give and receive love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is easier for a fat, slovenly and rich millionaire radio talk show host to talk bullshit, than it is for the common person to express what they are going through and it fall on responsive ears. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is easier for a governor with presidential aspirations to lie through his teeth, than it is to admit that he looked the other way when his staff carried out his will. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

REACHED MY LIMIT
I have about reached my limit with some people who post items without verifying their veracity. I have been accused of this more than once; however I make the time to verify what I post unless I am expressing humorous occurrences.
Accepting a supposed truth without verifying its veracity and validity is tantamount to laziness, not truly caring or simply being too concerned with fostering your opinion regardless of the facts.
As a result, the next time I see an opinion without the facts to back it up, I will be posting the following statement in the thread to the person making the statement. I am not trying be challenging here; I want the truth.
The only way to get to the truth is through introspection, truthful dialogue and mutual respect for one’s viewpoint on an issue. Peace and may you ALWAYS know the complete truth!
“I have been known to get quite acerbic with opinions stated as facts. However, in the spirit of being a better person, I have the following request: As per the facts you just stated, would you please send links to the sites where it says what you have stated and I will check it them out and verify their veracity in the library. I sincerely hope that we will both learn from this interaction and I will report back to you what I find in the library. Peace and mutual growth and expansion for all. Thank you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.”

DEMAGOGUERY
I have been accused by a ‘friend’ of practicing demagoguery. Hmmm. Does he even know what it truly means? Or is he just trying to elevate his ego to the point where people pay attention to his self-centered attempt at having something worthwhile to say.
Demagoguery is the methods or practices of a person, especially an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people [dictionary.com].
Now, if the person who is a demagogue is doing this to elevate his own ego, much the same as the person making the accusation against me, then it is only for the person’s self interest.
If he had truly read the meaning of what I had said then he would know the truth in the fact that you can create the life you desire by allowing it to unfold in Divine order; the furthest thing from demagoguery. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR
“A warrior is a person engaged or experienced in warfare; a soldier. It is one who wages war; a person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness” [dictionary.com].
A warrior is a person who accepts and promotes fighting something or someone as a means of conflict resolution. By developing superior power over another, one assumes they will be victorious in overcoming perceived obstacles, impediments and others.
Fighting is the ego’s instantaneous reaction to having its self-survival being threatened. If it reacts with resistance, then it will not allow what it perceives to take hold. Fighting is channeling this fear of self-survival into attacking another as a form of self-defense. It is moving toward the perception of the threat and meeting it head on.
The other reaction of fear is flight. When the fear of what is perceived becomes too much to handle, one will move away from the source of that fear in order to survive; to live another day and process the fear. There is a third choice. Instead of reacting with fight or flight, one can stand their ground by allowing the perception of threats and reactions of fear to pass through by allowing it to be what it is. This doesn’t mean that you don’t get out of the way of an oncoming car; it means that AFTER your fight/flight reaction to the perception of fear you do not emotionalize it to the point where it dominates your perceptions of life.
It means that in being proactive in your experiences you come to know that what occurs in your experience are benchmarks of your individual progress in unfolding your Divine purpose in Divine order. Fighting IS resisting. Knowing is allowing. Trusting in the Divine is engaging the omniversal mechanism of Divine order to keep you safe from harm while you express your individual well-being. Carl Jung emphatically said, “What you resist persists.” Whatever you acknowledge and push against will keep occurring until you learn to allow it to be what it is.
When you maintain a warrior mentality, one that fights, resists and has to ‘overcome’, you will continually be subjected to scenarios that reinforce that mentality until you learn to let it pass through you without attaching any subsequent emotions to them. What you allow is in the now. Yes, protect yourself from physical, emotional, mental and spiritual harm; but don’t let your reactions rule your life. Stop fighting and resisting that which you perceive is out to challenge you, hurt you or destroy you.
Allow it to be what it is and stop trying to overcome it. Overcoming implies a fight or a struggle against something you perceive can harm you, is harming you or will harm you. Like Mother Teresa once said when asked to go to an Anti-War rally. She said she wouldn’t go but she would go to a Pro-Peace rally. Choose to behave in the ways that are life-giving and not life-debilitating. Be ye therefore a lover and facilitator of peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
RIGHT TO WORK
'Right to Work' is the government allowing the corporations to determine how they employ, maintain and discharge their employees.
When employees work for corporations they are facilitating the business of the corporation and should NOT be taxed for their wages.
The corporations should be taxed for the business they conduct in this country. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ANIMAL WELFARE
RELIGION
Religion comes from the Latin word 'religio'; a binding together of people with common BELIEFS! Beliefs are NOT facts. They are opinions about the facts.
When you teach ‘opinion’ over teaching someone how to research the facts on their own, you are trying to proselytize others into you way of thinking.
People do this to reinforce what they believe by planting the seeds of belief in others and facilitating their growth.
Don’t be conned by what others believe; be informed by what you observe, perceive and know by diligently validating what is presented as ‘truth’.
If not, you are living in a world of belief and not one of knowing. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
STUPIDITY
Stupidity is insisting on doing something a certain way because you believe it is the right way without knowing all of the subsequent repercussions.
Wisdom is in knowing enough to trust in that which keeps you in perfect peace, an all encompassing understanding, an eternal joy and a blissful existence in Divine love.
A stupid person believes in and resists that which it doesn’t understand and a wise person knows and allows that which surpasses all understanding. Be ye therefore wise! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CONSULTATION
EVER-PRESENT
Always remember that everything about you is love. You were created with love, created in love and exist as the extension and fulfillment of love.
Well-being is ever-present in your life; it is you that misinterprets what it is revealing to you. Let go of what you fear and ‘faith(e) (as a verb)’ in trusting the Divine implicitly.
Be ye therefore love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TRUTH AND JUSTICE
Truth and justice are never adjudicated when those who decide about the facts presented are paid to look the other way.
Corruption of our system is the result of too much greed, not enough regulations and consequences that are plea bargained out.
Too many people look the other way and never get involved because they believe their voice will never be heard and they will suffer repercussions.
Turning away seals their fate of living in mediocrity more than they realize. It takes all of us to stop that which hurts all of us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOUR REPUTATION
Your reputation might be tarnished by liars, but always know your character is intact when you have told the truth and helped others.
No matter what anyone says or does to cause you harm, create a false picture of who you are or go out of their way to tarnish your reputation, if you have been loyal to the truth you have already won.
They just don’t know it yet. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A PERFECT CREATION
You are a perfect creation of the Divine. What you communicate to the Divine is between you and the Divine and no one else.
Keep that communication private and share the joy of that communication only. Beautiful expressions are the result of your communication being quiet as it’s kept.
Be ye therefore private. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT WE ARE
What separates us from whom and what we are is our belief that we are other than the Divine in action.
We are an extension of Divine love; molded and created to share Divine love everlasting.
Until we reach that understanding and begin to express and share that Divine love with others, we will encounter one situation and problem after another until we come to the complete realization that we are Divine love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LOVE IS IN HOW YOU SHARE IT
Love is not what you make it. Love IS in how you share it. Love is the creative force of the entire omniverse.
If you so choose to not use that force to create beauty in the lives of others and yourself, it reveals that your actions are misguided, selfish and self-aggrandizing.
Give to others what they desire and your desires will be met. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIMITING PROOFS
When you limit the proofs of an argument to what can only be sensed by your five physical senses, then it is not proof that you seek; only ego fulfillment. Your beliefs are what fool you because they are based on your limited perceptions; which, in turn, are based on your limited senses.
If you cannot see that, then that's the reason why! Being open to experiencing that which is beyond your physical senses shows that your mental ‘psychic’ sense has developed to the point of crucial expansion enough to consider other energies beyond the limited ranges of your senses.
Seeking and living in internal peace amid external chaos is developing your spiritual ‘sense’; the sense that knows and appreciates stillness and listens to Divine guidance in silence.
See beyond your limitations and know that which aligns your life with ongoing well-being. It is in sharing Divine love that our awareness of our other senses blossoms. Be ye therefore open to that which you cannot see. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

FINDING FAULT
If you are always finding fault with others then it reveals that you are focused on the negative more than the positive. NOT ALWAYS TRUE!!! If you try to see what’s right about another and it’s hard to find, then something else is obviously apparent.
Sometimes what's right about another is overshadowed by what's wrong with them because they won't allow themselves to realize that others' only point out what's wrong when they feel it's hurting them and others.
Recognizing aberrance is NOT condoning it, always looking for it or creating it because it is hidden in you. Aberrance exists when others allow their egos to rule their lives and they succumb to their egos’ selfish demands.
When someone allows the Spirit of God to guide them they do what helps others and themselves by sharing Divine love and NOT inflicting their selfish behaviors upon others.
See things for how they are and not how they appear to be. Be ye therefore observant, responsive and caring. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPIRIT EXPRESSES DUALISM
Spirit expresses dualism; it is not a part of it, it is the Source of it! The ego's realm is the perceived dualistic reality where polar opposites 'appear' to exist. In actuality, reality, as we see it, is borne from actuality and it is inextricably tied to from whence it came. There is NO separation from Source; only the ‘appearance’ of it as viewed by our limited senses. Our observations, perceptions and conclusions of reality are predicated on something that does not take ‘everything’ into account.
Would you decide to buy a house and pay for it for 30 years without getting a building inspector’s report on the durability of the house? Only a fool believes while a wise person knows. Viewing reality as being ‘how it is’ without sensing the entire picture is ludicrous at best; yet many simply say, “seeing is believing.” True, however, having ‘vision’ to see beyond what appears to be real is truly ‘knowing’. The key is in actively using your imagination to open your mind and heart to the possibilities that exist outside of your limited five physical senses.
Einstein stated this clearly; “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Smile and remove yourself from people who argue for their ignorance. You will never convince them of what they won’t allow themselves to see.
Tunnel vision comes from living in mediocrity and security in their ‘comfort zone’. In order to leave yours you must be willing and able to stretch your imagination into the wisdom of the omniverse. Your active use of your imagination is the key that opens the door inward to all that is, all that was and all that ever will be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPIRITUAL BOOKS
PERFECTLY DIVINE
We are born perfect divine beings who are taught to believe that we aren't. We accept that which isn't true in order to fit in with the others that believe that we are imperfect.
Our longing for the safety and security of being accepted as part of the community overrides the divine knowingness within each and every one of us because we choose to fear being that which is real instead of having faith in it.
When we choose to believe that we are not divine and must perform acts to be divine is when we have deceived ourselves.
Allowing Divine grace to lead our minds and hearts is our unconditional understanding of the blessings of Divine love everlasting. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEFS
Beliefs come AFTER you have repeatedly thought about something as being true and accept it as true. They come from observation, perceptions and evaluation of information that you deem is true by virtue of your eternal experience.
If you base your beliefs on what you sense and perceive only, you are NOT seeing the entire picture of reality. Discharge any and all erroneous beliefs from the external world and immerse yourself in the ‘knowing’ of the inner world.
Deep within your heart is where the truth of all existence resides if you would but let it speak to you in Divine silence. Be still and KNOW God! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SIMULTANEOUSLY
Life is for the living. Death is for the dying. Now is for your being. In the moment you ask for something, it is given. Both what you want and don’t want occur simultaneously.
It is what you focus on that creates the allowance within you to either have something or not have something. Get out of your own way and trust in the Divine completely to manifest your desires.
God has planted those desires in your heart for you to be fulfilled and live in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love everlasting. Stop beating yourself up with concepts and beliefs that don’t serve your best interests.
Be ye therefore full of life! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEYOND BELIEF
You are that which is beyond belief! Beliefs are nothing more than repeated thoughts that you accept as true.
What you are is beyond all belief. What you are is the knowing of the Divine that expresses itself in the now. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
You might claim that you have no time to do what you want to do. The fact of the matter is, that you have all the time in the world!
Time is but an illusion that allows you to see your life unfolding and progressing in a forward, linear direction.
Being in the now allows you to know that you are eternal. And when you are eternal, time, no longer exists. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BENEFITTING LIFE
Living in such a way as to benefit all of life is what we are here to do.
Doing anything else is a digression of our collective purpose.
Focus on that which edifies life and not that which diminishes it.
Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WAKING UP DEAD
One day you will wake up dead. Dead in your physical body, yet alive in your spirit. It is then you will know that you HAD all of the gifts available to you during the course of your life.
Will you come back again? Or will you continue to exist as you are? The point is, is that you have that eternal spirit within you right now.
Why not live from that spirit? Why not stop worrying about what is going to happen and start living right here now?
This is what is eternal; and this is what truly matters! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
When you stack the deck and fudge the data you will always find the conclusions you are seeking. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The ego has its place; keep it there by allowing the Spirit of God to guide you to behave in ways that bless yourself and others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Truth is neither that which appears to be real or that which doesn't. It IS the all encompassing presence of that which IS! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D
The spirit is naturally still and silent; go within and embrace it to experience that which is Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The more sensitive the sniffer, the more pungent the odor! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Reason is NOT the 'only' cure. Reason is the alternative to ignorance. Love is the cure! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEVING
When you choose to believe what humankind says over what the Divine reveals you are destined to become what you believe more than what you know you are within.
Stop believing what others say or write; know the truth from the Divine within by stilling your mind and listening to God's voice of silence deep in your heart. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
