STOP! Whatever you are doing, STOP! Take a deep breath and KNOW that you can make the decision right now to allow the unfolding of your Divine purpose to be manifested in Divine order. Everything that is happening around you is just that; external occurrences resulting from internal actions. Why not align your life with what you were created to be, do and ‘have’? Make the decision to commit all of your internal actions to manifesting the external occurrences that are serving your Divine purpose!
Don’t allow the whims, suggestions and opinions of others determine whom and what you are; be whom and what you were created to be RIGHT NOW! See the path unfold before you and walk boldly on that path and Divine providence will be there with you every step of the way. It’s all in the DECISION that the entire power of the omniverse will be at your disposal. If you are wishy-washy or waffling at all, it will NEVER happen. Only when you consciously ‘cut-off’ all other ‘possibilities’ and move toward the actualization of your innermost dreams will they begin to unfold in Divine order.
You have the power to make the choice to fulfill your individual destiny. Stop making excuses as to why you can’t and make declarations as to why you ‘have’ to! It is why you were created; be that, love that and live that. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
OVERTHROW OUR EGOS?
Some have said that we need to overthrow our egos. Overthrowing our egos implies using the ego's perception of power to 'make' something happen.
Sublimating our egos comes from 'allowing' the Divine to guide us no matter what the ego commands. Forcing something to happen through the use of what one perceives as their own power of self-survival is a perception of controlling, dominating and manipulating.
Allow the grace of the Divine to move through your ego to keep it in its place. It has a job to do and so do you in manifesting your Divine purpose in Divine order. Allow a balance in your life between self-preservation and self-growth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT LIES BEYOND
Consciousness observes the illusion of relationships between objects in a perceived dualistic reality. The perceptions that we intake are actually copies of what we have ‘perceived’ and we ‘imagine’ that our external reality exists when in fact, it is all our inner perception of ‘copies’ of the perceived dualistic reality. If this is so, then the only ‘true’ experience we have is our internal relationship with the Divine.
The Divine exists ‘beyond’ our abilities to ‘perceive’. When our thoughts are minimized, our feelings are released, our words are silenced, our actions are nullified and our behaviors are motionless, we go beyond the perception of our senses and enter the realm of Divine understanding. It is here that we experience the ‘true’ reality of spirit. Deep within each and every one of us is a well-spring of information, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. It is there for us all to experience and utilize in the manifestation of our Divine purpose in Divine order.
As we go about our daily lives seek to remember this. At any moment we can slow down and experience our inner world to gain a true perspective on our outer world. We are beings of light; the point of stillness that expresses the pure energy of love that connects everything in the entire omniverse. It is always there within us, nurturing us and guiding us. It is up to us to ‘tap’ into it amid the external chaos we perceive. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Each and every day we are touched by the inner spirit and know what we need to do. Do we listen? Or do we listen and not act? Do we completely trust in what we feel is being revealed to us? Or do we dismiss it or intellectualize it away?
Every day we are given thoughts, images, words and revelations from the Divine. Do we act on them? Or do we choose to not believe that they are gifts from the Divine? Does our ego see them as threatening to our self-survival? Or do we simply allow the inner spirit to guide our thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors to manifest our Divine purpose in Divine order?
We are always connected to the inner spirit and we simple need to get out of our own way to channel the bounty of the omniverse into our lives and into the lives of others. We are always connected and NEVER separated. Operate from that experience and you will align yourself with Divine will.
Be a radio receiver and tune into the Infinite Spirit Channel within. You will be amazed at what unfolds for the best of all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Those who point out the judgment of others are judging themselves for the lack of understanding they have about life in general. We have the ability to judge our thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors for a reason. That reason is that we need to evaluate what works for us in the unfolding of our Divine purpose and make ‘value’ judgments as to whether or not we need to remove them from our personalities.
We were instructed NOT to judge others because we have NOT lived their experiences and have no basis in fact as to what they need to do to manifest their Divine purpose in Divine order. It is simply not our business; if we make it our business, we, in turn, will be judged.
Waving the ongoing flag of non-judgment reveals that a person does not completely understand the truth of just what judgment is. It is a gift to be used wisely in our lives and not in relation to the actions and behaviors of others. Evaluate the circumstances, discern the truth and judge what is good for you in YOUR life; but NOT in others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

The ultimate physical expression of the Divine light within is manifested in the words, "I Love You." It is sharing your inner heart energy and focusing it toward the object of your affection. It is encouraging, supportive and uplifting. It reveals whom and what you are and it aligns you with your Divine purpose. We are the expression of love and when we share that expression with others, we are eternally blessed. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our egos recognize fear and use it to control, dominate and manipulate our actions in order to protect ourselves from perceived 'harm'. It is in our ability to manage our egos and to sublimate its reactions into Divine pro-actions that we truly attain an effective balance in our lives. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is in what we do with what we have that reveals our true character. It is not in what we have attained, where we have arrived or what we have acquired that demonstrates our faith and intent, but in how we shared love with others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Separation is the field in which the ego plays. Without good and bad, black and white and higher and lower, the ego has NO power to influence our decisions. The ego has three levels of power that it uses to manage our self-survival at all costs: control, domination and manipulation.
What is control? It is a perception that we need to restrain or direct someone or something to manifest our desired result because there are too many variables that could change our desired outcome. It is the first level of the ego’s expressed power that sneaks in under the guise of self-survival. The next level of the ego’s expressed power is to dominate someone or something in order to manage their behaviors to ensure our desired outcome.
What is domination? It is the state where we decide that we have the knowledge to rule over or govern events, circumstances, situations, occurrences and people. We feel that we have more value than someone else and we now begin to feel we are superior to others. This mindset leads to the next level of the ego’s expressed power; manipulation.
Manipulation is the state where we feel we have superior knowledge and understanding. As a result, we feel we have the right to skillfully manage and influence the thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors of others by supplying them with the information we need for them to fulfill our desired outcome. It is where our agenda is more important than the truth. The ego now has reinforced itself enough to where it looks to itself as the master of its own destiny; it becomes its own God.
How many successful people and governmental leaders have you seen that exemplify these characteristics? The world is full of people that are full of themselves and feel they have ‘THE’ way for everyone to live in order to fulfill their selfish desires. Stop placating the selfish desires of the ego and move towards Oneness with the Spirit of God within. Stop feeling threatened by everything that occurs in your environment!
Each and every time that you doubt, worry about or fear the outcome of events, circumstances, situations, occurrences and the behaviors of people, you give an energy boost to your ego. By choosing ‘the dark side’ you are giving your true power away to a construct of your being that has one job and one job alone; your self-survival!
It is not the be all and end all of your whole life. It is an integral part of it that you need to protect yourself from expressions in your environment that could ‘potentially’ harm you; not ‘definitely’ harm you! Trusting completely in the Spirit of God to unfold your Divine purpose in Divine order is the best way to check the ego’s perceived ability to control, dominate and manipulate everything in your environment. It naturally occurs when you make the time each and every day to go within in deep meditation to commune with the Divine.
Without these regular and consistent ‘dates with the Divine’ we naturally feel overcome with the stresses of the world. Develop your romance with your Creator each and every day. Look forward to those times of divine communication and they will bathe you with the Divine perspective that what you ‘cannot’ control is the greatest blessing of all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEFS OF SEPARATION
We exist everyday in a perceived dualistic reality that fosters a belief in separation from the Divine. Our egos use the tools of control, domination and manipulation to elevate their value to our own sense of perceived ‘Godhood’.
Letting go of the ego’s perceived ability to control, dominate and manipulate events, circumstances, situations, occurrences and the behaviors of others while allowing the Spirit of God to guide us brings us into the manifestation of our Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
START WHERE YOU ARE
Start where you are. One of the biggest deceptions that we choose to believe is that we have it undo past choices and conditions in order to ‘start’ something we wish to manifest.
Your past has occurred and unfolded in the manner it has in order for you to get to this point right now. Be thankful for past occurrences and ‘reframe’ their manifestation as what you needed to experience in order to make the decision to start where you are right now.
Your thoughts and ideas create your beliefs. Your beliefs create your words and actions. Your words create your experience and actions. Your actions create your behaviors and the manifestation of your desires.
Why not set the tone for the future unfolding of your Divine purpose in Divine order? Start where you are. There is an unseen ‘magic’ in taking that bold step. Take it NOW! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SERVING EACH OTHER
Every day we come here to wash each other’s feet. We come to serve each other with the joy we share from knowing our Creator.
It is our passion, our uncontrollable desire and our way of ‘connecting’ with each other and the entire world. We are One with each other through the Divine Creator of all life.
Serve with distinction with every breath and the bounty of the omniverse is yours. We are blessed! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIVE IN THE PRESENT
If we choose to live in the present, then we will be able to discipline ourselves to live with one another peaceably and WITHOUT arms.
It starts with teaching our children respect for others and not feeding their little egos with false sensibilities that make them selfish and inconsiderate of others where they regress to the point that they feel they NEED to arm themselves.
Always choosing to fight and resist teaches them the wrong message. How about teaching them to listen and reject what doesn't contribute to the growth and expansion of all and still be able to manifest their dreams and feelings of security?
An adult chooses to handle things in an adult manner. Choose wisely. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Want a good life? Become who you were created to be. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? The simplicity is removed by the complexity of our perceptions guided by egos. We want to get ‘ahead’ of the ‘game’. We want to ‘accomplish’ more and more. We want to be ‘recognized’ or admired for what we do. In reality, it’s all a shell game by the ego to keep us distracted from manifesting our Divine purpose in Divine order?
Why would our egos do this? Because they want comfort, security and safety. It is the ego’s job of self-survival at ALL costs. Stretch out of your comfort zone and abandon mediocrity. The only way to move from ‘survive’ to ‘thrive’ is to ‘strive’; strive to be whom and what you were created to be by trusting in the Divine completely. It is the only way out of a mediocre existence. As the saying goes, “Don't die with your music still inside you. ~Wayne Dyer once said, "Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find what passion stirs your soul.” ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT LOVE?
Want love? Share it, give it, live it, be it. When the Divine shares love with you it is incumbent upon you to share it with everyone, give it to those in need, live it every day of your life and to exist as the embodiment of Divine love. It is the greatest gift and is meant to be transformed through you into your world.
Holding it close to your vest because you doubt, worry or fear its loss negates its Divine purpose. You must invest it in your life and the lives of others to reap the benefits of living your Divine purpose in Divine order.
Love is the fuel that runs the engine of life. You are the driver. Step on the gas and move forward to your Divine destination. Remember, when you run out of gas go to the gas station (the Divine Source) and fill up your tank! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT PEACE?
Want peace? Detach yourself from the outcome. Peace is a state of assuredness where you accept and enjoy the state you’re in and are in agreement with the outcome. When you try to steer the wheel on your journey as to ‘how’ things will manifest, you become attached to an outcome in such a way as to make the ‘how’ it happens more important than it even happening.
Being attached to an outcome and how you get there creates tension and stress because your ego needs to control, dominate and manipulate your thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors in order to create your outcome ‘the way it sees fit’! This is not conducive to living in peace.
When you detach yourself from outcomes and completely trust in the Divine to manifest your Divine purpose in Divine order, you attain an ongoing state of peace that in itself, creates the best to happen for all concerned.
Remember, “Peace is not the absence of chaos, peace is the ability to remain calm in the face of chaos” ~Unknown. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT UNDERSTANDING?
Want understanding? Listen to the still small voice of God. Retreat from the chaos of the outer world and go within to your center of peace where distractions and agendas dissolve into obscurity.
Shut down the outer world and feel the inner world. Slow down your breathing and meditate on the presence of the Divine. It is there you will hear God’s voice of silence healing you and guiding you to manifest your Divine purpose in Divine order.
Commune with the Divine daily and be the love you were created to be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT SIMPLICITY?
Want simplicity? Get rid of what you don’t want and keep what you do. Stop trying to please some self-inflicted emotional image of yourself and align yourself with Divine order. Focus on what’s really important in your life and don’t let anyone stop you from manifesting your Divine purpose. It is whom and what you were created to be so remove the distractions and the manipulations of others from your emotional reservoir.
Let them pass through you without any obstruction and as quickly as they came they will leave. It is when you ‘emotionally attach’ your feelings to distractions and manipulations that they succeed in removing your focus. Stay focused and on point. Be the divine being you are and EXPECT the best to happen for all in Divine order.
Be a part of sharing Divine love instead of sitting in your inner sanctum and reflecting on it. Both are important in positively contributing to the growth and expansion of everyone into manifesting their Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
