When any one of us experiences the true love of the Divine, our healthy reaction is to want others to experience it as well. We come to know that unconditional love is for ALL and we also know that how we love each other has NOTHING to do with experiencing Divine love.
When we allow our individual fears to control our beliefs we have lost the battle before it has even started. The battle is to allow the Divine to operate through us unfettered by the agenda of the ego. God has created each and every one of us AS WE ARE and we have NO right to pass judgment on anyone else for how they love another.
It is not our place, nor our duty. God rules this omniverse and NOT us! We are allowed to co-create because we are his children, but not allowed to tell others how to live their lives. Leave those who love each other alone in ‘how’ they love each other. Be loving and kind and stop trying to legislate your ego’s version of ‘morality’. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MY RANTS
I am so sorry if I have offended anyone by my rants tonight. I have just reached my limit of others who don't know their a** from a hole in the ground trying to tell me 'what the Bible says' and they don't even know what it says at all. It's one thing to believe what it says and another to practice what it says.
If you take anything at all from what Jesus Christ says then take this: Yeshua said to him, “You shall love THE LORD JEHOVAH your God from all your heart and from all your soul and from all your power and from all your mind.
The Ten Commandments are based on these two commandments. They are the secret to living a full life of love in harmony with the entire omniverse. Peace and blessings to all of you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
JUDGMENT
What some define as 'judgment' is my discernment of others' aberrant behavior against 'all of us'.
I am not saying for them to be ridiculed or punished, but for them to be identified for the liars and manipulators that they are.
If you feel that I am 'judging' others, then I suggest you take a look at your 'judgment' of me and my exposure of their ‘behaviors’. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you base your life on judging others you are inherently trying to impose ridicule (harsher than light-hearted comedic teasing) and/or punishment on them for their aberrant behaviors. You feel that what they are doing is wrong based on your perspective and that you insist or demand that they have consequences for their actions.
However, when you base your life on discernment you can ‘identify’ the aberrant behaviors of others without demanding ridicule and or punishment for their aberrant behaviors and love the divine spirit within them. You can express both judgment and discernment emotionally but the ‘outcome’ is ultimately ‘different’.
Among many ‘New Thought’ people these feelings of judgment or thoughts of discernment are considered as issues that you have within you that you need to resolve. Horseshit!!! If you have an issue with someone else’s behavior when that behavior is falsely leading others to make decisions that will ultimately hurt them and others, it is NOT an issue you have to overcome. It is simply an ‘issue’ that you won’t allow in your life. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!
Don’t allow those with their limited perspectives on judgment and discernment lead you down a primrose path. Know that you have been given the gifts of judgment AND discernment to navigate through your life. Use them appropriately and they will yield results that will contribute to the growth and expansion of all; not like what is displayed by those with aberrant behavior who continually try to control, dominate and manipulate others for their own gain. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Elizabeth and I would like to invite you all to our site ‘Service In Prayer’. For many months we have been led to offer a way for our online friends to have a forum to share our prayer needs with each other.
The purpose of this website is to connect with one another and share our needs for healing in whatever areas we feel we need. Please visit the website or go to the Facebook forum to post any public prayers on the Wall or PM us for private prayers.
We will pray for you or help you to find Prayer Partners to assist you in healing and realization of your Divine purpose and the unfolding of it in Divine order.

OUR PAST ISSUES
Did you miss any of the issues of The Spirituality Post Daily? If so, following are the links to each and every day for you to peruse. Please visit our advertisers and help us to keep going in our service to the spiritual community of souls who long for a greater spiritual perspective on life. God bless you and your families! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The Christian Right is the biggest egotistical group of FOOLS I have EVER encountered. For those who now claim I shouldn’t judge, why don’t you attack them for judging what we believe and our right to believe it? Stop being so placid and foolish! They will continue to enforce their agendas upon all of us until you stand up and say, “This shit don’t flush!!!”
Take the gifts of the spirit you have and put a stop to these egomaniacal assholes who think that what they believe is all that and what the rest of us believe is insignificant at best. Being progressive and loving doesn’t mean that you lie down and play dead. Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers to make his point. He was angry at what they were doing and he ACTED!!! He didn’t take their shit sitting down; he took ACTION!!!
If you seek to be Christ-like then take up you cross and ram it down the throats of the liars that seek to undermine our freedoms to believe and act according to our accepted social contract. I am not speaking of violence; I am speaking of calling out the liars for what they are; sons of evil that mean to harm us and not support us. Wake up and smell the stench of their backwards thinking and put a stop to it! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

LIVING WITH YOURSELF
Do you know who your father is? Are you aware that you were given the gift of life to express Divine love into this world? Do you realize just how powerful you are as a co-creator of love? Have you taken the time to share Divine love into your life and the lives of others?
The Spirit of God has always been within you, is within you now and will always be within you. Know this, embrace your Divine purpose and express it in Divine order. Stop listening and practicing what distracters and false prophets profess is the truth and allow the Spirit of God to operate through you every day.

Capital comes in many forms. So fill out the forms! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
See the good in others and the good in you will come alive. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you keep repeating a lie enough, you will convince some people that it is the truth. Why? Because it's easier for the mediocre to believe than it is to think, research and discern. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What’s the problem with our youth? It’s the dumbing down of our children by the financial manipulators who want a generation of people who will NEVER question authority or have the skills to discern what they are doing behind our backs to financially enslave us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When people elevate themselves to Godhood by judging a living and breathing human being who expresses love, they prove to all that it is their ego that is God to them and not the Divine Infinite Spirit of God that is within all of us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Be comforted, dear friends. The Spirit of God within you is invincible and loves you more than anyone else will ever know. Love the spirit as the spirit loves you and your life will be replete with an abundance of blessings! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Be true to the spirit of the law, and not the letter of the law. When you use a book to whip game over the lives of people who trust in you, you are evil at best! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is better to walk in your rain shoes on a cloudy day than to expect your sandals to keep your feet dry if it rains. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE BIG FACADE
Austerity and deregulation stifles growth and expansion by fooling the public into believing it works when in fact it works as a facade for its practitioners to make 'more money' while the common folk live in austerity.
A bill of goods created by liars and thieves who take advantage of those who don't know what they are doing. Wake up and learn that austerity works as a platform for the politicians to convince us of their veracity while they set themselves up to siphon off the cream from the top.
Only those who balance steady growth with unfettered expansion will reap the benefits of a healthy and effective economy. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RACIST BRAINS?
The real difference in the racist brain and the brains of non-racists is that the racist brain isn't being used to educate itself; it just listens to what others tell it is the truth and it is so lazy and mediocre that it won't learn the truth. When you look outside for differences that separate you from reality, you are focused on division and not unification. When you look outside to identify differences and seek to unify us with the truth, you are focused on our unity in diversity. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TRUE HAPPINESS
Being everything and nothing simultaneously, concurrently and exponentially is the key to true happiness.
When you align yourself with Divine order you understand that everything that you perceive, conceive and retrieve is all from the same source.
Then, and only then, will you be happy for the way things are and for your part in the grand scheme of things. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE PATH TO HEAVEN
If you truly want to understand what Christ said was the only path to heaven, then you must put your instruction manual down and get up off of your ever widening ass and go out into your community to serve.
Christ was clear in his description of how to live in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now. Serve the poor, the young and the downtrodden. Give of the blessings you have received and you will live in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now.
Any other ‘path’ to ‘heaven’, whether read about, learned from some preacher or experienced under stress, is a distraction from the truth. Reject all others who serve their individual egotistical masters who elevate their instruction manuals to godhood and embrace those who give of themselves to others in need.
These are the children of God who truly ‘get it’. They are living in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE ACT OF DIVINE LOVE
Strive to be the answer to the prayers of others by allowing the Divine to work through you to be a blessing to them. The Divine moves us to be at the right place, at the right time, in the right circumstances and with the right people to effect positive change when we trust completely in the best to unfold for all concerned.
If you see someone in need and you cannot help to fulfill their need then pray that their need is fulfilled perfectly in Divine order. In the act of extending Divine love you bless not only them, but yourself as well.
You become the act of Divine love by becoming the instrument of manifestation and you contribute to the purging of negativity in your environment AND in their environment. This is truly being pro-active and mature.
Always use Divine love to heal the infirmities of others and your infirmities will disappear. In the act of giving and sharing is the Divine blessing of love that heals us all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ON A THRONE?
The Divine Infinite Spirit that has created the entire omniverse. However, some choose to believe that God ‘sits on a throne’ and is an old man with a white beard hurling lightning bolts at the wicked, evil and sinful.
They need to realize that they are living in an anal retentive life where they parrot some preacher on a soap box spouting platitudes that have absolutely no basis in fact.
Their lack of understanding and obvious right wing agenda manifestation shows how weak their hand is and how it just doesn’t make ANY sense.
Someday they will face their maker and they will learn just how wrong they were. Until then, allow them to have a great life sitting while they sit on their shoulders. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What is it about the human experience that affords us the gift that we can recognize musical and artistic patterns that reveal the entirety of the art forms expression? It is like a hologram that reveals the entire picture from one small slice of that picture. Is it a Divine blessing or is it the interplay between the hemispheres in our brains?
Whichever it is, we have the ability to ‘feel’ our way through the forest by attuning ourselves to a tree. The individual tree contains the absorption of its environment and relays the historical account of its existence. It is what we can ‘tap into’ to understand what the whole picture contains. That’s why we ‘recognize’ or ‘again become aware of’ an entire expression from a small slice of ‘reality’.
The Music of the Spheres are the vibrational emanations or frequencies of the orbs in the omniverse that create a symphony of ‘sounds’ that join in the celestial chorus of our lives. We are inextricably tied to our environments as our environments are inextricably tied to us. We live in a soup of energies that affect us as we affect them.
We have a responsibility to create love and support for the entire omniverse. Focus on your small slice and make it peaceful, joyous and kind. When we all do this, the omniverse will reflect our universe and we will all live in the Kingdom of God now, and evermore. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DON'T FEED THE BEAST
Reject violence. Don’t feed the beast and enter that world. Reject the forces of evil by letting them pass through you unfettered by resistance. Force them to enter your world by allowing only peace to rule your world!
We all have the power to diffuse violence and negativity. It comes from knowing your Oneness with the Spirit of God, understanding the power of love and maintaining your peace no matter what anyone else says or does.
Be therefore perfect, just as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48) ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALLOWING IT TO GROW
When you ignore the ignorance of others, you are allowing it to grow unfettered. When you reject the ignorance of others, you are creating a dismissal of its content.
When you resist the ignorance of others, you are giving it energy to grow and expand due its intense emotional reaction to protect itself. When you recognize the ignorance of others, you are becoming aware of its validity. When you accept the ignorance of others, you are acknowledging its existence and the consequences it can manifest. When you allow the ignorance of others, you are letting it pass through you without affecting the truth you know to exist that is contrary to its content.
Ignore those who threaten your peace, reject their erroneous beliefs and don’t resist their positions. Recognize their right to believe what they believe, accept their viewpoint and allow it to pass through you without affecting your peace and your understanding of the truth. Love seeks peace and understanding in the face of ignorance.
Embrace love and ignorance will seek and recruit only those who embrace ignorance. Be therefore perfect, just as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48) ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
Is it better to listen than to be heard? In listening you learn what others teach and in speaking you teach others what you have learned from others.
When you listen from within your voice will be heard by others as the truth from the source and not the voice of an interpreter of the source.
You will get through to their heart for the spirit within them is the spirit within you.
Speak from the heart and it will be understood by the spirit within all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you are true to yourself, you will find those who are true to you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Whatever we are willing to give with our hearts, we will receive in our spirit. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.” ~Anaïs Nin
If we see things as we are, and if we learned from experience what works and what doesn't, then what's wrong with what we are seeing being what they are? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RHETORIC
Don’t allow the rhetoric and outright LIES of anyone tell you that the free market cannot survive with socialized medicine and equal opportunity in education and business. It is the façade that conservatives and Republicans preach based on austerity of the masses while they sip the cream off of the top of other people’s labors.
The only way they can maintain their exorbitant lifestyle is to LIE about HOW they maintain it. Don’t be fooled by the control, domination and manipulation of their inflated egos. The only thing that balances a capitalistic democratic system from the greed of some of the wealthy is socialism.
It is NOT either or, it is an integrated whole that allows the free market to bloom guided by regulations that promote equality and fairness for ALL!!! . ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE?
In regards to capitalism and socialism being mutually exclusive, one has to have the mindset, creativity and intelligence to create and integrated system that allows mutual growth and expansion while stifling greed and avarice. You CAN have it both ways when you take the best from each system and use it to check and balance unscrupulous individuals who are only out for themselves. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
AD HOMINEM B.S.
When someone is losing an argument they always result to "you cursed' or 'you are personally attacking me". Don’t waste your time confusing them with the facts. They obviously enjoy the stance of sitting on their shoulders. You cannot be fair to yourself and others when you have an internal agenda that tells you that you cannot.
Letting go of pre-conceived notions and posturing allows us to see that we already exist in such a system of integration. Some conservatives say that the poor are lazy, as an example. The only thing that promotes laziness is the backward ass thinking of those who feel that they are better than others and cannot relate to the circumstances and rights of all.
Read every day from many sources and many belief systems both politically and spiritually. Don’t allow yourself to have a problem with the facts as they are revealed to you.
Remove your erroneous beliefs and see the facts for what they are; people have a right to be treated fairly by everyone. Not relegated to being 'lazy' and 'unmotivated' by those who judge them without walking a mile in their shoes. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO
The Conservative Manifesto always refers to governmental ‘insurance’ programs as ‘entitlements’. They have NOTHING to do with entitlement!
Fairness is based on life and not the skewed view of 'entitlement' by conservatives. In my college experience I learned how to research the facts, how to think critically and how to differentiate between opinion and fact.
I have read what conservatives have referenced and it amazes me how they can skew reality to meet their agendas. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our Daily Reading for May 9th -
"We Must TRUST; When One Door Closes, Another WILL Open! Follow Spirits Guidance. SEE The RIGHT Door!"
by Angels Whisper
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS EVERY DAY AND WONDER AT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT GROW AND EXPAND AROUND YOU. WE LIVE IN AN ABUNDANT AND LIVING OMNIVERSE REPLETE WITH LOVE AND INFINITE RESOURCES. CAN YOU COUNT THE STARS IN THE SKY, THE GRAINS OF SAND OR THE BLADES OF GRASS?
Abundance is our natural state of existence. It is in our ego’s quest to be in control that it fools us into believing that we have to grab what we can when we can because we will not be able to get it again. Why does the ego do this? To convince us that we have to survive and thrive at the expense of others. It tells us that there is not enough to go around and we need to acquire and invest in order to survive and thrive.
There is another way. Allow the Divine to manifest your Divine purpose in Divine order and not only ALL of our needs, wants, desires and expectations will be met, but we will continually thrive on Divine abundance. When we observe the growth of a flower, a tree or an ambulatory being, it grows and expands naturally as a result of its interaction with its environment. As we grow and expand into our Divine purpose we need to observe the abundance of nature.
Billions of stars and galaxies in our view, billions of grains of sand and drops of water and billions of blades of grass. Natural order provides the abundant resources and Divine order moves these resources to manifest your Divine purpose in Divine order; it requires our interaction, participation and dedication to embracing abundance and NOT lack and limitation. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FORGIVE YOURSELF
When you love yourself enough to forgive yourself for making mistakes, you are being thankful for the experiences and humbling yourself to be sorry for your behaviors.
You are minimizing the ego’s perceived control of existence and are allowing Divine order to manifest your Divine purpose perfectly. Accept the responsibility for co-creating your peace by letting go of all perceptions and emotional reactions that deny your peace.
It is your choice to allow either peace or chaos to rule your life. Whatever you choose, the opposite you MUST lose. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SENSITIVITY
It truly helps to know that others are sensitive to the insensitivity of others and learn from it.
We are all unfolding our Divine purposes in Divine order perfectly and we can all help each other navigate through the dark passages when we can't find the light.
We ARE in this together! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MULTI-FUNCTIONING
Are you a multi-tasker? Do you take on several different tasks simultaneously in order to make the best use of your time? Are the results of your efforts fruitful? Or are they less than stellar?
The new term for effective multiple actions and behaviors is multi-functioning. Multi-tasking without accomplishing significant results negates itself. When you multi-function, you accomplish stellar results in ALL concurrent activities.
How does this happen? By tuning yourself into the universal energies that are ever present and allowing them to flow unfettered by the fears of the ego we come to a ‘serendipitous’ state of co-creation. Align yourself with Divine order and co-create what others perceive as magic! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SNIVELING
In one of my posts about anger a gentleman accused me of sniveling. Now, to most, sniveling is a manipulative action to gain the sympathy of others. Sniveling is to weep or cry with sniffling or to affect a tearful state; to whine. I assure you; anger was what I was feeling and sniveling was NOT what I was expressing.
However, some people see green when most people see blue. And why is that? Is it that they are projecting their own insecurities upon others in order to feel secure in themselves? Or is it that they need to elevate their position of observance to that of judging someone else and their behaviors instead of discerning them?
Whatever the motivation, anger is NOT sniveling. It is a feeling that someone else has not been FAIR to you and your ego reacts and holds it in or lashes out. The choice of the type of behavior it manifests is solely up to you. The gentleman said that my anger was coming from me and NOT from what the other person did to me. Well, duh? I guess so. Isn’t that obvious? It was the other person’s behavior that triggered the anger response.
Is it wrong to feel anger? Hardly. Anger itself is a motivator for change. If you allow someone to treat you as a doormat whose fault is it anyway? Them for treating you that way or you for allowing them to treat you that way? I think that answer is obvious.
Don’t allow someone who tries to use wordplay as distraction to fool you into believing that you are whining when in fact it is they who are whining. Affirm your feelings and realize that they are a by-product of you and they are NOT you!
You are in command of your feelings by two masters; your ego or the Spirit of God. What choice would you make? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE CORPORATE MEDIA
I don't trust the corporate media at all. However, some feel that NBC and MSNBC skew the truth more than Faux News. With that statement, I completely understand the conservative mindset. They are living in delusion because their agendas are the result of not looking at the facts. Are their agendas manifested before or after they've tuned up their gas guzzling pickup? Or is it when they have served their communities for one day in a soup line?
One thing that conservatives consistently ignore is that socialistic programs and socialism BALANCES the greed and avarice of capitalism. Socialism should replace capitalism; however the integration of the two systems is what can provide the mutual growth and expansion of all; not a select few who feel that they are 'entitled' to be better than others. That belief is NOTHING but ego and selfishness.
If conservatives knew truly what socialism is, then what they say about it would be worded differently and not meant to be emotionally derogatory. Conservatives need to re-educate themselves on the facts before they put their collective feet in their mouths. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EVANGELICAL SHADE
Evangelicals should take their 'version' of the Bible and stick it where the sun don't shine. I have spent years in study of the Bible from the original translations, depthful study of cultural and geographic idioms and comparative analysis.
There is a difference between judgment and discernment. If you think that Jesus was not liberal and socialistic, then how do you explain the loaves and the fishes?
If you truly knew Christ's view, you would stop sitting on your shoulders and come out and see the light of reality. For in their blindness we all can see. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LEARN THE FACTS
How can one be civil when someone doesn't make the time to learn the facts? Conservatives often state that they live by the laws of God and Jesus. They state that any infection of capitalism with socialism is contradictory to the laws of God. They seem to forget that Jesus attached the ear that Peter hacked off to the man who was coming to take him to be killed. That is love and understanding at its peak. Would a capitalist do that?
The only thing that balances a capitalistic democratic system from the greed of the wealthy is socialism. It is NOT either or, it is an integrated whole that allows the free market to bloom guided by regulations that promote equality and fairness for ALL!!! Some conservatives are too stupid to learn and too blind to see.
I don't know where they went to college, but I am sure glad I went to college somewhere else. May God bring them peace while they are living in their deluded worlds. Their rewards are having to live with themselves.
They need to take Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide and stick it where the sun don't shine; it then, might have a good purpose. God is greater than their limited beliefs will ever allow. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
