Some have asked, “How do I discover my Divine purpose?” “What is it I must do to find out what I should do to be happy and fulfilled?” “I encounter one challenge after another and I still don’t know what I should do with my life.”
Discovering your Divine purpose does not always come with a perception of a ‘light shining from the heavens’. Many people think they must ‘do’ something or ‘earn’ something in order to ‘find’ their Divine purpose. They encounter circumstances, situations, events, occurrences and people that ‘challenge’ their current state and yet, they still don’t make the steps to ‘see’ exactly what their Divine purpose is here on Earth.
By the blessings of the Divine we are given the gifts of free will, love and grace. That is the starting point of our equanimity. From there, we encounter ‘life’ and our choices will determine our path through life. If we choose to see ‘beyond’ what we sense, we become more and more aware of the undercurrents in our ‘existence’. If we don’t, we can relent to the ‘appearance’ of the external perceived dualistic reality and become eternal ‘victims’ to its perceived control.
When we choose to align ourselves with Divine order we come to know that natural order is ‘moved’ and ‘controlled’ by Divine order. We come to know that in giving what we feel we need, we are pro-actively contributing to the edification of all. It is in this giving that we are fulfilling our Divine purpose perfectly.
As we open our hearts to participate in the joy of others, our minds become filled with the awareness of our own Divine purpose. These ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ moments activate our emotions with the determination to share what is ‘good’ in our lives with all. Our innermost Divine desires will be released with an emotional charge to serve the world with our talents and abilities.
In the act of giving what we desire the most, we become One with our Divine purpose and we open the door for even more blessings to flow through. We start with grace and fulfill with giving. In the act of serving we master the alignment with Divine order. When we make the goals, dreams and aspirations of others a priority in our lives the Divine makes ours a priority because we stop focusing on our ‘perceived’ problems and share Divine love with all creation.
Step out into your community and ‘give’ what you have dreamed to receive and the avalanche of the Divine’s blessings will safely carry you to the realization of complete fulfillment. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Within a woman is the solace of nature. Her abilities to nurture, comfort and understand refine the harshness of blind assertion. Without women men would fight to the death and stand alone wondering what they had done. It is the feminine side in all of us that seeks life over death. Develop that side to create peace on earth and good will to all humankind. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Whoever observes their environment and composes anything in verbal terms or written form uses a combination of their understandings of life based on their observations, what they feel in their hearts and think in their minds and what behaviors have worked or not worked in their lives. They forge agendas based on their experiences and interactions with events, circumstances, occurrences, situations and people. It’s their own individual perception of reality expressed into communicating with others. It is then filtered by others’ belief systems and accepted as the truth or not, based on the interpretation of the observer. Most of the scripture have been written by men and their perspectives and agendas were very different than that of women. The male ego is more concerned with hitting the beach, killing the enemy, raising the flag and celebrating the victory. The female ego is more concerned with feeling the beauty of the beach, understanding the enemy, sharing the victory and celebrating life and peace for all. As general as this might seem it is chemically based androgen/estrogen dominance, reactive thoughts to those predominant chemicals and the pain or pleasure that results from acting on those thoughts and feelings. If more of the scriptures were written by women we might not have fought so many wars in the name of peace and love. The balance between the two outlooks is the only way to maintain peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Generally speaking, men learn at an early age to avoid physical pain by expanding their agility. They purposefully avoid emotional attachments because they don’t generally know how to handle them. One thing about women is that they will never forget the emotional pain of betrayal. However, some of them do forget the physical pain of childbirth; if they didn't, some of us would have never been born! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Mothers remember, when you are gone from this earth your voice and life lessons will still echo in the heads of your children. And when they smile they will feel your spirit everlasting. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Intense feelings are sometimes very difficult to bear. They seem to mask themselves with more feelings that hinder your spirit. Yet, within this malaise of emotional pain therein lies a glimmer of hope. That one drop of spirit that says, “It’s OK; it’s all in Divine order.” I remember my mother saying to me, “Que Sera Sera” when I was a boy. I felt her presence again when my dear little pet friend passed on. I received a warm glowing feeling that they are both alright. That feeling didn’t lessen my pain of loss, but it did give me some peace. As with all things time will lessen the pain and all that will remain will be the peace and knowing that I was blessed by the almighty to have been able to love; to feel that connection with another living being. I know my lost loved ones are in the bosom of the Lord and I know I will feel their presence in my spirit forever. Thank you God for blessing us all with your love and Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
In honor of the memory of my Mother and my brother I am sharing a picture of her and my brother Charles. Both have passed on and both have taught me invaluable lessons of love. When I was very young and in pre-school in Vermont (1958) I noticed that the only black child there was playing alone and no one would play with him. I became his friend and the other white kids ridiculed me and would no longer play with me. I went home and told my mother and she asked me one question. She said, “Is he your friend?” I said that he was and she said, “Then don’t let what anyone else says come between your friendship.” She spent most of her life teaching her children about love. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss her. She lived a long life until age 90 but had to hear before she died that her first child, Charles, died when he was 68 from heart surgery complications. Charles was my eldest brother and used to make the time when he was in the Navy to come and visit me and take me kite flying. We would make the kites from scratch and go to the beach or a field and fly them. He was a kind and gentle man who always told me to be honest, dedicated and forthright. I miss him too. My sister Kathee gave me this picture with the poem “I Am With You Always.” When I am tired and distraught I read this poem, look at their picture and know they are always with me. Thank you Mom and Charles for all of the love you gave me and how you taught me to love no matter what I may experience in my life. You are with me always. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When I was growing up my Mom always taught me to smile. She said that no matter what will happen in my life l should always smile. I asked her, “Why?” She said, “Because it shows that you trust God and that you are happy with what He gives you.” I was a little perplexed by this answer but it stayed with me. It wasn’t until I grew up and learned exactly what that meant that I understood the power of a smile. In fact, to this day I feel my mother’s spirit every time I smile. It was her everlasting gift to me. When we smile we are sharing the presence of God within us. It is our physical expression that speaks volumes to the world and calms our bodies. No matter what happens choose to smile. It will turn things around. It takes 62 muscles to frown and 26 to smile. It is less physical effort and produces enormous benefits; benefits for you and for others! No down side! This Mother’s Day give the gift of a smile to everyone. Spread happiness in the world every day with the simplest and most effective of gifts; your smile.
To all the mothers in the world today: Love your children with all of your heart. It will teach them the expression of the presence of God within them and guide them to a Oneness in spirit that they will carry with them the rest of their lives. Happy Mother’s Day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
As you remember your mother this Mother’s Day may the memory of her fill your heart with love. Dread not the occurrence as a fearful construct if you and your Mother never had a good relationship. Be the son or daughter who carries on the love of their Mother every day of your life. She physically carried you for nine months and now she carries your heart forever. May you all have a blessed Mother’s Day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Only when you experience the peace of trusting in the Divine will you become whole. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there and to all the fathers that have had to fill the 'mother’s' role. May your children always bless your life with the love, peace and joy of God. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When I was a child my mother not only showed me love, but taught me what it truly was. It is giving of the gifts of spirit that God has given you to make the world in which we live a better place. She taught me never to insult someone in their home if I disagreed with them; she said to quietly leave and not to allow them to make me feel badly about my disagreement. She also taught me not to allow others to take advantage of me or insult me or my understandings of things in my home. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Within our brains exists a neural net of neurons that become accustomed to firing in a specific sequence and syntax. Within our neurons are microtubules that provide the pathways for the motor proteins that contribute to the quantum level manipulation of matter that produces our consciousness.
We are inextricably connected to our immediate environments from these processes as our immediate environments are inextricably connected to our universal environment. We are by-products of our environments and our environments are by-products of our consciousness.
Why not choose to create the world in which you want to live instead of reacting to the world you assume is ‘how it is’? You can and DO influence the environment in which you live and breathe. Be the co-creator you were created to be and make your universe one of love, fulfillment and beauty. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

HOW THE BANKS
ARE SCREWING YOU
How would you feel if a friend borrowed $20.00 from you and told you that you could have it back whenever you needed it; just let them know in advance. Now, you, having trust in your friend, give them the $20.00 and go about your business. Now, your friend takes that $20.00 and lends it to someone who really needs it and charges him 100% interest for one day.
The next day he pockets the original $20.00 and makes $20.00 more. The same happens the next day and the day after that. Now, you come to him at the end of the week and get your $20.00 back, but you need to borrow an additional $20.00 for a couple of days. He says, sure and charges you $20.00 to do this. You say what? I gave you my hard earned dollars in good faith to ‘help’ you and you are going to charge me 100% for the same ‘favor’?
You take your $20.00 and tell him to kiss off and never call you again. Now, he has made $40.00 (twice as much as what you gave him originally) off of YOUR money. This is what all of the banks in this country do every day. They take your money and make MILLIONS off of it and give you NOTHING! In fact, if you accidentally spend more than you have they charge you ‘overdraft fees’ that make them millions every year as well. If you write a check to someone and they don’t have an account at your bank they ‘charge’ them a check cashing fee for processing your money from a legitimate check.
The bean counters and banking CEO’s are greedy bastards that suck you dry each and every day and their tellers say, “Well everyone does it!” I say because everyone does it doesn’t make it right. It is bilking the very customers that supply them with money. They are evil and selfish individuals that operate under the auspices of the ‘corporate good’.
Move your moneys into Credit Unions and NOT banks. Associate with people who use your money to invest in their people and not in their CEO’s summer homes. If enough people do this, we can bring the banks to their knees! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I AM THE PEACE
WIHIN MY SOUL
I am the peace within my soul
I am the joy I choose to experience everyday
I am the understanding that discerns and not judges
I am the health that radiates throughout my body
I am the wealth that surrounds me
I am the prosperity that creates beauty
I am the abundance that exists everywhere
I am the presence within
I am the power within
I am the knowledge and wisdom within
I am the co-creator of Divine love
I am that which I accept and reject
I am that which I allow and resist
I am that which creates everything
I am that which was and that which will be
I am the here and now
I am what I choose to be and not what others believe I am
I am the alpha and omega when I operate from Oneness
I am the result of my attitude when I live in duality
I am many things to many people but one thing to God
I am a child of the Most High God whom He loves and protects
Nurtures and accepts, and most of all, never rejects
I am always in His presence, even though I might not feel it
I am always using His power, even though I might not see it
I am always in His knowledge and wisdom, even though I might not know it
I am always co-creating His love, even though I might not be aware of it
I am what the Creator is because I am His child
It is always my choice to be the love which has created me
I choose to be the love, live in the love and express the love to all of God's creation
Every moment, every hour and every day of my life
I am all that there is when I experience life from God's perspective.
Thank you God for the awareness of you within me and my existence in love forever.

I DON'T DO POLITICS!
How many times have you heard someone say, “I don’t do politics!”? Where does this come from? What do they think politics are? People arguing and griping about societal problems? Too much money and too much ego? Businesses lining the pockets of ‘our’ representatives to manifest their clandestine agendas?
The definition of politics is “the science or art of political government; the practice or profession of conducting political affairs. An associated idiom is the term “playing politics, which is to engage in political intrigue, take advantage of a political situation or issue, resort to partisan politics, etc.; exploit a political system or political relationships; to deal with people in an opportunistic, manipulative, or devious way, as for job advancement” [dictionary.com].
Politics operates on sets of rules and laws that govern the exchange of facts and opinions based on the agendas of the people who choose representatives to advocate their principles in how they want to live and exist in their communities.
Now, when you get up and get in your car to drive to the market, politics are involved. Laws were crafted to ensure the safety of your vehicle, the purity of the gas that fuels your car and the rules of the road that you drive by to get to your destination.
When you get to the market and shop for food, politics are involved. The food you buy has to be inspected for quality; the price of the food is determined by the supply and demand and the person who checks you out at the register has a set wage determined by collective bargaining for the time they spend in checking you out.
Business and people are the constituents of politics. You cannot escape it. It is a part of your life and to deny it reveals that you are either totally uninformed or you are completely selfish. Politics determines the rules of our lives and to ignore the process by which we live and breathe in society is foolish at best. We have been given the Divine gifts of free will, grace and Divine love in order to exist in our environments.
Are we thankful for these gifts? Do we stand up proud and say, “I don’t do politics!” and then complain about how things are? Or do we realize that the world around us is an amalgam of souls living and breathing with each other and seeking to understand the ‘grand scheme’ of things. Our interactions with people in our societies are all played by the rules of politics. To deny that is to live in an imaginary world where you are the monarch of your life and everyone else is a serf for your selfish pleasure.
Get off of your self-imposed high horse and get down in the dirt with the rest of us to balance the science of politics with the art of politics. Be diligent in knowing the world in which we live and affecting positive change. How do we do this? By committing service to our communities with the talents, skills and abilities that the Divine has imparted to us. Say this instead; “I do politics and I refuse to let politics do me!”
Affect your world with the Divine blessings you have been given and share those gifts with all of us. Retreat to your closet and commune with the Divine and get out into your communities to help others. Otherwise, politics will ‘do’ you and make changes in your life that you might not like or endorse.
Participate in life by affecting the political discourse with truth, honesty and transparency. After all, what you put out you will get back. If you don’t ‘do’ politics, it will surely ‘do’ you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HOW GOD SEES YOU
How does God see you? As a perfect creation. How do you see God? As something separate and apart or deep within? Are you looking without for what you can only find within? Do you have faith in what’s within and trust God completely or do you worry about what might happen, doubt your ability to handle it and fear what you don’t know?
When you stop looking without for what resides within you will come to understand the true blessings of Divine love. They will exude from your being with peace, understanding and joy. You will know that God is perfect and that you were created perfectly.
Don’t believe the lies from religions that call you a ‘sinner’. The only reason they invented that was to be the middle man between you and God. It gave them a purpose and validated their existence.
You are a blessed child of the Most High God and you are NOT stained with sin. The only ‘sin’ you express is your acceptance of being separate from God. Stop believing the lies and liars whose only purpose to exist is to make you believe that you need them for salvation.
Yeshua died to reveal that we never truly die. We live forever in love when we seek Oneness with God and not separation. Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Remember that and live it every day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
IT HAS JUST BEGUN
Just when you think it’s all over, it has really just begun. Why is this? Because everything in life goes through phases of awareness based on what you have accomplished now.
Life is a series of works in progress that affect your awareness in the moment with what has been formed until now and what will be formed next. Procedures of accomplishment are good to retain but always remember that they are cursory at best.
Seeing the end result and feeling the joy from experiencing it is the putting the rubber to the road and co-creating what you envision. All of the raw materials are ever present; it is your job to arrange them in the proper syntax and sequence to unfold them into reality.
Fruition of your dreams comes from maintaining the crystal clear vision of the end result you seek and allowing the Divine to work through you for its manifestation. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What does it take to express the values that you KNOW are life-giving? Does it take too much effort or do you just ‘feel’ that it will? What if you took a stand on these values and make the declaration that ‘the buck stops here’? And what does that mean? It is a metaphor for accepting the responsibility for what you will allow to exist in your life.
If something exists outside of what you ‘value’ and it ultimately hurts you or others, it is incumbent upon you to call it for what it is; aberrance, evil or acrimony. If you ‘pass the buck’, you are shifting the responsibility or blame to another person. It reveals exactly just what you value AND how real those values are to you.
If you had something that could help you express what you value would you use that as a tool to create the fulfillment of those values? A carpenter uses a hammer to fulfill the plans laid out for them. The nails hold the wooden frames together but it takes the ‘force’ of them swinging the hammer to drive the nails into place. It takes action in a direction to ‘join’ pieces of wood in such a way in order to reveal the end result that the carpenter ‘sees’ in their mind.
The designer or architect creates from the top down; in other words, sees the final picture and creates a model of what it will look like. The model is a representation of the final product and is used to ‘guide’ the architect in creating the plans that the carpenter follows. The carpenter creates from the bottom up by following the plans and constructing the parts and raw materials into the ‘vision’ of the architect.
It is much the same for us in constructing our lives. The Divine has designed our lives by ‘seeding’ us with our Divine purposes. Are we following the divine plans or are we allowing our egos to second guess the divine plan for our lives? When the structure or results of implementing our plans reveals walls that are not level or plumb, it reveals that we went ‘off of the plan’ and second guessed the divine plan.
When we hear of atrocities in the world, due we ‘ring the bell’ and let others know? Or do we retreat into our ‘comfort zones’ or inner sanctums and acclimate ourselves to the ‘perceived’ fact that there is nothing we can do about it? Is fighting or warring the only answer? Or is seeking peace through constructive dialogue more apropos to effecting peace?
Is there a song of peace in your heart or a song of war? Are you declaring with your words, actions and behaviors something other than what you are thinking, feeling or believing? Are your ‘walls’ level and ‘plumb’ or are they off kilter? It is up to us to align ourselves with Divine order; not the other way around. It is we who ‘go against the grain’ and create problems and perceptions of struggle in order to justify our egos being in command.
If we are not ‘hammering out justice’, ‘ringing the bell of freedom’ or ‘singing the song of peace and love’ among all of our brothers and sisters than we are NOT fulfilling our Divine purposes in Divine order. We can only align ourselves with the truth when we allow the peace, understanding, joy and Divine love to guide us into complete alignment with our Divine purposes in Divine order. All else are games that our ego plays to control our lives and fulfill its selfish agenda.
Focus on that which brings out those divine values and edifies all. Create a ‘structure’ in your life that follows the divine plans. Hammer out justice to all; ring the bell of freedom for all; sing the song of Divine love between all of creation. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

IF I WERE
A RICH MAN
You were, Tevye, you were; just like all of us. We’re all rich in the most prized possession of the omniverse! The Divine Infinite Spirit Creator within us all RIGHT NOW. Whether we are laboring, resting or sleeping, we have the abundance of the entire omniverse within every cell of our beings. Rich means that we have wealth or great possessions; we are abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds; we are abounding in natural resources; having wealth or valuable resources; abounding like a countryside rich in beauty; a design rich with colors; we are of great value or worth; valuable: a rich harvest or a rich life [dictionary.com].
Are we naturally rich? Do we have wealth or do we just see wealth as having many possessions or a great deal of money? We are abundantly supplied with resources in this omniverse. We have the means at our disposal to co-create whatever we desire in life. We can and will have all of the finances we need when we allow them to flow through us without attaching any emotion to them of desperation or want. With every breath we take we are abounding in natural resources from our environment. We have land to walk on; we have gravity to hold us there; we have air to breathe; we have food to eat and water to drink. We are rich in the beauty of God’s grace that has been freely given to us in the expression of Divine love. We indeed have a rich life when we recognize just how blessed and wealthy we already are!!!
Tevye was rich beyond his comprehension and equated having money as being rich enough to “not have to work hard”, “having dozens of rooms in a big tall house” and his wife would have “a proper double-chin”, “putting on airs” and “strutting like a peacock.” He thought that having money would earn him the respect of being a wise man like Solomon. He further states that, ”When you're rich, they think you really know!”, and that “If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack.” How many of us believe that by being rich we would be able to do all of these ‘things”? Do we truly know what it means to be rich in spirit? Or do we believe that having the time, the money and the things we want will make us happy and fulfilled? We all need to let go of the beliefs that being rich and wealthy is having a great deal of money! Looking outside of ourselves for external ‘riches’ distracts us from realizing our internal riches and wealth.
Yeshua clearly said, “But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” ~Matthew 6:33 [Aramaic Bible in Plain English]. Going within by praying for guidance, meditating on the still small voice of God and serving others with Divine love IS living in righteousness! As a result, ALL of these accoutrements of being rich and wealthy in the external sense will be added unto you. When you love the material things of life more than the spiritual truth of life you are satisfying your ego’s yearnings MORE than your Divine desires that God placed in your heart. You look to the outside for that which can only be found within. Open the inward door and close the outward door every day and commune with the Creator of the omniverse. You will be guided to complete fulfillment when you completely trust in God. We are children of the Most High and the Divine ALWAYS takes care of us!
Yeshua said, “And why are you taking pains about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow without laboring or weaving. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field that is today and will fall into the oven tomorrow, does he not multiply more to you, Oh small of faith? Therefore do not be concerned or say, ''What will we eat?', or ''What will we drink?', or,''What will we wear'? For the Gentiles are seeking all these things, but your Father who is in Heaven knows that all these things are necessary for you” ~Matthew 6:28-32 [Aramaic Bible in Plain English].
Seek the peace, understanding, joy and Divine love of the Infinite Spirit Creator who has created the entire omniverse out of NOTHING and has given us all the grace to live and an abundant environment to live within. Be grateful for what is given to you in Divine love and it will be multiplied and given back to you; “Give and it will be given to you in good measure, pressed down and overflowing, they shall cast into your lap. For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you” ~Luke 6:38 [Aramaic Bible in Plain English]. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our Daily Reading for Nov 22nd, 2017
"Part 1 of 2 of Todays Reading Good MORNIN Soul Family! SO much about the Fairies, healing & Family!"
by Angels Whisper
When will you truly wakeup? When will you realize that you have everything you need to become who and what you were created to be within you right now? When will you stop hindering your progress with erroneous beliefs, negative thoughts and endless worry? When? When you take a deep breath and experience this moment completely!
All you truly ever have is THIS moment. Allow it to pass through you in peace and experience the truth of Divine presence expressing Divine love to manifest your Divine purpose in Divine order. When you dam up the flow you are attempting to control that which cannot be controlled. Allow that which is edifying you to move you divinely; no choking, bottlenecking or constriction.
As you try to selfishly hold that which blesses all it slips right through your illusive grip and leaves you with the tension of implementing control, domination and manipulation. Live and let live by letting go of what you ‘feel’ is correct in favor of what you ‘know’ is correct. You cannot ‘control’ Divine order but you can immerse yourself in it when you stop trying to make things happen in your favor.
Sit comfortably in your boat and stow the oars that you use to steer and move ahead. Allow the current of Divine order to move you in the slipstream and act when you are guided to, not when you ‘believe’ you should. The more you ‘try’ to ‘control’ the flow, the more its guidance to fulfillment will elude you.
Be ye perfect and allow perfection to flow through you every moment of your life. May you be guided in perfection, to live in perfection and express perfection. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

IS IT A TEST?
Some think that our experiences in life are a test. I don't believe that it's a test. I believe it is growing and expanding into the realization of our TRUE SELF.
There is no old man with a white beard sitting on a golden throne dispensing pop quizzes and hurling lightning bolts at us when we fail.
Stop anthropomorphizing the Divine and accept the Creator Infinite Spirit for whom and what it truly is; the center and Source of all of life and creation.
It's time to start seeing the Divine in truth and not as how a child sees an adult; we all need to grow up and see the Divine in spirit and in truth!
The Divine loves us! That’s why we were created! We were unfolded by Divine order moving natural order to be where we are right now.
Accept that and move forward confidently knowing that you have a purpose and your life was given to fulfill that purpose.
Only when you move in that direction will you ever know complete joy, happiness and serenity.
Stop turning right when you need to turn left to align yourself in Divine order. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I LOVE YOU
When someone says, “I love you”, does that actually mean that they fulfill a part of you that you perceive that you need or is it that you want to fulfill a part of them that you ‘hope’ they will perceive?
Being ‘in (romantic) love’ with someone else means that your feelings are so overwhelming that you feel the need to act on them immediately. It is a surge of emotions that drives your every thought, word, action and deed to fulfill your desire to be with them.
What happens to someone ‘in love’ that discovers that this need was only a perception on their part that occurred at some time in the past and no longer applies? They either try to recapture this ‘feeling’ of longing and passion or they seek it elsewhere.
Why do some people do this? Is it because their passion, longing and advances are not being met favorably? Or is it because they are reaching for something to ‘fill the gap’ that they are perceiving in themselves?
Whatever it may be when a person is looking outside of themselves to experience what they perceive as ‘love’ they will never truly find it. They will convince themselves that they ‘have’ it when in reality they are just ‘believing’ that they have it.
Life and romantic love evolve from one experience to another in a ‘mutual loving relationship’ with two people who are mature enough to understand that each other are not the ‘be all and end all’ of everything. It means that you experience joy every day with that person no matter what befalls both of you and you develop a deep feeling of ‘spiritual’ certainty in Divine order because of your bond.
Your Divine purposes become intertwined in a dance of Divine love. Your hearts operate truly as One! Being in love is the one of the greatest experiences any one of us can have and it allows us to touch the heart of the Divine.
Be thankful for that love and for your partner. Be willing to go out of your way to nurture them, show them tenderness and help them fulfill their individual purpose. It is why they are there with you and it why you are there with them.
Live in joy every moment and be thankful for the shared experience of growth and expansion together. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
IS IT BAD TO JUDGE
Judgment most of the times is referred to as a bad thing. You always hear, “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” ~Yeshua, Matthew 7:1. In the original Aramaic it says, “You shall not judge, lest you be judged (Aramaic Bible in Plain English). What’s the difference? Does this mean that you can judge someone if they judge you? But what truly is the meaning of judgment?
Judgment is the ability to observe, evaluate and discern circumstances, events and people in relation to your survival. Will these circumstances adversely affect me? Is this person going to hurt me? Will this occurrence cause me pain? What Jesus meant by his profound statement was for us not to judge others by their choices for themselves because those choices were made from THEIR viewpoint.
You are not privy to their circumstances, situations, events or people in their lives and their emotional reactions to them. However you ARE privy to yours. Judgment in regards to preserving yourself is the job of your ego. When the ego feels that its decisions are the correct ones and that they actually work, it feels that other people should listen to its assessment and employ its solutions.
This is where the key lies to judgment. Your ego can only make judgments in regards to your individual experience. When it comes to another person, its judgments are worthless. If you express or enforce these judgments upon others, their egos will react and judge you.
What’s the true meaning of the statement? The implied meaning is “Judge not (others and their choices), lest ye (you and your choices) be judged.” Judgment for yourself is a necessary thing for your survival while judgment of others should be avoided. If you judge others you will be judged by them for your insensitivity in either understanding or denying their experiences. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD
We are so blessed to be alive in this time. We are watching the old school fight its way trying to maintain its survival. Every day their arms are getting more and more tired from treading water. The weight of selfishness, greed and avarice are pulling them down as we watch. They are nothing more than bullies on a playground forcing their opinion on others. They are devious, deceptive and brandishing an image of being contrite. Don’t believe it!
We are a part of a movement of souls dedicated to respecting the rights of ALL! If any one of us is denied our freedoms and liberty, then it affects us all. Whether we are black, brown, white, multi-racial, men, women, adults or children, we are all Americans! We need to stick together in our diversity to complete our unity. We all have the Spirit of God within us and we need to respect our individual beliefs and spirituality; and that includes non-believers as well. We have NO right to enforce our opinions on anyone else to control, dominate or manipulate others to manifest our selfish agendas. We need to recognize this in our leaders and vote them OUT!
Choose representatives that have proven that they represent us and NOT the corporate banking interests that have one goal and one goal alone; to keep us in financial slavery. It is no longer about our race, religion, national origin, creed or sex. It is about our money and how much of that they can bilk from us through governmental influence in taxes and corporate influence in higher fees and charges. Give to Caesar what is Caeser’s; but not one dime more. Give to your community and to those families who need our help. Go out into your community and be the love you were created to be. Stop the backbiters, the haters of good and the evil politicians who thrive off of our adoration.
Send them home packing November of 2018. Elect representatives that have OUR best interests at heart and NOT that of the corporations. It IS within your power individually and OUR power collectively. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
