What is proof? Is it something that you believe that verifies other beliefs? Is it one’s opinion of evidence that is perfunctory or thorough? Or is it irrefutable details of the facts that point to a specific conclusion? Proof is from the Latin meaning “to test and find good.” In other words, by testing what you have observed, perceived and believed to be true the conclusions you arrive at are sound and verifiable. Proof is defined as “evidence sufficient to establish a thing as being true or to produce ‘belief’ in its truth; it is anything that serves as evidence of an accepted truth; it is also the act of trying to test its veracity and validate its occurrences. In Law it is the evidence that has probative weight and is convincing to most minds.
Proof is what defines what is correct. Now, when people post and repost one meme after another without performing their due diligence of verifying the truth and validating its occurrences, the proof of what they believe is not only weak but NOT probative! This is why critical thinking has practically been lost in schools anymore. If you raise a generation that does not seek proofs then you have automatons that wash, rinse and repeat without questioning that which they do. By keeping them distracted with TV, the Internet and video games there is no reason for them to put the time in to investigate the facts and research the proponents of those facts.
Most of the masses will blindly accept what is told to them by the corporate news outlets because it is easier and more convenient for them than to go down to the library and READ! It is set up this way so that you don’t DIG deeper and find out exactly what they are doing. And who are they? The politicians, bureaucrats, banksters and corporate CEO’s that have sold you down the river for their own personal gain. You are a pawn in their game of chess and to them, are expandable. But how can this be, you might ask? You get up every day, go to work, support you family and pay your taxes for governmental services that provide roads, bridges; police and fire protection as well as emergency first responders; and finally, government safety nets that allow you to live while seeking work.
You are doing exactly what THEY want you to do to remain in your bubble of mediocrity and ultimately serving their manifest agendas. They don’t want you to know the truth and they don’t even care if you discover it because the most difficult task in knowing the truth is in convincing your automaton friends, neighbors and families that they are being used, screwed and taken advantage of by ruthless people who care not for anything except their bottom line. Despite the truth about DJT most of his rural redneck followers CHOSE to NOT believe that truth that was relayed about him in the news. They ignored the truth in favor of their own comfort because of his appearance as being a “successful” businessman. Even though more successful businessmen like Buffet and Bloomberg spoke out about just how he arrived at his wealth (by wheeling, dealing and leveraging human capital; and NOT paying for their services), people swallowed his over the top bullshit hook, line and sinker.
What does this mean? It means that because these people were not educated with critical thinking they relied on their emotional reactions, feelings and beliefs to evaluate the ‘facts’ and render a decision as to DJT’s character. They swallowed the bait whole because he made himself appear to be one of them and that he was there to rescue them from their bubbles of mediocrity. He knew this and that’s why he said all of the reprehensible things that he did about several groups of people. He spoke louder and more obtuse than most in order to ‘pull them in’ to where he could manipulate them; much like a carnival barker who wants you to land the small hoops over the top of a milk churn. That is an almost impossible task but many take the risk in hopes of getting the prize! Well, we got the prize alright. Those who believed the lies about HRC and took the bait of DJT are now learning that this ‘hack’ has NO clue about how to govern.
As I said before, his character is majorly flawed. He surrounds himself with ‘yes’ men and women who dare not challenge his authority. He down speaks those who are different than him and launches attacks on those who know exactly who he is. And how will those who have been blinded by him saying what they want to hear learn that he is full of shit? As the saying goes; the proof is in the pudding. The Urban Dictionary states the following: “The original phrase is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating!" Which means you have to eat the pudding to know what's inside of it. The modern version of "The proof is in the pudding." Implies that there is a lot of evidence that I will not go through at this moment and you should take my word for it, or you could go through all of the evidence yourself.” That’s the key!
If you don’t perform your due diligence in discovering the true meaning of the evidence yourself then you ARE living in a bubble of mediocrity. You have accepted your fate as being where you are and living in complacency. You drank the Kool-Aid of total bullshit and have parroted what others say is the truth. I don’t care how much education or life experience you believe you have! If you don’t do what is necessary to discover the truth AS IT IS then you are not worth listening to at all. You have become acclimated to what others say and do and have chosen not to discover the truth on your own. You have sealed your own fate and you don’t even realize it. So, turn on the TV and drink some more Kool-Aid. Those of us who care to ferret out the truth will perhaps see you on the other side of life. The side where only truth matters and bullshit is swept away into the halls of ignorance. May God bless you always! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
There is a problem with calling it as you see it. Sometimes others will see it as a call to crumble their erroneous beliefs and gain a foothold on the truth. They will double down and hunker down on what they believe even though it could be totally untrue. When people do this it is their fear of the truth that commits them to burrowing in on what they believe instead of learning what they should know. They keep looking to the outside world for answers instead of going within to get the answers. They run to churches, sporting events and other forms of entertainment to get the juice out of life when it is right there within them.
Just like the man who went searching for diamonds all over the world to end up destitute. After he died the very home and land where he had lived uncovered the biggest diamond deposit anywhere in the world. He literally had his acres of diamonds right under his feet and went elsewhere to find it. Are you seeking gratification anywhere else but within? Are you spinning your wheels and wasting your precious time on frivolous activities that are less than fruitful? Do you feel shallow and listless because you are not being, doing and having what you want out of life?
Then stop running east chasing a sunset! Go within and be that which you already are and do what is necessary to be, do and have what you want out of life. It is up to you and you alone. Stop making decisions based on what others believe you should do and make them on what you know within you should do. My sincerest prayers that you do that and arrive where you desire to be. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

When you are so blinded by pure evil that you believe what it says you have lost the very essence of your soul in favor of listening to your fears. You will never come into the blessings of Divine love until you allow that which supports life and does NOT take away from it.
Being blinded by the false light of deceit has allayed your fears but in reality has added to them in the long run. Trusting in evil to better your circumstances has put the blame on you for the way life plays out for everyone.
Be responsible for your actions and accountable for your erroneous beliefs in order to forgive yourself for the travesty you have inflicted on all of us. The false light of deceit will burn out in the fires of governance.
Without deep roots the trees will topple in the strong wind and will be cut up for firewood. Only then will they be consumed for a useful purpose and give warmth to everyone. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GOING HIGH
Going high when someone goes low doesn’t mean that you just smile in the face of ignorance and stupidity; it means that you don’t react negatively to their lack of factual information.
You go high by proacting the truth from within and sharing Divine love by speaking the truth and removing yourself from the negative influence of their fears. Surround yourself with intelligent, kind and loving people who care for others as you care for them.
The more you remain in the sphere of those who cannot tell the difference between discernment and judgment, the more their words, actions and deeds will bring you down to their fearful level of expression. Smile, tell the truth and move on! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

A BIG SURPRISE!
To all of you who have believed the blatant lies of Donald Trump, you are in for a big surprise!
To all of you who have believed the blatant lies about Hillary Clinton, you are in for a big surprise!
To all of you who have chosen another path by voting third party, you are in for a big surprise!
To all of you who opted out of voting and participating in our democracy, you are in for a big surprise!
And what will that surprise be? Whether you voted or not your surprise is that you had the opportunity to stop evil dead in its tracks and you supported it, denied it or chose to not participate in allowing it to fester. You are not part of the problem; you ARE the problem! For in your complacency to stay in your bubble of mediocrity you have spit in the faces of decent hard working people who live every day for a better life for themselves and their families.
You chose to do what you did and now you will have to deal with the consequences of those actions. I will never forget the look on my friend’s face when he had to declare bankruptcy because Trump refused to pay him for the work that he did. And to add insult to injury, Trump’s people came in and bought out his debt to own his company. Trump is a pig, morally bereft asshole and a fascist. All of you who convicted Hillary Clinton without anything being proven against her are at fault; whether you voted or not.
You chose to believe the lies because you were too lazy to find out the truth on your own. You shared one meme after another and spread hatred and lies as if they were the truth. You will pay for your actions with the consequences that will come in a Trump regime. As the next four years unfold we will all see the results of believing lies over the truth and selecting a dictator as our POTUS because you chose to believe instead of know. I will be here every day reminding you of this.
Why? Because I choose to turn over the rocks and KNOW the truth more than parrot what someone with an agenda says is the truth. May God bless your twisted and wretched souls! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DUNSEL?
Is your brain a dunsel? A dunsel is a nautical term meaning “a part which serves no useful purpose.” In other words, having a high rank but with no authority. You may have spent your whole life learning academics, a skill or a trade and have achieved a high ranking in your field. But if you do nothing with what you have learned you are like a ship’s captain that has no authority to set sail. When you do nothing to assert your authority from the lessons you have learned you ARE a part that serves no useful purpose! But how do I assert my authority when no one ever listens to me, you might say? You do it by moving methodically forward in actualizing your Divine purpose in Divine order.
If you have not figured out your Divine purpose you need to spend more time going within and communing with your center of well-being instead of spinning your wheels and wasting your time with a myriad of external distractions. When you spend time each and every day going within and listening to your inner guidance you move your brain from being a dunsel to a counsel. You move from not serving a useful purpose into serving one. You learn how to live from the authority of your inner well-being and help others more than hurt them.
You learn how to express your talents, skills and abilities in Divine service to others. You learn how to take what you have learned and use it to maintain a livelihood. You will have successfully demonstrated that you have the rank AND authority to move through life confidently and purposefully. Your brain is a gift that channels the ‘unseen’ into the ‘seen’ and it is up to you to make the time to allow it to do its job effectively. Be that which serves a useful purpose by living in the truth each and every day. Be a counsel of authority instead of a dunsel of mediocrity! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

TURNING AWAY
When you turn away from the atrocities in your experience it reveals more about you than it does about the circumstances surrounding your experiences. It reveals that in the face of aberrance, injustice and posturing you have chosen to ignore, dismiss or devalue reality in favor of what is actually happening.
Case in point: A ‘man’ with a 7 y.o. vocabulary...10 y.o. persona...14 y.o. libido...and he is POTUS elect? What does that say about us?! Stop turning away from what is actually happening and deal with what is truly happening. Your appraisal and assessment of reality is mostly predicated on your beliefs; whether accurate or erroneous.
Be diligent and focused on what is truly going on despite your perspective. It is the only way to allow yourself to taste the accuracy of experience instead of manipulate what it truly means to suit your own ends! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

DON'T RESIST!
Don't resist him! Non-violence and humor are the only tools we have to defeat a Fascist! Allow them to hang themselves at the gallows of truth.

Stand up to them with the tools that they do NOT know how to handle. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

PULL PUNCHES?
My spirituality is not contingent upon my assessments of whether or not someone is good or bad.
Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his penchant for evil and I will not pull any punches.
He has ruined peoples' lives by not paying them for the work that they did. He is despicable, reprehensible and dishonest! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FOTUS
One million dollars a day to provide security for the FOTUS (Fuhrer Of The United States) is being paid by the taxpayers while Food Stamps, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are going to be cut for people who have lost their jobs (because of people like DJT who cheaply manufacture products outside of the USA that closed down our factories) or are retired. Our infrastructure is crumbling and it seems that no one wants to do the math. $1.46 billion over 4 years to protect a Fascist Pig who is already doing business deals with other countries before he is sworn in!
All the people who chose not to vote (47% of the electorate) are in for a big surprise. We are all being scammed by a megalomaniac whose design on the White House was only to increase his bottom line. When the bridges start crumbling, roads start deteriorating and people start dying from no food or medical care we’ll see just how long he remains in power.
He has definitely bitten off more than he can chew and we are the ones who will suffer for this travesty in government. Enjoy the last Thanksgiving this Thursday with all of your family and the holiday trimmings. This time next year you will be eating meat loaf and not being able to afford to travel to have Thanksgiving with your families. Perhaps then, those who chose not to vote will learn their lesson. The problem is we all have to relearn it with them. Peace and God bless you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PROPOGANDA?
It is one thing to argue with a fool who refuses to investigate the facts and research the proponents of those facts; it’s another to argue with an educated person who refuses to do the same while quoting propaganda websites, fake news and skewed opinions of left and right of center ideologies. When you have had the blessing of a good education why would you sit on your derriere and accuse others of forcing your opinions on everyone?
Why? Could it be that what you want to believe is more important than what is the actual truth? Or is it that your religious proclivities are tantamount to the molding of your opinion so much so that you are blinded by your own erroneous beliefs? Whatever it may be when you so choose to deny the facts in favor of your own manifest agenda you have lost a handle on the truth. Dereliction of performing your due diligence on ANYTHING reveals that you are NOT a proponent of the truth.
Truth comes from exhausting the gathering of all logical evidence and utilizing that information to evaluate the facts and arrive at an informed opinion. Once you have completed your due diligence you turn to your intuition to guide you in resolving exactly what is happening in the grand scheme of things. If something feels off, then you need to wash, rinse and repeat the steps in order to arrive at a justifiable conclusion.
If someone does NOT perform these steps repeatedly then what they have to say is worthless. It is of no value because it has not been verified and validated. Most people don’t make the time to think things through. They emotionally react with what their ego guides them to ‘feel’ predicated by their instinct for self-survival and personal agenda manifestation and not what is actually real! They believe that this is thinking when in fact it is not.
When you learn that logic is the beginning of wisdom and intuition is the end of wisdom; that is when you will know the truth. It takes both logic (from independent investigation and thorough research) AND intuition (listening to the still small voice of the Divine within) to make an informed decision on the just what the truth is in relation to reality. Without combining these methods you have NOT performed your due diligence and your opinion, whatever it may be, is NOT truthful or valid. Period. End of discussion. Have a great Thanksgiving! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

The term "agree to disagree" or "agreeing to disagree" is a phrase in English referring to the resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) whereby all parties tolerate but do not accept the opposing position(s) [Wikipedia.com].
According to this definition, in order for both parties to agree to disagree, they must tolerate and not accept the opposing position. Now, toleration is to allow the existence, presence, practice, or act of without prohibition or hindrance; to permit; to endure without repugnance; to put up with [dictionary.com]. It is a state of mind that allows the existence of antipathy about another’s position, viewpoint or perspective without displaying an aversion to that opposing position. Tolerance is of the ego and NOT the spirit. The spirit accepts everything as it is without attaching any emotions to it, whereas the ego attaches and emotion of strong disagreement to what the opposing position is and reacts with anger that is sublimated and not expressed.
When anger is the secondary emotion, it is borne from the inner feeling of not being treated fairly. It attaches itself to the polar opposite primary emotions of joy or sadness, anger or fear, trust or distrust and surprise or anticipation and reacts to these feelings by lashing out at one-self or others. When one’s ego tolerates another’s opposing position, it attaches anger to that feeling in order to protect itself and ensure its self-survival. It is the only way the ego can win an argument and express and attitude of tolerance. The way to avoid conflict with another in the future is to say to the other, “how about we agree to disagree?”
Now, that is socially acceptable to maintain peace but is not acceptable when ferreting out the truth from an argument when someone’s position is nothing more than their untested beliefs that have formed uninformed opinions. Operating from the spirit more than the ego dictates that the truth is paramount over all else. Being polite more than striving for truth clearly demonstrates that the truth is not important to either side of the argument. Beliefs are nothing more than repeated thoughts that you accept as true without testing their veracity and validating their occurrences. When beliefs concatenate one on top of another they become opinions.
Opinions are defined as beliefs or judgments that rest on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty [dictionary.com]. In other words, beliefs ultimately are your best guesses as to how things actually work and express themselves. Facts are observed with our senses; they are filtered through our individual belief systems of self-survival to generate information about those facts. This information, when recognized, initiates ‘feelings’ of fight, freeze or flight. We then perceive whether or not they are an asset or threat to us. If someone disagrees with our perception of thoughts and feelings, the natural reaction creates a secondary emotion of anger. The ego is in charge of our self-survival and it decides whether or not it will ‘tolerate’ another’s position.
The spirit is in charge of our awareness and understanding of our perceptions and it does not require us to emotionalize egoistic reactions; it allows us to proact by staying focused on the truth, despite others’ beliefs ‘about’ the truth. Agreeing to disagree is a cop out from dealing with things ‘as they are’. It is shifting the focus from ‘what is’ to an acceptable belief of what one ‘believes’ it is. This is why so many people never actualize their Divine purposes; they are more concerned with pleasing others and others’ beliefs about themselves then they are in dealing with the truth as it stands. Never agree to disagree. Always agree to agree on exactly what the truth is and the processes of how to arrive at the truth.
Agreeing to disagree postpones the inevitable and generates unnecessary secondary emotions of hidden anger that, over time, cause you to resent those who disagree with your assessment of the truth as it stands. Move away from those who insist on not performing their due diligence in uncovering the truth. They will become sources of hidden anger that distract you from exactly what the truth is. It is not your job to convince them of the truth; it is your job to identify just how you discover the truth and share that with them. If they refuse to listen, move on. They are not yet ready to learn how to investigate the facts and research the proponents of those facts in order to arrive at an informed opinion.
Your inner peace of the Divine spirit does not require anyone’s validation; it requires you to trust in it and listen to it with the emotional intent to express it openly in your life. Be perfect by living only in truth and sharing that truth with others. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LEAVING AN ARGUMENT
It’s OK to leave an argument with a fool. A wise person knows that a fool will never understand the difference between facts and opinions. They will never see what it takes to ferret out the truth because it requires too much work that they don’t want to do.
You won’t ever change the way people view the world unless they come to an understanding of what it takes to make the truth the most important thing in their lives. If you stay in the argument, you will be spinning your wheels and exhausting your energy.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink it. However, you CAN make the water look enticing enough for them to take a drink on their own. Bottoms up! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Many aware people have marveled at the fact that DJT, despite his over the top divisive rhetoric, actually won the election. They keep asking how this could have happened. Why? First off, when ego is in command, opinions rule over the information revealed by facts. Just like matter in space clumps together along the scaffolding of invisible dark matter, impressed and expressed energies congeal as like attracts like. Hate breeds hate just like ignorance breeds ignorance. DJT drew out the ignorance and hate hidden deep within all of us. We either aligned with it or we rejected it outright.
When we reject hate without resisting it, we stop it dead in its tracks. The same applies to ignorance. When we challenge the ignorant with facts, information about those facts and the resultant unfolding of those facts in the events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behaviors of objects, others and ourselves, they double down on what they believe more than what they actually know. It is fear that promulgates their reactions more than faith in what they ‘could’ know. They choose to remain in their comfort zones of mediocrity and self-preservation more than extend a hand to those in need. They call refugees terrorists when in fact they are running FROM the terrorists. They believe that HRC committed crimes when NOTHING was proven against her.
They believe a slipshod carnival barker who has done nothing but lie to them and take advantage of what they BELIEVE he can do for them. They are so STUPID that they can’t see that he is only out for himself and NO ONE ELSE! Their blindness and deafness has created Hell on Earth for ALL of us. We allowed this to happen and it is up to us to put an end to it. Do NOT use passive resistance! Use active allowance but letting DJT and his constituency hang themselves at the altar of truth. Their egos will cause their undoing because like will attract like behind the scenes and soon enough reveal exactly what DJT and his followers are doing to undermine our way of life.
Watch them crash and burn and the Divine will protect those who revere equanimity more than racism, misogyny and divisiveness. We can and WILL do it while those who don’t will suffer the consequences in due time. Trust in the Divine to orchestrate a symphony of love that will end the tyranny of ego once and for all. There will always be those who choose ‘me’ over ‘we’. It is us to us to know who they are and how to handle them. Don’t react violently to them; laugh at them. Expose them for the liars that they are. The Divine will do the rest. Peace and blessings to all of you and your families. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I'M NOT A RACIST..
BUT...
The most famous line of a racist is, “I’m not a racist, but…” Many have said that they voted for DJT and claim that they are not racist. However, if you choose to align yourself with anyone who IS racist, then you ARE a racist! I don’t care how you try to spin it to others because that is the TRUTH! You are reprehensible at best for aligning yourself with ANYONE whose speech and actions amplify racism. You are divisive, lying to yourself and lying to all of us. I can see you for just what you are; A RACIST!
Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. You are so full of your own shit that you are deplorable! So, when you discuss how you aren’t a racist over Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, I sure hope all of your family and friends can see you for what you truly are; A RACIST!!! DJT has brought the closet racists out into the open now and we can all see you for just what you are; A RACIST!!!!!!
So, go ahead and gobble up that wonderful turkey dinner knowing just how much of a racist you actually are. I sure hope you come to a realization that your inner feelings of racism are what predicate your thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors. We now know just who you are! You can no longer hide behind your own spin of reality to shroud your clandestine manifest agenda. We ALL see you for what you truly are…A RACIST!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
I would sincerely like to thank my dear friend Gloria Jean Beal for making me aware of a brilliant man whose perspective on life is astounding. John Henrik Clarke was a Pan-Africanist writer, historian, professor and a pioneer in the creation of Africana studies and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960’s [Wikipedia.com].
I will be featuring some of his quotes to stimulate your thinking and stir up your emotions. Look at what he says with an open mind and a giving heart. We all need to see beyond what appears to be into what underlies all of reality. Be blessed this Thanksgiving! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
"I only debate my equals. All others I teach." ~John Henrik Clarke
“Whoever is in control of the hell in your life, is your devil.” ~John Henrik Clarke
“Powerful people cannot afford to educate the people that they oppress, because once you are truly educated, you will not ask for power. You will take it.” ~John Henrik Clarke
“Racists will always call you a racist when you identify their racism. To love yourself now - is a form of racism. We are the only people who are criticized for loving ourselves. and white people think when you love yourself you hate them. No, when I love myself they become irrelevant to me.” ~John Henrik Clarke
“Powerful people cannot afford to educate the people they oppress... because once you are truly educated, you will not ASK for power you will TAKE it.” ~John Henrik Clarke, Africans at the Crossroads: African World Revolution
“History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, but more importantly, what they must be.” ~John Henrik Clarke
SHARED VALUES?
Shared values, Donald? What values do you share with us? Values like paying your bills and the people who have worked for you? Values like marrying a call girl and suppressing her sex tapes? Values like lying, cheating and stealing to and from others? Wait, those last three are NOT values!
More like immoral principles that you have embraced over the years. Like having sex with a 13 year old girl in the plane on the tarmac before flying over international waters?
Principles like hiring people to do work for you and not paying them; driving them into bankruptcy and then buying their companies and dismantling their livelihoods; claiming you are smart because you avoided paying taxes for the roads and bridges your contractors used FREELY to build your monstrous gold-veneered gaudy buildings.
We don’t share ANY values with you, Donald. You have taken advantage of us all of your life and now you must pay the devil’s due. Payback is a bitch, Donald. You will soon find that out the hard way! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FEEL THE BALANCE
The only way to truly know yourself is to be objective enough to feel where your inner wisdom balances out your expression of your personal power.
Take a step out of yourself and look back at you doing what you desire the most in life. See yourself in that image and know that’s why you were created.
Feel the joy of living in that moment every day and you will learn to allow it to manifest by getting out of your own way. Co-create beauty and beauty will flow from your heart! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
INNER IMAGES
The answers you need to the problems in your life come when you allow your inner well-being to guide you with inner sensory images.
When you imagine those images flowing in an expression of your innermost desires feel the joy of their co-creation.
Allow your body to tingle with goose bumps and shiver with excitement. Creation occurs when the expectation of the congealing of raw materials (energy and matter) moves from chaos to an orderly reality.
Be the co-creator you are and create Divine beauty! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FOOLISHNESS
Foolishness is the hallmark of not being able to understand just how life works. It is so common that most never see it.
It is more important for a fool to be heard and express his opinion than to make the time to discover the truth.
Being wise means that you allow a fool to be foolish while distancing yourself from his folly. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CLOSE TO THE VEST
If you want to convince people of your veracity you must keep your cards close to you enough for others to not be able to see that you are blatantly lying.
Liars will always have it handed to them when they don’t realize that others will investigate and research what they claim!
It is always good to research what is claimed before you post it or your character will be identified as one who parrots more than one who truly seeks the truth above all else.
Peace to all the parrots; and have an 'honest' and joyous holiday season! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you are what you believe you are then what you believe is not only erroneous, but dependent on what you perceive and not what you conceive.
Knowing who you are comes from exactly who you are while believing who you are comes from exactly who you believe you are. Knowing comes from your center of well-being.
If you don't know your center then how can you know what it reveals is the truth? Simply by observing the results of your actions or your inactions in response to your knowingness or your beliefs.
When you have lived long enough to see how the patterns of life unfold in the same manner time after time, you come to the realization that no matter what you say or do will not help others unless they are willing to be helped.
If you see them walking off of a cliff and you warn them they will either listen or not. You have gained a wealth of experience over the course of your life and if you choose to share that wisdom and they are unwilling to accept it, then let them be; they will succumb to the consequences of their actions whether you warn them or not.
It is in the fact that you chose to help over hinder or hurt that is paramount to the purity of your inner spirit. Be that which adds to life and never takes away from it and you will be blessed with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MENTAL PROWESS
The web is full of pseudo-intellectual ‘knows parts of some things’ to dazzle readers with their mental prowess. The key to knowing anything is to feel the whole of your being and listen within to know YOUR answers! You don’t need books, videos, courses or seminars. They only show you ‘ways’ of effectively going within. Find your own way and make sure that you spend some time each and every day in communion with your Creator.
The Divine Infinite Spirit of God is always there to guide you, direct you and lead you to where you must be in fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. Let go of the apparent chaos and submerge yourself under the din of distractions. Be silent. Be still. Be knowing. Be creative. Be loving above all else. You are blessed when you take the reins and follow the Divine’s lead. Otherwise, your ego’s way may give you the appearance of a pseudo-intellectual hawking their wares by sucking you into their methods and processes for something you can do on your own.
However, some people need books, videos, courses or seminars to get in touch with their inner self. We are all teachers and can only guide others on their way; but the students must go through the processes individually in order to benefit from them. You can use what authors and speakers have to offer to get to a greater understanding of spirituality. However, if you truly want to live from a spiritual center and unfold blessings in your life you must know that there aren’t any shortcuts in the methods or processes.
However, there is a shortcut through daily meditation that allows you to slow down, listen and learn. Follow your inner guidance to become ONE with your inner spirit. Use your individual talents, skills and abilities to be of Divine service to those who need your guidance. Share the blessings you have received and pass them down the line. It is in flow of blessings that dreams are realized and people learn to live in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love everlasting. Your spiritual center will bless you with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance each time you immerse yourself within. May the Divine bless you always! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THINK YOU HAVE
A CHOICE?
A declaration of someone on Facebook: “There is no Democratic or Republican Party. There is only the power elite that makes you think that you have a choice.” My response is, “And if you believe that, you have missed the entire point of choice and purpose.” Choice comes from an inner knowing that you are here to create. Your inner purpose in life is always revealed to you when you pay attention. You can tell what ANYONE is about by the fruits that they bear.
I am here to create, not acclimate. I am here to fulfill my purpose perfectly. I pay attention to what goes on within me and outside of me because I know my purpose and I exercise my choices to fulfill that purpose. If you sincerely believe that both major political parties are the same you are fooling yourself! The might be the same in form and structure but NOT in content and substance.
The Republicans are all about ‘me’ and Democrats are all about ‘we’. If you can’t see that, then you are blinded by your own beliefs and haven’t done the work to ferret out the truth. Democratic principles bring people together to work with each other in harmony while the Republican principles drive people apart because of their selfish and greedy agendas that line their donor’s pockets.
At least the Democrats are honest about it! Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEING HONEST
Let’s be honest here. There are four categories of mindset and heartset in our world today; those who want to be rich from the labors of others; those who want to be self-sufficient enough to invest in their families and communities; those who want to be supported by the state; and those who isolate themselves from everyone and carve their own path.
The first group is predominantly Republican, Conservative or Libertarian people who value individual initiative over all else. The second group is predominantly Democratic, Liberal or Progressive people who value collective cooperation over individual enhancement by those who only care for themselves. The third group only cares for themselves and what they can get out of others. And the last group cares more about isolating themselves from others because they don‘t want to be involved in their drama, opinions or expressions.
If you only care for yourself and for people who are like you, then you are missing the entire point of collective harmony. If you only care for what is good for everyone, then you have gotten the point of collective harmony but might not know how to get those who are only out for themselves to see the advantages of edifying the collective whole. If you only do what you can to live off of the hard earned labors of others, then you are not only selfish, but not interested in contributing to a collective harmony. If you want to escape it all, then you will have to develop your own rules and standards for living in a world where your obvious efforts are revered more than your pure heart.
Whatever category you fall into still requires you to work and get along with those in the other categories. If you don’t, then you will have to learn just how to in order to function effectively in our collective societies. Most of the Republican, Conservative or Libertarian people are not bad people; they just don’t see the value in all of us working together ‘collectively’ to enhance our societies. They have been conditioned by the tenets of individual initiative more than collective cooperation. Most of the Democrats, Liberals or Progressives are not bad people; they see the value in us working together by educated the public in what is real and not what has only worked in the past.
Most of the ‘moochers’ of society are not bad people; they only care what they can get out of the system because they believe the system has not provided the opportunities for them to survive, strive and thrive. Most of the ones who drop out of society are not bad people; they just have had so much with the bullshit of others that they seek the inner peace of knowing themselves and not having to deal with shallow and superficial people. Only when we can put our differences aside and focus on our similarities will we come to a truer understanding of each other. That sets the stage for our collective growth and expansion.
Working together is our collective strength and until we learn how to do it, we will repeat what hasn’t worked time and time again. Be open to what others believe but nail it to the signpost of truth if it doesn’t meet the ongoing tests of veracity and validation of occurrences. If we follow the truth instead of beliefs about the truth we can and will come together to learn how to help and not hurt one another ever again. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NOT ME!
I have been told many things by many people about whom and what I am; from a con-artist to a saint; from a destroyer to a healer; and from an asshole to a wonderful guy. All of these things are what people think, feel and say about me; however, they are NOT me! They are descriptions of me by people who believe in certain standards and assess my expression of my being according to what they believe is true; whether accurate or erroneous. They might ‘think, feel and say’ that they know my intentions but all they will ever have is their belief of what my intentions are; nor do they really know how pure my heart is in unfolding my intentions. I am the only one that knows the purity of my heart and the ‘goodness’ of my intentions. All else are beliefs ‘about’ those intentions and NOT the intentions themselves.
I live in inner peace each and every day because I KNOW my intentions are honorable and forthright AND because my heart is pure in unfolding those intentions in such a way as to help and not hurt others. I share my insights because I want to positively contribute to life by speaking the truth and pointing out those who don’t; those who seek to edify themselves only and the hell with everyone else. Only when we all think, feel and say more about ‘we’ than ‘me’, will we be able to share Divine love and co-create a world without hate, war and chaos. My peace is always secure because I don’t allow what others think, feel and say about me to rule my life. I allow the truth from my inner well-being to commit my actions to elevating us all with the truth and the truth alone; the objective, absolute and Divine truth that ADDS to life and NEVER takes away from it.
Be focused more on what you are here to do and not what others think, feel and say about what you do. This attitude is the source of your strength and resolve because you have chosen to allow these thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors to exist AS THEY ARE without affecting WHO you are. You have mastered the flow of energy into your being and that which you express from your being. Achieving the inner balance between your ‘learned and intuited wisdom’ and your bodily feeling of your personal power will allow you to know the truth from within and live in peace in your world. Be that which you truly are and not what others ‘think, feel or say’ you are! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU'VE BEEN HAD!
When will you wake up to the fact that you’ve been had? Is it because you haven’t spent the time to ferret out the truth by separating the chaff from the wheat? Or is it because you are so comfy in your bubble of mediocrity that you blindly accept things as the way they should be?
You turn on the corporate news and are being lied to; you hop on the web and believe fake news, propaganda websites and over the top pundits with manifest agendas. You keep emotionally reacting to the onslaught of information pummeling towards you from the fire hoses of distraction. And yet, when something you learn aligns with your beliefs you again are comforted without making the time to perform your due diligence in ferreting out the truth.
One day you will realize that you had many opportunities to KNOW the truth and you dismissed them for your own comfort. Whether it is the big game, the next artistic performance or the political speeches that tell you what you want to hear. And then you wonder why your life is hollow and your feelings are shallow. Could it be that you caused all of this? Could it be that you allowed the expressions of others to become center stage in your life? Or is it because you decided to remain comfortable despite all the atrocities that selfish and unscrupulous individuals have committed on our planet and the life it blossomed?
Wake up and smell the coffee. Take a sip before it’s too late. Live from the truth, for the truth and in the truth. May the Divine bless you always! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
