SPIRIT IN THE BODY
I feel that the spirit in the body creates the soul.
It is the construct of the ego that comes from the reptilian brain that is the 'self'; where the spirit within is the SELF.
When you allow the ego to lead you are relying on 'valley vision'; when the spirit leads it is 'mountaintop vision'. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SCIENTIFIC CLAIMS
A belief is a repeated thought that you accept as true without the proper validation. Science claims that observation and perception of the perceived dualistic reality offers the only validation to what is observed, perceived and subsequently believed. However, when you rely on your limited senses as the only source of learning you are fooling yourself. What science claims as verifiable evidence ‘changes’ by the interaction of the observer; e.g. the double slit experiment.
Your eyes ‘feel’ visible energy between a range of 4 billion to 7 billion cycles per second; your ears ‘feel’ mechanical pressure waves of energy moving through gas between a range of 20 to 20,000 cycles per second; your olfactory ‘feels’ chemical frequencies below 1 cycle per second; your taste buds ‘feel’ chemical frequencies below 1 cycle per second; and your skin’s nerve receptors ‘feel’ mechanical pressure from other objects against itself at less than a cycle per second. Any energies that exist ‘outside’ of these ranges are not sensed by our senses.
Does that mean that they don’t exist? Hardly. They exist but we cannot sense them. Hence, science has come up with devices that ‘extend’ the range of our limited senses in order for us to not only verify their existence, but to include them in the processes of manifestation of what we do sense. Once something is sensed by observation, our brains perceive what we have sensed as electro-chemical copies of reality and NOT reality itself. We then filter what we have perceived through our individual belief systems as to whether or not they can threaten our self-survival.
Do you see why now that everything that we claim is reality is nothing more than a belief? Science is a belief system based on what the limited senses reveal and will not theorize on what it cannot measure, quantify or qualify. It IS a belief system predicated on what our limited senses reveal. I have been told here today that my teachings of these ‘truths’ make me dangerous.
What is dangerous in reality is believing ONLY what your 5 senses reveal as being reality while discounting the FACT that your senses are limited and do NOT reveal the entire picture. Open your eyes and see the truth. Know what is real more than believe that what you believe is all of reality. Be ye therefore full of wisdom and NOT ignorance! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CREATIONISM
A reader stated the following: [Creationism is a] "Blind senseless ridiculous uneducated faith that supersedes all supported rational knowledge and purports to be absolute." Creationism is NOT just a biblical take of an old white-bearded man sitting on a throne being anthropomorphized by His followers. It is also the result of the Big Bang; which, btw, is where EVERYTHING came from! It was spirit expressing Divine love from the singularity of spirit into the perceived dualistic reality that we ALL perceive.
It is better than only being able to measure, quantify and qualify existence with a yard stick of limited senses that only reveal a portion of reality. Energy and matter comprise only 5% of the omniverse where dark matter is 23% and dark energy is 72% What some fail to see is that their ego's take on reality is predicated by THEIR belief system; which is dependent on what is available ONLY from the 5 physical senses.
If you had any vision, you would SEE that and understand it. You would educate yourself in the astrophysics, quantum mechanics and current scientific theory. You wouldn’t mount a soap box and claim that what we sense is all that there is! Time for you to take your foot out of your mouth! No one can do that for you; only YOU can! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ATTACKING PEACE
When you attack those who seek peace by instilling them with fear of what 'might' happen, you might get them to jump on the 'what if' bandwagon.
This is the oldest trick in the book that circumvents logic by emphasizing the 'possibilities' of the worst happening because you seek its opposite state.
Conservatism can only survive by broadcasting disinformation that generates fear in order to convince its constituency that hoarding resources and buying guns is the only way to survive.
The truth is that we have abundant resources and that we need to stop the liars that are generating fear to increase their profits.
IMAGINATION CREATES REALITY
Your imagination creates your reality when you allow it to move naturally from within to without. Don’t stop up the dam and minimize the flow of ideas because something about your ideas doesn’t ‘feel’ right. Simply log your ideas as they flow and revisit them later to evaluate their conversion from possibilities into probabilities.
Not every idea that flows from your imagination is a viable way to proceed; however, sometimes contemplating impractical ideas leads you into a space that allows you to embrace viable ideas. Discernment evaluates ideas based on their factual implementations and implications for all whereas judgment evaluates ideas based on whether or not they support or take away from your immediate survival.
Intuition guides you into a space where your imagination flourishes with a higher rate of possibilities that can be converted into probabilities. Allow that which has created everything to stimulate your imagination with the intuitive guidance that reveals what is best for you and everyone concerned.
It is NOT mutually exclusive in the spiritual realm; however, the ego pulls down the veil of deception to convince that what is good for all is not good for you. Nothing could ever be further from the truth. Be ye therefore mutually inclusive in your assessment of the ideas that your imagination produces. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FACING CHALLENGES
We all face challenges, infirmities and negativity at various levels each and every day. It is how we address those perceptions that they ultimately affect us.
If we choose to fight them, we re-create them over and over again until we learn to let them go into the healing of Divine love.
There is never any resistance, hostility or fighting in the blessing of living in Divine love; there is only allowance, benevolence and the loving of peace.
Allow that which appears to be detrimental to pass through you without attaching any emotional baggage and you KNOW what the results will be!
Live in peace by understanding that you were meant to be joyous by living in Divine love everlasting! Be ye therefore grateful by trusting in the Divine completely! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALTERING REALITY
Applying consciousness to anything alters its perceived reality. What is outside of you is sensed through observation.
Perception is the result of what is sensed being filtered through beliefs to create 'copies' of reality that get stored based on their relative importance to our individual survival.
Hence, consciousness alters reality in favor of survival. Slam dunk! Thanx to John E. Marshall for the assist! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
Ignorance never allows what is truth to be known because it lives in fear of knowing it. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DANGEROUS?
It is so nice to know that when I speak the truth of inner revelation, scientific study and ominversal knowledge that I am called dangerous. Well, all I can say is, “Thank you!” If I am dangerous to the preconceived unscientific theories of those who THINK they know science. I suggest that they go here and read up on the hypothetico–deductive method (and take a refresher course in logic. Science is “a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.”
Testable based on the five physical senses ONLY! Predictable based on the logic of math! It is not a be all and end all of life. Logic is the beginning of wisdom and NOT the end of it! Science has opened our eyes to how the omniverse evolves but it is dependent upon what it can measure. If it cannot measure something, then how can it theorize about it? Who truly knows how this vast omniverse was created but I do know one thing; consciousness dictates that there IS something more than we can sense; the unseen forces that MOVE the seen forces to create the laws of physics as we know it.
Being a dangerous person to pompous pseudo-scientists, scientists and ignorant cheerleaders of science is quite pleasing to me. I will take whatever you say and turn it around on you. Why? Because as long as you base what you say on your limitations, you are espousing erroneous beliefs at best. Open your mind and open your heart to that which is beyond your capability to physically sense. You will be surprised at the wonder of the cosmos! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
QUESTION EVERYTHING!
QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! What exactly does that mean? It means that you question your observations, your thoughts, your feelings, your beliefs, your spoken words, your actions and the behaviors of yourself and others. It means that you leave no stone unturned in your quest for the truth. It means that you question not only what you have observed, but your perception as well. Our brains take many shortcuts to arrive at conclusions that ensure our safety, move us ahead and fulfill our understanding. However, our perceptions in our conscious minds get filtered by our belief systems lodged in our subconscious minds.
The brain actually ‘skews’ our perception based on our fear of things and our faith in things. In that sense, we ultimately see what we want to see by either deleting inputted information or altering its perception by our beliefs. As it has been said many times; we are not what’s looking in the mirror; we are what looking at us looking in the mirror. Our mental consciousness is a by-product of our spirit interacting with our physical bodies. It is an emergent property from the energy that our brains generate in coordination with our hearts and bodies. The experiences that our physical body inputs create emotional reactions that ensures our safety, security and well-being. However, it is our inner spirit that guides us to live in the fulfillment of Divine love. That is why we must QUESTION EVERYTHING other than the inner connection we have to the Divine.
Question spirituality, question religion, question philosophy, question science, question moronity, question selfishness, question kindness, question knowledge, question wisdom, question anything that you perceive because whatever it is it has been skewed as a copy in your brain by your belief system to ‘resolve’ itself as being true; which releases calming chemicals to our brains and bodies. We are an amalgam of many things; especially creatures that demand any and all situations to resolve. NEVER believe what anyone else tells you. Rely on what you KNOW within more than you believe without. The grey matter in our brains helps us in staying factual and not indiscriminately being not factual. Most liars, false witnesses and con men have 14% less grey matter than the normal person.
Being consistent and focusing on the truth helps build more white matter in our brains. When any parts of our brains grow it requires more blood flow; minimize the size, minimize the blood flow. Whether we are conservatives, libertarians, liberals, progressives, socialists or communists, our goal should always be to move toward the truth and the truth alone. We must be aware enough to live in truth, by the truth and for the truth. QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHY WE ARE THE WAY WE ARE
Who you are is not what you are. What you are is not where you are. Where you are depends on how you’ve lived. How you are depends on when you became aware of whom and what you are. When we come to realize that, we learn why we are the way we are. Why we exist depends a great deal on misremembering or correctly remembering the truth. When we misremember what has occurred in reality, we are ensuring our individual self-survival. When we correctly remember the truth, we learn exactly what our Divine purpose is and we move toward it in confidence.
Who you are is an individual soul that was born from spirit interacting with a ‘growing’ body. What you are is an amalgam of the spiritual expression of Divine love; the mental expression of an emergent consciousness; the emotional reactions to your environment; and the physical state of health that YOU allow. You are where you are right now for the unfolding of your Divine purpose in Divine order. How you choose to think, feel, believe, speak, act and behave co-creates the reflected reality of the projection of your life into your environment. When you allow life to pass through you unfettered with attaching beliefs to it that are erroneous, you come to know why you are here. You are in a state of ongoing allowance that guides you into peace, understanding, joy and Divine love everlasting.
Educate yourself but always test your knowledge to validate its veracity. If you learn and practice something that hurts more than helps you and others, it is up to you to change it. Not rearrange its circumstances; actually change it! Be true to yourself and others and always know that what comes from within is what you really are; indivisible spirit! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

FAITH BASED SYSTEMS
Removing faith based systems of spirituality and religion by anyone in charge of the military, police, education or corporations is the first step in asserting their clandestine agendas of separation and the systematic dismantling of faith based science in favor of atheistic/scientific principles that are based on the control, domination and manipulation of others by nothing more than their selfish egos.
Don’t allow this to happen. Yes, freedom of religion means freedom from religion as well; however, those in charge want more than just your hard earned dollars; they want your very soul to be loyal to their brand and subservient to their whims. The only way to thwart their egos’ attempts at being in total charge is to let them hang themselves with their own words, actions and behaviors.
Ego always finds a way to expose itself by seeking the recognition of those it wants to control, dominate and manipulate. It always points to itself for supplying the greater good when in fact; the greater good only comes from the spirit within! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

CREATIONISM THEORIES
Creationism covers several theories in which the biblical is only one of them. If you are going to discount something, then make sure that you are not throwing every theory into one basket labeled 'ridiculous'. Intelligent design reveals itself in every aspect of nature and to ignore the results and what they reveal in order to diminish the source of those results is egotistical agenda manifestation based on limited observations, skewed perceptions and erroneous beliefs.
Whether you feel or don't feel the Divine in everything in nature is not the problem! The problem is in 'forcing' your beliefs on others to validate your own. Validation comes from testing and retesting observations, perceptions and beliefs in order to narrow down the truth. Blindly accepting what someone else says without validation is ignorance at best.
Observe the vastness of the omniverse; perceive the enormity of its interactions; believe in what can be verified by not just measuring physically perceived reality, but by allowing what is unseen to factor into the equation. It is always what you block out or ignore that has the greatest effect on what you believe. Be ye therefore open to that which you don't understand in order to become understanding! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PANTHEISM
Pantheism is a belief system that asserts that the entire omniverse is God; I ascribe more to panentheism which asserts that the Divine is within everything everywhere and expresses creation into a perceived dualistic reality. You can see the results of creation in the omniverse but you cannot verify that which is immeasurable (singularity of spirit) with the measurable (the perceived dualistic reality). That is why scientists and creationists lock horns repeatedly. Just because someone has the insight to see intelligent design within the results of creation does not discount its authenticity by someone with a personal agenda manifestation. That is nothing more than ego fighting to assert itself and gain recognition.
Truth never resides in pettiness; it does in being open, honest and forthright in your observations, perceptions and beliefs. The more astrophysicists study quantum mechanics the more intelligent design unfolds in their understanding of the cosmos. They learn each and every day that the unseen has a huge effect on what is seen and that what is seen would not exist without the unseen. The unseen and the seen are locked in a forever dance that we observe, perceive and believe in, in order to survive, strive and thrive.
When anyone denies what is unseen reveals not only their ignorance, but their personal agenda manifestation of the control, domination and manipulation of the facts to their individual skew. What you ignore is the very thing that eradicates your erroneous beliefs. It is in being aware of what is unseen and how it moves the seen that you come to know your Divine purpose unfolding in Divine order. Be ye therefore aware of what you discount in order to live in mediocrity over complete and utter fulfillment! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THE PDR
The perceived dualistic reality is the reflected vibrations from the projection of the stillness of source into polar opposites that vibrate in frequencies and wavelengths.
From under an octave of vibrational frequencies to the culmination of 144 octaves of frequencies back into the perceived stillness, we exist and live out our lives.
From projection to reflection and back, we experience a shared reality of absolute truth being reflected back into relative truths.
Awareness of source and listening to AND acting upon its guidance allows us to experience fulfillment of our Divine purposes in Divine order perfectly. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
7 HABITS
The Seven Habits Of People Who Completely Trust In God by Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EBOOKS
ALREADY HAVE
THEIR REWARD
Those who exalt religion over the Divine already have their reward!
For in loving the Divine within you come to know Divine love more than human beliefs.
Beliefs are repeated thoughts that you accept as true without validation and knowing is allowing that which is great within you to guide and direct your life into complete and utter fulfillment. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
STANDING IN JUDGMENT
Should the lack of mens’ and womens’ parenting skills each be blamed for the problems that children face? Do we stand in judgment of those who have had different experiences than us? Or do we simply write them off as having bad parenting skills?
Each case needs to be evaluated on an individual basis. To lump women or men into categories of being deadbeat, abusive or non-caring without an individual analysis is foolishness at best.
People do things to ensure their self-survival first; do you help your child out first while losing air in an airplane cabin breach and pass out so you cannot help them at all or do you grab the oxygen mask first in order to remain conscious to render further help?
Stop listening to morons with a selfish and uninformed agenda based on so-called biblical principles that have nothing to do with current circumstances. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE BEST YOU CAN BE
What are you doing to be the best you can be? What are you NOT doing because you don’t believe that you can, are fearful of doing it or are simply too lazy to even try?
You are the pilot of your own destiny and until you willingly turn over the wheel to the Divine to guide you, you will hit sandbar after sandbar impeding your way. Let go of what you believe is holding you back and embrace what you know is right in your heart.
Moving forward requires allowing amid perceptions of resisting where standing still or moving backward requires resisting amid perceptions that allowing is doing nothing for you.
It isn’t about you and you alone; it IS about what you have to offer to others and how well you serve their needs while fulfilling yours. Be ye therefore floating down the river unimpeded by what you don’t see while trusting in what you do feel in your heart. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BLOCKED
If you feel you are being blocked, it is you who are giving your power away to that which you believe is blocking you; the question is, do you truly desire to be what you were created to be or are you more content living in mediocrity? You decide. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE ASPECT OF
SPIRITUAL AWARENESS
A revelation about the most misunderstood aspect of humanity known as spirituality.
Many religious leaders espouse opinions that contradict science without understanding that science is the only mechanism that fine tunes our perception of reality.
Through an understanding of the creative power of the universe and/or God, a person can learn how to manipulate creative energy to manifest their innermost desires. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
STAND FIRM
It is when you do good for others that those who only care for themselves are confronted with their own selfishness. The result is that they lash out at those who do good to justify their own miserable existence.
Stand firm on the truth and don't resist their attacks. Let them reveal their own aberrances for what they are; childish attacks at those who see beyond the obvious.
How you handle their aberrances is how they will affect them AND you. When the negativity passes, all that remains is Divine love. Be that which you are and allow only peace, understanding, joy and Divine love to rule! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A NEW CHOICE
Just when you give up on realizing your dreams you have a new choice; to pursue what hasn’t worked before or to let go and allow your greater good to come to you.
The manifestation of your dreams comes not with effort; but with complete trust in the Divine to guide you to complete and utter fulfillment.
As long as you pilot the wheel you will not see the hidden sandbars; it is when you let go of the wheel and trust is when you realize your innermost dreams.
Why are you still holding onto what you believe in favor of what you know? Why? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

MORE SAYINGS
Books are the interdimensional portals to worlds never imagined. Reading their content opens your mind to possibilities not before considered. They stimulate the imagination and without fluent imagination what is the purpose in life? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
In the thinnest layers of reality lie the secrets of all existence; we just need to utilize our imagination and start looking in the right places. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The Republican holier-than-thou Christian way is to point the finger and attack before anyone else gets a look in their closet. More people need to look where the other three fingers are pointing to know the truth! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Wisdom occurs when what appears to be is eradicated by what is; without validity truth is subjective to feelings and never tested for veracity. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Bias is one thing; dogged determination to be ignorant is another! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ANIMAL WELFARE
THEY WON'T
I just love it when people who represent companies, government or political parties say that they ‘can’t’ do this or that. The fact of the matter is that they ‘can’! It’s just that they ‘won’t’! They do this because someone somewhere has established sets of rules, bylaws or laws that set base lines for acceptable and/or aberrant behaviors. On the surface, these behaviors are established to promote the safety and welfare of society. However, this is NOT true when it comes to the greedy and money hungry financial institutions that have caused ALL of the world’s economic ‘problems’. You see, supply and demand ALWAYS works efficiently until money brokers either diminish or inflate the value of goods and services to generate their own ‘windfalls’.
The free and fair market determines the ‘needs’ that we perceive that we need. It is when these financial manipulators infest the monetary ‘game’ with their ‘skew’ on things in order to derive more profits that we all face the diminishing of ‘our’ perceived financial values. Not being able to do something because it is either ‘too difficult to do’ or has ‘never been done before’ are the only viable justifications for ‘can’t’; not for won’t! We can move, rearrange and change ANYTHING that we perceive when we have decent and solid values for the implementation of their ultimate effects. Never take ‘can’t’ for an answer to any problems you believe you have! Always understand that ‘won’t’ means that they can but will not change their perception or yours because it is more financially convenient for them.
The underlying reason is that any financial institution does what they do is for their bottom line. They don’t give a rat’s ass about you and your family. They only care about doing what they do for another day and reaping huge profits as a result. Don’t be fooled by the care and concern that their ‘frontline’ people are ‘instructed’ to show you. It is the icing on the cake of the illusion they want you to believe is real. The next time they tell you that they ‘can’t’, stop them in their tracks and tell them that is not why; tell them that they won’t because they care more for themselves than anyone else.
Stand up for the truth and never allow bullshit to enter your mind. If you do, you will get used to its stench and perceive that it is normal. Normal is caring and concern unilaterally for the health and well-being of everyone and not their bottom line being targeted as a function of profit amplification. Never let anyone ever piss on you and tell you it’s raining. If you do, it is up to you to get an umbrella. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ANIMAL WELFARE
THE POOR IN SPIRIT
According to the scriptures the passage says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ~Yeshua, Matthew 5:3 (King James Bible).”
Following is an analysis of a theologian not named: “Poor in spirit means that you feel you have no moral riches and are in need. You feel you need 'spiritual' life. 'Poor' (πτωχός) used in this verse means 'reduced to being a beggar'. This makes sense and we can confirm its meaning by comparing other statements of Jesus, for he often said the same things in many ways.”
Another analysis states, “The “poor in spirit” are those who cast themselves on God's grace.[1] We personally acknowledge our spiritual bankruptcy before God. It is the tax collector in the temple, beating his breast and saying, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner” (Luke 18:9-14). It is an honest confession that we are sinful and utterly without moral virtues needed to please God. It is the opposite of arrogance. In its deepest form, it acknowledges our desperate need for God. Jesus is declaring that it is a blessing to recognize our need to be filled by God’s grace.”
Now, in the first paragraph the quote stated by the thread owner is wrong. That is NOT what is in the Bible. This is: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Now we need to find out what ‘poor in spirit’ actually means. According to the original Aramaic, the verse says this: “Blessed by The Spirit are the poor, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” ~Yeshua, Matthew 5:3 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
Can you see the difference? It is NOT ‘poor in spirit’ it is “Blessed by the Spirit are the poor!” Why? Because theirs IS the Kingdom of Heaven! God takes care of His children whether they are rich or poor, or in the middle.
The original quote said, “Thank you God for blessing me more than I deserve.” WTF is that? We are the children of God and we deserve the best in life each and every day. Not some bullshit mistranslation by an egomaniacal preacher with an agenda of control, domination and manipulation. If that same preacher truly believed in God he or she would go to the source and know the truth. Don’t buy into this ‘I am a sinner’ horseshit and that I am the lowliest of lows and I don’t even deserve God’s love. What a namby- pamby egotistical rationalization!!! God created you perfectly and NOTHING can ever take that away except YOU and your erroneous beliefs.
Go ahead; read the Word literally without a care in knowing what was REALLY said. Go ahead and spread memes of lies based on misinterpretations. Go ahead and make a day that pushes you down further and further each day to the hell you are creating for yourself. God LOVES you! That’s why He created YOU! He does NOT create SHIT! He creates perfection and it is our own stupid beliefs that alter the truth so that religion can become our middleperson. Go ahead, give your God-given power away to stupidity instead of the truth. It is your choice. Someday you will learn just how blessed you truly are. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
