Denying reality to placate your selfish yearnings of controlling, dominating and manipulating others to manifest your agenda reveals just how vapid you are.
Only when you think and feel more about ‘we’ than ‘me’ will you come to know just how blessed we all are and that working together for the growth and expansion of all is of paramount import.
Accepting reality as it is and building new paradigms of mutual support and Divine love will usher in an ongoing dynamic state of humankind where we flourish in our unity by the strengths in our diversity.
Be perfect by allowing that which is to be what is while co-creating beauty, peace and Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Spirituality is not about sprinkling New Age fairy dust on everything to make it better. It is not about only seeing the good and ignoring the bad. It is about living in truth in your life by sharing Divine love with all of life.
It is accepting what is and allowing it to be without rejecting its meaning and resisting its experience. It is being that which you know you are despite your erroneous beliefs about whom and what you are. It IS being real.
Please come and read about the reality of living in your spirituality each and every day by tuning into The Spirituality Post Daily. Here you will find not only what is but what YOU can do about it! Thank you for tuning in! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If your argument for Donald J. Trump is that he's a successful businessman and can lead us to prosperity, then I have only one thing to say to you; NOT! When your success is predicated by taking advantage of others it is not success; it is skullduggery!
It is employing a cunning, crafty one-upmanship as a technique of keeping another person slightly off balance in order to gain an advantage. When the advantage is gained, the person utilizes leverage to gain a foothold over another. Does this sound like sharing Divine love? Or is it exactly what it is?
Selfishness, self-centeredness and self-aggrandizement from an evil soul who only cares about what they can gain from others; NOT what they can do to help others! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
OPTIMAL HEALTH
Optimal health comes from living in inner peace…
Optimal wealth comes from living in deep understanding…
Optimal prosperity comes from living in ongoing joy…
Optimal abundance comes from living in Divine love everlasting…
~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT'S AN EXCUSE?
What is an excuse? Is it an indirect apology for your aberrant behaviors? Is it a way for you to minimize the blame on yourself? Or is it a way for you to justify your behaviors when you have blatantly screwed up?
Whatever it may be, it is borne from your ego’s need to protect itself at all costs. It is an internal program of your self-survival mechanism that insists that you MUST appear acceptable to others even when you know that their assessment of you doesn’t really matter!
It takes guts to admit when you are wrong because it reveals that the truth is more important to you than protecting the image you want others to believe about you. This very action aligns you perfectly with Divine order and clearly demonstrates the correct behavior that others should emulate. Learning to admit your mistakes is not only ‘strength’ of character but ultimately a virtue.
Virtues are living in goodness to yourself and others by displaying righteous behaviors and moral excellence. It is employing rectitude to express ethical principles that contribute to the growth and expansion of life more than the stagnation and contraction of experiences to express selfish yearnings that help no one.
Stop making excuses for your selfish and aberrant behaviors and get over yourself. Only when you serve others with Divine love will you be able to get on in your life and be whom and what you were created to be; Divine love everlasting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WAR OF WORDS
Blaming Obama and supporting Assad shows exactly what Trump is all about. Maintaining a war of words against those who seek transparency is a distraction to what you are doing behind the scenes.
If you attack that which could identify your aberrances then you become justified to those who blindly follow you. However, those of us who see what you are doing are not fooled by your clandestine agenda.
You will be exposed for who and what you truly are; a Fascist Pig with a self-supporting agenda to elevate yourself at the expense of all of us. C’est la guerre, Trump! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEVING THE PICTURE
If you believe that this picture is not real because your political agenda manifestation won't allow it, then you are one sorry excuse for a human being.
Your clutching to your erroneous beliefs in the face of innocent deaths is most repulsive. You are more concerned about your beliefs and their expressions more than the truth.
How dare you elevate what you have chosen to believe over the lives of innocents! You are despicable, deplorable and reprehensible at best.
Grow up and smell the smell of death by those who care not what you believe; they only care about what they believe! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FALSE FLAG
After researching most of the Syrian false flag propaganda on the Internet it seems to me that their agenda manifestation is to color themselves as self-righteous even though their behaviors clearly demonstrate an attitude of control, domination and manipulation of others to further their own ends.
Therefore, my conclusion is that their egos and self-serving agendas are more in command of this situation than what benefits everyone. Only ego denies reality as it is in order to favor what one believes is real instead of what is actually real.
Yes, there are 'alternative facts' associated with these occurrences but they are generated from fear and lust for power more than the equanimity of all. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TURNING YOUR BACK
When you turn your back on the atrocities levied against innocent people in the world you are too comfortable with your safety and security to realize how you would react to someone affronting your home and family.
Only when you put yourself into the reality of what others are experiencing will you come to an understanding of the evil leaders who inflict death and destruction on their own people.
Tyrants, dictators and progenitors of evil need to be removed from power and punished for their crimes against humanity!
If you don’t move toward this, you are selfish, self-serving and totally out of touch with reality! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MENTALITY
The President of China visits DJT’s home in Florida and learned some new math. What’s the difference between 59 missiles and POTUS #45? A POTUS with the mentality of a 14 year old flexing his muscles and beating his chest! DJT played right into the hands of Putin and Assad while China watched our blatant weakness; DJT! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PUPPET HAVING HIS STRINGS PULLED
Trump owes billions to the Russian Oligarchs and he does what they say. We have been comprised as a nation and where are the spines of the Reps in challenging him? Oh yeah, that's right; they are more concerned about being in power than effecting positive change. Sorry, I forgot! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GPS
My son and I were in New York once late for a meeting with investors. He kept using the GPS and its signal kept reflecting off of the tall buildings and misguiding him. Finally, I told him to pull over.
I jumped out of the van and yelled to a guy on the corner, "Hey buddy, where is "the building" (I can't remember what building now). He gave me directions and my son said, "Wow, Dad, how did you do that?"

WHAT'S A TRAITOR?
What is a traitor? A person who commits treason by betraying his or her country. What is treason? The offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign; a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state; the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery [dictionary.com]. According to Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.”
“By Section 110 of Article III. of the Constitution of the United States, it is declared that:
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason."
“U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 115 › § 2381
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.).”
What does this mean? According to the U.S. Constitution either the levying of war against the U.S. or adhering to the enemies by giving them aid and comfort are grounds for treason. If you violate the laws of the Constitution to hinder the normal operation of government you are, in effect, giving aid and comfort to them; especially if they are enemies. Mitch McConnell thwarted the SCOTUS hearing for Merrick Garland for political reasons that, in effect, gave aid and comfort to our enemies because our government wasn’t operating at full efficiency. His changing of the rules in the Senate to assure an up and down vote of Neil Gorsuch without a possible filibuster reveals that his holding back of Merrick Garland’s appointment was politically based and NOT government based. He IS guilty of treason and should be tried as such. He has used, at every turn, his political power to jam up the normal operation of the legislative branch of our government to further his political gains. He has violated our Constitution by his actions and should be tried as such. Since he was never tried by anyone for his family’s charge of smuggling cocaine into this country on his family’s shipping line, we can see just how deep his tentacles run. He needs to be removed from office and never be allowed to hold office again. Call your representatives and demand his removal! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CHOOSE WHAT IS BENEFICIAL FOR ALL!
The number one problem in our world today is in allowing our beliefs to supersede our knowing of the truth.
We must learn to stop choosing what is comfortable to us and start choosing what is beneficial to all. Only then will we be able to live in truth, live for the truth and live by the truth.
Living on the hamster wheel of belief will leave us all exhausted, dizzy and not fruitful.
Truth requires stepping off of the wheel and standing firmly on the facts of reality and not the belief in the illusion that makes us comfortable. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Was the bombing of innocent civilians in Syria with chemical weapons true or not? As with all events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behaviors of people and/or objects, opinions are generated that fulfill the agenda manifestations of those who evaluate the facts, discern their implications and judge their possible effects on them.
Whether this is true or not the bottom line is that the 14 yo mentality of our POTUS he flexed his muscles, ripped open his shirt and banged his chest. He is escalating violence and for what purpose? The control, domination and manipulation of the natural resources of land, water, petroleum and minerals!
Controlling natural resources guarantees profit generation for DJT and his Russian Oligarch buddies. Whether you believe this is a false flag operation or not, the results are the same. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PHILANTHROPY
There are many financially rich people who do their part without the glory, recognition and the accolades of others. Those who demonstrate their philanthropy in public already have their reward FROM the public. Those who do it in private have the rewards of peace, understanding, joy and Divine love everlasting!
As Yeshua said, “5And when you pray, be not like the pretenders who like to stand in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets to pray, that they may be seen by the children of men, and truly I say to you, they have received their reward. 6But you, when you pray, enter into your closet and lock your door, and pray to your father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you in public. 7And whenever you are praying, you shall not be verbose like the heathen, for they think that they are heard by speaking much. 8Therefore you shall not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. ~Matthew 6:5-8 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English).
In other words, do what is just, right and good in the world without looking to see who is watching. Do what needs to be done from your heart. Give of your talents, skills and abilities to others as acts of sharing Divine love. Feed others with what they need to grow and expand and in the process you too will be edified. Just because some of the rich use their power to ride herd over all of us does not mean that being rich is bad or detrimental. Those who are financially rich and give to others have done exactly what Yeshua said above. Be that which gives without seeking recognition and all else will be added unto you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

TESTS
A ‘test’ is the means by which the presence, quality or genuineness of anything is determined. It is a means of implementing a trial of the quality of something by putting it to a test. It is a particular process or method for trying or assessing the understanding of the value or process of something [dioctionary.com]. Does God test us? If so, why would the Divine do that? Is that actually necessary? Or do we simply believe that anything of value in our lives must be tried in the crucible of fire?
Whatever it may be, it is merely a belief and NOT a fact. We, as human beings, constantly need to be reassured of what had once assured us. Why does this happen? It is because the further in time we move away from our decisions to believe something the more we begin to see confirmations and challenges to what we believe.
We begin to doubt what we have experienced until we start to worry about whether or not we arrived at a sound decision. We then learn to fear what we do not know and choose to clutch tightly to the beliefs that ensure our comfort, safety and security even though the truth might be totally opposite of our conclusions.
In the article “Seven Examples Of Testing by Tom Shepard”, the author utilizes biblical scriptures to define why God ‘tests’ us and our convictions to what He wants us to believe. These tests ultimately prove to God our loyalty and supposition. WTF? Why would the Divine need us to prove anything whatsoever? Does Divine love require proof? Or is it freely given to all despite their beliefs; whether accurate or erroneous!
The tests in the article are as follows:
Patience – Understanding Divine order
Faith – Trusting in God
Love - Reveals our priorities, desires and whom and what we love most.
Endurance – Holding true to our desires no matter what occurs
Humility – Looking at all of life equally.
Sacrifice – Are we willing to let our yearnings go?
Obedience – Are we willing to allow what unfolds even though it appears other than what we desire?
If tests are the means by which our trust is measured by the Divine, then what about the test of time? The test of time demonstrates what continues to work well, consistently and yield similar results over a long period of time. If the elements of time (past, present and future) exist concurrently, wouldn’t the Divine already know what we have done, what we are doing and what we will do without having to test us? After all, the Divine is present everywhere, is all knowing, all powerful and ever creative. If these attributes are all true, then any form of testing to prove your loyalty to the Divine are totally unnecessary!
If the Divine tests us, how does He score us on the test? A test score is nothing more than a reflection of the time, energy and effort you put into preparing for it. Whatever score you get, learn from it and make the steps to sharpen the saw, as Dr. Stephen Covey once said. Clear your mind and know you will do well when you trust in the Divine completely without having to pass some arbitrary test!
Testing is means of understanding whether or not someone understands the values or process of something in a temporal perceived dualistic reality. Looking to others to be the source of your good can get convoluted at times. Just because someone has worldly connections and paths to betterment doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the ones that will bring you Divine blessings. In Bob Sutton’s ‘Fifteen Things I Believe’ blog, Belief #9 states: “The best test of a person's character is how he or she treats those with less power.” To amplify, it would be our ‘perception’ of their power. A person who seems to be ‘less than’ is quite often ‘more than’ because they live a simple and uncluttered life where their values are clear and distinct; whereas a person of ‘greater power’ is caught up so much in self-reliance that they cannot see and exercise their values clearly.
When your actions align with your Divine purpose, manifestation of that Divine purpose is the result. There is no right way or wrong way to attain this dynamic state of creativity. The true test of whether you are on the right track or not is whether the unfolding of your desires through ongoing expectation is proceeding in Divine order and whether or not you are aligning yourself with it in Divine order. When you trust in the Divine within you to guide you is the point where you accept, allow and experience your natural state of complete well-being. In this state of well-being you NEVER have to be tested! You know whom and what you are and so does the Divine.
Stop living in doubt of your talents; worry over your skills; and fear of your abilities to fulfill your Divine purpose in Divine order. Don’t subjugate your power of co-creation to the belief that you must be tested for your loyalty to the Divine within. Only what exists in the temporal perceived dualistic reality needs to be tested; NOT your relationship with the Divine! Be at peace within; understand your role in unfolding Divine order; live in ongoing joy every day; and share Divine love with all! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TRAITORS
Donald Trump speaking at Neil Gorsuch’s swearing in ceremony 4/10/2017:
“Justice Gorsuch, you are now entrusted with the sacred duty of defending our Constitution. Our country is counting on you to be wise, impartial and fair — to serve under our laws, not over them, and to safeguard the right of the people to govern their own affairs. I have no doubt you will rise to the occasion and that the decisions you will make will not only protect our Constitution today, but for many generations of Americans to come…And although he could not be here today, I especially want to express our gratitude to Senator Mitch McConnell for all that he did to make this achievement possible. So, thank you, Mitch.”
Mitch McConnell speaking about the “Biden Rule” which is NOT a law:
“The next justice could fundamentally alter the direction of the Supreme Court and have a profound impact on our country, so of course the American people should have a say in the court’s direction," he said. "The Senate will continue to observe the 'Biden Rule' so the American people have a voice in this momentous decision. The American people may well elect a president who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next president may also nominate somebody very different. Either way, our view is this: Give the people a voice in filling this vacancy."
John McCain speaking on the radio in Philadelphia pre-election:
“I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up.”
Now, partisan politics abound with the Republican party. John McCain, in the above statement warned everyone that they would be united against anyone that HRC would nominate if she were elected. Was that his job? Or was his job to at least meet with and hear out the nominated justice? Mitch McConnell stated that the “Biden Rule” was in effect during an election year. Not a law and totally erroneous. He wouldn’t even meet with Justice Garland. And then fearless leader today had the over-the-top cojones to state that our country is counting on Neil Gorsuch to be “wise, impartial and fair --- to server under our laws, not over them, and to safeguard the right of the people to govern their own affairs.” WTF???
Since when did John McCain, Mitch McConnell AND DJT act in a wise, impartial and fair manner? What about how unfair and highly partial Mitch McConnell was to Merrick Garland? And DJT thanked him today. What about Trump’s stock in Raytheon which builds Tomahawk missiles that now have to be replaced for his over-the-top demonstration of childish bravado? Who’s zooming who here? We are all being taken advantage of by con-artists, thieves and financially lustful individuals who only care about raising their bottom line. John McCain has served this country but has been involved in questionable dealings with foreign financial oligarchs. So have Mitch McConnell and DJT. They get richer while the rest of us have to deal. This all needs to stop!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPEAK THE TRUTH
You sometimes get killed when you speak the truth because those who disguise the truth in erroneous beliefs need to manifest their selfish and twisted agendas in order to feel fulfilled.
Not only are they missing the mark completely, they are causing pain and suffering for many who believe their lies.
Always speak the truth for in truth you demonstrate your true values and contribute to the lives of all! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CIRCULATING YOUR JOY
Giving is the first fundamental law of life-and is the first law of all creation. ~ There is a right and wrong way to give and receive. We are continually drawing unto ourselves what we give and expect. This law teaches us that we must be in the flow of giving and receiving to manifest our dreams.
“Heal the sick, purify the lepers and cast out demons; freely you have received, freely give.” Yeshua, Matthew 10:8 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
HOUSE OF CARDS
Kenneth Robert "Ken" Buck is an American politician who is the U.S. Representative for Colorado's 4th congressional district. A Republican, he previously served as District Attorney for Weld County, Colorado ]. His new book, Draining The Swamp, talks about the goings on in Washington, D.C. “Lavish parties. Committee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play corruption. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on major legislation going to the highest bidder. Welcome to Washington, D.C., the swamp that President Donald Trump was elected to drain. Congressman Ken Buck is blowing the whistle on the real-life House of Cards in our nation's capital .
As a guest this morning on Morning Joe, Mr. Buck spoke about raising the retirement age to 70, cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; which happens to be the smallest slice of budget pie. If you are a bricklayer or carpenter do you still want to be working at that age? If you are a CEO or upper management perhaps; but not a physical labor blue collar worker! What about the military? Drain the swamp he says? Yes, we should drain the swamp of liars, lobbyists and representatives who bleed the rest of us. That’s the swamp that should be drained! It always amazes me how these entitle types decide when and who should retire at what specific age. Everybody ages differently and their assessment of that is meaningless. This guy is a real piece of Republican work who never walks a mile in someone else’s shoes. Yet, he pontificates about retirement age and cutting programs that many need to survive. Again, not able to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes!
HARMONY WITH NATURE
Discarding beliefs and knowing the presence within brings us into harmony with nature; where we know we are all connected and that life is the expression of Divine presence. We are not what we believe we are what we know. Know peace, understanding, joy and Divine love and we all become exactly what we were created to be. Spirits of light and love that are here to fulfill health, wealth, prosperity and abundance for all. Be that! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Why is honesty an expensive gift? Is it because it is so rare that it makes it more valuable? Or is it because it is the highest form of respect for another person that you value them enough to speak only the truth to them? The only expense of honesty is in the delivering of it to another despite their not wanting to hear it.
It takes focus, forthrightness and respect to be honest with anyone. If people don’t value honesty above all else they are cheap in the aspect that the fulfilling of their beliefs is more important than the truth. They take the easy way out so they can feel good about what they believe and how it can be manifested and keep them in their comfort zone.
Truth jars you out of your comfort zone in order to allow you to see what is real and what isn’t! Cheap people are those who take the easy way out every time because it gives them instant gratification about their beliefs; whether accurate or erroneous. People who open their hearts and allow that which is true for all to be realized are those who truly care about others.
Help those who need help and guide those who have been helped to understand that being honest is the gateway to being fulfilled! You can do it! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
PHALLASIS
George Carlin once spoke about missiles being a phallic symbol. If that is so, should we call North Korea’s 4 second post lift off explosion as ‘bloitus interruptus’; or perhaps premature bombification? Whatever it may be the sabre rattling between North Korea’s dictator and DJT is getting old. The ‘amping up’ of testosterone from one young fat man and one old fat man is very immature. It reveals that the stupidity of the ‘king’ is only fueled by the ignorance of the people.
When people turn off ‘thinking’ in favor of ‘emotionally reacting’ and believing what makes them feel comfortable we ALL have a problem. We all have to live with one another and until we accept the challenge of ‘growing up’ and dealing with our differences in a mature fashion we will still hear the clanging of sabre rattling by those who put their own selfish agendas over the will of the people.
Just like Kim Jong Un keeps his people in check by demonstrating his bravado with missile launches and military equipment parades Donald J. Trump sends 59 missiles to Syria, drops the Mother Of All Bombs in Afghanistan and sends a Naval Strike Group toward the Korean peninsula. These two only care ‘what it looks like’ to the rest of the world and their own people.
The only problem is that we have adolescents with over the top testosterone levels having their fingers on the nuclear triggers. It’s time for the people in this world to grow up and learn how to think for themselves instead of blindly following children in a playground defending their supposed territories. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
UNNECESSARY REVIEW
Why did Donald Trump order a review of our visa program? Is it to encourage the hiring of Americans? Or is it targeted to encourage the hiring of immigrants to work low wage jobs? According to the famous physicist, Michio Kaku the greatest advantage we have is in importing the most brilliant minds in the world who are innovative and cutting edge. He claims that the H1B Visa program is our secret weapon to staying current and moving ahead in science and technology. This is not only true, but necessary for us to maintain and progress in a leadership role in the evolving world.
However, DJT is now trying to increase low wage workers and stifle our edge in progressing ahead in the world. Trump wants low wage workers to be his support staff at his highly priced venues. He is more concerned about the dumbing-down of America in order for his Plutocrat friends and himself to hire unskilled workers to run their resorts, casinos and hotels. He is a traitor to our country and is using his position to bolster his businesses; at OUR expense.
Why won’t he release his tax returns? Could it be that we would actually see just how much he is profiting from all of us while utilizing tax payer dollars to visit his ‘southern white house’ almost every weekend? Mar-a-lago’s prices have almost doubled due to this. If Trump is under an audit by the IRS, then why doesn’t he release the letter from the IRS that told him he was under audit? That is not illegal!!! He is lying, cheating and stealing from all of us.
Stop this insanity and DEMAND his impeachment. We need to lead in this world by setting a positive and progressive example in order to live in peace with each other. We don’t need to say we are sending an armada to the Korean peninsula to monitor North Korea that is actually sailing toward Australia. This, in itself, demonstrates hollow threats from an unstable mind. Step up to the plate and eliminate this pariah of truth from determining our collective futures! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
REMINDER
Before we can shine
Our light on our path
We need to
Remind ourselves
Of who we are
And where we come from
~Åsa Karlsson
HMMM...
I have just been accused of being religious and dogmatic by someone who believes they actually know what that means. Hmmm. If they knew what those terms actually mean they would know that I am anti-religious and anti-dogmatic more than their antithetical accusations of my purposeful expressions and behaviors. Being ‘religious’ means relating to, or being concerned with, religion as a way of finding the truth through piety, devout or godly behaviors; being scrupulously faithful, conscientious or righteous in order to seek favor with a deity.
Being ‘dogmatic’ is relating to, or of the nature of, a dogma or dogmas or any strong set of principles concerning faith, morals or behaviors of those laid down by a church or doctrinal group of individuals that assert their opinions in an arrogant or opinionated manner. Now, I might be guilty of being opinionated when it comes to matters of religion and doctrine, but not in a way that says that anyone HAS to believe what I say. They might not agree in how I say it, but I have always said that I do NOT ascribe to any religion or dogma and that my purpose in writing is to undermine any and all religions, dogma and doctrines that inhibit the individual’s right to seek out their Higher Power, God or the Divine IN THEIR OWN WAY!!!
Can I be any clearer than that? Or must I be subject to the off the cuff whims of those who cannot, will not or simply choose not to understand the depth of what I am saying? I have dedicated my life to sharing my blessings and have been respected, disrespected and/or ignored for doing so. I appreciate the respect and disrespect as well as being ignored. Why? Because I have a purpose to fulfill that is NOT dependent on anyone’s approval, disapproval or apathy concerning it. I will continue to call out, point out and nail to the wall any and all that choose to diminish what I say because of their own egotistical agenda of controlling, dominating and manipulating the facts to suit their own agenda manifestation.
I care not what they say, how they say it and how they feel about it. That is for them to deal with and not me. I care for others but I refuse to allow their petty accusations, misunderstandings of terms and individual selfish agenda manifestations to affect my gifts from the spirit. Perhaps someday they will wake up to what they are doing and learn to be a decent person instead of one who seeks to be treated in a way that they believe they should be treated instead of a way they know they should. Peace to all and be blessed! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TALKING TO THE DIVINE
How do we talk to the Divine? Do we ask questions in order to get answers to resolve our unknowns? Do we beseech God to help ourselves feel better during what appears to be hard times for us? Do we solicit or petition God with our requests to meet our needs, placate our wants, fulfill our desires or delineate our expectations? Or do we learn to simply allow that which created us to love us unconditionally? We pray as a means to talk to God and we meditate to listen to God within us. But how does God truly communicate with us? Is it with His still small voice that creates words, images and feelings that we understand? Or is it with an inner silence that we come to know who we need to interact with in our lives; what we need to do with them; where we need to interact with them; how we need to interact with them; when we need interact with them; and why we are even interacting with them at all?
God does NOT speak to us in beliefs. We create our own beliefs by repeating thoughts and feelings that comfort us and make us feel secure; whether they are true or not! God speaks to us in a still, silent and spiritual knowing that centers our beings with an understanding of truth and feelings of fulfillment. Knowing comes from living in Divine peace; understanding that God is always at the center of your being; living in ongoing joy for experiencing your life; and sharing Divine love by giving your talents, skills and abilities to others in Divine service. Knowing is NOT believing! It is allowing that which created you to sustain you and fulfill you with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance every day of your life. Beliefs start you on the journey of life and knowing brings you safely to your destination.
Each and every day discharge your erroneous beliefs and participate in life in order to allow Divine knowing to guide your steps. No one can tell you, preach to you or guide you to be whom and what the Divine created you to be. Only you can by getting out of your own way and allowing the Divine to mold you and shape you into fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order perfectly. Listen to Divine knowing and not your beliefs to become what you KNOW you need to be. Reject what others say that you must do; accept what the Divine guides you to do; don’t resist what you believe is against you; allow what you know is for you. It’s as simple as that and the only complications that come are those you create by listening to your erroneous beliefs over the knowing of God. Be perfect as God has created you to be and you will be perfect. May God bless you now and always! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
