WHY SO MANY
QUESTIONS?

Life is so full of many questions. Some are answered the moment we ask them while others are answered over time and the unfolding of our understanding of those questions and why we asked them in the first place. Most of the time we can answer who did or did not say or do something. We can identify what we think is happening and what circumstances are occurring. We can observe where things happen and use our measurement of time to determine when they have occurred. We can observe, collate, evaluate and discern how things have occurred. The only question that does not rely on our senses and perceptions from those senses is the question, “Why?”

Why things occur is ultimately an individual conclusion that we arrive at that depends on what we believe and hold as true. If we don’t believe in the Divine our 'why' becomes irrelevant because we simply exist as a physical being in our environments and we have no control over what occurs. If we do believe in the Divine our ‘why’ becomes a product of our past behaviors and subsequent consequences from the true intent of those behaviors. If our intent was not malicious we determine that the ‘why’ of our results were lessons that we needed to learn and behaviors we need to transcend or overcome. If our intent was malicious we determine that the ‘why’ of our results were severe consequences for our apparent aberrant behaviors. This is assuming that we have a grip on our social contract and our integration into our communities and society.

If we are chemically and mentally unstable, our reactions might be predicated by the interfering perceptions generated by the chemistry affecting our brains. 'Why' is the subjective question that depends on our perceptions and beliefs about the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our existence in relation to our environment. All of the other questions (who, what, where, how, when) determine something other than the perception of our existence in our environment or simply are the by-products of our existence. Our experience is derived from these objective perceptions and we subjectively determine why they have occurred. Whether our ‘why’ is true or not is not the benchmark for our perception. It is whether it is valid or not to our belief system that ultimately affects our values.

What we value reveals who we truly are. By regularly questioning our accepted values and rigid beliefs we open the door to a greater understanding of our individual ‘why’s’ in life. We begin to see that everything is connected and that our perceptions are copies of reality and not reality itself. We learn to accept the things we perceive as wrong, but look for ways to make them right without ‘fighting’ them. We allow the presence of the Divine to work through us to affect positive and constructive change and progression into a mutual understanding and dedication toward peace in our world.

Our individual ‘why’ becomes a collective ‘why’. We all learn from each other every day when we learn that ‘why’ is exactly what motivates us to attain mutual understanding and peace. God be with all of you in attaining a complete understanding and sharing of ‘why’. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

YOUR THOUGHTS
AND FEELINGS

Are you having difficulty in being who you know you are? Do you think in your mind almost every moment of your inner passion? Do you feel your juices running when you envision your dream in your mind and feel the joy of it in your heart? Every thought that you think creates a correspondent energy expression that projects into your environment. It creates a polarization that literally focuses your attention on ‘like’ or similar things.

Have you ever bought a car and then noticed how many you see now that you own one? The same amount of cars have always been there and now that you own one your attention is fine tuned to recognize that type of car. This is the basis for the Law of Attraction. You ‘attract’, or should we say recognize, that which your attention is focused upon.

The amount of energy that our brains generate is very weak, however, the thoughts that it maintains are like an electrical relay on the ‘unseen’ dark matter and dark energies ever-present in the omniverse. An electrical relay is a device that uses a smaller and ‘safer’ voltage to switch a higher and more dangerous voltage. But how do these smaller biologically generated ‘voltages’ actually ‘flip’ these virtual relays?

A voltage is describes as an ‘electromotive force’. An EMF (Electromotive Force) is defined as “the energy available for conversion from nonelectric to electric form, or vice versa, per unit of charge passing through the source of the energy; the potential difference between the terminals of a source of electrical energy: expressed in volts” [dictionary.com].

Now, our brains are defined as organs; organs are biological groupings of tissues that aggregate to perform specific bodily functions. In essence, the non-electric tissues generate electrical signals that communicate throughout our bodies. These functions are a result of a ‘difference in potential’ between positive and less positive opposites. The discharge of energy occurs ‘through’ the source of the energy which initiates the thoughts in our brains.

The amount of energy being discharged is measured in volts; the higher the voltage, the more ‘potential’ of energy being discharged. The electrical ‘current’ is the actual energy that traverses the nerves in our bodies and carries the information that is repeatedly sent from our brains to our bodies and vice versa. As our brains develop, new neural pathways are generated due to repeated firings that create pleasurable experiences for us. Also, we come to recognize ‘unpleasurable’ experiences and subconsciously forge new neural pathways to ‘avoid’ any perception of pain.

We, in essence, by our harboring repeated thoughts that become beliefs, rewire our brains to ‘broadcast’ what we ‘believe’ we are. But, if the voltage is too low, how does it trip the virtual omniversal relay? By our emotions! The way we ‘feel’ about our experiences indicates whether we are either resisting our experiences or allowing them. If we feel bad about something, we are initializing the thoughts that we are experiencing to project them onto the omniversal stage which in turn reflects them right back to us. We then experience what is sometimes termed a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’.

If we feel good about something, we are in turn, doing the same thing. Knowing this, why would anyone in their right mind undo their own progress in life? Why would you focus on doubting, worrying and fearing when you KNOW that is what you are creating in your life? Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? We were created with a natural state of well-being. Our thoughts about that natural state and the subsequent feelings we have underlying those thoughts are what ‘rearrange’ the energies of well-being to create that which we hold as true. We are a product of our own ‘re-creation’ based on our thoughts and feelings.

“And what of illness”, you may say? If your thoughts and feelings disallow the normal and natural flow of well-being then the result is infirmity. “What about my financial situation”, you may ask as well. If your thoughts and feelings disallow the normal and natural flow of omniversal abundance then the result is poverty. Sound too simple? Well, perhaps it does but life goes where energy flows, not where energy is restricted, bottlenecked or damned up!

The amazing thing about ‘how things work’ is that at any given moment in time you can ‘change’ the flow of energy from your thoughts and feelings to ‘allow’ what you have heretofore ‘resisted’! You are in command of what you think when you recognize how you are feeling and adjust your thoughts to create feelings of fulfillment instead of disappointment. This simple recognition and respondent ‘altering’ of harboring negative non-productive thoughts move you toward an alignment with your natural state of well-being and move you away from the unnatural states of infirmity, poverty and disappointment. This state of ‘vibrational’ harmony polarizes you with positive energy that ‘attracts’ like states to occur. Why? Because like the car you just bought you now begin to recognize it everywhere in your environment, whereas when it wasn’t predominantly in your consciousness you did not recognize it before.

There is only energy and matter present in the omniverse that springs forth from the Divine state of stillness, silence and total peace. How we observe, think and feel about these energies and matter determines our experiences with them; whether we perceive them as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ to our beings. Accepting things as they are and appreciating them ‘as they are’ is the beginning to being truthful with yourself AND others. This, in turn, creates a state of ‘allowance’ within you that promotes correspondent states of peace, understanding, joy and Divine love. This becomes your attractive ‘like’ factor that brings similar experiences into your existence.

Rejecting things as they are and being too critical about their existence is NOT living in reality. This, in turn, creates a state of ‘resistance’ within you that promotes correspondent states of disharmony, intolerance, unhappiness and the state of not knowing Divine love. This becomes your attractive ‘like’ factor that brings similar experiences into your existence.

We are ALWAYS connected to our Divine source and NOTHING can ever separate us from that connection except when we think and feel that we are separated! Our thoughts and feelings are our direct indicators of whether we are allowing or resisting our natural connection to our source to experience health, wealth, prosperity and abundance or conversely, infirmity, poverty, ongoing loss and dearth.

Control your thoughts and feelings by allowing the natural states of health, wealth, prosperity and abundance to flow through you unfettered by your observations and conclusions in what you have experienced in your life. As with the television, if you don’t like what you are watching, just change the channel! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WORSHIPPING IMPERFECTION

Why would anyone in their right mind worship a God that isn’t perfect? A God that ‘HATES’, destroys and kills His children? That isn’t love…it is FEAR!!! I RESPECT the Divine Infinite Spirit for creating me and I do NOT fear Him.

He loved me enough to create me for His purpose and I will NOT mock Him by anthropomorphizing Him into being a bully.

The Divine is beautiful, loving and kind; the Divine IS LOVE. Any other description mocks the Divine Creator and the Divine Creation.

Be thankful, grateful and loving to the Divine and you will be blessed with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance; for that is the Divine’s natural expression into the omniverse! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
