COMMITTMENT TO ACCURACY
The level of commitment to accuracy these days is horrendous at best because it is acceptable and fashionable to be a moron. The importance seems to be on getting the message out no matter what.
It is despicable at best when content and substance or form and procedure are more or less important to one another. If your message is powerful in content and substance, then its value is worth being presented in the correct form and procedure.
If your message is correct in form and procedure, and its value is not predicated by content and substance, then it has no value being expressed in the appropriate way.
The marriage of content and substance with form and procedure reflects the value of proper presentation and understanding of that presentation.
Be thorough in your communications with others and nothing will be left to misinterpretation. Be ye therefore accurately communicative! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THE NECESSARY STEPS
If you don’t make the necessary steps to effect change in your world you will always have to settle for less than what you want.
When you don’t participate in life and share your talents, skills and abilities in Divine service to others, you are, in effect, being selfish.
Stepping out of your ‘me’ zone and operating from the ‘we’ zone allows you to participate in what goes on around you. Stop being foolish, throwing your arms in the air and saying that you don’t DO politics!
If you don’t vote the selfish and greedy fools out of office, then you deserve what you will get; politics will DO you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEYOND YOUR
WILDEST DREAMS
You are beyond your wildest dreams, hopes and aspirations. You are greater than what others think you are; in fact, what you even think you are. Stop listening to what the world says you are and be who the Divine created you to be.
It is YOUR choice and no one else’s. If that is true, why do keep looking outside of yourself for what can only be found within you? Ask yourself that question until you know the answer.
Then, and only then, will you truly to be grateful to the Divine for creating you with a Divine purpose that you know deep within your being. Be ye therefore greater than your perceptions! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE REFLECTION
OF ABSOLUTES
In the definition of ‘belief’ lies the reflection of absolutes. Beliefs are NOTHING more than repeated thoughts accepted as true.
They are NOT Divine 'knowing', which in the strictest sense are absolutes without beliefs.
Beliefs are subsequent to observations and perceptions and become convictions of ‘how things are’ without ongoing validation.
Truth is ALWAYS validated and belief is SOMETIMES validated. There IS a difference! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ACTING WITHOUT EXPECTATION
If you choose to act without expectations of living in your Divine purpose you will NEVER get the desires that God planted in your heart.
When the Divine said, “Let there be light!” it was expected that light would come forth and it did.
We are divine co-creators and if we proclaim, “Let my Divine purpose be fulfilled” and don’t expect it to happen, it never will.
Faith allows the unfolding of your Divine purpose in Divine order and trust expects it to happen to the benefit of all.
Be ye therefore expectant of the fulfillment of your Divine desires! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SITE HOSTING
WHAT I AM
I cannot be other than what I am. If I listen to everything that others tell me what I should do, say and feel, I will be denying just who and what I am. I choose to say what my heart knows; not what my mind believes.
Being true to yourself is the greatest act of love you could ever share. Don’t think that changing into what others say you must do will make you better than what you already are.
You are Divine love. Only you can get out of your own way; others cannot do it for you. Be ye therefore knowing of your heart! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT IS NATURAL
It is natural for some other species, as well as humans, to be homosexual. Every thought in your mind is an electro-chemical exchange and we all have proclivities to follow what we 'feel' is right for us. What some term as perversion is actually their own perversion of thought as being right or wrong based on their accepted beliefs and NOT on what is demonstrated in nature.
We the people ARE the government that sets policies and laws and the Creator of this omniverse is within each and every one of us sharing Divine love in our hearts. If you so choose to deny that love and label it as perversion, then it is you who is trying to teach, force, march, picket and fight for YOUR viewpoint to be accepted as true. How dare you think that you know what is beautiful and loving in someone else's heart as being perverse based on your standards of belief?
I suggest anyone who believes that homosexuality is a perversion needs serious introspection and needs to practice what Yeshua shared with us and NOT what some idiotic homophobic preacher decided is right and wrong. Those without sin cast the first stone; perhaps you should drop yours. Be ye therefore understanding and non-judgmental ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

CHOOSING TO FIGHT
As long as you choose to fight you are resisting and creating more of the same. Choosing love is never choosing to fight 'the good fight'. It is allowing the presence of Divine love to be your essence of well-being and NOT your ego.
Your ego always wants to fight and resist that which it perceives is threatening to its self-survival. As long as you choose to fight that which you perceive is against you, you will continue to re-create it in your life.
Let go of anything and everything that distracts you from fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. You will never be completely one with your well-being until you do. Be ye therefore allowing of your well-being! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BELIEFS?
I have been accused of posting BELIEFS and NOT scientific research by a reader. I sometimes post hypotheses that come from following logical conclusions. I don't espouse beliefs over knowing.
I back scientific conclusions when they are based on thorough research and NOT scientific dogma. Unfortunately, some people only follow what research and experimentation has yielded WITHOUT logical supposition. That is fine, however, to know the truth goes beyond what we can sense.
Science can validate beliefs but beliefs cannot always validate scientific research. When you make science your ‘God’ you are limiting your scope of reality to what you sense and not what the entire picture reveals.
Only when you integrate knowledge and intuition through understanding do you come to know the whole of reality. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIVING IN A BUBBLE
When you live in a bubble of scientific conclusion as being the whole of reality it reveals that you have chosen to limit your scope to what you observe, perceive and believe.
If you cannot see the truth in that, then you have missed the boat that leads you from belief to knowing.
Perhaps someday you will realize that fact and come to know that what you sense reveals only a portion of what exists. Be ye therefore open to revelation! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SEPARATING POLITICS
FROM RELIGION
You cannot live by separating politics from religion. It takes a mixture of respect for others' belief systems and community sharing to survive.
We all ascribe to different beliefs and until we respect them and integrate their ‘principles’ into our political system without arguing over the beliefs and where they originated, we will continue to separate that which is dependent on one another.
Religion has a political structure within it and politics has a religious structure within it as well. They are not mutually exclusive. If you choose to not discuss politics and religion you are avoiding that which affects all of our lives collectively. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE NOT?
If you are what you think, then if you are not thinking, then does that mean you are not? Most people don’t think; they emotionally react to environmental cues. So does this mean that they are their reactions more than anything else?
When you identify more with your emotions than thinking things through, you reveal that your actions are predicated more by your ego than the Spirit of God.
Well-being bathes you with Divine love each and every moment of your life; it is you who blocks that flow with your own egotistical and selfish ‘stinkin’ thinkin’.
Stop being your own worst enemy and get out of your own way to allow that which is blessing you to continue to bless you. Be ye therefore forthright and just in your actions toward yourself and others! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SAYINGS
I think that it should be 'Your perception of God's plan'. God gives us the best path and it is we who take the convoluted one because we are trying to appease our egos. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
"There are three steps in the revelation of any truth: in the first, it is ridiculed; in the second, it is resisted; in the third, it is considered self-evident." -Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
Wealth is the result of knowing your desires and expecting their manifestation. not through hard work but through Divine allowance. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Real wealth is NOT limited to any specific thing; it is the allowance of omniversal abundance flowing through you from your inner well-being. It manifests in many ways; some ways that we choose not to see and others that we do. Be ye therefore wealthy! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
True knowing is being Divine love and living from your inner well-being. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is better to resonate than promulgate, communicate than to disseminate and individuate than to percolate. Be ye therefore centered! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE SAME MIND
The same mind that you have been blessed with that allows you to discern reality and its apparent behaviors, is the same mind that overlooks and confuses what it senses in order to reinforce its accepted beliefs. Discernment means to separate, distinguish or sift out that which is from that which isn’t. It is the ability to apprehend or recognize a pattern or object’s behavior as being different from another object’s behavior by observation and subsequent perception.
Once something’s behavior has been discerned it can be judged by an individual as to whether or not its apparent behavior is safe or threatening to your self-survival. If you determine that it is threatening, then you move away from its behavior; if it is safe, you move toward it. Fight or flight is determined by the level of fright or confidence you CHOOSE to act upon. Do you discern the fact that the light that falls on your face from the Sun is over 10,000.000 years old? Do you worry about that? Or do you simply absorb the heat and light and feel the joy from its warmth?
The antonym of discernment is stupidity. Stupidity is the inability to pay attention to what one’s senses are telling them and follow their erroneous beliefs despite what is literally happening. It literally means to be struck senseless. Discernment is necessary to acquire knowledge of your environment because it separates events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and behaviors from one another. Once that knowledge of existence is obtained through discernment, wisdom congeals it through understanding into Oneness.
Our minds are energies of consciousness that are always interacting with our environments for us to either move forward with confidence and expectation of divine fulfillment, or move backward with fright and unlikelihood of our ego’s beliefs. Be ye therefore discerning, confident, expectant and trusting of fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

PREPARE FOR THE WORST?
I’m sure that most have heard the expression, “Expect the best and prepare for the worst.” Who is attributed to making this statement? Is this statement accurate? Is it complete? It turns out that the third sentence has been left out of this aphorism. Zig Ziglar made this statement as follows: “Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”
Now many say that we shouldn’t have expectations. We should move through life allowing things to be as they are come what may. Is this practical? Are we swimming in a soup of reality moving aimlessly around the pot with no sense of direction? Or are we destined to fulfill a Divine purpose that lies dormant as a seed in our hearts?
It turns out that what we don’t expect to happen never does happen. “But what of unanticipated surprises”, you might say? As our lives unfold in this ‘soup’ of the perceived dualistic reality, we interact with our environments and strive for our independence. Is independence that important? Yes it is; however, interdependence is MORE important! Why?
We might appear to be separate beings that live our lives as islands in a sea of community and expression. It is when we learn to share our blessings with others that we truly come to know our divinity and interdependence with ALL of life. If we aimlessly move through life without expecting to manifest our Divine desires that are a GIFT from God, then we are doomed to living from our false sense of self; our egos.
The third sentence of this aphorism reveals the mindset and heartset that we should adopt in order to fulfill our Divine purposes in Divine order. When our thinking aligns with our feelings we come to know that we must take what has come our way and make the best of it. I propose a modification of this statement as follows:
Expect the best: Trust in God completely and allow Divine love to move through you from your inner well-being to be effectively expressed in your world.
Anticipate what you would do if your perception of the worst were to befall you: Don’t prepare for the worst because you are co-creating that possibility in your life. Look at the downside and create contingency plans so that you land on your feet and gain a greater perspective.
Take advantage of the circumstances that have unfolded whether they appear to be in your favor or not: Whatever unfolds in your life use the resultant expressions as a springboard for positive change. Most people don’t seek change; they simply rearrange ‘things’ and ‘people’ to accommodate their ego’s yearnings. Opportunities are ALWAYS present for those who can clearly see them despite the fog of apparent confusion. As Mr. Ziglar said; “Capitalize on what comes.” Do this no matter what and don’t react with negativity over your shallow perspectives of what has unfolded.
Following this line of thinking and feeling, the new statement would be: “Expect the best. Anticipate what the worst ‘might’ be and prepare a plan of action no matter what unfolds. Take advantage of what unfolds and proact with what is beneficial for ALL concerned.”
By accepting life how it is as it unfolds you can more effectively proact ‘from’ it instead of reacting ‘to’ it. If you don’t expect the best to unfold it surely NEVER will. If you don’t anticipate what might happen, you will always be caught ‘with your pants down’. If you don’t take advantage of what unfolds, you will retreat into your shell of your ego and blame what’s outside of you for what has happened and NOT be accountable for your participation in what has happened.
As the saying goes; “Keep your eye on the prize.” What is the prize? It is the thinking that got you to where you allowed the prize to unfold in Divine order and the feelings of joy from experiencing the fulfillment of your expected desires.
Be ye therefore honest enough with yourself to be accountable for your actions and participation in life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ELUDING YOUR WELL-BEING
Remember this man the next time you take a breath, drink a glass of water and drive down the road burning gas in your car.
If it weren't for his steadfastness to the truth and unwavering dedication to our collective purpose, millions upon millions would now be dead at the hands of the ruthless petroleum profit mongers.
After watching his feature on Cosmos, I did some more research on this man. When we all start acting like this and say "NO MORE" to those who choose poisoning us over protecting us, we will leave our children and grandchildren a world that will be more detrimental to life than supportive and loving.
Stand up for the truth NO MATTER WHAT!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

THE EGO'S YEARNINGS
What some people refer to as 'destructive' desires are actually the ego's yearnings to control, dominate and manipulate its environment to its own end.
Desires are what God has planted in our hearts to fulfill the collective Divine purpose of expressing Divine love. Don’t be fooled by what others tell you about your inner greatness.
What they say is NOT from the Divine; it is what their ego believes is happening and NOT what is actually happening! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WHEN EVIL BECOMES
INCESSANT
When evil becomes incessant and won’t stop its lies, controlling behaviors, domination of everyone’s ‘perception’ of the truth and the blatant manipulation of the truth to its own end, fret not.
Stand on the truth and allow that evil to pass through you without attaching any emotion to it. Evil only wins when you resist its lies. Trust in the Divine to unfold the truth in Divine order and step back and watch.
Evil will always undo itself because it doesn’t know any better than what it tells itself and convinces itself as to fulfilling its selfish agenda. Good always triumphs when you allow evil to undo itself.
When you fight it and resist it you give it the energy to continue. When you allow it to pass through you, it fizzles out and remains in the light of truth that reveals its lies.
Be ye therefore diligent in trusting the Divine. Nothing you do will defeat evil. Divine love will defeat it when you allow it to rule your life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIVING IN DARKNESS
When you live in the darkness you might see the light elsewhere, but until you feel it deep within your heart you won’t be able to move from the darkness into the light.
Living in the reflection of what you project into your world can be difficult at times. Always remember that deep within your heart are the seat of your well-being and the center of Divine love.
Allow Divine love to move through you manifesting health, wealth, prosperity and abundance in your life every day. You are worth it!
Move steadily from the darkness into the light by allowing Divine love to bless you every day. God bless you always!!! Be ye therefore full of light! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

CHOOSE TO STOP FIGHTING
When we choose to stop fighting that which we perceive is against us is when we start being truly free. As long as we immerse ourselves in the battle we will not move any closer to unfolding our Divine purpose in Divine order.
What we focus on, give attention and energy to and what we perceive we need to resist will always persist until we let it go; otherwise it will always have power over us.
Allow that which distracts us from our purpose to pass through us without any emotional attachment and we will be discharging its negative effect over us. Be ye therefore free from the battle! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

REFLECT ON THE
JOURNEY
When you have to lay down your wings or your sails it is time to reflect on the journey you have traveled. The wind is still there; the passion to feel the wind beneath your wings or in your sails is still there; the joy of soaring above all else or moving briskly through the waters will always be there.
It is a time to feel the feelings; set a new course; and let the stars guide your way. Who you are is greater than any perception of who you are; what has come against you will never change the voyager that you are within. Set sail on a new course that will bring you full circle into the joy of being you.
Peace to you, dear ones. You have endured more than you have realized and you are alive to feel that inner joy. Know that you are blessed and be that blessing by living in your joy! Be ye therefore on course! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

REPUBLICAN JESUS
Republican Jesus made a deal with the money changers. He was into the marketing of his image as a person of the people and proposed that he would make a scene at the temple to get the people to trust him. The result? A new religion would be born around him that would endure for millennia and guarantee that everyone would make money from their belief in him. He knew that he would have to die to convince everyone that they were sinners who fell short of the glory of God.
However, when he came back he would inspire generations of sinners to believe in his ‘godhood’. What a scam!!! Republican Jesus knew what he was doing and took advantage of people’s investment in their individual beliefs. He knew that people would always doubt their own divinity because they were lazy and wanted everything done for them. He knew that they would always look outside of themselves for what they already had within. He knew that they would write down everything about him and that generations would read about him and glorify his existence and godhood.
He knew that they would only believe that they could become saved by him in order to reconcile with God. He knew all of this. It’s a shame that Republican Jesus NEVER existed. If he did, the money changers would be justified, wouldn’t they? This Easter remember the significance of the birth, life and death of Yeshua. It was to show us that God is within each and every one of us. Not out in the clouds somewhere in ‘heaven’. Not apart from us, but within us.
The Kingdom of God is in our midst; not somewhere else, but right here, right now. Feel the presence of the Christ Light within you and know that being ‘born again’ is the revelation that God is within you and NEVER apart from you. May you and your families be blessed! Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WHAT IS SCIENCE ANYWAY?
What is science, anyway? “Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist.” [Wikipedia.com] Science is based on what is called the Hypothetico-Deductive Method which “is a proposed description of scientific method.
According to it, scientific inquiry proceeds by formulating a hypothesis in a form that could conceivably be falsified by a test on observable data. A test that could and does run contrary to predictions of the hypothesis is taken as a falsification of the hypothesis. A test that could but does not run contrary to the hypothesis corroborates the theory. It is then proposed to compare the explanatory value of competing hypotheses by testing how stringently they are corroborated by their predictions.” Scientific method is the way of testing ‘observable’ data and information present in our environment. The method ‘measures’ what is observed and ‘infers’ what isn’t. By reducing the results to the simplest explanations (based on the Law of Parsimony [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Parsimony] or Occam’s Razor), scientists can evaluate their data and infer a result that has to be replicated by other scientists in order to develop a working ‘scientific theory’.
Now, if the way you ‘measure’ your results only applies to observable occurrences, then you must infer that your results are a result of what you have observed and recorded. What about if things behave ‘beyond’ what you have observed? Is your hypothesis valid? Can it be tested and replicated to yield the same results enough to make a working ‘scientific theory’? Your senses have limited ranges of observation. Scientific measuring equipment extends those ranges but is STILL limited! If you base your observations on limited sensing equipment that does not yield ALL of the pertinent information, are your observations valid? Science has learned that the participation of the observer of an experiment affects the outcome of the experiment.
Electrons can be observed as either particles or waves; dependent on whether they are ‘observed’ or not. Now, if simple observation affects the outcome of ANY experiment, then how can anyone say with certainty that science is the be all and end all of knowledge? In our entire search for knowledge, we are limited by the realm in which we observe as well as the fact of whether we are observing or not. Gödel's incompleteness theorems explain “The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an "effective procedure" (e.g., a computer program, but it could be any sort of algorithm) is capable of proving all truths about the relations of the natural numbers (arithmetic). For any such system, there will always be statements about the natural numbers that are true, but that are improvable within the system. The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency.” [Wikipedia.com].
Now, if your methods of measurement are limited initially and your method of proof has inconsistencies that are improvable within a system, then it is true that any system of evaluation of the observable facts cannot demonstrate its own consistency. What does this mean? Science is a process by which we observe the ‘perceived dualistic reality’ and perceive its occurrences as having value in relation to a control or static model. When we observe the results we still ‘believe’ what we have concluded through logical and mathematical means. Beliefs are nothing more than repeated thoughts that we accept as true. If we repeat an experiment over and over again and it yields the same results, then we accept the results as true. The results ‘become’ beliefs based on our repetition of verifiable conclusions. In this sense, science IS a belief system; a highly accurate and verifiable belief system, but still a ‘belief’ system nonetheless.
If you deny that, then you are fooling yourself. You are trusting that everything that science concludes is correct and cannot be challenged. This, in itself, is contradictory to the heart of science which is that it stands up to challenges. Don’t believe everything that you hear, read, see, smell, taste or touch. The nature of your sensory mechanisms are limited at best and if you rely only on them to provide ‘truth’, then you are not allowing the entire picture of your experiences in the omniverse to relay the truth of existence. The experience of the omniverse yields a greater understanding of its inherent ‘spiritual’ nature; not a religious one, but a spiritual one. There is a difference and if you don’t believe that there is, then your problem is obvious! Anytime you block out the entire picture to fulfill your selfish agenda, you are cheating yourself of the entire experience of the natural world; and the divine one as well. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
AD HOMINEM ATTACKS
As far as ad hominem attack upon the character of an individual is concerned, if a person's head is up their ass and cannot, or will not, acknowledge the rights of others, then all bets are off AND their character is at issue! Logic is NOT the answer to everything. Truth is! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WHERE YOU ARE NOW?
The only time where you are is not where you were is when where you will be is more important than where you are now. Trust in the Divine to fulfill what is planted in your heart as your seeds of greatness.
Move toward that which you are and away from that which you aren’t. Dismiss fear of what ‘might’ happen and embrace Divine confidence.
The power of Divine love will be released simply by making that choice, feeling the joy from experiencing its benefits and knowing that trust is the harbinger of fulfillment.
Be ye therefore fulfilled! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Our brains have a built in mechanism that determines the level of pleasure we derive from certain actions. In fact, multiple experiments on humans have determined that consuming chocolate has a greater intensity and consistent pleasure response on our systems than sex. ??? The fulfillments of activities that create pleasure come from the brain’s release of enkephalins and endorphins (runner’s ‘high’ hormones) into our systems. These hormones are associated with the medial forebrain bundle (our pleasure center). In fact, we can derive pleasure from eating ‘chile’ peppers even though they are difficult to chew and swallow because of the brain’s reaction to their apparent sense of ‘burning’.
But why would this happen? It turns out that chile peppers contain nutrients and Vitamin C in abundance that actually feed and fuel our brains to a higher performance level. We can reprogram our brains to derive pleasure from activities that we normally would not do simply by changing the perceptions of our desires from living in ‘thriving’ mode into living in ‘survival’ mode. When we take what we normally associate with thriving (career satisfaction, good income and loving family) and make it a survival instinct, we set an internal standard of behaviors to ascribe to in order to survive.
Conversely, when we convert ‘normal’ survival instincts (breathing, eating, working and sleeping) into thriving behaviors, we grow and expand our perceived ‘sphere of influence’ in our environments. When our survival is threatened in any way, our brains ‘react’ instinctively to the perceived threats by going into ‘combat’ mode; meaning that we seek to resist and fight that which we perceive as threatening. In this moment, we have the power to ‘pivot’ from this mode into a state of proaction where we methodically plan our next moves and follow through to grow and expand.
Our brains in combat mode can process over 100 trillion instructions per second when it is at optimal temperature. Raise or lower our internal temperature and the amount of processed instructions slows down. That’s why we know the expression so well that we should, “Cool down.” We can take the processing power of our brains in combat mode to an even greater level when we regularly meditate and ‘consciously’ slow down our internal processes to ‘level’ out and self-regulate.
We usually move away from pain and move toward pleasure; however, we can also move toward pain and move away from pleasure when we understand that it depends on thriving more than just surviving. Our brains are complex organs that communicate with our bodies instantaneously. Why not give them the opportunity each and every day to ‘consciously’ relax and experience your inner state of well-being? Be ye therefore consciously centered! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPIRITUAL BOOKS
NO FULLFILLMENT
Some have said that they have no goals, aspirations or dreams to be fulfilled. They say that if they invest too much time in them and they never happen their disappointment would be devastating. When you are hungry, what do you do? Do you get up and go to the refrigerator and get some food? Do you take it out and cook the food in order to eat it? Do you put it on a plate and sit down at the table with a knife, fork and spoon to serve yourself? Do you eat the food and satisfy your hunger? Or do you sit there and stare at it while your stomach growls in hunger?
Your biological imperative to eat drives you to fulfill that imperative. The goal is to quell your hunger by the expectation that if you go to the refrigerator your need to eat will be fulfilled. You take one step at a time to fulfill the preparation of the food in order for you to consume it. You aspire to fulfill that need by a logical step by step process. The image in your mind of eating was a conscious dream that you fulfilled by taking the necessary steps to fulfillment. The same applies in anything in your life.
Your conscious or unconscious dreams provide you with the possibilities of fulfilling your Divine purpose. Your goals are where you want to be based on a proactive plan of fulfillment. Your aspirations are the passions that you feel for living in your Divine purpose. Follow your dreams. Make a plan to fulfill your goals. Aspire to channel your passions toward fulfillment. Otherwise, you will lay in bed too hungry to get up and satisfy your needs, wants, desires and expectations. Be ye therefore fulfilled! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BOWL OF DIVINITY
Did you have your bowl of divinity today? Did you tap from the inner world of well-being and feel the joy of living in Divine love? Did you give thanks in heartfelt gratitude for the blessings you have in your life? Or did you just sprinkle some sugar on your flakes, eat it quickly, rush off to wherever and slowly feel indigestion?
Making the time to delve into the peace, understanding, joy and Divine love within your heart everyday blesses your life with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. Why would anything else be of more importance? Because you have been fooled by your ego that what it wants is better for you.
Stop yearning for ‘things’ that don’t truly matter and listen to the divinity within for the guidance to fulfill your innermost dreams. Be ye therefore divine! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HIGH HOLY DAYS
Yeshua was crucified on a Wednesday which was a High Holy Day (these days landed on different days each year). If you count from Wednesday night to Saturday night, it is three days. The day in the Jewish tradition began at dusk. From Wednesday night; Thursday, Friday and Saturday are three days.
After dusk on Saturday (the weekly Sabbath), was considered the morning on Sunday. Good Friday was an invention of the Catholic Church along with changing Ishtar (pronounced eeashtar) to Easter; which is never referenced biblically.
If anyone so chooses to not know the truth and listen to the inventions of the ‘Christian’ churches it is their right. Imposing those erroneous beliefs on others, however, is NOT their right! It is their selfish egos! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HEALING YOUR HEART
Trust in God to heal your hurting heart. When you experience the inner pain that comes from caring about your world while watching liars, cheaters, thieves and murderers run rampant and operate with impunity, be comforted in trusting in God completely. God has blessed you with the awareness to recognize right from wrong, good from bad and ego from the Spirit of God.
When you completely trust in God, your faith wells up inside you and it heals you. Each and every time Christ healed the sick he stated that it was their faith that healed them. Why? Because the Spirit of God is within you and when you allow your inner well-being to flow Divine love through your being you are instantly healed. The faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain of opposition when you completely trust in God.
When Christ called Lazarus forth out of his tomb there was NO doubt in his mind that he would come forth. Faith and trust go hand in hand when you allow your inner well-being to flow Divine love through you to bless your world. Be ye therefore faithful and trusting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHERE YOU SHOULD BE
You are exactly where you should be right now. Never doubt how things are unfolding when you completely trust in the Divine.
Allow your inner well-being to flow Divine love through you each and every moment and you will stay in alignment with Divine order.
It is only when you interrupt that flow by allowing your ego to get in your way that things go awry.
Stay focused on the Spirit of God within you by faithing, trusting and allowing Divine love to be your guide. Be ye therefore in the moment! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
