Can we feel the future? According to Quantum Mechanics a ‘particle’ can appear to occupy two separate spaces at the same time ‘until’ we ‘observe’ the ‘particle’. Does that mean that the particle only identifies with a certain space when our consciousness ‘recognizes’ it? Nothing in the omniverse is certain until someone observes it (Schrödinger). If consciousness determines existence then knowing the presence of the Divine Infinite Spirit determines ‘Cosmic Consciousness’.
Our sixth ‘mental’ sense aligns with the transference of data along magnetic fields and the deep absorption of the stillness and silence of the Divine Infinite Spirit of God (our seventh spiritual sense) aligns the transference of Divine guidance deep within our beings to create an inner sense of ‘knowing’ the future. We are creatures who 'strive' our whole lives for certainty in an omniverse of uncertainty. Our ‘consciousness’ is what determines our ‘perception’ of our existence and hold ‘copies’ of events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and the behavior of objects and others in our brains. These ‘copies’ are more real to us than the external reality because we make choices based on those ‘copies’. Are the copies of reality in our brains true representations of our experiences? Or are they what is ‘convenient’ for our ego’s to deal with effectively?
Repeated acceptance of the ‘perceived’ reality of these copies is what determines our belief systems, which ultimately ‘filter’ our individual realities. What we perceive is what we ‘copy’ and what copies we hold as true affect what we believe. If we never question our beliefs we are living from the perceived copies in our brains of what we ‘believe’ is the truth. In order to ‘feel’ the future we must know that it is a result of our living from the truth in the now. Our futures can unfold in the way we hold true to the copies of reality that we believe by simply ‘letting go’ of their ‘reality’ and ‘knowing’ that they will be manifested. Any doubt, worry or fear of events, occurrences, situations, circumstances and others’ behavior ultimately ‘change’ the unfolding of the experiences that are necessary to co-create the future that we ‘feel’ will be manifested.
By ‘letting go’ of our ‘perceived’ control of the unfolding of our futures we align ourselves with our Divine purposes unfolding in Divine order. We become what we are by allowing it to be. Our futures are determined when our consciousness lets go and allows the Divine presence of Divine love to move through us and affect natural order to unfold in a way that is beneficial to ourselves AND others. When we ‘stop up the dam’ with our yearnings to control the flow of life we are in effect, getting in our own way. Being perfect is allowing Divine love to exude from our beings by living in the now. Living in the now is ‘knowing’ whom and what we are and why we even exist.
‘Being here now’ means allowing Divine love to flow through us unfettered by the ego; it means completely trusting in the Divine to unfold our Divine purposes in Divine order. Cleaning out the cobwebs of erroneous beliefs lodged in our brains affords us the consciousness of converting ‘possibilities’ into ‘probabilities’. Our perceptions are dependent on how we observe, copy and believe them to be. It is up to us to validate whether or not they are true or erroneous because they insist that what they reveal is the truth. The truth is not subjective to anyone’s perception but is known deep within our individual spirit. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
How does God see you? As a perfect creation. How do you see God? As something separate and apart or deep within? Are you looking without for what you can only find within? Do you have faith in what’s within and trust God completely or do you worry about what might happen, doubt your ability to handle it and fear what you don’t know?
When you stop looking without for what resides within you will come to understand the true blessings of Divine love. They will exude from your being with peace, understanding and joy. You will know that God is perfect and that you were created perfectly. Don’t believe the lies from religions that call you a ‘sinner’. The only reason they invented that was to be the middle man between you and God. It gave them a purpose and validated their existence.
You are a blessed child of the Most High God and you are NOT stained with sin. The only ‘sin’ you express is your acceptance of being separate from God. Stop believing the lies and liars whose only purpose to exist is to make you believe that you need them for salvation. Yeshua died to reveal that we never truly die.
We live forever in love when we seek Oneness with God and not separation. Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Remember that and live it every day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GOD ISN'T PERFECT?
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.

Elizabeth and I would like to invite you all to our site ‘Service In Prayer’. For many months we have been led to offer a way for our online friends to have a forum to share our prayer needs with each other.
The purpose of this website is to connect with one another and share our needs for healing in whatever areas we feel we need. Please visit the website or go to the Facebook forum to post any public prayers on the Wall or PM us for private prayers.
We will pray for you or help you to find Prayer Partners to assist you in healing and realization of your Divine purpose and the unfolding of it in Divine order.

OUR PAST ISSUES
Did you miss any of the issues of The Spirituality Post Daily? If so, following are the links to each and every day for you to peruse. Please visit our advertisers and help us to keep going in our service to the spiritual community of souls who long for a greater spiritual perspective on life. God bless you and your families! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Do you feel that others are the source of your problems? Why do you feel this way? Have you done everything you can to ferret out your shortcomings and some people just keep reminding you of them?
We all have our ‘personal’ space and it is up to us to allow only what we need for our growth and expansion in our personal space. Don’t be afraid to tell others that they are violating your space and affecting your peace.
Read them the riot act and if they don’t accept it, then tell them not to be involved with you anymore. Incessant reminders of what you have done in the past are not helping you to move forward.
Get rid of the baggage of those who live in the past and walk boldly into your future by keeping your personal ‘space’ peaceful, joyous and loving. It is YOUR right! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT
You are the crowning achievement of divine love and NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise. Within you is the presence of the Divine, the essence of spirit and the ‘be all an end all’ of all of life.
You are gifted with the breath of life and be thankful every moment for that blessing. You ARE the Divine in action so be divine in everything you think, say and do.
Speak the truth no matter what and share Divine love with all of life. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SPIRITUALITY GUIDANCE
What is the Spirituality Guidance Channel? SGC is a video portal designed to introduce spiritually inclined individuals to be exposed to spiritual videos, radio, teachers, music, art, books, resources and links from a selected group of teachers and requests from viewers. Each featured coach/teacher will have their own page highlighting any videos, audios, websites or printed material they have produced. This portal will be regularly promoted on the Internet through social networking and targeted marketing channels. Please visit the website at the following address:http://www.spiritualityguidance.com and email me at webproducer@hotmail.com with any suggestions, links or materials. Thank you for your most courteous participation in this project. I welcome your input. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BLAMING OTHERS
Is it wrong to blame others for some of your problems? Definitely NOT! When others inflict their aberrant behavior on you that is a shared circumstance for both of you and it is up to you to deal with it effectively.
If it is painful realize this: Pain is the indication that you need healing. If that means that you have to remove the source of the pain, then so be it!
Remove anyone from your life that repeatedly causes you pain. How can you live in joy, understanding, peace and love when you are constantly in pain? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
OCCUPY INTELLIGENCE!
Don’t you think it’s about time that we all join the Occupy Intelligence Movement? One that bases its claims on the facts and not the opinions handed to us by the corporate media? Intelligence requires the capacity for learning, the focus to reduce everything to the simplest explanations and the openness to learn the truth without being undermined by personal agendas.
Whereas the Tea Party is the Occupy Assinity Movement where the norm is the lowest common denominator, we all need to learn from them what NOT to do. If you do whatever it takes to live by the truth without hurting others, you are on the right track.
Unfolding the truth in Divine order is the beginning to affecting natural order to reflect the truth of all of our existence in Divine love. Don’t fight or resist ignorance and assinity; stop it in its tracks with intelligence and love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Following is the Mission Statement for the Occupy Wall Street Movement:
I’m sure by now you’ve heard somewhere on the mainstream media that the Occupy Wall St. protestors are a bunch aimless college kids running around not really sure of what it is they are protesting or what it is they want. Well they have released a mission statement and it appears to me that they know exactly what they want and exactly what they are protesting. Check it out below:
“As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments.
We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them. They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. *
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
No matter what happens throughout your day remember whom and what you are. You are the dynamic expression of Divine love living your Divine purpose in Divine order.
You are not just a cog in the wheel with no soul in your eyes. When others try to convince you that you are not a child of the Most High smile and agree with them and go about your way.
Fighting their ignorance is not part of your Divine purpose; letting it pass through you without attaching any significance and emotion to it is. When you live in this manner you are living in the fact that if God be for you, who can be against you?
No weapon, coercion or manipulation can stand against you because you know whom and what you truly are; a child of the Most High God! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ARE PEOPLE STEALING
YOUR JOY?
Are you permitting others to steal your joy? Are you feeling great and someone else tries to make you feel guilty because you feel good? Are they saying that you are being selfish because you choose to experience joy while others are suffering? In everything that happens to us we have choices to make. Do we internalize our experiences and create emotions that drive us to either worry about what ‘might’ happen or be confident in what we know ‘will’ happen! In other words, are we in command of our feelings or are our feelings in command of us? Do we operate from faith in the Divine by trusting completely or do we operate from fear by doubting in ourselves enough to let the imposed guilt of others stifle our progress?
When we accept and believe in the guilt that others impose on us we are allowing them to steal our joy. What right do we have to be joyous when the rest of the world appears to be suffering? Who do we think we are, anyway? Do we think we are better than others? Or is it that we simply KNOW that we have everything to be thankful and joyous for because we understand just whom and what we are in the grand scheme of things? When others try to convince you that you have no right to be joyous just thank them graciously, pray for their understanding and move on. The truth is that it is THEY who have no right to impose their limited, subjective and personal viewpoint on you simply because you are experiencing joy.
They want you to be ‘like them’ for them to feel secure in their viewpoint of the world. It is a selfish act and you should have nothing whatsoever to do with them and their ego trying to control, dominate and manipulate who and what you are. Always remember, what you think ‘might’ happen or fear what you believe ‘will’ happen, most of the time never occurs. The feelings of uncertainty take control when you follow your head more than your heart. Never let anyone steal your joy; it isn’t worth it. It is more important to be truthful than polite, in control rather than being controlled and joyous for your blessings rather than worrying about ‘what if’. When you take the ‘what if’, let it go and follow Divine guidance you are being true to yourself AND others. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Welcome to our new Sunday Morning Service by Dr. Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Every week Dr. Dean will be engaging subjects that are pertinent to your growth and expansion into recognition of; respect to; and communication with your inner spirit.
Please feel free to comment or suggest topics for review. May the Divine always bless you and your families! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Are you still looking for your path? Has time convinced you that there is a journey with a path? Are you too busy believing what occurs in the outside world to go within and be the truth? When you realize that there was no path and it’s all been right here within you all along is the moment in your history when you truly understand and completely feel the presence within of Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you finally learn you know nothing, you learn to let go of everything. In knowing nothing you truly know everything; because you are finally being completely honest with yourself. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
You were created for a Divine purpose. Are you living that Divine purpose? If you are then you know the guidance, support and direction that Divine love is giving you. If you are not, then the only way you will ever be ‘happy’ and ‘fulfilled’ is when you learn to listen to Divine guidance, receive Divine support and follow your inner compass to navigate the direction in which you must proceed to unfold your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The perception of a 'path' to divinity and fulfillment is just that; a perception. Being your inherent divinity and living in Divine fulfillment is not a path, journey or destination; it’s just whom and what you already ARE! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It doesn't matter 'how' one got there; the view is the same. However, it you got there from stepping on others they will let you roll right by them on your fall downward whereas they would help you if you were considerate to them on the way up. What goes up, must come down! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
You cannot stay at the peak of the mountaintop forever; there is only one spot at the peak and it must be shared with all travelers who strive for the top! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
You can surround the peak of the mountaintop but it is reserved for those who make the truth a moment to moment priority. Sharing the peak means supporting those who live by the truth and the truth alone. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Anyone who tries to change what true love means to anyone else is NOT living in true love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I am blessed because love is what I am. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Living in equality with all of life IS living in Divine love! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. What you do about it reveals whether you are operating from your ego or the Spirit of God. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
As external perception wanes the inner light reveals the congealed image of direction. Clarity and focus are the fruits of the daily inner journey that unfold knowledge into wisdom through the augmentation of understanding. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I don't think 'thinking' has anything to do with the ignorance of those who spew bigotry; it is more like the egotistical agenda manifestation brought about by the repeated expression of emotional oralrrhea. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE REAL YOU
When you wake up to whom and what you truly are you begin knowing what you have thought was the truth through skewed understanding was from your ego protecting itself from harm. That’s its job.
The real YOU has a job too; to bring about peace, joy, understanding and love to all of reality. Once you are aware of this it is your duty to all of life to edify it with your presence.
If you ignore this Christ-like obligation, life will reflect back to you more and more challenges for your ego to grow and expand into a realization of itself and its place in your being.
Its job is to sense the road ahead and not steer; steering is for the Spirit of God within. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

EBOOKS
A COMPLETE AND
UTTER LIE!
The teaching that what you see in others is a reflection of what is in you is a complete and utter LIE! If you believe this you are being fooled by those who wish to ‘project’ their fears on you. Don’t buy it! If I see aberrance in others it doesn't mean that it is within me. It simply means that I recognize it for what it is; aberrance!
If it was within me and wasn’t acted out by me, does that mean that I am guilty of the aberrance? Hardly. Life is a reflection of what we all ‘project’ into existence. If you recognize aberrance it doesn’t mean that it is within you. It means that you know what it is and that you have chosen NOT to act on it.
If you turn your back on it then, and only then, are you complicit in the aberrance because you have chosen to not do anything about it. Doing something doesn’t mean that you have to do something outside of yourself; it means that you can pray for them, send them love and move away from their negative influence.
Don’t be suckered into the belief that because you recognize aberrance that it is within you. Be the perfect being that the Divine created you to be and use the gift of discernment to recognize aberrance and deal with it effectively.
The only time life mirrors and reflects aberrance is when you act on it and bring it into reality. That is the parsimonious explanation and anything else is added belief. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
FIGHTING CANCER?
I just saw a cancer commercial where the guy says the group should have a moment of silence. Then he says that they shouldn't be silent and to get up and fight to stop cancer.
When will they ever learn that what you resist persists. Instead of pouring energy into fighting it is much better to go within, seek the truth and heal those who have cancer by contributing your talents, skills, abilities and financing to effecting cures.
Stop fighting that which you don't understand. Love instead. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
IS SEEING BELIEVING?
What you believe is what you see. As you paint reality with the inner sub-modalities that you have accepted as true remember that your canvas might not be the same as mine. It is in the commonality of beliefs that we see eye to eye and forge a mutual understanding. The truth is black and white and our beliefs color the truth with our own perceptions of the reality. We are comforted in adding color to our world for it resolves our longing for closure. When we see things occurring in how we believe they are, it reinforces our belief and anchors that pleasure in our subconscious mind.
We program a favorable response and we feel secure as a result. When circumstances arise to challenge our accepted beliefs we become edgy, uncomfortable and reactive. Why? Because our security lies in what we ‘know’ is real. Anything that flips our programmed image and belief is very unsettling. This is the point where we can all allow the guidance from the Divine and put our egos in the back seat. This is the point where we make a decision. We cut off any other possibilities and choose a path that supports our growth and expansion.
We proceed toward fulfilling our Divine purposes in Divine order. We have made a ‘life-supporting’ choice. Choosing life requires complete trust in the Divine. Not just belief, but faith in the reality that you were created to express certain talents, skills and abilities to fulfill ‘God’s plan for you’; your Divine purpose. Do you believe that God made a mistake in creating you the way you are? Does what you see in your life only forge beliefs that deny exactly what you were created to express?
If you believe that your life is worthless, it is. If you KNOW that it isn’t, it is as well. Choosing to know why you are here over what you believe you have experienced is the determining factor in moving toward complete and utter fulfillment. Moving from believing into knowing requires faith in something beyond your experience. It means completely trusting God despite what you are experiencing. It means that you actively choose to see a favorable result regardless of any circumstances that are contrary to your blessings.
You are unique. You are loved. You are already fulfilled. You just need to realize it, accept it and allow the Divine to guide you into complete and utter fruition of your Divine purpose. Be ye therefore perfect. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH
Absolute Truth is what many observe and don't dispute. The barometer for truth is based on the following questions: Is it allowing someone to grow and expand? Is it interfering with their peace and joy? Is it hindering mutual understanding? Is it expressing love?
Those questions help us to hone in on the absolute truth which is shared by all. Allowing someone else to be hurt or injured by anyone else taking advantage of another is avoiding the absolute truth of their behavior.
If your relative truth precludes that absolute truth then it is your ego that is ensuring its self-survival. If your relative truth accepts the absolute truth and acts on it, then the Spirit of God is facilitating mutual understanding of the absolute truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOUR INHERENT
SELFISHNESS
When you ignore that which is important to all you reveal your inherent selfishness of purpose. You demonstrate just what makes you tick and that the yearnings of your ego are more important than the inner desires of the Spirit of God for your life.
Living from within is expressed in that which is without. It adds to the quality of all of life and doesn’t take away from it. When ‘me’ is more important than ‘we’, the ultimate result of that mindset and heartset will co-create a reality that challenges ‘me’ from the experiences of ‘we’.
Don’t ignore what advances life for all; ignore what the loud voice of ego declares is important in your life. Contribute your talents, skills and abilities to all of life and the reward for you is peace, joy, understanding and love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DO YOU PROMOTE FEAR?
Do you promote fear? Are you feeding others suggestions to be afraid and not realizing it? Fear is the easy way out because you don’t understand what is going on and your ego needs to protect you so much that it creates fearful reactions that make you feel comfortable.
Being fearful is one thing but spreading fear to others is another thing altogether. Are you projecting fear into your environment and justifying it with creating a feeling of security? Stop any feelings of fear in its tracks by letting go of any perception that you are in control and begin trusting completely in the Spirit of God.
Live in faith and trust completely that you are being guided to unfolding your Divine purpose in Divine order. Promote faith in what is truly real and not in what is unknown and not understood. Be perfection in all that you express. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HOW MUCH GOD
LOVE US
Do you know how much I love you? Do you know that I knew just how much God loved me when you came into my life? Do you know that I have never felt so much in love with anyone in my life? Your presence in my life has allowed me to become whom and what I was created to be. I am so sorry I have brought my struggles and problems into your life. We are a team that depends on each other and I know God is blessing us each and every day. Thank you for being there for me. I love you with all my heart!
God loves you more than you will ever know. How do I know this? Because I have felt the love of God through the ongoing blessings in my life. Each and every time I depend on the Divine I am NEVER let down. It might be the eleventh hour, the 59th minute and the 59th second but the Divine has always come through for me. Sometimes I wish that I wouldn’t have to wait until the last second but I now know that’s why I am so passionate for my Creator. Science paints an impersonal picture on the effects and attributes of the Divine and that’s OK with me. Religions paint a personal and selfish relationship with the Divine and that’s OK with me as well.
Even if one doesn’t believe in the Divine that’s OK with me too. I can only truly know what is real for me and share that experience with you. Your experience might be totally different than mine and that’s OK as well. What truly matters is that we all know just how much the Divine loves us and will give us the deepest desires of our hearts when we completely live in faith and trust. Never doubt that you are loved. You are a divine being with a Divine purpose that the Divine planted in your heart to unfold and be fulfilled. It just requires your complete faith and trust.
Dedicate yourself to that every day and listen to the still small voice of God giving you the direction you need in which to proceed to become completely fulfilled. May God bless all of you this Easter weekend and KNOW that you are loved! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE ONLY THING THAT
IS REAL
Love is the only thing that is real, abundant and ever present. Everything else is a perception of the illusion that love has to be earned and is not freely given.
Perception distracts us from the reality that the omniverse is the expression of the energy of love. What you copy in your mind as what reality is, is not the essence of your experience.
It is your perception of the essence filtered by your beliefs to keep you safe, secure and assured.
Let go of your perceptions of how things are and live in the ever present truth of Divine love. It is always there awaiting your embrace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A REFLECTION
Always remember that what appears to be is a reflection of what you believe it is and not necessarily what it truly is.
Allow what is to be and be what you allow from the Spirit of God within you by not attaching any feelings or outcomes to your perceived reflections of reality.
In this way you are free to observe and know what is truly happening and what is real for everyone. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LISTENING WITHIN
Why do some have a hard time listening to the still small voice of God within?
Because they are not getting out of your own way due to their egos trying to control the experience.
When you stop trying to control that which is uncontrollable and simply allow the Divine to work through you for the greater good of all is when you hear the whispers of Divine silence guiding you and directing you to complete and utter fulfillment! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
People react to what they perceive is the truth for them. This is what is known as an individual or relative truth. People proact from what they perceive is a shared or absolute truth. It is manifested as their behavior in their shared experiences of life.
It's not that anyone is right or wrong; it's their behavior as a result of what they experience which either ‘takes away from’ or ‘contributes to’ life.
That is the issue I am presenting here. We either act in favor of the growth and expansion of all or we act in favor of our individual security and survival.
Absolute truth is shared and relative truth is individual. We are NOT separate from each other. If we were, we wouldn't have ANY shared experiences! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RIGHT HERE WITHIN YOU
Whatever it is that you seek in order to be fulfilled is right here within you. Realization is the first experience of genuine Divine desire.
Accepting its realization as yours is the next experience. The next experience is allowing it to unfold in Divine order. Finally, what you experience is the manifestation of what you have sought and the reflection of it into your realization.
It goes full circle from initial realization to fulfillment realization. Move through the experience of life peacefully, joyfully and lovingly in order to understand your Divine purpose.
Allow it to unfold in Divine order right here, right now! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our bodies are a complex network of physio-chemical interactions that trigger emotional states and vice versa. When a person feels victorious testosterone is generated and boosts the body with feelings of euphoria and confidence. It comes from the hormones under the classification of androgens. When a person feels depressed and uncomfortable estrone has been generated. It comes from the class of hormones known as estrogens. Both men and women have androgens and estrogens in their systems; however, men usually have more androgens and women have more estrogens; however, this can change under consistent feelings of being stressed.
When a person feels like they are losing or have lost something valuable to them the hormone cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands. It is considered a catabolic hormone that breaks down tissue regeneration, modulates the immune response, raises glucose levels and stores fat in the body. It is often referred to as the ‘stress’ hormone that kicks in when we are under tremendous or sudden stress. Some studies have shown that it creates estrogen dominance. At the DNA level, it suppresses testosterone production and can create feelings of depression and anxiety. Our bodies are psycho-physical units where thoughts and emotions affect our health, our feelings of wealth, prosperity and the recognition of abundance.
Our emotional moods can dominate and paint an unrealistic view of reality, regardless of what our thoughts reveal. When we listen to our bodies in deep meditation we slow down our systems enough for our internal chemistry to seek a balance much like water seeks its own level when agitation stops. The deeper we go, the more we align our bodies with the eddys and currents of Divine order. At our center is the Creator of the omniverse exuding Divine love if we would but make the time each and every day to experience that bliss. Nothing is more important in our lives than spending time with the Divine deep in meditation. How can anyone hear the silent whispers of the Divine when they are immersed in the constant and incessant chaos of the external world of the perceived dualistic reality?
Eliminate the noise and listen for the still small voice of the Divine guiding and directing you to peace, understanding, joy and the expression of Divine love. Balance out your bodily chemistry and come out from under the veil of being subject to your emotional responses and chemical states. The Divine is in command but you must drink from the well to experience the beauty. Make the time for your Divine relationship and the healing of your body. When the spirit is accessed, the body is healed and the mind is free to explore more horizons. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LYRICS OF OUR LIVES
Within each one of us are the lyrics of our lives. Moments of joy or sadness; peace or anger; understanding or selfishness. From those lyrics comes the melody of our lives. Is it bright and chipper, or down and morose? Does it harmonize with others or is it so strident that it irritates others? Does the rhythm of your melody reflect proper timing? Or is it disjointed and chaotic? Is your ‘song’ of your life out of whack or perfectly on point?
Our lives are like a symphony of movements that reflect how we react to or proact from our individual experiences. It has been said for each one of us to not die before we have sung our inner song and affected our individual environments with our Divine purpose. If this is so, have you been composing your symphony? Have you stepped up to the conductor’s platform and directed the expression of your symphony? Or have you settled for being the second triangle who plays a note maybe once in the entire symphony?
Faith in the Divine develops faith in the Divine within you to express that inner symphony. Compose the majestic cantata that reveals your love for the Divine. Be thankful for the Divine gifts you have been given and bless others every day with those gifts. Create Divine harmony with all you think, say and do. Be ye therefore PERFECT! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
One day I went to my client’s house to make some changes to her website. I pulled in the entrance to the development and saw her coming over to the farm on the corner. She hopped the fence and chased the vultures from the field of sheep and lambs. About ten vultures flew to the top of the shed and stared back at her. She cawed at them and they flew off away from the farm. Later the farm’s owner showed up and was beside herself with the number of vultures that were killing her sheep. She had two lambs at her house that were severely injured by the vultures. In fact, a lamb had been killed by them and the mother of the lamb was so distraught that she had lain down by the dead lamb in the evening and the owner found the mother dead from grief in the morning. And some say that animals don’t feel.
The vultures were doing what vultures do and the sheep were grazing in the fields; doing what they do. Life goes on whether we observe it or not. It reminds me of when I was in the pitch black in the Outback of Australia and heard the screams of the sheep being sheered almost a mile away. They would scream for hours and then there would be a dead silence; almost haunting. I walked out of the farm workers cabin and couldn’t see a foot in front of me because it was so dark. I looked up at the sky and saw stars I had never seen living most of my life in the Northern Hemisphere. I was marveled at the amount of stars I was seeing and the silence I was experiencing. I was totally captivated with the silence of the lambs and the apparent stillness and majesty of the sky. I went back to sleep and woke up to the faint sound of the sheep screaming in the morning.
Life goes on. We might not be able to stop the cycle of life and death in nature but we can affect our world with the awareness that life is precious and a gift from the Divine. Make the time to feel the under currents of life and be thankful for your part in it. The Divine has created you in the here and now for a Divine purpose. Live in that purpose every day and experience the silence and stillness of Oneness with the Divine Infinite Spirit of Creation. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE GREATER THAN
You are greater than the highest mountain. You are greater than the deepest ocean. You are greater than the entire omniverse. Why? Because the Spirit of God is within you channeling Divine love through your being with every breath you take.
You are dynamic and not static. You are charged with Divine love and it is your purpose to share it through your Divine purpose in Divine order. Be whom and what you were created to be by being thankful for the Divine gifts you’ve been given.
Thankfulness is culminated in sharing. Share the real YOU with all of life. You are greater than all of creation. Live your life by knowing this. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
KEEP AIMING
It has been said that “An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming” ~Unknown.
My response to this is “just make sure you are aligned to hit the target!” How do we align with the target? By making the time each and every day to go within and experience the beauty, peace, understanding, love and joy of the Divine within.
How can you ever hope to hit the target when you shoot aimlessly and ‘hope’ for the best? It is better to align yourself with your Divine purpose than to take pot shots at hopes and dreams; for in living your Divine purpose is the experience of living in divine joy. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CHANGE IS THE DIFFERENCE
Change is the difference between what you have put forward and what you get back. It is what is different from where you are now and where you will be as well as where you were then and where you are now. In order to effect change one must be willing to leave their comfort zone.
To move from the comfort zone to one’s expansion zone is a challenge. It requires one to understand how some past actions worked and how some didn't. It then requires the resolve to make true changes. Most people don't change who they are.
They rearrange circumstances, events and people to suit their attitudes about life. Living in the now empowers you to see things how they are and make decisions to actually change the outcome of what you desire.
You must have a clear picture of what the result of the changes you need to make and expect them to come to fruition. It is a daily process of being at peace with who you are and what you want to become and loving yourself for making the steps to get there. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ACTING BADLY
There is a distinct difference between being 'bad' and acting 'badly'. When we differentiate between the divine being within and the ego in residence, we begin to see who is in control of someone's life.
It is up to us to set the example of 'who's in charge' and allow others to experience that for themselves.
We can judge another's behavior as bad and not want to associate with them because of their behavior, but it is not OK to judge them for their bad choices for it reveals that we do not truly understand the difference between the divine being that they truly are and the ego's behavior that they express. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE WILL OF THE FEW
The will of the few affects the many when the few are in the positions of power to change the laws of that affect everyone.
Those who wear the Constitution as a garment of loyalty defy the very essence of the document in order to fulfill their agenda of control, domination and manipulation.
In other words, it has NOTHING to do with the Spirit of God and EVERYTHING to do with their egos. It is up to the many to thwart the efforts of the few; or anyone! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK?
When the world says, “No!” God says “Yes!” When God says “No!” the world says ”Yes!” Why? Because that which is experienced is a reflection of what you believe ‘should’ be and NOT what it is. If you seek to help others and the world slaps you in the face and attempts to hold you down you ARE on the right track. Why?
Because you have been given the desire to effect change in your world and the world resists change. If you seek to hurt others and the world does nothing to stop you it is because you ARE on the wrong track? Why?
Because you have followed your yearnings and selfishness and that is what drives the world because of its belief in itself as the source of all things. Have you ever wondered why aberrance appears to have free reign over society? Are you upset that some people literally ‘get away with murder’ while others who tell the truth are incarcerated or debilitated?
It is because aberrance will appear to be victorious for a season while truth and honesty is full established. No matter what appears to be in the outside world align yourself with Divine order by accepting things as they are while making each deliberate step towards how things will be. Be diligent and forthright no matter what others think, say or do. Be on point in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Your victory is in your ability to be patient, faithful and trusting. Wait on the Lord and the desires of your heart will be fulfilled in due time. Allow your being to unfold perfectly according to God’s plan of fulfillment. It is when you falter in your patience, faith and trust that you set yourself up for failure. God loves you and WILL give you the desires of your heart!
After all, the Divine planted them there to begin with in order to manifest the unfolding of your life perfectly. Be patient, more than forceful. Faith, more than fear. Trust, more than believe. It WILL pay off for all in the mutual end result. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NAIL IN THE COFFIN
The nail in the coffin for the XL Pipeline from the Sioux Indians who have decided to NOT allow the XL Pipeline to be constructed on their land should be followed by many other nails from each one of us.
When we become more environmentally conscious of our responsibility to our children and what kind of world we leave them is when we are being true to ourselves and NOT the interests of the greedy bastards who want to make a profit at the expense of the safety of others.
Be conscious of what ‘free enterprise’ is claiming that we are ‘over-regulating’ their right to grow and expand. Growing and expanding at the risk of the safety of others is NOT being respectful to others and the environment; it is being selfish and greedy. Let’s be honest here! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
UNIONS ARE THE
BACKBONE
Unions are the backbone of this country. Collective bargaining brought about the 'weekend' that all of us enjoy so much.
Rest is essential to any working person and their family. Remember that next weekend.
Don't allow those who are driven by the acquisition of wealth and power to interfere in the unfolding of the interaction with your family and loved ones. Stop them at your door and say, "You are NOT welcome here!" ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THANK THEM
The next time someone tells you that you are wrong, tell them that they are right and thank them for letting you know. When you allow their perspective to be just what it is, their perspective, it negates that perspective from becoming yours.
Do not argue over what is not arguable. Go within and retrieve the Divine’s perspective on what is wrong and right for you and allow what others think to pass through you without attaching any emotion to it as to whether they are wrong or right about you.
Do not feed the beast of distraction from unfolding your Divine purpose in Divine order by buying into what anyone says about who you are and what you are doing.
Center yourself in Divine truth and move forward into blossoming the inner beauty that you possess. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SMILING
Smiling when someone else is reaping what they have sown means that you accept what is happening as it is and you allow it to be; it doesn't mean that you are smug over the grief of another.
It means that you are aware of the fact that they are reaping what they have sown and you understand that it is part of their growth and expansion into becoming whom and what they were created to be.
When you feel a 'secondary' emotion of snickering is when you are being smug. All of our emotions are layered one on top of another. How we react to them is how they affect us. Subsequent emotions reveal whether we are living from love or from ego or one-up-manship.
If you joy in the grief of others you are operating from ego. If you lament over the grief of others and support their healing, you are operating from the Spirit of God within. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our Daily Reading for June 19th -
"Pick A Card "What Do You/They Want You/Them To Know?"
by Angels Whisper
Be bold in declaring whom and what you were created to be. Why? Because what you have expected to happen has ALWAYS happened! Your accepted beliefs have forged your outlook on your world and your expressions of those beliefs in your behaviors have created the life you are living now. Do you understand this? Even if some of your beliefs are erroneous you are living the results of those beliefs!
Now is the time to discharge those erroneous beliefs and live from the truth in your heart. Co-create the reality you know you should be living in by expecting the BEST to happen for you AND for all whom you are interacting with in your life. Be bold and declare the Avalanche of Appreciation from the Divine to elevate your Divine desires into your reality.
When you move toward and become whom and what you were created to be Divine grace wells up in your life to bathe you with the passion of manifesting your innermost desires! Be bold and NOT timid. Be bold and expectant of the bounty of God’s grace. Why?
Because you ARE a child of the Most High and you were created to experience health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. You were created to live in peace, understanding, joy and Divine love. Be bold and expect those blessings to abound each and every day of your life; now and evermore! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” ~Quotation often attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe but in fact was written by William Hutchinson Murray, from his 1951 book entitled The Scottish Himalayan Expedition.
PUTTING YOUR EGGS
IN ONE BASKET
After finishing up with a client yesterday she offered me a basket of eggs from the farm up the road. The eggs were brown and light green. As she handed me the basket, she said please put your hand on the bottom as the basket is weak underneath. I replied, “Thank you, but now we both know why we should never put all of our eggs in one basket.” She laughed and I left. This expression implies that by putting your valuables into one thing that you have the chance of losing everything. Is that true? Or is it just possible?
Yes to both. It is true that when you invest in just one thing to ‘hold’ your valuables your risk is increased that if you lose, you will lose everything. It is both possible that you will win AND it is possible that you will lose. As you consume the eggs in the basket the weight gets lighter and the strain on the bottom of the basket gets less, minimizing the risk of the bottom giving out. But the risk is still there. If you take half of your eggs and put them in another basket, then if the basket with the weak bottom breaks, you have only lost half of your investment.
Yes, there is wisdom in this saying but there is also the thought and emotion of fear that is generated that can supersede the logic and reason of whether or not the bottom will ever fall out. Much is the same with our talents, skills and abilities. If we invest them into one area and it doesn’t work out to our favor, we will perceive that we have wasted our time in that area. The fact is that none of us EVER waste our time in service to others. We are ALWAYS edified by sharing and caring regardless of what our respondent thoughts and emotions reveal to us. We learn from each other at all times when we look for the meaning in what we have experienced.
We, in essence, become the by-product of our experiences because they forge our beliefs. Our beliefs are the filter through which we live our lives, make our choices and move toward fulfillment or perceived failure. Remember, failure is being successful at doing something in a way that didn’t produce the desired results. We are ALWAYS successful at no matter what we do. Decisions result in choices, choices result in direction and direction results in progress. Whether or not you put your eggs in one basket always move toward your desired result by expecting the best for all and not fearing what ‘might’ happen.
Even if you lose all of your eggs there are more out there to put in a new basket. Your options are always present when you focus on the abundance of the omniverse and not your perceptions of lack and limitation. Hedge your bet that the bottom won’t fall out by KNOWING where you are going instead of just BELIEVING that you ‘might’ get there. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
When you let go of what you feel you need to control is when you are living in Divine love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Being whom and what you are is nothing to fear. It is in your faith of the Divine that you learn to trust that which has been decided in your favor without any participation from you whatsoever. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you want to make a difference in this world then be who you were created to be; for in being your Divine purpose living in Divine order you are making the difference that the Divine intended you to be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you live from the truth of your inner self you are living in Divine love blessing you with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. When you live from the yearnings of your ego you worry about disease and infirmity, selfishness and doubt, fear over faith and the acceptance of lack and limitation as the way it is. The choice is clear! What choice are you making? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum total of its parts. We are synergistic beings because the ‘whole’ within us affects the very fabric of creation with the thoughts we hold true and the feelings we express about those thoughts. Being the true whole that we are means living from Divine truth and expressing Divine love into everything we think, say and do. That is what Yeshua meant when he said for us to be perfect; as the Divine is perfect. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What you resist persists (Jung). Yet, so many people 'fight' cancer, fight 'discrimination and 'fight' poverty. Why aren't they focusing on building methods to cure cancer, teaching people to accept one another and lending a helping hand to those who need to build their lives? Give up the fight and build a new world where being health, wealthy, prosperous and abundance comes from sharing Divine love? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Conservatives consistently steal their own intelligence by accusing liberals of robbing their freedoms and liberties; or should I say memory instead of intelligence? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Did you know that the Divine is totally in love with you? You possess the very breath of life that has been freely given to you along with free will, grace and Divine love. What a package! Don’t spend your time saying why you can’t think, do or be what you are; just be thankful for it and give it away to others. That’s how we all receive Divine blessings! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Your life will deliver you the same problems time and time again until you allow the Divine to guide you to complete and utter fulfillment. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Being completely fulfilled comes from faith in the Divine within and the complete trust and reliance on the Divine fulfilling your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The problem with the statement ‘live and let live’ is that it precludes any and all interaction with our environments. We are all connected and affect one another whether we realize it or not. Allowing aberrance to flow unfettered to the point where it interferes with someone else's right to experience joy is not living from the Spirit of God. Standing up for the truth is. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
No matter what anyone else says or does always be yourself. You have a purpose to fulfill and it is why you are here. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that you should do this or that to be something they ‘think’ you should be. Listen to the inner voice of silence and actualize your purpose. That’s why you are here and NOT what anyone else thinks you should be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Letting go of being bitter makes you better! When you take the 'I' out the 'E' goes! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you manage to get the outside to be left behind, the inside will fall right into place. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
You are so loved. Accept it; allow it; embrace it. Nothing else matters except the love that you feel and share. Nothing. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you smile when those who have created their own reality receive their just desserts doesn't mean that you are wrong or right; it means that you are aware! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” ~Isaiah 54:17 (King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)).
Living Only Veritable Expressions...LOVE! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
How do you frustrate a Republican? State the truth, leave them alone and do what your inner truth has guided you to do. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Concentration activates the inner springboard of Divine love to bring our consciousness into meditation. Focusing on Divine love results in the letting go of our egos and embracing the Divine Infinite Spirit within. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It's all in Divine order when you act upon the impetus of your inner guidance. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Whatever it is that you divinely desire the most simply give it away and the Divine will bless you with all that you divinely desire! Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Always listen to your heart. It is the only place where you know who, what, where, how, when and why your experiences align with Divine order for the greater good of all. Don’t listen to what your ego, others or some book says about what is right and wrong for you and others. Listen to your heart; it knows the truth above all else. It is how God speaks to you; you just have to listen. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Always REMEMBER! Don't allow the spin doctors to convince you otherwise. Revisionist history will always be purported by those with selfish agendas. Know the truth. Visit your library, peruse the Internet and talk to the survivors. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Never before have you ever had to say no to what you have always known was your purpose and your destiny. Why start now? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
We ARE perfect creations who have the free will to believe that we aren't. And why do we do this? Because our egos want to command and not relent to the guidance of the Divine within! Only when we allow our inherent divinity to flow unfettered by the ego and its accepted beliefs will be live in our perfection. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Bruce Lee once said to not pray for an easy life. He said to pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. How about if I pray for a fulfilled life and remove all perception of any struggle at all? That is more close to Divine truth, isn’t it? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Struggle is a perception that arises from a belief that you are SEPARATE from God. When you allow Divine grace and Divine love to be ever present in your life struggle is NOT needed. We are always in a state of ongoing growth and expansion whether we realize it or not. The fruition of our 'perceived' struggle ultimately is death; and in death we realize that there isn't any perception of struggle whatsoever! Choose to live in Divine order and perceptions of struggle will melt away! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When someone is truly guilty of aberrant behavior and they are hurting others, identifying them as the culprit brings the truth into the light where aberrance can be seen for what it is; lashing out for repressed guilt! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TESTS?
Some think that our experiences in life are a test. I don't believe that it's a test. I believe it is growing and expanding into the realization of our TRUE SELF. There is no old man with a white beard sitting on a golden throne dispensing pop quizzes and hurling lightning bolts at us when we fail.
Stop anthropomorphizing the Divine and accept the Creator Infinite Spirit for whom and what it truly is; the center and Source of all of life and creation. It's time to start seeing the Divine in truth and not as how a child sees an adult; we all need to grow up and see the Divine in spirit and in truth!
The Divine loves us! That’s why we were created! We were unfolded by Divine order moving natural order to be where we are right now. Accept that and move forward confidently knowing that you have a purpose and your life was given to fulfill that purpose.
Only when you move in that direction will you ever know complete joy, happiness and serenity. Stop turning right when you need to turn left to align yourself in Divine order. Be ye therefore perfect! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE
You are only as perfect as you allow yourself to be. When you choose to ignore the perfection within you and defend falling short of it, it reveals that your ego is lazy, selfish and in command of you.
When you are living from the perfection of spirit you don’t gloss over details, you don’t dismiss things as being too trivial for your attention and you acknowledge the divinity within all.
You identify with your inherent perfection and you strive to express it in every moment of your life. Anything less than this is operating from the ego.
Be ye therefore perfect and live from the perfection at the center of your being. You ARE ONE with the Divine. Live like it!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A PERFECT WORLD
We ARE living in a perfect world! We just need to realize our perfection within the perfect world!
When we see perfection as something separate and unattainable we are moving away from our Divine heritage of complete fulfillment in Divine order!
Accept things as they are and move toward where they need to be in order for everyone to experience fulfillment now and ever more! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THOSE WHO CARE NOT
Now, when you can explain away the fact that some CEO makes more in an hour than a working mother makes in a week, who and what you truly are will speak volumes of your true character.
Business and free enterprise are the hallmarks of Capitalism but greed and avarice are the hallmarks of complete selfishness and soullessness. When the 'soul' of the ego reigns supreme the 'soul' of the people pay the price.
When any one of us has to struggle to make ends meet due to some greedy bastard's selfish agenda we are NOT living from the Spirit of God and existing in the Kingdom of Heaven; we are living at the behest of those who care only for themselves.
Stop idolizing those who care not for you or anyone; recognize the souls who support the lives of every living being by living in Divine abundance. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHERE ARE YOU TODAY?
Where are you today? Are you where you want to be? Or are you where you need to be? Just because you feel you need to be somewhere else doesn’t necessarily mean that is where you should be in order for your Divine purpose to unfold in Divine order.
Feelings guide you along your daily path and they should be acknowledged; however, when the Divine guides you somewhere you not only feel it’s right you KNOW it’s right deep within your being. Follow the guidance of the still small voice over the overwhelming personal feelings that crop up throughout your day.
When God needs you to listen pay attention! Be aware and forthright in obeying Divine guidance. It is your benchmark of direction and the fulfillment of your Divine purpose unfolding in Divine order! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
