SERVICE IN PRAYER
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.
Thank you all for your support, kindness and for blessing us with your ongoing friendship. Peace and blessings to all of you and your families! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
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.
Some have asked why it seems their prayers are never ‘answered’. If we perceive that our prayers weren't 'answered', it was because we were subconsciously expecting certain results and how those results would be manifested. God hears our prayers wherever we are and gives us what we ask for in that moment; the seed within us is watered with Divine nectar. However, some believe that their prayers aren’t effective if they don’t pray on their knees.
It is not necessary to get down on your knees! Praying on your knees is a human commandment made by those who want others to bow down to an authority figure. God has NEVER commanded for people to get down on their knees to pray. Jesus said to pray in your closet but never said what position to pray in; he did say to pray in private. Some also believe that if they don’t pray effectively that God will punish them. God does not punish us! We punish ourselves with guilt for not doing what we 'believe' we should have done.
God allows us to grow and expand because we are children of the Most High! When we pray we should pray for the blessings of everyone! This aligns our prayers with Divine order and bestows upon us the blessings of Divine love. Being ‘perfect’ means to allow God to guide our lives and not our egos; it is a challenge for us to do this in each and every moment of our lives. Be diligent and seek the peace of the Divine; for in that peace is the clarity of your Divine purpose and how to manifest it in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
Imagine exactly what you want to be, how you want to live and who you want to become. Paint a picture so exact that it exudes from your spirit into the perceived dualistic reality. Your consciousness has realized this to express your Divine purpose. Imagination creates the picture and the omniverse responds with the colors, the sounds and the unfolding process of Divine co-creation. Choose to imagine your purposeful destiny every day and watch everything fall into place in Divine order. Get your brush and start painting! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Receiving blessings from the Divine humbles you. You are worthy to receive the bounty of God's love. The blessings are always there; you receive them when you feel worthy of them and you accept yourself as you are. Congratulations and many more blessings! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Reality is the reflection of the projection of actuality. Actually, it's real to us but in reality it is actuality in all. Being real is recognizing the reflection of actuality in reality and the projection into reality from actuality. Really, this is the actual truth. Actually, it is really the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Quantum Physics has already established that the consciousness of the observer determines whether the perceived dualistic reality is wave like or particle like. That could be perceptual fallacy, however, why then do events that occur in one spot occur in another? Is that perceptual fallacy as well? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Blessed are those who recognize the aberrance and faults of others and don’t judge them for the choices they have made; for in their awareness of what’s right or wrong behavior is the ability to choose what’s right or wrong behavior for themselves. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is better to focus on what you need, want, desire and expect to happen, then to senselessly wander through life waiting for all the goodies to drop in your lap. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The best gift is the present. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. ~Carl Gustav Jung
The fact that we are irritated by the behavior of others means that we have transcended that experience and have moved on. We don't want to relive the experience that they are now going through and we don't want it to affect us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When we come to understand that the ego is a beautiful part of us and that it has a job to do, is when we know how and when to put it in its place; supporting the decisions received from the guidance of the Spirit of God within. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you read and believe a book that was channeled by a human being and accept it as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you are side-stepping the Spirit of God within you and accepting someone else's 'opinion' of life; you are not accepting or living the responsibility that the Spirit of God has bestowed on you to allow the Divine presence to work 'through' you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Knowledge comes from the participation in the observation and manipulation of the external reality and wisdom comes from letting go of knowledge and listening to Divine guidance. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The heart is sick that feels that knowledge and wisdom can only be obtained outside of oneself. ~A Course In Reality.
The Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is a made up concept of the Catholic Church and there is no such thing as a 'separate' Holy Spirit. There is only one spirit: The Spirit of God within each and every one of us. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If something down the road isn't any better than where you were, it's time to keep moving down the road. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU
‘YOU’ are the gift that God has given us AND ‘you’ to fulfill your Divine purpose in Divine order. ‘YOU’ are here to contribute your unique talents, skills and abilities for us to live in Divine peace with fulfillment for all.
When ‘YOU’ express through ‘you’ into our world we are all affected by your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, words, actions and behaviors.
When ‘you’ don’t express ‘YOU’ through you we all pay the price for experiencing ‘you’. ‘YOU’ are NOT an island even though ‘you’ feels ‘you’ are.
Stop believing the deceptions of ‘you’ and embrace the revelations of ‘YOU’. We will all be better off; including ‘YOU’ AND ‘you’! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Deep in our hearts resides the joy of life, the peace of our spirit and the understanding of Divine wisdom. It is there always for us to experience when we completely trust in the Divine.
Let go of you perceived control of your life and allow the Divine to move you ever so gently through Divine order to affect your world in such a way that leads to the growth and expansion of Divine love in your world.
Stop fighting, hanging on and holding on to what you perceive you need to survive. Thriving in your Divine purpose comes when you strive to allow Divine love to unfold from your heart into all of reality.
God bless you as your heart blossoms in Divine love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HOW IT UNFOLDS
What undermines the unfolding of our Divine purposes in Divine order is our attachment to how it should unfold. When we let go of the ‘how’ in favor of the ‘now’ we allow the wisdom of the Divine to flow through us healing our being with Divine love and guiding us to complete fruition and manifestation of our Divine purposes. Be ye therefore perfect. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
JUST WHAT YOU'LL GET
When you appreciate everything and expect nothing to happen; that is just what you will receive.
You will live in appreciation of everything and your life will go on with nothing at all happening. When you truly appreciate everything, you expect everything to unfold in Divine order including your Divine purpose.
Yeshua said to get out of your closet and be a positive effect in your world by serving others. Expect to help others and you will truly learn how to appreciate everything. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Please feel free to comment or suggest topics for review. May the Divine always bless you and your families! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Knowing your own Light is the best method of understanding the Light in other people. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you are in the moment it doesn't matter what you remember or what you have forgotten. What matters is what you experience in that moment that aligns you with expressing your Divine purpose in Divine order. Take that experience with you each and every day! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
No matter what parenting children means to anyone, the Divine loves us as children who are becoming more and more aware of the Divine presence within. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
"You are not a drop in the ocean… You are the entire ocean in a drop."..."Dissolve in the Being who is everything." ~Rumi
Unless something is unresolved or unhealed within ourselves, it is impossible not to share with others. Because that is the Nature of Love; it cannot be Love any other way. ~Kim Harris
A friend said to me, "What channel do I turn to for wisdom?" I responded, "You push the red button that says 'OFF'.” ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Look to the past to reflect on what hasn’t worked in your life and reframe it as what you had to do to get to where you are now. Look ahead to the fact that you won’t be there again. Everyday remember the joy of Divine wisdom from the following statement: God is with you every moment. Trust completely and be fulfilled. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When you reach the end of your rope, let go and free yourself of the baggage that's holding you back from actualizing your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Never confuse righteousness with ignorance and ignorance with justification. If you do, you will have already missed the purpose of living in peace, love and understanding with all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Intelligence triumphs over ignorance when gut instinct triggers the awareness to feel what is really going on as opposed to what appears to be going on. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Be ye therefore perfect means to live in peace amid chaos. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Dear God, I know you created me as a perfect being and I want to thank you for loving me enough to allow me to realize that every day. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
I AM
I am what I think, believe, speak, act and behave in my life. Every day I declare the fulfillment of just who and what I am. Being who and what I am is the result of the thoughts I entertain, the beliefs I accept as real, the words that I speak, the actions that I set into motion and the behaviors I express.
Think the thoughts of “I am blessed with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance every day of my life.” Feel the feelings of joy and peace from allowing the flow of Divine love through you to attain those dynamic Divine states of existence. Speak with the words of authority “I AM” and declare those Divine states into being!
Act as if you are in those Divine states each and every moment; for in reality YOU ARE!!! Behave as though you are responsible for the peace, joy, understanding and love for yourself and others. Be a reflection of Divine love as you project Divine love from actuality into reality. Be ye therefore PERFECT!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DO YOU LOVE
YOUR CHILDREN?
Do parents love their children? Do they do whatever they can to guide them into being independent enough to live in interdependence? Do they care, nurture and love them for them to learn the lessons of life and walk boldly on their own? Do they provide food, shelter, education and opportunities for them to grow and expand into a responsible individual?
Most parents do because they love their offspring so much that they want to leave a positive impression on this world. In much the same way the Divine provides all of our needs, wants, desires and expectations to become real to us when we ask in prayer, seek in meditation and knock in service to others.
We receive Divine blessings because we are children of the Most High! We live in what we know we were created to be when we give what others need to them with Divine love. It is our loving duty as Divine children to share what we have been so freely and graciously given.
We are the Divine in action and it is up to us to co-create the Kingdom of God within all. Be ye therefore PERFECT!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DO NOT TOLERATE
I choose not to tolerate for that makes the assumption that I am better than someone else. I remove myself from the presence and overbearing influence of those who annoy me with incessant negativity and pray for their peace.
The more I harbor any resentment for their audacious behavior the more it blocks the flow of Divine love through me. Therefore, I remove the thorn from the puncture so the healing process can begin.
As long as the thorn remains in the puncture, the more the wound festers and the more attention it demands of me. The healing of my being is my responsibility and I actively choose to be healed. As a result, I am blessed. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SUFFERING IN
THE COLD
To all the animals that might be suffering in the cold this winter I pray for their warmth; most of all I pray for the warmth in the hearts of their owners who not only let them suffer in the cold but don't show them human love and compassion.
The coldness of the human heart is infinitely more painful than the temperature outside. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WITHIN YOU
RIGHT NOW!
Everything you’ve ever known to be the true purpose of your life is within you right now! It is you who are separating yourself from living in it by the choices that you make each and every day.
Choose now to make the right choices that move toward the fulfillment of your Divine purpose in Divine order and stay focused on the feelings of joy you will experience within during the journey and when you ‘arrive’.
The truth is that there is no ‘journey’ and you never ‘arrive’; it is available to you right now in this moment.
You are an individualized expression of the Divine Infinite Spirit of God and you are living in the Kingdom of God right now; you only need to recognize it, allow the Divine to guide you in your experiences and be the perfect creation you were created to be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EBOOKS
THE POINT OF LIGHT
This is the point from which we start each and every day. As the point of light grows and expands in our consciousness we see more and more of the Light. As our awareness increases we begin to see and feel the life and love within the Light. The Light within is what we recognize as the Divine Infinite Spirit of God; even though the true essence of spirit is the clear Light that cannot be sensed, categorized or manipulated.
It is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omniparient. It is the source of everything everywhere. As your awareness of its presence, knowledge, power and creativity grows and expands you utilize the gift of grace to know that you too can create reality as a co-creator; not that you bring things into being from nothing but that you bring things into being by manipulating what is already there and co-create a new cohesive whole.
The omniverse is our palette in which to create and the colors we choose to put to canvas have always been available to utilize through our co-creative efforts. We have been given the gift of co-creation; use it wisely to grow and expand into your Divine purpose in Divine order. Become the Divine being you are by recognizing your true source; the Divine Infinite Spirit of God! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
ARE YOU DOING
THE RIGHT THINGS?
Did you do the right things today? Did you share your inner peace with all you encountered? Did you smile with joy from knowing that peace within? Did you understand what your neighbor was going through and lend a helping hand? Did you show all whom you encountered that you are living in love?
If you didn’t, then you are living in your spirituality for yourself alone. Being spiritual truly means that you share the happiness and contentment you embody with everyone you encounter. Smile at the gas station attendant; joke with the grocery clerk; be polite with the retail salesperson; drive down the road respectfully and let others get in front of you.
Step out of your inner spirituality and spread the wealth to everyone you meet. That’s why we are here; to share and not hoard what gives us inner pleasure and divine peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WHAT IS DIVINE TRUST?
What is Divine trust? Is it complete faith in a Supreme Being or inner spirit to deliver the goods when we ask for them? Is it a fantasy that we believe in to comfort us in the belief that we are not divine?
Complete trust requires us to think things through to arrive at a logical ‘assumption’ that we are in an omniverse where we project and reflect divinity. We need to observe the reflections existing in the omniverse in order to make a logical ‘assumption’ that we don’t observe the complete picture with our senses.
When we come to the knowing and understanding that as observers we ‘affect’ whether the omniverse is viewed as being ‘waves’ or ‘particles’. We need to seek the truth above all else by allowing for the existence of things we cannot observe and measure.
Finally, we must always give thanks to the omniverse and all of its component parts for it is the grand extension of the Divine in action. When we trust in the Divine we Think things through, we Reflect on what we observe, we Understand how we affect our environment, we
Seek the truth by seeing beyond what we sense and we give Thanks for being a part of this magnificent omniverse:
Equality will become a way of life when the sanctity for all life and its many manifestations is recognized, respected and loved for being exactly what they are. Men and women need to value, dignify and support the differences in each other while action on each others’ strengths and building up each others’ weaknesses.
We all need to take the possibility of equality into the realm of probability by acknowledging our differences as individual strengths and allowing our shortcomings to develop into a collective awareness of fulfilling the mutual goal of living in peace with all of life.
We have been given the dominion over life on this earth and it’s about time we accept the responsibility of moving toward ongoing and everlasting peace through the recognition and implementation of the equality of all living beings. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NOT PROJECTING!
If you observe aberrant behavior in others it doesn’t mean that you are projecting that type of behavior. It simply means that you recognize what it is and that you have either transcended that type of behavior or you don’t believe it is something that you want to express or have ever expressed.
Those who believe that all that you experience are the result of your projections from your mind and heart are essentially correct; however, because you recognize a murderer for who they are doesn’t mean that you would ever commit murder.
Be real and know that there are things in this life that occur ‘outside’ of your purview and have nothing to do with you at all! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
NURTURE YOUR SEED
Rejoice in the fact that you are a child of the Most High God! You have been given the gifts of grace, free will and co-creation to become the flower of the seed that the Divine has planted in your heart.
Nurture that seed and watch it grow and expand into God’s most prized creation! A fulfilled soul is living from Divine love and spreads peace everywhere they go.
They know that each and every one of us has the power deep in our hearts to express Divine will. Be the flower that pushes up through the soil to kiss the sunlight. Don’t let anyone block the spread of your light!
Remove the bushel and be a beacon to those who are living in the dark. It will spark the Light within them and we will all be living in the Kingdom of God within. Peace; and May God bless you as you burst through your shell and bask in the Light! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
KATRIEL
"Together we celebrate and assist in the emerging paradigm shift beyond religion and dogmas to the realization that we are infinite awareness and that unconditional love is our true essence and nature and through this awareness we have unlimited individual and collective potential." ~Katriel
The universe will put obstacles and drama in your path repeatedly, to test whether you're walking the walk and really learning your life lessons. ~Katriel
CHANGE OF HEART
When your heart begins to change toward an understanding of your experiences is when you notice that your behaviors are not yielding desirable or expected results. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GIVING UP
What screws us up even more than how we think things are supposed to be is the fact that we give up on the picture of how we know it could be! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LET GO
When we let go of the feelings that we have to do something else before we do what we truly need to do right now, we become free from the constraints of fooling ourselves into believing that we truly know what we want to do.
Being honest with ourselves means doing what we know we need to do and not what we believe we must do.
Beliefs are transitory and knowing is timeless. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
What addiction edifies your being? Is it something that everyone can do? Or is it something that only a select few can adopt? Is there a way to break this addiction? Or is it that once you’re hooked you are hooked for life?
Does this addiction cause pain and anguish or joy and happiness? Or both? Well, this addiction does all of the above and more. It is one of the key ways we grow and expand our beings. It is readily available to all when we make sure that it has unlimited access to everyone, everywhere and all the time.
What is it? It is the addiction of reading. Support your local library and local bookstores this holiday and buy a gift that keeps on giving all year long. Turn your family, friends and co-workers onto a positive addiction that stays with them forever.
The joy of reading and being educated is a gift that encourages others into becoming what they were created to be. God bless you for loving others enough to give them something that will change their lives. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Let everyone you know that you love them. Don’t allow another minute to pass by without extending your spirit to those you love. Stop what you are doing and give them a hug, call them or email them. Why?
Because every moment you exist you are here to love and NOTHING is more important than sharing love with those who have loved you, been there for you and care deeply about you. You are in their lives to make them better people just as they are in your life to make you a better person.
Give that hug; make that call; send that email. There are NO excuses that are more important than sharing Divine love from your heart to theirs. Be kind, be caring and be the love you were created to be. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EN DIOS
Did you know that the oldest 'religions' or ‘awareness of spirit' were from the indigenous tribes that migrated to the Americas? They were called ‘Indians” (en dios in Spanish – meaning ‘in God’) by Columbus and now named Native Americans by the U.S. Government.
They have been traced back to more than 25,000 years ago. What did they know that we are just learning? Could it be that since that time other religions have been distracting us from the truth to make themselves middlepersons between God and humankind?
Could it be that the existence of the Great Spirit is more than humans attributing occurrences that they don't understand to a deity? Could it be that we know there is a God because we feel the Divine presence within?
Seek that presence because it is there; not because you want it to be there. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The first step towards living in Divine wisdom is to teach your ego it ain’t all that! No matter how much it pats itself on the back and keeps itself forefront in your consciousness, you need to keep it in its place. The ego believes it IS you and you believe it is you when you allow it to trick you into thinking so. The ego is a construct of the subconscious reactive mind bubbling pre-programmed beliefs, lessons and feelings into your conscious mind and seeking its own identity.
When you identify with this construct it tells you how you feel about how you look, how you think and how you generally approach life. Over the years of consistent identification with your ego you come to recognize it as you. It is a ‘by-product’ of you; IT IS NOT YOU! You are a Divine spiritual being expressing itself in a physical body that generates electro-chemical interactions that feed your perceptions with the mask of the ego.
Drop the illusive and foolish façade that this construct creates. Identify with the Spirit of God within you and put the ego in its place. What is its place? To determine the steps you make to ensure your own self-survival in the perceived dualistic reality. It ‘judges’ whether or not you move in a certain direction, what friends you associate with and what choices you make to reinforce your comfort zone. When you learn to ‘discern’ from the Spirit of God within you are guided to the direction to take, what people you need to associate with and what you need to do to break out of your comfort zone.
It is a process of identifying more with YOU than with you. You are a spiritual being having a physical experience and NOT the other way around. Identify with the Great Spirit of life that projects love into the perceived dualistic reality. That’s where you have come from and that’s where you are going. You are here in the physical for an adventurous ‘vacation’ from Divine bliss in order to learn that it is all that, and NOT your ego! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE MORE WE KNOW
The more we know the further we are from being wise. In knowledge there is a duty to follow what you have learned in favor of what is unfolding that contradicts that knowledge.
Wisdom comes from letting go of all that you have learned by understanding that knowledge is for the edification of the mind and wisdom is for the edification of the heart.
Knowing comes from sensing and feeling your experiences in your environment and wisdom comes from being the spirit that you are.
Use knowledge for its designed purposes and embrace wisdom for what it truly is; the Divine guiding you in everything you think, believe, say and do.
Use your knowledge to allow Divine wisdom to guide you everyday of your life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
IF
If knowledge is power then wisdom is the understanding of what that power represents, and that the effective release of that power is the expression of life everlasting. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If wisdom is the effective letting go of all the knowledge that one has learned then the implementation of imagination is the embracing of all that is and ever will be! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If understanding is the spark of the Divine within then why aren’t we seeking to understand instead of rule? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If being informed is the key to understanding then why aren’t we learning the facts instead of posturing opinions we know nothing about? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If being joyful is the key to Divine alignment then why are we doing the things that are not leading to being joyful? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If being aware of our environment is the path to enlightenment then why are we incessantly doing the things that distract us from being aware? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly seeking to live in peace then why are we always fighting about what our beliefs are telling us are the truth instead of going within and knowing the truth? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly living in love for all of life then why do we condone the killing of any living being for our own gain? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly seeking to edify our lives then why are we repeatedly doing the things that take away from it? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly seeking Oneness with the Divine then why are we making excuses to foster separation between us and them? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly living in abundance then why are we struggling at all? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly living in health then why are we defending our infirmities? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly living in wealth then why are we always wanting something we don’t have? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we are truly living in prosperity then why are we always fighting to make ends meet? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we truly love God more than anything else then why are we not loving our neighbors as ourselves? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If we truly are loving ourselves then why aren’t we living in our Divine purposes? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TIEING YOURSELF
How many people do you know who tie themselves to an illness, infirmity or disease? No matter what you do to help them understand that they are identifying with the illness, infirmity or disease and owning it, they defend it to the death.
It is theirs and theirs alone. They wear it like a badge of honor. Is it a plea for sympathy? Is it dealing with the ‘facts’? Or is it just something that they choose to own and not have healed because of the attention they get for being ill?
Whatever it may or may not be every time they acknowledge its existence and own it with pride they are feeding it with energy to fester. Why not acknowledge its existence and own their healing? Feed the aberrance with healing energy instead of festering energy.
We all are Divine co-creators and Divine healers. Trust in the Divine to heal us despite what our egos or anyone else says! Choosing wisely the method of treatment we feel will work for us and praying for divine healing is moving in the right direction.
We must do whatever it takes to be healed! When we choose health and not living in illness, infirmity or disease we are actively participating in fulfilling the complete healing of our beings. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
A METHODOLOGY
Knowledge comes from information that is observed, collated and understood. Wisdom comes from knowledge that is understood, utilized and released. Science provides a methodology of hypothesizing, experimenting and concluding that results in furthering our knowledge base.
Wisdom provides an understanding of what to do with this knowledge and arrives when we simply let knowledge go. What do we mean by letting it go? Practiced knowledge yields results that can easily be replicated. Logic and practice determine specific outcomes from repeated procedures.
By rote we can re-create results similar to what has been yielded in the past. But what about winging it? What about following intuitive impulses in co-creation? When scientific procedure reveals consistent results, how do we break free from this mold? Enlightened individuals develop science into art.
What is art? Art is “the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance” [dictionary.com].
It is taking the aesthetics of natural order and bringing them into Divine order. It is the acceptance and practice of the knowledge of co-creation with the wisdom of understanding its purpose. It is the ability to allow, respect and trust in one’s ability to co-create Divine order to affect natural order.
Divine recognition is the starting point. When one humbles itself to the inner presence of the Divine wisdom starts to grow and expand. As it does, we learn to allow the Divine to work through us to co-create our reality. As we experience the manifestation of our co-creations we develop a deep respect for the process and the love of the Divine.
This leads to an ongoing trust in the relationship between the ‘created’ and the ‘Creator’. Always remember that art is the ability to take images from the causal realm and co-create them in the physical realm. The process can be memorized by the following acronym:
A – Allowance of the Divine to co-create and manifest ‘through’ us.
R – Respect for the process and abundance of Divine love.
T – Trust in the relationship between the ego self and the Divine SELF.
There is an ART to living in Divine abundance. It is learning, practicing and developing knowledge while understanding ‘how’ to use that knowledge for the betterment of all. This is when Divine wisdom blossoms from Divine grace and blesses your awareness with the allowance of complete health, wealth, prosperity and abundance.
We are here to co-create a masterpiece of peace, joy and understanding of each other through the allowance, respect and complete trust in Divine love. Anything else is a distraction to that higher Divine purpose that we collectively share.
Stay focused and convert scientific principles into the art of masterful co-creation by letting go of what you don’t need in your life and keeping what you do need to grow and expand into your Divine purpose in Divine order. It is up to you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE SOUNDS OF
THE OMNIVERSE
Are you hearing the sounds of the omniverse? Do you hear the subtle sounds of nature in the background of your life? We all hear background sounds and foreground sounds and our brains process those sounds in concordance with our other senses. Hearing is the sense that physically perceives mechanical sound vibrations from the air surrounding us and our brains convert them into electro-chemical ‘signals’ that we interpret and store as ‘copies’.
What we ‘hear’ is a representation of what has created the mechanical vibration in the atmosphere surrounding us. But what are the processes of observation that are ‘inputted’ by the senses? The old philosophical debate comes to mind: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality [Wikipedia.com].
According to this argument, if no observer is around to ‘hear’ the sound, the tree does not make a sound. The definition of ‘sound’ is the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium [dictionary.com]. A sound does not exist without someone ‘sensing’ it; however, the tree falling makes a mechanical 'vibrational' wave through the air and it continues until its energy is dissipated. Without an ear to ‘perceive’ it, it is NOT a sound. Now, this is an argument in semantics, but the parallel is similar when it comes to listening.
Listen is defined as: to give attention with the ear; attend closely for the purpose of hearing; to pay attention; heed; to wait attentively for a sound; to convey a particular impression to the hearer; sound [dictionary.com]. Listening is the process by which you hear AND pay attention to what is being heard. When you ‘listen’ for the ‘sounds’ in your environment that reveal certain thought processes and emotional responses, you are becoming more ‘sensitive’ to their apparent meanings in relation to your self-survival.
For example, if you walked across the street and heard and ‘felt’ the compression of the air from an oncoming vehicle, you would react by getting out of its way as quickly as possible. You might not have seen the vehicle coming, but your senses of hearing and touch were ‘heightened’ at that moment and perceived a threat to your self-survival; you then reacted by moving out of the way.
Our brains take in all of the sensory information concurrently and process that information instantaneously for our environmental ‘reaction’. Our five ‘physical’ senses operate in tandem with our sixth (psychic) sense that affects our individual mental ‘consciousnesses. This sixth sense receives information from our immediate futures and ‘downloads’ them into our physical sensory feed for us to ‘anticipate’ what ‘might’ happen if we continue on our present course.
But what about ‘hearing’ and ‘listening’ to our seventh sense? Our seventh sense is our channel of perception to the Divine. It blossoms open like the thousand petal lotus the more we consistently still our minds and bodies in meditation. The seventh sense is our inner sensory channel to Divine guidance and provides the ability to see the end result of our current actions on the course we are pursuing. This channel is different from the physical senses because it works BOTH WAYS!
We can project the image of the end result we seek to create and it will actualize Divine order to manipulate natural order to bring about the image we retain in our hearts. ‘Seeing’ or visualizing this mental image is not enough to ‘transmit’ this command to the omniverse; we must ‘feel’ the joy from the end result in our hearts to make the jump to complete co-creation. Why does this occur? Why must we feel the joy from the end result? Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying [dictionary.com].
If something you want in life is only temporarily satisfying, it is NOT your Divine purpose. Your Divine purpose is an ongoing state of complete and utter satisfaction that results in complete joy. It is what you would do because it is your passion. Joy only comes from complete satisfaction from living in your passion! You cannot ‘trick’ the omniverse into manufacturing what your ego wants it to believe is your purpose. It inherently KNOWS what you were created for and it will bring it about only when you sincerely ‘feel’ the joy of complete satisfaction.
When your project feelings of joy all of your senses (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) align perfectly to co-create the manifestation of your D
When your heart begins to change toward an understanding of your experiences is when you notice that your behaviors are not yielding desirable or expected results. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. .
What screws us up even more than how we think things are supposed to be is the fact that we give up on the picture of how we know it could be! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

ivine purpose in Divine order. Until you listen to your heart, you will never be completely satisfied. You might make the ‘sound’, but the omniverse will not perceive your request as sincere.
Align what you know will bring you complete and utter satisfaction by praying for clarity and focus; meditating to receive inner guidance; and serving all of life with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. Moving into complete fulfillment demonstrates to the omniverse and all of life that you ‘listen’ with your heart and move within the guidance of Divine order.
May your path be lit with joy and passion! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our Daily Reading for June 2nd -
"Don't Let Yesterday Take Up Too Much Of Today! Its About Learning Lessons Then Moving Forward!"
by Angels Whisper
What is the key to living a blessed life? Is it to do, have and be what you feel you are in this world? Or is it to be at peace amid the surrounding chaos? Do we have a ‘right’ to do, have and be what we believe we are? YES!!! The key to doing what fills your spirit, having what you feel you need to have and being at peace with God, others and yourself is something quite simple. It is a power you have been given by grace and it is the expression of tone setting vibration in the co-creation of your life.
A car has an engine that provides the power to the frame and structure of the vehicle to move it forward. It has a steering wheel that affords the driver the ability to choose which direction in which to proceed. It has doors, seats and clear glass to enter the vehicle, be comfortable and focus on the direction you want to go. The car sits out in front of your house and has the ‘potential’ to go wherever you want. It will not go anywhere unless you are driving it. You cannot start the car and move forward until you put the key in the ignition, turn the engine on and put it in gear.
The key represents the ‘right’ to engage the power of the vehicle to take you where you want. But what is the ‘key’ in your life to ‘take you where you want’? What determines your movement either forward or backward in the unfolding of your life? The key has two lips, a tongue and teeth. It is your mouth! What comes out of your mouth is what sets the tone for your life. What you speak into existence is what becomes your experience. If you speak negativity, you create that state of existence in your reality. If you speak positivity, you create that state of existence in your reality.
Too simple, you might say? Think about it. How can you get anywhere if you don’t ‘expect’ to be there? If you are hungry, you get in your car, drive to the grocery store, buy some food, drive home and bring it into your house to feed your hunger. You ’expect’ to satisfy your hunger by going through the necessary steps to fulfill that expectation. If you didn’t expect this to happen, then why would you do it? Just to go through the steps? Hardly! You have a need to meet and you do what you need to do to fulfill that need! When you speak negativity in your life you are creating the vibration of negativity and that is what you will experience. Conversely, when you speak positivity into your life THAT is what you will experience.
I start each and every day with feelings of joy by centering in my inner peace and through understanding that I am an extension of Divine love. I choose my words wisely knowing that they co-create my experience of reality. When I feel the urge to express myself negatively I catch myself and choose to be silent in my inner peace. In turn, I choose to feel grateful for my experiences and stop and think about why I am experiencing them. These experiences are revealing the answers to the questions I have deep in my soul.
I choose to listen to Divine guidance, put my ego in check and fulfill my Divine purpose in Divine order over everything else. I am blessed!” By consistently making this statement we are assuming ‘control’ over our lives. We are making the choices to learn from our experiences so we can grow and expand into our Divine purposes. Remember, after we turn the key and put the car in gear we are ready to move forward or backward.
When we choose our words wisely, we are ready to step on the gas! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Breathe, breathe in the air. Sounds simple, right? But what does this really mean? The next line of the song says it all; “Don’t be afraid to care.” The one thing we as conscious and sentient beings cannot survive without is breathing. We can go without food and water for a period of time but we cannot exist without breathing. When we slow down our breathing in meditation our minds become less chaotic and assume the slower rhythm of our breaths. In and out. In and out. In and out. The pulsing rhythm of the omniverse is realized ‘through’ us! Without our ongoing breath we have no consciousness of the experiences in the perceived dualistic reality.
As we breathe in atmospheric gases are assimilated with our blood that provide nutrients and oxygen to our brains. Our brains then ‘sense’ the PDR (Perceived Dualistic Reality) by making electro-chemical ‘copies’ of our experiences in the PDR. What is the PDR? The extremes of ‘cold’ or ‘hot’, ‘sweet’ or ‘sour’, ‘fragrant’ or ‘pungent’, ‘dark’ or ‘light’ and ‘loud’ or ‘soft’; and all of the shades of grey in between. The collective brain ‘response’ from the combined ‘sensual’ signatures creates ‘images’ in your thoughts and feelings in your body. Without the crest and trough of the complete wave of the breathing cycle life and consciousness do not continue in your being.
When you take your final breath your body ceases to retain your consciousness ‘energy’ and it is released from your body (energy cannot be created or destroyed; it simply changes its vibrational state). Your body is energy existing as matter. Matter is simply a denser form of energy. But how does a denser form of energy retain a higher form of ‘consciousness’ energy? What holds that ‘consciousness energy’ in your being? It is the ongoing cycle of breathing. Without your breath, your consciousness energy does not reside in your bodily ‘temple’; the combination of this consciousness energy and your body is what makes you an individual soul.
But what is this consciousness energy? Is it the spirit within? It is the ‘projection’ of the spirit within upon the stage of your being. Just as energy was ‘created’ from the Big Bang (something from nothing) in the PDR, your being is the ‘projection’ of your consciousness energy into the PDR. We co-create our realities from the actuality of spirit which is best described as nothingness, stillness or silence. In reality that is what it is but in actuality it is the Divine source that is beyond the capabilities of our sensual system to experience.
Our five external senses can experience the ‘reflections’ of the Divine ‘projection’. Our internal ‘Sixth Sense’ interprets the consciousness energy of other beings and our Divine ‘Seventh Sense’ interprets the stillness and silence of the Divine deep in meditation. We experience the Sixth Sense in our ‘minds’ and the Seventh Sense in our ‘hearts’. Our minds are the consciousness exchanging electro-chemical processes in our brains and our hearts are the internal feelings of the connectivity to spirit that we all have. In reality, our 5 external senses ‘feel’ the electromagnetic and mechanical waves of energy while our internal senses ‘feel’ the consciousness of others and the Spirit of God.
When we are locked into the physical world of the 5 external senses it becomes true when the song says, “And all you touch and all you see, is all your life will ever be.” Gilmour and Waters continue with “For long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide, and balanced on the biggest wave, you race towards an early grave.” They continue with the joy of being home in your own house where you can be you. From travelling all over the world on tour it so good for them to be home and at peace. They even recognize the earthly sounds of the religiously indoctrinated to speak ‘their magic spells’ (prayers).
Prayer is the first part of our recognition and acceptance of the Divine. Meditation is the key step because it allows us to ‘listen’ to the Divine with inner feelings of the heart or images in the mind that guide us forward. The last step is truly integral; it is taking what you have ‘mastered’ and becoming a ‘servant’ to others. It is in the act of ‘giving’ what you expect in your life to others. Helping them to attain their dreams is the key ingredient in you manifesting your dreams. Why?
When you contribute to the growth and expansion of others you are creating the Kingdom of God on Earth here and now. You are participating in life. Stop running like a rabbit digging one hole after another. Taking your focus off of the giver of life (in the song the Sun) to dig another hole keeps you trapped in the ongoing cycle of the physical world and doesn’t allow you the freedom of truly ‘living’ life. Do you want to center your life and experience the joy of living? Then stop and smell the internal flowers of spirit. “Warm your bones beside the fire” of spirit by making the time to enter the peace of the Divine Infinite Spirit within and depart the external world of chaos for an hour each day.
Make this YOUR time for YOU. Take another hour to study after dinner in the field that you desire to work in and learn more than you know now. That leaves 14 hours for work, family and friends after you have slept a good 8 hours.
Meditate in the morning for 20 minutes before breakfast to set the tone of ‘peace’ for your day and carry out your Divine instructions. Visualize after lunch for 20 minutes and feel the joy from ‘feeling’ the success of your desires while feeling grateful to the Divine. Meditate in the evening for 20 minutes before dinner to discharge the stresses from the chaotic external world before beginning your evening.
Processes like this add the ‘juice’ to your life and afford you the increased awareness of God, you and the respect and support of others. Breathe deep, be thankful and be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. May God bless all of you with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance each and every day of your life! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Banks, D.D.
It is better to be completely honest with yourself than to fool yourself into believing that you have been. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is better to walk the path alone than to have company that distracts you from the benchmarks and trail markings you need to arrive at your destination in a safe and timely manner. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

SHARING MY HEART
I share my heart with all of you every day and I am honored and blessed to do so. The gift of acknowledgment and support that you have given me has deeply touched my heart. I go through my day with a smile on my face from your likes, your comments and your quips. You have added so much to my life that I owe you all a debt of heartfelt gratitude.
The wish I have for all of you is that you receive the gift of complete trust in the Divine. The Divine has guided me, protected me and led me wonderfully through my life and given me so much love that I cannot begin to describe how blessed I feel. I have gone through many ups and downs like all of you but when it came down to the worst of the worst my faith and trust in the Divine has always centered me and kept me from harm.
Having all of you as friends has made me the richest man in the world. Your friendship has given me the awareness of my Divine purpose. Your interchanges have challenged me to dig deeper while growing and expanding. Your timeliness has moved me through Divine order to follow my heart and post things even when I am exhausted.
Thank you for being here for me. You are the Divine in action and your ongoing friendship humbles me every day. As you have been here for me, I am always here for you. God bless you all! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
RULES AND HAPPINESS
If we don't learn the rules, laws and principles of how the omniverse works and apply them effectively, we will pay the consequences for our ignorance or reap the joys of our obedience of those rules, laws and principles. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
"Some bring happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." ~ Oscar Wilde
HARBORING GUILT
AND SHAME
In reality, we are the only ones that separate ourselves from Divine abundance.
Our erroneous beliefs and programmed belief systems harbor guilt and shame for our behaviors and our acceptance of them is what 'separates' us from the manifestation of our Divine purposes in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU HAVE IT ALL
FIGURED OUT
Just when you think you have it all figured out just let it go.
The truth is always apparent to those who don’t deal in pre-conceived notions, opinions not based on verifiable facts and agenda-ridden suppositions.
No matter how anyone looks at anything the truth always stands alone; it is obvious, it is clear and it is unfettered by the manipulations of those who try to garner its revelations for their own skewed purposes. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE THE DIVINE
IN ACTION!
You are the Divine in action. Move your arms, legs and tongues with Divine intention and watch the cornucopia of Divine abundance unfold right in front of you. It is your birthright when you accept it, practice it and live it every day of your life! When you serve others from the Divine within, you are serving God with gratitude, appreciation and Divine love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
