When children grow up and desire to be a responsible adult they learn to think before they speak, love before they attack and care before they proselytize. It might help them to realize that God is within them right now, just as Jesus himself told us it is. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
QUOTING SCRIPTURES
Some evangelicals can quote scripture all day and it still won't change the fact that they are repressed, ignorant to the facts and have an agenda to make what their egos thinks is the correct reality. They are not all that.
They need to embrace what Christ taught, and not be Mr. Pharisee in training. Then, and only then, they will be free of the ego's (and Satan's) control over them.
Love is the message of Christ and NOT they’re twisted agenda of control, domination and manipulation! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WARPED VERSIONS
Evangelicals can take their warped version of YHVH and shove it. If they even knew what pantheism is, they would know the difference between panentheism, pantheism and Judeo-Christian doctrine.
They have ignored the facts and have not done the research of the words and works of Yeshua. I have spent more time in the library than they have probably lived in discerning the facts, yet they try to convince me of their right wing Christian horseshit.
I sincerely hope that they have a blessed life. They will need it! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DEFINING YOUR LIFE
When you live in the shadows, even if you see the light, you define your life by what is in the shadows.
Seeing the light is the first step in the realization that you are the light and the shadows are what come from your existence and not the source of your existence.
Be a light unto the world and the shadows will move into the light of reality every day of your life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
When your viewpoint of the world is predicated by what you were told was correct, you will defend that viewpoint based on the trust you had in the person who told you that it was correct.
When your viewpoint of the world is predicated by the intimate contact with the Divine presence, you will defend that viewpoint based on the trust you experience from the Divine presence and you will KNOW it is correct.
Quit being deceived by second hand information, doctrines and charismatic proponents of Literary Authoritarianism.
Trust in the Infinite Spirit of the omniverse and know that you are a child of the Most High and a co-creator of life, love and truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT THE TRUTH?
The difference between telling the truth and the truth that you tell being valid, exists in how you have arrived at that truth. Politicians have a way of telling the ‘truth’, but don’t back up what they say by revealing the source of that truth. If you discover a truth that results from an observation of a few, the results are the truth but only for that observation and NOT for what you didn’t observe.
How many times does something have to happen for you to decide it is the truth? Once, twice or thrice? Or do you have enough discernment to realize that testing small samples only indicates tendencies that reveal ‘partial’ truths.
In order for something to be truthful and valid, it must apply to a majority of whatever you observe in your sample. People are continually swayed by emotional expressions of observations and NOT the factual conclusions of observations. They are ‘emotional junkies’ who are continually looking for a ‘fix’ to make them ‘feel’ good about themselves and others.
These ‘Drama Queens’ or ‘Drama Kings’ are moved by the feelings generated in others instead of what is really true and valid. Don’t allow their skew on life affect your discernment of the ‘facts’. Be true to yourself and others by seeking the truth in life and not the emotional assessment of the truth. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

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.

Living in gratitude is state of being where you experience Divine peace, joy and understanding. You come to understand that Divine grace has already given you license to co-create beauty in your world.
Living in grace is the unfolding of Divine order occurring spontaneously in natural order. This takes place when you allow Divine order to move your spirit unfettered by any distractions that occur in natural order.
All of this leads to an awareness of Divine Oneness where you completely trust in the Divine to unfold your Divine purpose in Divine order.
It is your natural state of existence. Anything else is living in distraction and illusion. Where do you choose to live? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

WHAT KIND OF BELIEVER?
Go to and click on Beliefnet to take the “Quiz: What's Your Spiritual Type?” It will reveal what level of ‘believer’ you are. I took the quiz and it revealed that I am a ‘Questioning Believer - You have doubts about the particulars but not the Big Stuff’. That seems pretty accurate to me. I know that the Divine has created the omniverse from my inner relationship with peace, love and understanding. However, I question the motives of humankind and their obvious (at least to me) agendas in manipulating the beliefs of others.
Take the quiz and get an idea of where you stand as a ‘believer’. Every year have a blessed Memorial Day and Veterans Day and please pay tribute to all that have given their lives so that we might go on. I don’t agree with most of the wars that this country has engaged in, but that does not take away from the fact that my father served in WWII, my ex-father-in-law and my younger children’s stepfather served, and all of the others servicepersons that have served as well and died in service to all of us.
My family members are all buried at the Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery here in Delaware. We will visit their every Memorial Day and Veterans Day and give thanks for their honorable service as well as all of the soldiers who put their personal lives aside to serve this country.
Be thankful for those who have served and pay tribute to them for their service. May peace and love become our mantra and NOT the waging of war. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

YOUR TRUE IDENTITY
We are all individualized expressions of the Most High and we have the ability to express EVERY aspect of the Divine. Giving is our true nature because it is the Divine’s true nature.
Loving, co-creating and manifesting our Divine purpose in Divine order are the reasons we exist.
Identify with THOSE qualities and express them abundantly in your life and the wheels of Divine order will roll you to complete fulfillment.
Be the Divine in action and peace will be with you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
HONORED TO SERVE
I am honored to serve and when sayings or writings come to me I feel a deep peace within that calms me and centers me.
I am blessed each time I serve and I am thankful to be of service.
I pray that when they come they are read by those who are in need of that one little nudge, that soft and gentle touch and that knowingness of the blessings of the Divine that come from serving others.
Peace and blessings to all of you! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEYOND COMPREHENSION
As we approach the truth we must embrace it and allow it to guide our lives. The absolute truth is infinite and beyond finite comprehension.
We can see the 'results' of the truth as we grow and expand; much like we cannot see magnetism, but we can use its results to move an 8000 ton freight train at speeds of 50 mph for hundreds of miles.
See the truth, use it to guide you on your path and live within its power every day. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WYSIWYG
Most computer software program users and programmers know the term WYSIWIG, which stands for What You See Is What You Get, meaning that whatever is on the screen graphically is what you will be able to edit and output from the program.
Our lives are much the same. What we see is what we get when all that we see is boxed into a limited view screen that only shows two dimensions of height and width and interpolates the other two dimensions of depth and time. How do we ‘break out of the box’ so to speak? We incorporate a new paradigm of WYFIWYM; meaning What You Feel Is What You Manifest.
Feel the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors as you manifest them and use the feelings you get to guide you as to what works and what doesn’t work. Investigate the reactions of others but ultimately use your own feelings to guide your progress.
They are a gift that we use to integrate into our collective environment and express our inner desires. The thoughts and ideas are what you get and the subsequent feelings are what you will manifest. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WE ARE ONE SPIRIT
We are one in spirit but there are those who think they are better than everyone else and it is they who we must stand up to and not allow their lies to influence those less discerning than most.
Those who deny their own inner feelings of superiority and disguise them as 'conservatism' are the real piece of cake; a cake that will not only choke you, but suck the living spirit right out of you WHEN you let them.
Christ said you will know them by the fruits that they bear. Be watchful and attentive to what they do with what they have. If it doesn’t contribute to the growth and expansion of all then it is from their egos. If it does, then examine their motives for making it known and discern what their agendas are before you vote.
You have a vote to use wisely and it affords you the opportunity to participate in the betterment of the world in which you live. Peace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THINKING THINGS THROUGH
Do you think things through? Do you plug in different outcomes from one scenario to the next? Are you unsure of what will happy tomorrow or even today? Do you doubt successful fruition, worry about how it things will play out or fear the results as being less than desirable?
Stop over analyzing and allow Divine guidance to steer. It knows where you need to turn and what road to travel on to get to your destination before you have even thought of it.
Allow the Divine to move you when you need to move, quiet you when you need to be silenced and bless you with peace, love and understanding when the time is appropriate.
Hand over the steering wheel and enjoy the ride! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The bar has been so lowered in education that it is true that most people emotionally react because it is easier than having to research, evaluate and think about what the politicians proclaim.
It is much easier to ‘remove’ the ‘black man in the white house’ than to realize that the reason you want to remove him is because you are a racist and have been repeatedly ’taught’ prejudice. These feelings are so buried in your subconscious mind that you won’t even challenge them.
The conservative lobby ‘wants’ it that way so that no one will challenge their motives and they can slip in their controlling agenda in through the back door. When they proclaim what the ‘American people’ want they are saying what the ‘financially successful American people want (the 1%)’ and they use a truth that isn’t valid (if they did, it would INCLUDE the 99%).
This country is multi-racial, multi-religion and multi-sexual. When we all accept who we are and what we are will be the only time when we can work together toward a peaceful and fulfilling world. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
TOUGH LOVE
Tough love is toughest on the parents until they see the results in their children. Then it is gratifying and its purpose is seen as profound. A mature and responsible parent instills values in their children even though the children might not want those values. Diligence pays off when you stand your ground out of love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MORE SAYINGS
What's truly amazing about our perceived ‘challenges’ are that we all have our perceived 'problems' and we all make excuses to accept and empower these problems. We take the short trip from accepting to acclimating to relenting instead of the perceived ‘longer’ trip from rejecting to ignoring to encouraging. We need to reject and disempower any and all perceptions that we are victims to life when in fact we are victors! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Once you have lost interest in judging those who cannot see the natural order of chaos becoming peace you become charged with manifesting love and peace despite their efforts to wage hatred and war. Be true to the expression of love and peace by speaking the truth, helping others realize the truth and by living the truth every day of your life. Be an active participant in unfolding your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It might seem that by giving so much that you will always be hurt, but in reality it is you that have been true to the spirit and the spirit will be true to you by blessing your life with health, wealth, prosperity and abundance! How will you know you have been living these gifts? You will be at peace with God, yourself and others. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Being at peace with others means that no matter what they say, do or inflict on you or others that you know that the Divine spirit will handle their consequences in Divine order just as your blessings will unfold for you in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
All of you are beautiful souls who know the pain of experiencing the insensitivity of others. It is NOT your responsibility to chastise others or yourself for their insensitivities; it IS your responsibility to love them no matter they say, do or act out just as Christ healed those who hated him. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
If you base your entire life on what a Roman Emperor with an agenda decreed one-thousand six-hundred and thirty seven years ago, then you are foolish at best. Why do I say this? Because I have spent the time in the library, seminary school and individual study to discern the facts and NOT be swayed by the rampant emotionalism of preachers with agendas. Sola Fide (by faith alone) and Sola Scriptura (by scripture alone) are contrived doctrines used to justify the ‘word’ as being uttered from the mouth of God.
Why? So that what is said can be interpreted as coming from a ‘separate source’ without revealing that the true source is within each and every one of us and we are NEVER separated from it. It is a dogma of distraction and not focus. It takes the focus off of our inner divinity and places it ‘outside’ of us.
That true source is within you and you don’t need a decree or a book to unify with that source. The first step in gaining wisdom is to realize that all knowledge is conditional. It is based on what has been observed, collated and synthesized into a working ‘whole’ that produces similar results. It is great for all of us to use to ‘do’ things in our lives but not to become One with our Creator. Wisdom comes from letting go of ALL knowledge and understanding who and what we are in relation to the Divine.
We are the children of the Most High and individualized expressions of the Almighty, All knowing, Ever present and All Parenting Divine Creator of the entire omniverse! We have been given the gifts of free will, grace, co-creation and love to guide our live; not some book proclaimed by a murderer as the ‘Holy Word of God’.
Seek the truth within and don’t fall prey to the agendas of unscrupulous individuals whose desire for your salvation is the main focus of their agenda to make themselves ‘middle-men’ between you and God. Be true to God, yourself and others by living in grace and serving humankind. That is the LIVING WORD!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE DEVIL
It has always amazed my how some evangelicals preach fear over and over again, speaking more about the ‘devil’ than about Christ. Christ said, “Resist ye not, evil.” Carl Jung said, “Whatever you resist, persists.”
Want any perception or experience of evil to NOT be in your life? Then stop resisting it; reject its presence and allow the Divine to handle it in Divine order. Be diligent and keep your focus on what is good and kind.
That doesn’t mean that you ignore the results of evil; it means that you use Divine goodness and kindness to squelch evil at every turn by rejecting any perception or experience of it from being predominant in your mind and heart.
Stay focused on the Christ Consciousness of the Spirit of God within and all else will be added unto your life. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
YOU ARE BLESSED
You are blessed. The Divine has created you to be perfect in image, perfect in desire and perfect in love.
Don't allow your ego or others to convince you otherwise. What the Divine creator has made is perfect and expresses co-creativity and love.
Our free will is what allows us to not choose to be what we are created to be. Choose wisely, my friends, for you are eternally blessed. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CHOOSING TO LOVE
Whatever you resist, or should we say 'react to with anger', persists. Whatever we allow, or should we say 'pro-act with love', is in the now.
Choosing to love AFTER we release the anger is healthy. Choosing to manifest that reaction of anger into anything else but love is dysfunctional and aberrant behavior.
Feeling anger is healthy; holding onto it and manifesting it as verbal or physical violence isn't. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SELF-REFLECTION
Self-reflection is but one level of awareness and it reflects back to you what you put out into your world. What you put out you do get back; however, there are unscrupulous individuals who do not operate with that mindset even though you are projecting conditions in your environment.
They don't care what you believe or think because their egos and the agendas are more important than anything else. If you react with anger and maintain that anger, you have identified with an inner projection of that anger.
If you react with anger and channel it into love, you have identified with the Divine within and knowingly allow love to handle the situation or person in Divine order. Turning over your burdens to the Divine in love and watching things play out in Divine order is much better than stewing in your own anger. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Our Daily Reading for May 10th -
"When A Door Slams In Your Face, DON'T Kick It Open. Spirits Got Your Winning Door RIGHT AHEAD!"
by Angels Whisper
If you undo what you have undone, then you must redo what you have done and undo what has brought you to the realization that you need to undo what you have undone.
In other words, do what needs to be done knowing that it is what needs to done in Divine order and don’t waste your time thinking about undoing what has already been done and set into motion.
Do what is necessary to correct any perception that what you have done is worth worrying about because that creates more occurrences and perceptions of things that need be undone. Do it; don’t undo it! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GIFT OF MY LIFE
Thank you, Divine Infinite Spirit of God, for the gift of my life. Thank you for my awareness of YOU, a positive attitude of the unfolding of my Divine purpose in Divine order and the authenticity of my growth and expansion into serving all of life. Please guide my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors to reveal YOUR presence in everything I do. Allow me to allow YOU to guide my every step in co-creating YOUR kingdom of peace, joy, understanding and love with every breath I take.
I am sorry for all of the mistakes and contrary expressions to life we all have created in the past. Please forgive us all for our lack of understanding of your Divine grace. I love YOU as YOU have unconditionally loved me by creating, maintaining and flourishing my life with your inner presence. I daily express YOUR all-knowing, all-being, all-powerful and all-creating nature into my world. I am ONE with YOU and everything and I know deep within that I am never separated from YOU.
Thank YOU for the free will to make the choice to be ONE with YOU. That is YOUR gift to me and my gift to YOU is to obey the inner Divine desires YOU have placed in my heart. I live my life in expectation of YOUR Divine guidance, implementation of YOUR Divine will and the manifestation of my Divine purpose unfolding in Divine order.
I am blessed each and every moment of my life for being YOUR child. May peace and blessings always be my natural state of existence in YOUR Light and love, now and evermore. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EGOTISTICAL MINDSET
When someone tells you that you should only take care of or think about yourself they are operating from an egotistical mindset that has been propagated by a too conservative and less liberal attitude. A balance of the two philosophies is what is necessary to truly travel the ‘middle-of-the-road.” What is the advantage of this for someone who is ambitious and seeks the ways of the contrived world? Only on the extremes of the middle does the ‘action’ take place.
From the early settlers of this country who discovered that self-sufficiency requires hard work, the still got together communally to help build one another’s homes and help those less fortunate in their communities. They didn’t try to often to go to the extreme yet they still maintained a mutual respect for one another in their various communities. Where has all of this gone? It has actually transformed. As one lifetime after another passes by without peace in the world some learn from that ongoing experience and pass down guidance to the rest of us to seek and maintain peace.
Now, with the Internet, we can exchange ideas and philosophies with many people in the world that none of our ancestors even had the chance to communicate with and learn from each other. The various online communities contribute to making this world smaller as they grow and expand. We are leaning globally that peace benefits all and that message needs to be passed down from generation to generation if we ever have hope of complete Oneness with the Creator of this immense omniverse. In fact, there is no hope. There is only TRUST!!! Trust in the Divine Infinite Spirit of God to guide our actions toward complete peace.
Every day we share on our various platforms we are contributing to the mutual growth and expansion of all on this planet that travels 66,000 mph through space. That’s pretty fast considering we live our lives in slices of one rotation. Thinking about and acting in favor of the well-being of others is more important than anything. It allows the Spirit of God to flow through us unfettered by selfish desires. It develops our Divine desires to be aligned with our Divine purpose in Divine order. Living from a ‘middle-of-the-road’ perspective is NOT living in mediocrity. It is living in balance with yourself AND every one. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN
It’s time for a short history lesson for those who can’t see, or don’t want to see, what is going on in this country in regard to the ‘average’ American worker. In 1912, the great State of Montana’s legislature passed the “Corrupt Practices Act” to stop corporate money from literally paying off voters with perks and CASH to sway the average workers vote in their direction. It has been in effect for 100 years and the average cost to elect a representative in Montana in the last election was only $17,000. Now, with the Supreme Court’s treasonous ‘Citizens United Act’, all of the restrictions that were placed on corporate expenditures (inside AND outside of this country) have been removed. The Supreme Court had put a stay on Montana’s law for the 2012 election and Montana’s Attorney General is fighting it in the Supreme Court.
Look at the graphic in the video from TRMS. It reveals that the top election spending conglomerates are right-wing Republican based and three of the ten are unions. Collective bargaining is the ONLY line of defense of the American worker from halting the overt influence of corporate agendas on the rest of us. If these groups continue to stop unions, as is the case in Wisconsin, corporate spending for their agendas will have no checks and balances whatsoever. Is this the kind of country you want to live in? A country where a few determine what you can do as long as you line their pockets? Or will you pay attention to a Rhodes Scholar and her staff who have THROUGHLY done the research to reveal what is going on. Rachel Maddow is that scholar.
Who else was a Rhodes Scholar in politics? Bill Clinton, who gave a stunning speech in Wisconsin IN 2008 about how the Right is trying to dismantle the labor unions, was a Rhodes Scholar. We went from his intelligence to W? In the meantime, Mr. Orange Glow is bellowing “Jobs, jobs, jobs” while his Republican controlled House took up precious time on an abortion act that was voted down and over 50 unsuccessful repeal revotes on ACA.
Be wary of people who say one thing while doing another. It is ALL distraction. Stand up for the rights of American workers to make a decent living and support their families. Don’t allow the systematic dismantling of our ONLY line of defense. Unions brought weekends, child labor restrictions and health benefits to the table for US!!! Call your friends in Wisconsin and urge them to STOP Scott Walker and the Koch Brothers (who are pulling his strings) for taking over our country. You can do it if you could see what is really going on behind the curtain.
~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DOING WHAT WE RECOGNIZE
Sometimes we get mad at others for lying, cheating or taking advantage of others because that is in FACT what they are doing and we recognize the effect it has on someone else that we care for and want to protect. It is NOT necessarily that we are trying to 'cover up' what we are projecting. It is out of love for another that we react with anger but ultimately it is up to us to channel that anger into love so that the Divine will handle it in Divine order.
Victims CHOOSE to be victims and rescuers CHOOSE to be rescuers. If you stand by and do NOTHING to defend those who don't understand what is going on then you are complicit in the aberrant behavior. And it is not always desperation. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. It is not you projecting anything; it is you recognizing what it is for what it is and DOING something about it.
Channeling anger into love is the healthy way to pro-act instead of reacting with anger. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
