Everything that you’ve ever dreamed you would be is still available to you; right here, right now. The only thing that separates you from your innermost dreams is your belief that you are separate.
When you come to the realization that you can remove all of those beliefs that don’t serve your Divine purpose and start to remove them by allowing them to be discharged, Divine peace will be realized within. Then, and only then, will you be aligned with your Divine purpose completely.
This is when the natural begins to appear supernatural. As Divine order moves natural order into play you begin to feel more of what you know you must do. It is the Spirit of God actualizing your Divine purpose in Divine order. Drop the oars and allow the current of Divine providence gently move you downstream. Let go of any perceptions that you are in control and the Divine will guide you in everything you think, believe, speak, act and behave.
It is in the allowance that the true ultimate power of the omniverse resides. Allow love to flow through you and spice up the lives of others. Be your divine self, already! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
DIVINE COMMUNICATION
As each day passes I realize more and more just how thankful and grateful I am to the Divine for blessings my life.
The Divine allows me to do what I enjoy to do the most and make a living at it. I am rich in Divine communication, a great family, loving friends and bountiful opportunities.
I am blessed everyday more and more. Thank you, dear Lord for my blessings and I love you with all of my heart! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
EXPECTATION
Some will tell you to dismiss all of your expectations, like it’s the right thing to do. Hardly. When this immense omniverse was created the Divine ‘expected’ it to happen or it wouldn’t have happened, would it?
Some say to expect nothing. When you expect nothing, that is what you'll get! Nothing! We are beings of Divine love and we must expect the love of the Divine to guide us or we will never hear it.
Divinely ‘expect’ the best to happen for all and share Divine love with everyone you encounter. This will create the world that you want to live in and be in, now and forever! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
CHEMICAL PROCESSES
One thing that many psychiatrists and mental health professionals fail to embrace and mention is that repeated thoughts generate chemical processes as well as the other way around.
Every thought, feeling, belief, word spoken, action contemplated and behavior expressed generates chemistry in the brain and body that cause these processes to regenerate similar chemistry.
As above, so below. As within, so without. Do you just see one side of the coin? Or do you understand that our bodies are psycho-physical units that affect one another? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Want success? Share your wealth of experience and contribute to the success of another! You have been blessed with many experiences in your life and they have all contributed to whom and what you are right now.
There is value in what you have learned concerning what works and what doesn’t work. By actively sharing the value of those experiences you are contributing to the success of another.
Remember, all of your experiences might not be pertinent to the success of another; but in the active process of sharing your wealth of experience you focus your attention on what you need to do to become successful in the choices you make.
Being helpful, kind and supportive to others in meeting their goals helps you to meet yours. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
COLLECTIVISM
The perception that collectivism is evil is based on the ego's desire to look to itself for the answers. We are all connected and not separate from each other and the Divine.
True collectivism is what occurs naturally in Divine order. Rugged individualism reveals its basis in the ego. When you rise and fall on 'your own merits', you are denying that you are connected to anything; when in fact, you are!
Jesus said whatever we do to the least of these, we do unto him. We are connected and when we live with love to one another, we are using our individual talents to the best of our abilities. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

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.

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.
Want friendship? Be a good friend to another by giving them love no matter what. Loving another doesn’t mean that we have to deal with their ups and downs every moment of our lives; it means that no matter where they are we share Divine love with them.
Be a part of the solution to their problems. Some people will defend their infirmities, dysfunctionalities and aberrant behaviors to the end in order to justify them to themselves. Don’t be a part of their pity party; offer them Divine love and support when the Sun is shining and when it is raining.
It demonstrates consistency of purpose and a centered focus of love. It is being a good friend by setting an example of love; no matter what happens. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

AHEAD OF THE GAME
Is it better to let go of what you don’t want, or keep what you do? If you let go of what you don’t want it opens you up to perceiving what you do want. If you keep what you do want, then what you don’t want will keep cropping up until you let it go.
It is in the choice of letting go that your perception of external circumstances and their perceived power over you lose their integrity. Nip the unnecessary in the bud by letting it go BEFORE it interferes with the blessings you are living every day.
This way, you are ahead of the game and not playing catch up ball. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Ego has a way of making itself obvious. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The ego operates in the realm of 'good' and 'evil'. The choice that we make every moment is to allow the guidance of the ego to rule or the guidance of the Spirit of God to rule. As always, it is our choice. Seek balance in your choices but know the difference without being fooled by the self-survival instinct of the ego. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Your divinity is not dependent on your words; your words are dependent on your divinity. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
We all exist in the realm of the perceived dualistic reality and that is why we need to move from that awareness of being separate into that of being One. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
We are a by-product of our environments as our environments are by-products of us. We live and breathe in our environments and 'As within, so without' is reversible just as ‘As above, so below’. Our perspective is dependent upon the choices we make every day. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
The day when no one judges, legislates morality or bullies anyone that has love for another is the day that the Kingdom of God is truly here. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
Love is love and those who stand for love see no restrictions, condemnations or conditions. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
We are all understanding love more and more every day. Knowing love comes from feeling love, sharing love and being love. It starts with loving all of life as you love yourself. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
THE EGO IS A CONSTRUCT
The ego is a construct that explains our need to make choices of survival. It is not 'real' in one sense, but is there nonetheless.
When your ego chooses to NOT see the facts that are in front of you it is based on your acceptance of what you 'believe' is correct. When you base your life solely on beliefs you are operating in the realm of the ego.
When you allow unity in diversity and operate from divinity and NOT belief, all is revealed to be expressions of the Divine and there for a distinct and unique purpose.
Things and experiences that appear separate are in fact individualized expressions of the One in the perceived dualistic reality. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
SUFFERING
Suffering is from the ego's perception and the ego is a dynamic construct of what we do to protect ourselves. Expressions of the Divine exist within the perceived dualistic reality and have the 'essence' of God within; the Spirit of God extends and projects Light into Love and the omniverse is manifest.
We exist in a realm of shared 'observance' and 'practicality'. Any dynamic form of adherence to spiritual principles requires a basis in fact and not belief. Beliefs are a by-product of consistent and accepted thoughts, ideas and concepts.
Facts are occurrences and events that are observed, recorded and collated to derive an operational belief system that develops opinions of those facts. We exist in what we 'believe' is real to us.
Belief is in the realm of what agenda the ego wants to manifest because it thinks it's all that. Jesus proved that an effective 'balance' between ego and spirit allows us to live in love and gratitude.
"Be therefore perfect, just as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect.” ~Jesus (Matt 5:48). ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
It is better to reap what you sow than to rip what you sew. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
In many of my writings I refer to the term ‘construct’. It seems that some don’t completely understand what the term means. Nowadays, it is very simple for anyone to go to dictionary.com or Wikipedia.org to learn the definitions of terms that aren’t used frequently in everyday conversational language. The term ‘construct’ is to create a ‘thought form’ of an image, idea, or theory of an especially complex nature from a number of simpler elements.
I have referred to the ‘ego’ many times as a ‘construct’. In my studies of the physiological chemically based brain, it is very apparent that chemical interchange, or proper lack thereof, creates many ‘states’ of consciousness that ‘accept’ or ‘reject’, or ‘allow’ or ‘resist’ conditions in our environments.
Choices are made based on the sensory inputting of these conditions in relation to whether we ‘fight’ them or run away from them (flight). These complex processes are based on our own need for self-survival. When it comes to defending ‘me’, these complex processes are dubbed as the ‘ego’. The ego doesn’t exist as a firm definable ‘thing’, but a construct of several different ‘things’; ‘thoughts’, ‘beliefs’, expressed ‘words’, ‘actions’ and ‘behaviors’ that arise from the chemical interactions in the cortex and ventricles of the brain.
If one moves to protect itself in mostly every environmental interaction it could be said that they have a strong, effective and ‘victorious’ ego. If one succumbs to environmental interactions it could be said that they have a weak, ineffective and ‘victim-centered’ ego. However, if one ‘transcends’ the illusions of the perceived dualistic reality of hot/cold, black/white, effective/ineffective, the ego begins to change its role of complete leadership and survival at all costs. Even a ‘victim’ based ego has the inner desire to survive at all costs.
Transcending the ego’s grip on our lives begins when we listen to and allow the guidance of the Spirit of God as it speaks to our hearts. When we begin to temper the perceived control of the ego with the heartfelt desire of spiritual Oneness, we begin to balance our inner beings with the formidable force of the ‘ego’. Always remember, the ‘ego’ doesn’t really ‘exist’; it merely is a construct of chemically based interactions that seek self-survival at all costs.
Prayer tempers the perceived control of the ego by recognizing the existence and presence of the Divine. Meditation allows us to center ourselves in stillness and silence, experience the presence of the Divine and listen to Divine guidance. Service to others takes that guidance and teaches our egos that concerns of others are just as important as ours. Practice all three everyday and achieve the balance you need to fulfill your Divine purpose in Divine order. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MARRIAGE
Marriage is a union designed by humans to make a public commitment to one another. If it is not for all, then it is a farce at best.
When two people love one another, it is their right to declare that to anyone and everyone without ANY fear of hatred, reprisal and disdain.
To those who disagree; GROW UP and smell the stench of your own ‘stinkin’ thinkin’ that is based on a complete misinterpretation of the supposed ‘word’ of God that was forged by men with their own agendas. Get real!!! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
MY BLESSINGS
Love to all of my FB friends. You have blessed me with the joy of knowing you, interacting with you and having your presence in my life. I am blessed to be able to communicate, share and point the way inward to the Spirit of God.
My relationship with my Creator is personal, just like yours. It is personal to me because I feel the Divine presence in me every day guiding my steps. The only time things go awry is when I get in my own way.
When I turn the steering wheel over to the Divine wonderful things happen beyond my imagination. I am so thankful to be alive, to hear the Divine’s voice of silence and to share it all with all of you.
Thank you all for being my friends here on FB. You have added so much to my life and I am eternally grateful to all of you. Peace and eternal blessings. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
LIKE PRECIOUS JEWELS
There are some things that are sinister and alter reality. These things are so close to us that we don’t even question their veracity and blindly accept what they reveal as true. We all have them and we hold onto them like precious jewels. We will defend them to the end as being ‘how it is’. Our smaller self grips them as having such value that it takes such force to rip them away from our possession. They rule our lives and convince us that what they reveal is the absolute truth.
We accept what they tell us without question until we realize that we have been fooled by them. In reality, they exist to protect whom and what we feel we are. We hold onto them because we identify with them. What are they? Our beliefs! The greatest impediment to Oneness with the Divine is the steadfast embrace of erroneous beliefs. They are what block our allowance of our individual divinity.
They SEPARATE us from a complete understanding of Oneness with the Spirit of God. Why do we keep them once we know they are deceivers? Because we accept our individual mediocrity as our lot in life. When we step out of our comfort zone and pursue our innermost dreams we have to separate the chaff from the wheat. The chaff is what holds the nourishment in place while it grows and expands but it is not valuable to our nourishment.
We separate what we don’t need in order to get what we do need in order to survive, strive and thrive! Get rid of those beliefs that don’t serve your Divine purpose being unfolded in Divine order. We have the ability to choose what is divinely true and that is that we are blessed as being children of the Most High God! We are co-creators with the Divine in the unfolding of this massive omniverse of abundance and creativity. Create beauty, peace and love by discharging any and ALL beliefs that separate you from being the divine creation that you are. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY AND ALLOW DIVINE LOVE TO MANIFEST YOUR DIVINE PURPOSE IN DIVINE ORDER. Simple enough, isn't it? But how do we get out of our own way? Do we ignore the survival instinct of our egos? Do we join a monastery and meditate all day? Or do we simply ALLOW the inner presence of Divine love to move through us to activate Divine order to move natural order in order to manifest our Divine purpose?
Balance is the key. Be aware. Be diligent. Completely trust in the Divine to fulfill what we were created to be; an individualized expression of the Most High that exudes Divine love to everyone every day in our lives. Oneness comes when we accept that we are never separate from the Divine.
We are divine beings and children of the Most High. We need to think, believe, speak, act and behave like we are in order to express our Oneness in Divine love. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT SECURITY?
SHOW SOMEONE ELSE THAT THEIR OWN SECURITY IS WITHIN. BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS OF HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THE DIVINE AND HOW MUCH THE DIVINE LOVES YOU! What is security? It is a perception of freedom from danger and risk and creates subsequent feelings of safety. It comes from an inner peace that imbues confidence, freedom from care and freedom from any feelings of anxiety associated with not-knowing that one is secure. It minimizes feelings and processes of doubt, worry and fear.
Security comes from observation, learning and implementation of principles and processes that reinforce one’s feelings of security. But how does one come to a state of feeling secure? Inner security comes from having an ongoing relationship with your Creator and knowing that the Creator is there to support you unconditionally. No matter what happens in the external world you KNOW that the Creator is there operating through you to create love, unconditionally!
When you operate from this center you can demonstrate to others how they too can have that ongoing relationship with their Creator by living from within and influencing without. Your example of ongoing communication and expression of love to the Divine will manifest as a state of ongoing peace in your life. Peace is a DYNAMIC state that demonstrates that no matter what goes on outside of you that you maintain a Divine connection and understanding within that comes from a knowingness that the Creator loves you.
Be a living example of Divine communication, peace and perpetual security. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT HEALTH?
AWAKEN TO THE DIVINE PHYSICIAN WITHIN AND ALLOW YOUR HEALING TO TAKE PLACE BY LOVING YOURSELF ENOUGH TO MANIFEST YOUR HEALING. Too many of us strive for a healthy mind, body and spirit while neglecting the source of health completely. Deep within you is the source of all health. It is the Spirit of God within you blessing you in every moment with health and healing. You simply have to allow the presence to take hold and stop trying to ‘handle’ or ‘own’ your perceived infirmities.
Too many people identify emotionally with their infirmities and come to a state of accepting their ‘reality’. Within you is the Divine physician who loves you enough to teach you HOW to heal yourself. Remove the blind acceptance and ownership of your perceived infirmities and quit using them as a crutch to justify your acceptance of your own mediocrity. No matter what your perceived state of health is, know that the Divine loves you enough to heal you COMPLETELY.
You need to get out of your own way by loving yourself enough to participate in your healing through the sharing of Divine love. Go to the bedside of others with similar infirmities and pray for them. Give them the gift of Divine healing and you will expedite your own healing. Give out to others what you desire for yourself and the Divine will bless you continuously.
If you doubt any of what is stated here then you need to examine your beliefs and remove any of those beliefs that deny divine healing. It is your choice and your health. Affirm it and be it now and forever. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT WEALTH?
BE WHOM AND WHAT YOU WERE CREATED TO BE BY UTILIZING YOUR TALENTS, SKILLS AND ABILITIES TO PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO OTHERS. Wealth is abundance of anything; from money to friends to opportunities. It means that you have an abundance of ‘exchangeable’ products or services that have mutual value.
Within each and every one of us are talents, skills and inherent abilities that we have blessed with and should be developed by us to make then ‘exchangeable’ and ‘marketable’. When we use these blessings to provide our livelihood, it affords us the ability to survive. When we strive to better our skill set, we begin to create opportunities for us to thrive.
Thriving occurs when we provide valuable products or services to others in exchange for products, services or remuneration from them. It is a mutual blessing for both parties and it is a dynamic part of our living process. True wealth is beyond acquisition of products, services and money. It is the resultant state of peace that we experience allowing us to feel fulfilled while creating a mindset of wealth.
Give of your Divine purpose to others in Divine order and the Divine will most assuredly bless you with an abundance of wealth! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
WANT PROSPERITY?
MOVE FROM A SURVIVAL MINDSET AND MEDIOCRITY BY STRIVING TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE. SHARE YOUR DIVINE GIFTS AND LIVE IN A NATURAL STATE OF THRIVING. Prosperity is a state or condition where one is deemed successful at what they do to maintain and EXCEL their lifestyle. It is NOT settling for anything less than flourishing and thriving results. Others may determine prosperity as ‘good fortune’ but in reality it is a natural state of existence when one is living their Divine purpose.
Circumstances, or the existing conditions or state of affairs surrounding and affecting someone’s actions, are created by the mindset and emotional reactions of a person’s attitude and values. When you operate from a mindset of prosperity, you ignore doubting, worrying or fear of circumstances and proceed boldly toward your natural state of prosperity.
Being prosperous means that you discharge any and all thoughts, beliefs, words, actions and behaviors that demonstrate a state of mediocrity. Ultimately, it means trusting completely in the Divine to meet and excel your perceived needs, wants, desires and expectations. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
