Syd Banks was an ordinary working man who experienced a sudden and profound spiritual Enlightenment in 1973. In the 36 years that followed, he shared unparalleled insights about who and what we are as human beings, and went on to articulate the understanding known as the 'Three Principles of Mind, Thought, and Consciousness'. He said: “It is through Universal Mind, Universal Thought and Universal Consciousness that we transform the invisible spiritual energy into our personal reality.” He also said “Wisdom is not found in the world of form, nor in remote corners of the globe. Wisdom lies within our own consciousness. Only you have the golden key to your soul and the wisdom that lies within.”

What are the 'Three Principles'?
Michel Neill, in his book about the Three Principles, 'The Inside-Out Revolution' described these principles as follows:
1. Divine Mind is the same as the Universal Consciousness, Source, the Universal Mind, the intelligence of all things, the Universe, your Higher Power, BEing, God, life, and aliveness. You don’t have to think about mind as you already have it.
2. Divine Consciousness is the expanded state that Deep Coaches may help you achieve by entering the elevator of consciousness. You are already aware so you don’t need to obtain it.
3. Divine Thought is the same as presence - you are one thought away from revelling in a new reality. This is the same as spiritual knowledge and is what we realise when we look within, to our Truth. This equaliser makes us as holy and worthy as anyone else on Earth. Our experience of life is created by our thoughts. Bad experiences are like painting a monster and then running away from it. Truth or presence is peaceful bliss. Everything else is a painted monster. Just see everything as the path to transformation. Thought is like the rudder of a ship – it guides you through life. You can determine your own reality. The second you realise that sadness or fear are simply thoughts about the past or future, respectively, then they cease.
The formula for miracles then is: 1+2+3 = reality. As you already have 1 and 2, you create your reality by simply becoming aware that by dropping out of thought, you automatically connect with Universal Consciousness, and access spiritual energy as our reality. The Truth is immutable and is a place of equanimous peace and joy. Everything else is just the matrix, created by thought. You can’t change Truth, and why would you? It would be like fighting the Universe or fighting against your peace or joy.
See, it's simple.
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you: Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.
George Bernard Shaw wrote that “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” Are you ready to change your mind?
Namaste.
