Sydney Banks - 1931 - 2009
Sydney Banks
In 1973 Sydney Banks, an ordinary working man, with minimal education, had an extraordinary enlightening experience; an experience of such depth.
This profound experience uncovered the power to change the fields of psychology and psychiatry through an approach now called The Three Principles, and in doing so, to help alleviate the needless suffering of humanity.
Word of this mysterious man, who had the power to guide people to their own wisdom and thus to a healthier psychological state, rippled out into the larger community.
What are the Three Principles?
When it comes to the human experience, we can understand the foundational elements in the form of three universal principles: Mind, Consciousness, and Thought.
While those words mean different things to different people, the principles they point to have been observed and studied in science, philosophy, and religion throughout the ages. They’re the basic facts of life – formless, foundational elements.
Uncovering Your Resilience:
Through the lens of the Three Principles, resilience is seen not as a skill to be acquired but as a natural aspect of our innate well-being. This perspective shifts the focus from external strategies for “building resilience” to uncovering the resilience already within you.


How is this different from therapy?:
Therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and counselling, focus on mental illness, addressing specific mental health challenges through structured interventions. The Three Principles is health focussed and introduce the idea that mental well-being is innate and that individuals have an inherent capacity for clarity and resilience.
Insight Driven Change
While therapies often involve working through specific problems or traumas, the Three Principles encourage insight-driven change. Beneficiaries gain a deeper understanding of their internal experiences, which can lead to natural shifts in perception and behaviour in all areas of life.

So what does this all mean?
When we are overthinking or in a low state of mind, we are only aware of our own thinking, and it appears to us as objective truth, even though it only exists in our own thoughts. Then, as we expand into another level of consciousness, we become aware of the subjective nature of our thoughts, which tend to be different to other people’s thoughts.
Expand further, and we become aware of two different kinds of thoughts – the ones that come from our personal experiences (memory) and intellectual knowledge and the ones that appear when we have a quiet mind (i.e. inspiration, intuition, and wisdom).
An even deeper understanding reveals that we live in a world of Thought – that in fact, we’re not designed to experience anything else. This is the first real recognition of “the human matrix” – that things are definitely not what they seem, no matter how real they look, taste, smell, sound, and feel.
