The foundation's vision is to be a catalyst for awakening the innate health and well-being of people throughout the world community. It exists to provide education, dialogue, and understanding as well as insight into the role of the original materials and recordings of sydney banks to people interested in the three principles of mind, consciousness and thought, as discovered and taught by sydney banks.
He foundation holds two, four day "schools" (seminars) annually, to share an understanding and affirmation of the three principles-based view of human psychological functioning, and to expand the participants' ability to help others. During the fiscal year, there were two schools held:1) insight, simplicity and change (how insights into the three principles create a new understanding of life) november 4th through monday, november 7th, 2016 the november 2016 session was once again filed to capacity. We hosted a wonderful group of people who came with the intent sharing in an exploration of the principles of universal mind, consciousness and thought "as discovered and taught by sydney banks. " the goal of this session was to look at the "true nature" of those principles, in as deep and simple a manner as possible and to relate that to the discovery of "our own true nature. "this session of the school was very well attended and included people from many parts of the world and many walks-of-life. They included business professionals, mental health professionals, people serving at-risk populations and others simply looking to find more peace-of-mind in their day to day lives. All came with the intention of finding deeper insight into the principles and, in turn, themselves. Attendees described the sessions as being full of beautiful feelings that evoked insight from within. The most fundamental experience that people have in their exploration of the principles is what sydney banks so often referred to as "going inside or "finding our own wisdom". This is what brings us happiness, peace of mind and the ability to serve others in the most impactful way possible. "the only way you can change the universe is by changing yourself. Start to see the spiritual realities that lie within and you will start to see a more beautiful, tranquil, a more loving, a more understanding life . . . And from this position, because you are becoming healthy. You will start to help your way. " sydney banks (2) sharing and living the principles with simplicityjune 16th - 19th, 2017when syd first initiated the three principles school, his vision was to share the message of the three principles in as simple and pure manner as possible, just as he offered at his conferences throughout his years of teaching. In support of our efforts to continue that vision, one of the most valuable lessons sydney banks taught us was to see how powerful it is to simply live life. He advised us to stop searching once we had a glimmer of who and what we are at our core. "just live," he said. "you'll never stop learning because truth is infinite. But the search is over once you see. "this session had the highest attendance since the inception of the school in 2008. There was robust attendance from throughout the u. S. As well many from the u. K. Europe, scotland, the scandinavian countries and other places as far away as australia. Many walks of life where represented including business professionals, mental health therapists, people working with at-risk populations (including prison inmates, communities and people with addictions issues) and others simply looking for more happiness and peace of mind. The common theme amongst the very diverse body of attendees was an appreciation that it is the "living" of our understanding of the principles that allows us to share with others with authenticity and simplicity. We have often said that "those who attend the school, are the school" because it is they who will then carry its vision out into a world in need. the ongoing sales of this "all-volunteer produced documentary" continue to be an income stream for the foundation and a core statement of our respect and gratitude for the insight and work of sydney banks as we move forward and continue to support his dream of eliminating as much human suffering as possible. The documentary underscores the essence of our mission as it shares the story of the life and work of sydney banks,
