Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are looking forward to seeing many of you online next month (April 22, 23and 24th) for the Three Principles School. The theme is reflected in its title “You Are the School.”
For almost fourteen years, since Syds passing in 2008, we have endeavored to honor his guidance about the school. He asked that when we share with each other about the profound principles of Divine Mind, Divine Consciousness, and Divine Thought, that we “Keep it simple, speak from the heart and look to a beautiful feeling to be the guide.” Syd saw us all as having divine wisdom within, and knew that the “feeling” more than the words would take us inside to that “land of knowledge.”
Hundreds from every corner of the world have joined us at the school. They have come to listen, to share, and to, at times, experience a profound silence together; one that many have said was a seminal moment in their spiritual journey. The real beauty of the school, however, is not only that people came and found a deeper awareness of the true nature of the principles and their own true nature, it’s that they then took those insights and the feeling back to their professional and private lives. As such, “You Are the School” became a living reality, spreading Syd’s vision throughout the world in the best way possible, through people who have had their own insights and who teach by the living of it!
In this very real sense, the mission of the School has been realized and continues to impact a world in great need. Knowing there are now so many beautiful souls all over the world sharing this understanding is a dream come true and makes the work of our speakers, volunteers and all who came, so very worthwhile. And so dear friends, it is with the deepest appreciation and gratitude to all who have been a part of these amazing events, we announce that this coming session will be the last of its kind. We will not be scheduling any further sessions, but we know that what we have accomplished together will keep growing.
The sharing of this understanding will continue to unfold through the many wonderful teachers and guides committed to Syd’s vision of relieving human suffering. The school itself is preserved in many hours of video made throughout the years, which will remain available. The most important, purest, and powerful source, however, will, as always, be the legacy that Sydney Banks left us with his books, videos, and recordings. No one can share these profound insights like the man whose enlightenment experience brought these foundational principles to the world. It has been our great honor to be part of such a profound journey with you.
We will be sharing more about this change, as well as thanking the wonderful volunteers who have made the school possible, at the upcoming event. We realize there may be questions, but we respectfully ask everyone to accept that this letter contains all the information available at this time. We presently are focusing our resources on the planning and registration process for the April session.
Lots of Love,
Chip Chipman and Elsie Spittle
