The Last Session of the Three Principles School on Salt Spring Island

The Three Principles School was founded in 2008, by Chip Chipman and Elsie Spittle at the request of Sydney Banks. He guided us through the first three classes, and his last talks before an audience were given there.

Syd talked about the critical need for the school and its role of ensuring that the teachings of the Three Principles as taught by Sydney Banks continue. He was keenly aware of the growing demand for teachers with the deepest possible understanding of the Principles, and the volumes of human suffering they could end. He was passionate and unequivocal about the importance of teaching the spiritual essence of the Principles.

The last and final session of the School was held in April of 2022, via Zoom.

Throughout the last fifteen years, hundreds of dedicated souls have taken part in the school. They came from dozens of countries and countless communities world-wide. They returned to their lives and communities with a deepened understanding of the true nature of the Three Principles and of their own true nature. This also deepened their understanding of the foundational role of the enlightenment Sydney Banks experienced, without which the Three Principles would not have been revealed to a world in need. This is why we titled the final session “You Are The Three Principles School.” It is because of the people who have participated throughout these many years, and their  ongoing sharing of the simplicity and power of Syd’s vision, that we feel the primary mission of the School has been accomplished.

It is now widely recognized and acknowledged throughout the world that Syd’s enlightenment experience is inextricable from and essential to our understanding of the Three Principles and their profound impact on humanity’s spiritual and psychological evolution. It is rare these days for people to learn about the Principles without an awareness of the mystical experience that brought them to light, and the humble welder who dedicated his life to sharing what he had found. Most importantly, people are honoring the spiritual essence of Syd’s message, that Truth is found in each-and-every one of us, via a feeling, beyond the words and before the intellect.

Thank you once more to all who have been a part of this beautiful journey.
