The Three Principles: Bringing Hope into Prisons
In March of 2005, when we were living in Tampa, Florida, events occurred that would change and enrich our lives in ways we had never dreamed of. Syd had called us a few months before asking us to visit a woman who had been writing to him from a Florida prison not far from where we lived.

On Sunday, March 3rd, we had our first call of the March Teleconference Series, “Insight, Love and Peace of Mind”, which is held on Sundays and Tuesdays. It was wonderful to be on the line with people from several countries around the world. More than anything, we enjoyed the insights shared by the callers. It is heartwarming to hear from others who are learning about The Three Principles and talking about them with their own voice. Feedback from the participants has been wonderful.

Read MoreThe Three Principles: A quote from “The Oneness of Life” by Sydney Banks
Quote from Sydney Banks (From his DVD “The Oneness of Life) “It honestly is a mystical dream. We’re in this mystical dream, and you have a free will to go through this mystical dream the way you want to, the way you see it . . . .
