COURSE
The Three Principles: An Introduction
With Liz Scott
The Three Principles bring spirituality into the realms of psychology and psychiatry. Originally articulated by Scottish mystic Sydney Banks about 50 years ago, these principles emerged from a profound, life-changing experience that altered his life's course. Following his enlightenment, Syd left his job to share his hopeful message of mental health with anyone willing to listen. Since his death, the transformative message of the Three Principles has been spreading globally. In this course, you'll explore how the Three Principles can guide you to the fundamental truth of who you are.

Incredible course, had so many moments of profound insight .. and peace. Having a significant impact on my overthinking habit. Even with something struggled with since early years, which lightbulb now showed has been a 'poor me' thought story. Taken notes & summarized. I will be working on this to cement it! 💖

This is a wonderful course that helps think about your thinking. I feel like so many things have coalesced around these ideas and so it's nice to have some language to put things together. Or a structure in which to understand myself. I love Liz's personal stories and insights that help point people in the right direction for finding their own insights. I highly recommend this course to anyone (and I have).

Thank you for this lens. I look forward to observing the three principles in my own life. It echoes a bit of my Taoist studies. We are one.

I had a hard time with this one and I’m not really sure why. I just am not getting it 😞

Thanks Liz. You did a great job of teasing out the distinctions of the three principles. I found this course especially helpful with thoughts.

I appreciate how it’s broken down in a kind of philosophical way rather than technical. Its looser and more easily understood using personal stories, kind of like working by feel.

Likened to being guided while blindfolded through a forest, this course teaches principles of understanding yourself and your world. For me personally, it felt like I was able to tie together the steps that my mind makes when journeying from raw experience to settled outcomes. Thank you.

This course helped me to better understand the collaborative and combative volley of thought (active good & bad judgements) and the wisdom of mind (unconsciou goodness compass): with an ebb & flow conscious nudging me in the direction of righteousness ( the right thing to do).. It helped me to appreciate and actively seek guidance from my Holy Spirit.
