The Relevance of Sydney Banks' Role – Details, episodes & analysis

This is our last podcast conversation for this series and our guest is again, Elsie Spittle. What a beautiful way to end Season 1 of a podcast that was born out of a deep feeling. She mentioned in this episode how Syd pointed that an insight, an enlightenment experience, could happen to any of us, bringing the Mystery and the Mystical to our everyday experience. For Elsie, that is the relevance of Sydney Banks.

Linda Pransky went to graduate school at The University of Washington in 1975. She specialized in psycho-social nursing, because she had an interest in learning how people change. She learned techniques and approaches to helping people, but nothing seemed long lasting and beneficial. When she met Sydney Banks in 1976 she saw a way for people to really change. Her vision became one of helping people seek real and long lasting change. Linda is currently on the executive committee of the Three Principles Global Community, past faculty member for the One Thought Institute and Partner at Pransky and Associates.

On this episode, we talked with Julian Freeman. He is a social filmmaker who has a deep feeling on Sydney Banks as a level of consciousness and how,  Sydney Banks together with the Principles, are just one. And, when we see both together,  we get the whole picture. 

Julian Freeman's bio: In 2010 Julian’s life took sharp turn when he nursed his Mum through her terminal illness. Life was different after that, new business, new partner, new home and he found the Three Principles along the way too. In 2010 he picked up a video camera and hasn’t put it down since. Julian was fortunate to help Elsie Spittle and Chip Chipman make the video, "Genesis of the Three Principles." This was a great honor and a wonderful journey of understanding that helped him, a man who never met Sydney Banks, connect ever more with his own understanding. As a social filmmaker he makes films that show just what we are capable of and this continues to be a journey full of passion and curiosity.
