Life is a Mystery
Have you ever pondered... Who am I? Why are we here? How did we come to be? How did any of this come to be? Why do some people seem to have an easier time in life and always get what they want? What is it all about?
We will never figure it out, even if we tried. Despite this, we do try, each in our own way. We try to understand life by pushing to the limits, through exploration or through someone else’s understanding that we may take on as our own. Most of this would fall under the category of trying to ‘figure it out’.
However, most of what lies beyond what we know or what we think we know, cannot be revealed to us via the intellect. We know there is something greater than our individual reality, this reality perhaps colored by past experiences, can lead us blindly to assumptions, not realizing they are just our uniquely perceived reality.
The truth of what is ‘out there’ may be beyond our ability to see, hear, touch or ascertain through an intellectual understanding. Yet, we can all sense there is something infinite beyond the finite experience we have in the physical world of form. All we have to do is look up at a night sky, observe an ant colony or a lioness caring for her young at the zoo. We know on an intuitive level that there is an intelligence far beyond our own. Through this knowing, we see infinite possibilities all around us. Infinite colors, shapes, designs and patterns in the world out there. We can’t ‘know’ infinity on an intellectual level because the intellect is finite.
We are designed and imbued with a level of curiosity. It’s curiosity that drives us, which is good, because curiosity is a doorway to understanding. We can probably agree that we will never come to the end of all there is to understand.
My personal observation, perhaps fueled by my girlhood addiction to Nancy Drew Mystery books, is that we seem to have a built in desire to solve mysteries; an innate curiosity that drives us to find out what we’re made of and what we can become.
Native Americans refer to God as the ‘Great Mystery’, the mystery behind all of life. This mystery is what allows us to feel awe and the desire to live in reverence of all living things, of all life forms, animate and inanimate.
Spiritual knowledge is the ability to know when we are about to do something harmful and offers us the wisdom to know that we’re experiencing what we’re thinking. How cool is that? We can see and experience creation and we can also create experience through the divine gifts of Mind, Consciousness and Thought - it’s like having a window into the workings of all humans by realizing we are all operating out of the same three Principles. And we each have the free-will to use these gifts however we decide.
In 1973, Sydney Banks uncovered what he referred to as, the three Principles of Divine Mind, Divine Consciousness, and Divine Thought. They are the building blocks of all mental behavior. (1)
Mind, Consciousness and Thought are the three principles that enable us to acknowledge and respond to existence.. They are the basic building blocks, and it is through these three components that all psychological mysteries are unfolded. (2)
To put these findings into perspective… A Theosopher’s understanding comes from a direct experience using his or her own innate knowledge, or if you wish, from what is sometimes known as Original Thought. (3)
Sydney Banks was a Theosopher who had a direct experience of Mind. He didn’t think it up. It happened to him and he asked: “Why me? Why did this happen to a welder with a 9th grade education?”
What happened to Sydney Banks was a paradigm shift in his understanding about Life, and through his sharing of this experience, hundreds of thousands of lives (and counting) have, literally, transformed, since that ‘defining moment’ in 1973. By “transformed” I mean living in a more contented, loving, peaceful, happy, experience of life.
That’s what Mystery School is all about. If you are curious to learn more contact me here.
A growing accumulation of evidence that documents Sydney Banks’ experience, the Three Principles, and the expanding global resources in physical and digital form have been steadily emerging since his milestone event.
Following are a selection of online resources for one to explore and uncover the True Nature of a profound experience by an ordinary man that lead to uncovering the Three Principles.
