Island of Knowledge
By Linda Quiring. We include this book in our recommended list as it has lots of original teachings directly from Sydney Banks. Below is the preface by Linda, written in December 1974.
“This is the story of how I moved to a small island to find myself and the amazing encounter I had with an unknown prophet named Sydney Banks, someone who very few people even knew existed.
His teachings are so powerful and so full of love that it is impossible to hear him and ignore his wisdom. He changes the lives of all whom he touches.
His explanation of how Self-Realization is obtained has the validity of pure truth and the results are breathtakingly beautiful. He is indeed a miracle-worker on Salt Spring Island.”
Beyond Beliefs
By Linda Quiring. We include this book in our recommended list as it has lots of original teachings directly from Sydney Banks. Below is written by Linda, on the back cover.
“As word spread further of the amazing events taking place, psychologists and other professionals came to experience firsthand the healing effect Syd’s message had on others. Sydney Banks came to believe that his message could change psychology forever.
In Beyond Beliefs, Syd speaks with psychologists, outlining his radical ideas about the mind and its dysfunction. Some of them are dismissive of this ordinary, uneducated Scottish man’s wisdom; others are mesmerized, become ardent life-long students and carry his message into their practices. Beyond Beliefs contains the original teachings Sydney Banks shared with these mental health professionals and others.”
