Simon Says:
Finally, Christmas is over and I survived sober. Just seemed like another day to me. Almost forgot it was Christmas but then remembered and called my mother like I always do on the holidays. My daughter also visited me yesterday from California which was a real treat since I haven't seen her in almost a year.
On the 23rd the books I ordered on the Three Principles arrived. I ordered “The Enlightened Gardener”, “The Enlightened Gardener Revisited” and “The Missing Link”, all written by Sydney Banks. I tried doing some research on the guy but couldn't come up with much. Sydney Banks died in 2009 and it's my understanding he was just an ordinary working class man that had a profound spiritual experience about 37 years ago and dedicated the rest of his life to spreading the word of his experience. Originally called Health Realization, at his request it is now referred to as The Three Principles. The Three Principles are: universal mind, universal consciousness, and universal thought. The concepts are supposed to be so simple that they can't be explained in words. Mr. Banks does the best he can by using metaphors. There are several books and DVD's for sale on the subject. The Three books I just read on the subject are clearly written but they left me pondering the real meanings. One thing for sure is that you should let your past go and get on with living today. The past is gone and no longer exists, don't let negative experiences of your past define who you are today and when the thoughts of your negative experiences of the past come along do your best to let them go and recognize that they are just thoughts, not your current reality. I know there is a lot more to this and I'm going to continue to research it until I'm satisfied. The concept is supposed to work on all forms of mental illness and addiction.
