The "Three Principles" of ''Mind, Consciousness'' and ''Thought'' were first articulated by Sydney Banks, a 9th-grade educated welder, born in Scotland, living in British Columbia, Canada in the early 1970s. The Three Principles approach is also referred to as Health realization. == Discovery of the three principles == According to Banks' verbal accounts, as recorded at lectures, he realized the three principles while attending a marriage seminar held on Cortes Island, in British Columbia, Canada. The seminar encouraged couples to ''let their feelings out,'' be honest, and argue with one another. Discouraged with the process, Banks and his wife prepared to leave the seminar. As they were doing so, Banks became engaged in conversation with a therapist also attending the seminar. Describing himself as ''an insecure mess'' at that time, Banks began elaborating on all the ways in which he felt insecure. The therapist's response, ''I've never heard such nonsense in all my life'', was a revelation to Banks: ''What I heard was: there’s no such thing as insecurity, it’s only Thought. All my insecurity was only my own thoughts! It was like a bomb going off in my head … It was so enlightening! It was unbelievable … (after that, ) there was such beauty coming into my life.〔"The Truth Lies Within," Part 2 of the "Long Beach Lecture Series, Lone Pine Publishing, Edmonton, Canada''〕 The three specific terms, Mind, Consciousness and Thought, were not clearly delineated during Banks' initial experience. The three words—and his definitions—would become clear later through his talks and lectures. Referring to them as ''the psychological trinity''〔Banks, Sydney, ''The Missing Link: Reflections on Philosophy and Spirit'', International Human Relations Consultants, p. 21〕 Banks does not take credit for finding the Principles, rather the Principles ''found him.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three Principles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
