Beyond Beliefs: The Lost Teachings of Sydney Banks
After publication of Island of Knowledge Sydney Banks and Linda Quiring began work on a second book, Beyond Beliefs. While the first book detailed Linda's experience and life changes after becoming a student of Syd's, the following years saw dramatic change on Salt Spring Island. Sydney Banks' initial and revelatory experience brought scores of young and idealistic spiritual seekers to the Island to hear Syd's teachings and become his students. As his reputation spread, mainstream people came to join what was to become a fairly large following of students. 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. 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.

Finding Truth
In order to find life we must volunteer to lose it.
In order to find Truth we must delve within.
In order to delve within we must find ourselves.
When we do, we can expel from the throne of our minds the barrier to that original Wisdom.
When we find Wisdom, we experience peace and love.
When we experience peace and love, we grow empathy.
When we have empathy and love, we have found true life.
Wisdom and Truth lie behind this barrier.
We must be quiet in order to hear It's small, still voice.
An amazing book, and an amazing account of an ordinary man who learned to be quiet enough to listen.
