Our Story

We are Keith Blevens and Valda Monroe. We are married and we have a unique shared experience that inspires us to want to collaborate and work together. In 1977 we met a man named Sydney Banks, who insightfully learned how our thought and the feeling of our thought works to bring us our experience of life. Within the blueprint of what he learned a deep spiritual direction became surprisingly obvious that has added great clarity and meaning to our lives. Sydney was our friend and mentor to us up until his death in 2009. We have benefited far beyond any personal expectations for our lives, as have most people who learned from what Sydney taught.

Sydney pointed to insight as the active change agent in his experience. He did not teach people to do things to try to change. Instead, he pointed directly to the power of insight. He was changed through insight and that is what he taught. In a world where most things are lateral Sydney went deep. He taught at a level such that when people learned from him it changed them. In pointing to the inseparable principles of mind, consciousness and thought at the very core of all mental life he taught an airtight logical look at human experience that proves to be the first psychological paradigm with no exceptions.

This is not rocket science but it is more than a five minute conversation. It helps people to change in ways most thought would be too hard or even impossible. Our thinking habits started to change through this deeper understanding of how we experience life through the three principles, which is a more powerful way to change than will power. For us, stubborn habits of judgement and criticism got revealed and began to fall away. Repetitive, habitual thought is often revealed and falls away. It is so meaningful to experience these sort of changes in yourself, to lose thinking patterns that were interfering with treating loved ones well. To naturally be less reactive and to honestly be more compassionate and loving. Creativity comes more easily too, and all these things come about not from active doing on our part. As we become more aligned with the innate logic of how our experience works the deeper feelings of life such as compassion, gratitude, love, joy and forgiveness logically replace more shallow feelings.

Since 2006, we have been discovering ways to teach and share this paradigm of wisdom so it is as practical for others as it has been for us. The Three Principles Paradigm provides a practical teaching that anyone can comprehend that reveals a more insightful and wiser way to go forward.
