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 \u003ci\u003eBeyond Beliefs\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Beliefs\u003c\/i\u003e contains the original teachings Sydney Banks shared with these mental health professionals and others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLinda Quiring and her husband Bill live on a small farm on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia where they grow heritage apples and keep bees.

Soon, her personal spiritual journey led her and her husband Bill to move to Saltspring Island in early 1974. Her search for that 'guru who appears the moment a student is ready' led to the door of Sydney Banks, who had also just moved to the Island after having an enlightenment experience. At their first fortuitous meeting, Syd articulated a desire to write about his very recent experience, and suggested that Linda, an avid reader and writer, work with him. After listening to Syd she became 'cured' without any further medication or treatments. \u003cbr\u003eThe next year saw more students appear, and within five years, hundreds of students had moved to the Island to follow this quiet man and his startling revelations into the nature of life. With \u003ci\u003eIsland of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e selling thousands of books, and another on the way, Syd's path led to the wider world, where he would write books, work with psychologists and other professionals and disseminate his teachings. Linda's journey however, led to settling into a normal life on a small farm, where she and Bill raised their son Gary, made artisan soaps for a living, and kept chickens and bees. \u003cbr\u003eA heartfelt desire to write, and surprised by the outflow of love and interest in those times, Linda was encouraged to write about The Early Days. Still friends after four decades with other very early students, she included their stories as well, making for an enthralling look into the beginnings of a now worldwide movement in higher consciousness as experienced and taught by Sydney Banks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLinda Quiring and her husband Bill live on a small farm on Saltspring Island, British Columbia where they grow heritage apples and keep bees.

Salt Spring Island was one of the centers for the counter-culture movement in Canada; home to hippies and back-to-the-landers.
