Fireside Chat with Linda Pransky & Elsie Spittle

An Honest, Insightful Conversation About Life, Peace, and the Three Principles

If you're looking for something that brings you back to what matters, this Fireside Chat between Linda Pransky and Elsie Spittle is one to sit with. It’s not just a conversation—it’s a glimpse into the deep feeling and quiet wisdom behind the understanding of the Three Principles.

Linda and Elsie have known each other for decades and were among the earliest students of Sydney Banks, the man who first articulated the Three Principles: Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. In this recording, they reflect on the profound ways this understanding has impacted their personal lives, their work with others, and their own ongoing growth.

A Conversation Full of Wisdom and Heart

What makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just what they say—it’s the way they say it. You’ll hear warmth, laughter, moments of quiet clarity, and the kind of connection that comes from two people who have spent years walking the same path.

They speak with humility and honesty about their own insights and blind spots, their learning curves, and how they continue to discover more about life and the human experience. These aren’t scripted teachings or polished philosophies—they’re stories shared from the heart.

Elsie and Linda remind us that we don’t have to have it all figured out. That peace of mind doesn’t come from mastering life’s circumstances, but from understanding the nature of thought and the deeper intelligence that lives in all of us.

Listening Beyond the Words

One of the most beautiful parts of this recording is that it allows you to listen without pressure. There’s no need to analyze or take notes. You don’t need to “get it.” Just listening—openly and quietly—can shift something inside.

That’s what the Three Principles point to: a deeper space within us that’s always available, no matter our circumstances. In their conversation, Linda and Elsie don’t just describe that space—they speak from it. And in doing so, they invite the listener to rest there too.

Whether you’re brand new to the Principles or you’ve been around this conversation for a long time, this recording has something to offer. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when we stop overthinking, stop trying to fix or figure everything out, and simply allow insight to show up in its own time.

A Timeless Conversation

There’s a reason people return to this recording again and again. It’s not because of a single profound takeaway or piece of advice—it’s because of the feeling. The kind of grounded, hopeful, human feeling that stays with you long after the recording ends.

It’s a reminder that wisdom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from listening more deeply. And sometimes, the most helpful thing you can do is slow down, listen, and remember who you are underneath all the noise of the mind.

We hope you enjoy this Fireside Chat as much as we do.
