December 1, 2022 — Ryce focuses on resistance to doing the actual work of Forgiveness. Using a longtime acquaintance who repeatedly recognized connections between unresolved rage and physical pain but resisted consistently doing worksheets, he contrasts intellectual recognition with disciplined application. He also connects mind and body as one energetic system and stresses making time for healing rather than using busyness as an anesthetic. The show closes with holistic health, gardening, composting, living soil, and growing genuinely nourishing food.

December 2, 2022 — The central theme is resonance. Ryce uses tuning forks and microcirculation as illustrations of how matching energetic patterns interact, then applies the principle psychologically: material denied and compressed within the mind may be activated by people and circumstances that resonate with it. Rather than blaming the trigger, Forgiveness allows the person to address what has been activated internally. Fear, sympathetic dominance, circulation, and unresolved generational patterns are woven into this mind-body model.

Pre-recorded Yinka_Part1 (Global Book Club with michael) December 5, 2022 — In this prerecorded book-club discussion, participants explore how unconscious beliefs can govern a lifetime without entering conscious awareness. Ryce describes the “heart” as the unconscious and emphasizes that Forgiveness provides access to material that cannot simply be figured out intellectually. Questions address which worksheets to use, whether simpler children’s versions can be helpful, and how resistance to worksheets often signals material the person does not want to face. Breath, willingness, practice, and connection with Love are emphasized. YouTube https://youtu.be/yw36HVrf47k |

Pre-recorded Yinka_Part2 (Global Book Club with michael)
December 6, 2022 — The conversation examines a mother’s relationship with her daughter and the generational wound of interpreting another person’s displeasure as evidence that “I am not loved.” Ryce encourages the mother to take responsibility for her own hostility and disapproval instead of allowing the child to believe she caused them. Family histories of emotional withdrawal, conditional approval, war, loss, and disrupted parenting are explored as patterns passed through generations. Healing begins with recognizing oneself and the child as the presence of Love and consistently working through inherited material. YouTube https://youtu.be/0jo1w6RU6tA |

December 7, 2022 — Doug discusses distress about political and world events. Ryce redirects the inquiry toward perception: whatever is observed externally is presented through a construct generated within the brain, and fear or hostility can distort that construct. He distinguishes recognizing harmful behavior from energizing it with rage or fear and introduces equanimity as the ability to remain connected to Love while responding appropriately. The discussion expands into critical mass, personal energetic responsibility, generational trauma, and Forgiveness as a way of withdrawing one’s internal “vote” for destructive patterns.

December 8, 2022 — Ryce explores denial, dissociation, Carbon-Based Memory, and the difference between genuine thinking and automatic resonance with past information. Susan discusses a man living with them whose history of homelessness and fear offers repeated opportunities for compassion and Forgiveness. The conversation also examines addiction broadly, including compulsive phone use as a way of avoiding uncomfortable internal states. Ryce stresses community, consistent Forgiveness practice, and learning to recognize when apparently external problems are activating unresolved internal material.

December 9, 2022 — Ryce develops the idea that “mind energy becomes flesh,” describing thoughts and emotions as patterns that influence physiology. He discusses how holding the Breath and suppressing unwanted material may contribute to dissociation, while Breath and Forgiveness allow hidden material to become accessible. A striking example is given of a woman who, after months of practicing the tools, reports remaining at peace despite the deaths of her son and mother. The show also considers activism and how to address destructive social conditions without reinforcing them through unresolved rage or fear.

December 12, 2022 — Susan reports that her grandson Luke has remained sober for more than 40 days, is living in sober housing, and is reconsidering his educational future. A simple coin toss reveals his relief at choosing a new university rather than returning to an environment associated with drinking and the internalized voice telling him to “tough it out.” The conversation broadens into addiction recovery, intuition, family influence, humanizing people rather than reducing them to political or social labels, and the importance of addressing causes rather than merely effects.

Radio Show has been going for 1 hr since January 31, 2011 (3,097 hrs). Dr Tim began doing another hour on March 4, 2019 (987 hrs). That is a total of 4,084 hours of shows todate. December 13, 2022 — Callers explore parenting, self-judgment, empathy, paradox, and the movement from emotional reactivity toward Being. Celinda shares insights gained from caring for a formerly feral cat and recognizes how insisting on her own way resembles patterns she wishes she had understood when raising children. Ryce later describes emotions as resonances within Carbon-Based Memory and explains that complex mixtures of rage, grief, fear, depression, and anxiety cannot be intellectually “uncooked”; Forgiveness works by identifying and canceling the goals holding the perceptual complex together.

December 14, 2022 — Ryce and Jeanie reflect on more than 4,000 hours of MindShifters Radio and the growing international archive of shows, videos, workshops, and teaching resources. The discussion moves into making the work available globally, childhood trauma, nervous-system regulation, and the need for a holistic understanding drawing from psychology, physiology, neuroscience, physics, and Aramaic teaching. Ryce emphasizes Rakhma as a necessary Love-aligned condition for accurately comprehending ancient teachings and returns to Rukha d’Qudsha as the inner Breath dynamic through which error can be undone without the conscious mind having to figure out every stored trauma.

reading The Way of Mastery continues, Dr Tim is posting the archives at https://mindshifters-academy.org/way-of-mastery-on-mindshifters-radio-with-commentary/ December 15, 2022 — Ryce explores anger and other compulsive emotional states as forms of addiction. He offers that blaming outside events keeps the underlying pain hidden, while Forgiveness requires going beneath anger to the thought disorders and hurt driving it. The conversation links 12-Step recovery with first-century Aramaic Forgiveness, emphasizing that true recovery means recovering awareness of oneself as Love rather than merely stopping a substance or behavior.

December 16, 2022 — Ryce develops the meaning of Y’Shua’s “eyes to see and ears to hear” as the capacity to build sufficient understanding to recognize what is actually happening during healing. Longtime colleague Patrick describes a major healing crisis and learning to “surf” feelings instead of suppressing them. Willingness is described as the “Cosmic Grease” that opens access to previously avoided material, while Breath, observation, and parasympathetic relaxation support the process.

December 19, 2022 — The show returns to healing as a creative process and the principle that “mind energy becomes flesh.” Ryce distinguishes treating disease from addressing the thought and emotional patterns he believes underlie disturbed physiology. He uses resonance, neuropeptides, Forgiveness, and conscious creation to explain his model and encourages listeners to focus less on disease and more on creating conditions for health. These physiological interpretations represent the show’s framework rather than established medical conclusions.

One day Frank stumbles into Cafe Gratitude, a Raw food café in San Francisco, and meets Ryland, the café’s manager. Ryland asks Frank, what is one thing you’d like to do before you die? Frank answers ‘I want to fall in love one more time, but with a body like this, no one will love me, because i don’t love myself.’ Watch as Ryland, his brother Cary and best friend Conor, help Frank take on his weight, health, relationships and loving himself in just 42 days.” Stop killing ourselves, must look inside and decompress those energies.

2nd hour pre-recorded Magda’s Hydra December 20, 2022 — In this prerecorded program, Magda works directly through a Reality Management/Forgiveness Worksheet using herself as the trigger. Ryce explains that a worksheet can be done on oneself, another person, an object, or a situation, and that self-blame is still blame even when a person recognizes that the issue is internal. The session demonstrates how identifying and canceling goals can uncover different layers depending on the chosen object of attention. YouTube https://youtu.be/hlbeF-iMUxM |

December 21, 2022 — Ryce gives a foundational explanation of first-century Aramaic Forgiveness as turning inward to access and remove destructive energetic patterns rather than externalizing their cause. Denial is defined as believing something outside oneself causes what is happening internally; dissociation then hides the unwanted material and creates what is called the unconscious mind. The tools are presented as a way of reopening that hidden material in the presence of Love. YouTube https://youtu.be/Q90uHEG8PME Newsletters https://whyagain.org/newsletters/ |

December 22, 2022 — The discussion centers on resistance, victimhood, and blame. Ben joins after posting that refusing to blame others can be profoundly freeing, which Ryce connects with his phrase “the one world religion of blame.” They explore how blame gives apparent power to outside people and circumstances, while responsibility restores access to one’s own internal process. The show emphasizes service, choice, and the willingness to stop rehearsing reasons why change cannot happen. YouTube https://youtu.be/9LV8dTXfboo |

December 26, 2022 — Ryce uses a replayed 2014 discussion on bullying as a springboard into a broader exploration of blame, projection, Christmas symbolism, and Forgiveness. He describes the “one world religion” as blame and says that when hostility, fear, or misery accompany perception, the mind is projecting dissociated internal content outward. Reflecting on the Christmas story, he interprets “no room in the inn” as a metaphor for a body-mind so filled with hostility and fear that there is little room for the active presence of Love to be born within it. The work, then, is to “clean the inn” by removing what is unlike Love. Ryce reads from A Course in Miracles on the unforgiving mind and emphasizes that Forgiveness means removing the false, fear-based self rather than pardoning someone else. Susan connects this with blessing others, enlightened goals, Al-Anon, and learning to cancel goals that keep perception trapped in anger or fear.

The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world. ²The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and release from pain. ³It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there. 3. The unforgiving mind is torn with doubt, confused about itself and all it sees; afraid and angry, weak and blustering, afraid to go ahead, afraid to stay, afraid to waken or to go to sleep, afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light. ²What can the unforgiving mind perceive but its damnation? ³What can it behold except the proof that all its sins are real? 4. The unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. ²It looks upon the world with sightless eyes, and shrieks as it beholds its own projections rising to attack its miserable parody of life. ³It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. ⁴It wants forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. ⁵It wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it sees the sinful everywhere.” and the list goes on. |

December 27, 2022 — The show begins with Healing from the Ground Up and the ecological importance of native plants, pollinators, living soil, and restoring local food webs. Ryce and callers discuss shrinking lawns, planting native species, supporting bees, moths, and other insects, and taking individual responsibility rather than waiting for government to solve ecological problems. The conversation then shifts to health, where Ryce distinguishes treatment from healing and offers that people should become informed primary participants in their own care. A caller asks about “reprogramming the subconscious,” prompting Ryce to reject the idea that healing is simply replacing one mental program with another. He distinguishes subconscious from unconscious material and says the purpose of first-century Aramaic Forgiveness is not to install a new trance, but to access and remove what does not belong while allowing Love, rather than the controlling mind, to direct healing. MindShifters, Breath, StillPoint, willingness, and sustained practice are presented as ways of opening what has been hidden and allowing deeper material to surface.

December 28, 2022 — Ryce reflects on Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other traditions as opportunities to recognize humanity’s underlying sameness rather than reinforce separation. He describes perception and physiology as two aspects of one process and says Forgiveness weakens fear-, grief-, and trauma-based constructs so the body-mind can move toward healing. The broader invitation is to replace inherited separation with conscious active present Love.

December 29, 2022 — Ryce calls blame the “one world religion” and contrasts unconscious replication of family trauma with conscious creation. He offers that people continuously create, but when operating from unresolved Power Person patterns they reproduce the past. Challenges can therefore become invitations to wake up, do the inner work, and develop what he calls a viable conscious spiritual body rather than continue cycles of defense, struggle, control, and blame.

December 30, 2022 — The final show of 2022 explores whether people can “pick up” the thoughts of others and continues a discussion about demonic or external entities. Ryce distinguishes automatic resonance of stored Carbon-Based Memory from genuine thinking, which he defines as holding Love conscious, active, and present while something unlike Love is moving. Shared energetic resonance does not mean identical thoughts; each person activates material according to their own stored patterns. The conversation emphasizes interconnectedness, individuality, community, kindness, and strengthening Love through resonance.
YouTube https://youtu.be/gf1qzVG4FnY Additional Notes: “The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.” Carl G. Jung Can’t be a change agent for things “out there” until we change the dynamic within ourselves. Handle internal war then we can stand for the (contribute to) the external change of war. Make room in the inn for the mind of Christ (Love). Familiar, family, she grew up with the need to be understood and for survival the need to be right. “If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.” Carl G. Jung – and can substitute ‘world’ instead of ‘child’. |
