Tim continued his reading from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on Chapter Five, “Hope Rekindled.” He highlighted Finley’s teaching that the Sacred wants to be found and that every sincere step toward the Divine is met by the Divine’s movement toward us. Quoting mystics like St. Francis and Meister Eckhart, he emphasized that meditation is not a path to God but God reflecting upon God—an idea that echoes Dr. Ryce’s view that life itself is the field of divine intelligence. When we live from awareness instead of striving, our being naturally aligns with creation.

Exploring “The Shocking Secret of True Success,” Tim explained Finley’s contrast between worldly success and inner fulfillment. Real success, he said, is spiritual—living from contentment rather than chasing results. Every act of devotion to Truth cleanses perception and deepens peace. He tied this to Ryce’s principle that goals set from pain perpetuate suffering, while goals set in Love bring healing and clarity.

Finley’s section on “Seven Ways to Make God’s Life Your Own” inspired reflection on remembering the Divine in everyday moments. Tim said this practice of “spiritual memory” is how we reconnect with Source. Remembering during doubt or difficulty invites Love into awareness, much like Ryce’s teaching to “cancel the need to be right.” He drew parallels to Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence, showing how mindful awareness can interrupt negative patterns and return the mind to presence.

Tim then read Finley’s “Self-Wholeness: The Hidden Path to True Happiness,” describing how awareness of our many “selves” allows unity to emerge. Observation without identification, he said, ends the inner war. Citing the Upanishads and Buddhist wisdom, he reminded listeners that awakening reveals the oneness already within us.

In the final segment, caller Don shared his decision to begin journaling after a major life event. He described struggling with anxiety and overthinking but felt ready to explore his emotions through writing. Tim encouraged him to start even if it felt awkward, explaining that journaling bypasses logic and accesses the unconscious. He mentioned Ryce’s MindShifter Tool as a form of targeted journaling for uncovering hidden beliefs. Susan Flueck suggested voice journaling, while Don decided to handwrite, inspired by Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages. Tim reminded him that any consistent expression is valuable and closed the hour affirming, “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

November 3, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce unfolded as a warm, intimate dialogue about breath, Love, and the real work of healing. Michael opened by joking with Jeanie about her broken foot and his attempts at household chores—turning what could have been stress into laughter. Both reflected on how their years of doing the inner work had transformed difficulty into connection. Even amid pain and pressure, they were able to meet each other with compassion and humor rather than tension, showing how deeply the tools had become a living practice.

Shawn joined to discuss his written research on breathwork. Michael appreciated it but offered a key refinement: the healing process begins not when Love reenters perception, but when the breath deepens—because the breath is Love in motion. He explained that holding the breath creates a “veil of the temple,” a barrier between the conscious and unconscious mind that traps old pain in tissue. When breath reaches those hidden places, the locked energy softens, and Love dissolves what had been withheld. Shawn agreed, noting that remembering who we are and breathing consciously are inseparable acts. Michael added that in Aramaic, Rukha d’Koodsha—mistranslated as “Holy Spirit”—actually means breath, not a distant, ecclesiastical spirit. Humanity’s tragedy, he said, is having turned that inner breath of life into something external to be administered by religious institutions, when in truth, it has always been our own.

He read from the foreword of Jeanie’s Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time, calling it a book that “delivers transformation before your eyes.” He said the problem in all ages is that people want belief rather than practice—the disciples themselves walked away from Yeshua, saying, “Too hard a saying, who can hear it?” What’s required is breath, presence, and willingness to face one’s own mind. Without that, perception fills with the past instead of revelation. Michael compared it to losing internet connection—when breath is cut off, vitality and awareness vanish. Only restoring the breath reopens the link to Love.

The discussion turned to the Aramaic meaning of “prayer,” which he said means “to set a trap for God.” True prayer is not petition but embodiment—aligning body and breath to receive Love’s frequency. The very bones of the head, spine, and pelvis act like a living antenna: when aligned, they receive the broadcast of Love; when misaligned, consciousness fills with “snow and static.” This is why Yeshua’s prayer was a set of instructions for how to live as the presence of Love, not a formula for asking favors.

Later, conversation shifted toward personal healing. A caller spoke of a priest who became emotionally peaceful as he physically declined from AIDS. Michael said pain often “makes our ears grow,” awakening the will to do the inner work long postponed. He emphasized that physical symptoms don’t always mean unresolved guilt; sometimes they call for new understanding or willingness to receive help. Jeanie admitted that letting others care for her during recovery had been difficult but freeing—an invitation to soften and allow support. Michael quoted, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” and reminded listeners that Love doesn’t need to be forced. When barriers fall, Love simply appears.

A caller worried that Michael’s distinction between conditional “love” and true Love might erase affection. Michael reassured her that affection naturally arises from real Love; when hatred and judgment dissolve, compassion flows effortlessly, even toward those once rejected. The world calls approval “love,” he said, but true Love is the unqualified, all-embracing energy of Being itself.

Jeanie then read a text from Andrea, who had questions about her Personal Code Evaluation. Michael explained that it measures where mental “holes” or blockages exist and that he and Jeanie never see the answers—it’s computer-generated to reveal patterns needing healing. The three lowest scores show where the greatest growth potential lies, and specific assignments teach how to strengthen those areas. He assured Andrea that the system, based on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, is over 90% accurate and has produced profound life changes when combined with the forgiveness tools. Shawn added that as people keep using the tools, self-exploration becomes safe, even joyful. Michael ended with laughter and gratitude, repeating one of his favorite lines: people ask, “How many worksheets do I have to do?” The answer—“Until you want to do them, because you’ve seen the change they bring.”

Tim continued reading from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on “Discover the Secret of Your Immortal Self.” Finley described two aspects of human life—the earthly and the divine—and how higher awareness bridges both. Tim reflected that awakening to this awareness reveals the eternal aspect of being that exists beyond time. Finley’s idea that each person carries a “celestial seed” resonated deeply with Ryce’s teachings: that life is an unfolding curriculum of Love’s remembrance. The passage urged readers to release the attachments and self-images that keep them bound, likening the process to a hot-air balloon rising once its tethers are cut.

Tim shared personal examples of hardship that later proved to be blessings, including injury and loss, illustrating Finley’s point that every event works “for the good of us,” even when unseen at the time. He said the key to transformation lies in surrender and trust—learning to relax into life’s unfolding rather than resist it. Drawing on Michael Singer’s teaching, he noted that peace comes from softening, breathing, and allowing whatever arises, without judgment of good or bad. Acceptance, he said, brings ease to both body and mind.

He read Finley’s chapter “Your Divine Treasure Map,” which emphasizes that humanity is never separate from the Divine. Quoting Yeshua, Plotinus, and Ramana Maharishi, he highlighted that “the kingdom of heaven is within.” The task, Tim said, is not to seek the Divine outside but to rediscover the connection already alive within the self. He elaborated that self-inquiry—the turning inward to awareness—is the path to conscious relationship with Source. When a caller asked whether being “consciously aware” and “knowing” are the same, Tim explained that intellectual understanding differs from direct, lived experience. Real knowing, he said, is the felt awareness of Love, not the mental analysis of it.

Another listener reflected on how the mind craves understanding, and Tim replied that thinking about feelings traps people in turmoil. Emotions, he said, naturally move through the body in about ninety seconds if not held by mental stories. When people label and revisit emotions, they feed them and prolong their suffering. The goal is not to explain or fix emotions but to experience them, breathe, and allow their energy to pass. He reminded listeners that the intellect’s highest use is not control but recognition—seeing when one’s system generates pain and choosing to soften into awareness rather than project blame.

He then read Finley’s reflections on compassion and the shared nature of pain, explaining that peace in the world begins with each person’s willingness to face their own hurt and recognize it in others. Without compassion, he said, there can be no peace. This mirrors the Buddhist practice of Tonglen—breathing in shared suffering and exhaling compassion. Seeing that “your need is the same as my need,” Tim said, opens the heart and begins the change of heart humanity longs for.

As the hour closed, Tim reminded listeners about the evening’s support group through MindShiftersAcademy.org and reflected on how true spiritual work is a “disruptive” act in modern culture. Awakening frees people from consumerism and distraction, turning them inward toward real purpose. He encouraged aligning daily life with one’s “primary and secondary purpose,” ideas developed by Dr. Ryce in his workshop Purpose, Personal Power, and Commitment. He ended, as always, with the affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of the stuff we call Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

November 4, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by dr michael ryce centered on the creative and spiritual collaboration around Jeanie Ryce’s forthcoming book Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time. Jeanie opened by thanking her editor, Susan Bingham, for her deep engagement in the editing process and for helping her refine the book’s voice. She explained that her publisher had encouraged her not to rush the release, even though she had hoped to have it out by Christmas. Dr. Michael Ryce then shared his enthusiasm for Jeanie’s progress and revealed that the foreword he was writing for her—now titled A Deep Breath Before the Journey—had evolved into a powerful preface that he planned also to include in his own revision of Why Is This Happening to Me Again?

As they discussed the editing process, Susan Bingham reflected on how moving Jeanie’s story is, saying that readers will be drawn in by the depth of her experience even before she introduces the forgiveness tools later in the book. Michael then read a draft of his foreword aloud, emphasizing that Jeanie’s book breaks the silence surrounding generational trauma, exposing how fear and false religious teaching have shaped human suffering. He described Healing Generations as a work that “restores clarity, peace, and living as the presence of Love” by revealing tools that show transformation happening in real time. He contrasted Jeanie’s authentic demonstration of inner work with the hollow promises of institutional religion, which for centuries has replaced true spiritual practice with fear-based control.

Susan Bingham gently suggested softening some of Michael’s direct critique of religion to avoid alienating readers. Michael acknowledged her concern but noted that truth is often shocking in a culture built on denial. Another caller offered a middle perspective—affirming that the truth must be told but recommending that it be framed in a way that invites rather than attacks, including all people, even the “blind guides,” in the circle of healing. This led to a heartfelt exchange about the evolution of consciousness and the readiness of humanity to receive difficult truths. Michael agreed that the goal was to open hearts, not condemn, and Jeanie confirmed that her story itself would bring balance, as it shows both suffering and transformation.

Jeanie shared that the first section of her book tells her life story honestly and without embellishment, including painful experiences of childhood abuse and trauma. The middle section adds scientific and psychological insights about how the mind works, and the final section guides readers through practical tools like worksheets and MindShifters. She said writing this book was the first time she had told her full story—even her family never knew much of it—and that putting it into words was part of her own healing process. One caller encouraged her to preface the book by assuring readers that she is now on the other side of her journey, giving them hope before leading them into the darker material. Jeanie replied that she had already begun doing this by retitling her introduction A Life Remembered or Imagined, inspired by a StillPoint Breath session in which she experienced herself as a Native American girl enduring abuse—a possible generational memory surfacing for release.

The conversation deepened as participants recognized the energetic and ancestral layers of Jeanie’s story. Several listeners said they felt her book would become a profound healing tool not just for women but for men as well. Michael recounted a HeartLand workshop where a man publicly confessed to having been an abuser, which led to extraordinary healing for both survivors and perpetrators in the group. This, he said, illustrated that Jeanie’s book will help both genders confront buried trauma. One listener drew on Bert Hellinger’s Family Constellation work, observing that true healing includes the perpetrators in the circle of belonging rather than casting them out. Everyone agreed that Jeanie’s writing, though raw, carries a redemptive energy that invites compassion rather than judgment.

When Jeanie read the draft of her back-cover summary aloud, the group was visibly moved. The statement framed Healing Generations as a journey of courage and truth, emphasizing that self-healing requires revisiting the past without fear in order to reclaim presence and Love. The subtitle, One Breath at a Time, perfectly reflected her process and the message that healing is a gradual undoing made possible by willingness and connection. Participants described the language as hopeful, grounded, and universal.

In the latter half of the show, Jeanie shared that her recent broken foot might have symbolic meaning connected to the book—perhaps representing fear of moving forward or the pain of stepping into visibility. One caller suggested exploring emotional roots from childhood, particularly around ages four to six, when issues of approval, love, and being known take form. The suggestion resonated deeply with Jeanie, who remembered early childhood moments of feeling overshadowed by her brother and linked those feelings to the vulnerability she still faces when revealing her truth publicly. The group encouraged her to continue nurturing the younger parts of herself as she brings the book to completion.

As the hour closed, Michael praised Jeanie’s openness and perseverance, saying that her ability to receive feedback without defensiveness was remarkable. The group shared stories of trust, laughter, and past challenges—including humorous memories from Jeanie and Michael’s early days at HeartLand, when their wedding preparations involved rebuilding a roof just a week before the ceremony. They ended on a note of joy, discussing preorders and plans for the upcoming intensive workshop titled Intuitive Development and Liberation from Carbon-Based Memory.

Michael offered a few final teachings about the physical dimension of healing, explaining that crying while breathing is ideal because tears help release toxicity, but breath is the key that keeps energy moving. He spoke about how the body stores hardened mucus as a byproduct of blocked emotion, illustrating how truth-telling and breathwork literally dissolve physical and energetic congestion. As the group laughed and cried together, Jeanie thanked everyone for their support and Michael invited listeners to continue sharing feedback to help refine the book. He closed with his familiar benediction, “Holding the space in connected breathing, may this be the best year yet of your eternal life.”

He then introduced a reflective essay by author Laura McKowen titled The Ones Who Can’t See You, which explores the lifelong struggle to be seen and understood by those who lack the capacity for emotional vision. Tim read passages describing how McKowen traced her repeated attraction to people—especially men—who mirrored her father’s inability to see her authentic self. Her essay, rich with compassion and clarity, revealed that many people cannot truly see others because they have not yet seen themselves. Her healing came through radical honesty, sobriety, and the realization that chasing validation from the blind only perpetuates suffering. She wrote that the deeper work of life is forgiving oneself for trying to complete an old story, learning to rest in self-acceptance rather than external recognition.

Following the reading, Tim invited callers to share reflections. One listener wondered whether what people truly seek is their own approval rather than others’. Tim agreed, explaining that while the human nervous system develops rapidly in early childhood, its capacity to form a stable sense of self depends on consistent love from parents. When that love is absent before the developmental “window” closes—around age seven or eight—the adult must later learn to cultivate it internally. True healing, he said, means becoming the nurturing presence for oneself that was once missing. The listener compared her own journey to her son’s—seeing in him a natural sense of worth she had long struggled to find. Tim encouraged her to describe her observations more gently, noting that while she may perceive her son as secure, she cannot truly know his inner world. The exchange evolved into an exploration of projection, self-worth, and the “pedestal or pit” dynamic, where people either idealize others or diminish themselves. The caller recognized that she had been building a framework for self-value and could now feel worth emerging from within rather than seeking it outside.

Tim described this awakening as a “journey without distance”—the gradual realization that we have never been separated from Love, only unaware of it. He explained that people continually reanimate past pain through resentment, bitterness, or regret, not realizing that they are the ones pouring life energy into memories that no longer exist. Healing requires withdrawing that energy and resting in presence. When another listener connected this idea back to McKowen’s essay, saying that she too had chased after people who could not see her, Tim agreed that the yearning for recognition becomes self-defeating. He quoted the ancient teaching from Matthew’s Gospel: “Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things shall be added unto you,” explaining through Guy Finley’s Aramaic insight that it does not mean acquiring anything external but allowing cravings and false needs to fall into passive position within consciousness. When people awaken to the truth that unworthiness is an illusion, it no longer matters who sees or doesn’t see them; peace arises naturally.

He referenced Alan Watts’ writing on the loneliness that often accompanies early spiritual growth—how, as one begins to resist unhealthy patterns and establish new boundaries, there can be a temporary feeling of isolation. But eventually, the seeker realizes that all beings share the same essence, and compassion replaces separation. Quoting Michael Singer, Tim reminded listeners that the goal is not to like or dislike what happens but simply to be “okay with whatever is,” acting from the rooted center of one’s being rather than from reactive emotion.

Another caller, Carrie, shared that she had once been trapped in the same pattern of seeking to be seen and heard but had now moved into peace. She said that when conflicts arise, she simply states her truth calmly and steps away, no longer drawn into drama or emotional turmoil. Tim praised her growth, noting that this calm clarity can awaken awareness in others without resistance. Carrie described how she had learned to let go of loneliness and now felt deeply connected to Source and community. She recounted how, years earlier, she had struggled with her mother’s statement, “I never understood you,” until realizing she did not need her mother’s understanding—only to love her. That realization, she said, broke the cycle of striving for approval.

Tim tied Carrie’s insight to Dr. Ryce’s teaching on “power person dynamics” and the commandment “Honor thy father and mother.” He explained that honoring does not mean condoning harmful behavior but choosing to act from Love regardless of the other’s behavior, since doing so heals the one who loves. Quoting A Course in Miracles, he added, “Exclude no one from your love, for if you do, you will hide from yourself the place that most needs healing.” Extending Love even toward those who have harmed us allows the mind to release its final chains.

He closed by encouraging listeners to read McKowen’s books We Are the Luckiest and Push Off from Here, and to seek her writings on Substack for their honest reflections on addiction, healing, and relationships. He also shared Guy Finley’s allegory of a young man who defied the “king” representing conditioning and declared, “I am the new law,” a metaphor for reclaiming the inner authority to direct one’s own mind. The story, Tim explained, is not about controlling others but awakening to free will and aligning thought with Love’s intelligence. A final caller reflected that focusing on process rather than progress had freed her from comparison and self-judgment, allowing her to live from connection rather than striving.

Tim ended with the reminder that this journey is shared and ongoing. Healing comes not from being seen by others but from seeing oneself as Love in action. With gentle humor and gratitude, he concluded, “We come from Love, we are made of the stuff we call Love, we actually are Love, and everything else is false.”

November 5, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce was a rich, experiential exploration of consciousness, healing, and the living presence of Love as breath. Dr. Ryce opened by reflecting on the coming Intuitive Development Intensive and the new alignment that would include Patrick’s Center Point Balancing work, connecting physiology and breath with the animating force of life. He described how, during his morning StillPoint practice, he recognized again that true healing occurs not by focusing on the body but by attuning to the energy that animates it. This shift in focus—from form to force—sets the foundation for the entire upcoming intensive, where StillPoint Breathing and quantum StillPoint practices will deepen participants’ ability to experience Love as a living presence rather than a concept.

As listeners joined the call, the discussion turned to tangible proof of transformation. One participant shared that her latest Personal Code Evaluation revealed a dramatic increase in her “hostility score”—jumping seventeen points to a full 100% on her own effort, without intensive support. Dr. Ryce celebrated her dedication and said such results illustrate how consistent inner work literally changes physiology and perception. They discussed the concept of “critical mass,” noting that as each person aligns with Love in their own physiology, it becomes easier for others to awaken. Now, humanity is increasingly ready to understand and live these truths, and the breakthroughs in the CoDependence groups show how far consciousness has evolved.

Dr. Ryce mentioned that he was revising an old humorous article titled “Outer Space Character Shocked at Humans,” told from the viewpoint of a Pleiadian observer studying humanity’s capacity for denial—especially around alcohol. The story describes this alien’s astonishment that humans possess full knowledge of alcohol’s destructiveness yet continue drinking. Through the device of parody, Ryce exposes how humans use blame to block truth from awareness, damaging their health, relationships, and finances while maintaining the illusion that others are responsible. The goal of his work, and of the upcoming intensive, is to move beyond perception itself—to live from what the ancients called “the Mind of Christ,” a state beyond memory and the distortions of the past.

The conversation became animated as Dr. Ryce shared an insight from a medical conference he attended decades ago, where researchers at the DeChristie Clinic presented findings on aging. Their conclusion—“Time is not toxic; it has no effect on human tissue under any conditions. It is belief in time’s effect that acts as a poison”—had remained with him for forty years. He said this insight, long before quantum physics was widely known, suggests that what ages the body is not time but belief itself. When we forgive and release those internal poisons, vitality renews. Ryce joked that people tell him he looks younger now than he did a decade ago and encouraged listeners to test this for themselves by dissolving every thought that binds them to limitation.

A lively exchange followed when caller Don asked whether gravity itself might have a destructive effect on the body. Dr. Ryce replied that gravity is part of the supportive design of creation—the Garden of Eden’s own structure—and that when the body is clear and aligned, gravity strengthens rather than weakens us. Don agreed that intention shapes experience but suggested that gravity and time seem inescapable to the physical form. The conversation opened into broader reflection: Don expressed belief in reincarnation and said he would prefer future lifetimes to staying in one body indefinitely. Dr. Ryce responded that consciousness might evolve even within a single lifetime if the mind is fully cleansed.

The show then welcomed another caller who shared insights about parallel universes and timeless existence. She proposed that multiple lifetimes might not be linear but parallel expressions of the soul unfolding through different “doors.” She spoke of learning to let go of belief systems and walk by faith, observing that all is well because all is in divine order. Michael affirmed her insight, emphasizing that tension arises only when thought resists what is. The woman humorously compared emotional burdens to compost—reminding everyone that even life’s “BS” can become fertilizer for new growth. She concluded by affirming her commitment to live as Love and heal within the interconnected web of humanity.

Michael said when one’s physiology “sinks into that peace,” it passes all understanding. Together they held space in silence, breathing consciously and affirming that Love is the true substance of existence.

The final portion of the show became a profound group meditation. A caller named Terry asked Dr. Ryce to lead an exercise exploring the creation of feelings. Michael invited everyone to breathe deeply and focus attention on specific emotions—anger, sadness, fear, and finally Love—observing where each was felt in the body. He explained that anger is not a real emotion but an addictive drug generated by the physiology to cover deeper pain. As Terry described feeling anger in his gut, sadness behind his eyes, and fear at the back of his head, Michael guided him to redefine life not as the “picture we see” but as “Love flowing through a cell.” With this new definition, Terry felt immediate relief and connection, recognizing that the work is simply to enhance the flow of Love through his structure.

Dr. Ryce led a Love Exchange exercise, a HeartLand tradition in which participants visualize sending Love to each other by name. One by one, he named each person on the call—inviting everyone to hold them in the presence of Love. As they breathed together, he explained that this conscious joining represents the true Kingdom of Heaven: a community of Love, united beyond time and space.

The session ended with quiet reverence. Dr. Ryce encouraged everyone to extend this shared energy outward—to family, to friends, and even to political leaders—so that blessing, not opposition, becomes the world’s medicine.

Tim then spoke passionately about his recent interview with Suzanne Roberts, author of It’s Deeper Than That: Pathway to a Vibrant, Purposeful, and Liberated Life. He shared that her work mirrors much of what Dr. Ryce teaches—though she never uses the words “God” or “Jesus,” her language of energy, polarity, and connection reflects the same truths. Tim was struck by how Love, when lived as an active presence, transcends labels and doctrines. He drew parallels to Jeanie Ryce’s forthcoming book Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time and Laura McKowen’s We Are the Luckiest, noting that these women express healing through courage, honesty, and deep personal experience rather than theological argument. Each reveals that spiritual awakening begins in vulnerability—by facing our stories rather than denying them.

A listener called to ask whether forgiveness loses power when the teachings aren’t explicitly tied to Jesus. Tim explained that while many find comfort in Yeshua’s words, the essence of his teaching is universal—Love, breath, and forgiveness belong to no religion. He reminded the audience that all great masters have pointed to the same truth: there is one Creator, one breath, one energy of Love that animates all life. Quoting A Course in Miracles and Joseph Benner’s The Impersonal Life, Tim said that idolizing any figure, even a spiritual one, risks creating a “thought disorder,” dividing humanity instead of revealing oneness.

Susan Flueck joined to reflect on how this blending of traditions is a form of peacemaking. She described Roberts’ teacher, Dr. Randolph Stone—the founder of Polarity Therapy—whose work integrated Eastern and Western energy systems long before holistic medicine became mainstream. Tim agreed, saying that Stone’s emphasis on the flow of energy aligns perfectly with Dr. Ryce’s understanding of healing: it’s not the body that holds health, but the uninterrupted movement of Love through it.

Together, Tim and Susan explored the challenge of reverence without hierarchy—honoring sacred truth without placing it above or outside oneself. Tim said that people often mistake reverence for separation, when in fact the holiest experience is the awareness that nothing is separate. He cited A Course in Miracles again, noting that perception built from past pain creates illusion, while forgiveness restores right perception—the ability to see through Love’s eyes rather than judgment. Susan offered that “right perception” might also mean perceiving through the intuitive, right hemisphere of the brain—the heart-mind rather than the analytic mind. Tim agreed and laughed that even though he spends hours talking each day, the true work is beyond words; words are only vehicles pointing to direct experience.

He referenced Amanda Doyle’s statement that emotions move through the body in about ninety seconds if not fed by thought, explaining that we suffer not because of emotion but because we hold it in place with analysis, story, and resistance. Babies, he said, let energy move through naturally—adults can relearn this through breath, presence, and forgiveness. Another caller, Linda, shared her insight from studying the Hebrew meaning of “to know,” which refers to embodied experience rather than intellect. She spoke about learning to honor her husband’s silence and appreciate awareness beyond words. Tim affirmed her realization, connecting it to Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine, saying the “sage mind” represents the higher self aligned with Love, while “saboteurs” are reactive thought patterns. Transformation begins the moment we notice a saboteur; awareness itself is the turning point.

As the hour closed, Tim read from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, describing Love as both the traveler and the path itself—the calling within that leads us home. The longing for God, he said, is not a personal quest but the movement of Love awakening in us. Even two minutes of daily remembrance realigns us with this truth. He ended with his familiar affirmation, a quiet, resonant invitation for all to breathe into the living awareness of Love: “We come from Love, we are made of the stuff we call Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

November 6, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce was a deeply emotional and luminous conversation about healing through innocence, self-respect, and breath. Jeanie opened the show joyfully holding her grandchild, her laughter setting a tone of warmth and safety before welcoming guests from the CoDependence support group. Cammie shared how she had quit smoking effortlessly, not through willpower but through growing self-respect. Dr. Ryce affirmed that when a person truly values themselves, destructive habits dissolve naturally because the mind no longer uses them to escape pain. Healing, he said, is not about forcing change—it’s about remembering the truth of one’s worth.

Cammie then revealed that old memories of childhood abuse had resurfaced, memories her mother once dismissed as dreams. She described how, during StillPoint Breathing, she finally allowed herself to feel the pain fully without judging or analyzing it. The emotions moved through her and disappeared, leaving peace. Dr. Ryce told her she had achieved true forgiveness—not by revisiting the trauma, but by dissolving it in Love. He said her new sense of emotional maturity and calm is what “holy” truly means—functioning as a whole, integrated being.

The group discussed prayer and innocence. Cammie shared how she now prays directly to Rukha d’Koodsha—the Holy Breath—asking to be shown where she holds onto separation rather than asking to be “fixed.” Michael explained that real prayer is not petition but alignment. When we breathe consciously, we let the intelligence of Love do the work. He introduced the phrase “self-innocent” to replace self-blame and dismantle the illusion of “original sin.” Humanity, he said, was never born fallen but whole.

Susan Flueck read from A Course in Miracles Lesson 181: “I trust my brothers who are one with me,” reflecting on how true vision—“inner sense”—comes from perceiving with Love instead of fear. Dr. Ryce expanded on this by explaining that Western culture teaches suppression rather than truth; we trade authenticity for acceptance, and that distortion becomes our “carbon-based memory” of guilt. The breath is what clears it, reconnecting us with our natural innocence.

Susan Bingham shared her own powerful release during StillPoint the night before, when she felt ancestral grief leave her body. She said she had finally stopped analyzing sensations and simply allowed them to flow. As joy began to return, she realized how early conditioning had punished her for being joyful. Ryce encouraged her to breathe through the fear of joy, reminding her that joy is the natural evidence of the awareness of God’s presence.

Cammie then confessed she had carried the burden of making everyone else happy, confusing control with care. Through worksheet work, she discovered she had been both “the burdened and the burden.” The group laughed when Michael playfully rephrased the insight as, “Burdens, burdens—we don’t need no stupid burdens!” Humor, he said, helps release energy faster than struggle.

A listener named Sally called to thank Michael for his earlier broadcast blessing for Donald Trump, saying it had taught her the power of blessing even those she disagrees with. She described walking through Walmart blessing everyone she met and feeling an immediate change in energy. Michael celebrated her realization, referencing The Gentle Art of Blessing and reminding everyone that the only time we cannot bless is when we block Love within ourselves. Blessing, he said, is not approval—it is allowing Love to flow where fear once lived.

He illustrated this through the story of Cain and Abel, explaining that resentment poisons our offering to God. When Cain’s thoughts turned jealous, his sacrifice lost its life-force. The same happens whenever we curse instead of bless: we disconnect from Source. Self-blessing completes the circuit.

In closing, Ryce spoke about the breath as the literal evidence of divine presence. The body, he said, is organized dust—brought to life only by the breath of Love. Breath is God in motion, the living pulse of creation. Longtime participant Dusty shared that after years of breathwork, he can feel the earth “loving him back” through his feet, a moment he called “the living heartbeat of grace.” Quoting Ernest Hemingway, he added, “True nobility is being better than your former self.” Michael smiled and agreed: every conscious breath taken in Love makes us nobler than we were the moment before. He ended, as always, inviting listeners to breathe together in remembrance of what they are: “Love is the very breath of life itself.”

Tim shared insights from Suzanne Roberts’ book It’s Deeper Than That: Pathway to a Vibrant, Purposeful, and Liberated Life, describing how her work reflects Dr. Ryce’s teachings in a different vocabulary. Roberts writes of energy flow, polarity, and wholeness, showing that the life force animating the body is Love itself. Her language of vibration and connection parallels the Aramaic understanding of breath as divine movement. Tim compared her model to the polarity teachings of Dr. Randolph Stone, who described the body as a wireless energy field whose positive and negative poles must both be acknowledged for energy to circulate. Suppressing “negative” emotion, he explained, cuts the circuit and leads to disease.

Susan Bingham joined the discussion, wondering whether Roberts’ polarity concept mirrored the psychological balance of shadow and light. Tim clarified that polarity in this context is not moral but electrical, representing the natural rhythm of flow and return. He referenced Dale Allen Hoffman’s teaching that trying to eliminate the negative pole—pain, grief, or anger—blocks the current that gives life meaning. Healing, he said, happens through embracing both poles with awareness.

The discussion moved toward attraction, projection, and the way perception mirrors unresolved emotion. Tim explained that attraction and repulsion are internal processes, not qualities belonging to others. Using humor, he quoted Howard Stern’s line that “somewhere someone is tired of being with that supermodel,” illustrating how what we value or resent in others is a reflection of what lives within. Susan questioned whether people could truly separate perception from reality, and Tim reminded her that perception is always filtered through one’s own history and emotional resonance. The key, he said, is to observe without judgment.

Drawing from The Way of Mastery, Tim contrasted the intellect with intuitive awareness. The intellect, he said, was never designed to lead consciousness but to serve it. The “nine-bit mind,” as Dr. Ryce calls it, is limited to memory and logic, while the true creative mind arises from presence. Tim shared stories from his clinical years, describing moments when intuition guided him more effectively than analysis, especially in high-risk settings. Each success came from non-thinking awareness—what he called “Spirit in action.”

When Susan left the call, Tim reflected on how Western culture glorifies problem-solving and constant thought. “Be still and know,” he said, is a physiological truth—breath quiets thought and reconnects one to Source. He spoke briefly about StillPoint Breathing, explaining that conscious breath reorganizes the nervous system, releasing tension and restoring flow. Don contributed information on Dr. Randolph Stone and the origin of Polarity Therapy, noting how it influenced modern energy modalities like Quantum Touch. The group discussed the limits of allopathic medicine, which often treats symptoms without addressing energetic or emotional causes. Carrie shared that combining forgiveness work with Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy and family constellations had brought her major breakthroughs.

The conversation turned to the dangers of spiritual ego and the “Messiah Trap,” introduced by Celinda, who warned of rescuing others under the illusion of service. Carrie and Susan admitted having lived in that role, trying to save others rather than heal themselves. Tim observed that genuine Love never controls or fixes; it allows. Healing others begins only when one stops projecting need. He summarized that every experience in relationship is an inner event—peace and conflict both arise from within.

In closing, Tim reminded listeners that energy and awareness are one field—the same Love that animates the cosmos animates every breath. Healing is not about fixing the broken but removing what blocks flow. He ended the show with his signature affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of the stuff we call Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

November 7, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce was a profound and personal discussion of liberation through breath, innocence, and forgiveness. The conversation featured Jeanie, Melissa, Linda, Susan Flueck, and other listeners, all sharing realizations about the release of shame, control, and generational patterns. Melissa began by describing how she had effortlessly released her food addiction after years of struggle. Dr. Ryce affirmed that when inner conflict is healed, compulsive behaviors fall away naturally because the mind no longer needs substitutes for Love. He said that vitality rises as truth is embraced, and what once required discipline becomes spontaneous alignment.

Linda followed by reflecting on her own transformation through repetition—listening to the daily broadcasts and allowing the words to reach beyond intellect. She said she now recognizes her husband’s reactions as mirrors of her own emotions and has learned to communicate without hostility. Ryce praised her for standing in awareness rather than in old power-person dynamics. Together they laughed at how awareness itself dissolves conflict once the habit is seen.

The dialogue deepened when Susan Flueck spoke about recent breathwork that opened suppressed sexual energy. She described sensations moving through her body that pre-dated language, along with discomfort and relief. Dr. Ryce explained that Western religious systems had distorted sexuality for control, turning one of creation’s greatest gifts into a source of guilt. Celibacy, he said, originally referred not to abstinence but to church property laws, later misused to enforce repression. When natural energy is blocked, joy and vitality collapse. Healing comes through conscious breathing that restores the original flow of divine energy.

Susan described learning to stay with physical sensations instead of fleeing them. Ryce reminded her that breath unwinds the tissue memory where trauma is stored. Discomfort is the doorway to renewal. Susan wept as she realized that joy itself had once been punished in childhood, and he told her that joy is the evidence of God’s presence. Cammie added that she had carried responsibility for everyone’s happiness and had only recently recognized the burden. Together they laughed when Ryce joked, “Burdens—we don’t need no stupid burdens,” showing how humor lightens healing.

Sally then shared her awakening to the ways she had over-identified with masculine traits to gain her father’s approval. She described decades of tension, surgeries, and self-denial resulting from rejecting her feminine energy. Other women related deeply, acknowledging the generational trauma of suppression. Susan echoed that she, too, had armored herself in masculine energy while working in industrial settings. Through breathwork, she was reclaiming softness and safety in her body. Michael and Jeanie reassured her that in a community built on Love, feminine innocence is always safe.

As Susan breathed through waves of fear, Michael guided her to feel the energy move. He explained that releasing at the genetic level heals ancestral imprints that have perpetuated fear across centuries. When Love fills those cellular spaces, perception expands and safety replaces defense. He described this as divine restoration—the return to natural wholeness.

Jeanie joined briefly to share that her injured foot was healing, and the group shared laughter about forming a “broken foot club.” After the intensity of the earlier sharing, the humor brought balance and joy. Dr. Ryce closed the session by leading a brief breathing meditation, reminding listeners that the breath itself is the living evidence of the Creator’s presence. The body, he said, is dust animated by the divine breath—when we breathe consciously, we realign with that Presence. He encouraged everyone to step out of analysis and let the breath quiet the mind so the heart can lead. He ended with gratitude for the healing community that continues to live these teachings together.

Tim shared from Suzanne Roberts’ book It’s Deeper Than That: Pathway to a Vibrant, Purposeful, and Liberated Life, saying her polarity-based approach mirrors the same principles Dr. Ryce teaches about energy, breath, and Love. Reading from Chapter Twelve, “Stillness Versus Sedation,” he highlighted her insight that true stillness connects one to the “treasure house of the soul,” while sedation only mimics peace by avoiding discomfort. Quoting Rumi—“The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand”—Roberts distinguishes genuine stillness, which deepens connection to life, from numbing behaviors that disconnect people from feeling. Tim commented that modern society promotes sedation through overwork, food, and media, encouraging distraction instead of awareness. The challenge, he said, is to sit quietly long enough to feel emotion without running from it.

Continuing the passage, Tim read that within the human system, the soul is the positive pole, the body the negative, and the mind the neutral bridge. When the mind loses neutrality through judgment or fear, it blocks energy flow and creates imbalance. Roberts compared this to the role of cerebrospinal fluid as a conductor of life’s current through the nervous system. Tim said her description closely parallels the StillPoint Breathing process, where breath reopens the flow of Love through the body. Roberts wrote that sedation—whether through eating, alcohol, drugs, or constant activity—creates emptiness because it stops the movement of life. Stillness, in contrast, allows emotion to rise and dissolve naturally. She recounted a childhood trauma triggered by a dental procedure, explaining how she consciously chose temporary numbness for safety, then later released the emotions through tears and compassion. Tim said this mirrors Dr. Ryce’s distinction between denial and dissociation: one may consciously step back without abandoning awareness, while denial disconnects entirely. Healing requires presence, not suppression.

Listeners joined to discuss these ideas. Susan Bingham asked whether Roberts’ “numbing” resembled the dissociation Jeanie Ryce describes in Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time. Tim agreed, explaining that trauma often drives people to leave the body mentally, but breath and awareness invite safe re-entry. He praised Jeanie’s technique of speaking her current age when memories surface, helping the nervous system recognize the present moment. Susan noted that Roberts’ polarity work also teaches grounding and sensing the body’s internal pulse as a path to safety. Sally commented on the similarity between Roberts’ language and that of The Way of Mastery, where “desire” is the creative movement of God within.

Tim added that Byron Katie’s inquiry process functions similarly—bringing unconscious stories into light so they lose control. He and Susan admired how Roberts bridges spirituality and science, combining polarity therapy with physics and chemistry to demonstrate how consciousness shapes energy. The discussion turned to The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton. Tim summarized Lipton’s research showing that consciousness directs cellular behavior more than DNA does. He explained that cells operate in either growth or defense mode depending on the energetic signals they receive. Fear contracts; Love expands. Stillness, he said, restores the body’s coherence by removing the interference caused by fear and resistance.

Susan brought up Jeanie’s story of her son Ryan sensing the spirit of his twin sister who died before birth. Tim called it a touching example of intuitive connection but said that, strictly speaking, it falls outside scientific epigenetics. The conversation highlighted how these different lenses—science, energy work, forgiveness, and Aramaic spirituality—all describe one reality: the movement of Love through creation.

Tim closed the hour by weaving these insights together. Stillness is not withdrawal, he said, but openness to divine movement. Sedation dulls the mind; stillness awakens it. The practices taught through Dr. Ryce’s work, Suzanne Roberts’ polarity model, and the research of Bruce Lipton all point to the same truth—that awareness, when aligned with Love, reorganizes matter. Healing is not about control but surrender. Every time things don’t go the way you think they should, they always work out better than you could have imagined.

November 10, 2025 2nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce was a heartfelt and personal conversation focused on healing through awareness, self-responsibility, and Love. Jeanie and Susan joined Michael to talk about Jeanie’s book Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time, which Susan described as deeply moving, honest, and transformative. She shared how editing it felt like witnessing healing on the page, a story both raw and redemptive. Jeanie laughed that her excitement often carried her into tangents, but she felt grateful for the process.

Jeanie spoke about realizing she had unconsciously repeated her family’s pattern of running away from pain, leaving home at sixteen as her mother and grandmother had done in their own ways. What she once thought was independence was actually an inherited survival strategy. Michael commented that bringing these patterns into awareness is how real freedom begins. When Jeanie added that writing about them brought clarity and peace, Michael said the book itself was part of her healing journey.

The conversation turned toward Jeanie and Michael’s relationship and how their work evolved together. Jeanie recalled giving up antidepressants shortly after meeting Michael and feeling a profound shift once she began applying the forgiveness tools herself. Michael remembered their early phone conversations that led to meeting in person at one of his workshops in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He said that their partnership grew through shared practice, not theory, and that Jeanie’s courage to face her pain became an inspiration to many. When she later started her own support group using the forgiveness worksheets, Michael told listeners that the surest way to master the tools is to teach them. “If you want it to become your own, pass it on,” he said, emphasizing that everyone has the same access to the Creator’s breath and wisdom—it only requires willingness to apply it.

He reminded the group that Yeshua never claimed to be perfect but was a model of alignment with Love. Perfection, Ryce said, isn’t about flawlessness but consistency in choosing Love over fear. He encouraged everyone to stop looking for external saviors and instead take responsibility for their own healing through conscious breathing and forgiveness. Discussion shifted to the upcoming Quantum StillPoint Intensive at HeartLand. Michael shared his excitement that several women were already traveling there, saying the retreat center was ready to welcome whoever felt called. He described it as a sacred space for transformation and humorously added that it was time to “open up the house and get ready to rock and roll.” Sally joined, saying she was packing and preparing emotionally, determined to trust the process even without knowing what to expect. Her faith, she said, was her guide—trusting that everything for her highest good would unfold.

When the topic of sugar addiction arose, Sally admitted to having struggled with sweets most of her life, tracing it back to childhood when her mother rewarded her with candy for being the good girl. Michael explained that sugar cravings often mask grief. When unresolved sadness is acknowledged, the body stops seeking substitutes for comfort. When you let the grief move, the pancreas begins to function properly again. Sally asked whether grief was just part of human empathy. Michael clarified that grief is not compassion—it is pain produced by unhealed perception. When it clears, compassion remains without suffering.

Carrie joined to share how she had believed that losing her anger would make her less creative, but releasing it actually expanded her expression. Michael agreed that pain never fuels true creativity—it only distorts it. Susan added that even her hip pain had become a teacher, showing her where her body held emotional tension. Michael suggested she stop labeling it as “pain” and instead call it “energy.” By breathing into the sensation, he said, she could let it reveal what it carried. “Mind energy becomes flesh,” he reminded the group, explaining that perception literally shapes the chemistry of the body and that embracing rather than resisting sensation transforms it.

Andria then spoke up to thank the Ryces and the community, saying she felt safe and seen in a group where people live accountability and Love in balance. She described the partnership between Michael and Jeanie as a model of divine masculine and feminine working together to restore integrity to relationship. Melissa added that listening to the show had profoundly changed her life and that she felt connected to the global circle of listeners who breathe these principles into the world. Michael closed the hour by expressing gratitude for every person doing this work, saying each act of forgiveness contributes to the collective healing of humanity. He reminded everyone that each breath is an opportunity to choose Love over fear, to create anew, and to live consciously in harmony with the Creator’s presence.

Tim then shared an audio message sent by Susan Bingham, featuring Alan Watts discussing lust and spirituality. The talk inspired a deep exploration of how spiritual awakening intensifies human sensitivity rather than dulling it. Tim explained that, according to Watts, as one becomes more conscious, every sensation—joy, sorrow, beauty, and even desire—becomes more vivid. This heightened awareness can create inner conflict when individuals believe spirituality means repressing the body. Instead, Watts suggested, the challenge is to be with one’s feelings without being ruled by them. Tim connected this to teachings from The Way of Mastery, emphasizing that awareness of energy—like desire—should not lead to impulsive action. The goal is presence, not suppression or indulgence.

As Tim read and reflected, he drew parallels between Watts’s words and Dr. Ryce’s concept of the “carbon-based memory” and “nine-bit mind,” explaining how unconscious mental programming can distort perception and generate guilt around natural human impulses. He also compared Watts’s view of “forces that keep humanity asleep” to Ryce’s explanation of cultural and generational conditioning—energetic patterns that shape behavior until healed through conscious forgiveness. Tim noted that our economic and social structures thrive on dissatisfaction and desire, making it difficult for people to rest in contentment.

Continuing with the reading, Tim outlined Watts’s point that loneliness often fuels lust. As spiritual awareness grows, individuals may feel isolated because they perceive life differently from those around them. In that loneliness, desire becomes a counterfeit bridge—an attempt to soothe wounds of abandonment or separation. Lust, Watts wrote, can temporarily mask pain but deepens it afterward by adding shame and disconnection. Healing requires courage to sit with pain rather than flee from it. Tim likened this to Guy Finley’s story about facing one’s “not yets,” the unhealed parts of the self that emit “black ooze” until they are accepted and transformed. Only through presence, not avoidance, can awareness become the “I Am.”

Watts’s essay also warned that spiritual sensitivity amplifies vulnerability. The higher one’s awareness, the stronger the pull of instinctual drives seeking balance. Tim highlighted this as a reason why many spiritual teachers have fallen into scandals—not necessarily from hypocrisy, but from neglecting their physical and emotional needs while focusing solely on the spiritual. True discipline, Watts argued, is not repression but care for the whole being—feeding the body, allowing creative expression, and seeking healthy connection so that desire loses its distorted power.

Tim emphasized that lust becomes destructive only when it replaces awareness or is hidden in secrecy. Healing, he said, comes from openness, community, and self-honesty. Quoting Watts, he repeated the essential line: “The question is not how to stop feeling—it’s how to be with what you feel without being controlled by it.” That, Tim said, is the key to transformation.

Near the end of the show, caller Sally reflected on the topic through Elizabeth Gilbert’s experience in Eat, Pray, Love, where after years of sobriety she resisted a sudden temptation through awareness and self-discipline. Sally shared concern about addiction relapse, recounting her grandson’s loss of a sponsor to overdose, and said the story reminded her that healing requires continual vigilance. Tim agreed and warned against excusing manipulative or predatory behavior under the guise of spirituality. He spoke about the dangers of power imbalance between teachers and students, noting how misuse of energy—sexual, emotional, or spiritual—can harm both parties.

Before closing, Tim mentioned his newly released On Your Mind Podcast interview with Roman Wyden and upcoming collaborative events with author Suzanne Roberts involving experiential energy workshops. As no further callers joined, he ended early, thanking the audience for engaging in such a challenging and vital conversation. He reiterated that sensuality and spirituality are not opposites but can coexist in awareness. The true task, he said, is to remain awake to the full range of human experience without judgment, to use desire as a teacher rather than a tyrant.

November 11, 2025 2^nd hour was hosted by Jeanie Ryce while Dr. Michael Ryce was at the airport welcoming guests for the upcoming Quantum StillPoint and nine-day intensive retreat. Jeanie opened by honoring Veterans Day, explaining its origin as Armistice Day marking the 1918 end of World War I, renamed in 1954 to honor all who served. She expressed gratitude for veterans and their families, then greeted listeners including Susan Bingham, Sally, Kerry, and others. Excitement filled the call as Jeanie described participants from western Canada traveling more than a day to reach Tennessee for the retreat.

She outlined the schedule, explaining that the first three days would focus on Quantum StillPoint Breathing before moving to a larger Catholic retreat center for the full intensive. Michael had already stocked their historic Airbnb home—built in the 1800s—with food, supplies, and massage tables. Jeanie laughed that something dramatic always seems to happen before an intensive, like her earlier surgery or her recent foot injury, joking that it might be divine timing or a sign to “stay out of the kitchen.” The group laughed as she described the teamwork that makes each event flow, from cooking to emotional support.

The conversation turned to the purpose of the work itself. Jeanie shared one of her favorite exercises from Michael’s Intuitive Development workshop—asking repeatedly, “Who are you?” and “Why are you here?” until the answers drop beneath identity into essence. She said the process led her to rewrite her personal mission. Her first version focused only on supporting Michael and teaching, but she realized she had left out her greatest passion—family. Her new purpose included creating safe spaces of Love for family and friends, writing to offer hope, teaching truth, and living consciously connected to God. It brought peace when she and Michael returned home to care for her father during his final illness. She described his passing as sacred, recalling how he sat up, looked upward, took a final breath, and gently left his body. “I saw him leave,” she said softly.

Kerry then asked about physical immortality, recalling teachings that claimed humans could live indefinitely. Jeanie said that while Michael could explain the principle better, she believes eternal life is real when one lives in Love and awareness, not through control or fear. Kerry expanded, referencing Dolores Cannon’s idea that all experiences exist in the eternal now, calling them “fractals of self.” Jeanie agreed that staying present is key, sharing how during her son Ryan’s illness she exhausted herself with worry about “what ifs” that never happened, later realizing how much peace is lost through imagined futures.

When Michael joined the call, he explained that the natural design of life is eternal, not mortal, and that even the word “immortal” implies death because “I’m mortal” is built into it. He encouraged replacing it with “eternal,” saying language itself directs energy and belief. Humanity, he said, created death through misperception and can reverse that through forgiveness, which restores awareness of eternal life. He reminded everyone that words are vibrational tools that either align with or block Love. Kerry agreed she now pays more attention to words and how they shape thought and emotion.

The group discussed the purpose of past-life imagery. Michael explained that such visions are often symbolic expressions of unconscious content surfacing for healing. Whether literal or metaphorical, their value lies in applying forgiveness to the feelings they evoke in the present. He said the unconscious uses dreams and memories to bring hidden energy to awareness, and healing always happens now. Susan and Kerry reflected that preoccupation with past or future can be a subtle form of avoidance. Brian joined to share a childhood out-of-body experience that revealed scenes from another lifetime, saying it convinced him that consciousness continues beyond the body. Michael acknowledged that experiences like that can be genuine or symbolic but are meaningful only if they deepen Love and awareness.

As the hour closed, Jeanie expressed gratitude for the community that gathers around this work. She said each person contributes to a web of shared healing that extends across distance through breath and intention. The group laughed about travel plans, and Jeanie promised big hugs for everyone arriving at the retreat. Michael thanked listeners for their commitment and reminded them that Love, expressed through breath, is the living evidence of eternity.

Tim continued a discussion from the previous day about self-discipline, desire, and awareness, explaining that while people often feel compelled to act on every urge, the practice of will allows for observation without impulsive reaction. Dr. Ryce’s teachings, he said, emphasize that will is the faculty enabling humans to choose which inner impulses to honor. By slowing down the reactive process and cultivating a moment of awareness between stimulus and response, one can live deliberately rather than reflexively. This practice transforms life from repetition of the past into creation in the present.

He observed that spiritual growth often brings isolation, since few people are willing to face discomfort or take full responsibility for their own minds. As one grows more sensitive to energy and truth, casual conversation and gossip become intolerable. The path of awakening, Tim said, can be lonely, especially for those who crave connection and touch. Many people try to escape that discomfort through distractions—busyness, anger, and particularly lust. He noted that lust provides temporary relief but ultimately deepens pain and separation. Real healing requires being present with urges without judgment or repression.

Tim transitioned into reading from The Book of One: One Love, One Life, One Journey by Guy Finley and Dr. Ellen Dickstein. The passages explored “higher Love” as a divine energy that transcends personal attachment. Finley described Love not as something to possess but as the essence that unites all creation. Quoting scripture and great teachers including Kierkegaard, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Buddha, he emphasized that Love dissolves hatred and awakens the heart to unity with life itself. Tim linked this to Dr. Ryce’s description of “total, perfect, conscious, active, present Love”—which he abbreviated as TOPCAP. He noted that we can never actually lose Love; we only lose awareness of it. The task, therefore, is to awaken to Love’s ever-present reality.

Tim reflected that the more people try to possess love, the more separation they feel. True fulfillment comes from surrendering the self that strives for love, allowing divine Love to reveal itself. Reading from Finley, he added that humanity’s purpose is to learn this higher Love, first through relationships, then through awakening to the unchanging source that sustains them. Love, he said, is the creative substance of the universe—the “fire” that transforms all things when consciously harnessed.

He continued with Finley’s *Five Life-Changing Insights to Unconditional Love*: love unites rather than divides; the more we love, the more capable of love we become; true love expresses a higher Love; love elevates everyone; and experiencing love fulfills divine purpose. Quoting saints and mystics from many traditions, he reinforced that real love sees no separation between self and others. The path to living as Love, Tim said, is not about perfection but about awareness, gratitude, and a willingness to be present.

Drawing from both Finley and physicist Fritjof Capra, Tim described life as a “web of relationships between parts of a united whole.” He reminded listeners that everything in existence is relationship, and relationship itself is the Self. Each person continually shapes and is shaped by those relationships through thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Unawareness of this interconnection creates conflict; awareness restores peace. Every encounter, he said, is an opportunity to heal what blocks our awareness of Love.

Tim concluded by discussing the misuse of secrecy and the destructive power of repression, referencing author Suzanne Roberts, who described her trauma and recovery in It’s Deeper Than That. He used her story to illustrate how hidden pain perpetuates abuse until it is brought into the light of awareness. He encouraged listeners to release secrecy and practice self-honesty as essential parts of healing. The hour closed with Tim offering a mind shifter to a listener who asked for guidance on being more consciously aware of Love: “It is safe and healing for me and all my relationships to have my primary thought in each moment be my true nature as Love.” When the listener responded that she felt unworthy, Tim reassured her that worthiness is inherent. He ended with his familiar reminder: when things don’t go as planned, they always work out better than imagined.

November 12, 2025 2nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce took place during the first days of the Quantum StillPoint Intensive in Tennessee, with participants Andrea, Susan, Anita, and Kerry sharing powerful early experiences of the process. The atmosphere was joyful and reverent as everyone gathered after their morning breathing sessions to reflect on the meaning of StillPoint and the integration of breath, meditation, and embodiment as pathways to healing.

Susan began by describing her morning revelation from A Course in Miracles: “The name of God is my inheritance.” She said the words came alive during her StillPoint session, allowing her to experience what she called the “Love of Rukha d’Koodsha” aligning her physiology with her true identity. She expressed deep gratitude for the process and for Michael’s grounded masculine presence, saying it helped her feel safe enough to surrender into Love’s flow. Andrea then shared how her own meditative practice had, years earlier, brought her into what she now recognized as the StillPoint state. She explained that during group meditation, she began accessing extraordinary states of consciousness, seeing rivers of green light and experiencing vibrations so high she thought she might ascend out of her body.

Michael gently suggested that rather than leaving her body, she had been coming into it more fully for the first time—incarnating, not escaping. He explained that most people live on the periphery of embodiment because of unresolved trauma in their carbon-based memory and that deep breathwork clears the generational residue keeping the soul from fully inhabiting the physical form. Andrea reflected that when her daughter told her, “You’re here, but you’re not here,” she realized she needed to ground her spirituality to be more present for her family.

Kerry recalled that her own StillPoint experience months earlier had first felt like leaving her body, but she realized it was actually more of me coming in. She described waves of energy and a new tenderness that remained long after, allowing her to feel daily life as an outpouring of Love rather than effort. Michael agreed that this is the essence of incarnation: the full awakening of Spirit within the body, not escape from it. Jeanie read from her forthcoming book Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time, sharing a passage about receiving divine instruction to expand in five measures—awareness, trust, will, safety, and incarnation. She read how each measure represented a layer of her healing, from remembering lost innocence to trusting God, choosing will over willpower, feeling safe again, and finally reentering her body to live fully as Love.

Susan reflected that she too was experiencing a rebirth, describing her heart as “a rose unfurling.” She said that she had once worn an armor of guardedness built from childhood trauma and distrust of the masculine, but through StillPoint she felt that armor melting. She was learning to trust divine balance again and to see herself as inherently radiant rather than broken. Michael affirmed that the upcoming sessions would continue dismantling the“power-person dynamic and reveal the truth of both the masculine and feminine through direct experience of Love.

As conversation deepened, Michael spoke about the physics of StillPoint, describing how during the moment when the breath stops naturally, the body enters a superconductive state with no resistance—“no Satan,” he explained, referencing the Aramaic term for “resister.” In this state, energy moves freely through the tissue, releasing memory from every cell. He said this is why the veil between the conscious and unconscious mind “is rent in twain” through breath: the barrier dissolves, and the superconscious can reprogram the body directly.

Kerry, herself a breathwork facilitator, related these concepts to her own yoga and bodywork teaching, saying that people often fear stillness because it forces them to feel blocked energy. She noted that modern culture encourages constant distraction through media, noise, and consumption, preventing people from hearing the intelligence of their own breath. Andrea added that trauma healing requires titration—gradual regulation of the nervous system through practices like yoga, movement, and stillness according to one’s readiness. She compared her experience in meditation to sensory deprivation float tanks, where deep silence allows the superprocessor of consciousness to activate.

Michael tied their insights together, saying that breathing is the literal forgiveness of “sins”—an Aramaic term meaning “off the mark.” When breath enters the parts of the body holding distorted or foreign energy, it unwinds and removes them, restoring harmony. “We’re not designed for sin,” he said. “We’re designed for Love.” He explained that true healing replaces the energy of resistance with the animating breath of Rukha, allowing each person to incarnate more completely as Love embodied.

Tim mentioned the Thursday support group and then thanked Susan Bingham for sharing a link to an Alan Watts talk about spirituality and addiction. He also shared a note from Kate, who works with author Guy Finley, describing the major transitions in Finley’s organization after relocating across the country. Tim then returned to reading from Finley’s new early-release book One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the chapter “The Triumph of Light.” Through Finley’s reflections, Tim discussed how darkness only appears to dominate because of the absence of Light, and that every act aligned with Love illuminates the world and dissolves destructive energy. He highlighted Finley’s reminder that doing what is right is not the same as falling into hatred or resentment, which are spiritually corrosive even when aimed at injustice.

Tim continued reading about the error of believing that freedom depends on controlling others. Finley emphasized that as long as a person is disturbed by someone else’s behavior, they remain a prisoner of their own reactions. Tim connected this with a talk he once gave at a Unity church about the impossibility of personal freedom when one believes outside forces create inner emotional states. Compassion arises naturally, Tim explained, when a person realizes they often commit the same acts they condemn in others. Finley’s work led into a discussion of invisible justice, which Tim described as the natural balancing principle built into life itself. He read passages explaining that those who act destructively are already punished by the inner state that drives their actions. The need for personal revenge dissolves when one understands that every harmful act generates its own correction.

Tim highlighted Finley’s insistence that blame, shame, and guilt never solve any problem but instead perpetuate cycles of victimhood. He reflected on how often people try to “fix” others, not realizing that life itself brings consequences in the right time and measure. He quoted thinkers such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Lao Tzu to reinforce the principle that only Love can replace fear and only stillness can bring clarity. Tim explained that stillness is the doorway to rebirth because it reveals which inner reactions are true and which are distortions created by past pain.

As he read further, Tim turned to Finley’s discussion of happiness and life purpose. He emphasized wisdom as the foundation of lasting joy and shared quotes from the Old Testament, Seneca, Origen, Montaigne, and Thoreau. These teachings point toward humility, compassion, and clarity as essential qualities of genuine happiness. Tim observed that wisdom grows from self-awareness and honest recognition of one’s own patterns. When people stop running from discomfort and instead observe their reactions, they awaken to freedom.

Listener Sally then joined the conversation, describing a dilemma about whether to share the Alan Watts talk with her son, who struggles with addiction. She worried it might be interpreted as permission to continue using. Tim reassured her that she is not responsible for her son’s choices and that avoiding sharing something out of fear reflects codependent thinking. He encouraged her to make the decision from clarity rather than fear. Sally then shared a reflection about physical closeness and emotional triggers, relating it to her grandson’s wrestling lesson about getting close to gain advantage. She also recalled her hospice volunteering, saying that touching patients removed fear and created connection.

Tim responded by guiding her to examine the motivation behind seeking closeness. The problem, he said, is never the closeness itself but whether it is used as a distraction, a drug, or a way to avoid feelings. He encouraged Sally to explore her motivations with worksheets or tapping. Sally spoke about her affection for a young woman living with her family and said the interaction did not trigger addictive patterns, which felt new and healthy to her. Tim affirmed that nothing is missing; rather, she is experiencing connection without the old overlays of compulsion or defense. He encouraged her to continue observing the subtle tensions that arise and to appreciate the healthy forms of connection developing in her life.

Tim closed the hour with his usual reminder that everyone comes from Love, is made of Love, and is Love, and that everything else is false. He encouraged listeners to remember that whenever life doesn’t go as planned, it often turns out better than expected.

November 13, 2025 2^nd hour captured a lively and intimate conversation between Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and several participants from the Quantum StillPoint Intensive in Tennessee. The call opened with Jeanie welcoming listeners while Michael was still finishing a session with one of the attendees. She described the bustling energy at Jubilee House as participants prepared meals, shared responsibilities, and settled into the rhythm of the retreat. Cammie called in while driving to the intensive, reflecting on how the HeartLand food program had transformed her vitality. She said she had followed the plant-based plan faithfully since the last intensive and immediately felt sluggish or imbalanced when she deviated. She described the program not as a diet but a lifestyle, emphasizing balance, simplicity, and sustainability, unlike rigid raw diets she had attempted in the past.

When Michael joined the call, Jeanie introduced a question from Susan Bingham, who is editing Jeanie’s upcoming book and had reached a section on the Power Person dynamic. Susan’s question explored whether a peaceful household prevents the development of power-person behavior in children. Michael clarified that the environment’s peace does not determine whether the dynamic forms—the key factor is stress inside the child’s mind. He explained that the Power Person dynamic arises when three conditions occur: the parent or authority has more power than the child, the parent is not functioning from Love but from hostility or fear, and the child experiences the situation as survival-based. Under these conditions, the child’s energy field opens “like a sponge,” absorbing the surrounding energies—spoken or unspoken—and forming unconscious behavior patterns that repeat throughout life.

Michael emphasized that these learned behaviors become automatic. When stress is low, people function in their “normal personality,” acting as they did to please their power person. As stress rises, they shift into the behaviors they used to resist their power person. Under extreme stress, they unconsciously replicate the very behaviors of that power person—the ones they most hated. He illustrated this with a story about a man who grew up being beaten by his father and later bragged that he never hit his own son, though he admitted he still had to control the impulse daily. Without forgiveness to collapse the unconscious dynamics, Michael said, the same patterns persist internally, even if restrained outwardly.

The conversation turned to the unconscious inheritance of family patterns. Michael explained that even in loving homes, children absorb subtle energies of fear or hostility present in the environment, carrying those imprints genetically and emotionally. He quoted Carl Jung’s insight that “until the unconscious becomes conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate,” and connected it to Yeshua’s Aramaic teaching, “Take care of the heart, for out of it are the issues in life.” He said this dynamic shows how unconscious patterns—not external circumstances—govern behavior until they are forgiven and released from cellular memory.

Later, the group shifted to a deeper dialogue about incarnation and divine identity. Linda asked whether some people might never have felt divine connection, even in the womb. Michael responded that while body-mind trauma can be severe, the true Self—Love—is never lost, only obscured. He said the body-mind unit carries generational distortions, but the being within each person is eternal and pure. The StillPoint process, he explained, allows that Love to incarnate fully through the breath, restoring awareness of one’s true nature. The denial of breath, he said, is the denial of life, and reclaiming the breath restores connection with Rukha d’Koodsha, the Holy Spirit or Breath of Life.

The discussion grew profound as Susan, Linda, and Ryan reflected on family trauma, adoption, and the lifelong search for “home.” Michael quoted the Beatitudes from their original Aramaic form, explaining that the first Beatitude calls people to have their home “in Rukha”—the breath—rather than in the carbon-based memory of ancestral pain. Living in the breath, he said, is heaven; living in memory is hell. Jeanie and Susan agreed, noting how healing through breath weakens the frequencies of stored pain and allows Love to reinhabit the body. Michael compared this awakening to transcending hypnosis: ending the trance of identification with the past.

As the call ended, Susan shared feeling physically connected to the breathwork being done by others at the retreat, as though their healing resonated through her own body. Michael affirmed this, quoting A Course in Miracles: “When you are healed, you are never healed alone.” He encouraged her to continue “breathing love into every cell,” assuring that the body heals when Love is delivered through the breath. The group laughed warmly as they said goodbye, and Michael closed with his familiar blessing: “We come from Love, we are made of the stuff we call Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

Tim reads extensively from Finley’s chapters on humanity’s deepest need: forming a conscious connection with higher intelligence. He parallels this with Michael Ryce’s teaching that every person’s primary purpose is to build a viable conscious spiritual body. Finley emphasizes that seeking fulfillment through possessions, relationships, status, or comfort never resolves inner emptiness; only connection with the creative force satisfies. Tim expands through reflections on sacred texts, Dr. Maurice Nicoll, Chief Dan George, and Yogananda, showing that love and conscious inner growth have been the timeless core of spiritual traditions. He highlights Finley’s section on life as a grinding stone that polishes the soul, citing Viktor Frankl’s experience in Nazi concentration camps, where Frankl discovered that while external forces could harm his body, they could not take his freedom to choose love, compassion, or meaning. Tim adds examples such as Nelson Mandela and “Wild Bill” from The Gentle Art of Blessing to show that profound inner freedom arises in the harshest conditions.

The reading continues into Finley’s exploration of the “optical delusion” of separation, quoting Albert Einstein and noting its parallels with Ryce’s teaching that the sense of separateness is a perceptual construct. Finley warns that conflict between individuals and nations arises from defending imagined identities and mental kingdoms created by thought. He details seven kinds of “useless thinking” that trap people—ruminating about the future, replaying past insults, worrying about possessions, aging, illness, or how others behave. Tim and callers explore how recognizing these traps and disengaging from them leads to peace, wholeness, and openness to the divine. Caller Celinda thanks Tim for the reading, noting that each of the seven traps resonated strongly. Caller Susan shares her recent realization that being connected to each other automatically means being connected to God, and that worksheets and enlightened goals help remove the inner “dust” that hides that oneness. Tim affirms that nothing new is created in those moments; rather, awareness returns to what has always been true.

The final portion of the hour shifts to Susan’s reflections on visiting a bustling farmers’ market, where the openness, kindness, humor, and earthy presence of Amish vendors created a sense of connection that dissolved inner barriers. She and Tim discuss introversion, the energetic intensity of crowds, and how experience changes when one observes rather than judges. Some people thrive in bustling environments, others prefer quiet, and both are valid when experienced without condemnation. As the hour closes, Sally joins briefly, and Tim ends with his familiar reminder: we come from Love, we are made of Love, we actually are Love, and anything unlike Love is false. He adds his recent realization that every time life fails to go “as he thinks it should,” it ends up working out far better than expected.

Intuitive Development Intensive begins

November 14, 2025 2nd hour, Jeanie explains that she is playing a pre-recorded segment (from February 16, 2022) because she and Michael Ryce are pulling things together for the intensive that begins that night, with additional pre-recorded shows lined up for the coming week.

Michael dives into a detailed explanation of how first-century Aramaic forgiveness actually works. He recalls spending more than 35 years teaching the how-to of forgiveness without really understanding why it worked, and notes that the instructions can sound ridiculous to someone new. Yet, if people simply do the process, their lives change—the worksheet tools being both powerful and teachable.

Michael starts by dismantling the assumption that we directly see, hear, smell, or taste the world. The brain constructs a smell-image based on incoming stimulation. Likewise, we see with the brain, not the eyes; hear with the brain, not the ears; taste with the brain, not the tongue. Our entire world is a perceptual construction generated from brain content—particularly from unresolved trauma, hostility, and fear. When we hold a goal toward someone or something, the mind builds its picture of that person or event out of our own corrupt data out of our pain. That means we are in an indirect relationship with our pain, projecting it onto a mental image “out there,” instead of being in direct relationship with what hurts inside.

He then walks through the core mechanics of the Wake-up sheet. We first identify the goal that is driving our perception, reconnect consciously with Love, and then, in step 5A, cancel the goal. Canceling the goal collapses the perceptual construct that says this other person is the problem, clearing space in the conscious mind. Into that clean space, dissociated content from the unconscious can now surface. Because we have already reconnected with active, present Love before canceling, whatever arises that is less than Love begins to dissolve in that Presence. This is the real meaning of forgiveness in Aramaic—“to remove”—not pardoning behavior but literally dissolving the energetic content that never belonged in us.

He then outlines the next step: recognizing that there is a power in us beyond our nine-bit conscious mind—what Aramaic calls Rukha d’Koodsha, “she who undoes the effects of your errors and teaches you the truth.” This super-processor is the breath of the Creator, capable of reaching through generations of adaptation and trauma that no amount of conscious effort could ever touch. In the worksheet, after canceling the goal, we deliberately invite this higher power into activity to handle what we cannot.

Caller Doug shares that he has been struggling with inflammatory long COVID symptoms and deep upset around a relationship he does not want to see end. Michael immediately asks whether he has been using the Avacen device, noting that reports from people using Avacen with COVID suggest it can repair microcirculation and eradicate long COVID symptomology, and he encourages Doug to use it as intensely as possible. Michael then offers a deeper frame: he and Jeanie both experienced COVID as a profound health upgrade. In his view, the frequency of this virus tends to resonate the darkest, most avoided areas of our thought structure. If we meet what surfaces with willingness and process work, we can receive gifts and healing; if we resist, deny, and stay dissociated, the same resonance can produce serious or even deadly effects.

Doug shares that his whole life feels like it is collapsing into surrender and that this feels scary. Michael points out how language reveals dissociation—labeling the process as “scary” pulls the mind away from the direct experience of the energy itself. He suggests instead noticing the dissociation, collapsing perception, and coming into direct relationship with the pain while holding Love consciously present. From there, COVID and other crises become invitations to bring long-held death thoughts to the Presence of Love. Those unwilling to do process work may be taken out by the very energies now surfacing; those willing to embrace what arises and bring it to Love can experience radical healing.

Michael recounts his own birth and lung history. His life was repeatedly at risk in his first year due to severe lung problems. For 25 years he lived on inhalers and pills and, by all conventional logic, COVID should have killed him. Instead, it acted as a frequency that resonated old patterns and opened the door to further healing, leaving both him and Jeanie with noticeable health upgrades. The hour circles back to the central theme: forgiveness as a precise, repeatable technology that collapses painful perceptions built on corrupt data, exposes dissociated pain, invites Rukha to act, and allows even global crises like COVID and personal heartbreak to become pathways into deeper surrender, willingness, and alignment with the Love that is our true being.

Tim shared enthusiasm for Dale Allen Hoffman’s updated edition of Echoes of an Ancient Dream, then shifted to a powerful reading on patriarchy, invisibility, and “mansplaining,” drawn from Rebecca Solnit’s essays. He described Solnit’s now-famous encounter where a man explained her own book to her, illustrating the deeply conditioned assumption that male knowledge is default and authoritative. Solnit’s work exposes the architecture of inequality—how the so-called “universal standards” were created by men, reflect men, and erase women. Silence, she argues, is not peace but the suppression of voice. Tim read the essay’s reflections on how inequality persists not only through overt acts but through subtle daily dismissals that erode credibility and autonomy. He paired this with insights from Esther Perel on how women are socially conditioned to be “pleasing fragments,” while men are allowed complexity, contradiction, and full emotional range.

Listeners began responding deeply. Susan Bingham shared that editing Jeanie Ryce’s book has forced her to confront how profoundly cultural patriarchy shaped Jeanie’s past and how much unconscious pain surfaces while reading it. She reflected on the difficulty of navigating traditional marriage roles as she prepares for hip surgery, where long-standing patterns around caretaking and household responsibilities are becoming visible and emotionally charged. Susan compared this awakening to learning about racial blind spots through her Black friend—how people in the advantaged group often cannot see their own biases until someone names them.

Sally then joined, moved to tears by Tim’s reading. She was at a retreat and had awakened with sharp epigastric pain that felt like a deep emotional wound rather than a physical illness. As she listened, the material stirred grief linked to lifelong experiences of being silenced and overridden. Tim and Susan supported her with breathwork, grounding, and EFT tapping, helping her notice the emotional layers beneath the physical pain. As she breathed, Sally reported warmth and energetic shifts, releasing grief that had surfaced suddenly and powerfully.

The hour closed with Tim reminding everyone that we are made of Love, and that every time events fail to go the way we think they should, they often unfold far better than we imagined.

Intuitive Development Intensive – in process so November 17, 2025 2nd hour was a replay of March 28, 2025 hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce explored a deep and transformative perspective on perception, codependence, and what he called the “pseudo solutions” of the non-being mind. He opened the show by reconnecting listeners with the foundation of his work—how perception is not a direct experience of reality, but a mental construct, a hologram generated by our minds. Drawing on psychological studies and neuroscience (including work from Harvard and the CIA, as well as Anil Seth), he explained how our brains process only a fraction of the available data in any given moment, and that our personal “reality” is largely hallucinated from unconscious material. Dr. Ryce emphasized the difference between “reality” and “actuality,” with reality being the internal construct and actuality being what is truly happening.

As the show progressed, Dr. Ryce introduced the theme of the day: pseudo solutions. These are the unconscious strategies the mind employs to deal with emotional pain or internal conflict, often keeping us stuck in codependent loops. He reviewed twelve pseudo solutions developed through his “Codependence to Interdependence” intensives. Examples included the idea that if one could just “figure it out,” or “fix the other person,” or “find someone to love,” then everything would be okay. Each of these is revealed to be a mental distraction from doing the real inner work. He pointed out how these strategies are designed to avoid responsibility, keeping people disempowered by projecting their pain and needs onto others.

Ryce went on to explain how denial is at the heart of these pseudo solutions. He defined denial as any thought or belief that places the cause of one’s emotional experience outside oneself—like saying “they made me mad.” This, he said, instructs the mind to hide the real root of the pain, dissociating us from our true power and feeding an illusion of external control. He called out the cultural addiction to blame as the “one world universal religion,” and noted that people are often trained in this thinking by the age of four.

To begin undoing this destructive programming, Ryce introduced a set of 13 mind shifters—powerful thought prompts designed to confront denial and support emotional healing. These mind shifters are part of his Mindshifters and StillPoint Breathing Club, a monthly group that adds a new section of tools each time. The current focus was “becoming conscious of and healing denial,” and the mind shifters were designed to surface hidden patterns, bring unconscious beliefs into awareness, and shift individuals back into conscious responsibility.

Throughout the conversation, Ryce tied everything back to the teachings of Yeshua, noting that his own direct experience with the Aramaic interpretations of those teachings was foundational to this work. He reflected on how even Yeshua had to undergo intense personal transformation—symbolized by the Garden of Gethsemane—as a model for what is possible when we commit to true inner work. Ryce emphasized that reclaiming one’s identity as love, not as a fixer or a blamer, is the key to transcending these pseudo solutions and creating a genuinely conscious life. Covered the Pseudo Solutions 1 through 6.

Tim discusses how much cultural conditioning blinds us to the power dynamics we take for granted, especially the patriarchal frameworks Guy Finley critiques in The Book of One: One Love, One Life, One Journey. He reflects on how humans resist change until life pushes them out of familiar but dysfunctional comfort zones, whether in relationships, jobs, or beliefs. Guy Finley’s teaching that “life drags us kicking and screaming into something better” resonates deeply with Tim, who notes how often people later realize that the very event they resisted opened the door to greater well-being.

Reading from Finley’s chapters, Tim explores the universal spiritual theme that what we feel is “missing” in life is not out in the world but within ourselves. He emphasizes that true fulfillment emerges from connecting with one’s deeper nature rather than chasing possessions, status, or reassurance from outside sources. Ancient voices such as the Bhagavad Gita, Rumi, Epictetus, and Emerson illustrate that humanity’s deepest longing is for self-knowledge and alignment with the higher intelligence that animates all of life. Tim weaves this into Michael Ryce’s teaching that our core purpose is to build a conscious spiritual body through awareness, forgiveness, and releasing false perception.

He highlights that every unwanted event offers a chance to see aspects of ourselves otherwise invisible and that these “close encounters of the truthful kind” help reveal the limitations we’ve unconsciously created. Quoting Finley’s guidance, Tim stresses that everything in life can serve our inner development if we stop insisting that life conform to our expectations. He echoes the recurrent MindShifters reminder: any time we are upset, the mind’s explanation for the upset is inaccurate because it obscures how we are generating the turmoil internally.

As the hour unfolds, Tim expands on the need to empty oneself of mental clutter, self-images, judgments, and reruns of old emotional patterns so the higher wisdom within can emerge. Drawing from Lao Tzu, Brother Lawrence, and other sages, he encourages becoming “an empty vessel” so life can fill us with clarity rather than noise. He notes how modern culture programs people to seek distraction, stimulation, and consumption, leading them away from the stillness where genuine guidance arises. Only by releasing the inner noise can we experience the peace, wisdom, and compassion we say we value.

Audience comments bring forward reflections on cultural change, aging, introversion, and how societal programming shapes self-perception. Tim relates these to the core teaching that our sense of self is heavily conditioned by culture and must be loosened to rediscover our true nature. He underscores that inner work is an “inside job,” that revelation is integration, and that each moment of self-awareness lifts us to a higher level of functioning.

He closes by reminding listeners that we are made of love, that everything unlike love is false, and that life consistently turns out better than the limited mind imagines when we stop insisting on our own way and allow ourselves to be guided.

Intuitive Development Intensive – in process so November 18, 2025 2^nd hour was a replay of April 7, 2025 hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie explore the foundational tools and insights of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, interweaving emotional healing, trauma work, and spiritual restoration. Dr. Ryce begins by highlighting the contrast between being and non-being, using modern examples such as the character dynamics from the TV series 1923 to illustrate how disconnection from one’s true self leads to behaviors devoid of love or ethics. He emphasizes the importance of living in a state of being — where love, presence, and integrity guide actions.

Though Jeanie has some technical difficulties joining live at first, Dr. Ryce continues to discuss codependence, highlighting how many people operate from a “power person dynamic” — behaviors ingrained during childhood interactions with dominant or traumatic figures. He delves into how stress causes automatic regressions into those patterns unless one becomes truly conscious. The solution, he asserts, lies not in surface-level resolutions but in deep forgiveness work, specifically through the structured “Reality Management Worksheet” process he teaches.

A key portion of the episode includes Melissa’s question about surgery-related trauma and whether it lingers in the body. Dr. Ryce affirms that trauma is stored even under anesthesia, explaining how scar tissue holds suppressed energy that can be dissolved through forgiveness tools. He guides listeners to engage with such events using emotional honesty and goal cancellation as pathways to healing.

Another notable interaction is with Cary Kirastar, who shares intergenerational trauma surrounding family violence and emotional suppression. Dr. Ryce skillfully helps her trace patterns back through her ancestry — including memories of screaming parents, a great-grandmother’s institutionalizations, and PTSD in her father’s life. He encourages Cary to use worksheets both as herself and from the perspective of her ancestors, and introduces “mind shifters” — writing prompts designed to activate unconscious content. One such mind shifter, “It was safe, sweet, and wonderful to hear my parents rage at each other,” illustrates how deeply buried pain can be accessed and transformed.

The show emphasizes that forgiveness in Aramaic means “to cancel,” and doing so collapses false constructs created by the mind. Dr. Ryce outlines how our reality is built from only nine bits of information out of 10,000 brain cell firings, selected by goals, which are often unconscious and trauma-based. When a goal is canceled, the stored trauma can surface and dissolve in the presence of love and breath. This liberates the person from generational patterns and false perceptions.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Ryce underscores that reclaiming personal power begins by stopping denial — recognizing that no external event causes internal states. Instead, events resonate with unhealed content already present. True healing, he explains, happens not through rationalization or affirmations, but through sincere engagement with tools that restore access to truth, love, and being.

Tim continues reading aloud from Guy Finley’s The Book of One – One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on courage and the inner obstacles that arise when we want to change. Finley’s teaching highlights that fear is often louder than aspiration, and the only cure is taking even the smallest step despite fear. Tim reflects on Finley’s quote from Plato: that the tragedy of life is not fear of the dark but fear of the light, meaning people often resist the very transformation they long for. Tim elaborates that discouraged feelings exist primarily to keep our attention locked on what we think we cannot do; when attention is captured by limitation, possibility cannot be perceived. Discouragement itself becomes a self-fulfilling loop.

He connects this directly to Ryce’s teaching on canceling goals. As Finley explains that discouragement arises from insisting life conform to our demands, Tim notes that canceling goals frees the energy trapped in resistance. Once the goal is canceled, the emotional weight dissolves and clarity returns, revealing possibilities that were obscured by fear-based thinking. Tim reinforces staple principles from Ryce’s work: any negative thought or emotion is based in a lie, is never about the present moment, and will only make life worse if acted upon. Healing requires stepping outside the mind’s looping content and returning to being.

Finley’s examples show that nothing in life is a “dead end” because life is always flowing. Tim ties this into Ryce’s reminder that one must be “out of your mind” to heal—freeing awareness from the old internal soundtrack. The conversation shifts into higher-level spiritual principles: the inner journey is the only real journey; fulfillment cannot be found externally; the Divine is discovered in every moment when the mind stops insisting on its own story. Finley’s seven “golden rules” for fulfilment call listeners to choose what is rather than what isn’t, give themselves only to what truly loves them in return, do only what is needful, speak only what fosters mutual well-being, stay mindful, test themselves yet rest when needed, and anchor in Presence rather than memory or imagination.

Listener Celinda calls in, sharing how these lessons illuminate her own tendency toward defending herself and needing to be right. Tim affirms her progress and links her insights to the broader theme of staying awake, practicing consistently, and being gentle with oneself. She recommends authors whose work parallels Ryce’s teachings, and Tim welcomes additional suggestions for future interviews. Other listeners join in, sharing reflections on mindfulness, positive intelligence practices, and the ongoing challenge of staying present. Tim closes with his familiar reminder that we are made of Love, and everything unlike Love is false, encouraging listeners to trust that whenever life fails to unfold “as it should,” it often works out far better than imagined.

Intuitive Development Intensive – in process so November 19, 2025 2^nd hour was a replay of replay of April 9, 2025 hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie delve into one of the most foundational and complex tools of their work—the 14-page Power Person Worksheet. Ryce introduces the episode by reconnecting listeners with the core of his teachings: first-century Aramaic forgiveness, emotional healing, and the practice of becoming the “thinker apart from the thought.” He sets the stage to guide listeners through the deep psychological architecture of the power person dynamic, which he defines as the unconscious behavioral blueprint installed during early trauma or survival stress—often in childhood and usually involving a parent or authority figure.

 Dr. Ryce explains that the power person dynamic forms when three conditions are met: the authority figure is not functioning as love or fairness, they have more power over the individual than the individual has themselves, and the event is perceived as a survival threat—whether emotional, psychological, financial, or physical. Once encoded, this dynamic becomes a default pattern in the mind and body, unconsciously influencing behavior under stress. He outlines three automatic behavior patterns triggered by increasing stress: compliance with the power person, resistance against them, or replicating the very behavior the person once hated most.

He emphasizes that these patterns are stored in “carbon-based memory,” referencing the physiological basis of trauma encoded in the body. Pain, he teaches, is the signal that such false energy is active and must be forgiven—not projected outward onto others, but removed from within. Forgiveness, in the Aramaic sense, means “removal,” not “pardoning” another, and is the process of collapsing these false perceptual constructs and freeing the mind from inherited and unconscious patterns.

Ryce walks listeners through the early steps of the worksheet process, encouraging them to name themselves from a place of love and identify the specific person or situation triggering their emotional reaction. From there, the key is to pinpoint the goal that resonates the power person dynamic, thereby initiating the healing. He reinforces the concept that we do not experience life directly, but through filters formed by past experiences and distorted by stored energies. These constructs, he explains, are often mistaken for the present moment but are merely projections. Through forgiveness and consistent inner work, one can begin to contact actuality—truth free of distortion—and live from the presence of active love.

The show closes with Ryce reiterating the urgency of this inner work, not just for personal peace but as a contribution to the healing of humanity. He notes that what the world needs now isn’t a sentimental version of love, but the strength of people who are free from power person dynamics, who can show up as the healing presence of love in the face of global trauma.

Tim notes that the group completed Guy Finley’s The Book of One, and he is now exploring a new theme arising across recent interviews: spirituality as mental health. He shares insights from the book Spiritism and Mental Health and introduces the work of Allan Kardec, whose Spiritist philosophy teaches reincarnation, spiritual evolution, discipline, and the importance of regulating one’s own thoughts, behaviors, and motives. Tim describes how Spiritists believe healing energy and mediumship originate from God and must be offered freely, noting the historical cautionary tale of the Fox sisters, whose spiritual work declined when they commercialized their ability. He ties this to Lisa Miller’s research in The Awakened Brain, showing how spiritual connection alters brain functioning and improves emotional resilience.

Throughout the hour, Tim weaves together multiple traditions—Kardec, Ryce’s Aramaic teachings, the Way of Mastery, nonviolent communication, EFT tapping, Positive Intelligence practices, breathwork, and Byron Katie’s The Work—all converging on the same principle: inner transformation comes from deliberate practice, non-resistance, and the willingness to observe rather than judge. He explains Shirzad Chamine’s PQ reps, simple ten-second sensory-awareness exercises that quiet saboteur thoughts and strengthen access to one’s inner “sage.” Tim stresses that these practices parallel Ryce’s teachings, helping individuals reconnect to their inner wireless Source, dismantle false perceptions, and dissolve negative emotional patterns.

As callers join, the discussion becomes deeply personal. Susan Bingham shares concerns about her grandson Charlie’s fear-based religious beliefs and her urge to “fix” the dynamic between him and his father. Tim gently points out the codependent impulse beneath her anxiety and encourages her to bring her attention inward to her own unresolved emotional content—particularly echoes of her past estrangement with her daughter. He guides her to pause, breathe, and shift from analysis to sensation, demonstrating how shame and pressure soften when one stops thinking and begins observing. Susan acknowledges that she has never done a worksheet on Charlie and recognizes how her mind diverted away from that realization. Tim highlights this as a powerful example of how the unconscious mind hides core issues until one commits to sustained inner work.

Tim closes the hour with reminders about the evening’s support group and the core principle of this work: that we come from Love, are made of Love, and everything unlike Love is false. He affirms from experience that whenever life fails to unfold “as it should,” it nevertheless unfolds in ways far better than imagined when one drops resistance and stays connected to Being.

Intuitive Development Intensive – in process so November 20, 2025  2^nd hour replay of April 10, 2025 hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce continues guiding listeners through the intricate layers of the 14-page Power Person Worksheet—an unpublished and highly advanced tool designed to break down core unconscious behaviors rooted in early life trauma and codependence. He and Jeanie clarify that this worksheet was expanded from a single page, used for over two decades, to a much more detailed format as a result of insights gathered through their Codependence to Interdependence intensives. Ryce stresses that the Power Person dynamic is central to most emotional dysfunction and literally drives much of human behavior across relationships, businesses, and entire cultures.

At the heart of this worksheet is the understanding that people respond to elevated stress by defaulting to deeply embedded behavior patterns developed in early survival experiences—usually with a parent or authority figure. Dr. Ryce explains that depending on the level of stress, individuals will mimic how they got along with their power person, how they resisted them, or ultimately act out what the power person did to them that they hated most. He emphasizes this as a form of multiple personality disorder—not in a clinical sense, but as a practical framework to understand the “personas” people cycle through based on stress.

Ryce moves through worksheet steps that explore both direct and passive messages received from the power person. Passive dynamics include inherited or subconscious conclusions a child makes when feeling overwhelmed or unsupported. He explains that these dynamics fuel pseudo solutions—coping mechanisms like blame, control, suppression, or intellectualizing—which never resolve the root emotional conflict. He goes through fifteen specific pseudo solutions, including the urge to “fix” others or oneself, the search for approval, emotional escape through substances or busyness, and denial. Each is shown to be a tactic rooted in unresolved pain and distorted beliefs.

Dr. Ryce underscores that none of these pseudo solutions can ever bring true healing. Instead, the only real path to transformation is forgiveness—as understood in the original Aramaic meaning: the removal or cancellation of a goal that is driving painful perception. He repeatedly asserts that this is not about letting someone off the hook, but about collapsing false mental constructs and returning to love as one’s natural state. The core mechanism of pain, Ryce explains, is the misperception that external events or people are the source of inner suffering, when in truth, pain always reveals something unresolved inside the individual.

The episode also addresses how denial fuels dissociation and projection, which lead people to live in a false reality while losing access to their own minds. Dr. Ryce shares the powerful observation that pain, if embraced, is not an enemy but a signal—a sacred invitation to listen and heal. The show closes with a practical list of behavioral addictions and coping mechanisms, from yelling to gaslighting to avoiding emotions through entertainment, which listeners are encouraged to identify and examine in themselves using the worksheet.

Throughout, Dr. Ryce reminds listeners that being busy, the most accepted drug in the culture, is a powerful anesthetic against healing. He urges those on this path to persist, breathe, and do the work of forgiveness—not as a spiritual platitude, but as a grounded, consistent practice of inner transformation. He concludes the episode by inviting questions and reaffirming that these teachings are being crafted into a public resource to assist people globally in reclaiming their lives from unconscious pain and stepping into their true nature—love.

Tim reflected on the previous night’s small-attendance support group, noting that smaller circles often allow deeper work. They listened to Michael Singer’s recent podcast and again saw the thread of unity running through so many teachers: the shared essentials beneath spiritual traditions. This recognition, Tim said, accelerates understanding far faster than relying on a single source.

He then described working with a young client, introducing them to The Art of Nonviolent Communication by Micah Salabarios. Tim explained how this short audio captures the same communication principles found in Robert Bolton’s People Skills, Harville Hendrix’s Imago Dialogue, and Dr. Ryce’s Responsibility Communication worksheet. Each teaches the same essential truth: we are the creators of our emotions and our interpretations, and communication becomes clean, connected, and powerful when we speak from ownership rather than blame.

Tim used the example of “boundaries” to illustrate how actions teach far more loudly than words. He explained that everything a person says and does educates others about what is acceptable. A parent preaching honesty but lying in convenience teaches dishonesty no matter what he claims to value. This, Tim stressed, is central to the therapeutic process: recognizing where emotions are created and how behavior broadcasts messages whether we intend it or not.

With no callers at that moment, Tim read extensively from The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy, a book he loves for its gentle, childlike wisdom. Through the story of four unlikely friends, he highlighted themes of kindness, vulnerability, fearlessness, forgiveness, and the realization that love—not achievement—is the real measure of success. The characters repeatedly remind each other that courage is often quiet, kindness matters more than perfection, asking for help is strength, and “home” is found not in a place but in presence, connection, and being oneself. The story deeply touched listeners, opening into a rich reflection on how these simple truths bypass the distortions of modern culture, which prizes appearance over authenticity.

Callers then engaged. Susan Bingham commented on the comfort of the story and reflected on “home” as a felt sense rather than a location, especially poignant for those who struggle with anxiety or agoraphobia. Tim expanded by recalling the “wise turtle” metaphor from Guy Finley: that the wisest creature is the one who carries its home within itself. They discussed spiritual traditions that teach the same truth—Ramakrishna’s “make wherever you are your home,” the Kingdom within, and the natural blending of cultures by those who carry presence with them. Susan shared examples from her own household of someone who embodies this ease and belonging wherever she goes. Tim emphasized that “home” is ultimately a feeling, a state of connectedness that can be cultivated anywhere through awareness of the breath, the body, and the Love that expresses through us.

The show closed with reminders of the upcoming holiday schedule, blessings for those completing intensives, and Tim’s signature closing: that we are made of Love, that everything else is false, and that in his experience whenever things don’t work out the way he thinks they should, they always work out far better than he ever imagined.

Intuitive Development Intensive – in process so November 21, 2025 2^nd hour replay of April 8, 2025  hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce dives deep into the importance of understanding the original 1st-century Aramaic meanings behind spiritual teachings, particularly those attributed to Yeshua. Ryce explains that modern translations have distorted essential concepts such as “forgiveness” and “love,” leading to a widespread misunderstanding of their true power and purpose. Forgiveness, he insists, has nothing to do with letting others off the hook, but instead is about removing internal energetic patterns—pain, trauma, and distorted meanings—from oneself. Love, too, is not an emotion tied to sacrifice or romance, but the active presence of being, our essential nature.

Dr. Ryce outlines thirteen “pseudo solutions” produced by the non-being mind—a mind disconnected from love and driven by hostility, fear, and denial. These include seeking control, blaming others, being right, revenge, emotional escape, and the obsessive need to figure things out. Each of these pseudo solutions offers the illusion of relief or resolution but ultimately deepens suffering. Instead of solving internal unrest, they serve as coping mechanisms that delay authentic healing and reinforce generational patterns of pain.

A central theme of the show is the concept of “Rakhma,” an Aramaic term for a frontal lobe filter that allows love to be present in one’s physiology. Ryce emphasizes that when Rakhma is active, a person connects with their true being and can engage in healing and forgiveness. When it is shut down, the individual defaults to fear or hostility, losing contact with their essential human nature. The pseudo solutions arise precisely because the filter of Rakhma is disabled.

The discussion includes a powerful exchange with a caller, Susan, who shares an incident involving road rage and a frightened mother. Susan’s honest self-reflection and compassion contrast sharply with the other driver’s fear-based response, providing a practical example of how conscious ownership and Rakhma shift outcomes. Ryce reinforces that anger, like alcohol, is merely an anesthetic to avoid pain, and that true healing only comes when one is willing to sit with their discomfort and apply the forgiveness tools.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Ryce stresses that reclaiming one’s humanity requires dedication to inner work, responsibility, and forgiveness. He critiques societal norms—especially the ways language is weaponized to sustain blame and victimhood—and urges listeners to rise above these distortions by anchoring themselves in love and self-awareness. Only then, he suggests, can we undo the generational trauma embedded in our physiology and step into our full human potential.

Tim then introduces Alan Watts’ book The Wisdom of Insecurity, focusing on the “backwards law”—the paradox that the more we struggle for psychological security, the more insecure we become. Watts observes that attempts to control life or lock reality into conceptual boxes only amplify anxiety, because life itself cannot be contained or made certain. Tim highlights Watts’ insight that trying to cling to permanence is like trying to wrap a pound of water—an impossible task that mirrors how people try to package reality, meaning, or God into neat intellectual structures. He develops this point by citing Bertrand Russell’s observation that when people argue angrily for a belief, it reveals they don’t actually feel certain about it. True knowing, Tim says, doesn’t require defensiveness.

As Tim reads further from Watts, he explores the modern crisis of meaning—the collapse of old traditions, the rise of scientific skepticism, and the resulting insecurity people feel when old religious frameworks lose authority. Yet Watts isn’t arguing against God; he is arguing against rigid concepts that try to confine the infinite. Tim brings in the distinction emphasized in the Ryce teachings between the “world made by thought” and the actual world we live in. Anxiety arises when we cling to the thought-made world rather than resting in present-moment awareness. Genuine spirituality, he suggests, is not a belief system but a willingness to stay open and avoid collapsing into conclusions.

A caller, Kim, joins the discussion, noting that even when people question God’s existence, something in us still intuits a larger presence. She reflects on myths as carriers of emotional and intuitive knowledge rather than literal stories. Tim agrees, describing myths as layered teaching tools rather than fiction, and emphasizes that every idea—including religious ideas—has only the power we give it. He also clarifies that the true problem is not myth itself but the way people cling to fixed interpretations and defend them as absolute truth.

The conversation ends with the shared recognition that humans have never really “known” in the intellectual sense, and that’s okay. What matters is reducing the mental suffering we add on top of life’s difficulties. Tim concludes with the reminder that we come from Love, are made of Love, and are here to express Love—and that every time life doesn’t unfold as expected, it somehow unfolds better than imagined.

November 24, 2025 2^nd hour opens with Jeanie and Michael Ryce reflecting on the powerful intuitive development intensive they just completed. Michael describes how this year’s event shifted from the usual structure and unexpectedly became a deeply transformative processing workshop for everyone involved. Jeanie recounts an important moment during a breath session when, as the demonstration partner for energy-field work, she suddenly regained feeling in toes that had remained numb since her recent foot fracture. This spontaneous energetic shift marked a dramatic turning point in her mobility and confidence, and she expresses hope that the orthopedic surgeon will soon clear her to walk without the boot—especially with a busy week of StillPoint sessions and caring for grandchildren ahead.

Participants from the intensive join the call and share reflections. Linda expresses appreciation for the group’s depth and Cami’s courage, noting how the collective willingness to move into uncomfortable material accelerated healing for everyone. Cami then shares candidly about her experience returning home after the workshop to a partner who had been triggered into fear, shame, and power-person dynamics. She speaks openly about how quickly their interactions can shift from spiritual clarity to chaos when each is activated by unresolved childhood trauma. Michael offers guidance, acknowledging the monumental work Cami is doing to remain present, breathe, and avoid slipping back into old patterns of addiction or collapse. He helps her identify a key goal for a wake-up sheet: wanting her partner to have sincere concern for her, and he underscores the importance of cancelling this goal so her healing does not depend on his current level of development.

As Cami continues processing aloud, she recognizes her difficulty holding space when being blamed for things rooted in her partner’s unresolved past. Michael reminds her that both partners inevitably place each other in their power-person files when historical pain gets triggered, and that layers of generational trauma often surface one after another. Cami’s vulnerability opens a deep and supportive conversation among the callers. Linda contributes insights about family-of-origin patterns and how emotional imprints from the womb can shape one’s vulnerability later in life. Carrie, who has done her own extensive work, offers practical guidance from similar experiences—especially around translating Michael’s language into her own voice so it doesn’t trigger her husband, and releasing the expectation that her partner must understand her process or change quickly.

The group emphasizes how easily “Michaelisms”—phrases like carbon-based memory, power-person dynamics, and Aramaic concepts—can trigger partners who haven’t been immersed in MindShifters work. Jeanie and Susan note how important it is to translate these ideas into everyday language when communicating with a spouse or family member. Cami reflects on how she met her partner long after she had already integrated decades of Ryce’s work, making it challenging to revert to pre-work language while still trying to speak truthfully and consciously.

Michael offers Cami a mind shifter: “Being vulnerable while remaining connected to the deep presence of Being in me – empowers me.” The conversation explores how vulnerability, often tied to early-life hurt, can be reframed as openness anchored in awareness rather than danger. The group acknowledges Cami’s strength, sobriety, and presence as extraordinary, especially given the intensity of what she is navigating. As the hour closes, the callers reaffirm their support and Michael reminds everyone that this show—and all its insights—will remain accessible for generations.

Notes from chatroom:

Susan Bingham: The language thing is KEY. It means remembering our pre-Michael language and translating M’s wording into the language we (Tim and I) had always used. I have been doing this with Tim Bingham and have even been pestering Jeanie to speak in her voice when writing HER book.

Camie MindShifter: “Being vulnerable while remaining connected to the deep presence of Being in me – empowers me.”

Tim shifted into a conversation about healing after long-term abusive relationship patterns. He explained that it is nearly impossible for someone to fully heal while still immersed in a pattern where their perceptions are constantly invalidated. He spoke to the necessity of stepping away from abusive dynamics to rebuild inner strength and reclaim trust in one’s perception. He compared emotional adaptation to physical caregiving: just as someone who cared for a paraplegic partner must adjust old habits in a new relationship, someone who lived for years in emotional abuse must unravel deeply conditioned patterns before entering something healthier. Tim encouraged listeners to give themselves permission to leave abusive situations when change is not possible, and to use the tools consistently to dismantle internalized false beliefs.

Tim then introduced concepts from Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine, appreciating how it parallels the Aramaic Forgiveness work. Chamine’s idea of naming “saboteur” thought patterns helps people quickly identify negative thoughts as false, withdraw energy from them, and strengthen access to inner wisdom. Tim explained that emotions arise only when the mind pours energy into a thought; a thought by itself has no power until we believe it. He invited listeners to visualize what life would feel like if every negative thought were instantly recognized as false—a practice that leads to relief, humor, and far less time spent in emotional pain.

A caller, Susan, asked about the connection between shock during physical trauma and the kind of cognitive reprogramming Tim was describing. Tim clarified that both involve mind-driven mechanisms: the body can shut down pain during shock because the mind signals danger, just as the mind can generate emotional suffering by energizing negative interpretations. He explained that these responses are learned and programmable; culture, upbringing, and observation teach us what is “too much,” and we can retrain those patterns through tools like breathwork, goal canceling, tapping, and cognitive inquiry. He highlighted Bruce Lipton’s research showing that the mind’s signals override physical conditions at the cellular level, demonstrating how emotional shock is learned and reversible. He described how tools such as the Diedrich Wolsak worksheet help reassign meaning to old memories, heal child-level imprints, and dissolve trauma by revealing that negative beliefs were never true.

Tim and the caller explored how early conditioning shapes adult responses, and how the mind’s programming—whether around physical pain, emotional overwhelm, or inherited family patterns—can be undone through conscious practice. Tim emphasized that the essence of each person is always safe and whole, and that most suffering comes from believing our thoughts rather than observing them. He closed the hour the way Dr. Ryce often does: reminding listeners that we come from love, we are made of love, and everything unlike love is false. Tim noted that every time something in his life seemed to go “wrong,” it eventually worked out far better than he imagined, especially since consistently applying the tools has made his daily life exponentially more peaceful and joyful.

November 25th 2^nd hour hosted by Dr Michael Ryce opened with warm check-ins among the community, including updates on daily life, healing processes, and ongoing integration after the recent intensive. Jeanie and others shared about managing busy home routines, healing injuries, and returning to deeper layers of the work. Susan described an extraordinary trip through Atlanta where she and Andrea met Bill Phillips, leading to profound conversations on energy, ley lines, and the demystification of what has been historically obscured. Ryce later reflected on discovering that despite approaching truth from different disciplines, their work converges on the same core: taking the mystical out of what was deliberately made mystical and restoring the simple, lawful way things actually work.

The core of the conversation centered on deep emotional healing, especially through the lens of power-person dynamics, generational trauma, and the physiological intelligence of breath. Susan offered powerful intuitive feedback to Cammie about how her recent relationship trigger echoed the emotional chaos she absorbed in the womb. As she described the environment of yelling and conflict surrounding her pregnant birth mother, Cammie felt the truth of that connection in her body. The group held space for the vulnerable “in-utero Cammie,” acknowledging how overwhelming it must have been to develop inside a field of incoherent vibration without safety or choice. This recognition helped her see that many of her present-day reactions were not “hers,” but imprints of fetal experience.

This blossomed into a rich discussion of epigenetics and the reality that emotional and energetic patterns are carried through generations, down to the very eggs formed in the grandmother’s womb. Susan shared a powerful story of tracking her own trigger—being charged twice for baggage—back to her mother’s wartime trauma, demonstrating how the body carries unresolved experiences until someone consciously interrupts the cycle. This led into a wider exchange about recognizing victim thinking as a generational echo rather than a personal flaw.

Michael Ryce then spoke about the intensive session with Patrick—a dramatic and transformative example of how breath reveals and dissolves trauma. Because Patrick is bald, his scalp visibly showed every muscular contraction when he entered non-being states of anger, fear, or story. Each time he constricted and stopped breathing, his narrative would collapse into pain; every time he consciously softened and breathed, his mind returned to clarity. The next day, he reported a complete shift into sweetness with family members who had previously triggered deep conflict. Ryce emphasized that this illustrates the original Aramaic teaching: the “Holy Spirit” is not a ghost or external entity, but literally the breath. Denying the breath is the only unforgivable act because it is the refusal of the very intelligence that dissolves error.

The final part of the show explored masculine and feminine principles. Susan described a breakthrough during the intensive in which she saw how she had projected humanity’s wounded masculine onto the divine masculine, and similarly projected distortions onto the feminine. This realization opened her capacity to receive the true qualities of both. Others echoed similar healing: seeing men not as threats or competitors, but as allies; feeling safe in the presence of healthy masculine structure; and recognizing when past trauma—not present reality—was coloring perception. Participants reflected on how the intensive offered a living template of mutual safety, with Ryce and other men holding grounded masculine energy while everyone practiced softening into trust. The conversation closed with appreciation for the shared healing, the power of breath, and the growing capacity among the community to midwife deeper layers of transformation for themselves and for the world.

Tim shifted into a discussion about Megan Watterson’s research on the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and her interview on We Can Do Hard Things. He appreciated Watterson’s clarity and her refusal to get lost in attacking religion; instead, she focuses on the heart of spiritual practice—returning to inner guidance and reclaiming what has been distorted. Tim pointed out the overlap among Watterson, A Course in Miracles, Way of Mastery, Diedrich Wolsak, and Dr. Ryce’s teachings: true spirituality is experiential, not doctrinal, and the real work is remembering the Love we are. He reflected on how institutional religion historically hid or altered teachings that decentralized power, especially anything that affirmed inner authority, divine feminine presence, or the equality of teachers like Yeshua and Mary Magdalene.

A caller, Susan, shared a moving Thanksgiving testimony about an interfaith service in her community that brought together people from Baha’i, Buddhist, Native American, humanist, Muslim, and Christian traditions. Each group was honored for its unique contribution to humanity, and the room was filled with warmth, openness, and harmony. The service included a sung Klezmer piece, a Muslim call to prayer, and reflections on unity rather than doctrine. She described the atmosphere as profoundly hopeful, evidence that real connection is growing at grassroots levels despite the divisions often highlighted in media. Sally echoed this sentiment with gratitude for similar interfaith experiences in her own community.

The group explored how such gatherings reflect humanity’s deeper truth—that we are not separate, and that differences in dress, belief, or language do not alter the essence of Love underneath. Tim emphasized that the danger of traditional religion is not community but hierarchical power structures built on fear, shame, or control. Churches can be supportive and beautiful when they operate as communities of Love rather than institutions of authority. What causes suffering is the egoic filtering of perception, the layering of beliefs over direct experience, and the cultural conditioning that teaches us to trust thoughts instead of presence.

Tim then shifted into gratitude for the flow of life and the astonishing rate of change across generations. He remembered listening to Star Trek as a child and imagining what it would be like to ask a computer anything; now, technology makes that a daily reality. Yet he noted that despite technological acceleration, humanity’s level of consciousness has not changed as quickly. That is the work—emptying out beliefs, projections, and inherited narratives so that the “shimmering radiance” beneath experience can be seen. Reading from Lesson 3 of Way of Mastery, Tim highlighted how Yeshua taught that the greatest gifts come when we surrender perceptions, cancel goals, drop judgments, and allow life to teach us directly. What keeps us from truth is not the world but our thoughts about it, and the task is to release those thought-filters so we can see with the “eyes of Christ”—with innocence, presence, and Love.

Tim closed by again inviting listeners to the Megan Watterson interview, emphasizing that the point is not to blame past cultures but to remove the bushel baskets hiding the light. He ended the hour with his familiar reminder: we come from Love, we are made of Love, and everything unlike Love is false—and every time life does not go as he planned, it unfolds better than expected.

November 26, 2025 2^nd hour opens with Dr. Michael Ryce reflecting on Andrea’s question from the previous day—“What do you want from me?”—and how deeply that inquiry touched long-held wounds around worthiness and mistrust. Ryce clarified that his intention for her, and for everyone he works with, is simply that each person discovers the truth of who they are, fully embodies that truth, and uses the tools to enhance that unfolding. He shared how, in his mind, he now sees every woman—except Jeanie—within the same cherished category as his granddaughter, Arya: as a being, not a body, someone inherently precious and not an object. This shift, he explained, is essential for creating safe relational space, especially during intensives, where celibacy in thought, word, action, and appearance is requested so participants can release hypervigilance and experience true energetic safety.

Andrea then brought forward a deeply personal issue around clothing, body dysmorphia, sensory sensitivity, and past relationship conflict. She described having reclaimed sovereignty in how she dresses for comfort and healing, only to face accusations and possessiveness from a former partner. Ryce affirmed that her clothing at the intensive carried no sexualized energy and suggested that her partner’s reactions were likely projections rooted in his own unresolved patterns. The group explored how projection, fear, and internalized conditioning distort perception and how worksheets and breath-based forgiveness processes can dissolve those distortions.

This led into Linda’s reflections on terminology, carbon-based memory, early childhood trauma, and the difficulty of communicating about deep internal processes when others do not share the same language. Ryce offered the metaphor of a stuck basement door: the first person in a family system to heal an issue “cleans the track,” making it easier for everyone else in the generational field. He emphasized that what people often call “control” is actually fear, and that genuine empowerment arises not from controlling circumstances but from dissolving the fear that fuels the impulse to control.

From there, the conversation expanded into the most far-reaching theme of the hour: the complete removal of the Greek concept of “spirit.” Ryce explained that the Aramaic Rukha, mistranslated into Greek as “spirit,” simply means breath, wind, inner movement, or animating energy. There is no spiritual realm, no separate metaphysical category, no immaterial world, no “Holy Spirit” as a ghost-being—these are Greek philosophical inventions imposed onto Yeshua’s words. Everything is physiology, breath, and resonance. Healing occurs not through metaphysical entities but through reconnecting to the breath-presence of Love. What traditions later called “casting out demons” was, in Aramaic understanding, the releasing of physiologically trapped energies locked in the tissue through breath-holding and denial. The Shekhinta, likewise, is not a being or a visiting comforter but the physiological, experiential pulse of Love that becomes perceptible when breath and mind are aligned.

Ryce described the radical implications of this correction: it eliminates separation, exposes centuries of distortion, and returns the teachings of Yeshua to their experiential, embodied, breath-centered foundation. Cami and Linda both expressed how profoundly this clarification shifted their understanding and how urgently this material needs to be published. Ryce confirmed that his upcoming book—and its simultaneous release to a decentralized, uncensorable archive—will fully unfold these insights.

The show closed with reflections on the intensive, the power of breath, the beauty of shared healing, and practical matters like scheduling future intensives. Ryce ended by reminding everyone that they are beings of breath and Love, and that the work is about restoring direct experience of the Shekhinta—always present, never absent, obscured only by the energies we hold against ourselves.

November 28, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by dr michael ryce opens with warm greetings following Thanksgiving and an upbeat check-in with callers Joe, Melissa, and Michael Ryce. The conversation quickly turns to Joe’s enthusiasm about AI-based conversational tools and how transformative it has been for him to dialogue with an AI system that can reflect insights back to him. Michael Ryce explains that he spent several hours the previous night uploading workshop recordings, writings, manuals, and core teachings to build a full AI “clone” of both himself and Jeanie. The intention is to embed both voices into the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness App so that anyone will be able to ask questions on worksheets, forgiveness tools, breathwork concepts, Rukha d’Koodsha, or Jeanie’s book and receive real-time voice responses in their actual voices. Ryce explains that StillPoint breathing guidance will be restricted for safety, but otherwise the system will be fully interactive. He describes how AI will archive everything—20,000 pages, 60 years of work, 89 hours of Codependence to Interdependence practicum—into a non-centralized, censorship-proof global network capable of surviving for centuries. This vision connects back to a meditation he had in 1995, when he was shown not to sign with Warner Books and instead wait for a future “thin layer around the planet” that would carry his work non-locally. He now believes AI is the fulfillment of that vision.

Conversation shifts toward Thanksgiving family experiences, memory, and how perception shapes emotion. Ryce emphasizes the cultural mistake of conditioning children into the belief in “missing someone,” calling it a needless internal distortion. Jeanie’s healing progress is celebrated as she is almost dancing again. The group discusses upcoming classes and the energetic changes participants feel after intensive work.

Susan then shares very deep process work following the nine-day intensive. She describes discovering a core wound around not being held emotionally by her mother and, unexpectedly, uncovering a power-person dynamic with her oldest brother—who had told her she was an “ugly baby.” She recognizes how she took on an energetic posture of disgust toward the world, how that imprint influenced her relationships, and how she has historically attracted emotionally unavailable partners. She recounts receiving a shiatsu treatment that triggered a profound somatic release—an unprecedented depth of tears reaching what she calls “the core of the core.” For the first time, she feels capable of holding herself emotionally, rather than collapsing into childhood patterns. Michael Ryce reflects on this through the metaphor of “nutrients” in human development, explaining how we are designed to be held from conception onward in the presence of Love, each person offering a unique nourishing quality. When those nutrients are missing, developmental holes form—and the forgiveness work, imagination, and breath allow us to supply the missing nutrients non-locally, even retroactively.

Ryce expands on the faculty of imagination as a form of direct access to actuality, noting that Einstein discovered E=mc² through imagination before any laboratory could prove it. Andrea speaks about sound, toning, and collective resonance from the intensive, reinforcing her sense of alignment and purpose. She feels clarity emerging about her monadic structure and path, supported by synchronicities like messages from others. Ryce affirms that every person who steps into deeper Being amplifies the field for the world.

Susan then shares her own sense of transformation and feeling like a “new person.” This leads into an extended inquiry about Jeanie’s wake-up sheet examples in her book. Susan questions whether naming “my carbon-based memory self” as the trigger may confuse new readers, arguing that the CBM is what reacts, not what triggers. A long, thoughtful exchange follows. Jeanie explains her rationale and reads two of her worksheets aloud—one on hatred and murderous rage after discovering her husband’s infidelity, and another on blindness to truth. Ryce clarifies that multiple worksheets are always valid: one on the external trigger, others on internal patterns, each emotion, each projection. He states that doing a worksheet on one’s own CBM self is legitimate because the CBM is a “neighbor” to the true Self and can be treated as an object of attention. Susan emphasizes clarity for new readers; Jeanie acknowledges the point and considers expanding explanations so newcomers won’t misinterpret the tool as self-attack. The discussion is warm, precise, and collaborative, reflecting the work’s depth and the love among participants.

The hour closes with blessings, reflections on the meaning of holy days, and Ryce’s wish that everyone move into the new year with increasing wholeness and awareness of Love.
