On the April 22, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, the Forgiveness Doctor, delved into the ancient Aramaic teachings of Yeshua (Y’Shua), focusing on the true meaning of forgiveness and the profound impact of maintaining a human life through the presence of love. This episode, airing on Good Friday, provided an insightful exploration of the teachings often lost in translation from Aramaic to Greek and beyond, aiming to clarify the original context and significance of these teachings.

Dr. Ryce began by illustrating the complexities of translating idiomatic expressions, using a story about a Russian translator to highlight how literal translations can miss the true meaning. He explained that the Aramaic language, rich with idioms, often loses its intended meaning when translated into Greek and then English, leading to misunderstandings of Yeshua’s teachings.

The discussion centered on the Aramaic word “Rakhma,” translated as “love” in English. Dr. Ryce clarified that Rakhma refers to a filter in the frontal lobes of the brain that inoculates against hostility and fear, rather than an emotional feeling toward others. Maintaining Rakhma, he explained, is essential for living a human life, as it keeps the mind connected to love and free from the insanities of hostility and fear.

Dr. Ryce also addressed the significance of Good Friday, emphasizing that Yeshua’s purpose was not to inspire suffering and sacrifice but to demonstrate the power of a human life filled with love. He recounted the events leading up to and during the crucifixion, highlighting Yeshua’s unwavering presence of love even in the face of brutal torture. This demonstration, he argued, showed the transformative power of love and the ability to overcome death itself.

One of the key points discussed was the mistranslation of Yeshua’s last words on the cross. Dr. Ryce explained that the Aramaic phrase “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani” was mistranslated as “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” when it actually means “Ah, papa, papa, for this you set me aside,” indicating a realization and acceptance of his purpose rather than despair.

Dr. Ryce and the co-hosts, including Jeanie and Terry, shared personal experiences and insights about the benefits of living a life connected to love. Terry spoke about the improvements in his relationships, creativity, and self-love as a result of practicing forgiveness and maintaining Rakhma. Christine, a listener, shared her excitement about attending an Easter service for the first time in 25 years, despite past negative church experiences, and expressed gratitude for the insights shared on the show.

He emphasized the importance of transforming hostility and fear into love, creating a ripple effect that can change family dynamics and the world at large.

On the April 25, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, the Forgiveness Doctor, was joined by co-hosts David Hayes and Dr. Tim Hayes to discuss the principles of forgiveness and the teachings of Yeshua as interpreted from the ancient Aramaic language. The show, grounded in the work of Dr. Ryce’s book “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?”, focuses on understanding and applying forgiveness from a perspective that integrates science, theology, and Aramaic wisdom.

Dr. Tim Hayes and David Hayes began by reflecting on the previous Friday’s episode, where Dr. Ryce explained the true meaning behind Yeshua’s last words on the cross. Contrary to the Greek interpretation, which suggests despair and abandonment, the Aramaic translation reveals an intimate and enlightened understanding of his love and purpose. Yeshua’s words were not of forsakenness but of realization and affirmation of his divine purpose.

Dr. Ryce addressed a critical distinction between reality and actuality. He explained that our experiences and perceptions are subjective constructs of the mind, influenced by our thoughts, beliefs, and emotional states. These constructs can be likened to mirages, where our mind fills in gaps based on expectations, often leading to distorted perceptions when driven by hostility or fear.

A central theme of the discussion was the concept of “Rakhma,” an Aramaic term translated as “love.” Dr. Ryce emphasized that Rkchma represents a state of mind free from hostility and fear, allowing for the pure perception of love and truth. This state is essential for living a truly human life and is the antidote to the non-being mind that operates through hostility and fear.

The hosts shared personal stories and practical applications of these teachings. For instance, Dr. Tim Hayes recounted how positive expectations from parents and teachers can transform a child’s behavior, reinforcing the idea that the mind’s filter (whether love or fear) profoundly influences reality.

The episode also touched on dealing with children exhibiting anger and behavioral issues. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Hayes suggested that anger is often a secondary response to underlying pain or fear. They advocated for maintaining a loving presence to help dissolve the child’s hostility, providing a safe space for healing and transformation.

Julie Haverstick, author of “Healing Children, Loving Children,” and a former teacher, joined the show to share her experiences as a teacher who implemented these principles in her classroom. She recounted stories of children who transformed through the power of love and responsibility, highlighting the effectiveness of her innovative teaching methods that align with Dr. Ryce’s teachings.

Listeners were encouraged to utilize various resources available on Dr. Ryce’s website, including the “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?” book, forgiveness worksheets, and DVDs of workshops that provide deeper insights into these concepts.

The episode concluded with a call to embrace the active presence of love in every aspect of life. The hosts reiterated that true transformation begins with the individual, and by removing internal hostilities and fears through forgiveness, one can lead a more authentic and loving life.

On the April 26, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, the focus was on the process and importance of forgiveness, particularly from the perspective of the ancient Aramaic teachings. The show emphasized that true forgiveness involves clearing out one’s internal database of stored hostility and fear, rather than the commonly misunderstood concept of pardoning others for wrongs done.

The episode started with an introduction and a brief mention of technical issues due to traveling. Dr. Ryce explained the core idea of Aramaic forgiveness, which is to remove internal pain and fear rather than focusing on external sources of hurt. This contrasts with the Greek idea of forgiveness as letting someone off the hook for their actions.

Audrey from Buffalo, New York, called in with concerns about trust in her recently reconciled relationship. Dr. Ryce advised her to use the reality management worksheet available on his website to work through her internal issues, emphasizing that true forgiveness is an internal process.

Dr. Ryce shared a story about a woman who was abandoned at the altar and lived a life of bitterness as an example of how unresolved internal pain can dominate one’s life. He highlighted that true healing involves removing such pain through forgiveness.

Dr. Ryce and David Hayes discussed the benefits of forgiveness, such as improved relationships and personal peace. They reiterated that forgiveness should be about removing internal blocks rather than external actions. The hosts emphasized that taking responsibility for one’s feelings and using the right tools can lead to significant personal transformation.

Another caller, Dayu from Miami, shared her experience of dealing with deep-seated feelings of abandonment and her struggle to heal from them. Dr. Ryce guided her through an exercise to release attachments to her father, who had left when she was a child. He suggested that these early experiences could be processed through the forgiveness worksheets and other healing tools.

Throughout the show, Dr. Ryce and his co-hosts emphasized the importance of persistence in the forgiveness process, noting that deep-seated issues might require repeated efforts. They also stressed that the goal of forgiveness is to reconnect with one’s true nature, which is love.

The episode concluded with reminders about upcoming workshops and the availability of resources on the Why Again website. Listeners were encouraged to download the free materials, including the book “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?” and the forgiveness worksheets, to start their journey toward healing and living a life grounded in love.

On the April 27, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, the focus was on the power person dynamic and how it influences our behavior, especially under stress.

Dr. Ryce explained that a power person is someone who had more power over our lives than we did at a critical time, usually during childhood, and was not functioning out of love but out of hostility or fear. When we’re not stressed, we tend to behave in ways that got us along with our power person. As stress increases, we shift to behaviors we used to resist and survive the power person. Under extreme stress, we do what our power person did that we hated the most. For example, if a parent’s method of handling stress was through rage or leaving, the child might adopt these behaviors as their own under similar circumstances later in life.

Forgiveness, in the Aramaic sense, involves going inside oneself to change the internal dynamics rather than letting someone else off the hook for our internal pain. It’s about removing the stored hostility and fear within us. Dr. Ryce emphasized using the reality management worksheet available on his website to address internal issues. The worksheet helps individuals to systematically forgive and remove internal blocks.

The discussion also covered the shift from codependence to interdependence. Codependence involves blaming others for what we feel and experience, and needing others to change so we can feel better. In contrast, interdependence is about taking responsibility for our own feelings and working through our internal issues so we can engage in healthy relationships.

Caller Dayu shared her feelings of abandonment and the challenges of dealing with pre-verbal trauma. Dr. Ryce guided her through a process to release attachments to her father, who had left when she was very young, and suggested further forgiveness work to heal those deep-seated issues. Another caller, Richard, discussed his experience of feeling pain at a workshop and projecting it onto others. Dr. Ryce pointed out that this pain was his and guided him on how to use the forgiveness process to address it. He also highlighted Richard’s behavior of leaving when stressed, likely a pattern from his power person.

A key theme throughout the episode was the importance of taking responsibility for our own feelings and using tools like the forgiveness worksheet to process and release internal pain. Hostility is the most common drug of choice for dealing with stress. Moving away from it requires persistent work and forgiveness. Recognizing and understanding the behaviors of our power person helps in breaking the cycle and choosing healthier responses.

The episode concluded with a promise to continue discussing the power person dynamic in the next episode due to its complexity and the strong response from listeners. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to call in with their questions and to use the resources available on his website to further their understanding and healing process.

On the April 28, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, along with Dr. Tim and David, continued their discussion on codependence to interdependence. The show began with a warm welcome and an update on the beautiful weather in Las Vegas. Dr. Ryce and his team were gearing up for a series of free workshops in Nevada, covering topics such as “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?”, “Healing Through Relationships”, “Circle of Life and How to Play It”, and “Codependence to Interdependence”.

The conversation transitioned into the core topic of the day: the power person dynamic. Dr. Ryce explained that a power person is someone who, at some point, had more control over our lives than we did and was not functioning out of love but out of hostility or fear. This dynamic often leads to three types of behavior under stress: behaving to get along with the power person when stress is low, resisting and surviving with the power person when stress increases, and replicating the power person’s most hated behaviors under extreme stress. This understanding helps to explain why people often repeat negative patterns learned in childhood.

Dr. Ryce shared a poignant story about a man who, despite not wanting to, became physically abusive towards his children. Through a worksheet process, the man recalled a childhood incident where he and his friends vandalized a building, an event he had repressed. This repressed guilt and shame resurfaced when his children destroyed something, leading him to react abusively. This story illustrated how unresolved issues from our past can control our behavior in the present, emphasizing the importance of true forgiveness as taught in the ancient Aramaic language.

Dr. Ryce and Dr. Tim discussed the difference between the Greek concept of forgiveness—letting someone off the hook—and the Aramaic concept, which involves going inside oneself to remove the root of the pain. They stressed that true forgiveness is about removing the internal dynamics that cause pain, rather than just pardoning someone else’s actions. This process requires facing and removing the internalized power person dynamics to achieve genuine healing and change.

David and Jeanie also contributed to the discussion. Jeannie shared an email from a listener who had successfully used the worksheet process to improve their relationship with their son, demonstrating the practical effectiveness of these tools.

Dr. Ryce concluded by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to support listeners through MindShifters Radio and invited everyone to continue their journey of healing and transformation. He reminded the audience that true healing comes from within and encouraged them to use the tools available on the website, whyagain.com, to start their own process of forgiveness and self-improvement. The show ended with a promise to continue the discussion on the pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind in the next episode.

On April 29, 2011, MindShifters Radio welcomed listeners to another session focused on the ancient Aramaic concept of forgiveness with Dr. Michael Ryce, known as the Forgiveness Doctor. Dr. Ryce emphasized the difference between the cultural understanding of forgiveness and the ancient Aramaic idea. The show continued its discussion on transitioning from codependence to interdependence, a theme from previous episodes. The discussion explored how codependence stems from blaming others for our internal experiences and highlighted the importance of returning to our original state of love and being.

Dr. Ryce explained the pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind, such as trying to figure out why things happen and seeking approval by being “good enough.” He noted that true satisfaction and happiness come from reconnecting with our essence of love rather than seeking external validation. The discussion touched on the importance of forgiveness as a tool for removing internal pain and hostility, not merely pardoning others. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to use the Reality Management Worksheet, available on his website, to begin the process of Aramaic forgiveness and achieve true healing.

Throughout the show, listeners engaged with questions and comments, seeking clarity on the forgiveness process and how it differs from traditional notions. Dr. Ryce and Jeanie provided insights into how forgiveness works internally to remove the root causes of emotional pain. They emphasized that true forgiveness involves addressing and dissolving the internal content that generates pain, rather than simply letting others off the hook.

The show also featured calls from listeners like Chef Ari, who shared his experiences and insights on forgiveness and fixing things in life. Richard from Ithaca, New York, also called in to share his journey and the practical application of the forgiveness process in dealing with everyday challenges. The show concluded with a reiteration of the importance of engaging in the forgiveness process, doing the internal work necessary to transform and heal, and embracing the active presence of love in our lives.
