May 02, 2011 | first half was a discussion of holding the space of love for our fellow human-beings and our planet (instead of focusing/celebrating the killings in the world) and followed by the continued discussion of the non-being pseudo solutions to “fixing our issues” – Upper Path In-to-me-see (intimacy) verses Lower Path sexual athletics.
On May 2, 2011, Dr. Michael Ryce hosted another episode of MindShifters Radio, focusing on the ancient Aramaic concept of forgiveness. Dr. Ryce, known as the Forgiveness Doctor, explained that true forgiveness involves a deeper internal process of healing, contrary to the common cultural understanding of simply pardoning others. He emphasized that this internal process of forgiveness allows individuals to remove hidden parts of their mind that cause pain and suffering, thus bringing forward their true expression of a human life. The goal is to reestablish the original idea of forgiveness for every mind, heart, and being on the planet. Dr. Ryce shared insights from his location near Mount Charleston, Nevada, describing the beautiful desert environment. He introduced Dr. Tim, a psychologist from Crystal Lake, Illinois, who runs a support group using Dr. Ryce’s tools. Dr. Tim recounted how group members often discover shared issues, leading to collective healing experiences. They discussed the profound impact of focusing on love and the power of forgiveness in transforming lives, even in the face of global events like the death of Osama bin Laden. Dr. Ryce reiterated the importance of moving from codependence to interdependence, highlighting pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind, such as trying to control others or seeking satisfaction through external means. He encouraged listeners to use the Reality Management Worksheet available on his website to practice Aramaic forgiveness. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Tim also discussed the significance of bringing love into every interaction and how this can transform relationships and experiences, including physical intimacy. Listeners engaged in the conversation through the chat room and call-ins, seeking clarity on various topics, including the distinction between sex and intimacy when love is present. Dr. Ryce explained that true intimacy involves a deeper connection and celebration of relationship, rather than just physical acts. He highlighted that living from a state of being, rather than doing, allows individuals to experience the true essence of love and life. The show concluded with a reminder that true healing and satisfaction come from reclaiming one’s human life through forgiveness. Dr. Ryce emphasized that by collapsing constructs based in hostility and fear, individuals can experience the active presence of love, leading to profound transformations in their lives. He encouraged listeners to visit the website, download the forgiveness worksheets, and participate in the upcoming codependence workshop to further their healing journey. |
May 03, 2011 | continued discussion of the non-being pseudo solutions to “fixing our issues” – CoDependence and Power Person issues
On May 3, 2011, Dr. Michael Ryce hosted an episode of MindShifters Radio, focusing on the topic of codependence and the ancient Aramaic process of forgiveness. Dr. Ryce emphasized that true forgiveness involves an internal process of identifying and changing the hidden parts of our minds that cause pain, rather than simply letting others off the hook. He encouraged listeners to visit his website to download worksheets that explain and guide the forgiveness process. During the episode, Dr. Ryce discussed the pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind, which include projecting one’s pain onto others and blaming them for it. He highlighted that this approach does not resolve the underlying issues and keeps individuals stuck in a cycle of pain and turmoil. Instead, he urged listeners to take responsibility for their own pain and use forgiveness to heal it from within. Dr. Ryce shared insights about the impact of unresolved pain on our lives and relationships, stressing that healing involves facing and transforming these internal issues. The show included interactions with callers and chat room participants. One caller, Heather, shared her struggles with a recent conflict and its connection to childhood trauma. Dr. Ryce provided guidance on using the forgiveness process to address these deep-seated issues and offered support for dealing with associated feelings of rage and addiction. He also discussed the importance of building a supportive community for healing and the transformative power of applying forgiveness to both personal and familial patterns. Throughout the episode, Dr. Ryce underscored the importance of living from a state of being rather than doing, and how this shift can lead to profound changes in one’s experience of life and relationships. He encouraged listeners to continue their healing journey, offering resources and support through his workshops and online materials. |
May 04, 2011 | continued discussion of the Power Person and behaviors learned in interaction with our Power Person and how just one generation has been able to make a shift with these tools
On May 4, 2011, Dr. Michael Ryce hosted another episode of MindShifters Radio, continuing the ongoing discussion about codependency and power people. The call-in number was provided, and listeners were encouraged to join the conversation via phone or the chat room. During the show, Dr. Ryce and his co-hosts, Dr. Tim and David, discussed the growing understanding and application of forgiveness tools among their audience. They shared stories of individuals experiencing significant breakthroughs by consistently using the reality management worksheets. For example, Dr. Tim mentioned how a person suggested creating a spiral-bound workbook for the worksheets, which had encouraged more people to use them regularly. Dr. Ryce highlighted a story about a medical assistant who, after learning about the forgiveness process, had completed 28 worksheets in just a few days. This individual experienced a profound transformation, including reaching out compassionately to others, such as offering food to a beggar and doing a worksheet with him. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for one’s own healing and using the forgiveness process to address internal issues. Terry and David, also part of the conversation, shared their experiences of growing up in environments where their fathers handled stress through anger or avoidance. They contrasted this with the healthier dynamics they now strive to create in their own lives and families, showcasing the shift from codependence to interdependence. A significant part of the discussion focused on the power of holding space for oneself and others during the healing process. Dr. Ryce provided practical advice on how to handle difficult interactions by focusing on one’s own internal reactions and doing the necessary forgiveness work. He encouraged a caller, Dayu, to recognize and address her own feelings of imbalance and resentment rather than focusing on the perceived negativity of another person. The show also included a conversation about the fear of letting go and the belief that fear is necessary for protection. Dr. Ryce explained that fear attracts the very things one is afraid of and suggested shifting from fear to faith. He emphasized that maintaining the presence of love and using forgiveness to remove fear can lead to profound personal and relational healing. Overall, the episode emphasized the transformative power of forgiveness, personal responsibility, and the importance of creating supportive, interdependent relationships. Dr. Ryce and his co-hosts encouraged listeners to continue their healing journeys, use the tools provided, and invite others to join the conversation for collective growth and support. |
May 05, 2011 | address the issue of victim or volunteer for what comes to us and the final pseudo solution in Co-Dependence
Mind Shifters Radio on May 5, 2011, welcomed listeners with Dr. Michael Ryce, known as the Forgiveness Doctor, and his co-host Jeanie. The show began with a reminder of the call-in number and an invitation for email participation. Michael greeted listeners and introduced the day’s topic: the ancient Aramaic technology of forgiveness. Jeanne brought up questions from the previous show, starting with a call from Dayu, a healer concerned about taking on others’ energy. Michael clarified that what one feels is their own and explained the importance of processing these feelings for healing. A chat room participant raised concerns about healers being attacked and burdened with negative energy. Michael addressed this by discussing how projecting pain onto others makes resolution impossible. He emphasized that true healing requires acknowledging and owning one’s pain. He elaborated on how past experiences with significant authority figures, or “power persons,” shape our current reactions and stressed the importance of breaking these patterns through forgiveness. Arlene, a caller from Orlando, sought insight into her ex-boyfriend’s intentions during his visit. Michael redirected her to another show for psychic insights but offered practical advice on using the forgiveness process to avoid repeating past dynamics. He suggested visiting their website for forgiveness worksheets and listening to the February 22nd archive for detailed guidance. Pam from Missouri called in about her daughter’s friend, Micah, suffering from an undiagnosed condition affecting her feet. Michael linked physical ailments to emotional issues and advised exploring forgiveness to address underlying support and understanding issues. He also shared insights on how language reflects and reinforces our physical and emotional state, urging a mindful approach to healing. The show also featured a Skype call from Les in the UK, discussing their upcoming visit to Heartland, a center for teaching and healing based on the show’s principles. The conversation highlighted the value of integrating community-building processes with the forgiveness work promoted by Michael and Jeanie. The show concluded with Michael reiterating the importance of engaging in the forgiveness process to transform life experiences positively. |
May 06, 2011 | let’s move into Inter-Dependence
Mind Shifters Radio on May 6, 2011, began with Dr. Michael Ryce welcoming listeners and discussing whether to continue their week-long exploration of codependence. The central theme was the ancient Aramaic concept of forgiveness, which is applied to one’s own mind rather than someone else. Dr. Ryce highlighted the importance of changing internal dynamics that manifest as external circumstances. Dr. Ryce engaged with his co-hosts, David, Tim, and Terry, sharing their insights and experiences. Tim mentioned a challenging case where a person refused to accept that their emotions were self-created, illustrating the difficulty some people have in taking responsibility for their feelings. This led to a discussion on the power person dynamic, where individuals unconsciously replicate behaviors learned from a dominant figure in their past, usually a parent. Dr. Ryce explained that when stress levels rise, people default to behaviors learned from their power person. He emphasized the need to cancel goals linked to these power person dynamics to move from codependence to interdependence. By canceling these goals, individuals collapse their dissociated mind, allowing them to access and heal buried traumas. Jeanie shared a listener’s question about helping a resistant partner engage in their own healing process. Dr. Ryce advised that change begins with oneself and that by doing personal work and holding the space of love, partners may eventually become interested in their own healing. He outlined four potential responses from partners when one begins their healing journey: supportive engagement, passive support, increased hostility, or departure. The conversation also addressed the issue of leaving relationships. Dr. Ryce noted that a tendency to leave is often rooted in power person dynamics, and true healing requires removing leaving as an option and facing the underlying issues. The show highlighted the importance of community and support groups in the healing process. Dr. Ryce shared that Dr. Stephen Androcki, who incorporates forgiveness worksheets into his medical practice, would co-host the next show to discuss the intersection of medicine, forgiveness, and healing. The episode concluded with a focus on shifting from codependence to interdependence by recognizing the purpose of relationships to reveal and heal unconscious traumas. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to engage in the forgiveness process and to see their relationships as opportunities for growth and healing, ultimately aiming to live from a place of love and being. |
May 09, 2011 | 12-Steps to Inter-Dependence – steps 1 through 6
MindShifters Radio on May 9, 2011, featured Dr. Michael Ryce discussing the transition from codependence to interdependence through 12 key steps. The program began with co-host Jeanie introducing the new week’s focus and providing contact information for listeners to participate via call-in or email. Dr. Ryce emphasized the purpose of the body-mind unit as a servant meant to embody love, not to be the master. He discussed the need to retrain the body-mind unit to support being instead of perpetuating generational hostility and fear. True forgiveness, he explained, involves collapsing projections and dealing directly with one’s own issues. This differs from the traditional view of letting others off the hook for one’s pain. Shifting the purpose of relationships was another key point. Dr. Ryce highlighted the importance of viewing relationships as opportunities to reveal and heal inner truths rather than sources of external validation or blame. He encouraged making relationships a safe space for mutual support in addressing internal garbage. He further explained the necessity of bringing unconscious dynamics into conscious awareness to prevent them from running one’s life. This involves using responsibility communication to self-correct when stress arises. Additionally, Dr. Ryce introduced an exercise from the codependence worksheet where individuals list advice they would give to others and then apply that advice to themselves. This step fosters self-awareness and personal growth. The sixth step involves a daily commitment to doing the work of forgiveness and self-correction. This ongoing practice is crucial for moving from a state of codependence to one of interdependence. Dr. Tim Hayes and David McCumber joined the discussion, sharing their experiences and insights from their own practice and the work at Heartland. Dr. Ryce referenced the Aramaic teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) and how they align with the process of moving from codependence to interdependence, particularly focusing on the importance of internal purity and light. Tim highlighted the concept of premature positive thinking and the importance of facing and dismantling negative constructs rather than ignoring them. David shared his personal journey and the importance of breathwork in the healing process, emphasizing the role of still-point breathing in releasing emotional baggage. Dr. Ryce concluded the show by reinforcing the importance of daily commitment to personal work and inviting listeners to continue their journey towards interdependence. He encouraged bringing new participants to the show and dedicated the program to supporting individuals in creating the best year yet of their eternal life. |
May 10, 2011 | Began talking about Inter-Dependence but Spirit took over – call ins from Terry, Sam and Julie – each discuss their experiences with clearing energy that was generational and moving toward InterDependence.
MindShifters Radio on May 10, 2011 featured Dr. Michael Ryce continuing the discussion on the 12 steps to interdependence, focusing on the last six steps. Jeanie introduced the program and provided the call-in number for listeners. Dr. Ryce began by reiterating the importance of developing the skills to navigate and clean out the body-mind unit. He emphasized that denial and dissociation prevent healing and keep individuals stuck in repetitive patterns of blame and pain. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to visit their website, www.whyagain.com, to download worksheets and access resources like the seven-step reality management process. He also recommended listening to the February 22nd archive where Pamela Gregory was guided through a forgiveness worksheet. Terry Bowling, an artist and project coordinator at Heartland, called in to share his experiences with guilt and remorse. Dr. Ryce explained how society trains individuals to blame others for their pain and the importance of retraining the body-mind unit to support love instead of hostility and fear. He referenced ancient teachings, noting how energy patterns are passed down through generations and how essential it is to develop the skill to access and heal these patterns. Terry shared a recent experience with his son, highlighting the interdependent relationship they have developed through this work. His son had been able to support him through a difficult moment, and in turn, Terry supported his son through a similar situation. This exchange exemplified the move from codependence to interdependence, where both parties take responsibility for their own healing. Dr. Ryce then introduced the next steps in the 12 steps to interdependence. He reiterated the importance of commitment to daily work on forgiveness and self-correction, and how this ongoing practice is crucial for true interdependence. He emphasized that true healing involves addressing and releasing the energy stored in the body, which is often passed down from previous generations. Sam Broderton called in to share a personal story about a traumatic memory that surfaced during a workshop. She described how understanding and processing these cellular memories were pivotal in her healing journey. Dr. Ryce encouraged Sam to revisit the memory and continue her healing process by holding the space for her ancestors to let go of their pain. Julie Haverstick also shared her experience with a major healing crisis during an intensive at Heartland. She described how a past life memory surfaced, which helped her release a significant amount of pain and fear that had been inhibiting her ability to teach and speak publicly. This experience profoundly impacted her, allowing her to move forward with greater confidence and ease. Dr. Ryce concluded the show by emphasizing the importance of community support in the healing process. He announced upcoming workshops and intensives, inviting listeners to join and continue their journey toward interdependence. He encouraged everyone to bring new participants to the show and to commit to creating the best year yet of their eternal life. |
May 11, 2011 | Dr. Stephen Androcki co-hosts with michael – Healing through Modern Medicine and Forgiveness
On May 11, 2011, MindShifters Radio featured Dr. Michael Ryce, known as the Forgiveness Doctor, along with special co-host Dr. Stephen Androcki. The episode explored the intersection of medical practice and the process of forgiveness. Dr. Androcki, who has been prescribing forgiveness to his patients, discussed his unique approach to medicine, highlighting how mental and emotional health directly impacts physical health. Dr. Androcki emphasized that many medical conditions, such as depression, stress, and insomnia, often have underlying emotional causes. He explained that unresolved issues and negative emotions can exacerbate physical ailments, making it clear that a holistic approach to health is essential. This approach includes not only addressing physical symptoms but also delving into the emotional and psychological factors contributing to the patient’s condition. One of the key topics discussed was the process of forgiveness as taught by Dr. Michael Ryce. This method involves becoming conscious of and addressing hidden fears, griefs, and rages. Dr. Androcki shared a success story of a patient with severe back pain who experienced complete relief after participating in workshops and addressing emotional issues. The show also covered the importance of patients taking responsibility for their own health. Dr. Androcki noted that many patients expect a quick fix from medications, but true healing often requires personal work and a willingness to address deeper issues. He highlighted that the mind’s role in controlling the body means that mental work can significantly improve physical health. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Androcki discussed the resistance many people have to doing internal work and the tendency to seek external solutions. They pointed out that effective healing requires a shift from a victim mentality to taking responsibility for one’s own health and well-being. This approach can lead to dramatic improvements in both mental and physical health. Throughout the episode, the hosts encouraged listeners to explore the forgiveness process and other tools available on the website www.whyagain.com. They emphasized the transformative power of this work in improving overall health and quality of life. The discussion underscored the need for a more integrated approach to health care, one that considers the profound connection between mind and body. |
May 12, 2011 | 12-Steps to Inter-Dependence continues – steps 7 through 10 – dynamics of Power Person and what runs our life and how to change that dynamic
On May 12, 2011, MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, continued its exploration of interdependence and the 12 steps to achieving it. The episode opened with a brief recap of the previous day’s show, which featured Dr. Stephen Androcki discussing modern medicine and forgiveness. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of listening to this episode in the archives to understand the connection between medical practice and the healing process. The main focus of the day was the second half of the 12 steps to interdependent relationships. Dr. Ryce reiterated the first six steps before delving into the remaining ones. He highlighted the need for individuals to embody love and move beyond the codependent mindset, where external factors are blamed for internal experiences. He stressed the importance of collapsing projections through forgiveness, shifting the purpose of relationships to support healing, and coming into conscious relationship with all parts of oneself. Dr. Ryce explained that societal errors and personal errors in thought need to be addressed for true healing. He spoke about the necessity of loving truth and examining one’s thoughts and societal influences. A significant part of this journey involves understanding that hostility and fear distort perceptions and create a false reality. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the presence of love, even when facing difficult emotions or situations. An essential aspect of interdependence is learning to process emotions without relying on external validation or falling into victimhood. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to seek support from others who can hold a loving space for them when they are unable to do so themselves. He also discussed the importance of being willing to let go of one’s story and the ego’s need to be right, which often perpetuates suffering. The episode concluded with an invitation for listeners to engage with the forgiveness worksheets available on www.whyagain.com. These tools are designed to help individuals collapse their dissociated minds, address unconscious dynamics, and move towards interdependence. Dr. Ryce urged listeners to commit to this daily practice to transform their lives and achieve lasting healing. |
May 13, 2011 | 12-Steps to Inter-Dependence continues – steps 11 and 12 – stop doing what you feel like doing, guilt precedes behavior, EGO
On the May 13, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and co-host Jeanie discussed moving from codependence to interdependence. Dr. Ryce explained that codependence involves blaming others for our internal state, making situations unresolvable. He highlighted that our reactions and behaviors in adulthood often stem from childhood dynamics with a “power person”—a significant figure who had more control over us at some point. This person, often a parent, influenced the formation of a false self, which must be dismantled for true self-realization. The conversation also addressed the importance of the 11th step in interdependence, which involves stopping behaviors driven by unconscious thoughts and instead choosing to live by conscious principles. Dr. Ryce emphasized that feelings are shadows of thoughts, and to live a principled life, one must engage in the forgiveness process to clear unconscious dynamics. This involves recognizing and forgiving feelings based in hostility or fear, which allows for the collapse of the dissociated mind and a return to the true self. David, a listener and participant in the show, shared his experiences with the work and the value he finds in continuous learning and practice. He spoke about his commitment to healing, especially as a Vietnam veteran aware of the high rates of suicide among veterans. The discussion touched on the importance of facing and forgiving past traumas to prevent them from running one’s life. Towards the end of the show, a caller named Tom Dayton asked about the subconscious and its relation to the ego. Dr. Ryce clarified the distinctions between the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind, and stressed the importance of forgiveness in removing the false self. He advised against relying solely on hypnosis for this work and encouraged engaging in the forgiveness process. Jeanie also mentioned the importance of archived shows for continued support and learning, emphasizing that listeners can re-listen to build new brain cells and deepen their understanding. |
May 16, 2011 | Critical Mass of Consciousness – it would only take a small number to make the change in all of humanity. Incarnate Love!
On the May 16, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, known as the Forgiveness Doctor, and his co-host Jeanie started a new week by reflecting on the importance of forgiveness as understood in the Aramaic language. Dr. Ryce reiterated that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook for causing us pain, but a tool for changing what is happening inside us. He emphasized the importance of understanding this ancient technology to avoid the repetitive cycle of negative experiences. The discussion highlighted the difference between codependence and interdependence, urging listeners to own their emotions and behaviors rather than blame others. This process involves recognizing and forgiving the dissociated parts of our minds that influence our thoughts and actions. Dr. Ryce invited listeners to download the forgiveness worksheets from his website and start applying these principles in their lives. David and Tim, regular contributors to the show, shared their insights on the healing power of love and the importance of support groups. David emphasized the idea that we are ready to handle whatever challenges come our way, as we are always being prepared for the next step in our healing journey. Tim spoke about the growing interest in starting new support groups, which is a testament to the effectiveness of these teachings. A caller, Sam, shared a poignant story about helping a friend through a traumatic experience by applying the principles of love and forgiveness. She described her journey from a traumatic past to a place of peace and contentment, crediting the teachings of Dr. Ryce and the continuous application of the forgiveness process. Her story illustrated the profound impact of shifting from a state of denial to one of ownership and healing. The episode concluded with a discussion on the critical mass needed to shift the collective consciousness towards love and away from hostility and fear. Dr. Ryce reiterated that as we embody love and clear out non-loving energies, we influence not only ourselves but also the world around us, including animals and the environment. |
May 17, 2011 | We are One – we are NOT separate beings. Controlled by “oota” brain cells – unconscious part of the mind?
On May 17, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio the first caller from Santa Clara, California, expressed feeling an unusual energy in their home. The hosts redirected them to a show that might better address such concerns, as MindShifters focuses on ancient Aramaic concepts of forgiveness rather than psychic phenomena. The main topic of discussion then shifted to the Aramaic idea of “oota,” which pertains to unconscious control over perception and behavior. Dr. Tim, a psychologist from Crystal Lake, shared insights from his mind shifter support group, emphasizing the importance of understanding separation and oneness. He addressed comments from the chat room about judgment and the misconception that moving towards love makes one superior to others. Dr. Tim and the host Michael Ryce discussed the illusion of separation and how it contributes to judgment and hostility. They referenced Albert Einstein’s quote on the delusion of separation and explored how forgiveness and love can transform one’s perception and behavior. They highlighted the need to clear all forms of hostility and fear within oneself to foster a loving and inclusive mindset. The hosts also recommended watching the film “I Am” by Tom Shadyak, which explores themes of interconnectedness and the pitfalls of consumerism. They appreciated how the film aligns with their message of oneness and the importance of living out of love. The show concluded with an open invitation to listeners to engage in the process of forgiveness as taught in the Aramaic tradition, encouraging them to visit the MindShifters website for resources and worksheets to assist in their journey towards love and healing. |
May 18, 2011 | Three filters in the mind over intentions: Rakhma (Love), or Fear, or Hostility. Hostility shows irritation, Fear shows threatening, Love shows only what is Loving. What reality are you seeing? Which filter are you using? You are in charge and can change it.
On the May 18, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, the show began with co-host Janie welcoming listeners and invited callers to engage in discussions about the ancient Aramaic technology of true forgiveness and the transformative power it holds in changing lives by removing internalized pain, trauma, and hostility. The conversation took a significant turn when a first-time caller, Corey, shared his recent breakthrough experience after a session with Sam Brotherton, a practitioner of the forgiveness work. Corey described his initial skepticism and how his session led him to profound realizations about himself. This sparked a discussion on the power of self-discovery and healing through forgiveness, highlighting the importance of willingness to face inner issues. Sam called in to elaborate on Corey’s experience, explaining how his initial resistance transformed into a significant breakthrough when he recognized his self-judgment. She emphasized the value of support in the forgiveness process and how crucial it is for individuals to take responsibility for their healing. Sam also shared a powerful analogy, likening the self to a mansion filled with garbage that needs to be cleaned out to realize its true value. The show continued with a call from Lisa, who shared her experience of reading “My Commitment” in court to her ex-husband and others present. This act demonstrated her commitment to love and transformation despite external adversities. Her story underscored the show’s message that true change begins within oneself. Throughout the episode, the hosts and callers reinforced the central theme: the journey of healing and transformation through forgiveness is deeply personal and requires commitment and willingness to confront and release internalized negativity. The show concluded with a reminder of the continuous support available through their community and resources, encouraging listeners to engage actively in their healing journeys. |
May 19, 2011 | Dr. Tim Hayes shares a recent experience of the activation of the Power Person dynamic when ultra-stressed. Discussion of the Power Person and Unconsciousness.
On the May 19, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, co-hosts Michael Ryce, Tim, and David continued the discussion on forgiveness, unconscious behavior, and power dynamics from the previous episode. Michael welcomed Tim, who shared his recent experiences and insights gained from doing a series of worksheets. He described a significant period of unconsciousness triggered by stress and unresolved issues. Tim detailed his struggle with emotional responses and how working through multiple worksheets led to realizations about his behaviors and fears. Despite not feeling immediate relief, Tim woke up the next day feeling lighter, indicating the work’s impact. The conversation delved into the dynamics of power persons—figures in one’s life who had control over their survival but did not function from love. Michael and Tim explained how high stress often leads individuals to revert to behaviors learned from their power persons, often unconsciously. Tim shared how his unconscious response mirrored his father’s behavior of retreating and shutting down under stress. This understanding led to deeper self-awareness and improvement in his relationship. The show also touched on the concept of being ripped off from one’s birthright—the right to experience and express love fully. Michael explained that many people’s experiences with hostility and fear from early life rob them of this birthright. The hosts encouraged listeners to engage in forgiveness work to reclaim their inherent nature as beings of love. Listeners in the chat room questioned the possibility of not having a power person and whether God could be considered a power person. Michael clarified that power persons are usually caregivers who did not function from love, and while God represents pure love, the perception of God as a fearful figure could create a power person dynamic. Richard, a new community member at Heartland, called in to share his excitement about joining and building a home there. Michael acknowledged the importance of community support in the healing process and the benefits of engaging in forgiveness work collectively. The episode emphasized the complexity of inner work, the significance of understanding and addressing unconscious behaviors, and the transformative power of forgiveness. The hosts encouraged listeners to continue exploring these themes through worksheets and community support. |
May 20, 2011 | Consciously making choices. Tim and Terry both share a breakthrough. Unconscious dynamics run automatically until faced and we walk through the other side to connectedness.
On the May 20, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, co-hosts Dr. Tim and David, engaged in a profound discussion on unconscious behavior, the influence of power persons, and the process of forgiveness. Michael began the episode by calling in from a scenic location during his drive, describing the beautiful surroundings and pleasant weather. Dr. Tim reflected on his previous experiences, particularly focusing on his father as a power person and the unconscious behaviors he learned from him, such as emotional suppression and the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism. Tim shared his ongoing efforts to stay conscious in his emotional responses and relationships, emphasizing the challenges and breakthroughs he encountered. Terry called in to share a significant personal breakthrough he experienced the previous night. He described an intense episode of guilt and fear, which he worked through using worksheets, prayer, and breathing exercises. This process led him to a powerful realization that he had been his own punisher, a pattern rooted in deep-seated beliefs and generational influences. The next morning, he woke up feeling connected to love, contrasting with his usual feelings of impending doom. Michael elaborated on the concept of the multi-generational database, explaining how our body-mind units store thoughts, feelings, and experiences from previous generations. He emphasized the importance of forgiveness work in accessing and correcting these ingrained patterns, aiming to clear corrupt data and make room for the presence of love. This ongoing work involves facing and healing deep-seated patterns, which can be intense but ultimately rewarding. The conversation highlighted the importance of support and accountability in the healing process. Terry’s commitment to doing ten worksheets a day, supported by David and the Heartland community, played a crucial role in his progress. The hosts stressed that continuous use of tools like worksheets, breathing exercises, and prayer, along with community support, are key to achieving lasting transformation. Michael also discussed the concept of incarnation, explaining it as embodying the active presence of love. He noted that each step towards living from love brings up layers of hostility and fear that need to be addressed. The journey towards transformation involves continuous growth and a commitment to practicing forgiveness and self-awareness. The episode concluded with an emphasis on the importance of community support and the continuous commitment to personal growth in achieving a life filled with love and connection. Listeners were encouraged to engage with the forgiveness tools and reach out for support in their healing journeys. |
May 23, 2011 | A brief explanation of true forgiveness. Q: Can another person place a curse on us? A: We are in charge of what lands in our space but it is an opportunity to heal our hostility or fear.
On the May 23, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and his co-host Jeanie, along with Dr. Tim Hayes and David Hayes, explored the many facets of forgiveness. The episode featured discussions about a new integration of forgiveness into yoga practice, where participants would identify and release bodily tensions while working through emotional and mental worksheets. Michael shared insights on the deeper meaning of forgiveness, distinguishing it from the common cultural interpretation of simply pardoning others. He emphasized that true forgiveness involves removing internal emotional disturbances such as fear, hostility, and grief that arise from within. This concept, originating from Aramaic teachings, suggests that our experiences and responses are created internally, not by external events. Dr. Tim Hayes reflected on his recent emotional processing, highlighting his realization of the unconscious fear of losing connections in relationships. This insight was achieved through a combination of worksheets and still-point breathing, demonstrating the effectiveness of these tools in uncovering and addressing deep-seated emotional patterns. The episode also touched on the notion of the multi-generational database, explaining how our body-mind units store thoughts and experiences from previous generations. Michael discussed the importance of facing and removing these inherited patterns to prevent them from dictating our lives. The process of forgiveness was presented as a way to clear out these old patterns, allowing for a more loving and connected existence.

May 25, 2011 | Being (Love) is always in tact! You are not identified with your issues. If I identify myself as something (anything) then I limit myself. Let it go – cancel! Aramaic Forgiveness. Discussion of “right” and “wrong”
On the May 25, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie, Dr. Tim Hayes, and David Hayes continued their exploration of the internal process of forgiveness. Broadcasting from Charleston View, Nevada, Dr. Ryce welcomed listeners and emphasized the importance of forgiveness as a tool for removing internal pain. Dr. Tim Hayes shared an analogy to illustrate the concept of identity and essence, explaining that a person’s essence of love remains intact regardless of physical or emotional trauma. He emphasized that identifying with anything limits oneself and blocks further learning. The discussion centered on the idea that forgiveness is about dismantling false identities and returning to the essence of love. Jeanie facilitated questions from listeners and comments from the chat room. One listener, Lady Jane, shared her experience of holding a space of love during a conversation with a neighbor who had different religious beliefs. She noted the importance of maintaining love without getting into arguments about right and wrong. Nene Ortega, a dedicated practitioner of the forgiveness tools, called in to share her transformative experiences. She described how using the tools had positively impacted her relationships and professional life, leading to significant changes. Nene’s story highlighted the practical benefits of applying these tools in various aspects of life. David Hayes contributed by discussing the importance of taking responsibility for one’s life and the role of forgiveness in achieving true healing. He emphasized that forgiveness begins internally and is crucial for personal growth. Dr. Ryce reiterated the importance of dealing with past traumas through forgiveness. He explained that holding on to past traumas creates an instruction set for the mind, leading to repeated patterns of pain. By using the forgiveness process, individuals can remove these traumas and create new, positive experiences. Jeanie shared updates about their work in translating forgiveness tools into Spanish and the upcoming workshops in Oregon. The episode concluded with an invitation for listeners to engage with the forgiveness tools available on their website and to join future workshops and events. |
May 26, 2011 | Is going unconscious better than getting angry or is it the same thing?
On the May 26, 2011, episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, Dr. Tim Hayes, and Richard engaged in a deep exploration of forgiveness and personal growth. The show started with Dr. Ryce addressing the concept of insanity, defining it as functioning with something less than love in the mind or heart, and emphasizing the goal of putting an end to this insanity through forgiveness. Dr. Tim Hayes shared a recent experience from his support group, where he realized he had gone unconscious during a conflict. He discussed the fear and challenges associated with letting go of control and allowing oneself to be acted upon by love. Dr. Ryce highlighted the importance of inviting love into one’s life and the distinction between self-esteem and source-esteem, focusing on the active presence of love. Nene Ortega called in to share her insights on canceling the need to be right and how this practice had brought her more peace in relationships. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Hayes discussed how holding on to the need to be right limits one’s ability to experience love and how letting go can create space for healing. Richard joined the conversation, recalling a traumatic incident from his childhood and how it had impacted his life. He expressed interest in learning more about the forgiveness tools and breathing techniques used in Dr. Ryce’s work. Dr. Ryce explained how traumas are stored energetically in the body and the importance of processing and releasing these energies. A significant portion of the discussion revolved around the difference between true forgiveness and the ego’s version of forgiveness. Dr. Ryce used Dr. Hayes’ recent experience as an example to illustrate how true forgiveness involves reaching into oneself and removing the internalized pain, rather than simply pardoning others for their actions. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to visit their website, www.whyagain.com, and download the available worksheets to begin practicing true forgiveness. He emphasized the importance of using these tools to manage and remove internalized energies that create pain and suffering, ultimately leading to a more loving and fulfilling life. |
May 27, 2011 | What kind of mind would turn LOVE into something less? Discussions of life changing events and this work – guest Ron Bleakney. Punishment given in the name of Y’Shua? How to maintain a human life. The First Law is to maintain the condition of Love in your mind. Reality verses Actuality.
On the May 27, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, David, and Ron Bleakney engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about forgiveness, punishment, and the impact of cultural practices on personal and collective well-being. David shared insights from a documentary on solitary confinement, highlighting its severe psychological effects and the ongoing practice under the term “administrative segregation.” Despite evidence that solitary confinement leads to insanity and increased violence, it is still widely practiced. David emphasized how this practice reflects broader societal tendencies to isolate and punish rather than heal and rehabilitate. Dr. Ryce discussed how cultural and religious practices often promote separation and punishment, contrary to the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus). He emphasized the importance of maintaining love in our hearts and minds when thinking of God, our neighbors, and ourselves, and how deviation from this principle leads to insanity and post-traumatic stress disorder. He argued that true forgiveness involves removing internalized pain and hostility, rather than simply pardoning others for their actions. Ron Bleakney shared his personal journey of transformation through the forgiveness work he began after attending Dr. Ryce’s workshops. He described how the work helped him overcome alcohol addiction, heal his relationships, and create a loving, supportive family environment. His story underscored the power of forgiveness in changing one’s life trajectory. Ron’s journey demonstrated the profound impact of forgiveness on personal growth and healing. Dr. Ryce illustrated the distinction between reality and actuality using the example of two young men with different experiences of markers. One’s positive and the other’s negative reaction to a marker demonstrated how personal histories and unresolved traumas shape our perceptions and reactions. This example highlighted the importance of recognizing and healing these internal realities through forgiveness. He encouraged listeners to visit the website (www.whyagain.com) to download worksheets and learn about the forgiveness process. This tool helps individuals identify and remove hostile and fearful content from their minds, leading to more loving and fulfilling lives. The show concluded with a reminder of the importance of doing the inner work to remove hostilities and fears, thereby creating a more loving and sane world. Dr. Ryce emphasized that this process is essential for personal healing and for fostering a culture rooted in love and compassion. |
May 30, 2011 | Memorial Day 2011. How can we best Memorialize and Honor those who have fallen or served in war? Answer is today’s discussion: Give the gift to do something to step into healing ourselves to create critical mass for peace. When we hold hostility and fear we contribute to the energy of more war. Wars are also internal and within families and communities, not just between nations.
On the May 30, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, David, and guest host Carol Guy marked Memorial Day with a profound discussion on the theme of forgiveness, particularly focusing on the experiences of veterans. Michael Ryce emphasized the concept of Aramaic forgiveness, highlighting how it differs from the conventional understanding of forgiveness. He explained that true forgiveness involves removing internalized hostility and fear, which do not belong in the human mind. Michael encouraged listeners to visit the WhyAgain website to access tools and worksheets designed to facilitate this process. David shared his personal experiences as a Vietnam veteran, detailing how the violence and trauma of war left lasting emotional scars. He described his journey towards healing, including a pivotal moment when he decided to give up violence and rage, significantly transforming his life. David’s reflections underscored the importance of addressing the deep-seated guilt and shame that many veterans carry, advocating for the use of forgiveness tools to achieve this. The conversation also touched on the broader societal implications of war and the importance of supporting veterans. Michael Ryce highlighted the staggering number of homeless veterans and the high suicide rates among those who served in Iraq. He argued that true honor for veterans would involve providing adequate support and healing resources, rather than merely paying lip service to their sacrifices. The discussion included a call to action for listeners to consider how they can support the healing of veterans and their families, emphasizing the collective responsibility to address the emotional and psychological wounds of war. Throughout the show, Michael, Jeanie, David, and Carol emphasized the need for a cultural shift towards love and healing, advocating for the widespread adoption of forgiveness practices. They urged listeners to take personal responsibility for their own internal states and to support others in their healing journeys, ultimately aiming to create a more compassionate and peaceful world. |
May 31, 2011 | Memorial Day 2 Challenge: Are you willing to handle something in your life that is based in hostility or fear, forgive it and move closer to the expression of a real human life? Continue discussion of how to remove hostility and fear and resolve conflicts.
On the May 31, 2011 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce hosted a discussion on the transformative power of Aramaic forgiveness. He emphasized that forgiveness involves changing our internal terrain and conditions, rather than letting others off the hook for their actions. The show explored the idea of converting a fear and hostility-based mind into a love-based one, using the example of holding a newborn child to illustrate what true human life is meant to be—powered by the presence of love. Dr. Ryce highlighted the importance of realizing that love is not something to be found outside, but is inherently within us. Jeanie Ryce, despite some technical difficulties, joined the discussion alongside Dr. Tim Hayes, who shared his experiences and insights. They discussed the previous day’s focus on Memorial Day and the best way to honor those who have sacrificed their lives in war: by addressing and healing the internal conflicts and hostile emotions within ourselves. This concept led to the introduction of a “Memorial Day Challenge,” encouraging listeners to forgive one issue in their lives each day that contributes to the energy of war, thereby fostering peace. David, a Vietnam veteran, shared his perspective on the sacrifice involved in war, not only in giving one’s life but also in taking another’s life. He reflected on his journey of healing from the rage and violence he once carried, underscoring the profound impact of choosing love over hostility. Callers contributed to the discussion, with Richard from Michigan sharing his struggle with blame and anger in a recent organizational conflict. Dr. Ryce coached him on the importance of collapsing internal hostility through forgiveness to approach situations with love and resolve conflicts constructively. Edward from Las Vegas also called in, expressing gratitude for the transformative impact of Dr. Ryce’s teachings on his life. He highlighted the clarity and deeper self-understanding he gained through the forgiveness process, noting the shift from seeking external forgiveness to internal healing. The show concluded with a reiteration of the Memorial Day Challenge and an invitation for listeners to participate in upcoming workshops and intensives, aimed at furthering the practice of Aramaic forgiveness and living a life powered by love. |
