October 1, 2012: Ryce opens the month by contrasting competition with cooperation and offering that Human Life is most clearly recognized in the presence of a newborn child — an experiential reference for the active presence of Love. He questions cultural systems that teach children to organize around winning, domination, acquisition, and defeating others, contrasting them with service, cooperation, and contribution. A young man named Spencer, who spends time supporting disadvantaged and disabled children, becomes an example of directing energy toward enhancing Human Life rather than competition. Ryce describes forgiveness as the practical Aramaic technology for removing hostility and fear that have been conditioned into the mind so that this original Human Life can again become active. He again distinguishes forgiveness from letting another person “off the hook,” directing listeners instead toward the Reality Management Worksheet as an internal process for changing the conditions of one’s own mind.

October 2, 2012: Ryce explores how changing the meaning of words can obscure the practical knowledge once carried by them. “Human Life,” in his teaching, does not simply mean possessing a human body; it refers to functioning from the Love recognizable when holding a newborn. He then addresses a listener’s confusion after being told to “stop forgiving others.” The key distinction is that forgiveness is still essential, but it is applied internally rather than to another person. Ryce compares forgiveness to a broom used to sweep one’s own house: rage, grief, fear, sadness, chaos, and other internal material are what the tool removes. Blaming alcohol, addiction, disease, another person, or circumstance is described as denial because it places the source outside oneself. Denial then produces dissociation, making the true internal source inaccessible. Responsibility restores access: “they triggered my capacity for upset” preserves the distinction between an external trigger and an internal cause. Forgiveness can then address what actually belongs to the person experiencing it.

October 3, 2012: The show returns to restoring Human Life and emphasizes that physiology, in Ryce’s historical framework, is designed to function from Love rather than frustration, fear, grief, pain, or loss. Dr. Tim reports on a support-group meeting using the communication workshop Did You Hear What I Think I Said? One participant was triggered into childhood material connected with an event around age seven, while another woman unexpectedly connected another participant’s processing with her own childhood trauma and recent physical pain. The group supported both through Breath, worksheets, and open processing. Ryce uses the report to emphasize willingness to see what has been hidden and the value of people gathering in Love to support one another. The broadcast encourages listeners to participate in support groups because another person’s work may resonate material that one could not readily access alone. Claims connecting emotional processing with physical pain reflect the participants’ historical experiential framework rather than established medical conclusions.

October 4, 2012: Ryce challenges the cultural assumption that attack produces safety. He offers that becoming skilled at attack only strengthens the energetic and psychological structure of attack, while the tools used to produce an outcome tend to shape the outcome itself. He invites listeners to imagine families and eventually humanity functioning for an extended period without attack thoughts, speaking to one another from conscious Love. The film Amish Grace, based on the Nickel Mines school shooting and its aftermath, becomes the central example. Ryce is struck by the Amish community’s effort to meet devastating loss without hatred and by their support for the killer’s widow and family. He contrasts that response with hostile online reactions condemning the Amish for their behavior. While noting that the film still uses the common language of “forgiving him,” Ryce sees its deeper message as evidence that carrying hatred destroys the person who carries it. The show frames forgiveness as an internal technology for removing that hatred rather than as excusing violence.

October 5, 2012: Dr. Tim identifies a useful regulatory-speech indicator: when someone says “I’m angry because…” and immediately begins talking about another person, the language often reveals denial of the internal source. Ryce refines his earlier terminology from “suppression” to dissociation, explaining that suppressed material may simply be hidden, whereas dissociated material has become functionally inaccessible to conscious choice. People nevertheless remain indirectly related to that hidden material because it is used to construct their brain’s image of others. If rage is dissociated, another person may be pictured as “the one who enrages me.” Forgiveness collapses this projection and restores direct contact with the internal rage itself, where it can be changed. Ryce presents the Reality Management Worksheet as a practical means of cracking open the dissociated mind and recovering responsibility for what had been projected outward. The discussion also notes contemporary interest in memory reconsolidation as Dr. Tim sees parallels with accessing emotional material at its roots.

October 8, 2012: The central theme is moving from intention into committed action. David notes that knowing the tools or planning to use them later changes little; when a recurring issue continues appearing, the Present is the opportunity to work with it. Susan’s forum question asks where intentions fit into the Mind-Goal Management process. Ryce and Dr. Tim explain that intentions are filtered through Rakhma, but an intention must be consciously selected and elevated into a goal before it organizes mind energy toward a result. The conversation then turns toward intuition and direct inner guidance: once a goal is established, one can ask how to accomplish it and become receptive to insight that goes beyond the limited past-based mind. Carrie describes her own progress through sustained worksheets, radio programs, and workshops, saying a childhood “house of cards” built from punishment, trauma, and inherited material has begun to dismantle. She reports greater clarity and reframing her employment from oppression into service.

October 9, 2012: Ryce emphasizes community and mutual support, drawing on Y’Shua sending people “two by two” as a model for helping one another recognize blockage of Truth that is difficult to see alone. Support never means another person does one’s healing; each person remains responsible for doing their own work. The show again clarifies forgiveness versus pardoning: pardoning lets another person off the hook, while forgiveness changes the internal hostility and fear in one’s own mind. Tony then reports a major shift using Responsibility Communication with his wife. After asking directly for her support rather than defending himself against vulnerability, he found himself able to listen more openly and eventually realized they had largely agreed all along; much of the conflict had been constructed internally through defensiveness. Another caller discusses bringing healing principles into corporate work, with Ryce encouraging him to examine fear about how powerful people might respond and then listen for guidance about where his work can have the greatest constructive impact.
YouTube https://youtu.be/ptfZFm3gu8I Additional Notes: Punishment as it leads us to propitiation – doing the right things for the wrong reasons; finding and forgiving our fears to clear the way for intuition to guide us; remembering to ask for support when using responsibility communication; doing the forgiveness work moves us from intellectual understanding to actual change. |

October 10, 2012: Dr. Tim reports another support-group session using the Mind-Body Bioenergetics material and discusses Bruce Lipton’s ideas about cellular responsiveness, environment, mind energy, and gene expression. These biological claims are presented as they were discussed historically on the show and should not be treated as established medical conclusions. Ryce emphasizes the value of going together rather than attempting inner work entirely alone and describes a woman helping a formerly incarcerated young man use a worksheet to discover that his lifelong painful feelings could be worked through rather than merely endured. The show then explores goals, intentions, and stress. Ryce explains that every active goal creates stress; loading the mind with distant or irrelevant goals can contribute to overload and procrastination. The Mind-Goal Management Worksheet is used to focus goals on what can actually be acted upon during the current waking period, while forgiveness cancels goals whose stress is not serving the present purpose. Listeners also discuss sponsorship, integrity, appreciation, and helping others develop practical skill with the worksheets.

October 11, 2012: Ryce frames healing as work at the level of cause rather than merely trying to rearrange effects. He uses his Aramaic interpretation of John — “mind energy became flesh” — to offer that painful emotions and physical disturbances point toward underlying mind energy that needs attention. Carrie calls from a ranch in Colorado where she is disturbed by people training hunting dogs with pigeons, some of which are dying in cages. She asks how to remain in Love while still responding to something she experiences as cruel. Dr. Tim suggests that the same external event can be experienced very differently depending on the filters through which it is perceived. Ryce develops this through Rakhma and Khooba: maintaining Love does not require passivity; a person may still speak or act, while first allowing whatever pain the circumstance resonates internally to move through Love rather than becoming rage, grief, or resentment. The circumstance then becomes both an opportunity for healing and a place for clear constructive action.
YouTube https://youtu.be/5yFASa7znNc Additional Notes: When we experience turmoil about something outside of ourselves, we need to do our work around our own issues and then sometimes it is appropriate to speak up about the situation; the importance of speaking our truth after connecting to the Love that we are; when choosing food to put into our structure, be aware of the energetic level of the food unless you are a master and can transmute it; what we draw into our lives is either an expression of Love or a cry for help and reflects what is within us. |

October 12, 2012: Ryce again distinguishes the Aramaic forgiveness process from pardoning and interprets Y’Shua’s instruction to forgive “from the heart” as removing from the hidden or unconscious mind what has been projected into one’s image of another person. Dee calls from Washington, D.C., seeking guidance about uncertainty surrounding her career and possible changes at work. Ryce explains that the show does not provide predictions or messages from outside sources; instead, the work develops the ability to go within, clear fear and turmoil, and become available to one’s own highest guidance. The broadcast also includes stories about children spontaneously participating in healing experiences, including an injured dog and a StillPoint session, which the participants interpret as evidence of natural healing capacity before cultural conditioning interferes. These healing stories are participant recollections and reflect the historical experiential framework of the show rather than independently verified medical evidence.

October 15, 2012: Ryce opens with a critique of later Greek overlays on Y’Shua’s Aramaic teachings and contrasts a teaching rooted in Love with religious systems organized around fear. Dr. Tim connects the discussion with The Way of Mastery and Guy Finley, emphasizing that Love is not something missing that must be acquired; it is the source from which Human Life already arises. Tony reports attending Rex’s StillPoint workshop and having an unusually easy, flowing session with little resistance. Afterward, he recognizes material involving superiority, condescension, and his desire to become a teacher of the work. Ryce identifies resistance with the historical Aramaic concept of Satana as “the resister” and emphasizes that the clearest preparation for teaching is continuing to do one’s own work. Carrie later discusses propitiation — feeling obligated to satisfy other people’s expectations — and describes worksheets helping her step more fully onto her own path. The health anecdotes Ryce gives about dramatic changes during StillPoint are preserved as his historical claims rather than established medical conclusions.

October 16, 2012: The conversation centers on creatorship, interconnectedness, mind energy, and the distinction between living from protection versus living from Love. Jane reports that after hundreds of worksheets and sustained work she can now see major life changes that did not occur instantaneously but emerged over time, reinforcing the importance of practice rather than expecting immediate results. Dr. Tim discusses Bruce Lipton’s ideas about cellular membranes, environment, gene expression, and mind energy, relating them to the Mind-Body Bioenergetics material. Ryce uses Lipton’s “city under siege” analogy to describe how prolonged protection mode reduces creativity and normal functioning. Another caller asks whether pain can operate collectively because people are not truly separate. Ryce replies within his historical framework that Human Beings participate in an interconnected energetic field and that resolving one’s own part can influence the whole. The broadcast repeatedly returns to the idea that healing one’s own hostility, fear, and defense contributes to a larger field of healing. Scientific and biological claims concerning mind energy and cellular function reflect the speakers’ historical interpretation and should not be treated as established science.

October 17, 2012: Ryce gives an extended explanation of denial, dissociation, projection, and what he calls the evidential mind. Once a person decides that someone else caused their anger, sadness, fear, or pain, the internal source is hidden and the mind begins producing evidence that confirms the externalized story. He describes dissociated energy as becoming an unconscious instruction set that repeatedly attracts or notices people capable of resonating the same painful pattern. Marcel Vogel’s laboratory work and thought-energy photography are cited by Ryce as historical support for this model; these claims remain his account rather than independently verified conclusions here. Dr. Tim discusses the power of support groups, silence, and gathering with people committed to removing what is less than Love. Susan then reports a marriage crisis and describes turning to Healing Through Relationships when she felt that one of them might need to leave. The larger teaching is that relationship turmoil exposes material to work with rather than proving that another person is the cause of one’s internal state.

October 18, 2012: Dr. Tim discusses The Way of Mastery as complementary to the worksheet process because both emphasize Love as source, thought as creative energy, and releasing what obstructs conscious awareness of that source. He also previews a workshop on grief and loss and stresses the importance of clarifying communication because words such as “harsh” may activate very different meanings in different minds. A caller named Suki describes fear that she will “do the worksheet wrong.” Ryce immediately treats that fear itself as worksheet material, tracing the thought “I always do it wrong” and “I’m defective” back to messages associated with her mother, whom he identifies in the discussion as a Power Person. He recommends working directly with inadequacy, fear of failure, and mother-related material and points toward the Codependence to Interdependence work. Rex also discusses taking responsibility for people he has frightened or harmed in the past, prompting Ryce to recall a time when he raged at his own children and later recognized that behavior as material requiring healing and accountability.

October 19, 2012: Dr. Tim opens by defining a false reality as any internally constructed picture that leaves a person in hostility, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, blame, bitterness, or revenge rather than conscious Love. Susan asks for support as she prepares to help another woman and commits herself more deeply to the work through worksheets, StillPoint, outreach calls, and the “Fill the Brain Cells” practice. Her concern is how to be of service without imposing herself, and the response emphasizes doing her own worksheets on whatever the situation activates while maintaining Love and listening for guidance. Another caller works with loneliness and relationship patterns, with Ryce suggesting that the other person functions as a mirror revealing an internal pattern rather than as its cause. The show closes with a detailed clarification of Step Seven of the worksheet: “structure a new goal” is shorthand for consciously framing and setting a goal from Being rather than being driven by Carbon-Based Memory. The Mind-Goal Management Worksheet is presented as the fuller process for learning to set goals consciously.

October 22, 2012: With Ryce and Jeanie away writing, Dr. Tim Hayes hosts the program and reviews the distinction between reality and actuality. Hostility, fear, blame, shame, guilt, vengeance, and similar states are treated as signals that the mind has constructed a false reality and that forgiveness is appropriate. Lenore describes starting a MindShifters support group in Ocala and using worksheets, videos, agreements, and the Commitment. Dr. Tim cautions facilitators to keep groups centered on the intended work rather than allowing well-meaning participants to redirect the group into unrelated teachings. He emphasizes that theory and inspirational stories are secondary to actually putting pen to paper and doing the worksheet. Shakara, a single mother, calls about feeling trapped between financial needs, wanting to relocate, and wanting her five-year-old daughter to remain close to her father. The discussion turns toward identifying her internal goals, guilt, fear, and conflicting realities rather than having someone else make the decision for her.

October 23, 2012: Dr. Tim Hayes hosts while Ryce and Jeanie are away writing and begins by describing forgiveness as an Aramaic tool for working directly with one’s own mind-body-energy system rather than pardoning another person. Anger, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, and similar emotions are presented as an internal alarm system indicating that thoughts have moved away from Love. Rex adds an important refinement about generational material: identifying something as inherited or ancestral can itself become another form of projection if responsibility is shifted onto previous generations. The useful question remains, “What am I experiencing right now?” Suki then works through a worksheet concerning a college professor she experienced as disrespectful and unprofessional. Rather than attempting to control the professor, she is guided to examine her own reactions, acknowledge places where she herself may have acted similarly, and establish a constructive goal for her own respectful and professional behavior.

October 24, 2012: Dr. Tim responds to a listener asking why someone might be unable to talk comfortably with an intimate partner about sex. Rather than assuming one cause, he suggests possibilities including shame, fear, body image, family conditioning, inadequate early communication, relationship dynamics, and unresolved trauma. Because the conscious mind may want open communication while unconscious material blocks it, he recommends Breath work, a MindShifter such as “It is safe and healing for me to openly discuss my sexuality with my partner,” Reality Management Worksheets, and the Three Earliest Memories of Conflict exercise. The larger teaching is that discomfort is information rather than something to suppress: it can point toward beliefs and emotional material that are ready to become conscious. The show also emphasizes that the Love recognizable in a newborn is regarded in this work as an undamaged core beneath learned fear, guilt, shame, and defensive patterns.

October 25, 2012: Dr. Tim emphasizes the practical nature of the work: spiritual ideas are useful only when they can be applied directly to daily life. Suki reports doing five worksheets about her conflict with a college instructor and says that the next day he apologized and brought her a new folder. Tim is careful about assigning cause, while acknowledging that her internal experience had shifted. The discussion then moves deeply into the Beatitudes. Tim presents the first three as practical instructions rather than religious promises: make one’s Home in the Breath and connection with Source, allow inner pain to surface rather than covering it with premature positive thinking, and soften what has become rigid so renewed inspiration and strength can flow. He connects Touveyhoun, Breath, guidance, and the feminine elemental force described in the Aramaic tradition with the larger forgiveness process. The broadcast repeatedly stresses that the worksheet may work gradually through layers; every worksheet need not produce an immediate dramatic result.

October 26, 2012: Dr. Tim clarifies the description of Rukha d’Qudsha is a feminine elemental force rather than “female,” describing it as the force traditionally rendered “Holy Spirit,” available to help undo the effects of errors and guide toward Truth. Ryce calls in from the cruise and reports expanding Chapter 24 of Why Is This Happening to Me Again? from roughly 25 pages toward 55 pages, adding material he says he did not have the courage to include in the earlier edition. Their discussion returns to the futility of trying to intellectually “figure out” unconscious patterns; Ryce says forgiveness, rather than analysis alone, removes dissociative dynamics and restores access to purpose and Being. A listener also asks about canceling goals at night. Ryce explains that stress itself is necessary for behavior, while goals create stress; therefore useful goals are consciously framed for appropriate times and outdated or unnecessary goals are canceled so the body-mind is not carrying irrelevant stress continuously.

October 29, 2012: Carrie calls deeply distressed after learning about a traditional dolphin hunt and asks how internal forgiveness can relate to horrific events in the external world. She is encouraged first to breathe and acknowledge the sadness and fear that have been resonated rather than allowing those emotions to overwhelm or define her response. The discussion distinguishes internal healing from passivity: after canceling the goal that holds the painful perception in place and allowing Rukha d’Qudsha to support the underlying healing, a person may still be inspired to take clear action on behalf of animals or another constructive cause, but from Love rather than rage or fear. Rex and Julie reinforce the point that people are always creating from some internal state—ignorance, hostility and fear, or conscious connection with Love—and that constructive action emerges more clearly when internal reactivity has been addressed. The show frames ending violence in the world as beginning with removing its seeds within one’s own mind.

October 30, 2012: The show continues the previous day’s discussion by distinguishing practical awareness of danger from fear-based perception. In the context of severe storms and discussion of climate and physics, Dr. Tim says people can evaluate probabilities, prepare intelligently, and take practical action while also noticing whether fear, resentment, or hurt is being resonated internally. The image of a bird sitting peacefully on its nest amid a raging storm becomes a metaphor for serenity that exists in the midst of turmoil rather than only when circumstances are easy. Julie then adds an important refinement: deciding “I will stay positive” can become suppression if anger, sadness, or fear has already surfaced. The work is to dismantle the reality generating the emotion rather than layering a positive thought over it. Denied or suppressed energy, in the show’s framework, remains in the system and will be encountered repeatedly until responsibility is taken for it.
YouTube https://youtu.be/mN9–ZSoGfk Additional Notes: We create the illusion of control and permanence and when it is taken from us by events, we create our own suffering which is different from actual pain. What can we control and why should we? Tools to use to discover what is hidden in our unconscious that drives our lives in ways that don’t serve us. Return to the light and Love of the newborn child using these tools. |

October 31, 2012: On Halloween, Dr. Tim reviews the principle that repeated anger, fear, sadness, or conflict across many different people and circumstances points toward an internal source rather than continually changing external causes. Lenore describes noticing anxiety while driving, turning off the radio, breathing, and becoming an impartial observer rather than distracting herself. Tim connects held or shallow Breath with attempts to avoid feeling emotional material and describes breathing as supporting movement through what has surfaced. He then reports powerful work from the Woodstock support group, including a participant recognizing adult fear and paranoia as an echo of childhood terror while her parents raged; after Breath and a worksheet, her self-rated upset dropped from seven or eight to zero. Julie shares using worksheets after a painful fall and connects the process with A Course in Miracles. The show closes with discussion of regulatory speech: statements such as “I can’t remember” or “I’m not worried” may reveal unconscious instructions or material because the brain listens to the language being spoken. The evidential mind then tends to produce information consistent with those instructions.
