ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
April 4, 2014 “Aramaic Friday” episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce welcomed guests Dr. Tim Hayes and Dale Allen Hoffman for a deep exploration of Aramaic teachings, particularly focusing on the sacred phrase “I am” and its implications in spiritual and psychological healing. Dr. Ryce opened the discussion by reflecting on the illusion of external wealth and addiction, using Las Vegas as a metaphor for the deceptive pursuit of fulfillment outside of oneself. He emphasized that all forms of addiction stem from unresolved internal pain and that the true path to healing lies in the Aramaic forgiveness process—a systematic method for removing internal blocks and recovering the active presence of love within. Dr. Tim Hayes shared insights inspired by listening to Dale’s recording on “Inanna,” a term that in Aramaic captures the essence of the phrase “I am.” He highlighted the profound realization that hostility projected onto others is often a mirror of unresolved self-loathing. Dale expanded on this concept, explaining that in Aramaic, the phrase translated as “I am” in English is actually “ena ena” or “inanna,” which conveys the idea of “the I within the I”—the authentic self or highest awareness beyond ego, conditioning, or false identity. He emphasized that much of Christian doctrine misrepresents Yeshua’s teachings due to Greek mistranslations that omit this essential Aramaic nuance. The discussion deepened as Dale contrasted intellectual understanding with direct experience. He argued that the transformation brought by Aramaic forgiveness does not require belief or comprehension but engagement with the process itself. He described how sound, tone, and vibration connect us to ancient awareness and the presence of the Divine, and how language—especially Greek—has severed modern seekers from the energetic integrity of Yeshua’s original message. Ryce and Hoffman both lamented the sophisticated but deceptive nature of modern religious, political, and economic systems that perpetuate suffering by encouraging external authority over internal sovereignty. A key moment came when Dale revisited the biblical exchange at the well, traditionally understood as Jesus declaring “it is I.” Dale noted that in the Aramaic text, the phrase is actually “ena ena is speaking with you”—not the man Jesus speaking, but the Divine presence within. This shift from identification with a personality to identification with Being reorients the entire theological foundation toward inner awakening. Dr. Ryce reinforced this by tying in the Aramaic meaning of “name” (shem) as the energetic essence of a being, rather than a label. He urged listeners to reclaim their “I am” nature and to recognize that taking the Lord’s name in vain means affirming any untruth about oneself (e.g., “I am poor” or “I am afraid”)—a violation of one’s inherent wholeness. The show also addressed how false self-images formed in childhood are what must “die” in order for the true self to live. Ryce spoke about the structural violence embedded in Greek and Roman culture, arguing that translation into Greek distorted Yeshua’s nonviolent teachings. Dale echoed this, pointing out how the Aramaic message of unity and presence was lost in Greek philosophical hero-worship. Together they called for a return to the original Aramaic message: that we are each whole, complete, and loving beings when we remove the lies and trauma we’ve internalized. A caller, Julie from Oregon, offered a parable about rip currents as a metaphor for being swept into unconscious, hostile thought patterns. Her analogy illustrated that only by turning sideways—working with the current rather than against it—can one escape the destructive force of the unconscious mind. The hosts praised this as a perfect reflection of the Aramaic forgiveness process, which requires willingness, humility, and action rather than resistance or intellectual debate. The program concluded with a call to action: that true healing and world transformation are possible only when individuals commit to their own internal work. Dale, Dr. Tim, and Dr. Ryce affirmed that the forgiveness process must be embodied and practiced, not merely understood. The show emphasized that Yeshua’s message was never about glorifying a man but about uncovering the divine essence in all of us—accessible only through genuine inner work.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
April 11, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and Dr. Tim Hayes welcomed guest Dale Allen Hoffman for another Aramaic Friday focused on uncovering the original teachings of Yeshua. The show began with Dr. Ryce reflecting on how the intellectual elite often dismiss the depth of Aramaic teachings due to biases against the language of scripture, particularly when it includes references to God or Jesus. He shared anecdotes about people refusing to host workshops simply because his materials mentioned Jesus, illustrating how the true solution—living in alignment with love—has become stigmatized or outright rejected by many due to cultural distortions and religious trauma. Dale Hoffman joined the conversation from the road and immediately resonated with the challenges of prejudice—not just racial or cultural, but intellectual and ideological. He emphasized that many people reject his work simply because he speaks about Jesus, even though his teachings aim to dismantle dogma and return to the original Aramaic message of love, presence, and healing. Dale spoke about the importance of openness and humility, likening the true spiritual journey to standing with a “cosmic question mark” overhead rather than clinging to fixed beliefs. He critiqued the modern obsession with intellectual certainty, noting that such rigidity blocks access to real transformation, which only comes through experience and vulnerability. One of the central Aramaic idioms discussed was “eat my body and drink my blood,” which in its original context means to fully embody and live the teachings of Yeshua—not perform ritual acts or recite doctrine. Dale and Dr. Ryce explained that in Aramaic, the word for “blood” (dema) also means sap, essence, or juice—indicating that true spiritual practice is revealed when life squeezes us and our essence is exposed. They described this moment of internal pressure as the “peak of the temple,” a pivotal point of transformation where a person either breaks down or transcends into a higher level of awareness. The conversation turned to the theme of false gods—anger, fear, judgment—and how these emotional energies become our real deities when stress reveals who we turn to. Ryce emphasized that the presence of hostility or fear in a moment of crisis reveals our unconscious allegiance to them as our guides, in contrast to Yeshua’s invitation to remain aligned with the active presence of love. Dale reiterated that Aramaic forgiveness is not about intellectual understanding but about removing the bushel baskets (blocks) from the light of our true being. He pointed out that hell, according to Aramaic texts, was never a physical place but a state of consciousness, a burning away of illusions brought on by the light of awareness—described in Aramaic as nofrata, a feminine light of purification. A caller, Mitzi, inquired about Dale’s upcoming visit to Kalamazoo and asked if the Aramaic had a version of the Hail Mary. Dale clarified that the traditional Catholic “Hail Mary” is not found in the Aramaic teachings of Yeshua but did speak at length about the Magnificat, Mary’s song of surrender in the Gospel of Luke. He explained that the Aramaic version emphasizes openness, humility, and the realization that divine birth happens through us—not to us. Ryce added that true virginity, in the Aramaic understanding, refers to a mind and body purified of hostility and fear so that it can receive divine presence untainted. Together, they highlighted how modern interpretations have misrepresented purity as sexual rather than energetic and emotional. The show closed with strong affirmations about the importance of doing the inner work rather than just talking about it. Dale shared how he’s often mocked by academic Aramaic scholars for promoting practice over intellectual debate. Dr. Ryce pointed out that such attitudes mirror the same hostility Yeshua encountered from the Pharisees, who placed heavy burdens on others without lifting a finger themselves. Both men agreed that the transformation Yeshua described requires direct experience, willingness, and consistent application of forgiveness—not theological arguments. They concluded with a reminder that eternal beings who have done the work—like Yeshua—remain available energetically to help others do the same, and that our task is to become that same space for others.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
April 18, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and Dr. Tim Hayes hosted another Aramaic Friday conversation with guest Dale Allen Hoffman. The discussion centered around the true spiritual implications of the crucifixion and resurrection of Yeshua, as understood through the lens of the original Aramaic language. Dr. Ryce opened the show with a reflection on Easter, emphasizing that Yeshua’s execution was not a “sacrifice” in the traditional religious sense, but rather a demonstration of what it means to be fully surrendered to love and committed to truth in the face of systemic hostility and illusion. He explained how Yeshua used the crucifixion as a teaching moment to embody forgiveness and to show the world how to release fear and hostility rather than retaliate. Dale Allen Hoffman brought in the Aramaic context of the words attributed to Yeshua on the cross, especially the often-misunderstood phrase “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” He explained that in Aramaic, the phrase carries a very different tone—more of a conscious merging with Source than a desperate cry of abandonment. Dale clarified that these words, when read from an Aramaic perspective, reflect a profound process of transcendence and surrender rather than despair. He spoke about the deep peace and radiance that he has experienced in personal meditations on the crucifixion, suggesting that the image of Yeshua on the cross has been distorted through Greek and Latin translations that removed the energetic and mystical layers of meaning present in Aramaic. Dr. Ryce and Dale both highlighted how modern Christianity often focuses on the suffering and gore of the crucifixion without integrating its true spiritual invitation—to die to the false self and awaken to the presence of love and truth. They discussed the Aramaic understanding of “resurrection” as not simply physical but as an ongoing process of awakening within each individual. Dale emphasized that the Greek word for cross (stauros) implies a tool of punishment, whereas the Aramaic imagery points to a process of transformation. Yeshua did not die to pay for humanity’s sins but to model the ultimate act of love: forgiveness in the face of betrayal, cruelty, and misunderstanding. Jeanie Ryce contributed by grounding the conversation in the practical application of forgiveness. She reminded listeners that the emotional upsets triggered by relationships are the very opportunities to do one’s inner work. When conflict arises, it is not about the other person but a call to remove what is blocking love in oneself. Dr. Tim Hayes reinforced this by noting that the mind’s interpretations, especially in traumatic or triggering moments, are often inaccurate and rooted in old pain. He encouraged the use of Aramaic forgiveness worksheets and tools to dismantle these old perceptions and return to a place of clarity and love. The hosts also addressed a caller’s question about Easter, explaining that most of the holiday’s traditions—including the name “Easter” and the use of eggs and bunnies—stem from pre-Christian fertility rites and not from the teachings of Yeshua. Ryce clarified that the Council of Nicaea institutionalized a version of Christianity that strayed from the original Aramaic message, replacing the living presence of love with doctrines and externalized worship. The conversation emphasized that true spiritual practice must be experiential, not theoretical. Forgiveness, as taught by Yeshua, is a practical process of removing the barriers to love, not a religious ritual or mental concept. The show concluded with an invitation to embrace the resurrection as a daily practice—a willingness to face and release inner hostility, fear, and false identity in order to rise into one’s true nature. Dale closed with a powerful statement that Yeshua’s teachings were about entering the heart and embodying divine presence, not about forming belief systems or intellectual arguments. Dr. Ryce affirmed that the resurrection is not a past event to be believed in but a present-moment experience to be lived.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
April 25, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and Dr. Tim Hayes were joined once again by Dale Allen Hoffman for Aramaic Friday, continuing their exploration into the original meanings behind Yeshua’s teachings. The show began with reflections on the importance of engaging in personal, experiential inner work, as opposed to remaining trapped in intellectual debate or the distractions of modern culture. Dr. Ryce emphasized that real transformation does not come through accumulating beliefs but through direct interaction with the tools of forgiveness and inner clearing. Dale Allen Hoffman echoed this point, describing how many people approach spiritual development as a collection of ideas rather than a practice that demands deep vulnerability and surrender. Dale discussed the Aramaic phrase often translated into English as “repent,” which in its original form means to return to a direct experience of love, rather than to feel shame or guilt. He also explained the Aramaic word shbak—often interpreted as “forgive”—which more accurately conveys the act of releasing, dissolving, or letting go of something that binds or constricts. Dr. Ryce added that forgiveness in the Aramaic tradition is about removing the energetic blocks that prevent one from experiencing the active presence of love. Together, they emphasized that the Aramaic teachings of Yeshua are designed to dismantle false perceptions and open the door to a conscious experience of divine presence. Jeanie Ryce contributed reflections on how important it is to become aware of the emotional patterns that rule our unconscious reactions. She shared that when a person reacts in hostility or fear, they are not seeing clearly—they are experiencing a projection of unresolved internal content. Dr. Tim Hayes supported this by explaining how the mind distorts perception through the lens of trauma and conditioned beliefs, and that healing requires awareness, willingness, and the use of forgiveness tools to clear these distortions. The group discussed how true vision—what Yeshua referred to as “seeing with new eyes”—can only happen once the mind is freed from its filters. A key segment of the show focused on how the institutional church has often misrepresented Yeshua’s message, especially through mistranslations from Aramaic to Greek and Latin. Dale criticized the emphasis on punishment, guilt, and belief systems that have replaced the embodied experience of presence and love. He explained that words like “salvation” and “kingdom” have taken on distorted meanings over time and that a return to their original Aramaic context reveals a far more empowering and practical spirituality. Dr. Ryce affirmed this and highlighted the danger of worshipping Yeshua as an external idol rather than applying his teachings internally to uncover the same divine presence within ourselves. The episode closed with a call to action for listeners to commit to the daily work of forgiveness, especially in moments of upset or conflict. Rather than focusing on others’ behaviors, Ryce urged listeners to look within, to recognize that the pain they experience is never caused by external circumstances but is rooted in their own unresolved energies. Dale concluded by saying that Yeshua’s invitation was not to believe in him, but to become what he demonstrated—pure presence, unconditional love, and fearless truth.
