Radio Show Archive – December 2016

michael’s intro was how people say they worship God but they live in hostility and fear.  The energetic patterns are stored in their cells (from their experiences and from their genetics).  It takes willingness to pick up the tools and confront what is less than love and forgive it. You send out a message for the universe to show you your rage or fear so you can heal. Referrence Marcel Vogel. Can’t just say “I won’t rage again.” because  if it is in you it will come forth. Every time you forgive you weaken the energy until it is gone.

question from a text from Julie in Oregon (she can’t be on the show but will listen to the archives): What is the differences between Will and will power and free will? Will is a spiritual faculty (which can frame a goal, set a goal, select a goal for immediate attention,maintain a goal and cancel a goal), will power is FORCING one’s way and freewill is human choice (like a GPS). michael goes into more detail.

Dr Tim is glad he has these tools and is able to share on a daily basis with others. Refer to watching/listening to Purpose, Personal Power & Commitment topic and michael commenting we should tithe 10% to what feeds us spiritually.  Time (2.4 hrs a day), Intelligence (consciously create on purpose), Money (10% of financial income) and Energy (your best not at the end of the day when tired).  To advance what you are doing you work on yourself more than your business. Rearrange your life to allow you to do this.

referrence to “Hacksaw Ridge” movie, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2119532/, his developed faculty of Will keeps him on track with his purpose regardless of the mistreatment of him.  He is determined to save lives and refuses to use a gun on the battlefield (true story during WWII).  His ability to function as love is unfathomable.  He changes lives and his ability physically is amazing, “let me get just one more”

Caller Shelly, do we really have freewill?  Go back to the time when Shelly was doing drugs…the Creator knows my path right? michael offered it is not predetermined. He knows the best path and has the desire for us to be a true being but we have the choice to follow his path or go our own way.  Shelly said if he had not experienced that he could not have had empathy for others doing it now so doesn’t that mean he was destined to go that way?  Jeanie offered no, if a different path had been chosen then there would be other opportunities and different skills to utilize. We can turn all into good and useful.  michael offered a lot of people end up in situations that are not due to any fault or blame but they do have a respons-ability for their life and can change their life.

michael speaks of Kimmie Weeks from Liberia and his experience of children in the war (the pain and suffering and child soldiers)

Caller Roma, went to see the movie and was amazed that he “committed treason” (although wasn’t persecuted) because he tended to the wounds and attempted to save a couple of the so called enemy.   We have a enemy consciousness – the good guys and bad guys. michael offered that is non-human conditioning we have bought into and must change.

michael spoke of energetic dynamics – not ‘good and evil’ but what supports human life and what does not.  Anything based in hostility and fear is disintegrative (tears you down) and anything based in love is integrative (builds you up).

question from Facebook (JM_Ryce): How do you do a wake-up sheet on money issues? I did a MindShifter “I always earn twice as much as I can spend.” (michael explained how to do a M/S and why it works).

Dr Tim shared his Thursday Support Group was just himself so he watched the Healing Through Relationships DVD and did a wake-up sheet and went home.  Even when there is only one or two present, the group can be very useful. The pattern today has been people who think their value is only when they do things for other people but then go into crisis when they have to step back and receive help.  They are in conflict within themself – stuck in their own fundamental process.

michael offered that many in that arena feel when they receive help there is something wrong with them. A M/S could be “It is safe and healing for me to be helpless, needy and broken.” Needs to have a balance in giving and receiving.

Caller Doug & Dianne, from Minnesota, received a call from his Mom and she asked what he wanted for Christmas but then made a suggestion for fixing his room.  Dianne felt the conversation seemed to be towards controlling Doug. He has several issues within the family, his sister is shutting out Dianne and says they are not good examples for her kids.  She does not want this work, it goes against her belief system.  michael offered the story of Y’Shua going to dinner at the Pharisee’s home and he did not wash his hands and they repremanded him. Y’Shua came back that their outward parts were clean but their inward parts were full of hostility or fear.  michael made the suggestion of doing wake-up sheets as if you were Mom and what might be going on for her.  Cancel goals.  When the space is safe enough for these kinds of dynamics to come forward, the energy is so deep and painful that they go blotto. So Doug asks, so how is it that I have a pharisaical mind? michael asked if he had ever wanted to control his daughter? Doug said but how did I bring this into my life? When abuse or negativity shows up, if I am respons-able for what I attract, then what is in me that created this?  michael said the dynamics have probably been going on for generations and it is time to clean up the inheritance.  michael offered to look at your response to the event – the response was in you first and then the event happened to bring it up for healing. If you find yourself ‘wanting them to change’ so you don’t feel what you feel then be aware that is your work.

Dr Tim offered, instead of figuring out what brought it on, look at what you are feeling in the moment and do the goal cancelling and find the space of love and extend that to everyone in every situation (including those who appear to be working against the goal).

michael spoke of using the Respons-ability Communication tool. Truth is often a challenge. michael shared what happened with Julie H several years back and her experience of being ‘speared’ for speaking Truth. When she dealt with the genetic issue of speaking Truth and the terror around it, then she was able to present to a class of adults during Teachers’ Training. Doug said it goes back to past attempts with his sister going terribly wrong and his sister getting angry. michael said it sounds like she is holding some heavy pain and she does not know how to deal with it.

Dr Tim said “whether it is true or not that I am made of Love, etc…I have had the experience that the more I ‘pretend’ it is true the better my life gets”  He worked with a 15 year old this morning and explained that the tortured aspects of her parents’ belief is in her genetics but not hers. She can dismantle the behavior, thoughts, emotions from her own life.  Tim said while she hasn’t bought it totally but he is glad he can honestly share the change he has experienced himself.

Apologies for prank caller.

Dr Tim also shared a client said “it is really scarey when you think about …. in the world” speaking words gives power to the reprogramming of the mind to feel scared.  He spoke of the book “The Ant and the Elephant” which is a book for high level business people that explains the conscious from unconscious mind. The ant has a built in sense for where water is and walks toward it to then get a sense that it is getting further away, this continues. The ant is unconscious to the fact it is on the back of an elephant and the elephant is walking away. We need to come into conscious relationship with

Movie “American History X” is about a youngman whose father is shot and in his defiance he becomes a Nazi skinhead and is against a certain group of people.  He kills someone and goes to prison, when he gets out he wants to have a different conversation and attempts to change his younger brother.  Upshot is the communities and generations are supporting the conversation of hate and killing someone different (sexism or racism) than themself and adds fuel to the fire until it is uncontrollable.

We need to see we are all human, let’s change the unconscious dynamics and step into who we are.

Dr Tim shared, getting the information from different places solidifies the truth. Robert Bolton’s “People Skills” and Harville Hendrix’s “Getting the Love You Want” each adds to the responsibility communication michael uses – active listening and taking full responsibility for what I am creating in me.  May present all three to his support group. michael offered the thought to record it and we’d put it on website.

Caller Julie from Pahrump, went through the Love Exchange with Jeanie this morning.  First thought was she thought she looked hollow or dead.  She put hand on heart and hand on mirror and went inside (used her cat as a love connection) then opened eyes and sent love to herself and saw love, joy and aliveness. Wow what a grounding. Great exercise. michael offered we are designed to experience love 24/7/365 in our physiology and then re-member (change our members).  We need to cancel the goals (of the thousand generations) that are driving our behavior.  We can’t  always control the genetic memories that pop up and take over but when we recognize our mind’s construct is off base we can cancel the goal and reconnect. It is always within not someone without.  Julie said she has seen herself being addicted to fear and it becomes overwhelming then she goes into her rant (another addiction) but with these tools she is learning to reconnect to Love. michael said make a commitment to 76 days of doing the love exchange to make it a habit of reconnection.

Caller Magda. Genetically inherited stuff is REAL! She worked on a mindshifter around being embarrased. She wrote a letter to herself from her generations, allowing them to speak to her.  She knows she inherited embarrasment and at times wanted to disown her family. She had put off going to the dentist because of this issue too and has stepped beyond that as well. michael asked if she has willingly used embarassment to control a situation? She has used it as a punishment tool. MindShifter: “It is safe and healing for me to embrace the agressive people in my life in the active presence of love.” She said she and Chuck are doing their work together again: the commitment and worksheets and meditation.

Caller Brenda. Last week Dr Tim mentioned something about a 5 hr window can there be more information on that? Dr Tim said the idea comes from coherencetherapy.org.  Not just intellectually but activate it in me as a full experience (access the implicit emotional knowing) then allow and soften. This is the access to the area that holds the negative belief and emotions.  Within 5 hours the emotional loading and neural pathways can be changed.  Done with Coherence Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as Wake-up Sheets and Breathing.

Caller Shelly gave an update on his recent accident.  Doing well and just allowing.

Dr. Ryce explained that one of the most profound misunderstandings in Western culture is the definition of forgiveness. Drawing from the original Aramaic teachings of Yeshua, he clarified that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook for wrongdoing. Rather, forgiveness is the internal process of removing energetic patterns of pain, trauma, and judgment from one’s own mind and body. He stressed that when we cancel the goal driving a painful perception, the energy resonated by that goal collapses, allowing unconscious content to become conscious. This is how healing occurs—not by changing the outer world, but by removing what blocks the presence of love within ourselves.

A caller named Ann shared her experience of struggling with a sense of personal responsibility for others’ choices, particularly her adult children. Dr. Ryce guided her through the realization that the pain she feels is rooted in her own unconscious goals and expectations. By canceling those goals and using the Reality Management Worksheet, she could allow those painful energies to surface and dissolve, rather than being trapped in blame or guilt. This, he explained, is the essence of true self-forgiveness.

The discussion returned often to the concept of “power person dynamics”—the imprints we inherit from early authority figures who were unable or unwilling to process their own pain. These imprints create internal filters that shape how we perceive the world, often leading us to repeat destructive patterns or internalize toxic beliefs. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to trace their emotional pain back to its origin in these dynamics and to use forgiveness tools as a means of restoring wholeness.

Dr. Ryce also addressed the common trap of denial, where people claim “I’m over it” or “It doesn’t bother me anymore” without ever having processed the underlying energy. He challenged listeners to recognize that denial blocks healing, and only by being honest and vulnerable with ourselves can we bring repressed material into the light. Breathwork, commitment to truth, and continuous use of the forgiveness worksheet are key components of this inner work.

Jeanie Ryce joined the conversation later and shared how she has used the worksheets in her own life to move through challenging patterns. She highlighted that the work is not always easy or fast, but it is deeply transformational. Together, she and Dr. Ryce held space for listeners to reflect, release, and renew their commitment to living from conscious, active, present love.

The show concluded with a reminder that recovery is a process of spiritual awakening, and that the most powerful tool we have is forgiveness—not as the world defines it, but as the Aramaic teaches: removing what never belonged in us to begin with.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday!  It is not a recovery from disease but recovering who we are – the wholeness of BEING which is the active presence of Love!

Dr Tim shared from the Support Group last night.  A participant did a worksheet around someone not being there with them and supporting them.  They said they did not get a release, Dr Tim directed her that there was a part of her that was not willing yet to let go of the goal.  She felt stuck and hurt.  What is the worst that would happen if you did let it go?  Great support from the group. michael talked about why one would cancel an absolutely perfect goal.

michael requested the community to hold the space for a young lady (21 yr old) who is in a crisis in Austin, TX.  She had a trauma 5 years ago and has gone down mentally, physically and emotionally to the point of potential suicide. Her parents are consciously working with her and have reached out to us.

Caller Gail, shares from the 12-step program. Adds to the energy of the young girl, Gail also experienced trauma at the age of 16, was assaulted by the manager of her first job, and it has affected her relationships, finances, self-worth, addiction to alcohol and food. michael offered that the skillset Gail has and uses in addressing her challenges is amazing (and that she has taken it to others).  Gail shared that she had a Christmas party for the women she sponsors in the 12-step program and some of the events that happened (ie candle lighting).

Caller Roma, related to the not wanting to release the goal. Her relationship with and memories of her father was only painful so she was not willing to let go of the goal because if she did not have the pain of her father she would not have anything of him.  Also, the loss of a baby and the pain around that loss.  michael suggested more wake-up sheets around the loss.  Roma asked if there is no pain around it then what do you have? michael shared the experience of his Mom passing and that he experiences the love with and of her and not the pain of losing her.  The active presence of love dissolves the pain.  Y’Shua taught us how to put an end to all pain and suffering. Perhaps cancel the goal of the future plans you had for you and the child that were lost. And cancel the goal of being a mother. It will liberate you and the child.

michael announced the intensives in March/April in Oak Island, NC and Jeanie described the two Women Only intensives and michael described the other 4 intensives (flyers and details at schedule/flyers-publicity)

He emphasized that what we experience as reality is actually a projection formed by the data stored in our unconscious minds. Drawing from the ancient teachings of Yeshua, he taught that forgiveness is the tool that allows us to collapse those projections and get in touch with what is actually going on inside. It is not about pardoning someone else, but about accessing and releasing the internal root of the pain. Ryce reiterated the power of cancelling goals that drive upset perceptions, explaining that every time we cancel a goal, the perceptual construct it creates collapses, revealing the deeper energies that must be healed.

The show included a detailed discussion of how multi-generational dynamics and unresolved family pain often play out in our lives. Ryce described how “power person dynamics”—the patterns we inherit from early authority figures—form the template through which we perceive and relate to others. These dynamics repeat themselves in adult relationships, especially in times of stress, until the individual becomes conscious of them and begins the forgiveness process. He stressed that addiction is often rooted in the unresolved pain of these unconscious power person imprints, which continue to resonate until they are dismantled.

A caller shared her experience of feeling conflicted between anger and a desire to hold her family together. Dr. Ryce guided her through recognizing that what she was experiencing was not actually caused by her family members, but by the unhealed content in her own energy system. The work, he explained, is to become aware of that energy, cancel the goal behind the pain, and access the forgiveness tools that allow it to surface and be released.

Jeanie Ryce joined the discussion and added her own reflections on the depth of healing that can occur through consistent use of the Reality Management Worksheet. She explained how, over time, her own patterns of upset, resentment, and guilt had shifted as she worked the tools, breathed through the pain, and reconnected with her own true nature as love. She and Dr. Ryce reminded listeners that healing is not a quick fix, but a daily commitment to presence, breath, and willingness.

The show ended with a powerful affirmation: that each person carries the power to heal within themselves. No matter how painful or ingrained a pattern may seem, the tools of forgiveness, especially as taught in the Aramaic tradition, can dismantle even the most deeply held false beliefs and restore the awareness of love.

michael mentioned some projects we need done: convert cassettes into CDs of A Course In Miracles lessons. Also an end of the year invitation to support this work financially.

“The God Particle”

Intuitive faculty is shut down early and people lie: blaming others for what is going on inside us.

Caller Ron. Added to discussion of intuition and underestimating our abilities.

Many will party and drink and ‘drown their pain’ instead of being present in the moment and circumstances.

Dr Tim shared around support group and events in his life. Appreciation for the work people are doing in his groups.  Theme he has seen today is people saying “It is so hard.” but what is hard is breaking the old patterns.  One finds it easy to let go but then they go back to picking up the old negative habits. Need to create new habits of letting go and focusing on love.

Caller Shelly. Running into people who ask him the same question every day.  michael offered it takes time to build the brain cells and asked was he expected to grasp the understanding first time around when he was small?

Caller Roma. Received a call from a surrogate daughter who she has been working with and she said “I have quit worrying!” such progress. Roma asked michael how do you see ‘critical mass?’ what are the signs that it is happening? michael offered changes in people who would have rejected the work at one time but now want to hear more. And then the movie we saw they ask the question we ask in our workshops…saying we do not love each other but we are love. Vladimir Lenin said change the meaning of words and you can destroy a culture. We must get back to the true meaning of words … i.e. LOVE … and masses of people will be exposed to this truth seeing this movie about what Love is.  It is bubbling up in more places.  Roma said she too had seen more people getting out of denial and realizing we do it to ourselves.

“The Messy Truth” CNN Van Jones (Political Commentator) was on a couple weeks ago. he says #LoveArmy – we must build a huge love army to change the country. There are several shows on YouTube. Post election special on Donald Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Ymt7BTaTw&t=12s

Dr. Ryce explained that what we perceive is not reality itself, but a construct generated by our minds from the content stored in our unconscious, often shaped by unresolved trauma, multi-generational dynamics, and early childhood experiences. These distortions, especially in the form of “power person dynamics,” replay throughout our lives until we become aware of them and begin the process of forgiveness. In his framework, forgiveness involves cancelling the goals that create stress and trigger those unconscious constructs. When the goal is cancelled, the perceptual construct collapses, and the hidden energies come into awareness, allowing healing to occur.

A major theme in this episode was the physiological and psychological impact of holding onto these unconscious dynamics. Dr. Ryce discussed how issues such as rage, guilt, fear, and addiction are not rooted in present experiences but in unresolved patterns stored within the individual. These patterns not only color perception but also influence the body, contributing to chronic illness and emotional suffering. The forgiveness process, when practiced daily and intentionally, serves as a pathway to unravel those patterns and restore wellness on all levels.

Jeanie Ryce joined the broadcast to share her personal insights and reaffirm the importance of commitment and consistency in the use of the forgiveness tools, particularly the Reality Management Worksheet. She offered practical encouragement for those in recovery or deep emotional work, reminding listeners that the mind will often resist healing by using denial or distraction. However, the tools—when used with breath and conscious awareness—can gently bypass that resistance and allow access to the truth beneath the distortion.

The show also addressed how the culture around us often supports denial and repression, discouraging people from feeling their pain or acknowledging their wounds. Dr. Ryce challenged this norm by reinforcing that feeling and moving through pain is not weakness, but strength—and that denial is one of the key barriers to healing. He invited listeners to remain open, curious, and compassionate with themselves as they uncover and release what never belonged in them to begin with.

The episode concluded with the reminder that true recovery is spiritual, not just behavioral. It is about returning to one’s true nature—love—and consistently removing what distorts that awareness. The ancient tools of forgiveness, rooted in the Aramaic language and understanding of mind, offer a roadmap to this healing and wholeness.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday! Recovering our true human life.  Example of movie “Inside Out” where Rylie had frustrated goals and turned to lying to herself (she had to be the good girl and keep her parents happy), then she stole from her parents, and ran away.  Then she got a wake-up call and returned home and admitted her sadness about what was happening and in the presence of the love of her parents (they told of their frustrated goals too) and she took that deep cleansing breath and let go and returned to her true being. michael mentioned watching “Collateral Beauty” and “Tomorrow Land” and Hollywood speaking of the deception to the world and the returning to love and wholeness.  Critical mass is close!

Caller Gail, doing wake-up sheets around finances especially here at Christmas. Cancelled the goals toward finances. Very tactile person, feels energies like chakras.  Tapped into a visual: a dirt road and a horse laying in the road, seeing this from the angle of also laying on the street. The person was attempting to get up to help the horse and could not move, felt helpless, felt the drowning in own blood and then shaking and passing away. Now a Spirit and could still not help the horse. The horse was attached to a buggy, it was early 1900s and a car backfired and startled the horse and the man went flying off the buggy.  Gail said her great great grandparents were servants and early coming to the United States, they were alcoholic, and he was killed in a lacky accident and left the gggrandmother was now widowed, poor and mother of 3 children and she could not keep them and turned them over to an orphanage.  Her greatgrandfather (one of the children) was full of rage about being abandoned. So she could see where the poverty, helplessness, abandonment, etc. impacted her present state. michael offered fragmented thoughts of generations gone by can unconsciously come forth and take over your perception.  They come forth as real present events.  This work is about comprehending and discerning the thoughts and emotions and changing our realities. We have to come into conscious relationship with those hidden dynamics and dissolve them in the presence of love. Acknowledge Gail for her work.  Gail said she recalled Christmas 1983, her family had visited her grandmother in Florida and they were trying to get back north (to home) to beat a snow storm and she felt that was the last time she would see her grandmother and it was.  Then when her parents divorced and their Christmas holidays changed. Sad reminders this time of year. Trifecta in AA is Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Gail said the solstice is a dark time but she regards it as a time to bring in more light.

michael invited everyone to consider doing this entire season without the numbing effects of alcohol.  Consciously feel everything that moves within you and forgive everything less than love.

Dr Tim shared the moving of his mom and the interactions with his sister and her feeling abandoned and rejected. At the support group people had questions but no one offered to do a wake-up sheet so Dr Tim did. His goal was for his sister to be aware of the impact of her decisions to not hire movers and what he then had to do.  He cancelled the goal and remembered his sister coming home from the hospital and being sick and quarantined from the rest of the family. He realized if he had dismanteled the sadness around not helping his sister before then he could have responsibly spoken to her and made different plans. Productive wake-up sheet.

Caller Julie had a thought that calling the program recovery might be about covering something up again…? Michele offered “habilitation” which means to make fit or achieving new skills, supporting the process to keep, learn, or improve skills and functioning for daily living.  Also, an idea that maybe Mark Hattas could do something around the corporate world.  michael invited Julie to contact Mark.

Announce the intensives in North Carolina.

Dr Tim has another Support Group tonight. Blessed to share these tools.  To improve the quality of your life start a support group and uncover your unconscious and change your life with likeminded people. Have more clarity and joy.

Caller Ann, has run into so many people who do not have the experience of holding a newborn human, puppy or kitten. She went to the AA Celebration and met another lady who began crying because she could not remember “love” Ann showed her the love exchange. Ann did not understand all the language of the AA group but just held the space.  What can we use as an example? michael said he often “lends someone his experience” of the birth of his daughter.

Caller Shelly. The other day he asked about frustration and did wake-up sheets around it and remembered learning his alphabet. His father would scream it at him and he would scream it back. And if he got it wrong he would be spanked.

Caller Roma. Day & half ago awoke feeling the energy of her mother’s death and her sister refusing Roma to be there. Her sister had said she did not want to hear from her again until it was the news of her death. Sent her a Christmas card.  michael invited Roma to go through the responsibility communication process with her sister. Its always up to the one who has the tools to make the step for peace. Discussion of being in limbo, not going forward, being stuck. Moving forward with internal work but external is not going anywhere. michael said he would hold the space for her to look at the energy that holds her in the stuck place. Roma shared that “they” did this or that and so she shut down. How does disappointment look like your life? Manifestation of disappointment.  The goal for the city to take action for the people’s will, so look at when you have wanted others to take action for your own will. Do wake-up sheets and it will lead to trust.  You can trust Rukha even when everyone else does the opposite…walk the path. ACIM has a passage about trusting Rukha: Chapter 20: The Vision of Holiness, Part IV Entering the Ark (last paragraph) says “Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfil, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfil. As that was given you, so will its fulfilment be. God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God?”

In response to a comment by Roma, Dr Tim explained an overview of the EMDR approach.  Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

Caller Donna acknowledged Michele’s contribution to the shows. Michele texted Jeanie that she resonated with what Shelly said. She did not feel she did much.

Caller Rex spoke of early years in this work and doing his purpose.

Dr. Ryce reiterated that forgiveness, as taught in Aramaic by Yeshua, is not about pardoning others but about identifying and removing internal energetic blocks that keep us disconnected from love. He described how goals and expectations create stress and activate brain cells that resonate with stored pain, often from past traumas or family-of-origin issues. When a person cancels the goal linked to their emotional upset, the perceptual construct collapses, revealing the underlying energy that is seeking resolution. This process is key to accessing and releasing trauma that drives reactive behavior, including addictive patterns.

The discussion also included insights into the physiology of the body and how it stores emotional pain. Dr. Ryce spoke about how unresolved emotions like rage, fear, or guilt can embed themselves into our tissues and organs, and how healing is possible when those energies are brought to awareness and breathed through. He challenged the cultural norm of suppression and denial, noting that people are often praised for keeping emotions hidden, but that true strength lies in facing and healing what lies beneath. The forgiveness tools, especially the Reality Management Worksheet, provide a way to move through this pain consciously and effectively.

Jeanie Ryce joined the conversation to share her experiences using the worksheet and highlighted the importance of consistent application, especially when doing deep emotional work. She encouraged listeners to be gentle with themselves and to stay committed, even when the process feels difficult or slow. She and Dr. Ryce both emphasized that the tools are not quick fixes, but practices that lead to profound transformation over time.

A caller shared their journey through recovery and how the tools had helped them face deeply rooted grief. Dr. Ryce offered insight into how grief, when not processed, can create inner turmoil and perpetuate addictive behaviors. He explained that working with these feelings through forgiveness, rather than avoiding them, is what brings about true healing and the return to one’s natural state of love and presence.

The show concluded with a powerful reminder that each person is fully equipped to heal and return to wholeness, no matter how painful their past. The tools of forgiveness, rooted in Aramaic understanding, are designed to access the deepest layers of mind and body and offer a pathway out of suffering. It is through consistent use of these tools, along with conscious breathing and self-awareness, that individuals can move beyond survival into a life of true presence and freedom.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday! Into on the fantasy of “time” which can be constructive to get everyone at the same place together but then there are destructive fantasies like blaming everyone else for what is going on inside of us. Give yourself permission to live in wholeness.

Dr Tim shared about his support group last night. They toned the first word of the Aramaic Lord’s Prayer “abwoon” and Dr Tim did a wake-up sheet.  He also offered to Michele (from yesterday’s show) graditude and kudos for her offerings on the radio show.  It opens the door for others.

michael offered Aramaic says “In the beginning was the mind energy and the mind energy became flesh” what shows up in our mind energy will show up in our flesh. To recover to the true being then what is less than love must be removed (forgiven).  If we were given messages as a child that we were not good enough then that is what will manifest. Example of Shelly’s conversation yesterday too. Constructs that are not true about who we are.

Caller Gail shared her process around the holidays and finances and that in the past she went into debt for gifts and yet she could not do that this year. Laws of Living conference call has reveiled to her that her Personal Code has changed. She felt abandoned by her father and now her daughters feel lighted by that side of the family as well. Gail chose to “make amends” to her father and stepmother,.. that she could come from a place of love and “stay on her side of the street” (meaning take responsibility for her part of their relationship). She got to her dad’s earlier than her daughters and shared what had happened to her (sexual assault by a manager) and then she turned to alcohol and let her academics fall and has been a waitress most of her life, became an unwed mother, etc. She apologized for any harm to them and offered to help them on the farm as she did not have money for gifts. He said lets leave the past in the past and start over now with a clean slate. She now takes a step back to allow him time to process what was said, she is sure a lot of things he said in the past that was not supportive will be faced as inaccurate. She was able to share a little with him of both the AA program and this work and the changes in her life. The energy she now is experiencing is weird. michael said this was such a shift that the energy is bound to feel different…it was huge. She wanted to hear similar experiences from others at the AA meeting and realizes most (even with longer years) have not done the depth of the amends process. michael offered that what she has done is monumental.

Text from Julie H (from HeartLand) offered her dad did not “make her into a scapegoat.” Gail asked, as a child of a divorced household, the child will blame themself and as an abuse victim they also blame themself. Does this go along that same path? Self-blame is definitely an issue to be addressed.

Dr Tim offered a mindshifter he does “I am as lovable and worthwhile as the people I respect most.” (michael explained the mindshifter tool)

Gail acknowledged Jeanie for holding the space at her first intensive in Florida and the ability to bring one of her daughters to the women’s intensive in Michigan too

Caller Shelly, we need to stay out of the past and future and just stay in the moment. When it comes up we forgive it and stay in the moment.  michael said the mind energy that is ‘in the moment’ will create the present moment, so if the mind energy is from the past then it will create a present moment experience.
