December 1, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes centers the discussion on A Course in Miracles Lesson 335, emphasizing that perception is a choice and that what one sees in others reflects what one chooses to see within themselves. He highlights that forgiveness is not about changing others but about recognizing the projection of one’s own mind and choosing to see sinlessness instead. Drawing from Pam Grout’s reflection, he reinforces that the present moment is where connection to the “divine buzz” or living awareness occurs, and that searching outside oneself keeps one from experiencing what is already here. Tim also shares insights from his own inner work around grief and vulnerability, illustrating how emotions serve as guidance rather than problems to be avoided. He emphasizes the power of the Reality Management Worksheet as a practical tool to transform negative emotional states into opportunities for awareness and healing, reinforcing that emotions are signals pointing toward internal content that can be addressed and released.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/QQw1UuVJU5o December 1, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce presents foundational teachings from the Healing Through Relationships workshop, focusing on the understanding that relationships are not broken but are perfect mirrors reflecting unresolved internal content. He introduces the exercise of recalling the experience of holding a newborn to reconnect listeners with the innate qualities of human being—love, purity, joy, and peace—and contrasts this with the learned states of hostility, fear, and guilt that arise from cultural conditioning. Ryce explains that these states of “non-being” are not caused by others but exist within one’s own physiology, and that relationships serve to surface these energies for healing. He emphasizes that the belief that others “cause” one’s emotions is a central distortion, and that true healing requires taking responsibility for internal states. Drawing on research and experiential teaching, he connects thought patterns to physiological responses, reinforcing that individuals “live the chemistry of their thoughts.” The core message highlights that healing occurs through recognizing and releasing these internal patterns, allowing the restoration of one’s true nature as Love.

December 2, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes focuses on A Course in Miracles Lesson 336, emphasizing that forgiveness is the means by which perception ends and true knowledge is restored. He clarifies that forgiveness has nothing to do with pardoning others but is the process of removing distortions from one’s own mind, allowing access to actuality rather than the internally generated “reality” constructed through perception. Tim highlights that the conscious logical mind is only a limited tool and cannot grasp the fullness of truth, reinforcing the importance of quieting the mind to access deeper awareness. Through reflections and examples, he encourages listeners to see beyond appearances and recognize the presence of the Creator in all things, cultivating a shift from fear-based interpretation to love-based perception. The teaching underscores that transformation occurs through willingness to release illusions and open to what lies beyond sensory interpretation.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/XOxw4Gq-V_A December 2, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce center the discussion on the role of breath as the key to restoring life and awareness within the human system. They emphasize that when individuals experience trauma or emotional pain, the breath is often constricted, effectively shutting down feeling and disconnecting from life energy. Ryce explains that conscious breathing reopens this flow, allowing stored generational patterns and emotional energy to surface for healing. The conversation also introduces the Aramaic understanding of “law” as a functional principle rather than a rule to obey, describing it as the formula for producing specific results in life. By aligning with the principles of love and life, individuals naturally experience more coherence and well-being, while engaging in hostility or fear produces corresponding outcomes. The discussion reinforces that tools such as the app and worksheets are designed to support this process, helping individuals collapse false perceptions and return to living as expressions of love.

December 3, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents A Course in Miracles Lesson 337, emphasizing that the mind must be willing to release its reliance on perception in order to receive true understanding. He explains that what the world teaches as knowledge is based on interpretation and past conditioning, while true knowledge arises from direct connection with truth beyond perception. Tim highlights that forgiveness clears the mind of distortions so that this deeper knowing can emerge. He encourages listeners to notice how often they attempt to control or interpret life through limited mental frameworks and instead cultivate a willingness to not know, allowing insight to arise. The teaching reinforces that peace and clarity are available when one relinquishes the need to define and judge experience, opening the door to a more expansive awareness grounded in love.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/TE-WPDMvwys December 3, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce focus on the availability of tools and community support for healing, emphasizing the importance of engaging actively with the process rather than remaining passive. The conversation includes updates on the website, app, and upcoming MindShifters and StillPoint Breathing sessions, reinforcing accessibility to resources for transformation. A participant shares a powerful update about her grandson’s recovery from addiction and mental health challenges, illustrating the impact of support, tools, and a healing environment. Ryce emphasizes that providing tools and holding space for others creates the conditions for transformation, but each individual must ultimately choose their own path. The discussion reinforces that healing is a process supported by community, consistency, and the willingness to engage with one’s own internal work. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/zWiJ6uUDqeM |

December 6, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes centers the discussion on recent A Course in Miracles lessons, especially the core idea that “I am affected only by my thoughts” and the lesson “I can be free of suffering today.” He emphasizes that fear and suffering are not caused by external events but arise from one’s own thought system, which means they can be changed by changing one’s thinking. Tim reinforces that there are no external enemies and nothing outside can truly endanger us; instead, it is the mind’s interpretation that creates distress. Drawing from Pam Grout’s reflections, he explores the ego as an internal voice rooted in fear that continually pushes urgency, inadequacy, and escape, contrasting it with a deeper voice that knows how to live in freedom and joy. He also references broader cultural and scientific conversations, including insights from public health and neuroscience, that point toward a collective movement away from fear and toward love as the foundation of well-being. The teaching encourages listeners to take ownership of their thought patterns and actively choose love-based interpretations, recognizing that this shift is the pathway to liberation from suffering.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/GOkhvwVU3J0 December 6, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce engage in a rich discussion centered on the Beatitudes and their original Aramaic meaning as practical instructions for living in alignment with the Creator’s forces. Joined by a guest participant, the conversation explores how the Beatitudes are not philosophical ideals but functional tools that guide human perception and behavior when properly understood. Ryce reframes key terms such as “breath” (Rūkha) as the living force of the Creator moving through the human being, emphasizing that this is not metaphorical but experiential and physiological. He explains that the first instruction is to establish and maintain the condition of Rakhma—a state of active love that serves as a filter for perception, ensuring that the mind generates coherent and life-supporting interpretations. Through stories and examples, including discussions of mental health challenges and personal transformation, the group highlights how applying these principles creates stability, clarity, and well-being. The conversation reinforces that understanding and embodying these Aramaic teachings allows individuals to access their designed guidance system, leading to increased happiness and alignment with life.

December 7, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes centers the discussion on A Course in Miracles Lesson 341, emphasizing that a miracle is a correction in perception—a shift from fear to love. He clarifies that nothing real needs to be changed; rather, the mind needs to recognize that what it sees in fear is false. The teaching focuses on the idea that there is no such thing as inherent sin or flaw in the human being, reframing the concept as an “original blessing” rather than original sin. Tim emphasizes that any sense of attack or imperfection arises from mistaken thoughts, which can be corrected through awareness and forgiveness. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he encourages listeners to embrace the possibility of living miracles—not as supernatural events, but as everyday shifts in perception that transform relationships, beliefs, and emotional states. The discussion reinforces that individuals are safe in their true nature and that the only “attack” possible is against one’s own recognition of that truth, which can be undone through conscious choice and practice.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/56P7TjB0Qkg December 7, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce continues the exploration of the Beatitudes through their original Aramaic meaning, emphasizing the central importance of maintaining the condition of Rakhma as the foundation for accurate perception and healthy functioning. He explains that Rakhma acts as a filter or “antivirus” for the mind, ensuring that perceptions are generated from a state of love rather than from hostility or fear. Through dialogue with callers, including discussion of parenting and guiding children, Ryce highlights the importance of teaching the principles by which the mind operates rather than attempting to control behavior. He reframes the Beatitudes as an instruction set for activating the human guidance system, explaining that when individuals align with these principles, they naturally generate thoughts and actions that increase well-being and coherence. The conversation also includes practical examples of choosing perception in advance—such as deciding to experience happiness regardless of external circumstances—illustrating how maintaining Rakhma allows one to live from a stable, love-based state even in the face of challenges.

December 8, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes centers on Lesson 342, reinforcing that forgiveness is the removal of false perception rather than pardoning others. He emphasizes that hostility and fear are distortions generated within the mind and that every negative emotional state serves as an alarm system pointing to a thought error. By shifting the perceptual filter from fear to love, one restores accurate perception and recognizes the truth of one’s nature as whole, safe, and complete. The discussion highlights that miracles are simply corrections in perception and that life itself is a gift to be experienced with awareness and appreciation. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, Tim emphasizes that the Creator’s desire is for individuals to expand goodness and live fully, using their gifts in ways that bring joy and connection.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/K7xzg1sPhZg December 8, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce continues reading from Why Is This Happening to Me Again?, focusing on the power of speech as a reflection of internal reality. He explains that words function as building materials for the structures of perception, revealing the patterns stored within the mind. By listening carefully to one’s own language, individuals can uncover hidden aspects of their history and unconscious dynamics. Ryce reinforces that perception is constructed internally and that each person’s “reality” reflects their own stored patterns rather than external events. Forgiveness is presented as the tool for entering the unconscious and correcting distortions rooted in hostility or fear. The discussion emphasizes that language offers a direct pathway to self-awareness and healing, as it exposes the energetic content shaping one’s experience.

December 9, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 343, emphasizing that there is no sacrifice required to experience peace and mercy because all that is real is already given. He challenges the cultural belief in scarcity, explaining that love, gratitude, and appreciation are infinite resources that expand when shared. Tim reinforces that emotions are internally generated through interpretation and resonance with past experiences, not caused by others. By recognizing this, individuals can reclaim responsibility for their emotional state and use tools like the worksheet to process and release stored trauma. The teaching highlights that living from abundance rather than scarcity opens the mind to greater freedom, connection, and possibility.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/JxlzhGarklY December 9, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce continues reading and teaching from the chapter on forgiveness, focusing on denial, dissociation, and projection as mechanisms that hide unconscious content. He explains that when individuals attribute their emotions to others—such as saying “you make me angry”—they lock away the true source of their experience within the unconscious. Forgiveness is described as the process of accessing these hidden parts of the mind and releasing the underlying energy. Ryce emphasizes that the “heart,” or unconscious, must be addressed directly for healing to occur, and that denial prevents access to this content. The worksheet process is presented as a structured method for uncovering and transforming these patterns, allowing individuals to reclaim awareness and responsibility for their internal state.

December 10, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 344, emphasizing the “law of love” that what one gives is what one receives. He highlights that true giving is not loss but expansion, as love and value increase when shared. The discussion explores the concept of hope, contrasting it with the idea of lack; true hope is described as surrendering to life as it unfolds rather than striving to change it. Tim also reflects on how language shapes perception, noting that the meanings individuals assign to words influence their experience of life. The teaching encourages living fully in the present moment, recognizing that one already possesses everything needed and that joy and creativity arise naturally when one releases scarcity-based thinking.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/B6lrxRf4aug December 10, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce, joined by Mark, continues the exploration of the Beatitudes as a practical instruction set for human functioning. He emphasizes that the Aramaic understanding of “law” refers to how things work rather than rules imposed by authority, and that the Beatitudes provide a clear protocol for aligning the mind with love and coherence. The discussion focuses on the role of service in becoming a “peacemaker,” explaining that contributing to the well-being of others is an essential aspect of living as a true human being. Ryce highlights that transformation occurs through applying these principles rather than merely understanding them intellectually, reinforcing that the teachings are designed for direct, lived experience.

December 13, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) The first hour is a replay of an interview with Dr. Richard Moss, who shares his journey from conventional medicine into a deeper exploration of consciousness and healing. He describes how the human “self” structure develops over childhood and becomes the dominant framework through which people interpret life, often leading to suffering through thought-driven emotional reactions. Moss explains that most suffering arises not from events themselves but from the thoughts and narratives attached to them, and that awareness can shift from this constructed identity into a deeper state of presence. He emphasizes that true healing involves moving from the strategic, past-based mind into present-moment awareness, where one can directly experience sensations and emotions without the overlay of interpretation. This shift allows for a more authentic relationship with fear, anger, and other emotions, transforming them from sources of suffering into opportunities for awareness and integration.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/aYeuTzHexso December 13, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce focus on applying the Reality Management Worksheet in a practical, step-by-step way, emphasizing responsibility for internal experience. Jeanie shares that she is dealing with COVID and invites listeners to hold space for healing, while Ryce introduces a resource called Wellness Through Stillness as a support tool. The discussion then moves into the worksheet process, guiding the listener through identifying a trigger, recognizing emotions, and uncovering the thought that generates those emotions. Using the example of perceived favoritism between siblings, Ryce demonstrates that emotional reactions arise from internal interpretations rather than external events. He emphasizes that thoughts drive emotional states and that by identifying and changing those thoughts, one can transform their experience. The teaching reinforces that healing requires becoming conscious of one’s internal processes and taking ownership of them rather than projecting them onto others.

December 14, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes reflects on Lessons 347 and 348, emphasizing that anger arises from judgment and that judgment is ultimately an attack on oneself. He highlights that nothing real is missing and that the mind creates the illusion of lack by seeking what is already present. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he illustrates how cultural conditioning trains individuals to search for problems rather than recognize the abundance already available. The teaching reinforces that fear and anger have no true cause when one is aligned with the Creator, and that shifting perception to gratitude dissolves the illusion of lack. By recognizing that all needs are already met, individuals can move out of striving and into appreciation, experiencing life as an unfolding of grace rather than a series of problems to solve.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/Pzca7nEliGs December 14, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce presents a powerful teaching on relationships as mirrors for internal content, using the metaphor of “bags of garbage” to describe stored emotional patterns. He explains that individuals are attracted to others with similar unresolved content, and that relationships serve to surface these patterns for healing. When conflict arises, the tendency is to blame the other person, effectively projecting one’s own unresolved emotions onto them and adding to the burden of both individuals. Ryce illustrates how this dynamic leads to escalating conflict and disconnection. In contrast, he presents responsibility communication as the alternative, where individuals acknowledge their own internal reactions and use the relationship as an opportunity for healing. By addressing emotional content as it arises and applying forgiveness, individuals can release stored patterns and return to a state of love. The discussion emphasizes that the true purpose of relationship is to support healing and restoration of one’s original nature. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/rPCWRK24-QI |

December 15, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 349, emphasizing that choosing love instead of judgment liberates both oneself and others. Using the story of Grover from The Monster at the End of This Book, he illustrates how fear is self-generated and often based on imagined threats rather than reality. The teaching reinforces that fear grows through avoidance and resistance, while facing it reveals its illusion. Tim highlights that the central practice of the Course is learning to choose love over fear in a culture conditioned to prioritize fear. He shares examples, including anxiety patterns, to show how individuals can shift from fear-based living into trust and inner guidance by questioning their assumptions and applying forgiveness tools consistently.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/j410glBQMLA December 15, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce continues working through the Reality Management Worksheet using the character Richard, focusing on anger, blame, and the destructive impact of hostility on the body. He emphasizes that punishment and blame are not beneficial but instead create physiological harm, often leading to long-term degenerative conditions. Ryce explains denial as the belief that something outside oneself is the cause of internal experience, which blocks access to healing. Through step-by-step explanation, he demonstrates how releasing the need to be right, to punish, and to hold onto thoughts allows the system to heal. The discussion reinforces that emotions arise from internal content and that forgiveness is the process of removing those destructive patterns, restoring clarity and well-being.

December 16, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 350, emphasizing that miracles reflect the Creator’s love and that offering miracles restores awareness of that love within oneself. He explores how trying too hard to “make things happen” can block the natural unfolding of life, reinforcing that what one seeks is already present. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he highlights that reality is not fixed but constantly unfolding, and that individuals choose their experience by where they place their focus. The teaching encourages releasing the belief in lack and shifting into trust, recognizing that abundance and possibility already exist and become visible when one aligns perception with love rather than striving.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/m7zk_5Ls3Hk December 16, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce discuss updates to the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness app and upcoming events, while also reflecting on the deeper psychological and spiritual work required for healing. Drawing from insights by Thoreau and Carl Jung, Ryce emphasizes that much of humanity lives in “quiet desperation” due to unconscious patterns and collective delusions. He explains that true healing requires bringing unconscious content into awareness, even when it is uncomfortable, and that forgiveness is the tool for doing so. The discussion highlights that cultural conditioning often masks deeper issues, and that willingness to face internal “darkness” is essential for transformation.

December 17, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes reflects on Lesson 351 and the deeper question “What am I?”, emphasizing that human beings are extensions of the Creator’s love and are inherently whole, complete, and sinless. He explains that suffering arises from identifying with conditioned thoughts rather than one’s true nature. The teaching reinforces that perception is a choice, and that seeing others as flawed reflects one’s own self-perception. Gratitude is presented as a powerful practice for aligning perception with truth, helping individuals tune into the “channel” of love and unity. Tim encourages moving beyond words and into lived experience, embodying love as one’s true identity.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/EJVGWQ_fNcE December 17, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce shares insights from his personal experience with COVID, reframing it as a potential catalyst for strengthening the immune system rather than solely a threat. He emphasizes that immunity is deeply connected to lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional states, particularly the presence of love versus hostility and fear. Ryce explains that fear compromises immunity, while a coherent, love-based state supports health and resilience. He also revisits the concept of denial, reinforcing that attributing internal states to external causes blocks healing. The discussion integrates physical health, emotional patterns, and spiritual principles, emphasizing that true healing involves addressing all levels of being.

December 20, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes reflects on Lesson 354, emphasizing that judgment and love are opposites and that all suffering arises from judgment while peace arises from love. He highlights that individuals have been conditioned to doubt their ability to move through life safely and successfully, and part of the healing process is recognizing that this belief is false. Through discussion with a client, he explores how deeply ingrained negative beliefs can make even the idea of resilience seem “crazy,” revealing the extent of cultural conditioning. The teaching reinforces that the purpose of this work is to cultivate access to what the Course calls the Christ mind—a state of awareness rooted in love, certainty, and unity. By consistently choosing love over judgment, individuals can shift their perception and experience life as supportive rather than threatening.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/uBSvqIOFyiM December 20, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce discuss the importance of recognizing fear as an internally generated state rather than something caused by external events such as COVID or life circumstances. Ryce emphasizes that when individuals attribute fear to outside causes, they enter denial and lose the ability to heal the underlying issue. He explains that the mind attaches fear to various situations, but the root of fear always resides within. The discussion also includes updates on workshops, newsletters, and the evolving app, reinforcing the availability of tools for healing. Ryce highlights that fear weakens the immune system, while living in alignment with love strengthens it, integrating emotional, physiological, and spiritual dimensions of health. The conversation reinforces that healing requires honesty, responsibility, and the willingness to release internal patterns rather than project them outward.

December 21, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 355, emphasizing that peace, joy, and miracles are limitless and immediately available when one accepts the Creator’s word and releases limiting beliefs. He explores how the mind generates thousands of thoughts daily and that suffering arises when individuals attach meaning and judgment to those thoughts. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he explains that fear itself is natural, but the problem arises when individuals build stories around fear that reinforce limitation and self-judgment. By simply observing thoughts without adding meaning, one can remain grounded in peace. The discussion also includes reflection on lifestyle choices, such as alcohol use, illustrating how cultural norms can mask behaviors that impact well-being. The teaching reinforces that awareness and choice allow individuals to shift from unconscious patterns into conscious, love-based living.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/PGDwoJnkUno December 21, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce explore themes of forgiveness, responsibility, and the broader social implications of unresolved hostility and fear. Ryce shares the powerful story of Eva Kor, a Holocaust survivor, using it as an example of the transformative power of forgiveness even in the face of extreme trauma. He emphasizes that hatred and prejudice are distortions that can be healed and that each individual has a role in creating a more loving and conscious world. The discussion highlights that forgiveness is not about excusing harmful behavior but about releasing internal patterns that perpetuate suffering. Ryce calls for individuals to engage actively in their own healing and to contribute to collective transformation by addressing their own hostility and fear.

December 22, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes centers the discussion on Lesson 356, emphasizing that sickness is simply a misperception—energy “off the mark”—and that healing is a return to alignment with love, light, and creation. He reinforces that the miracle is a call back to one’s true nature and that the Creator’s response is always available regardless of circumstances. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he highlights how early conditioning installs limiting beliefs that shape perception, encouraging listeners to consciously discard those constraints and return to a more open, joyful, and expansive way of living. Through examples from support group interactions, Tim emphasizes that emotions such as irritation are not caused by others but arise from one’s own interpretation, reinforcing the principle that individuals are responsible for their internal experience. The teaching calls for reclaiming conscious choice in perception and using tools like the worksheet to transform negative emotional states into guidance for healing.

Ryce emphasizes that hatred and racism are distortions of the human mind that can be healed, and that each individual has a role in restoring decency and love in the world. He highlights that forgiveness is the process of removing internal hostility and fear, not pardoning others, and that doing one’s own inner work contributes to collective healing. The discussion calls for personal responsibility and action, whether through direct engagement or simply holding a space of love, reinforcing that the human essence remains intact beneath all distortions and can be restored through conscious effort and forgiveness.

December 23, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes) Dr. Tim Hayes presents Lesson 357, emphasizing that truth answers every call and that joy is a choice independent of circumstances. He shares a powerful story illustrating how individuals can choose gratitude and joy even in extreme conditions, reinforcing that experience is created internally through the focus of conscious awareness. The teaching highlights that each person has dominion over their mind and can choose how to interpret and respond to life in each moment. Tim encourages listeners to recognize their role as conscious co-creators rather than passive participants, emphasizing that shifting attention toward gratitude and possibility transforms one’s experience of life. The discussion reinforces that joy is not dependent on external events but arises from the intentional focus of awareness.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/jg9HCDsX22s December 23, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce explore perception, projection, and the root of human stress, emphasizing that all stress is generated internally through goals held in the mind rather than external circumstances. Ryce explains that when individuals hold goals for others or situations that are not fulfilled, stress arises, and these goals often originate from unresolved past experiences or power person dynamics. He clarifies that forgiveness involves identifying and canceling these goals, collapsing the resulting pain perception and opening the possibility for a “holy instant,” a moment where perception falls away and truth can be experienced. The discussion also explores how stress levels determine behavioral responses, including the tendency to replicate power person patterns under pressure. The teaching reinforces that healing requires recognizing internal causation and actively engaging in the forgiveness process to dismantle stored patterns.

Drawing from Pam Grout and Richard Rohr, he highlights that transformation comes through surrender, humility, and releasing the need to control outcomes. The teaching emphasizes moving out of victimhood into conscious co-creation, allowing life to unfold while recognizing one’s role in shaping experience. Tim encourages listeners to quiet the personal voice and allow the voice of truth to guide perception, reinforcing that alignment with love brings clarity, peace, and a deeper sense of connection.

Ryce emphasizes that the purpose of the work is to return to functioning as a human being, defined as the active presence of love, rather than the culturally conditioned patterns of hostility and fear. He continues reading from Why Is This Happening to Me Again?, guiding the character Richard through recognizing false identifications and releasing blame. The discussion reinforces that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook but about removing internal distortions that block the awareness of love. Ryce highlights that generational patterns and long-held beliefs create inertia in the mind, requiring consistent application of the forgiveness process to shift perception and behavior.

December 27, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes / replay format) With Dr. Tim Hayes on vacation, the first hour features a replay focused on the connection between addiction recovery programs and the forgiveness work. The discussion highlights the holiday season as a time of increased stress, loneliness, and emotional triggers, particularly around family dynamics and substance use. Drawing parallels between Alcoholics Anonymous and the forgiveness process, the teaching emphasizes that perception is internally constructed and that healing involves changing the computations of the mind rather than attempting to change external circumstances. The concept of forgiveness is reframed as removing the root of pain within the mind, aligning perception with truth and love. The conversation underscores that true recovery involves addressing the underlying patterns that drive behavior, creating a clearer and more coherent experience of life.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/6Cq34JMJNA4 December 27, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce continue the discussion of stress during the holiday season, emphasizing that stress is not caused by external events but by unfulfilled goals held within the mind. Ryce explains that when individuals encounter people or situations tied to unresolved issues, those goals become activated, generating stress and emotional reactions. He introduces the concept of the “holy instant” as the moment when perception collapses after canceling a goal, allowing access to truth. The discussion also explores power person dynamics, explaining how early life experiences shape behavioral patterns that are reactivated under stress. Forgiveness is presented as the process of canceling goals and dismantling these patterns, allowing individuals to move beyond reactive behavior into conscious choice and healing.

December 28, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes / replay format) The replayed first hour continues exploring the relationship between addiction recovery models and forgiveness work, emphasizing that human beings are designed to live as expressions of love. The discussion highlights how unresolved trauma, pain, and conditioning lead individuals away from this natural state into patterns of fear, rage, and suffering. The teaching reinforces that forgiveness is the process of removing what does not belong, allowing the restoration of one’s true nature. Through the lens of addiction recovery, it becomes clear that healing requires addressing the root causes of distress rather than managing symptoms, aligning perception with truth and supporting a return to coherent living.

December 29, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes / replay format) The first hour continues the replay series comparing Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step program with the Aramaic forgiveness work, emphasizing how both systems address deep-rooted patterns of pain and addiction. The discussion highlights the concept of a “healing crisis,” where increased vitality and awareness bring forward previously hidden or suppressed energies for processing. Using examples from mystics such as Mother Teresa, the conversation reframes prolonged suffering not as spiritual failure but as unresolved internal content surfacing without the tools to release it. The teaching underscores that symptoms—whether emotional, physical, or psychological—are the result of generational and stored energetic patterns. Without a method for removing these patterns, individuals may endure prolonged distress. The integration of 12-step principles with Aramaic forgiveness is presented as a way to expand one’s toolkit, allowing for more effective and efficient healing by directly addressing and releasing the root causes of pain.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/-uEFIRWAJ5w December 29, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce focus on the concept of the “holy instant” as a continuous opportunity to choose love over fear in each moment. Ryce expands on the idea that much of human experience is based in mental constructs or “fantasies” that may function socially but often distort reality and create dis-ease within the body-mind system. He explains that all experience is energetic and that the quality of one’s thoughts directly impacts physiological function, either supporting life or contributing to breakdown. Forgiveness is presented as the tool for removing disintegrative energies such as hostility and fear, allowing the system to return to its natural state of coherence. The discussion emphasizes that emotions are internal signals, not caused by others, and that projection is the mind’s attempt to externalize internal content. By taking responsibility for these internal dynamics and applying forgiveness, individuals can restore their true nature as love and move beyond the illusions that create suffering.

December 30, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes / replay format) The replayed first hour focuses on the foundations of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, emphasizing that human beings live in an energetic reality rather than a purely physical one. The teaching challenges the cultural belief that pain is caused by external events, clarifying that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook but about accessing and removing internal patterns that generate pain. The discussion highlights the limitations of traditional interpretations of forgiveness and introduces the Aramaic understanding as a precise technology for transforming the mind. By recognizing that perception is internally generated, individuals can shift from blame to responsibility and begin the process of releasing stored emotional content. The teaching reinforces that true healing requires engaging directly with one’s own internal dynamics rather than attempting to change external circumstances.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/eWARn_nOUWY December 30, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce deepen the exploration of generational patterns and the mechanics of perception, emphasizing that inherited energetic patterns from ancestors shape present experiences. Ryce explains that what appears in one’s life is not random but is resonated by internal content, often originating from generations past. Forgiveness is presented as the means of accessing and dissolving these inherited patterns, bringing them into awareness in the presence of love. He also clarifies the Aramaic meaning of forgiveness as “cancellation of goals,” explaining that goals drive perception by recruiting specific data from the mind. When a goal is canceled, the perceptual construct collapses, revealing the underlying content for healing. The discussion further emphasizes that perception is entirely constructed within the mind, not perceived directly from the outside world, and that understanding this shifts individuals out of blame and into responsibility, opening the door to transformation.

December 31, 2021 – ACIM (Dr. Tim Hayes / replay format) The final ACIM segment of the year focuses on MindShifters as a tool for accessing and transforming unconscious content. The discussion explains how specific statements are used to resonate hidden beliefs and emotional patterns, bringing them into awareness for processing. Participants are encouraged to write out their responses to MindShifter statements, allowing unconscious material to surface. The teaching emphasizes that healing involves uncovering and releasing false beliefs about oneself, particularly those rooted in power person dynamics and early conditioning. The conversation also highlights the importance of community and shared intention in amplifying healing, reinforcing that working together in a supportive environment enhances the depth and effectiveness of the process.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/gKrOTySnbKQ December 31, 2021 – Why Again (Dr. Michael Ryce) Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce close out the year with a comprehensive teaching on the nature of perception, the holy instant, and the mechanics of thought as it relates to physiology and experience. Ryce explains that perception is a construct of the mind based on past data, and that living from this past-based perception prevents access to the true present. He introduces the concept of neuropeptides as the biological expression of thought, illustrating how each thought influences cellular function and even gene expression. When perception is based in fear or hostility, it signals threat to the cells, compromising their function; when based in love, it supports vitality and coherence. The holy instant is described as the moment when perception collapses and one experiences direct connection to truth and love. Ryce reinforces that forgiveness is the only way to dismantle false perceptions and generational distortions, allowing individuals to live from a state of conscious, active, present love. The show concludes with a call to align one’s mind with truth, recognizing that changing internal theories transforms perception and experience. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/yta3GVQHuHk |
