February 1, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie open this MindShifters Radio conversation by discussing an updated Commitment statement emphasizing “my connection to Love, our Source,” gratitude for relationship, and serenity being more important than any issue. Dr. Ryce then turns to discussing rage, describing both explosive rage and quieter forms of hostility and emphasizing that the person generating rage experiences its effects first. He presents rage as an internally generated state used to cover underlying pain rather than as the original emotion itself. Drawing on Carl Jung, the discussion examines how unconscious, generationally transmitted thoughts can take control of perception and behavior until they are brought into awareness and healed.
The conversation explores Jung’s warning about the destructive power of unreal thoughts and his teaching that what remains unconscious can direct our lives while appearing to be fate. Dr. Ryce connects this to the “tyrant mind,” explaining how unresolved hostility, fear and pain can affect individuals, marriages, families and even nations. First-century Aramaic Forgiveness is presented as a repeatable process for bringing unconscious material into awareness so it can be exposed to active Love and removed rather than projected onto other people. The discussion then connects forgiveness with perception. What we ordinarily call seeing is described as a construct generated within the mind from incoming sensory information and the contents already stored within us. The world of perception therefore reveals the perceiver’s internal content rather than giving an unfiltered picture of actuality. Dr. Ryce connects this understanding to Y’Shua’s warning about judging by appearances and explains that forgiveness provides a way to collapse painful perceptual constructs, uncover the unconscious material beneath them and restore awareness of Love. Commitment becomes part of maintaining that connection to Love while old patterns are healed.

The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.” Revised My Commitment (from yesterday) |

February 2, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie and guest Mark explore the Beatitudes as practical instructions for transformation rather than religious statements promising future rewards. Mark shares how the Beatitudes became a roadmap during a major personal crisis and inspired his Beatitudes practice. The conversation grows from guidance Dr. Ryce received during a deep StillPoint session about expanding the understanding of the Aramaic word Rukha. Rather than reducing Rukha simply to “breath,” Dr. Ryce describes Breath as one expression of the eternal active forces from the Creator.
They explore how hostility, fear, grief and trauma held in carbon-based memory can distort the inclinations of these active forces. The human structure is discussed as an energetic receiving system through which these forces can guide behavior when interference from the past is removed. Mark reflects on experiences in which words and creative expression seemed to arise through him rather than from deliberate intellectual construction, illustrating what it can mean to yield to something beyond conditioned thought. The larger invitation is to approach the Beatitudes experientially: clear the internal distortions that interfere with Rukha and become increasingly receptive to the Creator’s active forces. Breath, StillPoint, Forgiveness and conscious practice become ways of moving beyond carbon-based memory into direct participation with these forces. The Beatitudes therefore become a living roadmap for individuals, families and communities rather than simply beautiful words to admire. YouTube https://youtu.be/EhfZP1wrFP8 |

February 3, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie explore the difference between actuality and the perceptual worlds constructed by the human mind. Dr. Ryce challenges the familiar assumption that we simply look through our eyes and see what is outside us. Instead, sensory data enters the system and the mind constructs perception from a tiny fraction of available information combined with material already stored within us. He uses the “nine-bit mind” metaphor to illustrate how little information reaches conscious awareness compared with the immense amount of information potentially available.
This understanding becomes central to responsibility. When people believe their internal reality is being caused by someone outside themselves, victimhood and projection follow. Conscious creation begins with recognizing that the output of one’s own mind is perception. The question then becomes whether we create through accumulated hostility and fear or increasingly allow Love and Truth to shape our experience. A caller’s relationship concerns bring the teaching into practical application. Dr. Ryce recommends Responsibility Communication: remaining connected to Love, owning what arises internally, asking for support and declining participation in destructive patterns. Developing these skills requires practice because many people were taught generational patterns that operate in precisely the opposite way. Healing therefore includes “building the brain cells” for a new response instead of automatically reproducing the behavior modeled by Power Persons and family systems.

February 4, 2022 Beginning with reflections on his granddaughter, Dr. Michael Ryce explores a radically different understanding of parenting. The adult’s task, he suggests, is to become a space of Love that supports the child’s already-created essence rather than constructing a mold and requiring the child to fit into it. Disapproval, expectations and unresolved parental programming can distort that process, while Forgiveness allows adults to heal what was imposed upon them so those patterns cease being transmitted to another generation.
The same principle applies to reparenting ourselves. Adults can remove the “dents” created by old messages, judgments, hostility and fear and increasingly become a space of Love for their own Being. The program explores Power Person programming and the way inherited messages become internal structures that continue influencing identity, relationships and behavior. Dr. Ryce leads listeners through an experiential process using Breath and imagination. Participants are invited to imagine Power Persons offering the Love, respect, truth, affection, fairness and support that may have been missing in childhood. Rather than waiting for another person to change, the individual can bring that new commitment into their own physiology and ultimately offer it to themselves. The process emphasizes responsibility for internal healing and the restoration of Love as the active state from which relationships are lived. YouTube https://youtu.be/El3o1iFbqBg Additional notes:Be the space for the child to incarnate into form. We need to be aware of things that come up in us that are less than Love and not introduce distorted thoughts. michael walked us through a meditation of our birth, imagination bringing about the sweet expression of support. Reading the new Commitment. Recognize and offer that to yourself and breathe it in.. Collapse perception by cancelling the goal |

February 7, 2022 Jeanie begins by sharing family experiences, including her father’s changing condition, and reflects on looking for opportunities for healing even in difficult circumstances. Dr. Michael Ryce expands the discussion into his developing understanding of illness, energetic patterns and healing. He presents the body as an energetic system and discusses his view that challenging physical experiences may resonate previously stored mental and emotional material, bringing it into awareness where it can potentially be processed.
The discussion emphasizes that healing is not simply a “Dr. Feelgood” process. Material coming forward for healing may initially be uncomfortable, and willingness becomes essential. Rather than fighting an experience, participants are encouraged to use Breath, Forgiveness and other tools to work consciously with whatever has surfaced. The show repeatedly returns to the distinction between symptoms and underlying energetic patterns. Physical, mental and emotional experiences are treated as information that can invite deeper self-examination rather than merely as enemies to suppress. The central invitation is to meet what arises with willingness, responsibility and active Love, using difficult experiences as opportunities to uncover and transform deeper patterns.

February 8, 2022 This highly interactive program centers on participants doing their own healing work. Julie describes finally moving into a deeper level of processing after longing to reconnect with her true Being. She reports numerous insights and releases and an increased ability to approach her relationship from a different internal state. The conversation demonstrates the difference between intellectually understanding the tools and actually applying them when painful material is active.
Dr. Michael Ryce emphasizes that healing can include experiences that feel uncomfortable while old material is moving. The purpose is therefore broader than feeling good in every moment; it is restoring the internal conditions that allow conscious, active, present Love to emerge. Support from others can help a person remain willing and continue the process when difficult material surfaces. Relationship difficulties are repeatedly reframed as opportunities to discover what has been activated within oneself. Rather than making the other person the cause, participants examine the internal memories, goals, expectations and emotional patterns resonated by the relationship. Breath, MindShifters, StillPoint, Forgiveness and Responsibility Communication are presented as practical ways to move through these patterns and return increasingly to Being.

February 9, 2022 Jeanie shares a deeply personal healing experience after awakening in a depressed state with the thought that she did not belong. Initially unwilling to breathe, she later became ready and entered a Breath session with Dr. Michael Ryce. Material connected with her mother, childhood and leaving home at sixteen surfaced. Through the process, Jeanie describes experiencing a release and emerging from the depression in a significantly different state. Dr. Ryce reminds her that she had absorbed Power Person messages and generational patterns that did not define the truth of who she was as a child.
Their discussion expands into generational healing, including patterns carried through women in Jeanie’s family. Dr. Ryce emphasizes the importance of developing the awareness—the “brain cells”—to recognize what is happening internally and know which healing tool to apply. Each person who brings unconscious material into awareness and heals it potentially changes what is transmitted forward through the family system. Another participant discusses religious condemnation, self-hatred and difficulty honoring herself. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that Forgiveness means removing internal content rather than letting another person “off the hook.” The conversation explores healing old messages of condemnation while establishing relationships based upon equality, truth and self-respect. YouTube https://youtu.be/TpjbY50WD3M Additional note: MindShifter “It is safe, healing and easy for me to gently open every part of my mind that I have closed through fear of condemnation and hell.” “It is far better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.” ― William Lonsdale Watkinson |

February 10, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie explore one of the foundational distinctions in their work: reality versus actuality. Dr. Ryce recalls scientist Bob Beck introducing him to this terminology decades earlier and connects it with contemporary neuroscience discussing how the brain constructs what we experience through the senses. What we ordinarily call the world we “see” is described as the mind’s internally generated perceptual representation rather than actuality itself.
Eyes are described as receivers of light information rather than windows through which consciousness directly observes the external world. Different creatures receive different information and consequently construct dramatically different perceptual worlds. Human perception likewise depends upon the information entering the system and the content already active within the brain/body system. This distinction has profound implications for responsibility and Forgiveness. If painful perception is constructed within the mind, transformation becomes possible within the mind as well. Instead of attempting to force the outside world to conform to an internal picture, the individual can examine the content producing that picture. Forgiveness becomes the process for removing distorted internal material so perception can collapse and greater contact with actuality becomes possible. YouTube https://youtu.be/rQ8NtqYh4Nw |

February 11, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie discuss Forgiveness, generational healing and the creation of safe family relationships. The program includes reflections on a recent presentation about healing generational patterns and explores how family systems can unconsciously teach suppression, threat, hostility, sarcasm and avoidance of difficult truths. These behaviors may become so familiar that they appear normal even while damaging relationships.
A powerful example examines recognizing threat in communication and replacing it with honest communication grounded in Love. Family patterns that once made certain subjects unsafe to discuss can be consciously transformed by creating relationships in which spouses, parents and children are supported in telling the truth. The emphasis shifts from demanding that another person change to taking responsibility for one’s own behavior and making relationship more important than winning an issue. The larger teaching is that generational healing happens when someone becomes willing to interrupt the inherited pattern. Instead of carrying unresolved issues forward, individuals can acknowledge their behavior, communicate openly, use Forgiveness to remove the underlying pain and establish a new family pattern organized around Love, truth, respect and safety.

February 14, 2022 On Valentine’s Day, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie begin with songwriter Stacy’s “We All Choose,” using its theme of choice as a doorway into the day’s discussion. The song’s message that we can repeatedly reproduce the story written from our past or begin writing differently parallels the central MindShifters teaching that human beings are creators. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that much creation occurs unconsciously, which helps explain why people repeatedly experience outcomes they consciously say they do not want.
The discussion examines Love, choice, responsibility, perception and the unconscious “asker” behind what we create. Participants explore how past programming influences present experience and how Aramaic Forgiveness can uncover and remove the internal material generating recurring realities. Callers deepen the conversation through questions about relationships, conflicting realities and healing. Dr. Ryce distinguishes actuality from individual interpretations of events and encourages finding common ground where differing realities can be discussed respectfully. Cooperation and communication become possible when people recognize that each person may be responding to an internally constructed reality rather than possessing the whole truth about what occurred. The program ultimately returns to the Valentine’s Day theme at a deeper level: choosing Love means bringing Love consciously into perception, communication and relationship while using the experiences that disturb us as invitations to heal what remains within. YouTube https://youtu.be/QwCZ4AqgbLA Additional notes: We All Choose by Stacey Fitzgerald Francois Fenelon “As the light increases, we see ourselves to be worse than we thought. We are amazed at our former blindness as we see issuing forth from the depths of our heart a whole swarm of shameful feelings, like filthy reptiles crawling from a hidden cave. We never could have believed that we had harbored such things, and we stand aghast as we watch them gradually appear. But while our faults diminish, the light by which we see them waxes brighter, and we are filled with horror. Bear in mind, for your comfort, that we only perceive our malady when the cure begins.” |

February 15, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie explore how human growth can become restricted when we place ourselves inside mental, emotional, physical or spiritual “containers.” Jeanie shares an early-morning insight comparing people with living organisms whose growth is limited when habitat, nourishment and opportunity are restricted. She connects this with inherited adaptations: patterns originally developed for survival can become encoded and passed through generations, eventually limiting the fuller expression of Being. Dr. Ryce relates this to Rukha d’Qudsha, described in the discussion as the feminine elemental force that undoes the effects of error and reveals Truth. As old adaptations are Forgiven, the mind becomes increasingly available to listen to direct inner guidance.
The conversation emphasizes the importance of continually “feeding” consciousness through study, Breath, Forgiveness and conversations that build new brain cells. Dr. Ryce explains that when the distortions created by fear, hostility, trauma and generational conditioning are removed, the individual can more fully incarnate as the Being they actually are. A caller provides a practical example after becoming angry with a woman at a laboratory. Just before reacting, she heard internally, “This is about you.” That recognition immediately shifted her from blame into responsibility, compassion and freedom. The program also includes a reading about releasing desire, generational delusion and false images of self so physiology can increasingly embody Love. Relationships are presented as opportunities to restore awareness of our birthright rather than sources from which Love must be obtained.

February 16, 2022 This episode offers one of Dr. Michael Ryce’s most detailed explanations of how First-Century Aramaic Forgiveness works. He begins with perception, emphasizing that seeing, hearing, tasting and smelling occur through interpretations constructed by the brain rather than as direct experiences of the external world. Painful perception is therefore an internally generated construct assembled from unconscious material.
The central breakthrough is the role of the goal. When a person holds a goal for someone or something and that goal is violated, the goal recruits matching pain content from carbon-based memory and builds a perceptual image around the object of attention. The individual then mistakenly experiences the other person as the cause. When the goal is canceled, that perceptual structure collapses “on its own footprint,” opening direct access to the unconscious material that had been projected outward. Before canceling the goal, Love is brought conscious, active and present. Once the perception collapses, the previously dissociated pain becomes available to the presence of Love. Dr. Ryce defines this dissolution as Forgiveness: removal of what never belonged in the system. The individual then invites Rukha d’Qudsha—the Breath and feminine power that “undoes the effects of our errors and teaches us the Truth”—to perform the Forgiving. Human conscious awareness cannot trace and repair generations of hidden material, but the Breath can access what the nine-bit conscious mind cannot. Doug calls in afterward, providing an opportunity to apply the teaching to a real-life situation and demonstrate how language itself reveals the unconscious goals and projections ready to be healed.

Jeanie explained when she got Covid: my fear came up big time, fear based in survival, along with isolation and separation. Covid is a frequency and it was a reflection, symptoms of what I held inside already. |

February 17, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie continue building on the previous day’s detailed explanation of Aramaic Forgiveness. They encourage listeners to hear the teaching repeatedly, explaining that repetition helps build the brain cells necessary to perceive something the mind previously lacked the structure to understand. Dr. Ryce emphasizes listening closely to one’s own language because words expose the goals, beliefs and projections through which unconscious material is being expressed.
Doug briefly returns after the previous day’s processing and says he is not yet ready to continue because much has opened and he is moving through confusion toward greater clarity. This becomes part of the teaching: genuine processing can temporarily disturb familiar mental organization while deeper material reorganizes. The discussion expands into generational healing and the meaning of “sin” as an archery term meaning off the mark rather than moral condemnation. Dr. Ryce describes generations of hostility, fear, rage, guilt, grief and trauma as patterns carried within carbon-based memory. Healing involves progressively cleaning up those patterns so the individual can return to the Truth of Being. He emphasizes that this work is available to anyone willing to practice rather than something reserved for an “advanced” person.

February 18, 2022 This episode explores purpose, “karmic maturity,” Rakhma, generational programming and the importance of having practical tools for living. A caller describes an idea from astrology that a soul may reach a stage of karmic maturity when living out its deeper purpose becomes increasingly urgent. Dr. Michael Ryce connects this with his own teaching about incarnation and Rakhma: intentions arising from Being can be distorted by generational programming unless the gateway of Love remains active.
The conversation returns to an earlier theme of parents creating restrictive containers for children. Rather than imposing a predetermined mold, adults can heal their own Power Person patterns and become a space in which a child’s unique Being can unfold. Doing one’s own work therefore becomes a generational gift. Dr. Ryce reads “Life Without Tools,” contrasting relationship without tools as codependence with relationship with tools as interdependence, power without tools as dictatorship with power used in service, and a world without tools as war with a world using tools as peaceful. Forgiveness is presented as the key tool for converting trauma-producing experiences into opportunities for expansion. The “kingdom of heaven” is discussed as the community of Love and an expanding inner condition rather than a distant location. The group also discusses The Way of Mastery and Open Focus, finding parallels between different languages for moving from contraction and narrow perception toward openness, awareness and Love. The program concludes that having information is insufficient; transformation comes from actually putting the tools to work. YouTube https://youtu.be/IOpOLg8T65Y |

February 21, 2022 With Dr. Michael Ryce traveling, Jeanie plays another installment of the earlier Beatitudes discussion. The central focus is Rakhma, described as the condition that keeps perception aligned with Love rather than allowing negative information and inherited conditioning to dominate the mind. Dr. Ryce compares Rakhma to an antivirus system protecting the mind from error.
A story about a 92-year-old man entering a retirement home illustrates the principle. Before seeing his room, he chooses to like it, explaining that happiness depends upon how he chooses to see rather than upon furniture or circumstances. Dr. Ryce presents this as an example of deliberately setting Rakhma and maintaining a condition in which the mind remains connected to Love. The discussion then revisits the First Beatitude. Rather than “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” the Aramaic teaching is presented as an instruction involving latent guidance structures implanted within the human mind. When these structures are activated and the individual makes a Home in the active forces from the Creator, the result is an inner “community of Love.” The Beatitudes are therefore treated as operating instructions for the human mind rather than promises of future reward. YouTube https://youtu.be/BhNSMTkjuFU Additional Notes: In December 2021 we had a caller Mark Hattas call in 4 days to discuss the Beatitudes in depth with michael.

February 22, 2022 Jeanie begins by updating listeners on family matters and the expanded collection of worksheets, MindShifters and Beatitudes resources available at whyagain.org. Dr. Michael Ryce joins from California, where spontaneous conversations have developed around nutrition, cranial work, Forgiveness and integrated health. He describes meeting people interested in developing health care that addresses causes rather than focusing primarily on disease management.
The conversation returns to Forgiveness and the growing clarity around why canceling the goal is so important. Canceling the goal interrupts the perceptual construct and creates access to unconscious material, giving the Breath an opportunity to address the actual inner cause instead of leaving attention fixed on an external person or circumstance. The program then continues the Beatitudes recordings. These teachings present the Beatitudes as practical instructions for maintaining Human Life, activating Rakhma and allowing the mind to function from Love rather than inherited hostility or fear. Jeanie also explains the many versions of the Reality Management Wake-Up Sheet and related tools, emphasizing that people can find the form that best supports their present level of practice.

February 23, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie and Mark continue their detailed exploration of the Beatitudes, emphasizing that they are a protocol for creating a sound Human Mind rather than religious philosophy. Dr. Ryce explains the Aramaic understanding of “law” as a description or recipe for how something works, making the Beatitudes part of the Laws of Living—a practical formula for Human Life.
The Beatitude traditionally rendered “Blessed are the peacemakers” is explored through its often-missed element of service. The Aramaic is presented as describing those who work effectively, through service, to produce serenity and understanding in harmony with the Creator. By serving humanity from this condition, the individual increasingly functions as an offspring or expression of the Creator. Mark connects this with his own healing after a psychotic break and with creative projects that arose as his mind became more open to inspiration. Service becomes a natural overflow of healing: as a person ripens into greater wholeness, what has been received inwardly is carried outward in ways that support restoration in others. Later Beatitudes address what happens as old habits dissolve and how others may resist or attack someone whose inner life is changing. The challenge is to maintain Being even when projected upon or misunderstood. Dr. Ryce identifies hostility as one of humanity’s deepest addictions—an anesthetic used to keep underlying pain from being felt and healed. Forgiveness allows the hostility to be relinquished so the pain underneath can finally be resolved. YouTube https://youtu.be/ehuN4UyO0Aw |

February 24, 2022 Dr. Michael Ryce offers an extended review of First-Century Aramaic Forgiveness, beginning with the distinction between Forgiveness and pardon. Pardon means letting another person—or oneself—off the hook for behavior. Forgiveness means removing the internal energies producing pain, fear, rage, guilt, grief, hatred or vengeance. If the pain is being experienced within us, it is our material to heal regardless of what occurred externally.
The practical sequence begins when a person notices that attention is fixed on someone else as the supposed cause of disturbance. The first move is Breath. Blaming another requires denial and dissociation, commonly accompanied by constriction of Breath. The individual then identifies the object of attention and discovers the unmet goal being held for that person or circumstance. If there is pain or turmoil, a goal is active and has recruited corresponding content from the unconscious. The person establishes active Love, identifies and cancels the goal, allowing the painful perception to collapse. What had been projected onto the other person can then emerge from the unconscious and become available to Rukha d’Qudsha for Forgiving. Relationships are described as perfect mirrors rather than diseased entities. The workshop once called “Healing Your Relationships” became “Healing Through Relationships” because every relationship reveals what remains unresolved within the participants. The test for whether an emotional experience belongs to you is simple: if you are feeling it, it is moving within you and is available for your healing. YouTube https://youtu.be/gCpmdknCheY |

February 25, 2022 With Dr. Michael Ryce away, Jeanie turns the radio show into a live personal processing session. She describes the difficult decision to move her father from skilled nursing into assisted living or memory care after COVID left him unable to function as he had previously. Although she understands intellectually that she did everything she could, guilt, self-blame, inadequacy and the wish to turn back time surface strongly. Jeanie recognizes that restoring her father’s health would merely change the external circumstance; it would not heal the internal material the circumstance activated.
Ann calls in and finds Jeanie’s experience activating similar guilt concerning her own mother. The conversation becomes a shared exploration of caregiving, aging parents, dementia and the belief that one should somehow have known more or done more. Susan then helps walk Jeanie through a Reality Management Wake-Up Sheet. Jeanie recognizes that much of her early life was lived in survival mode and explores her mother, grandmother and especially her father as Power Persons. Her father coped by leaving, and Jeanie recognizes how she repeated that pattern by leaving when situations became difficult. His present decline activates the old belief that he is “leaving” because she has somehow failed. The worksheet brings Jeanie back to connection with original Being. She cancels goals for her father to be whole and for herself to feel better, and invites Rukha toward healing. The program becomes an unusually transparent demonstration that knowing and teaching the tools does not eliminate the need to use them when deep generational material surfaces.

February 28, 2022 Jeanie returns after the weekend and reports that she is in a much better place following Friday’s live worksheet process. She thanks Susan for keeping her focused when her mind repeatedly moved toward side issues and says she continued doing additional worksheets over the weekend. Her experience demonstrates that deep processing often unfolds through several layers rather than resolving everything in one pass.
While sorting through family belongings, Jeanie finds old writings of her own and reads poetic reflections on nature, Breath and the Creator. Wind moving through leaves and grasses becomes an image of an invisible force whose presence can be recognized through its effects. The writing expresses being moved by the Breath and participating with others in creating an oasis of Love and serenity. Susan joins the conversation, and they discuss the value of willingness when using the worksheet. Susan contrasts Jeanie’s openness with previous situations in which people became resistant during public processing. The worksheet itself is appreciated as a neutral structure that keeps attention on one’s own material rather than on another person’s interpretation. The discussion expands to war, COVID, family crises and the idea that everyone faces some form of “storm.” The choice is whether to sink into the storm or use the tools to stay above it. Later, the group discusses observing judgmental thoughts without identifying with them. Like lighting even a small candle in darkness, bringing awareness and Love to a pattern changes one’s relationship with it. Participants emphasize discernment in healing relationships and choosing practices that genuinely serve healing rather than reinforcing fear.

Jeanie read her “Day Dream” posted on website at https://whyagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Jeanie_DayDreams.pdf Jeanie spoke of walking on water or sinking based on your focus. The stormy sea and yet when the boat rocks we panic, our anchor is the Christ mind then we remember. Like Peter his ego self looked down and he lost focus. The stormy sea is the world. Attention on love or fear. Our focus is the creative point of reference. Question: the word “energetic” this or that … what exactly is meant by that?
