ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
January 3, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce welcomed Dale Allen Hoffman for the launch of a new series called “Aramaic Friday,” a deep dive into ancient Aramaic wisdom and its relevance to personal healing and consciousness. The conversation unfolded with an enthusiastic exchange about their upcoming retreats—Dr. Ryce’s intensive in Costa Rica and Dale’s weekend event in New Jersey titled Embracing the Cosmic Christ. Dr. Ryce shared his vision for a “Heartland South” center in Costa Rica, noting the country’s progressive stance on healthcare, environmental sustainability, and peaceful governance, such as having abolished its military in 1948. He admired its alignment with conscious living, which mirrors the show’s core teachings of internal transformation through forgiveness. The central discussion revolved around the Aramaic language, especially the deeper meanings of words like “Christ” and “forgiveness.” Dale emphasized that “Christ” is not a name but a title, referring to a state of being—a “channel of God” or a fully opened energy center, often linked with the “Christ chakra.” He elaborated on the historical and linguistic misconceptions that have shaped modern theology, contrasting them with original Aramaic meanings that focus on experiential presence and internal movement of energy rather than external dogma. The example of Mary Magdalene having seven “demons” cast out was reframed to mean seven blocked energy centers being stimulated into motion by Yeshua, aligning with ancient understandings of chakras and inner transformation. Dale also expanded on how Aramaic teachings differ from Greek translations and modern religious interpretations. He introduced the concept of Pardes, the four levels of scriptural interpretation—Peshat (literal), Remez (hint), Drash (comparative), and Sod (mystical/experiential)—explaining how Aramaic words like “Abwoon” (Our Father) reveal rich, layered meanings beyond simple translation. He tied this into a larger conversation about healing, noting that real forgiveness, as taught in the Aramaic tradition, involves releasing blocked emotional energy rather than merely pardoning others. The dialogue returned repeatedly to the idea that real healing happens through presence, toning, and energetic movement—tools that allow individuals to become clear, conscious channels of love and awareness. A caller, Julie, asked about the living, energetic quality of each Aramaic letter and how much is lost in translation. Dale and Michael affirmed that modern written forms often obscure this vitality, and emphasized the importance of sound, vibration, and intention behind words. They discussed how “Milta,” often translated as “word,” actually refers to a direct experience or living presence—something feminine, fluid, and experiential rather than fixed and conceptual. The show concluded with reflections on the misuse of language across cultures and the role of “babble” in keeping people trapped in misunderstanding. Both Dr. Ryce and Dale reiterated that true awakening requires unlearning conditioned thought systems and returning to the raw energetic experience of words, sound, and meaning. Dale shared how his journey into toning began spontaneously at Heartland in 1995 and emphasized the value of real-time forgiveness in opening oneself to divine presence.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
January 10, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce welcomed Dale Allen Hoffman for their second installment of Aramaic Friday, continuing an in-depth exploration of the ancient Aramaic language as a functional and experiential path of healing, rather than merely an academic pursuit. Dr. Ryce introduced the concept of “functional Aramaicists” to describe their approach—committed not just to studying sacred texts but to embodying the spiritual technologies within them. Dale shared a personal story of being at a Semitic languages conference where scholarly debate about the meaning of Aramaic words dominated the discussion. When he challenged attendees to actually practice the teachings instead of debating them, he was met with ridicule. That experience, he said, solidified his decision to pursue Aramaic teachings as a living, breathing path to transformation, not as an intellectual exercise. Dale and Dr. Ryce explored the deeper implications of Aramaic as a language of healing and direct connection to Source. Dale emphasized that Aramaic was spoken by those historically considered “swine” or outcasts by the elite, but in truth, it preserved the wisdom teachings of figures like Yeshua (Jesus). Ryce recounted how a Jewish rabbi once told him that “all the wisdom keepers were Aramaic” and invited him to speak at a synagogue and Holocaust Museum, with the only condition being that he not use the term “Christ.” Ryce adapted his workshop to focus on Old Testament Aramaic and led a group through a forgiveness process around the Holocaust—one of the most powerful healing sessions he had ever experienced. The show also discussed Aramaic as a “language of the angels,” not in a mystical sense but as a primal, vibrational language that carries intrinsic spiritual frequency. Dale shared how numerous people have approached him over the years describing dreams with Aramaic phrases—long before they consciously knew the language—supporting the idea that Aramaic resonates at a soul level. He explained how Aramaic words such as rucha (breath/spirit) were originally feminine and described movement, presence, and aliveness, very different from the more abstract and masculine translations such as “spiritus” in Latin. The meaning of phrases like “poor in spirit” in the Beatitudes was also corrected: rather than denoting lack, the Aramaic maskin suggests being “empty” or “open,” as in spiritually receptive and at home in one’s breath. Dr. Ryce highlighted the functionality embedded within Aramaic grammar, such as the suffix “ta” indicating unconscious action and the “u” sound pointing to enacted behavior. These linguistic insights reveal a sophisticated awareness of internal dynamics and spiritual causality thousands of years before modern psychology. Dale noted how most modern religious teachings are entangled in misinterpretations, often stemming from Greek or King James English translations that distort original Aramaic meanings. He passionately critiqued how theological extremism, especially among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim fundamentalists, is fueled by fragmented translations and egoic belief systems. Instead, Dale emphasized that the true teachings of Yeshua—and even Muhammad—centered on inner unity, not outer dogma. The hosts delved further into the original Aramaic meaning of “Satan” as “the resistor” or “one who misleads,” and how denial and blame trap people in cycles of suffering. Ryce pointed out that the path to healing requires dropping resistance, owning one’s internal emotional states, and forgiving what has been suppressed. Dale explained that the Qur’an was originally written in Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic), and many modern misinterpretations come from mistranslating these root texts into Arabic. This misunderstanding has contributed to spiritual distortions across traditions. They emphasized the importance of living the truth rather than debating it and encouraged listeners to bring presence and love into action as the true measure of spiritual progress. As the show concluded, Dale shared practical insights from his toning practice and affirmed that when one opens fully to divine breath, healing happens. He described his pre-speaking rituals that include quietly chanting “Avun” or “Tay, Tay Malkutha” (an invocation of divine presence) to align himself with spirit before presenting. Dr. Ryce closed the show by affirming that Aramaic is not just a “miracle language” but a language that fosters miracles when lived. They agreed that the future lies in experiential spirituality—breathing life into sacred teachings by living them, not just interpreting them.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
January 17, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce hosted Dale Allen Hoffman for their third installment of Aramaic Friday. This conversation centered around the healing potential embedded in Aramaic teachings and the experience of spiritual presence that transcends intellectual understanding. Dale began by describing his journey into Aramaic, emphasizing that he was not academically trained in the language but rather guided by experiential wisdom, prayer, and consistent engagement with the vibrational essence of the words. He shared how his connection to Aramaic emerged naturally through his toning practice and spiritual openness, rather than through formal study, and noted that the energy of the language speaks directly to the heart and nervous system. Dr. Ryce and Dale agreed that Aramaic is not meant to be studied the way modern languages are, but rather experienced as a “language of being.” They discussed how the original spiritual texts were encoded with vibrational frequencies that resonate with core aspects of human consciousness. The dialogue emphasized that healing through the Aramaic language happens by embodying the energies of the words, not by analyzing them intellectually. They addressed how translation into Greek and then English often stripped Aramaic teachings of their depth and nuance, reducing rich experiential wisdom into mere concepts. Dale explained that much of his own spiritual growth occurred when he stopped asking Aramaic to reveal itself intellectually and instead opened his body and spirit to receive its resonance directly. The show featured a powerful discussion on the concept of forgiveness in the Aramaic tradition. Rather than “letting someone off the hook,” as it is often misinterpreted in modern usage, forgiveness in Aramaic is a process of removing internal energetic blocks that inhibit love and presence. The word “shbag” (forgive) in Aramaic conveys the idea of release and letting go, and Dale described forgiveness as “remembering how to love.” Dr. Ryce echoed this, explaining that when we are triggered emotionally, what surfaces is not about the other person but unprocessed content within ourselves. They both emphasized that forgiveness is not something we do to someone else but a profound internal healing that frees the individual from past pain, denial, and generational trauma. Dale also described how being present with emotions, rather than avoiding or suppressing them, allows for healing to occur. He gave the example of grief following the loss of a loved one, explaining that such feelings are not wrong but are opportunities to sit with energy that is seeking to move. In doing so, the energy of loss can be alchemized into a deeper sense of connection and spiritual awareness. Dr. Ryce added that our emotional discomfort often points us to areas of our minds and bodies where healing is needed, and that true transformation requires ownership of those internal patterns. The show closed with a reflection on the idea that humanity is undergoing a spiritual awakening, and that reclaiming ancient tools such as Aramaic forgiveness and breath-based practices is part of that process. Dale shared his sense that sacred sound and presence are leading the way into a new era of consciousness. Dr. Ryce invited listeners to practice the forgiveness process and to become living demonstrations of love and healing in their own lives. The episode was a call to remember that spiritual wisdom is not something external to be attained but is already within, waiting to be uncovered through awareness, breath, and presence.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
January 24, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce welcomed Dale Allen Hoffman for another installment of Aramaic Friday, continuing their exploration of the healing potential found in the Aramaic teachings of Yeshua. Dale opened the conversation by highlighting how few people are truly living in the present moment. He suggested that most people are stuck in patterns of thought that are either past-based or anticipatory, rarely engaging with the now, which is where authentic spiritual experience takes place. He shared that in his own workshops, he often invites participants into presence by stripping away conceptual thinking and guiding them back into their bodies through breath and toning. His focus was on integrating rather than escaping the human experience—seeing life’s challenges as sacred rather than problems to be solved. Dr. Ryce reinforced the idea that presence is essential to healing, especially in the context of Aramaic forgiveness. He emphasized that what people perceive as external conflict or emotional upset is often the result of unconscious internal energies coming to the surface. The Aramaic concept of forgiveness, as they reiterated, is about releasing those stored energies—not about pardoning an offender, but about purifying oneself of the resonance that generates pain. The use of tools like the Reality Management Wake-Up Sheet was encouraged as a way to process these internal blocks and restore the capacity to love. The show also delved into the Aramaic language as a living transmission of spiritual energy, rather than merely a system of words. Dale described how each Aramaic letter has energetic significance and how toning or chanting those sounds can awaken ancient cellular memory and rewire the nervous system. He connected this to the concept of the “Rukha d’Koodsha”—the Holy Spirit or Sacred Breath—as an active, moving force rather than a passive, abstract idea. This breath-based consciousness, he explained, is central to the teachings of Yeshua, who embodied divine love and forgiveness as practical and vibrational experiences. Dale also spoke about the importance of emotional responsibility and how most people unconsciously project unresolved pain onto others. He described a recent experience in a workshop where participants were encouraged to sit with their discomfort rather than flee from it, which led to profound openings. Dr. Ryce added that the mind will always try to escape responsibility by generating reasons for pain or blame, but healing only occurs when one reclaims ownership of inner experience. They agreed that true spiritual practice is not about bypassing human pain but about transforming it through conscious presence, breath, and forgiveness. As the show concluded, Dale and Dr. Ryce called for a collective shift toward embodied spirituality—one that brings ancient tools like Aramaic forgiveness and breath-centered practices into modern awareness. They encouraged listeners to become aware of their projections, stay with their emotional reactions, and return to breath as the portal to divine presence. Rather than seeking escape, the invitation was to deepen into what is—and to allow that presence to become the foundation for healing and transformation.

ARAMAIC FRIDAY with special guest: Dale Allen Hoffman
January 31, 2014 episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce were joined once again by Dale Allen Hoffman for another Aramaic Friday. The show began with a deep exploration of the experiential nature of true spirituality and the necessity of presence in the healing process. Dale reflected on how modern spirituality often becomes overly conceptual, and he emphasized that true spiritual awakening only occurs when one becomes fully present to their inner experience. He shared how most people are conditioned to think their way out of pain, rather than sit with it and allow healing through breath, vibration, and the release of blocked energies. Dr. Ryce echoed this sentiment, highlighting how Aramaic forgiveness is designed to dissolve the inner energetic roots of pain rather than merely addressing surface-level issues. They emphasized that this process is not about intellectually understanding teachings, but rather about applying them in one’s moment-to-moment awareness. Dale described how words in the Aramaic language carry an energetic imprint and that chanting or toning them activates healing frequencies within the nervous system. He spoke about how Aramaic is a language of light and sound that invites people back into harmony with their divine nature, not through dogma but through direct experience of breath and tone. The conversation touched on the importance of remembering rather than learning—of reconnecting with the truth already within rather than acquiring new concepts. Dale emphasized that sacred practices are about restoring awareness to the present moment, where transformation becomes possible. He described how resistance to emotional pain, especially through denial or projection, keeps people trapped in suffering. Dr. Ryce supported this by explaining that pain surfaces not because someone else caused it, but because there is internal content ready to be healed. The two discussed the use of tools like the Reality Management Wake-Up Sheet and the importance of tracking one’s emotions to dissolve unconscious patterns. A significant portion of the show focused on language and its role in shaping perception. Dale described how modern English, particularly biblical translations, often misrepresents the original meaning of Aramaic texts. For instance, the word translated as “evil” in English actually refers in Aramaic to something incomplete or immature, rather than morally wrong. This reframe removes the shame often attached to emotional pain and invites a more compassionate engagement with the healing process. Dr. Ryce pointed out that such misinterpretations can lead to deeply embedded cultural distortions that reinforce guilt and disempowerment, rather than encourage healing and ownership. As the episode closed, both Dale and Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to trust their inner wisdom and to return to the breath as the sacred access point for reconnecting with divine presence. They reminded the audience that forgiveness is not an act of the mind but a surrender into presence and a willingness to feel what is asking to be released. Rather than striving for enlightenment, the invitation was to soften into the truth of one’s being and to allow love to dissolve the barriers within. The show reaffirmed the core message of their work: that healing is not about fixing but about remembering who we are beneath our conditioning.
