Summary: In the second part of the Communication Workshop, Dr. Michael Ryce continues to explore the transformative power of responsibility communication as a tool for healing and building meaningful relationships. He begins by addressing the pervasive use of projection communication, where individuals blame others for their internal pain and emotional reactions. Dr. Ryce highlights how this approach hides the true sources of pain within oneself and prevents authentic healing and connection. In contrast, responsibility communication encourages individuals to own their emotional responses and seek support in addressing and healing them.

Dr. Ryce introduces practical steps to foster responsibility communication, such as acknowledging one’s emotions as internal and reframing communication to invite mutual understanding. By taking ownership of their feelings, individuals can express their experiences without assigning blame, creating a space for dialogue and healing. He emphasizes that unresolved pain is often a resonance of past trauma, and through responsibility communication, individuals can uncover and process these hidden dynamics. This practice not only heals the individual but also improves relational harmony by fostering mutual respect and understanding.

The session also delves into the physical and emotional impact of harboring unresolved emotions like anger, fear, and resentment. Dr. Ryce explains how these emotions create destructive biochemical patterns in the body, leading to disease and degeneration. By using responsibility communication alongside tools like the Reality Management Worksheet and forgiveness practices, individuals can recapture and transform these harmful energies, returning to a state of love and health. He connects these concepts to ancient Aramaic teachings, emphasizing that healing involves bringing hidden fears and hostilities into conscious awareness and dismantling them through love and responsibility.

Dr. Ryce concludes by encouraging consistent practice of responsibility communication, offering it as a path to unravel generational patterns of hostility and fear. He calls on participants to embrace love as their true nature and actively choose this state in their interactions, fostering emotional resilience and deeper connections. Through this approach, individuals can create a ripple effect of healing in their relationships and communities.

CoDependence to InterDependence Part 1 – worksheet that goes with this workshop is CO-DEPENDENCY WORKSHEET revised 2017 from Co-Dependence to Inter-Dependence (PDF format) Will not be available to download – but you can purchase on https://whyagain.org/shop/

https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/codependence-to-interdependence-part-1  support us by purchasing this MP4 at https://whyagain.org/product/co-dependence-to-inter-dependence/

Summary: In the Codependence to Interdependence Workshop, Dr. Michael Ryce explores the transformative journey from codependent dynamics to healthy, interdependent relationships. He emphasizes that codependence arises when individuals project internal pain onto others, falsely attributing their emotional turmoil to external sources. This projection prevents true healing and perpetuates patterns of blame and dysfunction in relationships.

Dr. Ryce introduces practical tools, such as the Codependence Worksheet, to help participants identify and address the root causes of their emotional pain. By listing those who have offended them and examining their own punitive thoughts and advice for others, participants uncover that much of what they project onto others is a reflection of their own unresolved internal struggles. He explains that the act of giving advice to others often mirrors the guidance individuals need to follow themselves.

The workshop also delves into the physics of perception, drawing on Einstein and Max Planck to illustrate how the mind constructs realities based on its internal content. Dr. Ryce challenges the notion of solid, external “bodies” as the source of pain, explaining that pain is generated from internal neuropeptides created by one’s thoughts and emotions. He introduces forgiveness, as understood in ancient Aramaic teachings, as the process of removing disintegrative energies from the self, rather than pardoning others.

Dr. Ryce connects codependence to addiction, noting that unresolved emotional pain often leads to compulsive behaviors as individuals seek temporary relief. He emphasizes that hostility is a form of internal addiction, masking deeper pain and blocking access to love and healing. Moving toward interdependence requires individuals to take full responsibility for their emotional states and create relationships that support mutual healing and growth.

The session concludes with a call to personal accountability. By embracing interdependence, participants can transform their relationships into spaces of liberation rather than conflict. This process requires cultivating love and dismantling internal hostility, fostering a life aligned with truth and emotional freedom.

1st hour prerecorded Corinne Zupko Award Winning Author of “From Anxiety to Love” https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/corinne-zupko-award-winning-author-of-from-anxiety-to-love  or listen on YouTube https://youtu.be/il5UtFOPukU

Summary: In this episode of MindShifters Radio, Corinne Zupko joins Tim Hayes, Dr. Michael Ryce, and Jeanie Ryce to discuss her journey of overcoming severe anxiety and how she developed practical tools for healing. Corinne shares her early struggles with separation anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic attacks that persisted into adulthood. Her transformative moment came when she discovered A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text that reshaped her understanding of fear and love.Corinne explains how the principles of A Course in Miracles helped her shift from a fear-based mindset to one grounded in love. By applying mindfulness, journaling, and self-reflective exercises, she was able to dismantle limiting beliefs and heal from debilitating anxiety. Her book, From Anxiety to Love, provides a step-by-step guide to these practices, offering readers mantras, journaling prompts, and meditative techniques. She emphasizes the importance of “calling forth witnesses to love” in one’s daily life, a process that involves consciously choosing to perceive situations through a lens of love rather than fear.The discussion highlights the distinction between two internal voices: the ego, which fuels fear, and the inner therapist, which represents love and truth. Corinne illustrates how pausing, breathing, and asking for guidance from the inner therapist can help individuals break free from the ego’s grip. She shares a personal story of overcoming fear in a medical setting, demonstrating the power of intentionally shifting focus from fear to love.Corinne also addresses the challenges of letting go and trusting in a higher perspective, emphasizing that healing requires willingness and honesty. By surrendering to the process and reframing challenges as opportunities for growth, individuals can experience profound emotional and spiritual transformation. The episode concludes with practical advice on integrating these tools into daily life and an invitation to explore her resources at From Anxiety to Love.

Summary: In the second part of the Codependence to Interdependence Workshop, Dr. Michael Ryce delves deeper into the transformation from living through a false self, shaped by trauma and power dynamics, to reclaiming one’s authentic being rooted in love. He begins by discussing how all humans are born as pure love, a state that is disrupted by interactions with “power persons” in early life—individuals who exert significant influence, often not grounded in love themselves. This dynamic leads to the creation of a “non-being self,” a false identity formed as a survival mechanism in response to unmet needs and trauma.

Dr. Ryce explains that the non-being self operates on three flawed strategies: attempting to figure everything out, seeking validation by fulfilling others’ expectations, and controlling people and circumstances to avoid pain. These strategies perpetuate patterns of projection, where internal pain is blamed on others, leading to codependent relationships. The only way to break free from these cycles is through forgiveness, as understood in ancient Aramaic teachings. Forgiveness involves removing false ideas and energies from one’s system, dismantling the non-being self, and restoring the authentic self as the active presence of love.

The workshop emphasizes the role of relationships as mirrors that reveal hidden traumas and unconscious patterns. By recognizing and addressing these patterns through tools like the Codependence Worksheet and forgiveness practices, individuals can stop projecting blame, heal their internal wounds, and create interdependent relationships based on mutual support and shared growth. Dr. Ryce introduces the concept of replacing old dynamics with conscious connections, where love is experienced as a state of being rather than as actions tied to fulfilling others’ needs.

Dr. Ryce concludes with a meditative exercise, inviting participants to reconnect with their true nature as beings of love and to extend that love outward, transforming not only their personal lives but also the collective energy of their communities. He reinforces that choosing to live as the active presence of love awakens light and healing in others, creating a ripple effect of transformation.

Dr Tim 1st hour A Course of Love Discussion – listen on YouTube https://youtu.be/ez0TZSv1TGw  or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/  

Summary: Dr. Tim Hayes hosted Mind Shifters Radio, where he continued exploring transformative teachings that encourage living in alignment with love and the energy of creation.

2nd hour prerecorded “Do We Have Free Will Part 1”

https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/do-we-have-free-will-discussion-with-dr-michael-ryce   or on YouTube https://youtu.be/l2UhE-oNAIM or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/

Summary: In this episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce discuss the complex topic of free will, inspired by a scientific article by Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, who argues that free will is an illusion and that human behavior is entirely shaped by external and internal forces. Dr. Ryce challenges this view, proposing that while societal and generational influences profoundly impact behavior, humans possess a spiritual faculty of choice that transcends these influences. He distinguishes between automatic, conditioned responses, which he refers to as “decisions,” and genuine choice, which arises from a conscious connection to one’s being.

Dr. Ryce explains that most people operate from carbon-based memory, a system of past influences stored in the body, which drives automatic reactions. He emphasizes that forgiveness, as understood in ancient Aramaic teachings, is the key to dismantling these influences. By canceling goals and clearing mental constructs, individuals can access the deeper layers of their unconscious mind, resolve generational patterns, and awaken to their true nature as beings of love.

The discussion also highlights the importance of self-responsibility in breaking free from the cultural and familial patterns that perpetuate cycles of fear, hostility, and blame. Dr. Ryce encourages listeners to view forgiveness as a process of clearing space in the mind, enabling them to reconnect with their innate capacity for choice. He underscores that true freedom comes from stepping beyond the reactive mind and living in alignment with one’s spiritual essence.

The episode concludes with an invitation to embrace the lifelong journey of healing and awakening, emphasizing that while the work is challenging, it is also profoundly rewarding. By choosing love and applying tools like the Reality Management Worksheet, individuals can transform their lives and contribute to a more compassionate and conscious world.

2nd hour prerecorded “Do We Have Free Will Part 2”

https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/do-we-have-free-will-part-2-discussion-with-dr-michael-ryce  or on YouTube https://youtu.be/MSsD763jExg or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/

Summary: In the second part of Do We Have Free Will?, Dr. Michael Ryce continues the discussion on the distinction between automatic decision-making and genuine choice. Drawing from the work of neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, Dr. Ryce explores the claim that free will does not exist, countering this view with insights into human consciousness and spiritual faculties. He asserts that while much of human behavior is influenced by generational patterns, environmental factors, and physiological responses, humans possess the unique capacity to originate choices through awareness and love.

Dr. Ryce emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between decisions—automatic responses driven by resonance and past programming—and choices, which involve conscious engagement with higher faculties. He critiques the widespread tendency to blame external circumstances or other people for internal emotional states, describing this as the “one-world religion of blame.” This denial of responsibility, he argues, prevents individuals from accessing the deeper roots of their behavior and healing their inner dynamics.

The episode also explores the mechanics of perception and the role of goals in shaping how the mind constructs reality. Dr. Ryce illustrates how canceling goals, a central step in Aramaic forgiveness, disrupts the corrupt data stored in carbon-based memory. This process allows individuals to access and dissolve the underlying energetic patterns that drive destructive behavior and emotional pain. By bringing love into the space created through forgiveness, people can transform these patterns and reclaim their true nature.

The session concludes with a reflection on humanity’s potential to live beyond conditioned responses, embracing the spiritual essence of love. Dr. Ryce highlights the power of tools like the Reality Management Worksheet and the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app to support this journey, encouraging listeners to step into their role as conscious creators of their lives.

2nd hour prerecorded “Do We Have Free Will Part 3” https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/do-we-have-free-will-part-3-discussion-with-dr-michael-ryce  or on YouTube https://youtu.be/if9SIesA_Vw or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/

Summary: In this episode of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce conclude their exploration of the concept of free will by emphasizing the distinction between automatic responses shaped by generational patterns and the conscious choice available through higher spiritual faculties. They engage with the argument by neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky that free will is an illusion, challenging this perspective by highlighting the innate human capacity to choose beyond conditioned behaviors and automatic processes.

Dr. Ryce explains that most human behavior is driven by carbon-based memory, which stores generational experiences and triggers automatic decisions based on past resonance. He introduces tools such as the Mind Goal Management Worksheet and the Reality Management Worksheet to help individuals identify and cancel the goals that perpetuate stress and reactive patterns. By canceling these goals, people can dismantle the perceptual constructs rooted in past traumas and create space for conscious choice.

The discussion explores spiritual faculties such as will, imagination, and intuition, which enable individuals to transcend reactive mindsets and access true perception. These faculties, when activated, allow people to align with love and their higher purpose, breaking free from predetermination. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that true freedom requires conscious effort to clean up generational influences and corrupt data stored in the mind. This process leads to a deeper understanding of oneself as an active presence of love and opens the door to co-creating new possibilities aligned with truth and healing.

The episode concludes with reflections on the importance of aligning with one’s purpose and using the tools of forgiveness and self-awareness to navigate life’s challenges. By embracing these practices, individuals can transform their experiences, heal from generational trauma, and contribute to a more conscious and loving world.

Dr Tim 1st hour A Course of Love, continues – listen on YouTube https://youtu.be/YBuf2KorW6Y  or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/  

Summary: Dr. Tim Hayes hosted Mind Shifters Radio, focusing on the profound spiritual and practical teachings surrounding love, perception, and emotional healing. The discussion centered on the transformative tools developed by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, such as the Reality Management Worksheet. Dr. Hayes highlighted the accessibility of these tools, available for free on the Ryce’s website and app, as a means to help individuals process negative emotions, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace a deeper connection with love and creation.

Susan Bingham, a regular caller, joined the show to discuss the challenges and emotions tied to her son’s healing journey and vision quest. Dr. Hayes offered guidance on navigating intense emotions by observing them without judgment, allowing the heart’s natural wisdom to lead the way. This approach, rooted in the teachings of spiritual leaders such as Michael Singer and the Ryces, encourages individuals to witness emotions as energy, freeing themselves from attachment and finding peace in the flow of life.

The show concluded with reflections on interconnectedness, the transformative power of spiritual tools, and the reminder that love is the essence of creation.

2nd hour prerecorded “Do We Have Free Will Part 4”

https://MindShiftersRadio.podbean.com/e/do-we-have-free-will-part-4-discussion-with-dr-michael-ryce  or on YouTube https://youtu.be/6hZyiIp5Fi4 or on our Podetize player at https://whyagain.org/mindshifters-radio-show-player-for-archives/

Summary: In the final installment of the Do We Have Free Will? series, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce explore the debate surrounding free will, engaging with the arguments presented by neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, who asserts that human behavior is entirely determined by external and internal factors, leaving no room for free will. Dr. Ryce counters this perspective by emphasizing the human capacity for conscious choice, which arises from engaging spiritual faculties and practicing forgiveness.

Dr. Ryce explains that most people operate on automatic behaviors driven by generational patterns and carbon-based memory. These patterns dictate reactions based on past experiences and inherited traumas. While Sapolsky sees these patterns as evidence of determinism, Dr. Ryce highlights that individuals can interrupt these cycles through awareness and tools like the Reality Management Worksheet. By canceling goals and addressing unresolved emotional content, people can access a deeper sense of agency and transform their experiences.

The discussion also addresses the societal implications of rejecting free will, particularly in justice systems and personal accountability. Dr. Ryce advocates for compassion and healing over blame and punishment, emphasizing that forgiveness can dissolve the energetic dynamics driving harmful behaviors. He connects this idea to ancient Aramaic teachings, where forgiveness is understood as removing internal obstacles rather than excusing external actions.

Dr. Ryce concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace the spiritual essence of love as their true nature, which grants the ability to consciously direct their lives. By practicing forgiveness and aligning with higher faculties like intuition and will, individuals can transcend reactive patterns and contribute to a more compassionate and conscious world.

The 1st hour, hosted by Tim Hayes, opened with gratitude to its audience for their continued engagement and highlighted the tools provided by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce on their platform, whyagain.org. These tools, including the Reality Management Worksheet, are aimed at transforming negative emotional experiences into opportunities for growth and self-awareness. Tim shared his personal success with these practices over two decades, emphasizing their power to enhance life quality and relationships.

The discussion delved into the interplay between love, judgment, and pain, suggesting that human suffering often stems from resistance to life’s natural flow. Drawing from various spiritual texts like A Course in Miracles, The Way of Mastery, and A Course of Love, the conversation encouraged listeners to embrace experiences, even painful ones, as manifestations of love’s broader energy. The hosts underscored the importance of shifting from intellectual reasoning to an awakened heart-centered approach, allowing for deeper, more authentic life engagement.

Listeners were guided on how to access these resources, including free downloads, apps, and support groups, and were encouraged to participate actively by sharing feedback or joining the live sessions on the Needle app. The show concluded with reflections on dismantling judgment and cultivating a life centered on questioning, openness, and love.

““““““““

The 2nd hour, the radio show centered on the themes of healing, forgiveness, and self-awareness, exploring the transformative power of recognizing and addressing internalized trauma and the “power person dynamic.” This dynamic, described as a psychological pattern rooted in early survival situations with influential figures (often parents), was highlighted as a pervasive force shaping behaviors, relationships, and perceptions. The discussion emphasized that unresolved dynamics from these experiences often manifest as recurring patterns of hostility, fear, or dis-ease, perpetuating cycles of blame and projection.

A significant portion of the program delved into the ancient Aramaic concept of forgiveness, which translates to “shabag” or “shabak,” meaning to cancel. This process was presented as a method to collapse false perceptions created by unconscious mental constructs, enabling individuals to access and heal deeply ingrained wounds. The hosts explained that forgiveness is not about condoning others’ actions but about removing internal distortions to reclaim one’s innate state of love and harmony.

The show also touched on the importance of support systems—whether through community, family, or even pets—in navigating “healing crises.” These crises, moments when repressed pain surfaces, were framed as opportunities for growth and liberation from generational and personal patterns of denial. The dialogue encouraged listeners to embrace discomfort as part of the journey toward integration, urging a commitment to love as the guiding principle through life’s challenges.

The 1st hour, in today’s episode of MindShifters Radio, Tim Hayes delves into transformative tools and concepts aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships. He introduces the Reality Management Worksheet, a practical tool created by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, which helps individuals navigate negative emotions and align with their true nature of love. Available for free via their website and mobile app, this tool emphasizes love as a noun—the creative energy inherent in all beings—and not merely an action or verb.

Tim also highlights the importance of the Ellenhorn model of mental health, which emphasizes community integration and holistic support rather than isolating individuals. This approach challenges traditional, often stigmatizing, medical models by fostering connections within families and communities.

Throughout the episode, Tim reflects on spiritual teachings like A Course in Love, emphasizing the distinction between love as energy and misconceptions about it as mere sentiment or action. He explores practices such as living from a place of awe, curiosity, and compassion, which not only benefit emotional and mental health but also deepen connections with others. The show concludes with a reminder of humanity’s shared nature, rooted in creative love, encouraging listeners to live in awareness of this truth.

Summary: In the second hour of MindShifters Radio, Dr. Michael Ryce explores the essence of human beings as active presences of love, emphasizing the transformative potential of forgiveness as a tool to release negative emotions and generational patterns. Dr. Ryce delves into the concept of sustained incoherence, a term coined by physicist David Bohm, which describes the mind’s inability to correct its own errors due to entrenched belief systems. He explains how goals shape perception, guiding individuals to interpret experiences in ways that align with pre-existing beliefs, often leading to emotional distress when expectations are unmet.

Central to this discussion is the ancient Aramaic understanding of forgiveness, defined as “canceling a goal.” Dr. Ryce illustrates how canceling expectations can dissolve the mental constructs rooted in hostility and fear, allowing individuals to connect with their innate essence of love. He provides practical steps for applying this principle, highlighting its effectiveness in transforming personal and generational patterns of pain and trauma.

The episode also discusses practical applications of these teachings for children. Dr. Ryce shares insights on nurturing love in young minds by teaching them to cancel goals and manage emotions. Tools like the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app and the Dragon Klingon Game are introduced as resources for families to engage in the forgiveness process together.

Dr. Ryce reflects on personal experiences, including challenges faced within his family, emphasizing the power of love and forgiveness to navigate difficult times. He invites listeners to embrace their true nature as beings of love, cultivate awareness of their thoughts, and utilize the breath as a grounding practice. The episode concludes with encouragement to spread these teachings and create a ripple effect of healing and connection.

A significant portion of the discussion focuses on using forgiveness to address both personal triggers and generational patterns. Dr. Ryce shares insights from a recent support group session involving a mother and her adopted daughter. The daughter’s behaviors, shaped by trauma, were causing distress, and Dr. Ryce highlighted the value of modeling responsibility rather than blame. He suggested that the mother invite her daughter into a collaborative healing process by acknowledging her own emotional struggles and asking for the daughter’s support in holding a loving space. This approach fosters mutual growth and provides a positive example for addressing emotional challenges constructively.

The episode also touches on broader issues, such as addressing unconscious dynamics in relationships and family systems. Dr. Ryce explains how unresolved trauma from one generation often resonates in the next, creating opportunities for healing through conscious action. He describes forgiveness as the process of collapsing perceptions rooted in pain, accessing unconscious content, and transforming it in the presence of love.

Personal stories shared by listeners illustrate the profound impact of forgiveness and compassion in various contexts, from parenting to supporting loved ones dealing with trauma or challenging life circumstances. Dr. Ryce and the hosts encourage listeners to use tools like the Reality Management Worksheet and to view life’s difficulties as opportunities for growth and healing.

1st hour with Dr Tim Hayes Summary: The radio show focuses on promoting personal growth and emotional well-being through tools like the Reality Management Worksheet, developed by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce. The host emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, radical honesty, and the transformation of negative emotions into guidance for living a more fulfilling life. Listeners are encouraged to explore the tools and resources available on the Ryces’ website, whyagain.org, including free downloads, audio tutorials, and a mobile app named Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness. The app contains worksheets and games designed to foster emotional and relational healing.

The episode also discusses the psychological impacts of intense emotional states and the tendency of the human mind to narrow its focus during such moments. It delves into the cultural biases that encourage people to act from fear and anger, suggesting that these reactions often block creativity and hinder personal growth. The host encourages adopting practices like radical honesty and nonjudgmental observation to transcend these limitations.

A key segment explores how self-awareness tools like the Reality Management Worksheet help individuals cancel destructive patterns and replace them with curiosity and openness. The program also reflects on societal issues, such as division and suffering, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and constructive emotional management in the face of global challenges.

2nd hour with dr. michael ryce Summary: Centered on the transformative practice of forgiveness and the exploration of personal and collective responsibility. Dr. Ryce discussed how societal and personal pain are often the results of unresolved inner conflicts and conditioned beliefs. He emphasized that forgiveness, in its ancient Aramaic sense, is not about pardoning others but about releasing one’s own mental and emotional patterns that no longer serve.

Dr. Ryce reflected on his book, Why Is This Happening to Me Again?, and detailed how unresolved energies within individuals resonate with external events, creating repetitive cycles of suffering. He highlighted the importance of identifying these internal patterns and using forgiveness to dissolve them. The program also critiqued societal systems, such as education and religious institutions, for perpetuating control and limiting awareness through what he termed “sophistry”—the deliberate distortion of truth to manipulate and control minds.

A major theme was the contrast between the “priesthood,” which uses teachings to liberate individuals, and the “priestcraft,” which leverages fear, division, and confusion for control. Dr. Ryce urged listeners to take responsibility for their emotions, emphasizing that reactions to external events are reflections of internal states. He encouraged using tools like deep breathing and the Reality Management Worksheet to uncover and heal the root causes of emotional distress.

The discussion also explored the physiological and energetic dimensions of forgiveness, explaining that unresolved emotional patterns manifest as stress in the body. Dr. Ryce advocated for breathwork as a key tool for releasing these stored energies, enabling individuals to reconnect with their essence, which he described as pure, active love.

This episode provided profound insights into reclaiming personal agency, cultivating inner peace, and addressing systemic challenges through conscious self-awareness and forgiveness.

1st hour Dr Tim Hayes summary: Delved into profound topics of self-awareness, emotional growth, and holistic mental health practices. Dr. Hayes highlighted tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet, made freely accessible by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce on their website, whyagain.org. These tools aim to guide individuals in transforming negative emotions into meaningful self-reflection, fostering growth in personal relationships and emotional resilience. The resources are supported by supplementary materials, including audio tutorials and a mobile app, Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness, featuring user-friendly versions of these practices.

Dr. Hayes emphasized the value of living in curiosity and questioning, drawing insights from spiritual and psychological works like Pema Chodron’s Start Where You Are and Guy Finley’s teachings. He explained how holding onto rigid beliefs reduces brain activity and limits learning, whereas embracing uncertainty enhances creativity and awareness. This approach aligns with the teachings of Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, which advocate a life grounded in questioning and openness to change.

The show also explored the significance of holistic mental health programs, with an in-depth discussion about Inner Fire in Vermont. This facility provides a supportive, medication-reducing environment for individuals navigating mental health challenges, focusing on skill-building, art therapy, and self-reliance. Dr. Hayes recommended resources like Brooke Siem’s book May Cause Side Effects, which chronicles the challenges of withdrawing from psychotropic medications, and the website madinamerica.com, which critiques over-reliance on such treatments.

Listeners were encouraged to engage in personal practices for managing emotions and fostering resilience, such as deep breathing, self-reflection, and using the mental steps of the Reality Management Worksheet. The overarching message was one of empowerment: individuals are the creators of their emotional experiences and can achieve greater peace and understanding through intentional, reflective practices.

2nd hour dr michael ryce (only 25 minutes, technical challenges with Nedl) summary: The second hour of MindShifters Radio hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce covers an in-depth discussion about the transformative nature of healing work and the challenges often encountered along the way. Dr. Ryce begins by sharing updates about the ongoing effort to archive and organize the show’s content on platforms like YouTube and their website, yagain.org. This includes converting older episodes from different formats and making them accessible through playlists categorized by year and topic. These efforts aim to provide an easier and more user-friendly way for listeners to revisit past content and explore its teachings.

Dr. Ryce transitions into a comprehensive explanation of healing as a process that goes beyond surface-level relief. He discusses common misconceptions, particularly the belief that healing should be entirely comfortable and devoid of challenges. He highlights the importance of confronting deep-seated emotional, mental, and physical patterns that contribute to pain or dysfunction. Drawing on first-century Aramaic teachings, he explains forgiveness not as an act of pardoning others but as a tool for removing harmful energies from one’s system.

Throughout the segment, Dr. Ryce underscores that symptoms—whether physical pain, emotional distress, or negative thoughts—are signals from the body about underlying issues that need attention. He critiques society’s reliance on quick fixes like medication, alcohol, and sugar, which he argues only mask symptoms rather than addressing their root causes. He challenges listeners to embrace the discomfort that comes with true healing, emphasizing the necessity of patience, self-responsibility, and a willingness to engage with difficult emotions.

The conversation also delves into the spiritual and scientific dimensions of healing. Using the concept of “sin” as an ancient Aramaic term meaning “off the mark,” Dr. Ryce reframes it as a metaphor for engaging with toxic energy. He highlights forgiveness and conscious breathing as vital tools for releasing these energies and achieving genuine well-being. His teachings encourage listeners to view healing not as an escape from discomfort but as a journey toward uncovering and removing blocks to love and health.

2nd hour dr michael ryce was a prerecorded “End of Suffering Part 1″summary: The episode of MindShifters Radio featuring Dr. Michael Ryce discusses the foundational concepts from his unfinished book The End of Suffering. Through a dialogue between Yeshua and a character seeking understanding, Dr. Ryce highlights the transformative nature of forgiveness and self-responsibility in overcoming suffering. Yeshua emphasizes that all suffering is self-inflicted and can only be transcended by doing the inner work of addressing the false self, which is constructed by generational pain, fear, and hostility.

The discussion focuses on Yeshua’s teachings as a guide to self-mastery and the liberation of humanity from fear-based perceptions. He stresses that forgiveness is not about pardoning others but about removing toxic energies from the mind. Yeshua critiques the historical and current misinterpretations of his teachings, particularly how fear and blame have been used to control and disempower individuals. He advocates for a direct relationship with the Creator, who is love, and the necessity of aligning with this love-based mind to overcome suffering and achieve a state of peace and presence.

Yeshua also critiques the reliance on belief systems and rituals without the corresponding inner work. He discusses the distortion of his teachings through Greek philosophical interpretations, which emphasized punitive, fear-based ideas about God. Instead, he calls for understanding his teachings through the lens of Aramaic idioms, which focus on the Creator’s unconditional love and the practical tools for living a life free of fear.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Ryce presents Yeshua’s mission as one of awakening humanity to the possibility of living from a place of love rather than fear. The dialogue explores the challenges of doing the deep inner work required to transform the self and dismantle generational patterns of suffering. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to take responsibility for their healing journey and use the tools provided in Yeshua’s teachings to align with the Creator’s mind of love.

1st hour Dr Tim used Podbean summary: The January 22, 2025, first hour of MindShifters Radio with Dr. Tim Hayes is a reflective exploration of tools and resources designed to improve emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Dr. Hayes begins by emphasizing the free accessibility of these tools on Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce’s website, whyagain.org. He highlights the “Reality Management Worksheet,” a powerful method for transforming negative emotional experiences into opportunities for growth and healing. The worksheet is accessible online, as a PDF, or through the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness app, and it incorporates principles of self-responsibility, forgiveness, and emotional self-awareness.

Dr. Hayes reflects on the significance of tools like the worksheet in helping individuals take control of their emotional experiences. By guiding users to recognize their internal thought processes and emotional patterns, the worksheet enables them to reinterpret life circumstances and shift negative energies into positive transformations. This practice is grounded in the belief that we create our own experiences through our responses and perceptions, a recurring theme across the tools and literature discussed on the show.

Additionally, Dr. Hayes introduces listeners to the podcast series The Telepathy Tapes, which explores the extraordinary abilities of nonverbal autistic individuals, such as mental telepathy and advanced cognitive skills. He advocates for assuming competence in nonverbal individuals and highlights the groundbreaking work being done to help them communicate through typing or pointing to letters. He also references a book titled The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith, which delves into the lived experiences of nonverbal individuals and their caregivers.

Throughout the show, Dr. Hayes weaves in teachings from spiritual texts, such as A Course in Miracles and the works of Thich Nhat Hanh, emphasizing mindfulness, presence, and the transformative power of inner peace. He reflects on the importance of recognizing and cultivating inner resources, such as love, joy, and awareness, as a foundation for personal and communal healing.

The session concludes with reflections on the interconnectedness of internal states and external realities. By fostering inner peace, love, and mindfulness, individuals can contribute positively to the world around them. Dr. Hayes encourages listeners to explore these tools and teachings as a pathway to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

2nd hour dr michael ryce was a prerecorded “End of Suffering Part 2” summary: The second part of The End of Suffering on MindShifters Radio with Dr. Michael Ryce continues to explore Yeshua’s teachings, focusing on the profound concept of forgiveness as a tool for ending suffering. Dr. Ryce highlights the distortions in religious dogma and misinterpretations of Yeshua’s words, emphasizing the need to understand his teachings in their original Aramaic context. Yeshua stresses that suffering is not a virtue nor a pathway to the Creator but a consequence of the “waxed gross” mind, which is a state of being disconnected from love and trapped in fear, hostility, and blame.

Through the dialogue, Yeshua explains that true forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook but removing the unresolved pain and inharmonious energies within one’s own unconscious mind. He critiques the common practice of focusing on external blame rather than addressing internal root causes of suffering. This “one-world religion of blame” perpetuates pain by substituting superficial forgiveness for the deep inner work of transforming the mind and heart.

Yeshua’s teachings center on staying connected to love, the Creator’s essence, in every circumstance. He underscores that his crucifixion was not a demonstration of suffering but an example of living as the active presence of love even in the most challenging situations. He rebukes interpretations of his life and death that glorify suffering or sacrifice, urging humanity to embrace the tools he provided for healing and self-transformation.

The episode also examines how cultural and linguistic misunderstandings have distorted Yeshua’s message over centuries. By understanding his words through the lens of Aramaic idioms and focusing on the practice of forgiveness as the removal of mental and emotional blockages, individuals can achieve liberation from suffering and align with the mind of love. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that Yeshua’s message was one of empowerment, urging humanity to reject victimhood and embrace their divine capacity to create peace and healing.

1st hour Dr Tim Hayes summary: delves into transformative tools and teachings aimed at improving emotional and spiritual well-being. Dr. Hayes emphasizes the accessibility of resources provided by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, particularly the Reality Management Worksheet available on whyagain.org. This tool, described as a wake-up process, has been pivotal in Dr. Hayes’s own life for over two decades, allowing him to transform negative emotions into opportunities for healing and self-awareness. The worksheet is accessible as a free download or through the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness app, which also includes other features like the Dragon and Klingon game to introduce younger audiences to these concepts.

Dr. Hayes also reflects on The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast exploring the extraordinary abilities of nonverbal autistic individuals, particularly their telepathic communication skills. He highlights the potential of these abilities to reshape how society views intelligence and communication in those with autism. Alongside this, he shares excerpts from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book Being Peace, focusing on the interconnectedness of understanding, love, and calmness in difficult situations. The teachings encourage cultivating awareness and presence as tools to foster peace within oneself and the broader community.

Thich Nhat Hanh’s analogy of a calm individual guiding a panicked group mirrors Dr. Hayes’s own upbringing, which emphasized the importance of staying centered and composed during crises. These lessons resonate deeply with the practices of mindfulness and meditation. Dr. Hayes connects these ideas with broader spiritual teachings, likening Thich Nhat Hanh’s concepts of the Buddha nature to the Christ mind—a state of compassion, understanding, and love inherent in all beings.

The show concludes with a call for listeners to explore the teachings, tools, and practices discussed, emphasizing the importance of calmness, love, and self-awareness in creating a harmonious life. Dr. Hayes reiterates the message that we are inherently made of love and that reconnecting with this truth is the key to overcoming challenges and living fully.

2nd hour dr. michael ryce summary: Delves deeply into the concepts of healing, energy alignment, and spiritual awakening. Dr. Ryce emphasizes the profound teachings of Yeshua and the connection between ancient Aramaic understanding and modern science, especially regarding energy and healing. He reiterates that Yeshua’s mission was not about theology or dogma but about bringing life and vitality, emphasizing the alignment of energy within the body as the key to healing.

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around a miraculous healing story of a man named Vittorio Micheli, who, in 1962, was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer but experienced complete healing after visiting the waters of Lourdes. Dr. Ryce uses this story to illustrate the connection between belief, energy, and physiological transformation. He highlights that our traditional understanding of matter as fixed is flawed, quoting Einstein’s assertion that matter is simply energy vibrating at a perceptible level. This perspective challenges conventional beliefs and opens the door to understanding healing as a process of aligning one’s energy with the Creator’s love-based field.

Dr. Ryce explains the therapeutic pulse, a 72-beats-per-minute rhythm that arises when the body’s energy aligns with its natural state, facilitating healing and the removal of destructive energies. He connects this concept to forgiveness, defining it as the removal of energies that are “off the mark” and restoring alignment. Through examples and personal experiences, Dr. Ryce illustrates how alignment with love-based energy can transform physical and emotional states, providing a pathway for healing.

The episode also includes a live conversation with a caller who shares her experience of depression and anxiety, resonating with a shelter dog experiencing similar emotions. Dr. Ryce guides her through understanding how unresolved generational and personal trauma can surface when one reaches new levels of vitality. He encourages her to use tools like forgiveness, breathing, and even fasting to process these energies. He highlights that the dog’s presence could serve as a reflection and catalyst for her own healing.

The session concludes with a discussion about the interconnectedness of all life, emphasizing the influence of one’s energy on others. Dr. Ryce encourages listeners to embrace the tools and teachings of love and alignment to foster personal and collective healing.

1st hour Dr Tim Hayes summary explored a range of transformative tools and teachings designed to improve emotional health and personal growth. The episode emphasized the importance of the Reality Management Worksheet, a tool developed by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, to help users transform negative emotional experiences into guidance for self-improvement. Dr. Hayes discussed how this tool and its associated app, available for free, encourage individuals to question limiting beliefs, release emotional baggage, and live with greater openness to new perspectives.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Hayes shared insights from his two decades of using these tools, drawing connections to teachings by spiritual leaders such as Michael Singer and Thich Nhat Hanh. He underscored how emotions are internally generated rather than caused by external events, illustrating this concept with relatable examples like sporting events and interpersonal conflicts. A key theme was the idea that surrendering the “need to be right” can foster deeper connections and a greater capacity for joy and growth.

Listeners were also invited to explore nonviolent communication strategies and meditation practices as methods for cultivating awareness and compassion. Dr. Hayes encouraged audience participation through calls, emails, and comments, emphasizing the synergy created when individuals share their experiences and questions. He highlighted the significance of community in applying these tools, referencing the weekly support groups and other resources available through the MindShifters Academy.

The episode concluded with reflections on the impermanence of emotions and the transformative power of living with curiosity and an open heart. Dr. Hayes reminded listeners that the journey toward emotional freedom requires both introspection and a willingness to embrace new possibilities.

2nd hour dr michael ryce was a prerecorded “End of Suffering Part 3” summary: The third part of The End of Suffering on MindShifters Radio hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce focuses on uncovering the misconceptions surrounding love, forgiveness, and spiritual teachings. Dr. Ryce explores Yeshua’s profound teachings about the essence of love, emphasizing that love is not a behavior or action but the natural state of being for humans. He contrasts this truth with the societal conditioning that misinterprets love as approval or a transactional act, which often leads to cycles of emotional pain, disappointment, and blame in relationships. Yeshua teaches that reclaiming the direct experience of oneself as love is the key to healing and freedom from suffering.

The dialogue delves into the misinterpretations of spiritual texts, particularly the Greek influence on Yeshua’s original Aramaic teachings. Dr. Ryce highlights how translations and dogmas have altered core principles, replacing actionable practices with rituals and fear-based doctrines. Yeshua explains that love is not something to be given or received but the essence of human existence, and forgiveness is not about pardoning others but about removing internal blocks to love.

Yeshua critiques the societal norm of blame, describing it as a universal distraction that prevents individuals from recognizing their internal responsibility for healing. He introduces forgiveness as a tool for removing the generational and personal pain stored in the unconscious mind, which he refers to as the “waxed gross” state. This condition, rooted in unresolved fear and hostility, blocks the mind from perceiving truth and perpetuates cycles of suffering.

The conversation also revisits Yeshua’s teaching about the “first law” of maintaining love in one’s mind for the Creator and for others. He emphasizes the importance of embodying love in every circumstance, as this aligns with the Creator’s essence and is the key to true healing and transformation. Yeshua underscores that his teachings were never about suffering or sacrifice but about demonstrating the power of living as the active presence of love.

The episode concludes with reflections on how societal and cultural misinterpretations have distorted Yeshua’s message, transforming it into a justification for fear, guilt, and control rather than liberation. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that applying Yeshua’s original teachings requires inner work, including forgiveness and releasing fear-based patterns, to return to a state of harmony with love.

Dr. Tim Hayes opened the first hour of MindShifters Radio by discussing tools for personal transformation made available through the efforts of Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, particularly focusing on the Reality Management Worksheet. This tool, free to download at whyagain.org, is designed to help users transform negative emotional experiences into guidance for personal growth and relationships. Dr. Hayes shared insights from Thich Nhat Hanh’s Being Peace, reflecting on how perception shapes reality and how mindfulness can lead to profound happiness. He emphasized the importance of perceiving correctly by being present and aware, which aligns with the Buddhist concept of nonduality. Dr. Hayes also explored the emotional benefits of embracing and understanding anger and fear rather than resisting or suppressing them.

Throughout the hour, Dr. Hayes integrated stories and philosophical concepts, such as the interconnectedness of perception and reality and the idea of dependent co-arising, where mutual care begins with individual self-care. He illustrated these points through anecdotes and teachings, emphasizing that the quality of one’s life is influenced by how one interprets and responds to life’s events. A recurring theme was the importance of questioning assumptions and perceiving the world through fresh, nonjudgmental eyes.

Dr. Hayes also addressed a caller’s concern about political differences straining a budding friendship. He encouraged focusing on the mutual respect and connection shared with the other person rather than allowing external disagreements to overshadow the relationship. The discussion reinforced that emotions like fear and anger can serve as valuable signals for inner work, advocating for self-compassion and awareness as tools for personal and interpersonal peace.

The second hour of MindShifters Radio featured Dr. Michael Ryce delving deeply into the nature of perception, forgiveness, and the dynamics of the human mind. Jeanie Ryce opened the session with updates on their personal lives, including their son’s recovery from major brain surgery, expressing gratitude for the love and support received. Dr. Michael Ryce then introduced the topic of “tyranny” within the mind, defining it as the distortions caused by hostility, fear, and unresolved internalized energies. He emphasized that perception is often not an accurate reflection of reality but a projection of unresolved content from the unconscious mind.

Dr. Ryce explored the concept of “power person dynamics,” rooted in childhood experiences where authority figures shaped emotional and behavioral patterns. He explained that when unresolved, these dynamics resonate throughout a person’s life, dictating responses to stress and relationships. He likened the mind to a projector that creates pictures based on stored internal data, often mistaken as external reality. A critical message was the power of forgiveness as a tool for collapsing false perceptions and accessing hidden pain, allowing for true healing. Forgiveness, as he defined it, involves the removal of distorted energies within the self, not excusing others but addressing the core causes of personal pain.

A recurring theme was the biochemical and energetic implications of thoughts. Dr. Ryce elaborated on how every thought creates a neuropeptide, which interacts with cells, potentially causing pain when those thoughts are toxic or “off the mark” (a concept he tied to the ancient Aramaic understanding of sin). By resolving these internal energies through forgiveness and awareness, individuals can transform their wounds into strengths, becoming spaces of healing and conscious creators in the world.

Dr. Ryce also addressed societal constructs, highlighting how cultural and generational patterns reinforce these internal tyrannies. He underscored that the path to liberation involves recognizing the illusions created by the mind, stepping out of denial, and taking full responsibility for one’s experiences. He concluded by inviting listeners to embrace love over resistance and actively engage in the practice of conscious creation to contribute to personal and collective healing.

The first hour of the Mind Shifters Radio show, hosted by Dr. Tim Hayes, aired on January 28, 2025, and focused on personal transformation, healing, and the power of self-awareness through mindfulness. The show began with Dr. Hayes introducing Michael and Jeanie Ryce’s work, specifically their Reality Management Worksheet and other resources available at WhyAgain.org. He emphasized how these tools, available for free, can help individuals process negative emotions and improve relationships. Additionally, listeners were encouraged to download the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app, which contains structured tools to facilitate emotional healing and self-improvement.

A significant portion of the show revolved around an interview with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, a specialist in mental health recovery. The discussion explored how people who have experienced early life trauma often struggle to accept kindness and connection. Dr. Hayes and Susan Bingham, a frequent caller, discussed how individuals who have suffered repeated emotional injuries may associate love and affection with pain or betrayal, leading them to reject supportive relationships. Dr. Hayes elaborated on how trauma survivors may develop defensive behaviors to protect themselves from further hurt, even if it means avoiding positive relationships altogether. The conversation also highlighted Ellenhorn’s approach, which involves reintegrating individuals into social and professional environments rather than isolating them in traditional mental health treatment settings.

Another notable discussion involved a personal testimonial from Susan Bingham, who shared a profound story about spiritual influence across generations. She recounted how her son, Jonathan, had been exposed to Hindu teachings from a young age and, despite years of struggle, recently found peace and purpose through sailing and meditation. Remarkably, he chose to meditate on Holy Mother Ramakrishna’s consort, a spiritual figure that had been a source of comfort for Susan during her pregnancy. This revelation reinforced the show’s recurring theme: early life experiences shape our emotional and spiritual well-being in ways we may not fully realize until much later in life.

The latter part of the show delved into Thich Nhat Hanh’s book, “Being Peace”, where Dr. Hayes explored themes of perception, mindfulness, and interconnectedness. He emphasized how rigid beliefs can block new insights, using the Buddhist parable of the father who mistook his son for dead as an example of how clinging to past experiences can prevent people from recognizing the truth. Dr. Hayes encouraged listeners to cultivate open-mindedness and curiosity, stressing that perception free of emotion and illusion leads to greater clarity and peace. He also discussed the interconnectedness of all things, using Thich Nhat Hanh’s metaphor of a sheet of paper containing the entire universe—since its existence depends on sunlight, water, trees, and human labor.

In closing, Dr. Hayes reminded listeners that self-growth is a collective effort—by healing ourselves, we contribute to the healing of society at large. He invited everyone to continue exploring these teachings through the Mind Shifters Radio archives and to participate in the free Tuesday and Thursday support groups offered via Zoom. The show ended with the affirmation that we come from love, we are made of love, and everything else is false.

The second hour of Mind Shifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce on January 28, 2025, continued the discussion on self-awareness, healing, and personal transformation. Jeanie Shaw-Ryce opened the show, ensuring listeners were familiar with the Needle app, which allows for interaction during the broadcast. She welcomed questions and comments, then handed over the conversation to Dr. Ryce, who emphasized the importance of regaining continuity in their discussions after recent disruptions. He provided updates on their son Ryan’s recovery from surgery, noting his progress despite lingering dizziness.

Dr. Ryce focused much of the hour on the impact of generational trauma and how unresolved patterns are stored in the mind. He explained that the mind is a pattern recognition device, originally meant for survival, but many people now live within these patterns, mistaking them for reality. He described how hostility and fear are passed down through generations, shaping perceptions and influencing behavior. The conversation highlighted how individuals tend to believe the constructs of their mind’s past experiences, rather than engaging with the present moment. True healing, he argued, requires recognizing and releasing these stored patterns through conscious self-awareness and forgiveness.

A key segment of the show revolved around the Reality Management Forgiveness Worksheet, which Dr. Ryce described as a ritual to break the addiction to trauma-based thinking. He compared the difficulty of overcoming these ingrained thought patterns to the struggles of an alcoholic breaking free from addiction. He encouraged listeners to identify when hostility or fear arises, recognizing that such emotions indicate false perceptions rather than truth. He reiterated that forgiveness is not about pardoning others but dissolving internal emotional attachments to past experiences, ultimately freeing oneself from the cycle of suffering.

During the show, Susan Bingham called in to discuss her grandson’s struggles with addiction, blame, and financial dependence. She shared a text he sent, admitting that being sober is too difficult for his senses, leading him to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol. Dr. Ryce acknowledged this as an important step toward self-awareness, but cautioned against enabling his behavior. He suggested that any financial support should be conditional on active steps toward recovery, such as attending Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. He pointed out that addiction is not just to substances, but also to hostility and self-victimization, and breaking free requires deep personal work.

The discussion expanded to cultural patterns of blame and projection, with Dr. Ryce emphasizing that many people live in a state of perpetual victimhood, blaming external factors for their suffering rather than taking responsibility for their own emotions. He argued that real freedom comes from dissolving these mental constructs through self-awareness and releasing the belief that others are responsible for one’s pain. The conversation also touched on how spirituality and meditation can help individuals reconnect with their true essence as beings of love.

As the hour concluded, Dr. Ryce led a guided meditation, inviting listeners to breathe deeply, release hostility and fear, and reconnect with the presence of love within. He emphasized that true healing is an ongoing process, requiring patience and commitment. He encouraged everyone to continue practicing self-awareness and forgiveness, reminding them that understanding and compassion ultimately replace the need for judgment and blame.

The first hour of Mind Shifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Tim Hayes on January 29, 2025, focused on self-improvement through mindfulness, forgiveness, and emotional healing. Dr. Hayes opened the show by expressing gratitude to listeners and emphasizing the accessibility of powerful tools developed by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, which are available for free at WhyAgain.org. He introduced the Reality Management Worksheet, a tool he has personally used for over twenty years to transform negative emotional experiences into valuable guidance. He encouraged listeners to download the worksheet and other resources, including the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness App, which offers structured guidance on self-healing.

Throughout the broadcast, Dr. Hayes reiterated the importance of engaging with these tools regularly, both for personal growth and to foster meaningful discussions within the Mind Shifters community. He highlighted how listeners can interact through the Needle app, participate in support groups, and access educational materials on MindShiftersAcademy.org. His goal is to help people recognize how their thought patterns shape reality, and he encouraged everyone to actively use these techniques to achieve emotional clarity and self-awareness.

A key part of the discussion centered around Thich Nhat Hanh’s book, “Being Peace,” which explores the interconnectedness of all things. Dr. Hayes explained how, in Buddhist philosophy, nothing exists in isolation—everything is part of a greater whole. He used the example of a sheet of paper, which is composed of elements like sunlight, trees, soil, and human labor, illustrating how all things are inherently linked. This perspective aligns with teachings from A Course in Miracles and The Way of Mastery, both of which stress the importance of seeing beyond the illusions created by the mind.

Listener Julia called in to share her appreciation for these discussions and expressed gratitude for Susan Bingham’s recent story about her son’s journey toward emotional and spiritual healing. She reflected on how his newfound sense of peace and joy while sailing was inspiring and a testament to how transformative inner work can be. Julia also acknowledged how Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on interconnectedness resonated with her, as they mirror universal spiritual truths found across different philosophies.

The conversation touched on the timing challenges of live support groups, especially for those in different time zones. Dr. Hayes recognized the difficulty but reminded listeners that archived sessions are available, allowing people to benefit from the material at their own pace. He also discussed the illusion of time, noting how the Internet has effectively removed time constraints, making it easier for individuals to access timeless wisdom whenever needed.

Dr. Hayes closed the hour by reiterating the importance of self-inquiry, emotional processing, and active forgiveness. He encouraged listeners to continue exploring the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and reality and reminded them that healing is an ongoing process. He invited further engagement through calls, emails, and participation in Mind Shifters support groups, reinforcing the show’s mission to provide practical tools for transformation and self-discovery.

The second hour of Mind Shifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce on January 29, 2025, explored deep concepts related to forgiveness, perception, and the nature of the mind. Dr. Ryce began by addressing the mechanics of carbon-based memory, explaining how the mind often operates based on past experiences rather than present reality. He contrasted the false self, shaped by unresolved trauma and conditioned responses, with the true self, which remains untouched by these distortions. He emphasized that forgiveness is not about excusing others but about dissolving the emotional attachments to past pain, thereby freeing oneself from a self-imposed cycle of suffering.

A major focus of the discussion was Lesson 121 from A Course in Miracles, titled “Forgiveness is the Key to Happiness.” Dr. Ryce explained that an unforgiving mind is dominated by fear, projection, and distorted perception, leading to an endless cycle of blame and suffering. He clarified that perception is not reality but rather a mental construct shaped by stored experiences. Because of this, many people continue to see the world through the lens of past wounds, mistaking their own projections for objective truth. He illustrated this concept with an example of how fear can create false perceptions, recounting a story of someone mistaking a towel for a rat in the dark. This, he explained, is how the unforgiving mind manufactures suffering out of illusions.

Dr. Ryce delved into the principles of true forgiveness, which he distinguished from the conventional idea of pardoning others. He emphasized that forgiveness in the Aramaic sense is about canceling false perceptions rather than excusing actions. He explained how the brain constructs its reality from unresolved power person dynamics, meaning that individuals often replicate the very behaviors they once despised in others. When someone triggers unresolved pain, the mind projects that pain outward, reinforcing old thought patterns. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to break this cycle by using forgiveness worksheets and other self-awareness tools to dissolve internalized patterns of hostility and fear.

During the show, Dr. Ryce guided listeners through a mental exercise to shift perception. He invited them to visualize someone they disliked, then consciously seek a spark of goodness or light in that person. By expanding this light, he explained, they could begin to transform their perception of both their so-called enemy and themselves. He then extended this practice to friendships, encouraging listeners to recognize that both enemies and friends exist within the same framework of personal projection. Through this exercise, he demonstrated how true forgiveness collapses the false reality created by pain and conditioning, revealing a deeper sense of connection and unity.

The show concluded with an affirmation that forgiveness is the path to happiness and freedom. Dr. Ryce reminded listeners that the only thing that truly needs healing is one’s own perception, as the true self remains untouched by trauma. He encouraged ongoing self-inquiry and engagement with the forgiveness process, emphasizing that each act of forgiveness not only heals the individual but also creates a ripple effect of love and understanding in the world.

The MindShifters Radio show, hosted by Dr. Tim Hayes, delves into self-awareness, emotional healing, and transformation using powerful tools for personal growth. Dr. Hayes opens by acknowledging the free resources available at WHYagain.org, created by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce. These resources include the Reality Management Worksheet, a structured method designed to help individuals process emotions, resolve conflicts, and create more conscious, fulfilling relationships. He encourages listeners to download the worksheet and related materials, including an app called Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness, which provides additional tools for self-reflection and healing.

Throughout the hour, Dr. Hayes emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and unconscious mental patterns. He references research indicating that most individuals are conscious of only about 5% of their thoughts, with the remaining 95% operating unconsciously. He relates this to experiences where people set goals yet fail to follow through due to unrecognized internal conflicts. By increasing self-awareness, individuals can uncover hidden thought patterns that influence their behaviors. He introduces additional tools such as the Mind Shifter targeted journaling tool, the Responsibility Communication Worksheet, and the Three Early Memories of Conflict worksheet to help individuals gain insights into their subconscious and make intentional changes in their lives.

Dr. Hayes shares the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, particularly his insights on mindfulness, peace, and interconnectedness. He recounts a story of a woman who engaged in daily Buddhist chanting but remained angry and reactive, underscoring the importance of quality over quantity in spiritual practice. He also reads Thich Nhat Hanh’s poem “Please Call Me by My True Names,” which explores the duality of human nature—how a single person can embody both victim and perpetrator, joy and suffering. Dr. Hayes encourages listeners to embrace compassion and self-awareness rather than falling into judgment, illustrating that true transformation occurs when we recognize our shared humanity.

Another key theme in the episode is the importance of conscious living and environmental awareness. Drawing from Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings, Dr. Hayes discusses how individuals can impact the world through their consumption habits, such as choosing plant-based diets or reducing waste. He introduces the Buddhist practice of Tonglen, which involves breathing in suffering and breathing out compassion, as a meditative method for fostering healing and peace within oneself and the world.

The show closes with an invitation to the MindShifters Academy support group, where participants can deepen their engagement with these tools. Dr. Hayes reminds listeners of their true nature as love and encourages them to apply these insights actively. His discussion offers a blend of spiritual wisdom, psychological insight, and practical tools for personal and collective transformation.

The second hour of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, focuses on the profound concept of truth, perception, and forgiveness. The show begins with a technical hiccup, as callers initially struggled to connect, but once the issue is resolved, the discussion flows into deep reflections on spiritual and psychological transformation. Dr. Ryce engages with callers like Susan Bingham and Joe Bryson, who share personal insights and challenges, particularly in relation to overcoming fear, judgment, and societal struggles. Susan discusses her experience assisting refugee families, emphasizing how non-judgment and emotional regulation help in providing effective support. She quotes Eckhart Tolle, highlighting the power of acceptance and presence in alleviating suffering. Her story underscores how mindfulness and active compassion can transform even the most chaotic circumstances into opportunities for healing.

Dr. Ryce expands on the theme of truth, stating that most people live in a world shaped by false perceptions rather than reality. He references a physician who writes about the fundamental importance of truth in medicine, drawing parallels to how deception and misinformation contribute to suffering in both health and personal consciousness. According to Dr. Ryce, true healing—whether psychological, emotional, or physical—requires acknowledging and confronting one’s internal distortions. He explains that our perceptions are largely projections, meaning that our minds construct images based on past experiences rather than actual present-moment reality. This concept aligns with teachings from A Course in Miracles, which asserts that forgiveness is not about pardoning others but about dissolving false mental constructs.

A key portion of the discussion revolves around the power of forgiveness as an internal process. In Aramaic, the term forgive translates to shebag or Shabak, meaning to cancel. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that forgiveness is not about excusing others but about releasing the goals and expectations that drive one’s perception of pain and conflict. He explains that holding onto grievances sustains the illusion of suffering, and that true liberation comes from collapsing these illusions through conscious awareness. By canceling the internal demands we place on others and ourselves, we free our minds from repetitive pain cycles and inherited generational trauma.

Dr. Ryce further explores the physiological and energetic aspects of perception, explaining how unforgiven thoughts manifest as stress and physical pain. He introduces the idea that the breath is a fundamental tool for releasing stored trauma, referencing the Aramaic concept of Ruka d’Kudsha (Holy Spirit), which represents a feminine elemental force that undoes the effects of errors and restores truth. By consciously breathing and allowing this force to work through us, we invite healing at a cellular and energetic level, similar to how modern science acknowledges the role of deep breathing in regulating the nervous system.

As the show concludes, Dr. Ryce reminds listeners that self-awareness, forgiveness, and conscious breathwork are the keys to breaking free from conditioned suffering. He encourages participants to recognize the futility of blame and projection, urging them to embrace personal responsibility for their inner states. The session ends with a reaffirmation that love—not control or intellectual analysis—is the most powerful force for transformation.

The radio show Mind Shifters Radio hosted by Dr. Tim Hayes on January 31, 2025, focused on personal transformation and emotional healing using tools like the Reality Management Worksheet. Dr. Hayes emphasized the accessibility of these tools, made available through Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce’s work at WhyAgain.org. He discussed how the Reality Management Worksheet can help individuals process negative emotions, improve relationships, and align with a more peaceful, conscious approach to life. He also mentioned the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app, which provides a digital version of the worksheet along with additional tools to support emotional well-being.

A significant portion of the show centered around readings from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book Being Peace. Dr. Hayes explored themes of reconciliation, non-duality, and emotional awareness.

The second hour of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce on January 31, 2025, focused on the transition from BlogTalkRadio to new platforms, including YouTube and Podbean. They explained how listeners could access past shows, find new content, and navigate the Needle app to interact live. Jeanie detailed the process of migrating over a decade of archives, emphasizing their commitment to keeping the show accessible despite technical challenges.

Dr. Michael Ryce then shifted the discussion to the concepts of genes, epigenetics, and the role of the unconscious mind in shaping human behavior. He referenced Carl Jung’s principle that unconscious patterns direct our lives until we become aware of them. Dr. Ryce emphasized that generational trauma and conditioned responses can be rewritten through conscious effort, particularly through the practice of forgiveness as it was originally taught in Aramaic. He argued that what we experience internally when triggered by external events is a result of our stored emotional content rather than the external trigger itself.

A central metaphor in the discussion involved a cup of tea being spilled—explaining that the contents of the cup (representing internal emotional states) are what spill out when bumped (triggered by life events). He illustrated how individuals often project their unresolved emotional pain onto external situations and other people, reinforcing cycles of blame and suffering. Instead of engaging in projection, he encouraged listeners to practice personal responsibility and deep self-awareness, using tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet to dismantle destructive patterns.

The conversation also touched on how unresolved generational patterns dictate behaviors, particularly through power person dynamics—where stress triggers unconscious behaviors modeled by influential figures from childhood. Dr. Ryce explained that when under stress, people either conform to, resist, or replicate these power dynamics, often unconsciously. He described forgiveness as the key to breaking free from these inherited cycles, allowing individuals to remove destructive emotional energy rather than continuing to project it outward.

Throughout the episode, callers engaged with the hosts, discussing technological issues with the Needle app and sharing their excitement about the new platform’s potential. Some callers reflected on past experiences with BlogTalkRadio and asked about ways to stay connected and engaged with the show. The episode concluded with an encouragement for listeners to explore the tools provided on WhyAgain.org and continue their journey of personal transformation.
