June 1, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes continues guiding listeners through A Course in Miracles as a practical path for undoing fear-based perception rather than a belief system to be adopted intellectually. He emphasizes that ACIM is fundamentally about recognizing how the ego mind manufactures separation, judgment, and suffering, and how willingness to question those interpretations opens the way for healing. Tim clarifies that the Course does not ask people to deny pain or bypass emotions, but instead to notice how the mind assigns meaning to events and then mistakes those meanings for reality.
Throughout the show, Tim explores the idea that true forgiveness in ACIM is not about excusing behavior or condoning harm, but about releasing the inner story that something outside oneself has the power to steal peace. He points out that conflict persists only as long as the mind insists on being right, and that healing begins when one becomes curious about the cost of that insistence. The discussion highlights how projection works subtly, often disguising itself as moral certainty, and how ACIM invites radical self-honesty about the source of distress. Tim also addresses common resistance to the Course, especially the fear that letting go of judgment means becoming passive or unsafe. He reassures listeners that clarity and appropriate action arise more naturally when perception is cleansed of fear. By practicing presence, willingness, and gentle observation of thoughts, individuals can experience moments of relief that reveal a deeper intelligence at work than the ego’s constant commentary. The hour closes with encouragement to use ACIM as a lived experiment, allowing insight to arise through practice rather than debate. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/GZBcHqQNbTU June 1, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? Dr. Michael Ryce deepens the conversation by focusing on the core premise that emotional pain is not caused by external events but by unresolved content within the mind. He reiterates that the mind’s tendency to blame circumstances or people is a learned survival strategy rooted in fear, not truth. Michael explains that the body faithfully reflects the energetic state of the mind, making unprocessed anger, grief, guilt, or fear visible through emotional distress and physical symptoms. Michael walks listeners through the purpose of the Reality Management Worksheet as a tool for uncovering the hidden beliefs and energetic patterns that drive perception. He emphasizes that forgiveness, as taught in this work, is not about pardoning others but about removing the internal obstruction that prevents Love from flowing freely. The discussion highlights how unconscious hostility distorts perception and how accountability for one’s inner state restores clarity and peace. Throughout the hour, Michael stresses that healing is a process of removal rather than acquisition. Nothing new must be added to become whole; instead, what blocks awareness of Love must be dismantled. He encourages consistent practice, reminding listeners that intellectual understanding alone cannot substitute for lived experience. The hour closes with an invitation to use daily emotional upset as guidance pointing toward unresolved inner work rather than as justification for blame.

Happy Eternal Day Jeanie!
June 2, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes continues the ACIM exploration by examining how the ego maintains its identity through comparison, judgment, and specialness. He explains that the ego thrives on distinctions that separate people into categories of right and wrong, good and bad, victim and perpetrator. Tim invites listeners to observe how quickly the mind assigns meaning and how rarely those meanings are questioned. The discussion centers on the Course’s teaching that peace is not found by changing circumstances but by changing the interpreter. Tim clarifies that resistance to this idea often arises because the ego equates surrender with loss. In truth, what is relinquished is the constant tension required to defend a false self-image. He offers practical reflections on how willingness, even without full understanding, can interrupt habitual patterns of fear-based thinking. Tim also addresses the fear that spiritual teachings invalidate personal pain. He emphasizes that ACIM does not deny experience but reframes it, allowing pain to become a doorway to insight rather than a sentence of suffering. By gently questioning the thoughts attached to emotional reactions, listeners can experience moments of spaciousness that reveal a deeper sense of safety and connection. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/AQcObsP_SCw June 2, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? Dr. Michael Ryce expands on the mechanics of projection and denial, explaining how the mind externalizes internal conflict to avoid responsibility for unresolved pain. He describes how survival-based thinking trains individuals to see themselves as victims of circumstance, reinforcing patterns of helplessness and resentment. Michael challenges listeners to notice how often emotional reactions are justified rather than investigated. The conversation emphasizes that forgiveness is a physiological and energetic process that restores the natural state of Love. Michael explains that when forgiveness is withheld, the body remains locked in stress chemistry, leading to both emotional and physical deterioration. He reinforces that true healing requires willingness to face one’s own internal landscape without judgment or self-condemnation. Michael also discusses the cultural reinforcement of blame and punishment, noting how these systems normalize suffering rather than resolve it. He encourages listeners to practice forgiveness as a daily discipline, not as a moral ideal but as a practical necessity for health and clarity. The hour concludes with reminders that healing is incremental and compassionate, and that each moment of awareness weakens the grip of fear-based perception. Two sessions for Intensive participants will be Sunday June 6 and 13. The first being a continuation from the session from Chuck and Magda Respons-Ability Communication YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/b8WPf3wslcE |

June 3, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes continues the ACIM exploration by focusing on the mind’s deep resistance to relinquishing judgment. He explains that judgment feels protective to the ego because it creates a sense of certainty and control, even though it consistently generates anxiety and conflict. Tim invites listeners to observe how quickly the mind labels experiences as good or bad and how rarely those labels bring lasting peace. He emphasizes that ACIM is not about moral improvement but about undoing the internal voice that interprets through fear.
The discussion highlights how the ego confuses identity with opinion, making disagreement feel like an existential threat. Tim gently reframes this by reminding listeners that peace is not something earned through correctness but something uncovered when the need to be right dissolves. He speaks to the discomfort that arises when familiar mental defenses loosen and reassures listeners that this discomfort signals progress rather than failure. Tim also addresses the practical application of ACIM principles in daily life, especially during emotional triggers. He encourages willingness over mastery and stresses that even brief moments of awareness interrupt entrenched patterns of fear. The hour closes with an emphasis on kindness toward oneself as the mind learns a new way of seeing. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/K_iZZje-vrI June 3, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? Dr. Michael Ryce uses the second hour to deepen the understanding of how unresolved emotional energy shapes perception and behavior. He explains that most people unknowingly live from carbon-based memory, replaying emotional patterns learned in early life without conscious choice. Michael emphasizes that emotional pain is not evidence of failure but a signal pointing toward material ready to be healed. He revisits the function of the Reality Management Worksheet, clarifying that its purpose is to expose hidden beliefs and emotional drivers rather than to fix external situations. Michael underscores that forgiveness is the removal of internal interference, not an act of generosity toward others. By releasing stored hostility and fear, individuals naturally experience clearer perception and greater emotional stability. The conversation also addresses the cultural conditioning that teaches people to suppress or rationalize pain instead of processing it. Michael encourages listeners to stay present with discomfort long enough for insight to arise, noting that avoidance only strengthens unconscious patterns. The hour concludes with reassurance that healing unfolds through consistent practice and gentle persistence rather than force.

June 4, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes explores the ACIM idea that fear is always a misunderstanding rather than a justified response to reality. He explains that the ego interprets uncertainty as danger, prompting defensive thinking and emotional contraction. Tim invites listeners to question the assumption that fear contains useful information, suggesting instead that it obscures clarity and wisdom.
He discusses how the mind’s attachment to control prevents true peace and how surrender, as described in ACIM, is not passivity but a release of false responsibility. Tim emphasizes that the Course does not ask people to deny their feelings but to reinterpret them through a lens of compassion and curiosity. He encourages noticing fear-based thoughts without attempting to correct them immediately. The hour focuses on cultivating trust through small moments of awareness, allowing the nervous system to settle as the mind learns that safety does not depend on constant vigilance. Tim reassures listeners that progress is not measured by the absence of fear but by the willingness to observe it without judgment. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/R8p4B5dYUr8 June 4, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? Dr. Michael Ryce continues the theme of responsibility by addressing how emotional reactions are often mistaken for justified responses to external events. He explains that the mind’s reflex to assign blame prevents healing by reinforcing the illusion that peace depends on others changing. Michael emphasizes that reclaiming responsibility for one’s internal state restores personal power rather than diminishing it. He discusses how unhealed emotional energy can distort memory, perception, and decision-making, leading to repeated relational and life challenges. Michael encourages listeners to use emotional upset as feedback rather than as evidence of wrongdoing. He reiterates that forgiveness is a biological process that frees the body from stress chemistry and restores coherence. The hour concludes with reflections on patience and self-compassion, reminding listeners that deep healing unfolds over time. Michael reassures the audience that every moment of awareness weakens unconscious patterns and brings the mind closer to its natural state of Love. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/2ZSUa4bs8Tg |

June 7, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes continues the exploration of A Course in Miracles with a focus on identity, perception, and the illusion of separation. He emphasizes that the core tool of the MindShifters work, the Reality Management Worksheet, is designed to transform negative emotional experiences into guidance by revealing the internal perceptual errors that generate suffering. Drawing from ACIM Lesson 158, Tim explains that true giving is inseparable from receiving, and that seeing the light or true nature in another simultaneously heals one’s own perception.
The discussion reframes sin not as moral failure but as faulty perception, highlighting that suffering arises from rejecting what is, rather than from pain itself. Tim weaves in insights from Pam Grout, John O’Donohue, Adyashanti, and Michael Singer to illustrate that the sense of being a separate, static self is a cultural illusion. Instead, human beings are described as dynamic expressions of a unified field of life, temporarily appearing as individual forms. Blame, judgment, and projection are shown to reinforce suffering by obscuring this underlying unity. Throughout the hour, Tim invites listeners to practice seeing themselves and others beyond the body and beyond past mistakes, recognizing each interaction as an opportunity to extend true sight. He reinforces that healing occurs not by changing external circumstances but by collapsing false perceptual constructs and allowing a deeper awareness of shared being to emerge. The hour closes with an open invitation for callers to explore how these ideas apply to their own emotional triggers, relationships, and internal work. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/OjZSg6V-log June 7, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? Dr. Michael Ryce deepens the conversation by examining forgiveness, perception, and responsibility through the lens of both A Course in Miracles and Aramaic teachings. He explains that perception itself is a learned skill developed to replace direct awareness of creation, and that most conflict arises from perceptual constructs rooted in hostility and fear. Michael shares personal insights from recent work showing that when fear-based perception collapses, even long-standing “hot-button” topics can be discussed without emotional charge. He reframes the concept of sin as an Aramaic archery term meaning “off the mark,” emphasizing that it is an indicator rather than a condemnation. From this perspective, emotions such as fear, rage, grief, and hostility are understood as disintegrative energies that damage the human energy system when held or projected. Forgiveness is presented not as pardon but as a physiological and energetic process that dissolves these energies and restores alignment with love. Michael highlights the theme of creatorship, noting that people unconsciously recreate suffering by carrying unresolved perceptual patterns into new situations, relationships, or locations. True change occurs only when internal constructs are dismantled, not when external circumstances shift. Drawing on quantum physics and Max Planck’s insights, he reinforces that human beings are energy systems rather than bodies, and that the quality of one’s internal energy directly shapes health, relationships, and experience. The hour encourages listeners to consciously engage forgiveness as a practical tool for waking from unconscious creation and living from responsibility, coherence, and love.

June 8, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes continues guiding listeners through A Course in Miracles by focusing on the mind’s habit of assigning meaning to fear, conflict, and perceived threat. He explains that the Course does not ask us to deny fear, but to question its authority and withdraw belief from it. Fear is presented as a learned response rather than a truth, and peace is described as the natural condition that emerges when interpretation is relinquished.
Throughout the hour, Dr. Hayes emphasizes the importance of gentle willingness instead of spiritual effort. He notes that many people turn spiritual practice into another performance standard, which reinforces guilt and self-attack. The lesson invites listeners to notice how often they demand certainty and control, and to experiment with allowing uncertainty without judgment. Peace is reframed as a choice that can be touched moment by moment when the mind stops insisting it knows what everything means. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/ga7PurMIWeA June 8, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me… Again? Dr. Michael Ryce builds on the theme of perception by examining how emotional pain is generated internally and misattributed externally. He explains that the mind is trained to believe that others cause our suffering, while the body reveals that pain arises from unresolved internal content. Forgiveness is described as the process of removing the internal drivers of perception rather than pardoning external behavior. Listener interaction highlights how expectations, especially unconscious ones, create disappointment and resentment in relationships. Dr. Ryce explains that these expectations are rooted in early emotional conditioning and stored energetic patterns that surface automatically. By applying forgiveness, individuals can dismantle those patterns and restore clarity and compassion. The hour reinforces that healing does not require changing circumstances, only changing the internal process that interprets them. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/XTvzTor3V9o |

June 9, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes This hour focuses on Workbook themes addressing the mind’s attachment to fear as a means of identity and control. Dr. Tim Hayes explores how the ego uses anticipation of future problems or regret about the past to keep attention away from the present moment. He emphasizes that peace is not achieved by solving imagined problems but by questioning the belief that those problems are real or meaningful. The Course’s teaching is framed as an invitation to practice presence rather than a demand for spiritual performance.
A caller shares struggles with anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed by responsibilities. Dr. Hayes gently redirects the focus from managing outcomes to observing thoughts without judgment. He explains that the mind’s resistance to stillness often signals that old belief systems are being challenged. The hour reinforces that awakening is a process of undoing false ideas rather than acquiring new ones, and that kindness toward oneself is essential when fear-based thinking resurfaces. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/mbE2xm53osM June 9, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me… Again? Dr. Michael Ryce continues unpacking the mechanics of projection, explaining that the mind experiences its own internal content as if it were happening externally. He clarifies that emotional pain is not caused by people or events but by unhealed internal energies brought forward by those circumstances. Forgiveness is presented as the tool for removing the internal causes rather than suppressing emotional responses or attempting to change others. Discussion centers on how the body stores unresolved emotional patterns and how stress reactions are signals pointing to unfinished internal work. Dr. Ryce emphasizes that true forgiveness is a physiological process that restores coherence to the nervous system. Listener dialogue illustrates how applying the forgiveness worksheet reveals hidden beliefs and reduces chronic emotional reactivity. The hour closes with encouragement to stay committed to the process even when resistance arises, trusting that clarity follows consistent application. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/uZkJjJP7YLc |

June 10, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr. Tim Hayes This hour continues the exploration of A Course in Miracles Workbook lessons focused on releasing the belief in guilt and the imagined authority of fear-based thoughts. Dr. Tim Hayes emphasizes that the ego’s primary strategy is to convince the mind that pain, loss, or depression are caused by external events, when in fact they arise from internal interpretations. The practice offered is gentle vigilance—learning to notice thoughts without immediately believing them. This awareness is framed as the doorway to peace rather than a demand for mental control or perfection.
A caller’s experience highlights how deeply conditioned self-judgment can feel convincing and automatic. Dr. Hayes reframes this pattern as learned habit rather than personal failure, reinforcing that awakening is not about fixing oneself but about remembering what has always been true. The hour stresses that spiritual practice must remain practical and compassionate, especially when working with emotional pain. True healing is described as the willingness to pause, question the story being told by the mind, and allow a different interpretation to arise naturally. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/dd2ciwqtXYw June 10, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me… Again? Dr. Michael Ryce centers on the mechanics of perception and how unresolved internal content shapes experience. Dr. Michael Ryce explains that the mind does not perceive the world directly but projects its internal data outward, mistaking those projections for reality. This misunderstanding is identified as the root of recurring conflict and emotional suffering. The forgiveness process is presented as the method for removing internal filters rather than changing external circumstances. Listener interaction reinforces the idea that healing begins with responsibility for one’s internal experience, not blame or self-attack. Dr. Ryce clarifies that responsibility is empowering rather than condemning, because it restores choice. The discussion highlights how chronic stress, anger, and fear are stored in the body and nervous system, and how forgiveness functions as a physiological as well as psychological reset. The hour concludes with encouragement to apply the tools consistently, trusting lived results over belief or theory. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/Zz9WpD6Hol8 |

June 11, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM Dr Tim Hayes centers on A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 162, “I am as God created me,” presented as a direct antidote to depression, shame, and self-attack. The lesson is framed not as theology but as a practical mental discipline that dismantles false identity rooted in fear-based thinking. Dr. Tim Hayes emphasizes that depressive thoughts are not truth but conditioned mental noise generated by the ego, and that these thoughts have no inherent power unless believed. The repeated remembrance of one’s created innocence is described as a stabilizing force that restores peace, safety, and clarity at both mental and physiological levels.
The discussion expands into how this practice functions experientially, particularly in relation to decision-making paralysis and fear of mistakes. A live caller explores her fear for her grandson’s future, revealing how her anxiety reflects unhealed patterns rather than objective truth. The idea that awakening does not require perfection is emphasized, along with the insight that growth necessarily involves mistakes. The hour reinforces that freedom comes from releasing judgment, allowing learning, and trusting that each person remains whole and intact regardless of appearances. The lesson is presented as a living tool that supports healing, emotional regulation, and compassionate presence rather than self-correction or control. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/lA-jM-EyI-s June 11, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me… Again? dr michael ryce opens with updates on the development of the MindShifters Forgiveness App and website improvements, highlighting the growing accessibility of forgiveness tools worldwide. Dr. Michael Ryce expresses deep appreciation for the collaborative work making these resources available, framing technology as a vehicle for extending healing rather than distraction. The conversation then transitions into Chapter 14 of Why Is This Happening to Me… Again?, focusing on the removal of hostility and fear as the pathway to an abundant life. The core teaching clarifies that forgiveness, as understood in the original Aramaic, is not about excusing others but about removing internal distortions that generate suffering. Dr. Ryce contrasts this functional understanding with religious dogma, emphasizing that the tools work independently of belief. Forgiveness is presented as a precise internal process that restores the mind’s connection to love, the true “power supply” of human life. The hour stresses that hostility and fear are learned perceptual errors, not intrinsic traits, and that consistent application of forgiveness leads to measurable emotional and physiological change. Listeners are invited to experiment with the tools directly rather than accept ideas on authority, reinforcing responsibility, self-honesty, and lived experience as the foundation of healing.

June 14, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM with Tim Hayes The first hour explores core ACIM themes around perception, responsibility, and the willingness to see differently. Tim Hayes emphasizes that suffering is not caused by external events but by the meanings assigned to them through conditioned perception. He explains that the ego’s habit of judgment maintains pain by insisting on being right rather than being free. Through discussion of ACIM principles, the show highlights the importance of pausing internal commentary and choosing neutrality so that guidance can arise. Emotional upset is reframed as a signal pointing to mistaken perception rather than a justification for reaction. Listeners are encouraged to notice resistance to responsibility and to recognize that true freedom comes from relinquishing the need to control outcomes.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/FdnzvL-9kqQ June 14, 2021 2nd Hour, Why with Dr Michael Ryce Michael Ryce focuses on the mechanics of emotional healing and the role of forgiveness as a physiological process rather than a moral one. He explains how unresolved emotional energy stored in the body drives repetitive life patterns and distorted perception. Using examples from real-life relationships, he demonstrates how the Reality Management Worksheet exposes hidden beliefs and energetic attachments. Ryce reinforces that healing occurs when individuals stop blaming circumstances and instead take responsibility for their internal state. The hour underscores that forgiveness removes interference from the mind, allowing clarity, intuition, and authentic love to emerge naturally. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/C-rfgOoKkpw |

Tim Hayes discusses fear as a learned response rooted in past conditioning rather than present reality. ACIM teachings are applied to everyday situations, showing how small grievances accumulate into chronic stress when left unexamined. The show emphasizes gentleness and patience in the undoing process, reminding listeners that healing does not require force or discipline but willingness. The practice of observing thoughts without attachment is presented as a gateway to peace and inner stability.

June 16, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM with Tim Hayes examines the ego’s reliance on comparison and judgment to maintain identity and separation. Drawing from ACIM, he explains that peace arises when the mind stops measuring itself against others and releases the need for validation. The hour highlights how spiritual concepts can become tools of avoidance if they are used to suppress emotions rather than address them. Hayes encourages honest self-observation and the practice of allowing emotions to surface without assigning stories to them, creating space for healing insight.

June 17, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM with Tim Hayes This hour addresses the challenge of spiritual bypassing and the temptation to use spiritual language to avoid emotional responsibility. Tim Hayes explains that ACIM does not ask people to deny pain but to question the interpretations that give it power. He discusses how resistance to discomfort perpetuates suffering and how willingness opens the door to transformation. The show encourages a gentle, curious approach to inner work, emphasizing trust over control and listening over analysis.

He explains how early life experiences imprint emotional responses that replay automatically unless consciously addressed. The discussion highlights the difference between intellectual understanding and embodied change, stressing that true healing occurs when emotional energy is released rather than discussed. Ryce emphasizes that love is the natural state revealed once fear-based conditioning is removed. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/9jTB9NdN1GI |

June 18, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM with Dr Tim Hayes The first hour centers on A Course in Miracles Lesson 169, “By grace I live, by grace I am released,” and explores grace as the natural state that emerges when the mind is cleared of interference rather than something earned through effort. Tim Hayes emphasizes that grace is not a reward but an inevitable experience when internal noise, emotional clutter, and compulsive thinking are released. Drawing parallels to Aramaic teachings, he explains prayer as “setting a trap for God,” meaning creating an inner space clean enough to receive guidance rather than filling the mind with distractions, interpretations, or rehearsed narratives.
Using vivid metaphors, the show illustrates how constant mental activity blocks true guidance, much like a radio that never stays on one frequency long enough to receive a clear signal. Negative emotions are reframed as feedback rather than failures, guiding the listener toward corrective inner work rather than avoidance. The Reality Management Worksheet is presented as a practical tool for transforming emotional pain into clarity, responsibility, and conscious choice. The hour closes with an invitation to slow down, empty the mind of mental chatter, and allow grace to arise naturally through willingness rather than striving. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/N9FhyZBblXA June 18, 2021 2nd Hour, Why Is This Happening to Me Again? with Dr Michael Ryce The second hour opens with updates on the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness app and ongoing technical challenges, reinforcing the commitment to making forgiveness tools widely accessible. Michael Ryce then guides the audience into a live experiential demonstration of emotional release, working directly with a caller to dissolve reactive emotional attachments. He explains that unresolved emotional ties distort perception and drive unconscious reactions, limiting the ability to communicate consciously and lovingly. Central to the process is the Aramaic concept of Rukha d’Qudsha, described as an internal feminine healing force that corrects errors and restores truth. Through focused awareness in specific brain centers and a simple spoken release statement, listeners are guided to let go of emotional bindings that fuel conflict. The session highlights that healing does not require analysis or struggle but rather willingness to release and allow the body-mind system to recalibrate. The hour reinforces that forgiveness is a physiological and energetic process, not a moral act, and that emotional freedom opens the door to conscious relationship, clarity, and genuine peace.

June 21, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM, with Dr. Tim Hayes opens the week by inviting listeners into a practical exploration of how A Course in Miracles aligns with lived experience rather than abstract spirituality. He emphasizes that the Course is not about denying pain or pretending difficulties do not exist, but about learning to perceive them through a different internal lens. Tim reinforces that perception is always an inside job and that every disturbance offers an opportunity to withdraw projections and reclaim responsibility for one’s internal state.
Throughout the hour, Tim highlights how the ego’s thought system relies on judgment, comparison, and fear, while the Course consistently redirects attention back to love as the only true creative force. He explains that resistance to Course ideas often arises when deeply held emotional patterns are challenged, and that discomfort is a sign of growth rather than failure. Drawing on personal experience, Tim speaks to the necessity of patience and gentleness with oneself when undoing decades of conditioned thinking. Listeners are encouraged to use forgiveness as an active practice rather than a concept, allowing emotions to surface without suppression or blame. Tim reminds the audience that healing does not mean avoiding relationships or challenges, but meeting them with increased awareness and compassion. The hour closes with an invitation to engage the Course as a daily discipline that gradually retrains perception and restores inner peace. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/sg6qKF0Yxcs June 21, 2021 2nd Hour, Why, with Dr. Michael Ryce begins the second hour by clarifying the distinction between intellectual understanding and embodied healing. He explains that many people can articulate spiritual principles while still remaining trapped in unresolved emotional content that drives their behavior. Healing, he says, requires direct engagement with what is stored in the mind-body system, not just cognitive agreement with ideas about love and forgiveness. Working with callers, Michael illustrates how emotional reactions are generated internally and triggered by resonance rather than caused by external events. He introduces the concept of the automatic decision system and explains how unhealed trauma influences choices without conscious awareness. Forgiveness is reframed as the process of removing internal obstructions to love, not excusing or condoning harmful behavior. Michael emphasizes that true responsibility means owning one’s internal experiences without self-condemnation. He cautions against spiritual bypassing, where positive language is used to avoid feeling pain. Instead, listeners are encouraged to allow emotions to be fully experienced and processed so that their underlying causes can be dissolved. The hour concludes with reassurance that persistent practice yields tangible change, even when progress feels slow or uncomfortable. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/22DxeQ5hpho |

June 22, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM, with Dr. Tim Hayes continues exploring how A Course in Miracles challenges the belief that safety is found in control. He explains that the ego’s drive to manage outcomes creates constant anxiety, while true peace arises from trust in the presence of love. Tim underscores that surrender, as described in the Course, is not passive resignation but an active willingness to let go of false certainty.
Tim discusses how judgments about oneself and others reinforce separation and obscure awareness of shared humanity. He encourages listeners to notice how quickly the mind assigns meaning to events and how those meanings generate emotional responses. By practicing forgiveness in real time, individuals can interrupt this cycle and choose a different internal experience. The hour includes reflections on consistency, emphasizing that spiritual insight must be applied repeatedly to reshape perception. Tim reassures listeners that setbacks are normal and do not negate progress. Healing is described as cumulative, unfolding gradually as old beliefs lose their grip. The hour closes with an invitation to engage community support as a means of strengthening commitment and accountability. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/qaTQjS5Gn9k June 22, 2021 2nd Hour, Why, with Dr. Michael Ryce focuses the second hour on dismantling the belief that pain is punishment or proof of wrongdoing. He explains that this belief system, deeply ingrained in many cultures, blocks healing by encouraging guilt and self-attack. Instead, pain is presented as feedback indicating unresolved internal content seeking awareness and release. Through dialogue with callers, Michael demonstrates how to trace emotional reactions back to their origins rather than projecting them outward. He explains that forgiveness worksheets provide a structured way to engage the healing process without becoming overwhelmed. Emphasis is placed on learning to stay present with discomfort long enough for integration to occur. Michael also addresses the physiological aspects of healing, noting that emotional processing often affects the body. Symptoms are reframed as communication rather than malfunction. The hour ends with encouragement to trust the process and to remain committed even when the mind resists change. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/3CcjMl4MvhI |

June 23, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM, with Dr. Tim Hayes opens the first hour by exploring the Course’s assertion that conflict arises from misperception. He explains that when individuals believe they are separate or lacking, they unconsciously seek validation through external circumstances. Tim emphasizes that the Course invites a shift from seeking externally to remembering inner completeness.
He discusses how forgiveness functions as a corrective lens that restores clarity rather than as a moral obligation. Tim highlights the importance of willingness, noting that transformation begins with openness rather than perfection. Listeners are encouraged to observe their thoughts without judgment and to gently question assumptions that generate fear or resentment. The hour includes reflections on relationship dynamics, emphasizing that relationships serve as classrooms for healing. By recognizing projections, individuals can reclaim their creative power and experience deeper connection. Tim closes by reinforcing the value of daily practice and self-honesty. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/iwYs1AuFGjA June 23, 2021 2nd Hour, Why, with Dr. Michael Ryce uses the second hour to deepen the discussion on projection and responsibility. He explains that blaming others temporarily relieves discomfort but ultimately reinforces suffering. Healing requires reversing this habit and learning to look inward with curiosity rather than judgment. Michael guides callers through identifying the internal sources of their emotional pain, emphasizing that awareness alone is often enough to begin change. He clarifies that forgiveness does not mean tolerating abuse, but freeing oneself from internal bondage. The process is described as reclaiming one’s capacity to choose love over fear. The hour concludes with reassurance that everyone has the ability to heal, regardless of past trauma. Persistence, gentleness, and honesty are highlighted as essential qualities in the journey toward wholeness. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/R7tuDD29bwg |

June 24, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM, with Dr. Tim Hayes begins the first hour by addressing the fear of letting go of familiar patterns, even when they cause suffering. He explains that the ego equates familiarity with safety, while true safety lies in alignment with love. Tim encourages listeners to notice resistance without condemning themselves for it.
He revisits the Course’s emphasis on choice, reminding listeners that every moment offers the opportunity to choose peace instead of conflict. Tim discusses how consistent practice builds trust in this process and gradually weakens habitual fear responses. Healing is framed as learning to respond rather than react. The hour closes with encouragement to remain engaged even when progress feels subtle. Tim reassures listeners that transformation is occurring beneath the surface as perception shifts. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/OEmu_cZx2aY June 24, 2021 2nd Hour, Why, with Dr. Michael Ryce centers the second hour on the theme of trust in the healing process. He explains that impatience often arises from the mind’s demand for immediate results, while healing unfolds according to deeper rhythms. Michael emphasizes that forcing change only reinforces resistance. Working with callers, he illustrates how self-compassion accelerates healing by creating a safe internal environment. He reiterates that love is not something to be earned but something to be uncovered by removing internal blocks. Forgiveness is again framed as the mechanism for restoring awareness of this truth. The hour concludes with encouragement to remain committed to the work and to remember that every step taken consciously contributes to lasting change. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/WxCM-ULcDTg |

June 25, 2021 1st Hour, ACIM, with Dr. Tim Hayes opens the first hour by welcoming listeners into another day of MindShifters Radio and grounding the discussion in the practical application of healing tools developed by Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce. He emphasizes the Reality Management Worksheet as a central instrument for transforming emotional pain into guidance, explaining how negative emotions are not obstacles but signals inviting deeper awareness and healing. Tim highlights the accessibility of these tools through the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness app and encourages repeated use so listeners can build proficiency and confidence in navigating their inner experiences.
The conversation weaves through the ongoing review of A Course in Miracles workbook lessons, focusing on the recognition that the Creator is Love and therefore so are we. Tim contrasts the ego’s habitual reliance on past-based solutions with the heart’s capacity to access new, life-giving guidance when love is held conscious and active. He underscores that healing often looks like discomfort at first, not because something is wrong, but because long-held beliefs and emotional patterns are being dismantled. Tim reflects on years of personal experience using the worksheet process, noting how situations that once triggered reactive behaviors now invite clarity and presence instead. He addresses the misconception that healing eliminates challenges, explaining instead that healing changes how challenges are perceived and engaged. Through community support, shared practice, and conscious participation in the co-creative process, listeners are invited to move beyond unconscious patterns that have shaped their lives and relationships. The hour closes with an open invitation for questions, dialogue, and participation in ongoing support groups that deepen understanding through lived experience. YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/UVGsLS7-sPE June 25, 2021 2nd Hour, Why, with Dr. Michael Ryce Dr. Michael Ryce begins the second hour by welcoming callers into a deeper exploration of first-century Aramaic forgiveness and the physiology of healing. Working directly with a caller, he illustrates how emotional intensity is not a failure of the process but evidence that healing is underway. Michael introduces the idea that most people lack “brain cells” for healing, meaning they have never been taught how to interpret pain as movement toward wholeness rather than as a sign of danger or dysfunction. He explains that healing requires building new neural pathways that allow individuals to recognize old emotional content as information ready to be processed and released. When love is held conscious, active, and present, everything that is unlike love must surface in order to be resolved. Michael reframes fear, sadness, anger, and confusion as indicators that stored distortions are coming into awareness, not as proof that something has gone wrong. Throughout the hour, he emphasizes stepping into the role of observer — becoming the thinker apart from the thought, the feeler apart from the feeling, and the actor apart from the action. This shift allows individuals to disengage from power-person dynamics and automatic decision systems rooted in the past. Michael cautions against the mind’s tendency to project blame outward, reminding listeners that advising others from a place of judgment is often a reflection of unresolved inner material. He clarifies that resistance to healing is natural and arises from fear of the unfamiliar, but with practice, individuals can learn to recognize healing crises as opportunities for transformation. Physical symptoms, emotional turbulence, and mental confusion are reframed as stages of integration as old patterns dissolve. The hour concludes with encouragement to persist in the process, trusting that whatever is faced and processed consciously no longer controls one’s life from the shadows.

June 28, 2021 – First Hour ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes continued the exploration of A Course in Miracles by emphasizing the distinction between perception and truth, underscoring that the mind’s interpretations are not neutral but are guided by hidden goals. The conversation focused on how unconscious objectives distort perception and generate emotional experience, reinforcing the ACIM teaching that peace is restored not by changing external circumstances but by changing the purpose the mind serves. Tim highlighted that willingness is the doorway to correction and that healing occurs when one allows the mind to be shown another way of seeing, rather than defending the current interpretation. The discussion reinforced the practical application of forgiveness as a mental shift that releases the need to be right and opens space for direct experience of peace.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/DP3T8RUAjEU June 28, 2021 – Second Hour Why with Dr. Michael Ryce expanded on the practical mechanics of forgiveness by connecting ACIM principles with the MindShifters model of goal cancellation. He explained that emotional pain is not caused by external events but by internally held goals that drive perception. When those goals are canceled, the mind naturally releases the emotional output associated with them. Michael emphasized responsibility as empowerment, not blame, and clarified that forgiveness is a physiological and neurological process that restores the mind to its original function. Listener interactions reinforced how canceling goals exposes previously unconscious patterns and allows stored hostility or fear to dissolve, restoring access to Love as a lived state.

June 29, 2021 – First Hour ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes This episode focused on the ACIM teaching that the ego’s thought system depends on comparison, judgment, and separation, while true perception arises from relinquishing these habits. Tim Hayes discussed how the mind is trained to seek validation through being right or superior, which inevitably produces conflict. The conversation highlighted that peace is not achieved by managing behavior but by addressing the underlying purpose of the mind. Tim reiterated that forgiveness in ACIM is not pardon but correction, a return to clarity that occurs when the mind releases its investment in judgment and chooses alignment with Love instead of fear.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/C-KFDw7oCsU June 29, 2021 – Second Hour Why with Dr. Michael Ryce deepened the dialogue by translating ACIM concepts into actionable tools, emphasizing the role of denial in maintaining suffering. He explained how the mind uses blame to avoid feeling unresolved emotional content and how forgiveness dismantles that avoidance by removing the goal that drives perception. The discussion addressed the physiological cost of chronic hostility and fear and how StillPoint Breathing supports the nervous system in releasing stored trauma. Michael reinforced that healing is not about fixing oneself but about removing what blocks awareness of one’s true nature as Love. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/-MyQ_UEQxJ8 |
