Radio Show Archive – March 2016

Dementia and Alzheimers is sometimes a “check out” – too much stress to deal with the emotonal pain.  Cannot change symptoms, must change cause.  Remove the energy from the cell and it goes back to health.  Esther calls in, she wants to do something other than “buy into” the diagnosis that she has Alzheimers.

A large portion of the show focuses on how to correctly use the Reality Management Worksheet to uncover and heal core wounds. Dr. Ryce walks through the steps of identifying a triggering event, examining the emotion it brings up, and then locating the goal that underlies that pain. Canceling that goal becomes the key to dissolving the energetic pattern. Jeanie echoes this process by sharing practical examples, emphasizing that people often blame others for their upset when in reality it is the mind’s goal-driven expectations and unresolved trauma that create emotional suffering.

The show then shifts to a profound discussion on the “power person” dynamic and how these early unresolved relationships—especially those with authority figures like parents—get unconsciously recreated in adult relationships. Dr. Ryce explains that when a partner triggers the pain associated with a power person, the mind stops seeing the present and instead relives the past. Unless this dynamic is brought to awareness and healed, the relationship becomes a reenactment of old wounds. He reminds listeners that this generational pain continues to cycle until someone chooses to do the inner work and stop the repetition.

Susan, a regular caller, contributes a vulnerable and powerful account of her continued work with the forgiveness tools. She shares how she is confronting layers of pain and facing the roots of addictive behaviors tied to her childhood. Dr. Ryce affirms her courage and points out that the healing process is like peeling an onion—each layer reveals deeper insight and clearer access to our true being. He also highlights that using drugs or distractions only serves to cover up the pain, but doesn’t resolve it.

In closing, Dr. Ryce and Jeanie emphasize the importance of persistence in using the tools, reminding listeners that healing is not a one-time event but a committed practice of self-responsibility. They encourage listeners to remember that we are not the fearful, hostile, or addicted beings we may have learned to be—we are love. When we live from that truth, everything begins to shift.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday!  In this intensive, complexities, conflicts and tragedies held in the mind have come forward in order to be freed of them.  However, where people do not have the tools it is near impossible to get to the point of healing.  michael reads an excerpt that describes hopelessness and the author actually thinks that is normal.

Dr. Tim and Gail join us for recovery discussion. Dr Tim offers a process (http://www.ch4cs.com/media.asp) to “Saying goodbye to good people without saying goodbye to good memories” go to http://www.ch4cs.com/upload/saying_goodbye_to_good_people_-_handout.pdf for the pdf handout.

Examination of the messages from the tribe (book: “Not Under Forty” by Willa Cather) ties in with the Aramaic Be-Attitudes (Matthew 5).  Like searching a fearless inventory and confession in AA.

Gail reads from /references “Twelve Steps Twelve Traditions” an Alcoholics Anonymous book.

michael said it would be great if we could slip in the actual forgiveness step that is alluded to, suggest go to www.whyagain.org and go to our Youtube channel and watch Bill Costantino’s power point presentation of the forgiveness work.

When we hit critical mass – in an instant there will be a transformation and we won’t know we are in the same world.

Paul expresses his thanks for this work.  He was using the cancel the goal process with another person and saw an immediate change in their countenance.

What does “Holding the space” mean?

Playing out Power People dynamics.  Raised in an environment where there was a “daily dose of disapproval” and that person will either disapprove of another or draw in someone to disapprove of them.

Explain how Y’Shua (aka Jesus) taught the real meaning of heart, unconscious and forgiveness from Aramaic.  Don’t believe it, just try it, it works.

Most difficult part in the beginning of doing this work is for someone to get that it is about our own file folders we hold within that get triggered.  This is a “home game.”

As a child when a parent is in distress and the child attempts to fix it for the parent and cannot…they come to a conclusion (or it is in genetics) that (1) It is my fault, (2) I am helpless, (3) I am a failure, (4) therefore life is hopeless. Then later in relationship when “You Made Me …..” is said, these 4 files fire and the relationship is over.

Erica asks, “I use a lot of my painful experiences to fuel my creative process. I had the thought that if I dismantle all this rage and anger and pain, I will have nothing to write about. What are your thoughts?”

Our brain records a lot of information however it does not record our perception or reality – it constucts it based on bits and pieces of our past memories, events, emotions, etc stimulated by what was received by the eye (see https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/books-and-monographs/psychology-of-intelligence-analysis/art5.html). So our perception may or may not be accurate about the current event but it is constructed out of past experiences.  We do not see what is truly ‘out there’ but massaged into our past. Often the thoughts are competing realities (i.e. I am a good parent.  I failed my daughter.) which creates confusion and increases stress. We want our personal constructs to be the highest and best to guide us through our life. If our perception (construct) is less than love then we must forgive the error…remove the corrupt data so we ‘see’ more accurately.

The conversation delves deeply into the dynamics of the power person, exposing how individuals unknowingly bring unresolved emotional pain into adult relationships. Dr. Ryce explains that when a partner triggers unresolved feelings originally associated with a dominant figure in childhood, the mind replaces the present reality with the emotional memory of the past. This phenomenon, called “relationship substitution,” creates confusion and discord, as people respond to their partner based on outdated emotional data rather than the truth of the present moment. He emphasizes that these patterns are not conscious choices but automatic responses formed in early development.

A caller named Susan joins the discussion and shares a powerful, vulnerable account of her ongoing journey using the forgiveness tools. She opens up about an early trauma in which she was repeatedly shamed and blamed by a parent, leading her to internalize guilt and self-loathing. She reveals how these early experiences created a blueprint for later addictions and emotional pain. Dr. Ryce compassionately affirms her courage and guides her to see that healing is not about punishing herself or reliving the past but about choosing love in the present and being willing to let go of destructive internal goals.

Jeanie supports Susan by highlighting how the forgiveness tools helped her break through her own emotional patterns and recognize her authentic self as the presence of love. The episode becomes a shared space of profound emotional honesty, healing, and spiritual insight. Dr. Ryce concludes by urging listeners to stay committed to using the worksheet process daily and to recognize that the core of every human being is not trauma or pain but love itself. The conversation reinforces the power of these tools not only to clear emotional pain but also to restore clarity, conscious choice, and connection in relationships.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday!  Frustrated goals create stress, ultimately high stress level and one turns to addictive behavior to anesthesize themself from the pain, and also blocks the truth of their own behavior by denial.

Conversation about some people not wanting to go to a group (i.e. support group or AA or NA, etc) – find a group you are comfortable with and then continue looking and find more than one group. If the composition of the group changes the entire group personality can change and then one can find themselves experiencing uncomfort again.  Have a back-up support.

Break the cycle of guilt.  Guilt will never keep one sober.  Let go of guilt, fault or blame.  Forgiveness (not pardoning) is a no fault process…however one must take responsibility for their decisions and choices and the results that follow.

Suggestion of one show of “where do I start toward recovery?”

When is it OK to “walk away”?  It is always OK to walk away however there are always consequences.  If I choose to walk away, I need to be aware that I still have work to do.  Am I pushing it down and am I in denial or am I moving into a space to help myself?  Am I lovingly making the choice to live differently? Or is my CBM making a decision from the past? Leaving issue is linked to objectifying the other person…we are such a throw away society…abandonment issues result.

Entertain the thought that I could heal the leaving issue to the point and depth that I could actually apply forgiveness to the ultimate leaving issue – death.

And consider, some relationships are entered into on the inappropriate basis or with a person who is not willing to change and grow and we are attempting to change them instead of working on what it brings up for us.  Perception always tells more about the perceiver than the object being perceived.

Suggest: tune into the upsets and irritations and get better and better at calling a time out for myself and applying the tools, whether it is cancelling, tapping or breathing.  Then after I am centered, make the choice do I walk away or stay?

Perception – judging by appearance – constructing a belief made out of our past.  Our perception is supposed to be our guide (the light) to take us through life. If our “light” is hostility and fear instead of Love then our “darkness” will be deep.  First Law is to keep Rakhma active (your perception plugged into Love) when you think of God or neighbor (anyone you think of) in order to maintain self.

What is the difference in man’s “rules” and the “Laws” from the Eternal Forces? Laws are not rules of a superior but are laws from the universe created by God that cannot be broken.  Once we know how they operate we can live in harmony with them (move within them easily).  If we do not understand them then we come into collision and we get broken not the Law.

michael reads from I Samuel 8:1-22 what the Creator said would happen when the people turn from serving God in order to serve an early king…and yet the people said give us a king.

Question came out of the chatroom about “The Law of Acceptance”? Google search says the Law of Acceptance and Divine Order is that we accept everyone and everything as they are knowing it is perfect and meant to be as it is and that it is all OK in life.  This is NOT a law of the eternal forces. This is a belief set up by man, most likely in order to “accept” a behavior that is off target from the rel Law.  It is not about “relaxing into and passively accepting with peace and serenity” every behavior.  When people choose to go into gross violation in order to validate their behavior, if it brings up something in me that is less than love then it is perfect for showing me my work but that does not mean I have to accept it.  The Law requires I stay connected to love but I can hold another accountable and even stop a behavior that is off target.  Ex. if someone wants to step off a cliff to their death then that is their choice but if they have a child by the hand and want t otake them with them then I can stop that and not accept it.  Everything is not perfect as it is.

Other discussions around the Laws of holding land, not own more than one can occupy & possess.  Laws of rotating crops and letting the land lay fallow. Laws of money.

Everyone has the right to say I have had enough and don’t want to play here and leave the relationship… taking the leaving off the table (even to the point of not dying).  There are consequences for leaving any relationship.  If I choose to leave and doing it from a place of calm knowing it is not “right” for me then I still have work to do. If I leave and do not continue my work then I create a prison for myself.  Some people have the “problem” of leaving and others have the opposite problem of “staying” long beyond an unhealthy point.  Either way I need to heal my part of the issue in order to create a future healthy pattern in relationship.  I may even have a better interaction with the other person and see them and the relationship differently.

One can look at a relationship (as with ANY issue) from two perspectives 1) out of fear or hostility from the past or 2) connected, as an observer, and recognize the situation more closely to what is accurate.

Regarding two people in a relationship, it is not the relationship that is the problem but it is the two people involved in the relationship and their individual internal dynamics that are disconnected. Look at “I am unhealthy in this relationship” and recognize each person co-created the dynamics that needs healing. There is no diseased relationship, it is perfectly reflecting what we need to heal.

ACIM: Be aware of the distorting power of the way you want it to be.

Coming into the season of the resurrection … YShua held the space in relationship with what the world would call torture and he stays connected and says “Behold, I make all things new.”

Real healing (physical, mental & emotional) is not Dr. Feelgood – we must go back through and process everything stored within your structure from the generations.  We do promise that if you use the tools you will off-load these things and heal.  It takes courage and willingness.  On the otherside is joy and peace and bliss.

Dianne calls in about a challenge of doing meal planning (desire to stay raw after the intensive).  Did a worksheet on feeling perplexed, triggered by self in not meeting goals of planning meals, punishment?? Jeanie offered punish self by eating poorly.  michael said it sounds akin to procrastination which means too many goals.  MindShifter: “It is safe and healing and easy for me to create an awesome supportive food plan that I easily follow.”   She shared getting to the end of her worksheet and getting the awareness of being 12 years old and her “friends” leaving her and calling her fat and she began dieting at 12 and started planning her meals.  Being objectified and feeling the need to have to “shape up” the external for another’s reality of what was acceptable.  The sensitivity of a child is impacted and the realities formed stay on and reflect throughout life until they are forgiven.

Dr. Ryce continued by discussing the Aramaic understanding of forgiveness, which he explained is not about pardoning others but about removing the root of internal pain and madness. He referenced the Beatitudes in Aramaic to emphasize that mourning one’s own errors leads to healing and restoration of well-being. Ryce expanded on how addictions, whether to substances or emotional patterns like rage, are anesthetics used to numb deep-seated pain. He stressed that true recovery comes from acknowledging and processing this pain rather than avoiding it, emphasizing the idea that what pains us is not others’ behavior but what we’ve associated with them in our own minds—the “file folder effect.”

A powerful portion of the show came from a deeply vulnerable and emotional contribution by a caller named Gail. She courageously shared her feelings of paralyzing grief and rage triggered by a recent violation of her home, which resonated with earlier life traumas, including sexual abuse. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Hayes both held space for her pain and walked her through differentiating thoughts from feelings, helping her connect with the root of her suffering and offering forgiveness tools to dismantle internalized trauma. Gail’s expression of her readiness to break generational cycles for her daughter and grandson added profound emotional weight to the discussion.

Dr. Hayes added a supportive anecdote from his own healing journey, sharing how his work with a Jungian analyst helped him face overwhelming grief that had threatened to mentally unravel him. He emphasized the importance of having a safety net of support to move through seemingly bottomless emotional pits, reminding Gail—and listeners—that the pit is not bottomless and healing is possible. He and Ryce guided Gail in a self-nurturing exercise inspired by Sylvia Boorstein, who modeled how to speak gently to oneself during distress by saying, “Sweetheart, you’re in pain.”

The episode concluded with affirmations of support from another caller, Rex, who reminded everyone that these painful experiences serve a healing purpose when we allow them to surface, be processed, and released. Ryce closed the show by reaffirming the need to hold individuals accountable for their behavior while also taking responsibility for what we attract into our lives, emphasizing the balance between accountability and self-responsibility in the healing journey.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday!  The second Be-Attitudes (from Aramaic) says “God implanted in your mind neural structures which will guide you when they are active. If they are active, you who follow these instructions will come into conscious possession of and be able to use this latent guidance system, designed to make available thoughts and actions that will increase your happiness and well-being:You abili (who love Truth and profess your errors and the errors of your society), you shall benitbeyoon (be freed of mental stress).”   Every alcoholic or drug addict (even if the drug default is rage, sugar, caffeine, junk food) turn to their drug because without it they must face the fear and pain that lays underneath. Addiction is compulsive use of any person, place, thing or event to keep from dealing with what is going on inside or from following ones higher guidance.  When we look into the error of our thought and remove it then recovery from the resulting behavior is possible.

Quote by Samuel Huntington: “The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”  We need to recover from this violence. Recover from the viciousness and insanity – seen prominently during this time of voting.

Gail calls in with request for support.  Feelings from the thought of her home being violated while she was gone, resonated past experiences of being personally violated.

Dr. Tim shared a piece from Sylvia Boorstein who says when you find yourself suffering, put your hand on your heart and say to yourself, “Sweetheart, you’re in pain. Relax. Take a breath. Lets pay attention to what is happening, and then we’ll figure out what to do.”

Perception is the light (the guide) for our earthly life.  The perceptual mind can make up anything to justify one’s behavior or thoughts.  With the tools the abhorrent perception can be kept on track and one can have the most accurate representation of actuality.  First order is to keep Rakhma active then do forgiveness (not pardoning).  The insanity has been going on for generations and it can’t be cleaned up overnight.  In the story of the Jews wandering in the desert for 40 years, the old generation had to die to enter the Promised Land.  Generation is from genare meaning cause – so it really meant all the old causes have to die (not the physical bodies) in order to enter into the promised land of conscious creation.  Most people wander through life for 40+ years in deep and painful experiences until they awaken to there being something more.

Captain and Stacy call in to request support in what is perceived as a conflict within their relationship around disrespect, infidelity, lack of trust and put-down.  michael walks them through seeing it is really self-put down perceived as another putting one down.  Forgive what is blocking the filter of seeing each other as love.  The goal (wanting a different response: one of compassion) is the “way I want it to be” and drives perception.  Cancel the goal and be freed of that perception and be in a connected space of Love regardless of the result.  Then from that connected space, a responsible communication can be had around preferred behaviors and commitment toward each other.  That which I fear most is upon me.  Most generous triggers and ones projection of their own pain into the situation.  Be gentle with self and your words and behaviors on the side of compassion, gentleness and love otherwise you will slide right back into old habits of “leaving and lashing out.”  If we err, lets err to the side of love instead of hostility or fear.  In her past she has been abused and has fear and thus she can’t hold the space in the face of your hostility and blame.

Captain called back in from yesterday, he said he got an “ah-ha” moment about yesterday and his need for self-love. Great resistence in hearing that self-love means tapping into self (the newborn essence – who one truly is) and extending that either to self or another.  Self-love is NOT “to hell with everyone else and what they need, I’ll just take care of what I want”  that is narcissism and not helpful in what you say you want for your life and your relationships.

If you continue to talk out of your pain, blaming them instead of taking responsibility for the pain as being yours, speaking in anger will make it more difficult for people to stay in your space and support you during your process. Keep in mind that leaving is deeply encoded in our genetics and that will not serve you in your process.  Go back to Thursday March 10th and Monday March 14th shows – we covered this topic in depth. Take leaving off the table – no one can heal alone.

Stacey called in to add some of her perspective about their situation.  She has a matching bag called fear to his bag of anger.  Separating for her is to feel safe. Perfect relationships are those formed out of matching bags of garbage. What we do with them either leads us toward healing or it leads us into further dis-ease state.

Powerful to have a couple be willing to bring their issue to public radio. We all benefit. Carl Jung says “those who look without dream…those who look within awaken.” It is time to awaken from the dream and heal.

Dr. Ryce expanded on the concept of “recovery” by focusing on how people often become lost in the energetic patterns of past traumas. These patterns drive behaviors that feel like personal choices but are really unconscious repetitions of unresolved pain. He explained that the only way to truly heal is to address these patterns directly through the forgiveness process, which is not about pardoning others but about dismantling the internal energetic dynamics that keep the pain active. He brought attention to how modern psychological diagnoses, such as bipolar disorder or personality disorders, are often labels placed on people who are actually experiencing the effects of unresolved trauma and dissociation, often stemming from early life experiences.

A major focus of the show was on the role of dissociation, where the mind fragments under overwhelming stress and creates a disconnect from painful emotions. Dr. Ryce highlighted how many people with trauma histories unconsciously dissociate from their pain and function from fractured states of being, which can be mistaken for deliberate behavior or personal flaws. He shared insights into how this fragmentation begins in childhood, particularly in response to abuse or neglect, and how it becomes the foundation for many adult issues, including addiction, rage, and codependency. The show pointed out that societal systems often compound this pain by pathologizing the symptoms without offering tools to heal the root cause.

Dr. Tim Hayes contributed his clinical perspective by validating these insights through his experience with patients. He emphasized how essential it is for people in recovery to recognize that their reactions are not character defects but coping mechanisms formed in response to trauma. He underscored the importance of compassion, self-observation, and forgiveness work as part of the healing journey, especially for those navigating intense emotional swings or addictive patterns. He also echoed the idea that spiritual awakening and recovery are parallel paths, both aimed at returning to one’s true, loving nature.

A caller named Gail returned in this episode to continue her vulnerable healing journey. She spoke about revisiting old patterns and experiencing the intense emotions associated with feeling unworthy and disconnected. The hosts held compassionate space for her, reinforcing the importance of facing the internalized voices of condemnation and choosing instead to be present, breathe, and apply the forgiveness tools. They encouraged her to honor her progress and reminded her that healing is not linear—it often involves revisiting old pain with new awareness.

The show ended with a discussion on choosing love consciously, even when old patterns and pain are triggered. Dr. Ryce reiterated that the forgiveness process is not about forgetting or excusing behavior but about clearing the energetic imprint of pain from one’s system. Recovery, he emphasized, is about recovering the true self, not managing symptoms indefinitely. Listeners were reminded that healing requires courage, self-honesty, and consistent practice of the tools that help shift the mind toward love and truth.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday!

Caller Weslieann, called in with a request for support during the process of grief, as a close relationship ends. Michael explains the process of using language, to help establish and integrate where the responsibility for healing, belongs. Things outside of me, are not the cause, but rather the effect, the effect of the content of my mind, being projected on to images outside of myself.

Dr Tim shared about last nights support group and the key message in the HEALING THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS video.

Caller Captain addressed that he was doing to his best friend what he hated most that his power person did to him, they pushed him away and abandoned him.  Michael offered that the thing that causes us to turn to the power person dynamic is when our stress is up because Captain set an unattainable goal to prove to his friend that he’s dealt with his issue and it’s gone.  Michael offered it’s not gone and won’t happen in one generation.  Captain needs to cancel his goal because he’s going to create stressors.

(Summation by Cecilia, thank you!)

Conversation about “abandoning a relationship” and taking responsibility for the dis-motion moving within.  Second caller about abandoning self and the thought of losing everything in life and the intense dis-motion.  michael gave him a mindshifter: “It is safe & healing for me to feel all the terror that is in my body.”

Question on a situation between a parent and child, where hostility is involved.  Look at victimhood.  The child’s rage is covering tremendous pain probably around the parents’ separation.

Suggest using the “Inside Out” dolls with the child. Or an imaginary “trip” to calm the dis-motions that are active in the moment.

Rex in Lansing, MI – Phone 517-449-1177 – MindShifter Meeting has shifted back to his house starting tonight, Tuesday, March 29th – call for information and details

Caller from the intensive in February asked for direction on which DVDs to watch in what order.  Why Again, Healing Through Relationships, CoDependence to InterDependence, Circle of Life, Purpose Personal Power & Commitment, Laws of Living, Getting the Stress and MindShifters and then rotate randomly through the others.  Perhaps take the third evaluation for clearer direction.

Dr. Ryce emphasized the distinction between managing symptoms and achieving true healing. He pointed out that people often seek to cope with or medicate their pain rather than deal directly with the root of their suffering. He described dissociation as the mind’s mechanism for protecting itself from unbearable pain, often starting in childhood, and explained how this fragmentation creates different “identities” or dissociated parts that can surface unpredictably in adult life. These parts, when not acknowledged and healed, can drive addictive or destructive behaviors. He underscored that true recovery involves reconnecting with and integrating these wounded parts, using forgiveness to collapse the energetic roots of trauma and restore a sense of wholeness.

Dr. Tim Hayes contributed clinical insight into the dynamics of trauma and recovery, stating that most people who suffer from addictions or behavioral patterns are not broken but are responding to unhealed pain from earlier life experiences. He emphasized that trauma isn’t always a single overwhelming event; it can result from repeated invalidation or subtle neglect that undermines a child’s sense of self. He pointed to the value of the forgiveness work offered in this community as a profound method of going beyond coping strategies and into actual resolution of internal conflict. Dr. Hayes also reminded listeners that while psychological systems often offer labels and medications, they seldom provide the tools necessary for deep healing.

A significant part of the episode involved revisiting a caller’s process from the previous week. Gail called in again to report continued progress in facing her emotional pain and feeling its intensity without collapsing under it. She described the moments of “not wanting to be here” and the overwhelming weight of old wounds but also shared how the tools—particularly breathwork, journaling, and forgiveness—were helping her move through the pain. Dr. Ryce and Dr. Hayes both supported her with compassionate affirmations and reminded her that those intense emotions are old energies surfacing to be released. Gail’s courage in staying present with her pain was honored as an act of deep healing and generational transformation.

The episode concluded with a discussion about how most people confuse spiritual awareness with emotional avoidance. Dr. Ryce emphasized that true spiritual strength is found in facing pain directly and using forgiveness to release it, rather than spiritually bypassing it with platitudes. He encouraged listeners to recognize that the work of healing and recovery is not a weakness but a conscious return to the original state of being—Love. The importance of consistent application of the forgiveness tools was highlighted as essential to transforming deep-seated trauma and living a life aligned with presence, peace, and purpose.

Additional Notes:

Recovery Wednesday! David calls in for support around terror that came up for him when he visited a friend in a psych ward.  It brought up memories of when he too was in a psych ward.  Dealing with the terror differently now.  He used to turn to alcohol now he breathes and does wake-up sheets.  Discussion of being open with his dis-motions even to his daughter instead of masking it as if everything is fine.

Rex gave the example of the movie “Risen” and when the centurian was sitting in awe and Y’Shua said you saw me crucified and dead and here you sit talking with me now and you still doubt, how difficult will it be for one to believe who never witnessed either the death or the life after.  And then when the leeper was healed by his faith and those with lesser faith doubted.

Mary calls in – she just lost her Mom and has been through a lot of things lately.  She realized she linked “loss” with punishment.  Huge learning experience and great appreciation for all the support during this time.
