Dr. Ryce explored themes of interconnectedness and the illusion of separation, referencing insights from figures like Einstein and Alberto Villalobo. The episode highlighted how perceiving others as separate is an optical delusion that obstructs the natural state of love. Examples included societal shifts, such as Native American communities being divided by land ownership, which disrupted collective unity. The hosts stressed the importance of community for human development, advocating for tools that help restore relationships and dissolve illusions of division.

Additionally, the show addressed practical applications of these spiritual concepts, including responsibility communication. This tool allows individuals to navigate relational challenges, like dealing with manipulative behavior or unresolved family dynamics, by uncovering and releasing personal triggers. Listeners were encouraged to engage with tools like the Reality Management Worksheet to gain clarity and make transformative shifts in their lives.

A recurring theme was the need to embrace and love all parts of oneself and others, even amid challenges. The episode explored how cultural values, such as materialism and individualism, can obstruct this process and lead to dissatisfaction. Dr. Ryce invited listeners to question these values and instead cultivate inclusion and compassion as foundational principles.

The episode also featured practical examples, including callers seeking advice on personal and family dynamics. Dr. Ryce and Jeanie guided them through tailored strategies, encouraging the use of forgiveness tools and open-hearted communication to resolve conflicts and promote healing. Overall, the session provided a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of these spiritual practices when applied consistently and mindfully.

Jeanie shared my reality is true about me, it might be true about them and it might not.  Make a list of choices (to do or not to do) and the potential results of that choice then decide which result you can live with.

1. You may wonder why it is so crucial that you look upon your hatred and realize its full extent. ²You may also think that it would be easy enough for the Holy Spirit to show it to you, and to dispel it without the need for you to raise it to awareness yourself. ³Yet there is one more obstacle you have interposed between yourself and the Atonement. ⁴We have said that no one will countenance fear if he recognizes it. ⁵Yet in your disordered state of mind you are not afraid of fear. ⁶You do not like it, but it is not your desire to attack that really frightens you. ⁷You are not seriously disturbed by your hostility. ⁸You keep it hidden because you are more afraid of what it covers. ⁹You could look even upon the ego’s darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not believe that, without the ego, you would find within yourself something you fear even more. ¹⁰You are not really afraid of crucifixion. ¹¹Your real terror is of redemption. (ACIM, T-13.III.1:1-11)

Dr. Tim Hayes shared practical insights into using the Reality Management Worksheet, a tool designed to help individuals identify and release negative emotional patterns. The hosts emphasized that forgiveness is an internal process of addressing one’s own mental and emotional patterns, rather than focusing on external blame. Through various anecdotes and teachings, the episode illustrated how holding the condition of love in one’s mind, even toward adversaries, has the power to heal and transform both personal and collective energies.

The episode also examined the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and physiological health. The teachings reinforced that unresolved emotional energies manifest as physical ailments and societal issues. The hosts encouraged listeners to take full responsibility for their emotional states, engage in self-reflective practices, and apply forgiveness tools to release past pain and achieve emotional freedom.

Ultimately, the show invited listeners to explore a higher level of personal accountability and spiritual growth, where love becomes the central guiding principle in all interactions and relationships. The episode provided a roadmap for healing oneself and, by extension, contributing to the healing of the broader world.

Getting the Stress You Need https://whyagain.org/product/getting-the-stress-you-need/

Caller Peter from Sweden, asked about being able to hold the space when his father passed 6 weeks ago. Peter had made a commitment to be present with his Dad but why not as readily able to get in that space with his son? It is not an action of the mind but when you have cleared enough ‘noise’ of drama, pain and trauma you will be able to be that space with him too.

Jeanie shared about “letting” her Dad go 6-weeks ago too

michael shared the experience of being asked of his ancestors to clear the darkness. Fruit of your work.  Look what you were able to offer your son in the conversation with your Dad – he knows what is possible.

ACIM says “exempt no one from your love” let’s change that to “embrace everyone in your love”

The May 4, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio focused on the profound themes of forgiveness, emotional healing, and personal empowerment. Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce led a discussion that emphasized the significance of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, which seeks to dismantle internal emotional and mental patterns rather than seeking retribution or pardoning others. They discussed how anger, often mistaken for a genuine emotion, serves as a cover for fear and pain and functions as an anesthetic to avoid deeper introspection.

The hosts explored the concept of dropping “the rope in the tug-of-war,” illustrating how choosing not to engage in reactive cycles can disrupt negative dynamics and open space for healing. They also introduced the Mind Goal Management Worksheet as a tool to address unresolved goals that unconsciously drive behaviors and emotions. This tool allows individuals to cancel outdated or harmful goals, enabling the mind to operate from a state of clarity and harmony.

Dr. Ryce highlighted the creative nature of human beings and the responsibility that comes with it, emphasizing the importance of owning one’s creations, whether positive or negative. He explained how forgiveness enables individuals to access hidden parts of their minds, releasing patterns that perpetuate pain and conflict. Through this process, people can reconnect with their true nature as the active presence of love.

The episode included compelling stories from callers, illustrating how the teachings have transformed their lives and relationships. The overarching message was one of hope, inviting listeners to embrace the power of love, breath, and forgiveness to heal themselves and their generational patterns.

The May 5, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio focused on managing stress through the lens of forgiveness and personal accountability. Hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and Dr. Tim Hayes, the show emphasized how stress arises not from external circumstances but from the internal goals we attach to those circumstances. By canceling unnecessary or overwhelming goals, individuals can reclaim their mental and emotional resources, thus reducing stress and enabling higher levels of functioning.Dr. Ryce explored how living in a state of “sympathetic dominance” — a physiological state rooted in fear, hostility, and survival mechanisms — depletes energy and compromises health. He explained that when the mind is overwhelmed by unmanageable goals, it functions like an overloaded computer, unable to process effectively. The hosts shared practical strategies, such as the use of the Reality Management Worksheet and the Mind-Goal Management Sheet, to cancel goals and reduce stress to manageable levels. These tools allow individuals to shift from survival mode into a state of balance and thriving.The episode also addressed the importance of understanding that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook but about removing internal stressors and reclaiming personal resources. The conversation included insights into the connection between stress management, health, and emotional well-being. Dr. Ryce shared examples of how unprocessed stress can manifest as physical illness, highlighting the necessity of addressing mental and emotional patterns for holistic healing.

Listeners were invited to reflect on the cultural norms that perpetuate stress, such as the constant striving to meet external expectations. The hosts encouraged audience members to prioritize self-care, reduce unnecessary stressors, and focus on achievable daily goals. The episode provided a comprehensive perspective on how forgiveness and stress management intersect to foster emotional freedom and physical well-being.

Healing Crisis – https://whyagain.org/easing-through-a-healing-crisis/

The May 8, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, explored a variety of topics centered on the interconnectedness of human behavior, nature, and health. The show highlighted the couple’s weekend journey to a native species preserve, where they encountered the beauty of trillium flowers and reflected on the destructive environmental impact of traditional lawns. Dr. Ryce expressed shock at the juxtaposition of the pristine preserve with adjacent manicured lawns, emphasizing how lawns contribute to ecological harm through excessive water usage, chemical dependence, and the displacement of native species critical to pollinators and biodiversity.

The discussion extended into the cultural brainwashing surrounding the aesthetic of lawns and the environmental costs of conforming to such norms. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to reconsider these practices and embrace native species gardens as a sustainable alternative. The episode also tied these observations to broader themes of personal accountability, urging individuals to examine their roles in contributing to global and local ecosystems.

Additionally, the show addressed the physiological benefits of connecting with nature, highlighting how exposure to green spaces and clean air can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, and promote overall health. This physiological connection was linked to the ancient Aramaic understanding of love as an essential energy that fuels the body and supports healing. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of language and perception, suggesting that words rooted in hostility and fear disrupt this energy, while words grounded in love restore balance and vitality.

The episode concluded with an appeal to embrace a holistic understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world. By integrating ecological responsibility, emotional healing, and love-based practices, individuals can contribute to both personal and planetary well-being.

Jeanie shared coming off of the ‘drugs’ we use to keep from facing the pain, the painful reality is still there to be faced. And if something is ‘in your face’ then you can deal with it. There is an automatic suppress mechanism in us that if we are not vital enough it will not come forth.

The May 10, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio centered on the profound teachings of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, with Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce providing an in-depth exploration of this transformative practice. The episode began by dispelling common misconceptions about forgiveness. Dr. Ryce explained that true forgiveness is not about pardoning others or external events but rather about identifying and removing internal emotional patterns that cause suffering. He emphasized that these patterns are often multigenerational and are stored energetically within our minds and bodies.

Dr. Ryce described forgiveness as the process of collapsing the false realities constructed by our minds—realities shaped by pain, fear, and hostility. This involves identifying the goals that trigger these emotional patterns and canceling them, which allows the underlying energy to surface and dissolve in the presence of love. The hosts underscored the difference between forgiveness and perception, explaining that what we perceive is not objective reality but rather a construct created by our own minds, influenced by unresolved trauma and generational conditioning.

Jeanie Ryce shared personal insights, including her journey through healing and using forgiveness to address deeply embedded emotional patterns. She highlighted the importance of recognizing and working through the generational trauma we inherit, which only arises when we are vital enough to address it. She also discussed the role of conscious choices in shaping our lives and the significance of replacing destructive habits with love-based intentions.

The episode concluded with practical guidance on how to apply forgiveness in daily life. Dr. Ryce introduced the concept of canceling goals as a way to collapse the mind’s projections and access the unconscious mind. This process, he explained, allows for the release of pain and the restoration of joy and vitality. The hosts reiterated that forgiveness is a lifetime process of self-discovery and healing, offering tools and resources, including the Reality Management Worksheet, to support listeners in their journeys.

“What did you see?” the mind creates perception based on content. CIA (https://whyagain.org/images/PDF/CIA_PsychologyOfIntelligenceAnalysis.pdf) has done studies to find what creates the best perception so their agents do their jobs the best they can. They found that we construct reality based on one’s own perception – we do not record what we think we see. “…construct  their  own  version  of  “reality”  on  the  basis of information provided by the senses, but this sensory in-put is mediated by complex mental processes that determine which information is attended to, how it is organized, and the meaning attributed to it. What people perceive, how readily they perceive it, and how they process this information after receiving it are all strongly influenced by past experience, education, cultural values, role requirements, and organizational norms, as well as by the specifics of the information received.” page xxi in introduction of CIA’s Center of the Study of Intelligence, “Psychology of Intelligence Analysis”

Refinement: information that comes in through the 5 senses resonates the content that is already stored in the mind and genes. Interpretation of our own minds.

“What we ‘see’ tells us more about our minds than the world we think we are looking at. Tends to be more a function of power than truth.

Movie “Notebook” quote “We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.” ― Nicholas Sparks

michael discussed what happened in the Book Club yesterday going over chapter 3.

Responsibility for Sight in ACIM – “This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. ²Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies: ³I am responsible for what I see. ⁴I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve. ⁵And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked. ⁶Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. ⁷Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.” (ACIM, T-21.II.2:1-7)

Forgiveness uncovers the unconscious part of the mind. Create Consciously instead of unconsciously.

The mind gives evidence on demand.

Jeanie shared part of chapter 1 from “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, the ‘Voice Inside Your Head’ how to become the thinker apart from the thought, be the observer.

We are in charge of what our own mind does.

The May 12, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio was a profound exploration of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, the nature of perception, and the process of emotional healing. Hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, the show emphasized the transformative potential of understanding how the mind constructs reality. Dr. Ryce discussed how perceptions are not objective truths but interpretations based on our internal emotional states, generational patterns, and unresolved trauma. He highlighted the ancient wisdom that “appearances” are merely mental constructs, inviting listeners to look beyond these illusions to uncover deeper truths.

The conversation delved into the origins and misinterpretations of ancient teachings, particularly how the essence of Aramaic forgiveness was lost over centuries. Dr. Ryce explained that forgiveness, as originally intended, is not about pardoning others but about removing false constructs from the mind that cause suffering. This process allows individuals to collapse their mental projections, uncover hidden emotional patterns, and heal from within.

Jeanie Ryce contributed by sharing tools like the Reality Management Worksheet and the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app, which guide individuals through the process of identifying and canceling harmful goals that perpetuate emotional distress. The hosts encouraged listeners to embrace responsibility for their internal states rather than blaming external circumstances, underscoring the idea that pain is always a reflection of unresolved internal dynamics.

The episode also touched on the interconnectedness of emotional and physical health, with Dr. Ryce explaining how unresolved trauma manifests as physical ailments. By engaging in forgiveness, individuals can not only heal emotionally but also address the energetic imbalances that lead to physical issues. The show concluded with an invitation for listeners to explore these tools, engage in self-reflection, and embrace the journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom.

James Edwin Webb (October 7, 1906 – March 27, 1992) was an American government official who served as Undersecretary of State from 1949 to 1952. He was the second Administrator of NASA from February 14, 1961, to October 7, 1968. Webb led NASA from the beginning of the Kennedy administration through the end of the Johnson administration, thus overseeing each of the critical first crewed missions throughout the Mercury and Gemini programs until days before the launch of the first Apollo mission. He also dealt with the Apollo 1 fire.  In 2002, the Next Generation Space Telescope was renamed the James Webb Space Telescope as a tribute to Webb.

The May 16, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio featured a rich discussion about perception, belief, and forgiveness, with Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce guiding the conversation. They began by emphasizing the idea that inner transformation occurs when we stop seeking external solutions to problems and instead focus inward. Drawing inspiration from Michael Singer’s The Untethered Soul, Jeanie shared excerpts that highlighted how the constant inner voice, fueled by ego, creates endless cycles of problems. The episode emphasized that true peace arises from recognizing and addressing the internal dynamics that make problems seem external.

Dr. Ryce elaborated on how belief systems, often rooted in unresolved generational patterns, shape our perceptions and reactions. He stressed that forgiveness, as understood in its original Aramaic sense, is not about pardoning others but about removing internal constructs that create suffering. He introduced the idea that collapsing false mental constructs through forgiveness can allow love to fill the space, leading to profound personal healing.

The episode also explored the interplay between physiology and belief, explaining how unresolved emotional patterns can manifest as physical ailments. Dr. Ryce encouraged listeners to reflect on their beliefs and goals, using tools like the Reality Management Worksheet to cancel harmful goals and uncover deeper layers of healing. A recurring theme was the importance of personal accountability and self-awareness in creating a life rooted in love and presence.

Listeners were encouraged to embrace forgiveness as a “single-edged sword,” capable of collapsing false realities and liberating individuals from the cycles of pain and fear. The show also featured callers sharing personal breakthroughs, demonstrating the transformative impact of these teachings when applied consistently.

Jeanie read some from chapter 2 of “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, “Your Inner Roommate” – it is inside not outside of you.  michael came on to parallel this to the forgiveness work.

Communication is interaction between two – there are words running in your head right now, who is in there with you?

“I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me.” (ACIM, W-2)

Collapse the internal process in the presence of love and there is a mutation of the patterns.

There is no instant healing to years of internal dialog and insanity of hostility and fear.

Blame game: that what is happening inside of me is someone else’s fault. Was there anyone in your life that used Responsibility Communication instead of Projection Communication? “How did that make you feel?” Should be “When that happened what came up for you?” Forgive means to remove not let yourself or someone else off the hook.

The word (Mind Energy) became flesh. John 1:14

Jeanie read some from chapter 2 of “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, “Your Inner Roommate” – it is inside not outside of you – personify this inner roommate to an outside person and spend the day with them.  michael came on to parallel this to the forgiveness work. EGO edging God (Love) out. The ‘voice or roommate’ takes us away from what we really want.

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” ― Albert Einstein

The “roommate” will convince you to drug yourself to keep from looking inside. Jeanie ‘confessed’ she caught her inner voice trying to convince her to stop and get Starbucks and then arguing with herself that she did not need it.

Caller Joe, said he caught a similar one where his inner voice said “feed the dogs before significant other comes home and sees he did not feed them on time.” Doing a worksheet this morning he saw the roommate saying ‘something is wrong with you, you are a fraud or actor’ Spin-off by the roommate into self doubt. Then wakes up and says that is not true, be the witness of the false evidence appearing real. Choosing the internal compass. Consistently be the witness.

First become conscious of the predicament then commit yourself to your inner work as if your life depended on it – because it does.

Caller Joe, feels things are murky. Feels insecure and thinks his significant other wants to control me. Or does she? Other times it is bliss. michael said denial is when we blame someone or something outside of us for what is going on.

“As the light increases, we see ourselves to be worse than we thought. We are amazed at our former blindness as we see issuing forth from the depths of our heart a whole swarm of shameful feelings, like filthy reptiles crawling from a hidden cave. We never could have believed that we had harboured such things, and we stand aghast as we watch them gradually appear. But we must neither be amazed nor disheartened. We are not worse than we were; on the contrary, we are better. While our faults diminish, the light by which we see them waxes brighter and we are filled with horror. Bear in mind, for your comfort, that we only perceive our malady when the cure begins.” ~ Archbishop François Fénelon

External to the internal is a flip side of a coin. The question is “Is Love active?”  Fruit of compassion, patience, generosity and active love.The May 23, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio focused on the transformative power of self-awareness and forgiveness, with hosts Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce exploring concepts from Michael Singer’s The Untethered Soul. The episode delved into the practice of identifying the “inner roommate”—the incessant mental chatter that reflects unresolved emotional patterns and fears. Dr. Ryce explained how this internal voice creates constructs of pain and suffering and how forgiveness, as originally understood in its Aramaic roots, helps collapse these mental constructs and allows love to emerge as the natural state of being.A central theme of the episode was the question of identity and purpose, explored through exercises like “Who Are You?” and “Why Are You Here?” Jeanie shared a personal reflection on revising her life purpose statement after realizing how her answers shifted when focusing on relationships rather than clinical goals.

The May 24, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio presented a pre-recorded interview with Brooke Siem, author of May Cause Side Effects, a memoir documenting her journey through antidepressant withdrawal. Hosted by Jeanie Ryce, the episode explored Brooke’s experiences navigating the complex and often misunderstood process of coming off psychiatric medications. Brooke shared her personal story, detailing how she was prescribed antidepressants as a teenager after the sudden loss of her father, a decision that fundamentally shaped her life for 15 years.

Brooke emphasized the importance of raising awareness about antidepressant withdrawal and the lack of informed consent provided to patients. She highlighted how withdrawal symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed as a resurgence of mental illness or entirely new psychiatric conditions, leading to further medication and mismanagement. Her memoir sheds light on the physical and emotional struggles of withdrawal, offering a raw and honest perspective to foster better understanding among patients, family members, and healthcare providers.

In the discussion, Brooke also reflected on the systemic issues within psychiatry, such as the lack of tailored care and the tendency to rely on formulaic approaches to medication. She advocated for nuanced, individualized treatment and for greater accountability within the medical community. Drawing from her personal journey, Brooke emphasized the need for self-education and agency in navigating mental health treatment, particularly given the broken nature of current systems.

The episode concluded with insights from Jeanie Ryce, connecting Brooke’s experiences to the broader themes of self-awareness and emotional healing. Jeanie underscored the importance of practices like Aramaic forgiveness and tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet to address the deep-seated emotional patterns that contribute to suffering. Listeners were encouraged to take an active role in their healing journeys, using Brooke’s story as a powerful example of resilience and transformation.

The May 25, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio offered a deep dive into the relationship between perception, energy, and healing. Hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, the discussion highlighted the profound impact of energetic patterns on the body-mind system. Dr. Ryce introduced the concept of integrative and disintegrative energy, explaining how choices rooted in hostility and fear contribute to cellular degradation and disease, while those based in love and presence foster health and wholeness.

Central to the episode was the Aramaic concept of forgiveness, which involves canceling goals that generate distorted perceptions fueled by unresolved emotional patterns. Dr. Ryce emphasized that forgiveness is not about pardoning others but about dismantling the internal constructs that perpetuate suffering. By collapsing false perceptions, individuals open a pathway to access and release deeply embedded generational trauma. This process, he explained, allows the mind to recalibrate toward love, the natural state of human life.

The show also delved into how denial and dissociation obscure the true sources of pain, causing individuals to project unresolved issues onto others. Dr. Ryce illustrated how patterns of blame and judgment perpetuate cycles of dis-ease, while the practice of forgiveness enables individuals to reclaim accountability for their inner states. He shared practical tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet and the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app, inviting listeners to explore these resources for personal transformation.

Dr. Ryce also introduced the concept of “Rukha d’Kudsha,” an Aramaic term for a feminine elemental force within each person, which undoes the effects of errors and guides individuals toward truth. He explained how tapping into this force through forgiveness and active love facilitates profound healing and freedom from generational burdens.

The episode concluded with an invitation to embrace love as the foundational energy of human existence and to commit to the ongoing practice of forgiveness as a means of restoring health, harmony, and connection.

Jeanie shared her experience this week in a healing crisis.

michael added new insights regarding healing and dehydration. And why the blood tests show Mono and yet not active. Energy is ‘passing through’ but not buy into it.  Severely symptomatic but not an ‘active’ case.  Watch what you buy into.

The May 26, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio featured an in-depth exploration of healing crises, emotional patterns, and the transformative practice of Aramaic forgiveness. Hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, the discussion highlighted the concept of a healing crisis as an essential part of the body and mind’s natural process of releasing toxicity and unresolved emotional energy. Dr. Ryce explained that symptoms often resurface as the body gains vitality and prepares to face old patterns, emphasizing that these are opportunities for profound healing rather than signs of disease.

Jeanie shared her personal journey, reflecting on how past trauma and unresolved energy can manifest in physical and emotional symptoms decades later. By addressing these layers through forgiveness, love, and self-awareness, individuals can move through these crises and emerge lighter, more connected to love, and with renewed vitality. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of understanding the body’s processes and supporting them with conscious tools rather than suppressing symptoms, which can delay healing.

The episode also discussed how denial and resistance perpetuate unresolved patterns and block healing. Dr. Ryce explained that forgiveness, in its original Aramaic sense, involves canceling the goals that drive reactive patterns and collapsing false perceptions. This allows individuals to access and dissolve the underlying trauma, freeing them to live more fully in alignment with love. The discussion highlighted the role of the feminine elemental force, Rukha de Kutsha, as a healing presence within each individual, capable of undoing the effects of errors and teaching truth.

Listeners were invited to reflect on their own healing processes and to explore tools like the Reality Management Worksheet for addressing emotional patterns and generational trauma. The hosts also stressed the importance of building vitality through proper nutrition, emotional support, and consistent inner work, as healing at deeper levels requires strength and persistence.

Jeanie read the last of Chapter 3 of “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, “Who Are You?”

Shared Arya saying “Cancel that thought!”

michael shared about Memory (this is Memorial Day, aka Decoration Day)
Thought moves and the mind converts the thoughts to pictures – replicates according to goals what is in you that the out there resonates
Focus on the dead, dying and death is focus on the past and blocks the awareness of their existence.

Thoughts are remnants of bits of generational past, replicated to replace the present. To claim your place as conscious creator there must be thoughts consciously flow through your structure into the world. Assisted by the Breath.

Most important function of Memorial Day is to reconnect with who you are as a human creator (if you haven’t created what you want, remove the part of you that you blame on everyone else and take responsibility for your creation)

“Death is Nothing at All” by Henry Scott-Holland
Scripture says absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Y’Shua said let the dead bury the dead and the blind lead the blind.

The May 29, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio revolved around themes of self-awareness, forgiveness, and the ongoing journey of personal transformation. Hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, the episode began with reflections on Memorial Day, emphasizing remembrance not as a focus on death but as an opportunity to honor life and recognize the eternal essence of those who have passed. Dr. Ryce invited listeners to shift their perspective from mourning the past to embracing the present and the creative potential within each individual.

Drawing from Michael Singer’s The Untethered Soul, the hosts discussed the concept of consciousness as the essence of being. They encouraged listeners to explore the question, “Who am I?” by distinguishing between thoughts, emotions, and the deeper awareness that perceives them. Dr. Ryce highlighted how living in alignment with love, rather than being trapped in fear-based patterns, enables individuals to step into their role as conscious creators.

A significant portion of the episode was devoted to addressing the influence of generational trauma and the “one-world religion of blame.” Dr. Ryce explained how unresolved traumas, stored in carbon-based memory, shape perceptions and create reactive patterns. These patterns, he noted, are often projected onto others, perpetuating cycles of blame and pain. Through the Aramaic practice of forgiveness, individuals can collapse these false realities, remove generational patterns, and reclaim their creative power.

Jeanie Ryce shared personal insights about emotional expression and healing, encouraging listeners to embrace their emotions as part of the process of self-discovery and growth. The episode concluded with a powerful call to action: to remember one’s true essence as a creator, to release blame, and to apply forgiveness as a tool for healing and transformation.

Caller Susan, going through a period of questioning. About her health. She is not herself, did wake-up sheet, concerned, afraid and curious about not having good blood sugar (diabetic) and high blood pressure.  She is getting her work archived in NY.  And the man, Michael, who lives with them is taking over more jobs, instead of moving to an assisted living thinking of having Michael be a caregiver.

She feels she is the observer – who am I? pure consciousness and awareness. Feels she may be ‘leaving’ yet is at peace.  She complimented Jeanie that she allows herself to cry.  MindShifter: “My Power Person always embraced me fully and approved of me especially when I wore my pain on my sleeve.”

Jeanie read the first of Chapter 4 of “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, “The Lucid Self”

michael spoke on mind energy of Love and release the stresses. Sympathetic (survival) or Parasympathetic (relaxed) dominance state. Stay in balance.

Caller Audrey E., goodness and wellness. Shared an experience from when she was small. Imagination – to image in (one of the Spiritual faculties)

An email asked for details on meaning of Love in the Aramaic. Rakhma is a filter over intentions and Khooba is a filter over perceptions – set together is called perfect Love. Love is not a verb but is who we are.

The May 30, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce, focused on the significance of cultivating self-awareness, love, and forgiveness as essential tools for transformation. The hosts reflected on the concept of “bread and circuses,” historically used to distract individuals from self-reflection and inner work. Dr. Ryce emphasized that modern distractions similarly prevent people from focusing inward, perpetuating distorted perceptions fueled by unresolved emotional patterns. By redirecting attention from external chaos to the inner world, individuals can begin to dismantle these patterns and experience clarity and healing.

A key theme of the episode was the role of forgiveness in removing internal disturbances and facilitating connection with one’s true nature as love. Dr. Ryce explained that forgiveness, as understood in its original Aramaic sense, involves canceling goals and collapsing perceptions rooted in fear or hostility. This practice clears the mental noise created by past experiences and allows love to emerge as the guiding energy. He also highlighted how forgiveness impacts physiology, noting that a shift from survival mode (sympathetic dominance) to trust and rest (parasympathetic dominance) enables the body to function optimally, supporting digestion, immunity, and overall well-being.

The episode also introduced the concept of “Rachma,” an Aramaic term describing a filter in the brain’s frontal lobes that governs intentions. When Rachma is active, intentions and perceptions align with love, while its absence allows fear and hostility to dominate. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of activating this filter through forgiveness and intentional love-based practices, enabling individuals to become conscious creators of their realities.

The discussion was enriched by a caller’s personal story about using imagination and intuition to manifest positive outcomes, illustrating the power of these spiritual faculties. The hosts connected this to the teachings of Yeshua, emphasizing the importance of cultivating love and releasing generational patterns of pain and trauma.

The episode concluded with a call for listeners to actively engage with forgiveness, self-reflection, and the daily practice of connecting with love. By doing so, they can dismantle the energetic patterns that distort perception, reclaim their natural state of being, and create meaningful lives rooted in love and awareness.

The May 31, 2023, episode of MindShifters Radio explored themes of awakening, forgiveness, and overcoming generational trauma, hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce. The discussion began with a reflection on the cultural resistance to awareness, particularly in the context of societal injustices and systemic conditioning. Dr. Ryce emphasized the importance of “waking up” to the interconnectedness of humanity and dismantling the illusion of separation perpetuated by fear and ego. He highlighted Einstein’s observation that separation is an “optical delusion,” urging listeners to embrace the oneness of life and the presence of love as the foundation of their existence.The episode delved into the practice of forgiveness, rooted in its Aramaic origins, as a means of removing distorted perceptions and healing deep-seated emotional patterns. Dr. Ryce explained that forgiveness involves canceling the goals that drive projections and create suffering, allowing individuals to access the truth of the present moment. He also discussed the concept of “Rakhma,” a filter in the brain’s frontal lobes that governs intentions. When Rakhma is active, it enables love to flow freely, whereas fear and hostility block this process. This practice of forgiveness not only restores one’s connection to love but also resolves generational patterns of trauma.A recurring theme in the episode was the relationship between internal healing and the physiological effects of unresolved emotions. Dr. Ryce explained how survival-based thought patterns and unresolved trauma disrupt the body’s natural functioning, shifting energy from higher brain functions to survival mechanisms. By engaging in forgiveness and cultivating love, individuals can reverse these effects and restore balance to their bodies and minds.The hosts shared stories and examples from callers, including one individual processing the pain of feeling “not enough” and struggling to fix generational wounds. Dr. Ryce provided guidance on using forgiveness tools and responsibility communication to navigate these challenges and emphasized that healing is a process of rediscovering and reclaiming one’s true identity as love. The episode concluded with a powerful message of hope, encouraging listeners to embrace their roles as conscious creators and to continue the courageous work of transformation.YouTube https://youtu.be/r7oS6pKdE_M
