Tim then returned to reading from Guy Finley’s new book, highlighting the theme of life as an inner journey. He stressed that many people expect external adventures or changes to alter their inner life, but real transformation only comes by journeying inward, into the heart of one’s being, where unity with all creation is rediscovered. He drew on quotes from the Upanishads, Rumi, and Whitman to show that this understanding of wholeness and connection has been a universal teaching across cultures. He reminded listeners that once one sees truth, the mind cannot go back to its old state, because truth alters perception permanently.

The show also included a story illustrating the power of stepping “out of yourself.” Tim explained that healing requires going beyond the conscious mind and letting go of identification with anger, blame, and the illusion of separation. He emphasized that every problem is created by the mind’s labeling, and that stepping into wholeness dissolves the sense of enemies or disasters. He urged listeners to ask in every situation, “How can I be a blessing to myself or others in this moment?”—a question that shifts awareness away from judgment and toward connection.

The discussion moved into community and validation in the healing process. Susan and Carrie shared about the need for connection and validation, especially when working through grief and anger. Tim acknowledged that while the adult self does not need outside validation, younger wounded parts often do, and it is crucial for individuals to provide that validation to themselves. He clarified that healing happens when those wounded parts receive compassion directly from within, rather than relying solely on external approval. The conversation highlighted the balance between community support and the personal responsibility of doing the inner work. Tim closed by reminding everyone that our essence is Love, that we come from Love, and that everything else is false.

October 1, 2025 2^nd hour opened with Michael Ryce sharing updates about his family and then turning to questions he had received about the concept of hell. He explained that hell is not a place somewhere else but a state of mind, a condition of separation from Love. In Aramaic understanding, hell simply means being disconnected from the active presence of Love, but Greek and later English translations distorted this into imagery of eternal torment. He traced how Hebrew terms like Sheol (the abode of the dead), Greek Hades (the underworld), and Aramaic Gehenna (a burning trash pit outside Jerusalem) were conflated into the English word “hell.” Over centuries, writers and church authorities—especially Dante with his vivid imagery—layered punishment and torment onto what originally was a metaphor for disconnection.

Ryce explained that this misinterpretation led to a fear-based theology in which forgiveness was redefined as pardoning others rather than removing one’s own hostility and fear. He emphasized that the Aramaic word for forgiveness means “to cancel,” referring to collapsing a painful construct of the mind by canceling the goal driving it. He illustrated how denial—thinking that someone else causes what I feel—locks trauma into tissue by cutting off the breath. By contrast, consciously breathing into the trauma allows Love to dissolve it. He equated breath to heat with water: add heat and water becomes steam; remove it and water freezes. Likewise, breath applied to trauma dissolves it, while holding the breath locks it into the body. He reframed the so-called “unforgivable sin” as nothing more than the denial of breath, which keeps trauma unresolved.

The show then explored heaven as the opposite of hell—not an afterlife reward but a present physiological state of connection to Love. Ryce tied this to the Beatitudes, pointing out mistranslations such as “blessed are the poor in spirit,” which actually meant those who have their home in the Creator’s eternal breath. He explained that each Beatitude is an instruction with a result, guiding people toward reestablishing their connection to Love and their inner Holy of Holies. He clarified that Yeshua never said “forgive your brother,” but rather “forgive as to your brother,” meaning that what needs forgiveness is not the other person but the painful energy within oneself that was resonated by the encounter.

Ryce concluded by encouraging listeners to practice forgiveness worksheets and StillPoint Breathing to consistently remove generational overlays of hostility and fear. He reminded the audience that pain is always a signal of an energy that does not belong in us, and that with breath and forgiveness, these energies can be dissolved. Living in heaven, he said, means living here and now in conscious connection with Love, carrying breath into every cell, and reclaiming the birthright of being a true human in the likeness of the Creator.

Tim then spoke about Roger McFillin’s Radically Genuine podcast, particularly episode 203, which featured Roman Wyden, author of ADHD is Over. They explored the myths surrounding ADHD and the pharmaceutical industry’s push to medicate children. Tim highlighted how six million children in the U.S. are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, while the root causes of their struggles—such as creativity, high sensitivity, or mismatched educational environments—are often ignored. He reflected on the cultural conditioning that teaches children to seek solutions through drugs, rather than through understanding, support, and healthier approaches to learning and self-expression.

The discussion transitioned into Tim’s ongoing reading of Guy Finley’s book The Book of One: One Love, One Life, One Journey. In this segment, Finley explored the true nature of strength, explaining that real strength is not found in wealth, power, or physical dominance, but in aligning oneself with higher energies and acknowledging human weakness as an opening for divine strength. Tim connected this to teachings from Emerson, Leonard Cohen, and other sages, noting that “there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” He emphasized that judging or despising oneself for weakness is counterproductive, and that self-criticism often disguises weakness as strength. True transformation comes from surrender, humility, and inviting Love to move through us.

Listeners joined the conversation, with Sally sharing her own breakthrough in choosing self-care over people-pleasing. She described how declining an invitation to a family gathering allowed her to honor her needs without guilt. Tim affirmed this, explaining that doing what is truly best for oneself ultimately serves everyone, even if others may not immediately see it. He reminded listeners that overextending oneself in the name of pleasing others drains energy and perpetuates destructive patterns. Closing the program, Tim reinforced the central affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we actually are Love, and everything else is false”.

October 2, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by dr michael ryce unfolded as an intimate and dynamic conversation around healing, breathwork, and community. Jeanie opened the program by updating listeners on materials now available through the website and YouTube, including the “Formula for Living and Being” and the “Aramaic Blueprint for Living as Love.” These resources were highlighted as foundational tools for deepening one’s work in forgiveness and self-healing.

As the discussion moved forward, Kerry and other participants shared personal experiences of grief, fear, and healing breakthroughs. Michael Ryce emphasized that language reveals what is active in the brain and encouraged paying attention to subtle indicators, such as hidden fear language, that may be surfacing as new layers of vitality emerge. He suggested using worksheets and breathwork preemptively to clear energies before they intensify, reminding listeners that “we never speak a word that is not firing brain cells.”

The conversation expanded into alternative healing modalities such as tapping, QNRT, cymatics, and homeopathy. Michael affirmed that any tool that removes blocked energy can be valuable, while still emphasizing that forgiveness—understood as removal—is at the heart of true healing. He reiterated that breath is the master solvent, explaining that without breathing, healing is not possible. A major thread of the hour focused on StillPoint Breathing, with Michael describing the monthly StillPoint community gatherings, the use of MindShifters to stir issues, and the supportive environment that allows participants to process, release, and breathe through hidden trauma.

Listeners shared how body memories, such as near-drowning or past abuse, can surface during breathwork, and Michael guided them toward facing these patterns directly. He described the subtler states of breathing that open access to the “Holy of Holies” within, emphasizing that connectedness, not force, is the key. He tied this to Max Planck’s insights on matter as energy shaped by intelligent mind, linking physics with the spiritual principle that the Creator’s breath is the sustaining force behind healing and transformation.

The show closed with Melissa sharing powerful testimony about using ortho-bionomy on her arm pain, which opened a floodgate of unresolved memories spanning nearly forty years. Through writing and forgiveness work, she described experiencing both intense physical pain and profound emotional relief, illustrating how the body guides one toward healing when the veil between unconscious and conscious patterns is lifted. Michael affirmed that such openings are evidence of the temple—the body—releasing generational trauma and allowing Spirit’s breath to do its work.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research, about atoms, this much: there is no matter as such. ALL MATTER ORIGINATES AND EXISTS only by virtue of a force, which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious (or, sadly, unconscious replicate mind) and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”

The discussion began when a listener brought up an Eckhart Tolle quote: “Any negativity is a manipulation to get what you want.” Dr. Hayes reflected that while he didn’t recall Tolle saying this directly, the statement makes sense in that negativity often arises from dissatisfaction—a desire for life to be different than it is. This led to an exploration of gossip versus genuine processing. The caller described family conversations about an addicted relative and questioned whether such discussions counted as gossip. Dr. Hayes clarified that the defining factor is emotional energy—if the discussion involves agitation, judgment, or hostility, it leans toward gossip; if it is calm, observational, and aimed at healing or clarity, it is healthy processing. He emphasized that conversations about logistics or family responsibilities are best postponed until after emotional upsets have been dismantled with tools like breathwork, tapping, or worksheets.

The theme deepened into emotional regulation and codependence. Dr. Hayes noted that when people remain in upset, communication becomes circular and unproductive. He advised that anyone feeling emotionally charged should pause, breathe, and dismantle their triggers before continuing a dialogue. When the caller expressed frustration about family members refusing to use tools, Tim pointed out that self-responsibility is key: one cannot change others, only oneself. He used the principle from his “Bottom Line Observations”—that after decades of trying, he realized, “I can’t make anyone do anything they don’t want to do.”

From there, Tim dismantled a common misunderstanding of helping others. He explained that offering advice while one’s own life is in chaos is a subtle form of avoidance—a way to feel in control or to distract oneself from one’s own pain. Genuine help arises not from fixing others, but from embodying the principles of healing. When we live as Love, others may be inspired by our example, but their change remains their choice. As he said, “I don’t fix anyone. I do what I do, and some people use it to heal their lives. That’s their choice.”

The episode then moved to canceling goals as the core of Aramaic forgiveness. The caller confessed difficulty letting go of the “wish or want to change anything.” Dr. Hayes clarified that canceling goals is not passive resignation but the removal of distortion from perception. When goals are canceled, the mind’s lens clears, allowing one to see situations accurately and respond from Love instead of fear. He illustrated that Michael Ryce, Guy Finley, and Diedrich Wolzak—teachers of similar principles—are all highly active people, showing that goal-canceling leads to clearer, more effective action, not apathy.

In the second half, a participant named Cami shared a powerful testimony from the previous night’s support group. She described how Dr. Hayes’ facilitation had opened deep emotional memories, bringing her to a breakthrough: she realized that many of her lifelong behaviors were rooted in trauma from being beaten by her biological father at age thirteen. Through visualization and breathwork, she connected compassionately with her younger self and released guilt and self-blame that had haunted her for decades. As she shared, physical sensations—pulsing in her head, tension releasing—confirmed the body’s role in transformation. Dr. Hayes guided her to continue breathing, staying connected to her inner child, and affirming the truth: “I’m not that helpless little girl anymore.”

Cami’s closing realization—“None of it was my fault”—captured the heart of the program’s message. Dr. Hayes reinforced that liberation comes when one reclaims agency, softens the body, and opens to direct experience rather than mental analysis. He encouraged her to practice divine ignorance, staying humble before the mystery of healing, and to remember that each of us is doing the best we can with the resources we have. The episode ended with his reminder that we come from Love, are made of Love, and everything else is false.

October 3, 2025 2^nd hour began with Jeanie sharing a personal story about a fall she had that morning, which led to Michael Ryce working with her through energy and breath. She described the experience of seeing a small man climbing her spine during the session, a visual that symbolized healing energy moving through her body. This flowed into a broader conversation about the resources available on their website and YouTube channel, including short videos and teachings on the “Formula for Living and Being”.

Jeanie was asked about her “Women Healing Women” intensives, which she explained are modeled on the “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?!” nine-day workshop but adapted for women-only settings. She described powerful moments from past intensives, including ceremonies where women wrote letters to unborn or lost children, burned them, and released the ashes into the ocean, often accompanied by profound synchronicities in nature. She emphasized that these intensives created safe spaces for women to process trauma, grief, and relational issues. Michael Ryce highlighted that Jeanie’s forthcoming book, Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, will be groundbreaking because it uses Yeshua’s original Aramaic forgiveness tools to work through the raw, generational trauma women have faced, something no book has yet fully addressed.

Jeanie shared openly about her own past, including childhood abuse, early marriage at sixteen, and sexual trauma, explaining how forgiveness worksheets helped her dismantle false beliefs such as “I am used goods” or “I am lost.” The book includes these distorted self-definitions, followed by worksheets that demonstrate how to transform them into truth and healing. She connected her personal healing to a larger cultural narrative, linking her own story to Native American trauma and modern human trafficking, framing the work as both personal and generational healing. Michael affirmed the significance of her courage in exposing such raw material and noted how exposure itself can hold perpetrators accountable without hatred or revenge.

The conversation then shifted toward intuitive development and nontraditional ways of receiving information. Michael shared the story of a blind boy who uses echolocation to “see,” connecting it to how humans can learn to perceive beyond the five senses. He tied this to the work of aligning the human energy system—the body as antenna—with the mind of Christ, emphasizing that true healing requires opening to direct revelation rather than relying solely on past data. Melissa and Terry contributed with testimonies and questions about worksheets, grief, and desire. Michael explained the importance of distinguishing between bypassing with “they did the best they could” versus truly facing unconscious rage, grief, or hatred. He also clarified how desire functions: it is not inherently lack, but when goals are aligned with Being and cleansed of false beliefs, they can guide one into action that produces results.

The program closed with encouragement for listeners to engage deeply with forgiveness work, power-person worksheets, and StillPoint Breathing as ways to free themselves from generational trauma, step into abundance, and reclaim their true nature as Love.

Tim then discussed a recent Deep Dive podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin and Stephanie Chevrier, creator of the Instagram account Live.Deathless. Their work explores scientific research on consciousness and near-death experiences, connecting spirituality with evidence-based science. Tim referenced The Awakened Brain by Lisa Miller, describing it as part of a growing body of research validating spirituality as a legitimate aspect of human well-being. He expressed gratitude that science is beginning to confirm what ancient spiritual traditions have always taught—that consciousness is more than brain activity and that awareness itself connects humanity to the creative field of life.

The conversation deepened into the mystery of consciousness. Tim noted that even leading scientists admit they do not understand what consciousness is, acknowledging that awareness might be the most fundamental aspect of existence. This recognition led him to reflect on The Way of Mastery, which teaches that intellect is not meant to be the human user interface with life. The intellect is merely a tool to be picked up and set aside when appropriate, while the awakened heart—the center of Love and awareness—is meant to guide human experience. Living in divine ignorance, or open receptivity, keeps the brain in an alert and creative state, which modern brain scans have confirmed. He described studies showing that when people are asked questions and remain curious, their neural activity is high, but it drops dramatically when they believe they “know” the answer.

Tim used this to illustrate a key principle of healing and learning: that certainty often blocks growth. He explained that when people stay in a questioning, childlike state—asking to be shown rather than trying to figure things out—their brains remain alive and open to revelation. Conversely, fear and anxiety trigger the fight-or-flight response, reducing blood flow to the brain and limiting perception. Ryce often teaches that the mind’s false solution is “I’m going to figure it out,” when the real invitation is to be shown by the higher mind or Rukha d’Koodsha (the Holy Breath). Tim related this to ADHD and evolution, suggesting that what modern psychiatry pathologizes as hyperactivity may have once been advantageous traits in hunter-gatherer societies—high alertness, rapid perception, and readiness for action. He cited Tom Hartman’s book A Hunter in a Farmer’s World as evidence of the need to reframe so-called disorders as variations in human adaptation.

From there, Dr. Hayes discussed another McFillin podcast—Episode 202, “The Session That Made Me Question Everything I Know About Healing.” He drew parallels between McFillin’s awakening and Eben Alexander’s near-death experience, noting that both men moved from scientific skepticism to profound awareness of consciousness beyond the brain. This realization underscored Tim’s central theme: life is practical spirituality. Quoting Michael Singer and Guy Finley, he explained that true spirituality is not abstract but deeply practical—every experience, even painful ones, can become a path to awakening if approached with openness rather than judgment. He quoted The Way of Mastery: “The way is easy and without effort,” meaning that when we stop resisting life, healing unfolds naturally.

The show concluded with readings from Guy Finley’s The Book of One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the power of solitude. Finley wrote that loneliness is not the inevitable result of being alone; rather, solitude allows for communion between the true self within and the divine above. Tim connected this to Aramaic teachings on consciousness and Ryce’s concept of the 9-bit mind—the idea that the human mind filters out nearly all of reality, seeing only fragments through memory. He emphasized that silence and solitude help reveal the unseen darkness within us, not as evil, but as undiscovered potential. When we shine awareness (light) on these areas, new consciousness and freedom emerge. Tim summarized Finley’s wisdom poetically: “As goes my attention, so comes my experience.” We co-create our reality by choosing where to place our conscious awareness in each moment.

Dr. Hayes closed by encouraging listeners to download Dr. Ryce’s Secondary Purpose Worksheet from WhyAgain.org to clarify their life’s purpose and align it with Love. He reminded everyone that when we cancel judgment, we dissolve the thought errors that produce suffering. As A Course in Miracles states, “The upset that you experience will persist only as long as the thought that gave rise to it is cherished.”

October 6, 2025 2nd hour hosted by Michael Ryce describing new inspiration that came through a night of StillPoint breathing. Ryce shared that in the early morning hours, during deep breathwork, he received clear guidance to change the title and focus of his Intuitive Development Intensive to Intuitive Development: Freeing Yourself from Perception. He explained that true intuition arises only when the mind is cleared of the noise of carbon-based memory—what he called the addiction to dramas, traumas, and stories. When the mind quiets, a clean and open space forms for what ancient teachings called the mind of Christ—a direct interface with the living field of Creation. Forgiveness, he said, is the essential tool for collapsing the clutter of memory and allowing live inspiration to enter.

Ryce discussed the 9-bit mind model, referencing Harvard research showing that out of 10,000 brain cells firing, only about nine bits of data reach conscious awareness. The point, he said, is that most of what people think they know is filtered through stored past experience rather than the actuality of creation. He linked this to the number 666—symbolically representing the carbon atom with six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons—suggesting that the mark of the beast is the dominance of carbon-based memory over the living mind of Christ. The goal of forgiveness is not to destroy memory but to put it in its place, creating space for revelation instead of repetitive projections. When carbon-based memory dominates perception, people mistake stored pain for external truth, producing emotional reactions and distorted experiences. Through breath, awareness, and forgiveness, these distortions are dissolved and the individual reconnects to love’s flow.

Ryce then transitioned into a deep teaching on the Aramaic foundations of Yeshua’s words, contrasting them with Greek and Latin distortions. He explained that in Aramaic, the first Beatitude does not say “blessed are the poor in spirit,” but rather, “you who have a home in the eternal forces from the Creator”—referring to the breath as the direct link to God. He described how the Aramaic worldview was experiential and embodied, unlike the Greek tendency toward abstraction and dualism. The Aramaic term Rukha d’Koodsha—later mistranslated as “Holy Spirit”—originally meant the sacred breath, the feminine elemental force that undoes error and opens the mind to revelation. Similarly, sin simply meant “missing the mark,” and evil meant missing the target entirely. Forgiveness (shebag) was not pardon or absolution, but the literal release of inner hostility, fear, and grief that block Love’s presence.

He traced how Greek and Latin interpretations turned living experiences into doctrines—spirit into disembodied theory, forgiveness into legal pardon, and heaven (Malkutha) into a place rather than a state of conscious unity. The Latin Vulgate added layers of guilt through the phrase mea culpa (“my guilt”), shifting spirituality from healing to punishment. Ryce explained that in Old English and Germanic translations, sin became a crime and salvation became rescue from punishment, but in Aramaic truth, salvation was given with the first breath—human life itself. The real question is whether one can keep that salvation by remaining aligned with breath, love, and presence. The return to this living awareness, he said, is the core of the work—undoing two millennia of theological distortion to reclaim direct contact with Love as breath, life, and Being.

The second half of the show featured dialogue between Ryce and listeners, including Kerry, who reflected on the realization that healing is not something done to us but through us. She spoke of recognizing that all divine energies, including what people call archangels, are facets of the self. Ryce affirmed this, explaining that Rukha d’Koodsha—not Holy Spirit as external force—is the breath of the Creator within us. He also addressed A Course in Miracles, noting that much of its language was filtered through unhealthy Western speech patterns, but that the phrase Holy Spirit could be re-understood as the Creator’s breath bridging separation. He stressed humility, recalling Yeshua’s teaching that he who thought it not robbery to be equal with God still remained humble. To live guided by Rukha requires surrender, not egoic control. As he put it, maybe rather than being a leader, the real work is being a follower of Rukha.

Ryce read the Aramaic renderings of the Beatitudes, describing each as an activation of neural structures planted by the Creator to guide humanity toward well-being. Each one begins with Touveyhoun: you who awaken the latent guidance within reminding listeners that true happiness and peace arise from aligning with the breath of Love flowing through every cell. The show closed with a blessing and the reminder that heaven is not a reward but a present-moment experience of Love embodied and breathed into Being.

Tim then shared insights from an Alan Watts talk titled Spiritually Awake People Quit These Seven Things Slowly. He described Watts’ view that true awakening involves letting go of the compulsive need for approval, the craving to be special, and the addiction to certainty or control. As consciousness matures, one begins to live in what Watts and The Way of Mastery call “divine ignorance”—a state of wonder and humility where one is led by inspiration rather than intellect. Tim linked this to Yeshua’s Aramaic teaching about “becoming as little children,” meaning to return to innocence and openness rather than fear and judgment. He noted that awakening is not about achieving perfection, but about unlearning what blocks the awareness of Love’s presence.

Continuing his series on Guy Finley’s The Book of One Life, One Love, One Journey, Tim reflected on the chapter Cultivate Your Soul, which teaches that the human being is a seed of divine potential. Like a garden, the soul requires patience, attention, and self-honesty to grow. He compared this to Ryce’s Aramaic concept of Rukha d’Koodsha—the breath or life force of the Creator—implanted within every person to guide them home to Love. The next chapter, Wholeness Realized: Your Place in the Great Cosmic Web, expanded this idea of divine unity, reminding listeners that “in God we live, move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Tim reflected on how both physics and spirituality affirm this truth: we are literally made of stardust, interwoven with all creation. Recognizing this dissolves separation and reveals the harmony underlying all events—a process Ryce calls “divine coordination.”

Later, Tim read from Finley’s Be the Change: Heal the World from Within, which explained that external conflict mirrors internal division. Every act of judgment, anger, or blame feeds the world’s chaos, while forgiveness dissolves that energy at its source. Quoting Vivekananda, Tim said, “Every time you resist hatred, you convert it into higher power.” He linked this to Ryce’s understanding of forgiveness as *removal*—not pardon or excuse, but the literal dissolving of energetic patterns of hostility and fear. The same truth, he said, appears in all wisdom traditions: peace is not found by controlling life but by surrendering to Love in the present moment.

In closing, Tim tied together Watts’ and Finley’s messages, reminding listeners that the path of awakening is both ancient and practical. Living in curiosity instead of certainty keeps the brain open to inspiration. Releasing judgment and fear restores the flow of Love. And forgiveness, practiced daily, heals the mind’s illusions of separation. He ended the hour with the show’s signature affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 7, 2025 2^nd hour centered on Dr. Michael Ryce’s deep exploration of the Power Person Worksheet and the concept of pseudo-solutions—the false strategies the non-being mind invents to survive stress and unmet goals. Jeanie opened by mentioning her ongoing work to publish her upcoming book, Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, while Susan, Andrea, and Terry joined the conversation as part of the Codependence to Interdependence self-study group. Ryce explained that this phase of the program focuses on identifying and dismantling the pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind—fifteen habitual thought patterns that masquerade as ways to cope but actually block access to the experience of Love.

Ryce systematically outlined each pseudo-solution. The first was the drive to “figure it out,” which forces a person to abandon Being and live in analytical overdrive. Others included fighting to win, pleasing or fixing others, controlling or perfecting, seeking love from others, consuming or acquiring to fill inner emptiness, projecting blame, distracting or confusing, escaping through busyness or addiction, and giving up in hopelessness. He emphasized that each one leads to becoming a “non-human”—a being disconnected from Love’s essence. These constructs, he said, come from carbon-based memory masquerading as mind, repeating data from the past rather than drawing from present inspiration. The purpose of the worksheet is to uncover these distortions and restore alignment with Being through forgiveness and breath awareness.

Terry Bowling shared a moving exercise he developed while working through the Power Person Worksheet. He compared each pseudo-solution to his parents’ behaviors, rating which parent modeled each one. His father, a violent alcoholic, and his mother, who suppressed her rage under a veneer of control and perfectionism, both demonstrated the same dysfunctions in different ways. Terry recognized that he had internalized both patterns, describing them as “matching bags of garbage.” He recounted how, as a child, he coped by escaping through books like Chippy Chipmunk’s Vacation, where he could imagine safety and freedom. Ryce gently noted how even that coping mechanism, though creative, revealed the tragedy of a child needing to flee reality to feel safe.

As Terry continued, he saw how he had adopted his parents’ behaviors in adult life—raging at unfairness, striving for perfection, or giving up in despair when things didn’t go as planned. Ryce explained that this is the essence of the Power Person dynamic: the automatic replication of behaviors from one’s authority figures under stress. He summarized that this dynamic is installed through three conditions—when a child perceives that (1) the power person has more control over their life than they do, (2) that power person is not functioning as Love, and (3) the child experiences the situation as survival. Under those conditions, the child absorbs the parent’s emotional energies into their unconscious. For the rest of life, when stress arises, those energies reactivate, producing three predictable behaviors: doing what one did to get along, doing what one did to resist, or doing what the power person did that one hated most.

Ryce called this the hidden engine behind most human suffering and even global conflict, noting that until the unconscious becomes conscious, it will “direct our lives and we will call it fate.” The only way to dissolve it is through forgiveness—not pardoning, but removal. The tool Yeshua gave 2,000 years ago, Ryce reminded listeners, was designed precisely for this purpose: to access unconscious pain “in the heart” and remove it. He expressed awe that such a process existed millennia ago and remained hidden by later theological distortions that replaced self-healing with externalized religion.

Listener Celinda shared her reflections on healing after cataract surgery, describing how her newly clear physical vision mirrored a spiritual one—she was now “seeing life as it is for the first time.” Ryce affirmed this as a living metaphor for the removal of perceptual “films” caused by unresolved fear and hostility. Susan then joined, echoing Carl Jung’s insight about integrating the shadow, and Ryce encouraged her to reframe “beating yourself up” into “being loving and gentle with yourself.” The discussion closed with Ryce inviting participants to the following night’s class, where he would guide Susan through the Power Person Worksheet, beginning with the declaration, “I, who am Love.” He reminded listeners that their task is not to fix themselves but to bring Love consciously into the spaces once occupied by pain, so that Being—not memory—can direct life.

Tim discussed the ongoing Codependence to Interdependence intensive facilitated by Susan Flueck, explaining that such deep work stirs up buried emotions. He referenced Ryce’s Power Person Process, which evolved from a one-page worksheet into a comprehensive 19-page exploration of generational and emotional patterns. Whenever someone commits to inner work, Tim explained, the unconscious immediately begins to surface unresolved material, mirroring the way Dr. Ryce describes the “self-initiating movement of mind energy” that starts when one commits to transformation.

The conversation shifted as listener Susan Bingham joined, reflecting on the Alan Watts video Spiritually Awake People Quit These Seven Things Slowly that Tim had discussed earlier in the week. She noted how it affirmed her growing comfort in letting go of unnecessary busyness and self-imposed guilt. Tim linked her insight to Guy Finley’s principle: “All good things come to those for whom the good is all things,” and to the biblical image of “eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” interpreting judgment as the seed of suffering. He reminded listeners that when one assumes the role of judge, one cuts off the flow of Love. True healing, he said, comes from breathing, staying open, and allowing inspiration rather than control to guide action.

Their dialogue deepened into a discussion of shared humanity and compassion. Susan mentioned how Kerry, a member of their group, had modeled genuine presence by sitting with another’s pain without rushing to fix it—an antidote to spiritual bypass. Tim affirmed that this is precisely what the first steps of the Reality Management Worksheet accomplish: helping a person fully feel emotion without judgment, to allow transformation from within. They spoke about echo grief—grief for the suffering of the planet—and Ryce’s teaching that all emotion arises within the self, not from external events. As Tim explained, the key is to “stay home” with one’s feelings, sitting with them in the sunlight of awareness until they transmute into truth.

Another caller, Susan B., shared how political turmoil and social control mirrored the authoritarian dynamics of her childhood. Tim explained that current events often resonate with buried personal trauma, not because the world causes pain, but because it reflects what remains unresolved within. He recalled how, during times of cultural upheaval, clients’ unhealed memories surfaced en masse—demonstrating the mind’s resonance principle at work. He stressed that addressing emotions at the symptom level—through medication or blame—only masks pain; true healing must reach the cause level, where forgiveness dissolves the underlying energy.

As the show concluded, Tim celebrated the growing strength and insight of the community, noting how these daily dialogues weave together wisdom from multiple traditions—Aramaic, Vedanta, and Jungian psychology—into one unified teaching: that all healing arises through awareness, presence, and Love. He closed with the show’s affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 8, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, continued the Codependence to Interdependence self-study series with a deep exploration of pseudo solutions and the Power Person dynamic. Ryce opened by referencing Terry’s recent exercise in which he charted the behaviors of his parents to visualize how different pseudo solutions had shaped his life. The project inspired Ryce to expand the tool into a structured self-assessment system that helps individuals recognize the unconscious force of each pseudo solution, its emotional charge, and where it is stored in the body. He explained that every physiological blockage—like the foot injury he was healing through breathwork—reveals a place where a power person dynamic has been trapped. By consciously directing the breath to those areas, one begins to dissolve the generational energy of submission, fear, and hostility that keeps the mind bound in repetition.

Ryce reflected that most people live and die “into generational oblivion,” never recognizing these inherited emotional patterns. Quoting Carl Jung, he observed that most people will do anything, “no matter how absurd,” to avoid facing their own unresolved fear and pain. This avoidance drives humanity’s collective addiction to pseudo solutions—mechanisms of the “non-being mind” that perpetuate illusion and suffering. The only real cure, he emphasized, is returning to “the conscious, active presence of Love.” Hostility, blame, and control can never heal what is broken. The true path of healing requires commitment to conscious breath, awareness, and forgiveness as removal—the Aramaic process of dissolving false perceptions rather than excusing them.

During the conversation, Terry described his early-life trauma and how dissociation became his survival strategy. He recalled being brutally punished as a child and later arrested seventeen times, never recognizing himself as one of the “bad people” until years into sobriety. Ryce clarified the distinction between dissociation—stepping away from emotional truth through denial—and disassociation—total psychic disconnection from one’s pain and identity. He explained that denial and disassociation create “constructed realities,” illusions the mind substitutes for truth. Healing requires re-association: facing the hidden energy directly through breath and forgiveness until carbon-based memory—the mind of man—temporarily stops, allowing Being to emerge. Ryce compared this to a “near-life experience,” a brief moment when the thinking mind falls silent and pure Life is experienced directly.

Listeners Celinda and Andrea shared their own awakenings. Celinda described profound calm after eye surgery when she asked to feel safe rather than afraid, recognizing that trust and Love had replaced her lifelong hypervigilance. Ryce likened it to rediscovering the nurturing presence of a grandmother—a living embodiment of unconditional Love that mirrors divine salvation “given with the first breath.” Andrea recounted near-death experiences that felt like “near-life initiations,” each one stripping away false layers of ego and bringing her deeper into authenticity. Ryce affirmed that every true forgiveness process functions as a miniature near-life experience: the collapse of the false self and the rebirth of Being. He emphasized that these cycles of death and rebirth are essential to awakening and that deeper layers of pain only surface as one grows strong enough in vitality and Love to face them.

In closing, Ryce and Terry discussed building the new charting tool to help quantify how much power each pseudo solution holds in a person’s life, using a 1–10 scale for both frequency and emotional intensity. Ryce concluded the program with a reflection on W.H. Murray’s words about commitment: that once a person commits fully, “providence moves too.” He read Murray’s passage on boldness and creative power from the Scottish Himalayan Expedition, reminding listeners that transformation begins only when one truly decides. “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it,” he quoted, “for boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” The show closed with Ryce’s affirmation that choosing Love and commitment awakens the healing forces of creation within us.

To make this concept tangible, he recounted a story of a man who was convinced that a scene in the movie Captain Marvel showed the female lead beating a man, stealing his clothes, and taking his motorcycle. When Tim rewatched the scene, none of that occurred—the man’s perception had fabricated events to support his resentment toward modern feminism. Tim used this to show how the mind constructs reality to validate beliefs, especially those rooted in hostility or fear. He reminded listeners that misperceptions like these occur daily and that the path of healing is to question one’s own interpretations rather than blaming external events.

Tim then continued his reading from Guy Finley’s The Book of One Life, One Love, One Journey, focusing on the chapter Inner Sanctuary: Where True Peace Begins. Finley taught that true peace does not come from changing the world but from transforming one’s own heart and mind. Tim connected this with the Aramaic Forgiveness process—using negative emotion as an internal alarm system to return to presence and Love. He quoted Finley’s insight that we cannot make anyone change, not even our children or coworkers, and that our single great responsibility is to “remember our wish to be present.” Peace, Tim said, begins with this commitment to conscious presence and to dissolving inner conflict.

As callers joined the show, a woman named Julia from Bellingham reflected on how the practice of self-observation has brought her peace even amid life’s uncertainty. Tim encouraged her to view “self-destruction” not as harm but as dismantling the false self—tearing down outdated thought structures to make room for truth. They discussed how inner honesty and privacy differ from secrecy: true privacy carries peace, while secrecy carries fear. Another caller related the Captain Marvel story to family struggles, describing a grandson who felt victimized by gender shifts in society. Tim helped her see that projection is universal—what we condemn outside mirrors unresolved material within. Healing occurs when one observes rather than reacts.

The discussion then turned toward compassion and energetic resonance. Tim referenced Liz Gilbert’s story from All the Way to the River about the addict “Rhea,” who protected a struggling family member not out of judgment but to help them avoid further self-destruction. He used this to illustrate how perception and intention determine whether an act stems from Love or fear. Similarly, in Al-Anon, true love does not enable harm but allows others to face their lessons while holding them in compassion. The program closed with Tim’s reflection on Guy Finley’s section “Thrive in Chaos—Be in the World, Not of It.” He reminded listeners that no one escapes life’s challenges, but one’s response—rooted either in gratitude or complaint—creates one’s experience. The invitation, he said, is to live as conscious creators rather than unconscious reactors.

Tim ended with his signature affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 9, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce guiding an in-depth dialogue with Jeanie Ryce and Terry Bowling on the distinctions between dissociation and disassociation, the Power Person dynamic, and the generational healing that unfolds through Aramaic forgiveness. The show opened with Jeanie sharing excitement about her upcoming book Healing Generations One Breath at a Time—its creative process, imagery, and the journey toward publication. Michael affirmed the book’s significance, calling it “a game changer” for exposing hidden truths of emotional and generational healing.

Terry joined to clarify confusion between dissociation and disassociation. Ryce explained that in the context of this work, “disassociation” is discarded altogether; the correct term is dissociation, which occurs whenever one hides truth from oneself by believing that external circumstances cause internal emotions. When a person says, “They made me angry,” the mind constructs a false image showing the other as the cause of pain. This internal lie fragments awareness—dissociating consciousness from truth. Through forgiveness, Ryce explained, the unconscious content hidden through dissociation becomes conscious again. This process fulfills Carl Jung’s observation: “Until the unconscious becomes conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Forgiveness collapses the mental constructs that hold separation in place and reopens connection to Being.

Terry then described a formative childhood event—lending his father $200 at age twelve with the promise of repayment, only to be betrayed and shamed when his father never returned the money. This, Ryce said, installed deep energetic patterns of hopelessness and distrust around money, freezing his capacity to save or feel abundance. Michael guided Terry through identifying the unconscious goals sustaining the pain—wanting his father to be trustworthy, honest, supportive, loving, and honorable. Each goal, he said, created a perceptual filter blocking truth because the mind refused even to imagine these qualities in a father who had failed to embody them. “That’s dissociation,” Ryce said, “when a thought would never enter your mind.” Canceling such goals through forgiveness reclaims the lost fragments of self, releasing stored emotional energy and restoring presence.

From there, Ryce traced how suppression and dissociation distort human perception and theology alike. He revealed that early in his teaching, he had written “deny, suppress, project” on the workshop board, until one day it was revealed to him that the true word was “dissociate.” He connected this realization to the Greek corruption of Aramaic truth. In the Aramaic record, Yeshua did not “breathe on them” as the Greeks wrote, but “breathed them”—infusing them with the direct pulse of the Rukha d’Koodsha, the sacred breath of the Creator. What was lost was not “translation,” Ryce said, but lack of translation. The Greek concept of “Holy Spirit” replaced the living, embodied reality of sacred breath, the very life force through which forgiveness dissolves error. Denying the breath, he explained, became what the Greeks later called “the unforgivable sin”—for the refusal to breathe Love blocks access to divine presence.

The discussion deepened into generational trauma. Terry recounted his grandfather’s horrifying childhood in the segregated South, where he witnessed lynchings before eventually saving a Black man’s life—an act that likely redeemed buried family pain. Ryce helped him see how inherited terror and guilt passed through generations as energetic memory. The healing, he said, requires seeing beyond the “bushel basket” that covers each ancestor’s light, recognizing that beneath trauma lies radiance. By reclaiming his father’s hidden light, Terry could rediscover his own. Ryce linked this to the Beatitudes, explaining that Yeshua’s first teaching was to “make your home in the breath,” to dwell in Rukha, the eternal forces of the Creator, rather than in the head or carbon-based memory.

The show concluded with a live meditation, where Ryce guided listeners to relax the jaw, breathe consciously, and visualize the inner light in every cell expanding outward to connect with others—the living fulfillment of Yeshua’s words, “You are the light of the world.” He taught that every act of breath restores the original creative act of Genesis, illuminating both personal and ancestral darkness. “Each of us,” he said, “is designed to capture and reflect the presence of Love into the world.” Ryce ended with gratitude for the shared commitment of those participating in generational healing, inviting all to “breathe, forgive, and live as the light we were created to be.”

Notes from chatroom:

Tim and listeners discussed an Alan Watts teaching on enlightenment, emphasizing that awakening is not a static state of bliss but an ongoing process of surrender, observation, and release. Watts’ message—that one must “die to the self” to truly live—was compared to Yeshua’s Aramaic idea of dying to the ego’s illusions to awaken to the living presence of Love. Tim and several callers reflected that enlightenment isn’t about escaping darkness but becoming conscious of the unconscious, echoing Carl Jung’s insight that “darkness is just the absence of light.” This led to a conversation about using self-awareness, breath, and forgiveness to observe the “shadow” rather than repress it, turning the ego into a servant rather than a master.

A central story involved a woman who had attended Ryce’s support groups for years without using the worksheet until a moment of deep emotional crisis. When she finally applied it, her distress shifted into laughter and release. Tim highlighted that the worksheet itself has no “magic”; transformation occurs through willingness. Healing, he explained, is never imposed from outside—it arises when one becomes willing to face and forgive what is within. This willingness, he said, is the doorway to divine inspiration and the dissolution of false perception. Every method, from the Quantum StillPoint Breath Process to EFT tapping, only works when the participant opens to Love’s guidance rather than control.

The second half of the show revolved around a caller named Susan, who shared her struggle with sudden, severe hip pain and uncertainty about surgery. Tim and other callers—including Don and Linda—explored how physical conditions often reflect underlying emotional conflicts. Don noted that while structural issues may exist, unresolved emotions can amplify pain or slow healing, referencing The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk and Messages from the Body by Michael J. Lincoln. Susan’s hip pain intensified during the conversation, which Tim gently suggested might indicate emotional resonance. He urged her to investigate not just medical options but also inner resistance and fear, describing how emotional repression suppresses immune function and delays healing.

Linda then shared her own breakthrough with cataract surgery, describing how years of Aramaic forgiveness work helped her release fear and trust her “inner child.” She said that healing came not from control but from surrender—“letting go of the oars and floating downstream.” Her story beautifully reinforced the show’s central message: trust in divine flow rather than fear-based striving. Tim concluded by reminding everyone that spiritual maturity is not about avoiding struggle or “getting it right” but about allowing Love to guide each moment. He closed with the familiar affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 10, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and several regular callers in a deep, experiential dialogue on forgiveness, generational healing, and the reclaiming of the mind’s natural connection to Love. Ryce opened the program by revisiting the insights from the previous day’s discussion with Terry Bowling, who had begun confronting anger long suppressed by childhood vows of “never being like his father.” Ryce observed that such inner vows—“I’ll never get angry,” “I’ll never drink,” “I’ll never be like them”—trap generations in repetition until they are dissolved through awareness and breath. Forgiveness, he reminded listeners, is not about changing another person but reclaiming the denied parts of one’s own Being.

Terry shared that new emotional layers were surfacing—frustration with a worker had triggered familiar family patterns of control and disappointment. Ryce helped him recognize that this was not a regression but progress: he had shifted from unconscious rage to conscious frustration, showing that the buried energy was surfacing for release rather than suppression. Ryce then introduced the idea of “honor” from the Aramaic view of the commandment Honor thy father and thy mother. To honor, he explained, means to bring Love into active expression toward one’s power person—not because they “deserve” it, but because that act heals the inherited hostility in oneself. “To honor,” he said, “is to walk your ancestors home,” describing how conscious Love dissolves the energetic patterns of blame and punishment passed down through generations.

Ryce connected this to Yeshua’s original Aramaic teaching, where Rakhma—compassion from the frontal lobes—serves as the gateway for Love’s entry into human form. Most of the world, he said, lives divorced from this gateway, reacting through the lower brain’s carbon-based memory, the “AI of the mind.” Just as artificial intelligence can fabricate lifelike but false images, so the unhealed mind hallucinates entire worlds to justify its pain. When one believes others cause their feelings, they dissociate from truth, creating a virtual reality of guilt and projection. The healing path, Ryce taught, is to recognize every perception as a mirror of what is held within and to use breath and forgiveness to remove what does not belong.

Later, Sally joined to share how she had been experiencing moments of spontaneous stillness during daily life, what Ryce called a natural linkup to the “mind of Christ.” These brief, smiling moments, she said, brought peace and gratitude, even amid activity. Ryce affirmed this as evidence of the brain’s higher circuitry opening through sustained forgiveness work. He compared her experience to the “StillPoint” process—a moment when breath pauses, thought ceases, and the body floods with the living energy of Love. This, he said, is the beginning of “permanent link-up” with Being, the goal of all inner work.

Belinda then reflected on releasing her perfectionism and the belief that she must “heal everything by herself.” Ryce gently encouraged her to view even excitement as a possible mask for tension and to use the Reality Management Worksheet on moments of joy, not only pain. If one believes that an external event causes happiness, he explained, that too is a lie—because joy, like pain, arises from within. The purpose of forgiveness is to uncover that Love is one’s natural state, constant and causeless. He ended by affirming that each person’s breath is literally shared with the Creator: “Our breath is the breath of God. To live consciously in that is the highest form of healing.”

The program closed with a feeling of reverence and stillness as Ryce and Jeanie thanked listeners for their participation and reminded them that the work of forgiveness is both individual and collective—healing the lineage and restoring humanity to the consciousness of Love.

Listener Susan Bingham joined the conversation, sharing reflections on Dr. Ryce’s teachings about the Lord’s Prayer as a “trap for God” and the idea that the human skull functions like an antenna designed to receive divine frequency. She described her physical challenge with hip pain and her interest in using posture and breathwork, rather than surgery, to realign her energetic system. Tim affirmed that while physical issues may have mechanical causes, emotional or spiritual alignment often plays a crucial role in healing. He emphasized that important medical decisions should arise from calm, centered awareness rather than fear, noting that “life tends to work out better than the conscious mind can figure out.” He reminded listeners that emotional clarity always improves the quality of one’s outcomes.

Susan shared her reflections on aging, humorously describing plans with friends to have hip replacements together, and acknowledged that she has never felt happier or more connected in her life. This led Tim to highlight the importance of approaching life through what The Way of Mastery calls “the awakened heart,” rather than intellect. He explained that every perception based in negative emotion is “off the mark,” and that the practice of forgiveness is the conscious act of releasing those misperceptions. A true master, he said, is a “perpetually avid student” of life—someone who listens to each moment as if it were a teacher. Living this way dissolves judgment and allows life to unfold in divine order.

Later in the program, Shawn joined from his bicycle, describing the joy of listening to the show amid golden autumn leaves—a reflection of the show’s central theme that awakening happens not by seeking extraordinary experiences but through ordinary moments of presence. Tim responded by reading Alan Watts’ piece Seven Things Spiritually Awake People Quit Slowly, a meditation on the gradual release of illusion. The reading traced how awakening unfolds as one quits the hunger for approval, the need to be special, the performance of happiness, the clinging to certainty, the habit of blame, the urge for spiritual bypass, and the illusion of isolation. Each “quitting,” Tim said, is not loss but liberation—the peeling away of what is false until only truth remains.

As he concluded, Tim reflected that awakening is not about becoming someone new but remembering who one truly is beneath the masks. “You are not losing yourself,” he read from Watts, “you are finding yourself.” He drew parallels to Dr. Ryce’s Aramaic teaching that forgiveness is not about pardon but removal—the dissolution of false images the mind constructs in fear. Freedom, he said, arises when one surrenders control and allows life’s current to carry them. Closing with the show’s familiar affirmation, he reminded listeners: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 13, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce, Jeanie Ryce, and callers including Susan, Shawn, and Kayla, in a deeply experiential conversation exploring physical healing, cranial alignment, and the inner mechanics of what Ryce calls the “Mind of Christ.” The discussion opened with Susan’s ongoing hip issue and her reflections on balancing medical and energetic approaches. She shared her doctor’s suggestion of a cortisone shot and her curiosity about what emotional energy might be “stored” in the hip. Dr. Ryce encouraged her to view healing not just as a mechanical fix but as restoring alignment of energy flow—comparing the body to an antenna that must be tuned to receive divine frequencies. He explained that when the mind, emotions, and body are properly aligned, the “lightning strike” of God’s energy can move freely, clearing blocks and restoring health.

Ryce expanded this with an analogy of the Delaware camera, describing how a photograph of an acorn reveals an oak tree because the pattern for the tree already exists within the seed. Likewise, the perfect vibratory pattern for Susan’s hip still exists in her energy field—it may only be overlaid by interference. By using breath and conscious forgiveness, one can remove these overlays and allow regeneration to follow the original divine blueprint. He referenced cases of miraculous healing, such as the medically verified restoration of a hip at Lourdes, as demonstrations of vibratory realignment rather than supernatural intervention. All matter, Ryce reminded listeners, is energy, and energy reorganizes when the conditions are right for Love to flow.

The conversation turned to cranial-sacral therapy, the skull’s sutures as a living antenna, and how the bony structure continuously moves to tune the body to higher frequencies. Ryce explained that alignment—what Yeshua expressed in the Aramaic Lord’s Prayer—is not about pleading to an external deity but about orienting the self to become a “trap for God,” capable of capturing the presence of Love. He described the Lord’s Prayer as a manual for physiological and energetic coherence, where thought, emotion, and breath synchronize into divine receptivity. A newborn, he noted, does this naturally—living fully in the presence of Love until trauma and fear distort the signal.

When Shawn and Kayla joined the conversation, they described their own spontaneous awareness of cranial shifts and inner calm during meditative states. This led Ryce into a profound teaching on the StillPoint process and the physiological “uplink” between the brain’s hemispheres through the corpus callosum—the literal bridge to the Mind of Christ. He explained that the ordinary human mind operates in a limited nine-bit perception loop, based on carbon-based memory (symbolized by 666), while the divine mind, the “actuality,” operates on 20 trillion bits of live information. The shift from the “mind of man” to the “Mind of Christ” is the transition from replication (memory-based perception) to revelation (direct knowing). This process is catalyzed by breath—Rukha d’Koodsha, the shared, living breath of the Creator—which dissolves the energetic distortions of hostility and fear.

The final segment explored how denial and projection keep people trapped in false perception. Ryce explained that when one blames others—saying “you made me mad”—the mind hallucinates a picture of external causation, reinforcing illusion and cutting off awareness of one’s own creative responsibility. Forgiveness, in the Aramaic sense, is the act of canceling the goal that drives a painful perception, collapsing the false image and opening space for divine truth to enter. This, he said, is the difference between the mind of man (Satan) and the Mind of Christ (Love)—one recycles pain, the other reveals truth. He reminded listeners that the denial of the Holy Spirit is not theological but physiological: it is the refusal to breathe. Breath itself, Rukha d’Koodsha, is the power that removes sin (energies off the mark) and restores conscious communion with the Creator.

The episode closed in reverent clarity, with Ryce affirming that Yeshua’s demonstration was never about suffering or sacrifice but about conscious resurrection—showing humanity how to live in alignment with Love, even amid challenge. True healing, he said, is not fixing the body but remembering wholeness.

The central reading comes from Guy Finley’s pre-publication book One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the chapter “Thrive in Chaos.” Finley, like Ryce and Alan Watts, encourages living “in the world but not of it.” Tim and the callers explore how resistance to life’s unfolding events cuts off awareness and keeps the mind trapped in its own distortions. By choosing to stay present, breathe, and soften into experience rather than judging or escaping it, one becomes able to live consciously in alignment with creation’s flow. The conversation extends into reflections on Marcus Aurelius, Emerson, and Rumi, who all affirm that true peace comes not from changing external conditions but from transforming inner perception.

Tim relates Finley’s insights to the Reality Management Worksheet, explaining that it teaches individuals to see their thoughts and judgments as projections rather than facts. What people experience as “problems” are reflections of inner filters—beliefs, expectations, and fears. He also notes Ryce’s concept of “sustained incoherence,” the mind’s habit of repeating failed thought patterns while expecting new results. Through tools like the worksheet or the MindShifter process, one learns to interrupt that cycle and receive insight from the deeper intelligence of Being rather than the logic of the carbon-based memory mind.

The show also explores timeless spiritual teachings: that nothing has the right to remain in the heart or mind without one’s consent; that one’s experience is created by where attention is placed in each new moment; and that true understanding comes only by transcending thought. Quotes from Krishnamurti and Vernon Howard reinforce that mental suffering cannot be resolved by more thinking—it dissolves only through awareness beyond thought. Tim encourages listeners to experiment with simple practices of watching the mind, breathing, and noticing how emotions shift when energy is redirected toward Love.

In dialogue with caller Colleen, the discussion becomes experiential. She describes her growth through the MindShifter process, discovering and forgiving buried power-person dynamics with her father. Her realization—that beliefs are often inherited or unconsciously absorbed—illustrates Ryce’s teaching that unconscious material governs perception until consciously healed. The show closes with reminders that healing is a process of revelation, not intellectual mastery; that time itself is a construct of thought; and that freedom arises when one stops believing the mind’s distortions and remembers that one’s essence is Love.

The main discussion unfolded around Elizabeth Gilbert’s powerful memoir All the Way to the River, which explores addiction, emotional dependency, and love’s distortions. Caller Susan Bingham reflected on how Gilbert’s raw honesty mirrored her own process of recovery from relationship addiction. She read Gilbert’s three self-assessment questions on addictive behavior and shared her recognition of having lived within those patterns. Tim responded with empathy and humor, assuring her that self-awareness and honesty—not perfection—mark genuine healing. He emphasized that each person’s work is their own and that no one’s journey should ever be approached with guilt or defensiveness.

Their dialogue deepened into how the mind confuses love with approval, creating codependent relationships that spiral into pain. Tim referenced Ryce’s Aramaic teaching that when people equate approval with love, they open the door to endless suffering, mistaking fear and craving for connection. He explained that true Love does not seek validation—it is the unchanging energy of Being. Through forgiveness, one can dissolve these distortions and reclaim emotional sovereignty. He linked this to Ryce’s term pagra—the Aramaic word for the energetic entity formed when two or more people come together. A pagra, he said, takes on a life of its own, shaping behavior and emotion beyond conscious awareness unless both partners stay mindful.

Tim then illustrated generational patterning through a story from his post-doctoral family therapy class, where students created genograms mapping ancestral relationships. Each discovered unconscious repetition across generations—such as one woman realizing she was about to become the fifth generation to send away her second-youngest daughter at age twelve. The revelation stunned her, highlighting how unexamined patterns control lives from the shadows. Tim connected this to Ryce’s frequent teaching that unhealed energies persist “unto the third and fourth generation.” Without awareness and forgiveness, the mind continues recycling inherited pain. The path to freedom, he emphasized, is conscious observation, self-responsibility, and the willingness to change one’s part in the pattern.

The episode culminated with a reading of Dr. Ryce’s Commitment—a written declaration to hold Love conscious, active, and present in relationship. Tim explained that this “personal code” functions as a living contract between partners to honor each other with gentleness and respect, even in conflict. He clarified that the personal code is not a test but a living expression of how one chooses to operate in each moment. By practicing these commitments and coaching one another with compassion, couples can shift from reactive “mechanical mind” patterns into co-creative relationship with Love at the center. He closed with the familiar affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 15, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce unfolded as a wide-ranging, deeply practical dialogue blending spirituality, psychology, and economics. The conversation opened with Michael’s appreciation for Jeanie’s tireless work in transcribing and uploading radio shows, study sessions, and YouTube shorts—her commitment making it possible to share this work with a growing audience. Michael mentioned plans for a new book titled Jesus the Christ for Scientists, exploring how Yeshua’s teachings align with science and energy laws, revealing a blueprint for living as Love rather than operating from the inherited, fear-based animal mind.

A caller’s reflection on defensiveness and ego led into a discussion on A Course in Miracles and the lesson that healing arises from “defenselessness.” Michael and the caller explored how the ego sustains itself by generating constant threats that justify its existence. Ryce connected this to the Aramaic understanding of perception as a carbon-based memory construct: the “world” remains as long as the thought that birthed it is cherished. Letting go of even subtle hostility or fear allows entry into the “Holy of Holies” within—the inner sanctuary of Love’s presence. This living temple, he emphasized, exists within every human being and can only be accessed through breath, not through religious dogma.

The conversation then turned toward Shakespeare’s archetype of the Fool as a symbol of innocence and wisdom. The caller described identifying with the Fool—joyful, kind, and humorous, yet deeply aware of the madness of the world. Michael drew from this to emphasize the need to engage the “inner child” with compassion rather than punishment, inviting listeners to reframe their self-talk. He explained that true healing occurs when one brings Love’s awareness to wounded parts of the self, allowing re-integration rather than repression. Breathwork, he reminded, is the direct path to dissolving internal pressure and energetic distortion—what ancient Aramaic teachings called sin, energy “off the mark.” Through conscious breathing, these patterns dissolve, allowing the presence of Love to reoccupy the human temple.

Later, Jeanie read a listener’s YouTube question about “financial peace” and struggles with scarcity. Michael used this as a teaching moment to connect spiritual law with economics. He cited A Course in Miracles: “I am responsible for what I see… I create the goals I experience.” He explained that each person is a creator—drawing from an immense generational database stored in the genes. Poverty, fear, and loss are inherited energetic imprints, passed down through generations, until dissolved through conscious forgiveness. Ryce linked this to his and Jeanie’s book Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, describing how forgiveness cancels goals and releases hidden generational patterns. Through resonance, he said, unhealed energies from ancestors can instantly activate when triggered by modern goals—until canceled through conscious breath and forgiveness.

Caller Terry added that financial distress is becoming a global crisis, reflecting deep psychological and systemic imbalance. Ryce agreed, pointing to ancient Aramaic law, where debts were forgiven every seven years and money was not a source of profit but a means of fair exchange. He criticized modern banking systems for violating divine law, creating “deflation disguised as inflation,” and enslaving generations through interest-based debt. True prosperity, he asserted, cannot emerge from exploitation but only from Love and cooperation. The conversation closed with Michael affirming that collective healing begins by reclaiming one’s identity as Love—breathing life back into the human temple and society itself.

“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)”

Tim then discusses a recent Radically Genuine podcast episode titled Can Faith and Prayer Really Heal You? featuring Dr. Roger McFillin and B.D. Carmichael, author of The Prayer of Freedom. Hayes notes remarkable similarities between Carmichael’s “prayer of release” and the Aramaic Forgiveness process developed by Dr. Ryce. Both approaches invite individuals to let go of attachment to negative energy by consciously placing authority back within the self—recognizing that healing power is innate and divine. Tim highlights that while Carmichael uses traditional Christian language, his process mirrors the Reality Management Worksheet in structure: identifying the perceived cause of suffering, canceling the goal that fuels it, and inviting divine intelligence to do the healing. The emphasis in both is surrender—not to an external savior, but to the inner life force that creates and sustains everything.

Tim emphasizes that healing happens not through dogma but through open inquiry and humble willingness to be taught by life itself. He reflects on the cultural pattern of seeking authority—priests, doctors, or experts—and contrasts it with the ancient Aramaic understanding that no one outside of us holds power we have not given them. Healing begins when we reclaim that authority and acknowledge our direct relationship with the Creative Source. This insight dovetails with the “yes, and…” principle from improvisational theater, which Tim applies spiritually: rather than resisting life’s challenges, we say “yes” to what is and allow Love to guide the next movement. Acceptance, he explains, does not condone pain—it opens the door for transformation.

In dialogue with Susan Bingham, Tim explores the tension between self-honesty and self-destruction, especially in addiction recovery. They examine whether full confession or radical transparency guarantees healing and conclude that the essential honesty must be with oneself, not with others. Susan raises the question of whether an “addict” is ever truly cured, and Tim responds that labels like “addict” hold power only when we remain blind to their energetic roots. Through awareness and forgiveness, even deeply ingrained patterns can dissolve—not necessarily by force but through gentle recognition. When Susan describes her fear of lifelong addiction, Tim reframes vigilance not as punishment but as awareness—the willingness to stay conscious of one’s triggers without condemnation.

The episode culminates with an extended reflection on Alan Watts’ talk “You Are Right on Time,” read aloud by a participant. Watts’ message—that everything unfolds in divine timing and that nothing in life is truly accidental—beautifully complements Ryce’s Aramaic teachings and The Way of Mastery. Both traditions teach that when we stop forcing outcomes and soften into presence, wisdom arises naturally. Tim underscores the key insight: awakening is not about acquiring new information but remembering who we already are—Love in motion. The conversation closes with Tim’s familiar benediction: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 16, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce was both celebratory and profoundly reflective. It opened with updates on Jeanie’s upcoming book, Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, which she confirmed is nearly ready for publication. Jeanie described her process of proofreading and refining it, acknowledging the vulnerability involved in sharing her personal healing journey—particularly experiences of childhood pain and abuse. She expressed hope that her transparency would inspire others to face and release their own guilt and shame. Dr. Ryce commended her courage, calling the book “the first written record of the gritty, inner work of Yeshua,” meaning it captures the practical, experiential core of the Aramaic teachings that many found “too hard to hear.” Together, they discussed plans for printing, distribution, and inviting supporters to share copies as a grassroots movement of healing through Love.

Listener Terry then described his daily practice of completing multiple Reality Management Worksheets and the profound insight he gained while working through discomfort: that his own thoughts were the object of his attention, and that he had been unconsciously assigning them the goal of “making him feel better.” This realization—that the mind tries to use thought to fix emotional pain—led to a major internal shift. Dr. Ryce highlighted this as a perfect example of the subtle forms of self-deception the worksheet exposes. Terry’s later breath session brought deep release, confirming the transformative power of naming and canceling hidden goals.

Another longtime participant, Dusty, joined with gratitude and shared a moving reflection on communion with nature. He described finding peace and renewal in the ocean, surrendering to the “rules of her dance,” where control gives way to flow. This led to a rich exchange about the spiritual intelligence within creation—Dr. Ryce shared how, years earlier, he practiced StillPoint breathing with clients in the ocean, synchronizing the body’s rhythm with the sea. Both men observed that natural elements respond to Love’s presence—whether through pelicans, dolphins, or subtle energy alignment—and that surrendering to the natural rhythm is identical to surrendering to divine flow.

From there, the conversation turned toward eternal life and the illusion of aging. Terry reflected on watching his mother’s passing, describing her as moving between worlds in stillness. This inspired Dr. Ryce to recall a 40-year-old medical study that found “time has no effect on human tissue; it is belief in the effect of time that poisons the body.” He challenged listeners to question cultural conditioning that assumes decay and death are inevitable. Drawing from both physics and scripture, he explained that energy cannot be destroyed—it only changes form. If one remains rooted in Love and refuses to tolerate fear or hostility, the body’s vitality could be continually renewed. The “Holy of Holies,” he said, is not a place but a physiological and spiritual space in the brain where Rakhma—the gateway of Love—flows unimpeded. Accessing it requires purity of heart and forgiveness of every inherited frequency of fear, rage, or grief that has ever “killed anyone in one’s bloodline.”

Dusty and other callers joined in agreement, affirming that true spiritual warriors are those who face their discomfort rather than avoid it. Dusty spoke of nightly meditations where he sends Love backward through his ancestral line, clearing generations of trauma. Celinda added the perspective that parallel lives or “rooms in the Creator’s mansion” may all coexist—each an aspect of the soul’s continuing education in Love. Dr. Ryce and the group resonated with this view, affirming that every life, every frequency of being, is a chance to realize oneness and heal creation itself.

In the closing moments, Terry shared that he had begun rereading Why Is This Happening to Me… AGAIN?! for the fourteenth time, using it alongside the Mind Goal Management Sheet for daily inspiration. He expressed deep gratitude for how the book continues to open new layers of understanding each time. Dr. Ryce reminded him that they had spent a full year reading that book on-air with commentary—another resource for deepening practice. The show closed in Ryce’s characteristic benediction: a reminder that the energy of every thought ripples through creation, and the higher the vibration, the more penetrating its healing effect.

Tim then continued reading from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the chapter Darkness and Light. He reflected on Finley’s teaching that the soul’s growth often begins in difficulty: “darkness is the medium; sorrow is the seed.” From this, he invited listeners to shift perception from “this happened to me” to “this happened for me”, emphasizing the Aramaic insight that every challenge is an opportunity to respond with Love instead of fear or blame. Finley’s exploration of light across spiritual traditions—Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American wisdom—reminded Tim that all sacred teachings converge on the truth that illumination arises within, not from external conditions.

He continued reading the section Be an Instrument in the Great Song, noting Finley’s assertion that every person is “an instrument of the divine.” Tim expanded on this through Dr. Ryce’s teachings, explaining that the same energy that breathes, beats the heart, and looks through our eyes is the essence of God’s Love—the living presence that animates all. This awareness, he said, transforms life from struggle to participation in creation’s ongoing song. He encouraged listeners to experiment by holding this awareness through the day—reminding that when one recognizes “I am an instrument of divine Love,” life becomes lighter and more peaceful.

The discussion then shifted to Finley’s concept of the “daymare”—a waking dream of suffering sustained by unconscious thought. Tim explained that humanity lives much of its life in this “daymare,” believing in separation and victimhood. The real awakening, he said, comes when we realize pain is not caused by outer events but by our own interpretation of them. Quoting Finley and Ryce, he reminded listeners that if one is in pain, the thoughts—not the circumstances—are in error. Awareness itself becomes the act of forgiveness: the mind awakening from illusion to see life as it truly is.

Tim tied this theme to wisdom from Buddha, Marcus Aurelius, and A Course in Miracles, all affirming that life is an inside job. Marcus Aurelius’ words—“It is not the thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it”—paralleled Ryce’s Aramaic principle that “if I am in pain, my thinking is in error.” Tim explained that forgiveness, in this framework, means removing false perception, not pardoning others. When we see pain as feedback revealing our own misalignment, we can reclaim power over our experience and return to Love.

Toward the close, Tim emphasized the importance of humility and curiosity in spiritual growth. Drawing from historians and scientists like Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton, he suggested that openness to new perspectives—whether about human origins or personal identity—cultivates gentleness and self-awareness. He ended by summarizing Finley’s message: that all pain is self-created misperception, and that peace arises naturally when one ceases to defend suffering. He reminded listeners that awakening is not about perfecting behavior but about surrendering to the flow of Love as life itself.

Tim closed the episode with his signature affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 17, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce opened on a personal note as they shared about attending their granddaughter’s fashion show and preparing for a family trip to Florida—a tender reminder of living Love in everyday life. The conversation soon turned toward healing, embodiment, and the nature of consciousness. Regular caller Susan discussed her experience with hip pain, exploring alternatives to surgery and sharing her discovery that movement and muscle activation could help regenerate cartilage—contradicting mainstream medical claims. Jeanie responded by recounting her success with acupuncture and physical therapy after her frozen shoulder, emphasizing that true healing often comes through integrating physical, emotional, and energetic approaches rather than relying solely on mechanical treatments.

Terry then offered a deep reflection on how confusion can actually be a signal of growth. He recalled a moment years earlier at HeartLand when he realized that confusion meant his cherished beliefs were being challenged and reorganized at the level of mind. Rather than resisting it, he learned to welcome confusion as the threshold of new understanding. This insight resurfaced as he studied physicist Donald Hoffman’s work on consciousness, which proposes that space-time itself is a perceptual construct—a “virtual reality headset” created by mind. Terry connected this with Dr. Ryce’s teaching that perception is formed by carbon-based memory, not by direct contact with actuality. When forgiveness dissolves the old perceptual construct, one awakens to true creation rather than endless replication of the past. Ryce affirmed this connection, explaining that Aramaic forgiveness collapses perception, freeing the mind from the limitations of memory so that divine inspiration—the “mind of Christ”—can write freshly on the screen of awareness.

The discussion expanded when Terry referenced Max Planck’s insight that “there is no matter as such,” only energy shaped by intelligence. Ryce unpacked this, saying Planck’s “intelligent force” is what scripture calls mind energy—the living field that holds atoms together. When humanity functions only through the “mind of man,” it can reproduce only the past, but when consciousness shifts into Love’s intelligence, we become true creators. This principle, he said, underlies Yeshua’s Aramaic instruction to activate Rakhma (compassion) and Khooba (love) as filters in the brain—aligning intention and perception so that only Love can enter awareness. Together, these filters form “perfect Love,” which literally gates out hostility and fear, preventing them from manifesting as false realities.

Terry noticed an old diagram from the “Getting the Stress You Need” workshop that included the word “makes” in the phrase “perfect love… acting together (makes) fear,” and asked about it. Ryce admitted that the word was likely a 25-year-old error, now ready to be removed. He explained that Rakhma and Khooba together don’t make fear—they cast it out. This exchange illustrated the living, evolving nature of his work: understanding deepens over decades as awareness refines. Ryce elaborated that the diagram’s upper brain (intentions) and lower brain (perceptions) filters demonstrate how thought becomes reality, and that forgiveness collapses the perceptual construct so unconscious content can surface and be released. He linked this to Yeshua’s Aramaic teaching: “The eye is the lamp of the soul”—not the physical eye, but perception itself. When perception is darkened by hostility or fear, confusion and pain arise; when Rakhma is active, perception becomes light that guides the soul.

The conversation shifted as Susan joked about her “filter being out of kilter,” leading Ryce into a reflection on the unity of mind and body. He explained that they are not two separate things—just as one cannot separate the heads and tails of a coin. Every mental event affects the body, and every bodily condition reflects mind energy. He encouraged her to keep trusting both physical exercise and breathwork as cooperative avenues of healing. Jeanie read from Louise Hay, noting that hips represent balance and movement forward in life. Together they discovered how guilt—specifically Susan’s guilt about skipping a church event—might be the emotional vibration held in her hip. Ryce gently suggested that by forgiving guilt and breathing into that energy, she could dissolve both emotional and physical tension.

The dialogue deepened further into collective healing. Ryce invited reflection on how personal trauma links to generational and global trauma. “Thirty generations of distortion,” he said, “show up in the conditions of our bodies today.” Healing the world requires each individual to breathe through ancestral patterns, reclaiming Love’s image beneath layers of inherited fear. Susan noted how daily news still triggers her, and Ryce confirmed that these triggers reveal unresolved resonance with the collective unconscious. Every act of conscious forgiveness withdraws energy from the global trauma field and restores Love to the world. He concluded that when enough people do this inner work, the “critical mass” of Love will melt global trauma itself.

The show closed with a touching exchange with Melissa, who offered a testimonial: after following Ryce’s suggestion to ask the universe to show her everything she still needed to heal, she had been flooded with lessons—and felt profoundly renewed. Ryce and Jeanie blessed her growth, affirming that such courageous work contributes to healing “every mind, heart, and being on the planet.”

Notes from chatroom:

Max Planck wrote: “In all my research, I have never come across matter. To me, the term matter implies a bundle of energy which is given form by an intelligent spirit. As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research, about atoms, this much: there is no matter as such. ALL MATTER ORIGINATES AND EXISTS only by virtue of a force, which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious (or, sadly, unconscious replicate mind) and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”

The day’s featured reading was from Finley’s section Fear Ends Here: The Revolution That Changes Everything. Tim reflected on Finley’s message that fear, when seen rightly, is an illusion born of imagination and resistance—not a reflection of real danger. Quoting the Sufi mystic Rabia of Basra, who wrote, “I was born when all I once feared I could love,” he explained that psychological fear ends not by avoidance but by loving what one once resisted. In Finley’s and Ryce’s shared framework, this “rebirth” occurs when one recognizes that fear arises from mistaken thought rather than from external reality. Tim linked this with Krishnamurti’s insight that when we see the root of an untruth, the power of its illusion dissolves. He also drew on A Course in Miracles, which teaches that releasing attachment to error undoes all its effects. In this synthesis, self-discovery becomes the pathway to end psychological fear and reveal Love as one’s true nature.

After reading the next section, Transcendent Peace: Rise Above Life’s Uncertainties, Tim and his listeners discussed how the mind tends to trap us in despair by believing negative thoughts about the future. He read Finley’s reminder that “this too shall pass”—that resistance alone keeps pain alive. By releasing judgment and welcoming life’s flow, we align with the law of impermanence expressed by Buddha, Marcus Aurelius, and John Caird, each affirming that though form changes, consciousness remains constant. Tim highlighted how this mirrors Dr. Ryce’s teaching that while energy and matter shift, Love as Being is eternal.

A rich discussion followed about the nature of embodiment and immortality. Listeners compared perspectives between Dr. Ryce’s vision of rejuvenation through purified thought and traditional views of death as natural transition. Tim observed that, even if one does not share Ryce’s literal interpretation of physical renewal, applying his principles—releasing hostility, activating Love, and aligning intention with creation—still produces profound joy and vitality. He encouraged listeners to focus on the practical application of the tools rather than intellectual debate, saying that true transformation comes from practice, not theory.

The latter part of the show explored integrity in spiritual authorship through a discussion of Colin Tipping, whose Radical Forgiveness model was inspired by Dr. Ryce’s work. Tim, Susan, and Cammy reflected on how Tipping’s adaptation omitted the vital “goal-canceling” step central to Ryce’s Reality Management Worksheet. While Ryce had expressed frustration at this omission, Tim emphasized a nonjudgmental stance—reminding listeners that any tool that helps awaken Love serves the same higher purpose. Cammy noted that knowing Tipping later removed Ryce’s name once he changed the process brought her peace, resolving years of quiet irritation. Tim summarized by affirming that what truly matters is not ownership but the spread of tools that heal. “Whatever works,” he said, “use it—because all true tools lead back to the same Source”.

The show concluded with reflections on individual learning paths. Tim and Susan discussed the Power Person Worksheet and how new tools continually uncover deeper unconscious patterns. They compared different systems—the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and mirror theory—and noted that the most effective teaching is the one that resonates at the right moment in a person’s journey. Tim closed, as always, with his familiar benediction: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 20, 2025 2^nd featured a deep, heartfelt discussion led by Dr. Michael Ryce with participants Kerry and Susan, exploring the nature of grief, emotional healing, and the mechanics of true Aramaic forgiveness. The conversation began with Carrie sharing her personal experiences of profound grief—from betrayal and divorce to the death of her father, job loss, and the destruction of an ancient prairie she had fought to protect. Through these stories, she described her evolution from denial and wallowing to conscious acknowledgment and release. Ryce listened with empathy and noted that her reflections beautifully illustrated the process of moving from denial to direct relationship with one’s emotions, a key element in the Reality Management Worksheet process.

Carrie spoke passionately about eco-grief—a mourning for the Earth itself—and her longing to heal grief once and for all rather than through many individual worksheets. She described feeling the Earth’s pain as her own, recognizing an interconnection between human and planetary suffering. Ryce affirmed her insight but explained that each emotional layer arises from specific resonances within the individual mind. Forgiveness, he said, is not about the world outside us, but about removing the internal blockages that make us project pain onto the external world. By canceling goals that activate unresolved energy, one dissolves false perceptions and comes into direct relationship with the underlying thought disorder—the true cause of suffering.

Ryce clarified the unique Aramaic definition of denial: not pretending something isn’t there, but believing that something outside causes what we feel inside. This, he said, instructs the mind to hide the real source of pain and construct a false image where others appear responsible. Healing requires reversing this pattern by withdrawing projection and facing the energy within. When a goal causes pain upon being “loaded” into the mind, that goal reveals an unresolved resonance. Canceling it allows the perceptual construct to collapse, exposing the hidden energy so it can be forgiven and released. Ryce reminded listeners that this process does not reject the goal itself but clears the interference so the goal can later be reset from Love rather than pain.

The conversation turned to the distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative goals. Carrie noted that some goals seem unrealistic or cause suffering, while others foster collaboration and Love. Ryce responded that all goals are neutral—what matters is whether loading them triggers pain. The “cooperative” aspect arises naturally once the underlying disorder is healed. He also explained the purpose of the final step in the worksheet—setting a new, Love-based goal to be acted on within 24 hours—as a means of reorienting the mind toward creation rather than reaction. This new goal anchors the forgiveness work in daily life, turning insight into tangible expression.

Susan contributed reflections on her own “eco-grief” and her tendency to avoid painful imagery online, acknowledging that such avoidance is only temporary relief. Ryce used this to address a common spiritual misconception: “Absence does not make the heart grow fonder—it only removes the trigger while the unresolved energy remains.” Familiarity, he said, keeps resonance alive, forcing us to confront what still needs healing. He shared a personal story of overwhelming sorrow when witnessing the suffering of others, describing a moment years earlier when he cried out, “I want to go back to where human beings treat each other like human beings again.” That moment, he explained, represented the deepest grief of separation from Love—the very grief that forgiveness dissolves. The only way through, he said, is to continue the work: breathing, staying conscious, and removing layer after layer of stored pain.

The show closed with Ryce reframing humanity’s journey as a return to Love through continual practice. He reminded listeners that forgiveness is not a one-time act but an ongoing refinement—an undoing of generational pain carried forward through denial and projection. When Carrie spoke of co-creating peace with others—even those who have passed—Ryce affirmed that Love transcends time and space; the act of setting a goal in Love reestablishes harmony at every level. He concluded that the privilege of being human is the ability to create anew, to choose Love over fear, and to participate consciously in healing both self and planet. The session ended with gratitude and an invitation to continue the dialogue on grief the following day.

The conversation moved into an exploration of spiritual literature and lived application. A listener mentioned a podcast featuring Mark Hattis, whose novels integrate spirituality and psychology. Tim discussed Hattis’s collaborations with teachers like Dr. Michael Ryce, Dale Allen Hoffman, and The Way of Mastery’s author Jayem, noting Hattis’s unique attempt to reintroduce Yeshua’s Aramaic teachings—especially the Beatitudes—into a modern, practice-based Christian context. While Hattis’s approach leaned more toward traditional church language, Tim appreciated the diversity of spiritual expression, emphasizing that everyone’s path offers a piece of the larger truth. He noted that Yeshua’s Beatitudes were not religious commandments but yogic instructions for aligning the mind and breath with Love, much like ancient Aramaic breathing disciplines or modern techniques such as Wim Hof’s breathwork.

Tim also shared his personal morning practice. Noticing recurring tension around an acquaintance, he used the worksheet to explore his reaction and realized the energy stemmed from an old belief inherited from childhood: “I can’t do what others can because they’re smarter than me.” This insight surfaced during his process and reminded him that the worksheet is less about analyzing theory and more about clearing distortion through direct experience. He encouraged listeners to follow their discomfort rather than avoid it, as every point of tension reveals a limiting belief ready to dissolve. Forgiveness, he said, is not about pardoning another person but about collapsing the perception that pain comes from outside us.

In the latter part of the show, Tim read Alan Watts’s essay “Why Awakened People No Longer Fall in Love,” using it as a framework for a deeper dialogue about awakening and authentic relationship. Watts described the shift from romantic infatuation—driven by need and projection—to a mature love grounded in wholeness and presence. Tim and the callers reflected on the difference between need-based love and being Love itself. He explained that awakening reveals most “falling in love” as a form of self-delusion: loving not the person but the image one projects upon them. Once this illusion dissolves, love becomes an act of sharing wholeness rather than seeking completion.

Tim expanded on Watts’s insights by connecting them to Dr. Ryce’s teachings on perception. Just as optical illusions shift when we see differently, awakening changes how we perceive relationships: what once seemed passion reveals itself as projection, and what once felt like loss becomes peace. True love, he said, is not passive withdrawal but full presence—freedom from the compulsions of need. When the heart awakens, love becomes an energy of generosity and clarity rather than possession. He explained that the “awakened heart” no longer participates in the drama of dependency but rests in the silent awareness of unity.

As the session drew to a close, Tim reflected on how enlightenment does not mean retreating from life. Citing both Watts and Dr. Ryce, he clarified that awakening brings deeper engagement, not apathy. People rooted in Love often become more creative and active, starting nonprofits, writing, teaching, and serving the world from inner peace rather than compulsion. He ended with a reminder that awakening transforms perception so that every encounter becomes a reflection of Love itself.

Tim closed the program with his familiar affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 21, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce continued the deep exploration of eco-grief, healing, and forgiveness begun the previous day. The conversation with Carrie and Susan centered on grief related to humanity’s destruction of nature and the feeling of helplessness in the face of environmental collapse. Both women spoke of the pain they feel witnessing pollution and indifference, with Susan describing frustration that even within her church’s “Creation Season” initiative, people continued to use plastic and disregard ecological responsibility. Ryce responded with compassion and clarity, emphasizing that genuine healing begins by withdrawing projections and recognizing that what we feel arises from within, not from the outside world.

Ryce explained that holding onto fear, hostility, or grief about the world actually energizes and sustains those very patterns. He encouraged both women to apply the forgiveness process to dissolve the energetic connection to fear-based thinking, reminding them that the mind’s purpose is to inform us through sensations about the quality of the energies we are generating. Drawing from cell biology and quantum physics, Ryce explained that every thought literally creates a molecular structure—what he calls mind energy becoming flesh. When this energy is disordered by hostility or fear, the cells signal distress through emotions like grief, anger, or depression. Forgiveness, he said, removes these distortions so that Love—the true creative essence—can flow freely through the physiology.

He referenced Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief and reframed them as expressions of different types of mind energy—not as external stages to “go through,” but as energies generated within that can be healed through breath and conscious presence. By understanding grief not as a necessary emotional burden but as a feedback mechanism revealing what “does not belong in us,” the mind can release these stored patterns through forgiveness. Ryce underscored that pain and grief are not punishments but signals—opportunities for awareness and correction.

Carrie shared her experience of feeling both sadness and compassion for those who harm the Earth, realizing that her reaction reflected a “power person” pattern inherited from her mother—someone who often felt superior and frustrated with others’ ignorance. Through Ryce’s guidance, she uncovered an unconscious belief that “I can’t win,” which had been fueling her despair. Ryce encouraged her to do a worksheet from her mother’s perspective as well, using forgiveness to dissolve that intergenerational thought disorder. He reminded her that humans are designed to win—that is, to live as Love—and that every goal that evokes pain or defeat can be released to restore creative power.

The group also reflected on the difference between emotion and true feeling. Ryce explained that emotion is a reactive construct of the mind, while feeling is a direct expression of Love flowing through the human form. Pain transforms when judgment is removed, revealing pure sensation—uncharged and alive. He contrasted this with “churchianity’s” glorification of suffering, explaining that Yeshua, on the cross, felt profound sensations but did not suffer because He added no hostility or fear to them. This, Ryce said, is the essence of awakening: to experience fully without distortion.

The discussion concluded with a powerful dialogue about language and the misuse of the word love. Ryce clarified that true Love is not something one “does” to another but what one is when connected to Source. Misdefining Love as an act or possession distorts its power, just as using incorrect definitions of words distorts thought and perception. When we reclaim Love as our natural state, he said, we cease playing the “matching bags of garbage” game—judging others by whether they meet our goals—and instead radiate Love unconditionally.

The hour closed with gratitude and laughter as Ryce affirmed the sacred goal of their work: to incarnate as the active presence of Love, freeing the mind from generational distortion, and living directly from the pulse of creation rather than the reflexes of memory.

He then turned to a follow-up from listener Don, who asked whether they had finished reading Alan Watts’s essay Why Awakened People No Longer Fall in Love. Tim explained that this text illuminates the difference between what most people call “love” — a turbulent mixture of passion, dependency, and fear — and the kind of Love that arises when one awakens to wholeness. Reading from Watts, Tim described awakened Love as “silence, clarity, and generosity without calculation.” It is not a feeling to chase but a state of being, one that doesn’t seek to possess or rescue but simply is. True Love, he said, blossoms only in hearts that already know themselves as whole. The result is not the absence of feeling but the transformation of emotional highs and lows into a steady, grounded peace. He connected this directly to Dr. Ryce’s core teaching that Love is not a verb — not something we do to or for someone else — but the living energy from which we are made.

Listeners reflected on the loneliness that sometimes accompanies awakening, as Watts describes. Tim acknowledged that awakening can feel like “a vast solitude” because one can no longer pretend to believe in the illusions of emotional dependency. Yet he emphasized that this solitude is not isolation; it is the spaciousness of freedom — the quiet calm that remains when fear and attachment dissolve. Quoting Watts’s imagery, he said that awakened Love “does not shout or beg; it simply is,” and when two awakened beings meet, “the meeting is like the touch of two calm waters — natural and harmonious.” Tim noted that this does not mean others are unawakened or unworthy but that each soul progresses at its own pace.

A caller, Susan, asked about the idea of “lying” in relationships when one person wants something different from the other. Tim drew from A Course in Miracles and Guy Finley, explaining that wanting distorts perception: “You must come to understand the distorting power of the way you want things to be.” When desire drives interaction, we unconsciously ignore red flags or manipulate others to maintain an illusion of security. True seeing only arises when we no longer need another person to complete us. He shared how cultural conditioning and “romantic addiction” perpetuate distorted love patterns, while forgiveness and awareness restore clarity.

Tim then revisited Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce’s teaching on relationship, contrasting Western culture’s focus on acquisition and control with the healing goal of “removing everything less than Love inside oneself.” Rather than proving who is right or accumulating possessions, genuine partnership becomes a sacred mirror where each person commits to healing inner hostility and fear. He distinguished between “cherishing,” which involves affection and compatibility, and “Love,” which refers to the creative essence of Life itself. Jeanie and Michael’s own relationship, he noted, demonstrates this principle — not as an idealized romance, but as an ongoing practice of choosing Love over defense, truth over ego, and presence over performance.

As the show continued, listeners reflected on their own relationships, including the process of “un-falling in love” to rediscover peace beyond the addictive cycle of craving and rejection. Tim affirmed that emotional intensity isn’t the measure of Love — peace is. The awakened heart, he said, values stillness and honesty more than the drama of passion. Yet this peace is not dullness; it is vibrancy without chaos, aliveness without attachment. He compared it to the calm sea after a storm — serene, deep, and whole.

Closing the hour, Tim expanded on Guy Finley’s idea that when you no longer want anything from someone, “they can no longer lie to you,” because need ceases to distort perception. In awakening, the mind stops projecting desires onto others, and every relationship becomes an opportunity to practice presence and extend Love without agenda. He concluded that the Reality Management Worksheet provides a concrete, repeatable method for this awakening, reminding listeners that transformation comes not through discussion but through daily practice. He ended with his signature blessing: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 22, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce led a profound exploration of how grief, dreams, and forgiveness intersect within the inner life of the human being. The conversation began with participants Gary and Susan recounting insights from their morning study group on the Bhagavad Gita, which emphasized being “unperturbed by grief.” Dr. Ryce expanded on this theme, explaining that when a person believes their disturbance comes from the external world, they disconnect from their own power to heal. True strength, he said, arises from living incarnated as Love, where no external event can resonate unless its energy already exists within us. From this state of being, one can act compassionately in the world without attachment to outcomes—a key principle of empowerment and forgiveness.

Ryce compared spiritual alignment to tuning a television antenna. Just as an antenna brings in a clear signal when precisely aligned, a person’s energy field carries greater coherence when intention, words, goals, and actions all resonate with Love. Distortion—whether anger, fear, or grief—bends that inner alignment, diminishing one’s capacity to act effectively. True personal power, Ryce explained, is not force or domination but the ability to remain continuously aware of and guided by Love. Drawing on physicist David Bohm’s term “sustained incoherence,” he said humanity’s problems persist because people deny ownership of their inner dissonance and continue thinking with the same carbon-based memory mind that created the issues in the first place.

The conversation shifted to the difference between genuine presence and “spiritual bypassing.” Ryce and the group agreed that forcing oneself to “just be happy” often masks unresolved pain. Ryce distinguished happiness—a dopamine-based state of carbon-based memory—from joy, which he defined as “the infallible sign of awareness of the Presence of Love.” Drawing on Teilhard de Chardin’s words, he emphasized that joy arises naturally when one is aware of the Creator’s presence. From that awareness, forgiveness becomes the dissolution—not denial—of whatever falsehoods have taken residence within the human energy system.

A new caller, Fran, joined to share recurring dreams involving fear, guilt, and a buried body, which she sensed symbolized deep-seated shame. Ryce gently reinterpreted the imagery, suggesting that the “buried woman” was not another person but a representation of Fran’s own self that had been suppressed through pain and trauma. True healing, he said, comes not from forgiving others or oneself in the modern sense but from removing what does not belong inside the mind and body. The Aramaic word for forgiveness, shebag (or shebak), means “to cancel” or “to remove,” not “to pardon.” He explained that modern Greek translations reversed the original intent, turning forgiveness into an external act of mercy rather than an internal act of purification.

Ryce gave Fran a “micro-course” in authentic forgiveness, explaining that the human mind processes only a tiny fraction of its inner activity—what he metaphorically calls the “nine-bit mind.” When something in the external world triggers pain, it is not the event but the goal attached to it that drives the upset. Canceling the goal collapses the construct through which the pain is maintained, revealing the hidden energy beneath it. This allows buried content to surface for release, transforming unconscious pain into conscious awareness. Quoting Carl Jung, Ryce said, “Until the unconscious becomes conscious, it will direct our lives and we will call it fate.” Forgiveness, then, is the process by which the unconscious becomes visible, embraced in Love, and dissolved.

Ryce and the group also discussed recurring “perfectly good” goals—like wanting love, respect, or support—that still need to be canceled if they trigger pain. The goal itself is not wrong; rather, it activates an unresolved resonance in the mind. By canceling and resetting the goal from Love, the person transforms unconscious energy into conscious creation. He compared this process to the Israelites’ forty years in the desert, explaining that the “desert” represents the unconscious, and “the old generation dying off” symbolizes the dissolution of generational causes of pain (from the Aramaic root genari, “cause”). Only through forgiveness—removal of generational pain—can one exit unconscious creation and enter conscious co-creation.

The session closed with a reflection on persistence and patience. Ryce reminded listeners of Yeshua’s Aramaic teaching to forgive “seventy times seven”—meaning as often as necessary for the unconscious to be cleansed. Healing unfolds layer by layer, whether through emotional processing, meditation, or life experiences that reveal the next level of hidden pain. As Ryce put it, every moment of discomfort is a new opportunity to “unbury the self,” awaken from the dream of separation, and live once again as the Presence of Love.

The heart of the program centered on Tim’s personal healing work. He shared how a recent glitch in the app led him to redo several worksheets, revealing deep-seated emotional patterns from both his adult life and high school years. When he worked on sadness over people coming and going in the radio show and support groups, he discovered that beneath this lay a younger part of himself longing for acceptance. The goal he canceled—his need for others to approve or validate him—unlocked memories of high school mornings when he felt desperate to belong among the “smart, active, good” students who let him join their group. He realized that this same dynamic had replayed throughout his life in subtle ways, especially in professional and spiritual communities. The insight brought compassion for himself and a renewed focus on staying grounded in his own value rather than external approval.

As Tim continued his worksheets, he recognized parallels between his connection to Dr. Ryce and his relationship with his father—both authority figures who mirrored feelings of unworthiness. Reflecting on his father’s charismatic friend “Uncle Max,” a man he admired for his intelligence and skill, Tim saw how admiration had become entangled with self-doubt. Through forgiveness work, he began unraveling the core belief that he was “less than” others. The process highlighted the importance of curiosity instead of judgment: rather than resisting old emotional patterns, he practiced gentle awareness, breathing into tension and allowing insights to arise organically. He noted that these realizations remind him that “it’s always an inside job” and that every negative emotion, when met with awareness, carries gold—the hidden guidance that reveals where one’s mind is off course.

A caller, Terry, joined to discuss the Power Person Dynamic, a key teaching in Ryce’s work describing how early relationships with authority figures condition emotional responses to stress. Together they explored how behaviors under stress mirror those learned in childhood—first when things were calm, then when one resisted painful treatment, and finally when one unconsciously repeats the very behavior once hated most. Terry reflected on her relationship with her mother and how she adopted self-critical tendencies from her example. Tim explained that this pattern is universal: under high stress, people tend to reenact their power person’s destructive behavior, proving how generational pain perpetuates until it is forgiven. The goal, he said, is not to fight or suppress those responses but to let them surface, breathe through them, and let everything “unlike Love” move through awareness without resistance.

Another caller, Susan, shared her experience with spiritual teachers who once seemed “above” her and her husband—a dynamic that paralleled Tim’s earlier reflections about seeking validation. Together, they examined how religious and cultural systems reinforce hierarchy, separation, and dependency on external approval. Tim emphasized the importance of “showing clay feet,” meaning living transparently rather than pretending to have mastered the work. True healing, he said, requires humility and self-honesty, not spiritual pretense. He modeled this by walking through a live worksheet about receiving a one-word text from his ex-wife. Though the message stirred anger and confusion, he used the process to uncover his underlying goal: wanting her to acknowledge and repair old relational wounds. When he canceled that goal, he saw a lifelong theme—wanting others to meet him emotionally when they were unable or unwilling—and he experienced calm acceptance. He concluded that peace arises not from others’ behavior but from his own willingness to release demands and return to Love.

The program ended with Tim’s reminder that healing requires continual practice and self-compassion. Every worksheet reveals another layer, another opportunity to return awareness to one’s true nature as Love. He invited listeners to join the evening support group and closed with the familiar affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 23, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce facilitated a collaborative and heartfelt conversation focused on sustaining community engagement, strengthening support structures, and expanding the reach of the Aramaic Forgiveness tools. The discussion began with participants reflecting on the deep value of working with others while using the tools—how mutual support leads to breakthroughs that might not occur in isolation. Several listeners expressed a desire to create systems where individuals could continue the work beyond formal intensives, fostering consistency and accountability through group practice and shared purpose.

One caller, Kerry, shared that her husband was recovering from a concussion and had been reluctant to receive hands-on energy work. The group discussed alternative approaches such as long-distance healing and the importance of honoring a person’s readiness. This personal story became a springboard for reflecting on the power of community in emotional and energetic healing. Kerry emphasized how connecting with others during programs like Laws of Living and CoDependence to InterDependence had been transformative—and how those connections often dissipated afterward. Together, she, Susan, and Joan explored ideas for maintaining post-workshop momentum, suggesting small weekly support calls, peer partnerships, and structured mentorships to keep people engaged between intensives.

Dr. Ryce affirmed that the MindShifters Radio show itself was created fifteen years ago for this purpose—to offer a consistent, live avenue for support and renewal. He observed, however, that participation ultimately depends on individual choice and the willingness to prioritize inner work amid the distractions of daily life. Ryce reflected that “busyness” has become a cultural addiction, serving as the “number one drug” that prevents deep self-awareness. Participants resonated with this, noting that crises often motivate engagement, but once relief is found, many drift away until the next challenge arises. The conversation explored how to shift from crisis-driven healing to a sustained lifestyle of awareness.

Susan described her long experience running a support group, where some participants embrace the worksheet process while others resist it. She explained that while each person’s journey is unique, even small exposures can plant seeds that eventually take root. Ryce agreed, emphasizing that healing cannot be forced—it must be freely chosen. The group considered the possibility of introducing new time slots, such as evening shows, to accommodate those who work during the day, and they discussed using short-form video content to reach broader audiences on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Ryce shared analytics from the HeartLand YouTube channel, where some recordings had thousands of views, reinforcing the potential of digital outreach.

The dialogue turned toward language accessibility. Participants discussed how terms like Rukha d’Koodsha (Holy Spirit), Khooba (Love), and carbon-based memory can be challenging for newcomers. Joan suggested developing “bridge materials” connecting the Aramaic teachings with familiar frameworks such as A Course in Miracles. Ryce clarified that his understanding of forgiveness as “canceling or releasing” (from the Aramaic shebag) actually predates his exposure to A Course in Miracles, though parallels exist. He welcomed the idea of translating key principles into more universally accessible language while preserving the original depth of meaning.

Participants also explored the psychology of resistance. Ryce reflected that while everyone says they want healing, few are willing to face the discomfort of transformation. He likened resistance to a crowd cheering for change but lowering their heads when asked, “Who’s willing to change?” True forgiveness, he reminded them, is simple but not easy—it requires canceling the goals that sustain pain and facing the internal roots of suffering. Susan related how canceling her goal regarding climate change once freed her from despair, illustrating how even global concerns can mask personal attachments that block peace. Ryce affirmed that the Reality Management Worksheet offers a simple, repeatable path for this kind of release—“as easy as ABC”—once one is willing to do the work.

Later in the show, Ryce, Terry Bolling, and others brainstormed concrete outreach methods, including creating short video vignettes and using automated posting tools to distribute them widely. They discussed developing taglines, bite-sized teachings, and a possible mentorship program pairing experienced practitioners with new participants for structured two-week or two-month periods. Jeanie’s success posting one-minute shorts—sometimes generating hundreds of views within 24 hours—was cited as evidence of the public’s growing appetite for accessible, heartfelt spiritual content. They also considered crowdfunding, pre-sales, and international collaboration to fund expansion efforts, ensuring Jeanie and others aren’t overburdened while continuing to grow the mission.

The hour closed with gratitude and shared purpose. Ryce reminded everyone that after sixty years of dedication to this work, his goal remains unchanged: to create pathways for people to remember who they are as Love and to live from that awareness consistently. He invited listeners to reflect on ways they might serve the movement—by mentoring, supporting outreach, or simply embodying forgiveness in daily life.

He then recounted a personal experience that had surfaced during the previous day’s show—a brief, one-word text from his ex-wife that triggered unresolved grief. He used this as an opportunity to demonstrate how the worksheet process reveals deeper emotional content. As he processed the feelings, he uncovered sadness and self-blame surrounding the divorce and his perceived failure as a husband and father. The release brought tears and vivid memories, including how profoundly the separation had affected him years ago. Through the process, he realized that despite believing he had done “everything right” at the time, there were factors he couldn’t have understood. This insight shifted his perception from narrow self-judgment to a wider, more compassionate view—what he described as “changing the macro lens to a wide-angle lens” on life.

Listeners responded with empathy, leading into a broader dialogue about connection and honesty in relationships. One caller, Cammie, reflected on her own healing journey and the challenges of knowing what is appropriate to share with others. She recalled being taught in recovery programs to be “rigorously honest,” which at times led her to overshare or alienate others. Tim offered compassionate insight, explaining that while honesty is vital, it must be balanced with discernment and intention. “We can be brutally honest,” he said, “but often we’re more interested in the brutality than the honesty.” True communication, he added, must come from a desire to connect, not to control or defend. He referenced Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication framework, emphasizing that the real purpose of speech is to build understanding and restore connection, not to prove oneself right.

As the discussion deepened, Tim helped callers explore the roots of their discomfort with honesty and rejection. He encouraged participants to recognize that the pain often stems from younger, wounded parts of themselves seeking safety and validation. By comforting those parts rather than shaming them, one can dissolve emotional rigidity and begin to live more authentically. This, he said, is the essence of forgiveness—not pardoning another person, but removing what blocks awareness of Love. Several listeners shared breakthroughs from recent worksheets, including one who realized her anger and fear around family relationships were reflections of her own desire for approval.

Toward the close of the hour, Tim shifted topics to announce an interview he had recently recorded with Roman Wyden, host of ADHD Is Over. Their discussion explored the myths and realities surrounding ADHD diagnoses and the importance of making informed choices about medication and behavior management. He invited listeners to contact Wyden’s website (adhdisover.com) for a free book and further resources. Despite minor technical difficulties with the recording, Tim emphasized the conversation’s value, describing it as “one of my better interviews” and an example of how conscious awareness can reshape how we approach mental health.

Tim ended with his signature affirmation, encapsulating the spirit of the show: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 24, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce facilitated an extraordinary live process with a caller named Andrea, guiding her through the deep layers of healing, forgiveness, and generational release. The show opened with Andrea describing what she called a “thawing” — an inner softening that allowed her to meet life with greater willingness. Dr. Ryce affirmed this as the natural dissolution of the “non-being mind,” explaining that when we stop resisting what arises, we begin to meet only ourselves in every experience. He compared this awakening process to training at a gym: just as muscles strengthen through resistance, the mind and heart grow through conscious engagement with generational patterns and Power Person dynamics — those early imprints that shape our reactions to conflict and authority.

Andrea shared that her spiritual journey had begun at age fifteen and had included profound states of oneness — moments of complete unity with all creation — followed by painful experiences that shattered her sense of safety. Ryce encouraged her to recognize that enlightenment is not a single event but a continual process of healing deeper layers. He noted that “you can’t storm the gates” of awakening; rather, each layer must be faced with gentleness and persistence. When Andrea described an upcoming meeting with a teacher who demanded agreement with his beliefs as a condition for participation, Ryce recognized the pattern of a Power Person dynamic — the replication of early-life conditioning where acceptance depends on submission. He invited her to work through a Reality Management Worksheet focused on that dynamic, emphasizing that “no human being should ever have to live under threat.” Together, they identified feelings of helplessness, rebellion, and rage that masked deeper pain, and Ryce helped her trace those emotions back to their roots in childhood.

Through this guided process, Ryce led Andrea to recognize how the impulse to make others wrong is both a form of self-punishment and a reactivation of generational blame. He explained that everyone is “justified in their own wisdom,” meaning that each person’s perception is valid from their standpoint, yet no one’s rightness makes another wrong. He urged her to release the energy of blame, which he described as “the universal religion of the world,” and to maintain her human life — her active presence of Love — regardless of others’ hostility. Citing Yeshua’s example from the Garden of Gethsemane, he showed how even in the face of betrayal and violence, one can remain grounded in Love rather than fear. This, he said, is the true demonstration of Christ-consciousness: the refusal to attack or retaliate, even when wounded.

Andrea then revealed that she had experienced a near-death assault and a car accident that seemed to shatter her trust in Love. Ryce compassionately reframed these events as opportunities to clear generational trauma. He explained that in moments of crisis, the mind’s mistake is to “turn to the non-being mind to figure it out,” rather than turning to the breath and Presence. Forgiveness, he said, restores breath and reclaims the power hidden in blame. Through breathing and canceling goals — such as her unconscious need for others to be “big enough” or “safe enough” — she began to experience calm returning to her body. Ryce likened this physiological shift to moving from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic relaxation, allowing the nervous system to re-enter balance.

In the latter half of the show, Ryce expanded on Yeshua’s Aramaic instructions regarding Rakhma, the condition in the frontal lobes that keeps one connected to Love. He explained that “having Rakhma” is the first law of life — the gateway through which Love enters the body. To “honor father and mother,” he said, does not mean approving of their behavior but bringing Love into behavior toward them, even mentally, as this dissolves the disease generated by judgment and resentment. Andrea recognized her “I am wrong, bad, and defective” belief as a generational echo, passed down through ancestors who had also lived in rage and self-condemnation. Ryce affirmed that seeing this illusion is the turning point: “You just caught the core Power Person message.” He reminded her that healing now occurs through willingness, not through re-creating suffering — “you no longer need to go through attack to clean it up; grace can erase karma through willingness.”

The program closed with a communal moment of encouragement. Ryce and the group held Andrea in Love as she prepared for her meeting, affirming her strength and clarity. Ryce emphasized that what one offers to another in Love always passes through one’s own energy field first: “When you give healing, you receive it.”

From chatroom: “What convinced you to give your essence of love away?”

The central focus of the program was a continued reading from The Book of One Love, One Life, One Journey by Guy Finley and Dr. Ellen Dickstein. Tim reflected on the section titled “Transcendent Peace: Rise Above Life’s Uncertainties.” He explained that the book’s message parallels Dr. Ryce’s teaching: when people resist life’s flow and hold onto negative thoughts or false goals, they anchor themselves in illusion and suffering. True peace comes from releasing those anchors and recognizing the impermanent nature of all experiences. Quoting Finley, Tim noted that negative thoughts are always lies — remnants of past pain or projected fears — and that all suffering comes from resisting what is. He encouraged listeners to adopt the Aramaic practice of canceling false goals and to recognize that what feels unbearable in the moment will always pass once resistance is dissolved.

Tim drew connections between Finley’s teachings, Buddhism, and Ryce’s own Reality Management work, showing how each tradition emphasizes the same truth: that clinging to impermanent “anchors” — people, relationships, possessions, or beliefs — inevitably leads to disappointment. The only true anchor, he said, is awareness itself, which cannot be shaken or dissolved by time. Quoting ancient wisdom from Buddha, Marcus Aurelius, and Dostoevsky, he highlighted the recurring theme that all pain, when allowed rather than resisted, becomes a doorway to spiritual awakening. He added that Ryce often calls negative thought structures “thought disorders,” which dissolve only when brought into conscious awareness and released through forgiveness.

The discussion continued with Finley’s chapter “Jump Off the Pain Train and Stop Suffering for Nothing.” Tim explored how psychological pain arises not from life’s events but from inner resistance — the refusal to see each experience as an opportunity for healing. He paralleled this with Dr. Ryce’s assertion that when “anything unlike Love” arises, one must remain conscious, active, and present in Love to allow transformation. By softening, breathing, and surrendering to the moment — rather than repressing or projecting pain — the energy of Love transmutes suffering into clarity. Citing Jung, he added that “there is no coming to consciousness without pain,” reinforcing the need to face inner darkness rather than escaping it.

The hour concluded with the reading “Discover the Treasure Hidden in Any Unwanted Moment.” Tim emphasized that every difficulty contains a hidden gift designed to awaken the soul. He referenced Finley’s idea of the “unseen cosmic curriculum” — life’s invisible teaching plan whose purpose is to awaken the individual to the intelligence that created it. Tim connected this to the Aramaic principle of Rukha d’Koodsha — the sacred breath — as the indwelling force guiding every moment toward greater awareness. When life feels painful or uncertain, he said, it is not punishment but divine instruction, inviting self-discovery and surrender. As he closed, Tim reminded listeners of the program’s core affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 27, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce leads a deeply introspective dialogue on perception, purification, and the process of true healing. He begins by noting the group’s fasting practice as a way to give the body time to cleanse, paralleling the physical detox process with emotional and spiritual purification. Andrea shares her progress from a recent worksheet and the insights she gained around the power person dynamic, recognizing how shared resonance among participants mirrors her own internal patterns. Dr. Ryce uses her reflection to explain that we do not truly “see” or “hear” the outer world — rather, the brain constructs reality internally through the “nine-bit mind,” leaving little room for actuality until forgiveness collapses false perceptions.

Ryce expands on this by describing revelation as the moment when actuality enters the mind — direct knowing beyond carbon-based memory. The conversation moves into what he terms the purification process, or healing crisis: when divine truth (actuality) enters the system, everything unlike it must be brought up and released. He explains that physical, mental, and emotional symptoms are not punishments but signs of old energies leaving the system. When the body-mind unit resists through fear or suppression, those energies lodge in the tissues, becoming the root of illness and confusion. True healing, he says, requires breathing through these symptoms and allowing truth to reorganize the energy system at every level — even genetically.

Andrea asks about feelings of failure after moments of enlightenment, and Ryce clarifies that confusion is a normal, even desirable, state of healing — the intersection of old false energies meeting new truth. Using the metaphor of red, blue, and green lights mixing into white, he illustrates how confusion arises as truth and distortion overlap. Healing requires continuing to breathe through confusion rather than seeking control. He emphasizes that language itself separates us from actuality: words are “symbols of symbols,” twice removed from experience. Real living begins when we drop into direct experience beyond words and mind constructs — when we are “out of our minds” and into Being.

The conversation then turns to fear, trauma, and the creative power of thought. Andrea expresses fear of re-creating harmful experiences, and Ryce connects this to Job’s realization — “That which I feared most has come upon me.” He teaches that fear is the amplifier of mind energy and that unconscious dread invites its own replication. The task, then, is to forgive the fear itself. Drawing from cell biology and Bruce Lipton’s research, Ryce explains that thoughts generate neuropeptides — literal chemical instructions embedded in cells — and that forgiveness extracts these stored energies, freeing the body from inherited trauma.

Susan joins to discuss generational fear and women’s collective wounding, opening a discussion on cultural and gender-based oppression. Ryce affirms that such distortions are multi-generational and that healing them requires replacing fear-based instructions with loving ones — such as Jeanie’s affirmation, “I deserve to be safe and protected, honored and treated lovingly and with respect.” He reminds the audience that saying “I deserve to be free of harm” still focuses the mind on harm and perpetuates its frequency; instead, we must affirm what we truly want to create.

The discussion concludes with reflections from Terry, who shares decades of experience applying these tools — Reality Management Worksheets, StillPoint Breathing, and daily practice — to dissolve fear and confusion. He notes that healing “is not for wimps” and requires willingness, perseverance, and breath. Dr. Ryce affirms that humanity’s journey mirrors Israel’s forty years in the desert — a metaphor for wandering through unconsciousness until awakening to conscious co-creation. As he closes, he reminds listeners that the breath is the vehicle of divine Love — the sustaining life force of the Creator within each person.

Notes from chatroom:

Sally Ramsey: With you in fasting today. Let’s fast from food and fear.

Susan Bingham: What is it that Andria is fearing? I missed something here. Thx

Jeanie: Fear of repeating incidents of being harmed.

Susan Bingham: By a person or people. Yes. Also, a fear of losing the realizations she has gotten?

Andria: It’s both Susan. Both fears you mentioned.

Terry Bowling: Andria- What do you deserve? When you said “I don’t deserve “… It was a familiar energy I’ve worked on

Andria: I deserve to be free of physical harm Terry. (michael pointed out your focus is still on what you don’t want)

Jeanie: I deserve to be safe and protected and honored and treated lovingly and with respect.

Andria: That’s a BIG clue for me with hopeless and helpless for me Terry!

Jeanie: There is a “thing” in psychology (and it applied to me too) called “Learned Helplessness”

Andria: I will revisit that Jeanie.

The conversation then turned to a question raised the previous day: the meaning of “original sin.” Tim explained that the “original error” was not disobedience but judgment — humanity’s choice to believe in separation from the Creator. He paraphrased Dr. Michael Ryce’s view that the true “fall” occurred when consciousness chose to perceive through the five senses rather than remain in direct communion with the Source. This, he said, is the “optical delusion” Einstein described, now modernized by Ryce to mean that all perception through separation is distortion. Quoting Rumi, Shakespeare, and A Course in Miracles, Tim illustrated that the return to Love comes when we release judgment and meet in the “field beyond right and wrong,” the energy of pure Being.

As Susan and Don joined the conversation, they explored how language and analysis can act as traps for the mind. Tim reflected on how the ego’s obsession with “figuring it out” — even within spiritual work — keeps people in the intellect rather than experience. He reiterated Ryce’s teaching that words are “symbols of symbols,” twice removed from actuality, and that the true purpose of this work is not verbal explanation but choice. Every moment, he said, invites a choice between Love and fear. When people speak to feel safe, they reveal their underlying fear; this recognition becomes a perfect target for tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet, StillPoint Breathing, or EFT tapping. The goal is not to analyze or fix the fear but to dismantle it by restoring awareness of the self as Love — an essence that cannot be harmed or diminished.

Later in the show, the discussion shifted toward the idea of ADHD and sensitivity, referencing Tim’s interview with Roman Wyden. Tim contrasted the hunter-versus-farmer theory — the idea that traits now labeled as “attention disorders” were once vital survival advantages — with the modern tendency to pathologize difference. He emphasized that labels like ADHD or bipolar are linguistic shortcuts that obscure the wholeness of the person. From the Aramaic perspective, these so-called disorders are adaptive responses to unhealthy environments, not flaws in Being. He encouraged listeners to drop judgment of others’ behaviors and instead meet each person with awareness, compassion, and curiosity about how their unique wiring interacts with life’s flow.

As the dialogue deepened, Susan raised the topic of addiction, quoting Wyden’s phrase “the God-sized hole” that people try to fill with substitutes. Tim affirmed this insight and related it to the central theme of the show: the original sin of separation is still enacted every time we seek fulfillment outside ourselves. Addictive behavior, he said, is a symptom of forgetting that we are already whole — that we are Love itself. The cure is not shame or control but the gentle recognition of this truth through forgiveness and awareness. Tim concluded the program by restating the MindShifters affirmation: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 28, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce deepens the discussion from prior shows, centering on perception, the breath of life, and the body as an antenna for divine energy. Ryce uses his familiar glass-of-water analogy to describe how the human mind becomes clouded by generational hostility, fear, and guilt — colors that obscure the clarity of perception. Only through the steady pouring in of “clean water,” or Truth, can the mind’s opacity be displaced and Love restored. He draws from Yeshua’s Aramaic teachings, emphasizing that the “Kingdom of Heaven” is not a distant realm but a community of Love experienced when the unconscious “desert mind” is cleansed of its ancient residues.

Andrea reflects on her Power Person worksheet work, recognizing how childhood experiences and self-driving tendencies have formed veils in her perception. Ryce relates this to A Course in Miracles, clarifying that the “world” the Course refers to is not external but “false perception” born of carbon-based memory. He describes how the mind constructs images that seem to prove others cause our pain, cutting us off from internal awareness and responsibility — the true meaning of the “veil of the temple.” Ryce explains that this unconscious storage of hostility and fear is what scripture calls the “desert,” and that Yeshua’s first-century Aramaic forgiveness process directly dissolves it by canceling goals that drive false perception.

The conversation broadens to include the group’s reflections on the simplicity and power of forgiveness, with Ryce explaining that this tool does not require belief — only use. The world, he says, is not real but a projection built by goals and mental constructs. When we cancel goals, the perceptual picture collapses, allowing revelation — information direct from actuality — to replace the illusions of the carbon-based memory. Andrea comments on the Jesus story as an inner mythic map rather than literal history, to which Ryce responds that what matters is not belief in the story’s physicality but the willingness to use the tools that reveal the truth of Being.

The discussion turns to earthing and grounding, with participants describing both physical grounding through the earth and energetic grounding through meditation. Ryce connects this with ancient Aramaic cosmology, explaining that humans were formed from the “dust of the earth” and animated by the Creator’s breath of life. Drawing from one of the oldest Aramaic renderings of Genesis, he notes that humanity became a speaking soul — not merely a physical creature given a separate spirit, but a living interface between breath (Spirit) and matter (Earth). He critiques Greek theology for externalizing the Holy Spirit as a distant being instead of recognizing it as the breath moving in our nostrils. Denying the breath, he says, is the true meaning of the “unpardonable sin,” because holding one’s breath blocks divine Love’s flow and prevents forgiveness from dissolving stored pain.

Kerry expands the discussion with a guided grounding meditation, linking the divine light from above with the crystalline core of the earth, using breath and mudras to cleanse and connect all 13 chakras. Ryce affirms this practice, connecting it to StillPoint Breathing and the physics of the human body as an antenna. He explains that the cranial bones, spine, and pelvis form a self-adjusting antenna whose alignment determines which frequencies of divine intelligence we receive. Trauma, he says, distorts this antenna, limiting our ability to “trap” the energies of the Creator. True prayer, in Aramaic, means “to set a trap for God” — aligning the antenna of body and mind to receive pure guidance, not to petition for external favors.

The group concludes with reflections on healing through alignment. Ryce reminds listeners that the Creator who built the body knows how to rebuild it, and regeneration occurs when interfering energies are released through forgiveness, breath, and alignment. Pain, disease, and limitation, he teaches, are not punishments but evidence of interference in Love’s flow — interference that can be removed through consistent application of the tools. As the conversation closes, Ryce reiterates that creation itself is Love breathing through us, and that conscious participation in that breath is the key to healing, vitality, and awakening.

The discussion turned to the nature of suffering, loss, and the purpose of emotional pain. Hayes reflected on a statement from a previous show about “hitting bottom” and explained that collapse is not a requirement for healing. Through regular use of the forgiveness tools, he said, people can learn from life’s “nudges” — the subtle pain signals that guide growth — without having to endure major crises. Pain, as Dr. Ryce often teaches, is not punishment but feedback, a compassionate signal that something in the mind’s perception is off-course. By applying the worksheet process daily, individuals can cultivate awareness before suffering becomes severe.

Hayes then explored the distinction between mind and heart, referencing Michael Singer’s work on the qualities of both. He described the mind as a reactive mechanism that generates stories, judgments, and defense strategies, while the heart — not the physical organ, but the “space of awareness between thought and sensation” — is the true integrator of human experience. When the heart stays open, life’s energy flows freely; when it closes, pain and fear intensify. Hayes stressed that denying or suppressing emotion does not heal it but traps it in the body. The healing path, he said, requires breathing into emotion and surrendering control so that Love’s intelligence can do its restorative work.

Later in the show, Hayes spoke about the creative power of attention. He reminded listeners that “as goes my attention, so comes my experience.” In each moment, we are free to choose the focus of consciousness, and that focus determines our reality. If anger or fear is active, he said, it is never about the present moment — it is an echo from the past. When we act from such energies, we inevitably make life harder. Instead, by breathing, softening, and turning awareness inward, we can ask, “How am I creating this emotion in me right now?” This question, central to Dr. Ryce’s Reality Management process, reverses the learned cultural habit of blaming external causes. Hayes reiterated that every emotion is generated internally by the meanings we assign to events, and by changing those meanings through forgiveness, we reclaim creative responsibility for our experience.

The conversation then turned deeply personal as Susan Bingham called in to discuss the difference between love and addiction. She reflected on her own patterns of fear, longing, and compulsion in relationships, wondering whether “love addiction” is simply an emotional dependency masked as affection. Hayes responded by sharing Dr. Ryce’s definition of addiction: “The compulsive use of any person, substance, or behavior to distract from or numb internal pain, fear, or sadness — or to block one from acting on their highest guidance.” He and Susan explored how both chemical and relational addictions operate as avoidance mechanisms for deeper fear and grief. Hayes noted that relational addiction can be more complex than substance addiction because one cannot abstain from relationships entirely — the challenge is to remain present and conscious within them rather than using them to escape one’s own pain.

Susan vulnerably shared how her early life experiences created uncertainty about love and trust, leading her to seek stability in external connections, including the radio show itself. She likened her participation to “training wheels” helping her learn consistency and emotional regulation. Hayes affirmed her self-awareness and encouraged her to keep exploring without shame, reminding her that genuine healing occurs not through perfection but through openness. Their exchange beautifully illustrated how applying forgiveness tools to real relationships allows hidden fears to surface and be released rather than acted out. Hayes closed the show by expressing gratitude for her courage and reaffirming the program’s central truth: “We come from Love, we are made of Love, we are Love, and everything else is false.”

October 29, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce led a profound exploration of the relationship between breath, intelligence, and creation. He began by sharing insights he discovered while writing the foreword for Jeanie Ryce’s book Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, tracing the Aramaic creation story back to its oldest translation in the Targum Onkelos. Ryce explained that in the original Aramaic, humanity was formed from “dust and breath,” and that the infusion of breath into matter created a speaking, reasoning being. He described the physical body as a highly advanced instrument — “the best of smartphones” — that becomes lifeless and unintelligent without its connection to the breath, which is the direct uplink to divine intelligence.

Ryce emphasized that early Greek translators severed this vital connection when they turned the living breath — the Rukha d’Koodsha, or sacred breath — into an abstract “Holy Spirit.” This distortion, he said, disconnected humanity from its source and led to centuries of confusion. In Aramaic understanding, there is no distant, disembodied Spirit; the divine intelligence resides in the breath itself, continually animating all life. He reinterpreted the “unpardonable sin” — the denial of the Holy Spirit — to mean the denial of breath. Holding one’s breath in moments of fear or trauma, Ryce explained, literally cuts off divine intelligence and locks the body into carbon-based memory. Forgiveness, in contrast, restores the breath and allows Love’s intelligence to dissolve what is “off the mark” within us.

The conversation turned to Hawaiian culture, where Ryce connected the Aramaic concept of sacred breath with the Hawaiian word “ha” (breath) and “haole”, meaning “one without breath.” He noted that Western culture, in its fixation on control and intellect, has become a civilization that “greets without breath — and therefore without intelligence.” His co-hosts reflected on how this pattern manifests in environmental destruction and spiritual disconnection. Celinda expanded the dialogue, referencing the Hebrew scholar’s teaching that life arises through the union of “dust, water, and breath,” drawing parallels to Aramaic cosmology. She shared her appreciation for seeing God as “energy” rather than a fixed noun — an idea echoed by Rabbi David Cooper’s God Is a Verb. Ryce agreed, affirming that breath is the interface where Love and intelligence meet and move through creation.

Carrie and others then joined to discuss how separation and illusion arise when form is cut off from the breath. Ryce explained that the mind — understood as carbon-based memory — is not truly intelligent, but a reactive database that replays old data. Only when the breath flows through the body can divine intelligence, the “mind of Christ,” re-enter awareness. When people hold their breath during pain or resistance, they cut themselves off from this living flow and become trapped in their past programming. He described StillPoint Breathing as a process of releasing these blocks through continuous breath until resistance — “the Satan,” meaning “the resistor” in Aramaic — dissolves. Once the resistor is gone, the body shifts from a state of tension to superconductivity, allowing full energetic flow and healing. Ryce likened this to a circuit becoming unobstructed, allowing divine energy to flood the system and restore wholeness.

The discussion deepened with reflections on cosmic breath and universal consciousness. Carrie observed that if all matter breathes — including mountains and rocks — then the universe itself must be participating in a great cosmic respiration. Ryce affirmed this, explaining that the “breath of life” in Genesis represents that same cosmic rhythm expressed in different forms and densities. Everything that exists, he said, lives and moves within this breath. From this awareness, he invited everyone to “greet with breath,” committing to consciously offer breath — and thereby Love — in every interaction.

The hour concluded with a powerful personal story from Terry, who shared how a StillPoint Breathing session decades earlier had catalyzed a life-changing expansion of consciousness. His experiences with meditation and recovery led him to discover that true intelligence and healing arise through surrendering to the breath, not through drugs or intellect. Ryce and Terry reflected on how breath-centered forgiveness opens “the superconscious state,” dissolving illusion and reconnecting with the living universe. As the show closed, Ryce reiterated that Jeanie’s forthcoming book will help restore the true foundation of Yeshua’s Aramaic teachings — awakening humanity to the breath as the direct experience of God. He ended with Rumi’s reminder: “Your pain will lead to more pain until you learn to exhale Love through your eyes.”

Notes from chatroom:

Hayes announced an upcoming interview with Dr. Emma Bragdon, founder of the Integrative Mental Health University and the Foundation for Energy Therapies. Her work, he noted, aligns closely with his own passion—bridging spirituality and mental health. Bragdon’s research and teaching on energy therapies and breathwork, as well as her writing on spiritual emergence, illustrate a global movement toward non-pharmaceutical approaches to mental healing. Hayes expressed admiration for her holistic, heart-centered approach and anticipation for their December conversation about restoring balance in mental health care by integrating spiritual awareness.

A listener named Sally shared about her daughter’s ongoing struggle with OCD and anxiety. Hayes responded with compassion, validating her desire to remain in the role of mother rather than therapist. He affirmed that anxiety and obsessive behaviors often arise from the same emotional roots—patterns of fear, control, or trauma—and that practical tools like the worksheet can help both parent and child find relief. He encouraged Sally to continue doing her own emotional processing rather than focusing solely on her daughter’s symptoms, reminding listeners that healing begins internally and radiates outward.

Hayes then returned to reading from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the chapter “Timeless Living.” Finley describes how every season of life—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—holds its own sacred wisdom and beauty, with no one season better than another. Hayes reflected on the quote, “If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.” He expanded on this teaching, explaining that life’s quality is determined not by external circumstances but by the awareness we bring to each moment. When we meet experience without regret for the past or fear of the future, we discover that this moment—whatever its appearance—is the best moment of our lives.

Continuing Finley’s chapter “See Light in Dark Moments and Start Healing Your Life,” Hayes explored how periods of darkness—sorrow, confusion, or despair—carry hidden gifts. Quoting spiritual masters like St. John of the Cross and Francis Bacon, he reminded listeners that endurance through darkness prepares us for great light. The apparent “trials” of life are, in truth, catalysts designed to awaken the soul. Each difficulty offers a divine lesson that reveals the presence of Love beneath appearances. Hayes underscored Finley’s insight that life’s curriculum is self-referential: our challenges exist to teach us what we still need to learn about Love, trust, and surrender. By recognizing this, even pain becomes purposeful, revealing the “unseen intelligence” shaping our experiences for growth.

Hayes connected this to the Reality Management Worksheet principle—that when something in life triggers anger, fear, or resistance, it signals unresolved energy within us. Every irritation is a teacher calling us to consciousness. He recalled Finley’s metaphor of “walls” that appear in our path, explaining that freedom comes when we stop fighting those walls and instead see them as invitations to let go of self-ignorance. The moment we recognize that “who I have been is powerless to take me any further,” transformation begins. This awareness dismantles fear and allows the next level of the soul’s evolution to unfold naturally.

In the final section, Hayes read from Finley’s next chapter, “The Divine Connection.” Here, Finley draws from St. Augustine, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Carl Jung to illustrate how human beings seek wonder in the outer world but often overlook the miracle of their own existence. Hayes reflected that awe and beauty in nature are mirrors of the divine beauty within us—“it takes one to know one.” Our ability to perceive magnificence is proof that it already lives inside us. He closed by affirming Finley’s teaching that the path to divine realization requires self-observation—a conscious stepping back from thought and emotion to become the silent witness. In that awareness, fear dissolves and the higher Intelligence (what Ryce calls the mind of Love) begins to guide us effortlessly.

Hayes concluded with an invitation to the Thursday night MindShifters support group on Zoom and reminded listeners of the foundational truth of the work he shares with Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce: “We come from Love. We are made of the stuff we call Love. We are Love. Everything else is false.”

October 30, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce hosted an intimate and powerful conversation that revolved around healing through writing, forgiveness, and releasing the mind from the world’s addiction to blame. The hour opened with Kerry sharing her experience with a new writing group called Writing From Within on Substack, where participants used prompts inspired by the Tarot of the She—cards themed around blame, integrity, imagination, and joy. She described how writing through these layers paralleled her inner healing journey: releasing blame, reclaiming integrity, envisioning transformation, and ultimately rediscovering joy. Ryce reflected that this sequence perfectly illustrated the path of the MindShifter Process, transforming old self-condemnation into self-support and conscious creation.

Ryce and Kerry explored how writing itself can become a spiritual tool—a way to access revelation rather than memory. Ryce described “writing from within” as allowing divine insight to fill the conscious mind with fresh revelation instead of replaying the old world’s interpretations. Jeanie Ryce added a recommendation for the book Writing Down Your Soul by Janet Conner, a work she found transformative for bringing prayer and inner listening into journaling. Kerry shared how revisiting her old rage-filled journals felt heavy and even energetically uncomfortable, and Ryce affirmed that guidance, suggesting she store them elsewhere until she feels led to revisit them. He noted that each rereading reveals “a whole new you” and another layer of healing.

Susan then shared her own writing journey—burning her early journals filled with self-pity and blame and later beginning new journals from a healed mind. She spoke about turning those writings into a 1,500-page memoir chronicling her growth from trauma to awakening. The editing process, she said, was profoundly therapeutic. Susan compared her relationship with Tim Hayes to that of a supportive father guiding her like a child learning to ride a bike—first helping, then running beside her as she gained balance and independence. Ryce gently invited her to internalize that father figure as her own higher self, her inner authority that would always remain with her. Susan’s reflection deepened when she revealed that her real father’s sudden death on a golf course had been both tragic and symbolic of his spirit’s enduring presence within her. She recognized that this process—transferring dependence from outer figures to inner guidance—was the essence of the work.

The conversation turned tender as Susan described how her pacemaker, once vital to her survival, had become almost inactive as her heart energy rebalanced—a physical mirror of her inner healing. Ryce affirmed that this was an example of how deep forgiveness and energy work can realign the body’s systems. Susan offered a testimonial about her progress and credited both Ryce and Hayes for the tools that allowed her to heal decades of emotional pain. Before moving on, she requested prayers for her friend Mary Jane, who had recently fallen and broken her neck, leaving her paralyzed. Ryce led a compassionate reflection, interpreting the neck symbolically as the bridge between heaven and earth, affirming the vision of her reconnecting with divine alignment regardless of physical outcome.

Jeanie Ryce then shared exciting news about her upcoming book, Healing Generations One Breath at a Time, which had just entered production through BookBaby Publishing. She described the structure—beginning with raw, painful personal stories and progressing through forgiveness worksheets that transform each disintegrative thought into wholeness. Her goal, she said, was to reach anyone burdened by self-blame, showing through her own story that healing is possible. Susan affirmed that Jeanie’s book would speak to everyone, not just trauma survivors, because “being on the planet is trauma enough.” Ryce expressed joy that the project was moving forward, calling it “an exciting birthing of the work into the world.” Jeanie explained how BookBaby’s self-publishing model allows creative control and wide distribution while maintaining personal connection through signed pre-orders.

The dialogue expanded to include Terry, who shared about recent vertigo and how Ryce’s guidance helped him realign his physical structure through energy work and a specific head maneuver. The experience, Terry said, paralleled his current synthesis of teachings from Ryce, Robert Sheinfeld, and the Twelve Steps. He was creating an integrated worksheet designed to help recovering addicts bridge traditional AA principles with the deeper inner work of forgiveness. Ryce responded with profound encouragement, reading from his manuscript The End of Suffering, where he quoted Isaiah: “Their minds are waxed gross.” He explained that a “mind waxed gross” is one so steeped in blame that it cannot conceive of looking inward for healing. Parables, he said, are designed to bypass that mind and reach the heart, just as Yeshua taught his disciples through metaphor because they could not yet hear direct truth.

Terry shared how the 12-Step process had first opened him to responsibility, but that the deeper integration with Ryce’s forgiveness tools allowed him to go beyond intellectual insight into true transformation. He quoted Isaiah 30:15—“In quietness and confidence shall be your strength”—and explained how that verse had anchored his early recovery. Ryce affirmed this connection, noting that all addiction recovery ultimately leads to the same realization: we are creators, not victims. He quoted Richard Bach’s Running From Safety: “If it’s never our fault, we can’t take responsibility for it. If we can’t take responsibility, we’ll always be its victim.” The group reflected on how this shift—from outer blame to inner ownership—is the core of all healing and the central message of both the Why Again work and Yeshua’s original Aramaic teachings.

The show closed with warmth and gratitude among the group. The conversation had woven together writing, forgiveness, energy healing, publishing, and recovery—each strand returning to the same truth that Love is both the Source and the outcome of all healing.

He then resumed reading from Guy Finley’s One Love, One Life, One Journey, focusing on the chapter “Unlock the Vault to Your Heart’s Deepest Desire.” Finley teaches that entering silence is essential to accessing higher wisdom. Hayes expanded on this by describing how modern distractions—especially excessive screen time, social media, and constant multitasking—keep people trapped in external noise and inner chaos. True silence, he said, is not merely the absence of sound but a spiritual medium through which truth can reach and teach us. He encouraged listeners to cultivate a daily practice of quieting the mind, stepping back from habitual thought, and discovering the self that exists beyond inner chatter. In that stillness, he explained, we meet the “I Am” that remains untouched by fear, judgment, or comparison.

A listener, Susan Bingham, raised a question about the growing concern that young people are spending so much time gaming. She shared an observation that gaming might serve as a form of self-regulation—a way of creating order in a chaotic world. Hayes acknowledged the perspective but noted that no one truly knows the long-term effects of digital immersion on human creativity and consciousness. He described how former tech engineers from major social platforms had begun designing counter-apps like Be Present to help users consciously limit addictive behaviors and regain control of their attention. Hayes pointed out that many adults, not just children, now require such tools to reestablish balance and restore their capacity for genuine presence.

The conversation then turned to the emotional toll of high-stress professions, particularly for first responders and healthcare workers. Hayes discussed Dr. Kevin Gilmartin’s book Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement, noting that constant hypervigilance can cause the nervous system to collapse into burnout once the external pressure lifts. He compared this to medical professionals who leave the hospital only to find themselves emotionally numb or disengaged at home. The key, he said, is deliberate decompression—rituals such as brisk walking, breathwork, or mindful transition periods before returning home. Without conscious grounding, he warned, people fall below their natural emotional baseline, leading to relational distance and chronic fatigue. He recommended listening to his podcast interview with Gilmartin, available through Journey’s Dream and the On Your Mind Podcast series.

The dialogue expanded into a discussion about walking meditation and physical mindfulness. Hayes explained that Thich Nhat Hanh’s approach to walking meditation involves simple awareness—feeling one’s foot touch the ground, hearing birdsong, sensing air on the skin, and observing the miracle of perception itself. He also referenced Guy Finley’s exercise of noticing not just what is seen but the process of seeing and the awareness behind the eye. Another listener shared her experience of labyrinth walking combined with harmonic humming, where forty participants walked while holding individual tones that blended into a shared vibration of exquisite harmony. Hayes related this to the natural entrainment of human rhythms—how heartbeats and breathing patterns synchronize in shared awareness—turning the labyrinth into a living metaphor for unity and consciousness.

As the conversation drew to a close, Hayes reflected on the words of J. Krishnamurti, “It is only the silent mind, the mind that is free, that can come upon that which is beyond time.” He connected this to the concept of timeless awareness, noting that moments when we lose track of time—whether through creative expression, deep listening, or conscious stillness—are glimpses of eternity. He invited listeners to spend the weekend doing whatever brings that sense of timeless presence, where the self dissolves and only Love remains.

October 31, 2025 2^nd hour hosted by Dr. Michael Ryce delivered an extraordinary teaching on the Aramaic understanding of creation, the living breath, and the nature of being as a speaking, animated presence of Love. Ryce opened the conversation by describing his study of an ancient Aramaic rendition of Genesis, which does not say “man became a living soul,” but rather, “man became a speaking being.” He emphasized that the human body is not inherently alive; it is animated by the breath of the Creator, the interface between divine intelligence and the dust of the earth. Breath, he explained, is the carrier of Love, the animating force that gives life to the clay of our physical structure. The moment breath is removed, the body ceases to function, proving that life is not of the body but of the Spirit that animates it. This revelation, he said, deepens the significance of the StillPoint Breathing Process, which reanimates disconnected parts of the body and restores the flow of Love through every cell.

Ryce reflected on Albert Einstein’s quote, “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” Knowledge, he said, is of the intellect, but understanding is experiential—it is born when Love and breath are consciously united. Humanity’s suffering arises from knowing without understanding, from intellectualizing spiritual truth instead of embodying it. Through breath and forgiveness, the barriers to Love’s awareness dissolve, allowing the natural state of aliveness to return. When we hold the breath, he continued, it is because something painful is resonating that we do not want to face. “Breath means I feel,” he said, “and when I feel, I am fully alive.” The act of holding breath anesthetizes us to feeling, while conscious breathing restores access to hidden emotions and opens the door to forgiveness. He identified arthritis as an energetic manifestation of suppressed anger—a vibration stored in the tissues that blocks the flow of life. As we breathe into the painful area with willingness to feel what has been buried, the energy releases, the tissue clears, and healing begins.

The discussion turned to anger as a form of mental illness. Ryce explained that when we act under the influence of anger—doing things we later regret—our minds are not functioning properly. “If anger drives behavior we regret, that’s mental illness,” he said. The recognition is not for judgment but for awareness: when anger arises, the mind is lying, projecting blame outward instead of facing inward. Forgiveness, breath, and conscious awareness become the cure for this mental distortion. If humanity were consistently connected to breath, he said, “we would never need forgiveness or any other tools, because we would function out of revelation.” He distinguished revelation from perception, describing revelation as direct access to actuality—the living information of creation. The Quantum StillPoint Process, he noted, is designed to open the gate from limited perception into revelation, allowing access to the full intelligence of creation rather than the nine bits of data the conscious mind can handle.

Susan shared her ongoing challenge of breath-holding and fear of being seen. Ryce reminded her that these patterns are cultural distortions—defenses learned against intimacy and presence. He invited her to let the breath “hold her” with the same loving attention she felt from him or Dr. Tim Hayes during workshops, to allow the breath itself to become the compassionate witness she once sought in others. As Susan reflected on the discomfort of being observed and her self-consciousness about aging, Ryce encouraged her to apply forgiveness worksheets to judgments about appearance and self-worth. “When you hold your grandchild,” he said, “you aren’t judging hair or wrinkles—you’re beholding a miracle. See yourself that way.” The practice, he explained, is to look with the eyes of Love at every being, including oneself, until perception aligns with truth.

Celinda contributed insights on the difference between knowing and understanding, connecting it to her physical condition, kyphosis, which she related to beliefs like “life is hard” and “there’s too much to do.” Ryce guided her to breathe into the tightened muscles of her back, giving them permission to release stored emotional energy. “The body is elastic,” he said, “and when you allow yourself to enter those spaces with your breath, you can embrace what’s there and let the bones return to where they belong.” He identified the breath as the “sword that cuts the Gordian knot”—the bold, single act that dissolves impossibly complex entanglements of thought, emotion, and history. Where analysis fails, breath restores simplicity and wholeness.

The conversation concluded with a profound exchange about the Aramaic meaning of Yeshua’s teachings. When asked about the phrase, “I am the way, the truth, and the life—no one comes to the Father but through me,” Ryce explained that in Aramaic it refers not to exclusivity but to example. The term means “first begotten,” not “only begotten,” signifying Yeshua as the first to open full integration with the Creator—not the only one capable of doing so. He reminded listeners that Yeshua himself said, “The things I do, you can do also.” In Aramaic understanding, “a man and his teaching are one,” so the saying refers to his teaching as the way, not his ego or person. Ryce lamented how fear-based religion turned that truth into hierarchy and control, installing “chains in the minds of men” instead of offering liberation. He closed by reading from the introduction of Jeanie Ryce’s upcoming book Healing Generations: One Breath at a Time, describing it as the restoration of the living Aramaic wisdom that unveils true healing through forgiveness and breath.

Ryce ended the broadcast with his signature reminder that the essence of the work is experiential, not theoretical—that every breath is an invitation to return to Being.
