September 1, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM) continues guiding listeners through the daily Course in Miracles workbook lesson while reinforcing the central theme that perception is internally generated rather than externally caused. He emphasizes that negative emotions serve as an alarm system, indicating that the mind is operating from misperception. Drawing from the ACIM lesson and Pam Grout’s commentary, Tim highlights forgiveness as a pathway to happiness, explaining that forgiveness is not about pardoning wrongdoing but about recognizing that no external event has the power to injure one’s true nature. He discusses how believing others can harm us disconnects us from what he calls the “life force” or creative energy that naturally extends love. Tim reiterates that healing begins by accepting responsibility for one’s interpretations and emotional responses. When individuals understand that they create their emotional experience through thought and meaning-making, they reclaim the ability to dismantle fear, guilt, resentment, and anger. The Reality Management Worksheet is presented as a practical tool to examine and correct internal perception errors. Tim encourages callers to actively apply the tools rather than passively absorb ideas, stressing that willingness is the essential ingredient in healing. The overall message centers on radical internal responsibility, the transformative power of forgiveness, and the recognition that love is our inherent state when misperception is cleared.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/0vIoIuY_hYI September 1, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again) deepens the conversation by unpacking the mechanics of first century Aramaic forgiveness, particularly the canceling of goals as the driver of perceptual healing. He explains that perception is a constructed output of the brain, referencing research suggesting that massive neural activity is filtered down to a tiny fragment of usable data, which the mind assembles into what appears to be an external reality. According to Ryce, this selection process is driven by goals loaded into the mind. When a goal resonates unresolved pain stored in memory—whether personal or generational—the resulting perceptual construct includes that pain and falsely attributes it to current circumstances. Aramaic forgiveness, rooted in the term “Shabag” meaning to cancel, involves identifying and canceling the specific goal fueling the painful perception. When the goal is canceled, the perceptual construct collapses, much like a building imploding into its own footprint, allowing access to the underlying energetic content that had been hidden beneath the story. Rather than letting others “off the hook,” this process dissolves the internal energy pattern generating suffering. Ryce contrasts this with Greek-influenced forgiveness concepts that focus on pardoning external offenders. He emphasizes that true healing requires dismantling the energetic roots stored in the body-mind system, including multi-generational imprints. Through direct access to this underlying energy, individuals can process and release it rather than perpetuate projection. The discussion reinforces the precision and practicality of Yeshua’s teachings as a physiological technology for collapsing false perception and restoring clarity.

September 2, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM) In this first hour, Tim Hayes continues exploring A Course in Miracles workbook teachings, centering on the theme that perception is a self-made substitute for direct awareness of truth. He reinforces that what we call perception is constructed through interpretation and filtered through personal history and belief systems. Tim emphasizes that emotional upset is never caused by external circumstances but arises from internally generated meaning. He encourages listeners to view negative emotional states as signals indicating mistaken perception rather than evidence of outside wrongdoing. Drawing from the workbook lesson and related commentary, he explains that forgiveness restores clarity by dismantling the belief that someone or something outside oneself has the power to injure or diminish one’s true being. Tim highlights that the ego thrives on building convincing but false cases that distort perception based on how we want situations to unfold. When individuals recognize this distorting power of preference and attachment, they can begin to question their conclusions. The Reality Management Worksheet is again presented as a disciplined way to examine thought patterns and reclaim authorship over emotional experience. Tim invites listeners to use willingness as a catalyst for transformation, reminding them that joy and peace are natural outcomes when internal correction replaces projection. The overall focus remains on reclaiming responsibility for perception and embracing forgiveness as a practical path to happiness.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/M55BvM73aVA September 2, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again) elaborates further on the canceling-of-goals component of first century Aramaic forgiveness and integrates it with insights from A Course in Miracles. He discusses how desire and preference distort perception, explaining that whenever the mind insists on a specific outcome, that insistence filters incoming data to support the desired narrative. Quoting ACIM’s teaching about the “distorting power of what you want,” Ryce illustrates how goals recruit stored energetic content from the body-mind database, shaping perception around unresolved material. He describes the ego not as a mystical force but as accumulated multi-generational memory patterns stored within the physiology. These patterns are activated when current circumstances resonate similar frequencies. Ryce clarifies that pain does not originate in present events but in internal energy patterns that have been dissociated from conscious awareness. He distinguishes dissociation from suppression, explaining that dissociated content is no longer directly accessible and instead expresses itself indirectly through perception. When individuals believe external events are the cause of their pain, they remain trapped in denial and projection. Aramaic forgiveness invites the canceling of the goal driving the perception so that the construct collapses and the underlying energy becomes available for healing. He reiterates that true forgiveness is not pardoning others but dismantling internal energetic drivers. The process restores alignment with coherent perception and allows the mind to function without distortion. Ryce frames Yeshua’s teaching as a precise psychological and physiological technology for undoing fear and releasing stored memory patterns that generate suffering.

September 3, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM) opens by reviewing the Course in Miracles workbook lesson for the day, focusing on the idea that loving the Creator is inseparable from loving the Creator’s offspring. He emphasizes that holding hatred or grievance blocks awareness of one’s true nature and interrupts alignment with the creative life force. Drawing from the workbook and Pam Grout’s reflections, Tim explains that forgiveness is not submission or condoning harmful behavior, but a recognition that no external force has the power to injure the true self. He discusses how anger and blame disconnect individuals from joy and inner guidance, reinforcing the ACIM premise that suffering results from mistaken thought rather than external cause. Tim also shares reflections from support group discussions and related teachings, including themes echoed by Guy Finley and other consciousness teachers, highlighting that when one lives from higher awareness, fear and hostility dissolve. Negative emotions are reframed as indicators that perception has drifted from truth. Through the Reality Management Worksheet and consistent self-observation, individuals can dismantle distorted interpretations and restore clarity. The overall tone centers on responsibility, willingness, and the practical application of forgiveness as a way to experience greater peace, coherence, and alignment with one’s true being.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/_JFcRjNRyMA September 3, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again) continues exploring the mechanics of first century Aramaic forgiveness, emphasizing that goals drive perception and that hostility or fear signals a perceptual distortion. He references A Course in Miracles to highlight how desire shapes and distorts what the mind constructs, explaining that when we insist on a particular outcome, perception filters reality to match that insistence. Ryce clarifies that what many call the “ego” is simply the accumulated multi-generational memory stored within the body-mind system. When current events resonate stored pain, that energy is recruited into perception and falsely attributed to the present moment. He refines his earlier language about suppression, explaining that the correct term is dissociation: once an energetic pattern is dissociated, it cannot be directly accessed and instead expresses indirectly through projection. The key to healing lies in recognizing denial—thinking or speaking as though something outside oneself is the cause of internal movement. Aramaic forgiveness, rooted in canceling the goal driving the perception, collapses the false construct and exposes the underlying energy for processing. Ryce underscores that true forgiveness does not involve letting others off the hook but removing the internal pattern generating suffering. He frames Yeshua’s teachings as an exact psychological and physiological technology for undoing fear, dismantling corrupt data in memory, and restoring coherent perception aligned with truth.

September 6, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM) this Labor Day broadcast, Tim Hayes reflects on the Course in Miracles workbook lessons focused on forgiveness and the ending of suffering. He revisits recent lessons emphasizing that whatever suffers is not the true self and that forgiveness brings an end to suffering and loss. Drawing from the workbook and Pam Grout’s commentary, Tim highlights Nelson Mandela as a living example of forgiveness in action, illustrating how forgiveness transforms both the forgiver and the collective environment. He underscores that forgiveness is the recognition that one’s true nature cannot be harmed, and that resentment only perpetuates internal conflict. Tim also discusses emotional healing modalities, including references to releasing trapped emotions and the role of willingness in healing. He connects these ideas to the broader theme that suffering arises from internal interpretations and stored emotional energy rather than from external events. By using tools such as the Reality Management Worksheet and consistent self-examination, individuals can release blocked emotional patterns and restore clarity. The hour centers on the transformative power of forgiveness as a lived practice, inviting listeners to question inherited beliefs about victimhood and to embrace responsibility for their internal state as the path to freedom and joy.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/29nn1mnMV5U September 6, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again) announces the launch of a structured monthly MindShifters and StillPoint Breathing membership program designed to deepen participants’ skill in using Aramaic forgiveness tools. He outlines the format, which includes a full-day workshop on the second Saturday of each month followed by a midweek integration session, along with instructional videos and expanding MindShifter databases. Ryce explains the purpose behind the MindShifter process, inviting participants to select statements that surface hidden energetic content for healing. He describes how this structured approach supports the ongoing dismantling of perceptual distortions rooted in stored memory patterns. The conversation reinforces the central principle that perception is shaped by goals and internal data, and that healing occurs through consistent application of forgiveness technology. Ryce also reflects on the evolution of the work from decades of in-person travel workshops to an online format, emphasizing accessibility and continuity of support. He reiterates that Why Is This Happening To Me Again? remains available as a free resource and encourages listeners to engage with the tools actively rather than passively consuming information. The hour blends logistical updates with philosophical grounding, reaffirming that the MindShifters and StillPoint Breathing practices are practical mechanisms for collapsing false perception, accessing stored energetic patterns, and restoring alignment with coherent awareness.

September 7, 2021 – First Hour (ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes) opens the show reflecting on A Course in Miracles Lesson 250, “Let me not see myself as limited,” using Pam Grout’s Course in Miracles Experiment to illustrate how perception is a choice. He likens thought selection to swiping right or left in a dating app, emphasizing that we choose which thoughts and interpretations to “hook up with.” He reinforces that our thoughts shape perception and that false beliefs about unworthiness or limitation drive behavior until they are consciously dismantled. Drawing connections to Dr. Bradley Nelson’s Emotion Code and other self-inquiry tools, Tim explains how trapped emotional energies resonate within the system and influence reactions. He outlines a simplified five-step version of the Reality Management Worksheet, encouraging listeners to identify emotions, uncover the thoughts and unmet goals generating them, cancel those goals, and breathe into a loving state. The focus remains on practical application: by releasing false beliefs and resonant emotional patterns, individuals shift perception and experience life more directly and peacefully.
YouTube for 1st hour https://youtu.be/31uPUjWBn8U September 7, 2021 – Second Hour (Why Again with Dr. Michael Ryce) begins with Jeanie facilitating discussion around the Women Healing Women intensive and the powerful “Angel Wash” exercise, where participants offer affirming energy and spoken blessings to one another. The conversation moves into deep healing dynamics, including experiences of sexual abuse survivors confronting trauma within a safe, held space. Michael joins to address questions about the AVACEN medical device and its role in improving circulation and cellular oxygenation, particularly in post-COVID recovery. He emphasizes physiological healing through improved blood flow and oxygen delivery, framing it as consistent with the broader principle that health involves restoring circulation and vitality at the cellular level. The discussion blends practical medical application with emotional and spiritual healing principles, highlighting how unresolved trauma can surface in safe community settings and how healing occurs when individuals remain present and willing to process. Throughout, Michael reinforces that restoration happens by supporting the body’s natural design and removing impediments to vitality. YouTube for 2nd hour https://youtu.be/xYocL7mYvek |

September 8, 2021 – First Hour (ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes) continues exploring A Course in Miracles lessons centered on releasing self-judgment and recognizing the false identity constructed by fear-based thinking. He emphasizes that the egoic mind manufactures a story of separation and limitation, and that healing begins with willingness to question those narratives. Drawing from ACIM principles and practical tools like the Reality Management Worksheet, he reminds listeners that thoughts are optional and that suffering stems from attachment to interpretations rather than events themselves. He encourages active participation in undoing perception by identifying recurring emotional patterns and tracing them back to unexamined beliefs. Through gentle humor and consistent reinforcement, Tim frames forgiveness as a shift in perception rather than a moral act, guiding listeners toward awareness of their inherent wholeness beyond conditioned thought.
YouTube for 1st hour https://youtu.be/3tVV5_9seYI September 8, 2021 – Second Hour (Why Again with Dr. Michael Ryce) expands on the mechanics of perception as constructed output from carbon-based memory, explaining how unresolved generational patterns drive automatic responses. He revisits the foundational teaching that perception is an internally generated construct and that forgiveness, in its Aramaic meaning, is the removal of the content that distorts perception. The discussion includes examples of how unprocessed trauma replays through relationships and how canceling goals collapses projected realities. Michael emphasizes breath as the regulating force that restores coherence to physiology and awareness. He reinforces that healing is not about fixing the outside world but about dismantling the internal energetic drivers that shape perception. The hour highlights responsibility as empowerment, inviting listeners to reclaim their creative capacity through conscious breath and self-observation.

September 9, 2021 – First Hour (ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes) continues unpacking ACIM lessons that address the illusion of separation and the habit of judging self and others. He explains that projection is the mechanism by which the ego attempts to escape discomfort by assigning cause externally. Using real-life examples from callers and personal reflection, he illustrates how the mind generates stress through interpretation. He reinforces that forgiveness in ACIM is the release of false perception and that peace arises naturally when one ceases defending an identity rooted in fear. Tim again references the five-step worksheet model, encouraging listeners to identify emotions, examine the thoughts driving them, cancel goals, and consciously choose loving awareness. The emphasis remains on practical daily application rather than abstract theology.
YouTube for 1st hour https://youtu.be/oaVGXavcdKs September 9, 2021 – Second Hour (Why Again with Dr. Michael Ryce) delves deeper into projection and externalization, clarifying that what one experiences as “out there” is filtered through unresolved internal content. He discusses how hostility and fear operate as energetic filters that distort perception, and how Rakhma, active Love, functions as the restoring filter when engaged. Michael explains that healing requires willingness to face one’s own stored content rather than attempting to change others. Breath is again emphasized as the doorway to restoring physiological coherence, allowing buried material to surface safely. Through examples and dialogue, he reinforces that canceling goals dissolves the energetic charge behind projections and reopens access to clarity. The hour centers on experiential responsibility as the path to freedom from repeated painful patterns. YouTube for 2nd hour https://youtu.be/acnUzgWA3Rc |

September 10, 2021 – First Hour (ACIM with Dr. Tim Hayes) focuses on ACIM teachings that dismantle the concept of personal guilt and inherited unworthiness. He emphasizes that the ego thrives on comparison and judgment, creating a constant sense of inadequacy. Through references to workbook lessons and practical exercises, he invites listeners to experiment with releasing attack thoughts and noticing the shift in internal experience. He highlights that peace is not something to achieve but something revealed when defensive thinking subsides. The conversation includes discussion about habitual emotional reactions and the importance of pausing before engaging them. Tim reiterates that awareness combined with willingness transforms perception, guiding listeners toward a more stable experience of inner peace.
YouTube for 1st hour https://youtu.be/aGrN-fstgjk September 10, 2021 – Second Hour (Why Again with Dr. Michael Ryce) reinforces the distinction between actuality and perception, explaining that most human suffering arises from mistaking internally generated images for external reality. He reviews the role of generational patterns and how unhealed trauma shapes thought structures that drive behavior. The conversation includes practical examples of using the forgiveness process to dismantle recurring emotional triggers. Michael emphasizes that healing involves restoring alignment with the Breath and allowing physiological regulation to return the system to coherence. He reiterates that the work is experiential and requires application rather than intellectual agreement. The hour closes with encouragement to remain engaged in daily practice, recognizing that consistent use of the tools gradually restructures perception and restores access to Love as one’s essential nature.

September 13, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) In this episode, Tim Hayes continues emphasizing the practical application of A Course in Miracles teachings through the use of the Reality Management Worksheet. He reinforces that negative emotions are not caused by external circumstances but are indicators that perception is distorted by hidden goals or unresolved internal content. The workbook lesson focus encourages willingness to question long-held beliefs and to actively apply forgiveness rather than merely discuss spiritual principles. Tim reminds listeners that free will cannot be overridden; peace requires conscious choice. He shares how defending anger or clinging to being right perpetuates suffering, while surrendering attachment to perception allows healing to unfold. The show underscores daily disciplined practice, encouraging listeners to turn every upset into guidance toward correction and alignment with love.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/y4WylK4EuQI September 13, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In the second hour, Michael and Jeanie engage callers in deep exploration of forgiveness as an internal process rather than pardoning. The discussion centers on punishment patterns, denial, and the unconscious ways people withdraw, isolate, or suppress rage. Michael explains that true forgiveness involves going inside to remove the root of hostility and fear, not simply letting someone “off the hook.” The conversation highlights generational patterns stored in physiology and the importance of acknowledging hidden rage to dissolve it. Jeanie discusses how emotional content may crystallize in the body and surface during healing, often releasing suppressed memories or cravings. The episode stresses honesty with oneself, recognizing internal punishment strategies, and addressing root causes rather than surface behaviors. Healing is framed as pulling weeds out by the roots rather than trimming the tops. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/sYPRZR6CnVs |

September 14, 2021, offers a transformative discussion centered on the concept of forgiveness, healing, and living in alignment with one’s authentic self as a being of love. The host reflects on the distorted definitions of forgiveness propagated by cultural and philosophical misinterpretations. Instead of releasing others from blame, forgiveness is described as a personal tool to dismantle internal feelings of hostility and fear, fostering an awakened connection to love—the core of human existence. The teachings of Yeshua are revisited, emphasizing the importance of collapsing false self-perceptions and generational patterns to return to one’s essence.
Lesson 257: “Let me remember what my purpose is.” Newsletter went out – if you are not on our mailing list go to website scroll down to the bottom and sign up. Past Newsletters can be accessed at https://whyagain.org/newsletters/ Why Again reading – File Folder Effect – drug yourself to not feel (caffeine, nicotine, busy-ness, sugar – common drugs) Generational patterns that make up the false self. 31 people in just 4 generations. The episode delves deeply into the practices of MindShifters and Still Point Breathing, which are presented as tools for accessing a “near-life experience.” This term reframes the idea of awakening to one’s true, love-driven nature by releasing the cultural and familial hostilities ingrained over generations. Through anecdotes and audience questions, the host illustrates the transformative power of forgiveness applied inwardly, rather than externally, to achieve clarity, healing, and joy. An email from a lady, she wants to do this work and teach it, but it is not paying her bills so she has moved back in with her parents to support her financially so she can do her ‘purpose’ and she does not understand why it is not working for her and why her parents are frustrated at her. I told her to get a job to pay her bills while she builds her clientele. Asked michael how this works and what can she do? michael shared you have to forgive the belief that spiritual work meant living in poverty. He shared the story when he had the breakthrough. It took about 7 years for michael to shift to abundance belief. That was 39 years ago. Still waiting on your ship to come in? Which one did you send out? Forgive the generational pattern of poverty, deserving and worthiness. Financial and spiritual growth is explored through a personal story of scarcity and abundance, demonstrating the relationship between forgiveness, trust, and shifting energy dynamics. The host recounts their journey from poverty to abundance in spiritual work, emphasizing that internal shifts can realign external realities. Listeners are encouraged to confront and forgive internal beliefs tied to poverty, worthiness, or other limitations, using tools available through workshops and resources like the book “Why Is This Happening to Me Again?” What is most important in the Law? Y’Shua said you must keep the gateway open to Rakhma when you think of God, neighbor or self. Share what our friend told us his daughter told them when she was 3. Mom, Dad and she met before in heaven and they gave each other a piece of their hearts and then she was born here with them. Power in a true integrous relationship. Satisfaction not satiation. People can focus on the loss and death and failure or open their eyes to the opportunity that comes with change. Jeanie thanked those who listened yesterday and sent her notes of praise. It was a segment of a Women Healing Women intensive. Caller Roma, impressed that michael had the guts and courage to step forward and follow guidance. Her cat actually fussed around the phone until she joined the show. Animals tap into the energy of StillPoint. Teilhard de Chardin: “Joy is (the awareness of) the infallible sign of the presence of God.” The episode also highlights the importance of recognizing generational influences on personal struggles and breaking free from them through forgiveness. The conversation broadens to discuss how these practices apply universally, including relationships, health, and other areas of life. The show ends with an uplifting vision of a world where everyone awakens to their essence of love, applying forgiveness as a daily practice to remove anything less than love from their lives.

September 15, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) On this day, Tim Hayes reflects on ACIM Lesson 258, “Let me remember that my goal is God,” interpreting it as remembering union with Source rather than pursuing trivial aims. He speaks about willingness as the essential factor in healing and dismantling distorted perception. Negative emotion is described as an alarm system signaling misalignment. Tim challenges listeners to question whether anger truly serves them or simply reinforces illusion. He shares examples from support groups demonstrating how canceling goals reveals hidden internal content generating rage. The message centers on empowerment through active use of the worksheet and recognizing that healing requires applying tools rather than defending emotional positions.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/B4SObbTfNPo September 15, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In this hour, Michael reads from Chapter 17 of Why Is This Happening to Me Again? discussing “The Body Has a Mind of Its Own.” He explains that what most call thinking is often resonance from stored generational content. The body-mind system carries energetic patterns that surface automatically, and healing requires conscious intervention through forgiveness. Michael emphasizes empowerment as uncovering inner capacity rather than gaining something externally. The conversation touches on DNA memory, generational hostility and fear patterns, and the necessity of conscious mind “gardening.” The show concludes by inviting listeners to lend both their ears and voices to conversations grounded in love rather than cultural insanity.

September 16, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) On this broadcast, Tim covers ACIM Lesson 259, “Let me remember that there is no sin.” He reframes sin as mistaken perception rather than moral failure, emphasizing that guilt and punishment arise from distorted thought. Drawing from Pam Grout and spiritual teachers, Tim encourages releasing grudges that weigh down perception. He shares his gratitude for donating time to this work, noting that teaching strengthens learning. The episode focuses on removing internal blocks to love and recognizing identity as an expression of Source. Healing is described as dismantling false conclusions so one can consciously live as love.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/G1nYbdWQLBo September 16, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In this session, Michael begins Chapter 18, “Clarifying Love.” He explains that love is not a verb but a state of Being. Attempting to “do love” while fear is active creates impossibility. He introduces the Aramaic concept of Rakhma as a neurological filter that keeps intentions aligned with love. Using the newborn analogy, he illustrates that humans are not loving but are love itself. Healing requires maintaining alignment with one’s essence while forgiving fear-based distortions. The episode explores how words shape perception and how mistranslation has obscured original teachings. Living as love becomes the central aim. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/_iEBk2iy82M |

September 17, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) During this show, Tim discusses ACIM Lesson 260, “Let me remember that God created me.” He emphasizes identity as Source-created rather than self-made. Drawing on Pam Grout’s reflections, he speaks about abundance consciousness and removing internal limits. Callers explore forgiveness in practical life situations, including recurring emotional triggers and perceptions of helplessness. Tim reiterates that external events can be used as opportunities for inner healing. Perception creates experience, and willingness to question perception restores alignment with truth. The episode reinforces personal responsibility and conscious participation in healing.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/99s97t2THD0 September 17, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In the final hour of this series, Michael discusses inner versus outer support, emphasizing that God is not watching “from a distance” but from within. He and a caller explore ancestral healing and becoming a “good ancestor,” transforming generational hostility and fear. Michael reinforces that each individual who faces and forgives internal distortions alters the energetic tide for future generations. The conversation touches on Being versus mind-based living and the courage required to move through inherited realities. Empowerment is framed as living from essence rather than conditioned thought. The episode closes with encouragement to expand awareness and hold space for healing beyond one’s immediate lifetime. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/gRfNhY9quY8 |

September 20, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) In the first hour, Dr. Tim Hayes centered the discussion on the teachings of A Course in Miracles, emphasizing that the body and the perception of separation were constructed as defenses against the direct experience of love. He explained that what people believe is safety—identifying with the body and separation—is actually a barrier to recognizing their true nature. The lesson material reinforced that the body can be repurposed as a tool for healing rather than separation when aligned with love and forgiveness. Hayes highlighted workbook lessons focused on recognizing unity, releasing the illusion of differences, and understanding that true refuge and security come from identifying with the Creator’s love rather than external constructs. The overall theme encouraged listeners to question their identification with the body and to use awareness and forgiveness to return to the experience of wholeness and shared being.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/WTsyDC8zO-I September 20, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In the second hour, Dr. Michael Ryce and Jeanie Ryce explored the foundational Aramaic understanding of thought, language, and perception, emphasizing how words shape reality and behavior. Michael discussed how culturally conditioned hostility and fear distort thinking and communication, leading to patterns of intimidation and conflict in personal, political, and religious arenas. He explained that words carry energetic power and that destructive language reinforces fear-based perception, which then manifests in behavior. The conversation invited listeners to examine their internal dialogue and recognize how thought patterns rooted in hostility or fear drive their experiences. By applying forgiveness as a tool to remove these internal distortions, individuals can shift perception and access a more accurate experience of actuality rather than reacting from conditioned patterns.

September 21, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) In the first hour, Tim Hayes focused on the ACIM lesson affirming that we are surrounded by the love of the Creator. He emphasized that love is not distant or conditional but present in every breath, heartbeat, sound, and relationship. Drawing from the workbook and Pam Grout’s commentary, he explored the tendency to settle for less than the abundance available to us, comparing that tendency to self-imposed limitation and resistance to receiving good. He encouraged listeners to notice how often they reject support, grace, or joy because of old patterns of unworthiness. The overall message was that when one allows the mind to rest in the Creator’s presence rather than in self-attack or scarcity, a larger experience of life becomes available.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/a5wRmKBtnJY September 21, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In the second hour, Michael Ryce built on the ACIM lesson “What Is the World?” and made a strong distinction between the lowercase “world” of perception and the uppercase “World” of actuality. He explained that what most people call the world is actually a construct of carbon-based memory, generated from the past and projected into current perception. He emphasized that the mind uses internal content to build images that appear external, which is why different people can experience the same event so differently. Michael tied this to the first century Aramaic forgiveness process, explaining that when goals are canceled, the perceptual construct can collapse and underlying content becomes available for healing. The hour centered on the need to differentiate actuality from projection and to clean up the internally generated “world” so one can experience the true World more directly.

September 22, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) Tim Hayes used the ACIM lesson on seeing only creation’s gentleness to emphasize that what appears threatening or hostile in the world is often a reflection of the mind’s own unresolved content. Drawing from the lesson and Pam Grout’s reflections on grievance and resentment, he highlighted how easily the mind clings to stories that justify upset. He invited listeners to question whether what they fear is truly outside them or whether it originates in the mind. The emphasis was on forgiveness as a way to release perception shaped by past pain and to return to a gentler, more truthful seeing. The hour encouraged surrendering grievances so that the love already present in creation can be recognized.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/JJgADYh0hMw September 22, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) Michael Ryce spent the second hour reinforcing that true healing comes from removing internal pain rather than blaming outside events for it. He spoke with Susan about personal healing, family dynamics, and the return of her son Jacob to a more authentic and kind state of mind. Michael highlighted humility as the capacity to see the highest and best in another, and he explained that this kind of seeing is possible only when one is not trapped in personal pain, fear, or projection. He also revisited the importance of words and thought structures, explaining that language either supports truth or reinforces false realities. The hour focused on dismantling internal distortions, recognizing how unresolved pain shapes relationships, and using forgiveness as the hammer and chisel that removes what is not true.

September 23, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) Tim Hayes continued with the ACIM lesson affirming that the holy self abides in each brother and sister. He stressed that every relationship can serve as a mirror and a path to healing when viewed through forgiveness rather than judgment. Using Pam Grout’s commentary and Byron Katie’s questions, he explored how the mind labels others as irritants or obstacles while ignoring the opportunity for self-correction they provide. The lesson invited listeners to see others not as threats but as reminders of their shared source and shared holiness. Tim’s emphasis was on releasing knee-jerk judgment and allowing relationships to reveal the presence of the Creator rather than the ego’s grievances.

Michael referred listeners back to the central question of how they define love and invited them to write down their own definition. The discussion emphasized that distorted definitions of love lead to distorted choices, especially in relationships, and that healing requires clarifying love as a state of being rather than an emotional transaction or dependency. Jeanie also reviewed app and website resources, emphasizing that the forgiveness tools were available in multiple forms and encouraging listeners to use them actively rather than merely thinking about them. The conversation pointed toward love as the core of human life and the basis for all authentic healing. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/w0O_GRTFbhw |

September 24, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) In this first hour, Tim Hayes centered on the ACIM lesson that the heart is beating in the peace of God. He framed peace not as an ideal to someday reach but as the actual substance in which life unfolds when one stops resisting it. Drawing from the workbook and Pam Grout’s reflections on extreme good fortune, he encouraged listeners to notice how often they overlook blessings and default to vigilance, complaint, or scarcity. He described forgiveness as the route back to a settled awareness of being held in peace. The overall message was that each breath and heartbeat can be recognized as participation in divine peace if one stops defending against it.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/3ZBSXPlXrUw September 24, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) Michael Ryce and Jeanie used this hour to review website resources, self-study tools, and opportunities for deeper healing work. Michael also spoke about the impact of lifestyle choices on the body-mind system, noting that many people want deep healing while continuing patterns that dull awareness and numb feeling. He discussed food, stimulants, and numbing strategies as ways people avoid internal work, and he suggested that if a person is truly ready to heal, they will increasingly recognize how their habits either support life or suppress it. The broader theme was that healing is not merely conceptual but involves practical choices about how one lives, eats, breathes, and processes stress. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/p7ij2JcY3CU |

September 27, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) Since Tim Hayes was unavailable live, Jeanie introduced and played an interview Tim had done with Mira Rubin. The conversation focused on deep transformational work, fluidity in process, and the importance of not locking identity down with rigid language or judgment. Rubin described her work as an evolution of NLP, hypnosis, and other-than-conscious transformation, while Tim reflected on how fluidity and openness allow buried content to surface and be released. The interview underscored the danger of fixed identity statements and the value of staying open to discovery rather than defining oneself in limiting ways. It fit naturally with the MindShifters emphasis on healing through awareness and the removal of judgment.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/wD3QEHv8TjY September 27, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) In the second hour, Michael reflected on work he had done with a private group and expanded on generational pain and energetic inheritance. He described the body-mind as an energetic device that stores frequencies from past generations and explained that when people say, “You made me feel this,” they are denying the internal source of their pain. Michael reinforced that perception is generated internally from stored patterns and that unhealed family pain becomes the material from which the mind builds its realities. The hour stressed that forgiveness is the means by which these energetic imprints can be dissolved so future generations are not governed by the same unresolved content.

September 28, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) Tim Hayes revisited recent workbook lessons, especially “Let all things be exactly as they are,” and linked them to the Way of Mastery teaching that all events are neutral. He emphasized that suffering comes from the mind’s insistence that life unfold according to personal preference rather than according to what is. By resisting reality, the mind generates tension and grievance. By accepting what is present without overlaying it with demand, the mind opens to peace and clearer perception. Tim encouraged listeners to stop trying to force creation into conformity with personal wishes and instead use each event as a doorway to deeper awareness.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/1PQuj-rsnTE September 28, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) Michael began the second hour talking from the garden and quickly moved into the subject of life, circulation, and energy. He emphasized that life is love flowing through a cell and that anything inhibiting that flow contributes to disease and disorder. He challenged the common assumption that the body is merely physical, citing Einstein and Max Planck to argue that what we call matter is actually energy. He explained that thoughts become energetic patterns in the system and that hate, fear, guilt, and grief are precursors to disease because they disrupt life flow. He also revisited the Aramaic meaning of sin as missing the mark and framed healing as returning energy to its proper alignment through forgiveness and conscious awareness.

September 29, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) In this ACIM hour, Tim Hayes focused on the lesson asking how illusions could ever satisfy the Creator’s offspring. He discussed how premature cognitive commitments and habitual interpretations distort reality and cause people to defend stories that do not serve them. Drawing from Pam Grout’s commentary, he encouraged listeners to recognize knee-jerk conclusions as barriers to truth and to let go of the belief that illusions can provide safety or fulfillment. The hour emphasized that only truth satisfies and that freedom grows as one questions the assumptions that shape perception. Forgiveness was again presented as the means of clearing away illusion so the mind can rest in what is real.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/ILISOIkBUxQ September 29, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) Michael and Jeanie used the second hour to explore present-moment awareness and the difference between pure experience and the thoughts layered onto experience. Jeanie and Ann discussed examples such as bodily sensations and interpersonal reactions, illustrating how quickly the mind adds meaning and conflict to what is initially just an experience. The conversation emphasized staying in the now rather than immediately moving into reactive story-making. Jeanie highlighted that when people close their eyes, breathe, and stay with direct experience, they can often avoid building unnecessary distress. The hour connected this present-centered awareness with breathwork and with the worksheet process, showing how both help uncover and release the mind’s interpretive distortions.

September 30, 2021 – Tim Hayes (ACIM Hour) Tim Hayes centered the discussion on the lesson affirming that the stillness of the peace of God is ours. He explored stillness not as passivity but as the underlying state available when old patterns are forgiven and released. Drawing from Pam Grout, he described forgiveness as the means for wiping away no-longer-useful patterns of thought. The emphasis was on recognizing how much of distress comes from recycled mental habits and how peace becomes accessible when those habits are not reinforced. The hour invited listeners to believe that stillness is already present and can be returned to at any moment through willingness and practice.
YouTube 1st hour https://youtu.be/bQ683FzXSwk September 30, 2021 – Michael Ryce (Why Again Hour) Michael Ryce closed the month by returning to the automatic decision system, generational patterns, and the importance of exposing unconscious voices that drive behavior. He continued reading from Why Is This Happening to Me Again? in the chapter on clarifying love, explaining how false perception and denial keep people trapped in inherited pain. He reinforced that each person’s automatic reactions are shaped by different generational material, which is why the same event evokes such different responses in different individuals. The discussion centered on opening these unconscious processes to awareness and using forgiveness to remove painful content that never belonged. Michael presented this as the key to freedom from generational suffering and the restoration of conscious choice. YouTube 2nd hour https://youtu.be/M21vBOoVZXA |
