September 1, 2023 episode of MindShifters Radio, Jeanie opened the show with a discussion on natural health remedies, particularly emphasizing the use of oregano oil (specifically P73) as a powerful antibacterial agent. She referenced a high school science project that demonstrated oregano oil’s superiority over amoxicillin in killing bacteria, highlighting it as an alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Jeanie shared her past experience working for a penicillin company, revealing the dangerous toxicity of these environments and the long-term health concerns associated with prolonged antibiotic use. She emphasized that while drugs may help stabilize a condition, they never cure the underlying issue. Jeanie encouraged listeners to explore the health resources available on their website, which include various natural cleanses and healing protocols.

Michael Ryce then joined the show, reinforcing the idea that “every drug is a disease disguised as a cure.” He cited Hippocrates’ wisdom on food and healing, criticizing the degradation of soil and commercial agriculture, especially the widespread use of glyphosate, which he linked to disease and corruption in global food systems. He emphasized that healing requires vital, nutrient-rich food and an environment that supports life, not toxic chemicals. Ryce elaborated on how healing works on all levels—physiological, mental, and energetic—and urged listeners to eliminate the factors that deplete vitality while increasing what strengthens it. He pointed out that mind energy—what we think and carry internally—becomes flesh, stressing the importance of personal responsibility in the healing process.

The conversation deepened when a caller, Lucy, asked Michael about processing energetic constructs without collapsing into pain. Michael explained that perception is built from carbon-based memory, and if that perception causes pain, there is a stored energy that needs to be accessed directly—not through projection or denial. He clarified that Aramaic forgiveness involves canceling goals that drive painful perceptions, which collapses the projection and exposes the stored energy for release. Sometimes cognitive memory surfaces, but even without it, the body can process and dissolve the pain if approached with willingness and the active presence of love. He expanded on the function of “Rukha d’Koodsha,” an Aramaic term for the feminine elemental force within us that undoes errors and restores truth, provided we are willing to release what no longer serves us.

Michael also discussed the evolving nature of his work, particularly the expansion of the Power Person worksheet from one page to 14. This tool helps individuals identify behavioral patterns inherited from early authority figures. Jeanie contributed a personal example, revealing that although she initially thought her mother was her Power Person, it was actually her father whose behavior—specifically leaving when stress arose—she replicated. They explained that Power Person dynamics vary by life area (e.g., finances, relationships) and that when stress is high, we tend to copy the behavior of the person who had control in survival-based situations.

Toward the end of the show, Susan called in to discuss a support group situation involving a sensitive participant. She shared emotional and logistical challenges and asked Michael to observe an upcoming session. They discussed the importance of honoring each person’s healing process and the need for patience and safety in group dynamics.

Michael concluded with reflections on the power of collective healing, referencing teachings from A Course in Miracles and Yeshua’s emphasis on critical mass. He encouraged listeners to enter the still point, a state of pure willingness and love, to allow deep energetic healing to unfold not just for the individual but for the collective. The show ended with a reminder that touching into love and creating one’s best year is the greatest gift we can offer the world.

September 4, 2023 episode of MindShifters Radio, hosted by Jeanie and Michael Ryce, the show opened with a warm exchange between Susan and Jeanie, featuring gratitude for a gift sent to Arya, who was home for Labor Day and actively playing with a manger scene. Arya’s imaginative storytelling and thoughtful interaction with Susan highlighted the nurturing environment that Jeanie and Michael are cultivating for her. Susan also shared that she had recently completed a powerful worksheet related to a persistent emotional issue tied to a very early life experience. She described participating years ago in a retreat involving breathwork and somatic therapy, where a facilitator simulated a traumatic feeding experience from infancy. Although Susan has no conscious memory of the event, it has deeply affected her and continues to emerge as an unresolved energy.

Susan expressed concern over whether she could fully heal from an issue so deeply embedded in her unconscious memory. Michael reassured her that cognitive recall is not necessary for true healing and that stored energies can be processed even if their origins remain unknown. He recommended using tools like mind shifters, journaling, and direct communication with Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic feminine elemental force that guides inner healing. Together, they crafted a mind shifter focused on safety and security, which could help her explore the energetic roots of her unease. Michael emphasized the importance of being present with discomfort, remaining open, and not forcing the process with the conscious mind, especially when no obvious triggering event is occurring.

Jeanie also contributed by reflecting on the possible stress Susan’s mother may have been under at the time of her birth, suggesting that her abrupt reaction to nursing may have been born from exhaustion rather than rejection. This perspective offered Susan some context and compassion for her mother’s behavior. Susan also shared that in raising her own children, she made a deliberate shift from the silence and emotional repression of her upbringing to encouraging emotional expression. Michael acknowledged her powerful generational healing and the conscious choices she made to parent differently.

The conversation transitioned into a deeper exploration of how unconscious thought patterns and language shape our experiences. Michael discussed how cultural conditioning, particularly through songs and casual phrases, imprints toxic beliefs—such as associating love with pain or death. He cited examples like love songs that normalize despair, grief, and even suicide as responses to heartbreak. Drawing from Aramaic teachings and the original messages of Yeshua, he explained that in the beginning was “mind energy,” not “the word,” and that this mind energy becomes flesh. He emphasized that healing begins by removing toxic unconscious content, often masked by denial and projection, and that forgiveness—as taught in Aramaic—is the tool that collapses perception and reveals the deeper energetic imprint driving our responses.

Michael also revisited the commitment from the Healing Through Relationships workshop, reciting it as a declaration of presence, affection, and responsibility in all interactions. He reminded listeners that being love is not a behavior but a state of being, and that transformation arises from renewing the mind, not controlling the external world. He highlighted the power of conscious language, citing phrases like “that kills me” or “to die for” as energetic seeds planted in the unconscious, shaping how reality unfolds.

As the show closed, a caller named Dusty praised Michael’s talk on self-realization and love, connecting it to the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and the Self-Realization Fellowship. Dusty also affirmed the ongoing nature of inner work, likening it to peeling an onion and calling it the most rewarding journey one can undertake. Michael agreed wholeheartedly, closing the show with gratitude and an invitation for everyone to create the best year yet of their eternal lives.

MindShifter: “Safety and deep security have always been my companion in life, especially in the presence of others rage or abuse.”

Take care of the ‘heart’ for out of it come the issues in life. The heart is the unconscious. Ask and Receive.  Your ‘asker’ is the heart not the mouth. Power of life and death is in our words.

reading of The Way of Mastery lesson 9 continued

September 5, 2023 episode of MindShifters Radio, Michael Ryce opened with a powerful reminder that humanity’s true nature is love, and the healing journey involves removing anything that blocks that awareness. He emphasized that no external situation can dictate our internal state, and that we have the power to shift perception through inner work. Michael recited the commitment from the Healing Through Relationships workshop, which focuses on staying present, conscious, and in the energy of love regardless of what others say or do. He pointed out that instead of reacting based on cultural conditioning or past trauma, we can learn to hold space, forgive, and dissolve false perceptions through the Aramaic forgiveness process.

Michael and Jeanie welcomed Susan to the conversation, and she described being triggered into intense sadness and tears by what she initially thought was an external event. However, upon deeper reflection, she realized the emotional intensity came from a very old, unresolved energetic construct, not from the present moment. Michael guided her through this process, reminding her that tears can be a release of unconscious energy and that this work doesn’t necessarily require cognitive memory. He explained that the body can still resolve the stored energy even when the mind doesn’t remember the originating event, particularly when working with tools like mind shifters, targeted breathing, and journaling in the presence of love.

Susan shared that she often felt she had to “stay on top of it” emotionally, out of fear of getting stuck in pain. Michael explained that this approach, while well-intentioned, can actually hinder healing by activating resistance. He encouraged her instead to allow the energy to move freely without trying to control it, invoking the support of Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic name for the feminine elemental force that facilitates true healing. Jeanie supported this view by describing how holding a child while they cry is an act of pure presence and safety. She invited listeners to consider whether they offer themselves the same grace and space to feel and heal.

The discussion also explored how mind energy becomes flesh, a principle from Aramaic understanding. Michael discussed how our thoughts, especially those we suppress or deny, manifest physically over time. He gave examples of how culturally ingrained phrases like “that breaks my heart” or “to die for” reflect the toxic unconscious content that shapes our reality. He emphasized that through forgiveness—canceling the goals that drive our false perceptions—we begin to access the underlying energetic content and allow it to dissipate, returning us to the conscious presence of love.

Jeanie and Michael reflected on how often people search outside themselves for someone or something to blame for their feelings, rather than owning their internal process. They stressed that while it’s common to attribute pain to others, true healing begins with owning that the trigger is inside us. The Aramaic teachings of Yeshua were brought in to reinforce that each person is responsible for their own healing and perception, and that projecting pain outward keeps us trapped in suffering.

The show closed with encouragement to use the tools consistently and with willingness. Michael highlighted that these tools are not about figuring things out intellectually but about directly accessing and releasing energetic imprints. The process requires courage, willingness, and a return to presence. Both Michael and Jeanie emphasized that choosing to live from love, even when discomfort arises, is the path to freedom and wholeness.

Susan joined the conversation to reflect on her recent process work. She described a deep emotional release she had experienced, involving grief and confusion, which initially seemed connected to her current circumstances but ultimately revealed itself as an energetic imprint from early life. Susan expressed some self-judgment about being “too sensitive” and wondered if she was regressing. Michael responded compassionately, affirming that true healing often involves revisiting buried energies that surface in unexpected ways. He reminded her that when such energies come up, they are coming up to be healed—not to cause harm—and that the presence of Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic feminine force for correction, is always available to support the release of what no longer serves.

Michael explained the idea that perception is constructed out of carbon-based memory and that these perceptual constructs, when painful, indicate there is something within us that we have disowned and projected. He elaborated on the concept that the goal-driven mind creates perception, and when we cancel goals using the Aramaic forgiveness process, the perception collapses, allowing access to the underlying energy for release. Susan shared that she is beginning to understand that her emotional responses may be linked to long-forgotten childhood events or even inherited generational trauma. She expressed hope and relief at the possibility of healing without needing conscious memory of the original pain.

Jeanie contributed insight about the practical aspects of doing the work, affirming that even small moments of upset are opportunities for forgiveness. She encouraged listeners not to overlook the value of these moments, as they often hold the key to deeper healing. Michael agreed and pointed out that a single upset can contain decades or even generations of unresolved energy, and that each willingness to forgive contributes to breaking the chain of suffering. He emphasized the importance of using the tools daily—not as a mental exercise, but as a deep energetic practice.

Toward the end of the show, Michael referenced his work with the Laws of Living and the worksheet tools designed to help people identify their Power Person dynamics, unconscious drivers, and false goals. He reminded listeners that consistent engagement with these tools creates the environment in which healing occurs. The show closed with gratitude for the willingness of those doing the work and a call to remember that love is not a behavior or reaction—it is the essence of our being.

Susan joined the show and shared her experience of applying the work in her daily life. She talked about waking up feeling emotionally off and using her journal to trace her discomfort to a memory of being left behind during a childhood trip. The trigger, she realized, was a deeper pattern of feeling abandoned. Although the memory appeared mild on the surface, it carried unresolved emotional energy. Michael affirmed that such moments are valuable, as they provide access points to deeper healing. He explained that even small, seemingly insignificant experiences can act as doorways to unconscious thought disorders that have been running in the background for years.

Michael spoke at length about how stored energies from early life—even infancy—can resurface as physical or emotional disturbances later in life. He reminded listeners that healing does not depend on remembering every detail of a trauma. Instead, willingness, presence, and the use of the right tools are what allow the energy to be dissolved. He again referenced Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic name for the feminine elemental force of healing, which functions to cleanse, correct, and realign the mind with truth when we stop resisting and become willing to release what no longer serves us.

Jeanie echoed these insights and reminded listeners that everyone has the opportunity to create safety for themselves by choosing to respond with presence instead of reaction. She reflected on her own moments of growth and how judgment, especially toward self or others, only serves to reinforce suffering. She stressed that applying the work consistently over time is what builds new neural pathways and allows deeper healing to take root.

Later in the show, Michael expanded on the concept that perception is not reality, but rather a construct generated from internal data—our beliefs, goals, and stored memories. He emphasized that when an experience triggers emotional pain, it’s not the external event causing it but the internal resonance being brought to the surface. The forgiveness process, therefore, is not about condoning behavior but collapsing the perception so the stored energetic charge can be released. He encouraged listeners to continue doing the work without trying to figure it all out intellectually, as the body and energy field can do the healing when the conscious mind steps out of the way.

The show closed with gratitude for Susan’s vulnerability in sharing her process and a reminder to all listeners that healing is a journey of removing what we are not, so that what we truly are—love—can shine through more clearly and consistently.

Susan joined the show and reflected on a situation that had triggered old abandonment wounds. She described how an offer to help someone had been rejected, and although she responded graciously, she noticed a wave of deep grief surface afterward. Upon exploring it further through journaling and the forgiveness tools, she realized that her upset was not about the current event but rather about earlier life experiences of feeling dismissed and unwanted. Michael affirmed that her process was right on track and emphasized that these layers of pain are stored as energetic constructs, which can be released even without cognitive memory of the original events. He reminded Susan and the audience that when these energetic frequencies arise, they do so for healing, not harm.

Michael explained the physiology behind stress responses and how the nervous system reacts to past unresolved pain as if it were happening in the present. He stressed that the key to dissolving these patterns is willingness—willingness to feel, to breathe, and to allow Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic name for the feminine energy of correction, to operate within us. He spoke of love as an energetic presence that cannot coexist with hostility, fear, or guilt, and encouraged listeners to use the forgiveness process to cancel the goals driving false perceptions. He clarified that this process collapses perception and brings us into contact with what needs to be healed.

Jeanie supported the conversation by sharing that often people don’t realize they’re operating out of past pain because the current situation seems so convincing. She encouraged listeners to examine whether their emotional reactions are proportionate to what is happening now or are echoes of earlier trauma. Michael agreed and reminded everyone that identifying a Power Person and tracing behavioral patterns is another effective way to uncover the source of emotional reactivity. He encouraged consistent use of the forgiveness tools, even in seemingly minor moments of upset, because each small healing contributes to the unraveling of long-held generational and personal pain.

As the show drew to a close, Susan shared her gratitude for the tools and the support of the community, acknowledging that while the healing journey can feel overwhelming at times, it is profoundly liberating. Michael affirmed her courage and reminded listeners that even in moments of sadness or confusion, the presence of love is always available when we are willing to choose it. He closed by inviting everyone to commit to living from the truth of who they are—love—and to let that truth guide their process of healing and transformation.

Susan joined the discussion and spoke about being triggered by someone else’s reaction, which stirred up old pain around rejection and not being heard. She described initially feeling caught in the emotional swirl and later recognizing that her upset was not about the other person’s behavior but about her own unhealed material. Michael affirmed this insight and reminded listeners that the moment we feel discomfort, the opportunity for healing is present. He encouraged canceling goals that drive perception and returning to presence and breath. He explained that forgiveness is the collapse of the false perception, not the pardoning of an action, and that this collapse allows for the underlying energy to rise for healing.

Michael also talked about how stored emotional energy, even from infancy or before conscious memory, can be triggered by present-day experiences that resonate with the original energy. He explained that if someone does something that hurts us emotionally, it’s not what they did that causes the pain—it’s the energetic frequency in us that matched the event. Jeanie reinforced this point and reminded listeners that the healing work isn’t about intellectual understanding but about accessing the body’s wisdom and allowing energy to move. She emphasized the importance of willingness and consistency in using the tools.

Susan reflected on how far she’s come in being able to recognize her own triggers and choose to use the tools rather than staying in victimhood. Michael celebrated her progress and pointed out that every time someone chooses to collapse a perception and return to love, they are not only healing themselves but also contributing to healing the collective. He referenced Yeshua’s teachings about the power of two or more gathered in truth and how each individual’s willingness to show up in love ripples out into the world.

The episode closed with a reminder that healing is a lifelong process and that we don’t have to figure everything out intellectually. The tools of forgiveness, breath, and presence, combined with the guidance of Rukha d’Koodsha—the Aramaic term for the feminine energy of correction—are enough to carry us through. Michael and Jeanie encouraged listeners to remain consistent and compassionate with themselves as they uncover and release what no longer serves the awareness of their true nature as love.

Jeanie shared an insight from a recent conversation she had with a friend, highlighting the importance of recognizing and softening harsh, accusatory language—especially when directed at oneself. She explained that even subtle tones of hostility in our speech reflect deeper unresolved emotions. Jeanie encouraged listeners to become more aware of how internalized judgment can be disguised as self-talk and to use that awareness to interrupt the cycle of blame. Michael echoed this by discussing how thought disorders, often picked up in childhood or inherited from previous generations, manifest through speech and behavior. These disorders are often mistaken for truth, but through consistent use of forgiveness and presence, they can be dismantled.

Susan joined the conversation and described a recent experience where she felt emotionally activated after someone questioned her beliefs. She recognized that her reaction was disproportionate to the event and used journaling and forgiveness tools to explore it. She discovered a deep-rooted fear of being wrong and the shame that accompanied it. Michael affirmed that these moments of upset are perfect opportunities to access and clear unconscious material. He emphasized that healing doesn’t require knowing the exact origin of a trauma; the body and energy field already know what needs to be released when we’re willing to allow the process.

Michael expanded on the physiology of trauma, explaining that unresolved pain alters our breathing, posture, and brain chemistry. He referenced Dr. Dan Siegel’s work on neural integration and the importance of building new brain pathways through intentional practices. He encouraged listeners to do the work gently and consistently, noting that the forgiveness process isn’t about intellectual mastery but about creating safety, presence, and space for love to emerge. He again spoke of Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic name for the feminine energy that guides correction and healing, and invited listeners to lean into that support whenever they face emotional turbulence.

The show concluded with a reminder from both Michael and Jeanie that no one is broken. Each person is already whole, and the healing journey is about peeling away the layers of false perception and generational distortion that obscure that wholeness. They encouraged listeners to remain committed to the work and to trust the process, even when discomfort arises, as that discomfort is often the signal that something is ready to be released.

Michael and Jeanie discussed the nature of trauma and how it is stored in the body as energetic imprints. Michael explained that these stored energies often have no cognitive memory attached, and yet they influence behavior, thoughts, and emotional responses. He stressed the importance of recognizing that when something in the present triggers pain or upset, it is not the event itself but the resonance with past unresolved energy that is being activated. Healing comes through the willingness to face these moments consciously and use tools like breath, journaling, and forgiveness to interrupt the reactive patterns.

Susan called into the show and described a situation where she had been emotionally activated and initially believed it was due to someone else’s behavior. However, through the use of journaling and internal reflection, she recognized that the intensity of her response was tied to old patterns of rejection and fear of not being good enough. Michael affirmed her insights and pointed out that this is exactly how healing unfolds—by being willing to look inward rather than project outward. He reminded listeners that one of the most powerful things they can do is cancel the goal that drives a painful perception, which allows the projection to collapse and the underlying energy to surface for release.

Jeanie reflected on how she used to unconsciously withdraw in moments of conflict, believing it was the only way to feel safe, and how that strategy was inherited from her upbringing. She shared that recognizing and owning these patterns has allowed her to shift into more conscious, love-based choices. Michael supported this with the idea that unconscious dynamics run our lives until we bring them into awareness. He reiterated that healing is not a linear, one-time process, but a moment-by-moment practice of returning to presence and willingness.

The show concluded with a powerful reminder that we are not broken and that the journey of healing is about remembering who we truly are. Michael encouraged everyone to stay consistent with the tools, breathe through discomfort, and allow Rukha d’Koodsha—the Aramaic term for the feminine force of correction—to do its work in restoring truth and love to our awareness. The Ryces both underscored that each step in this process contributes not only to individual healing but to the transformation of the collective human experience.

Jeanie Ryce shared personal reflections about her own healing journey, particularly how withdrawing from relationships was once a coping mechanism she used for safety. She acknowledged that in times of conflict or fear, she would often withdraw emotionally or physically, a pattern that originated in childhood. Over time, she began to see that this strategy, while originally adaptive, had become a limitation that created distance and misunderstanding in her relationships. She emphasized that using the forgiveness tools helped her recognize and begin to dismantle this unconscious pattern. Michael affirmed her insight by explaining that when we withdraw or project, we activate a cycle that perpetuates fear and distortion, rather than presence and love.

Susan joined the conversation and spoke about being triggered by another person’s behavior and realizing through journaling and self-inquiry that her response had more to do with past trauma than with the present situation. She shared how she had been projecting blame outward but recognized, with support, that the feelings of rejection and inadequacy stemmed from much earlier life experiences. Michael encouraged her and the audience to remain gentle and curious in the face of such revelations, noting that healing does not require intellectual understanding of the original trauma. Rather, it requires willingness to be present with the discomfort and to engage in the tools that support energetic release, such as breathwork and canceling goals.

Throughout the episode, Michael discussed the physiological and energetic nature of trauma, explaining that when the body is in a stress state, it moves out of the healing mode of the parasympathetic system and into the survival mode of the sympathetic nervous system. He highlighted that forgiveness, presence, and breath are the pathways back to balance. He again invoked Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic feminine principle of correction and healing, describing it as the force that clears what no longer belongs when we surrender resistance and invite truth to surface. The role of this inner healing energy is not to shame or judge but to realign us with our essential nature as love.

As the show concluded, Michael and Jeanie reaffirmed the importance of staying consistent with the work. They reminded listeners that healing is not about achieving perfection or avoiding discomfort, but about continuing to show up, forgive, and return to presence. Each choice to do so not only brings greater freedom to the individual but contributes to healing the collective unconscious. The process is not always easy, but it is sacred, and each step toward remembering who we truly are is a step toward restoration and peace.

Michael highlighted that even in the absence of conscious memory, the healing process can still unfold. The body and energy field hold what needs to be released, and tools like breathwork, journaling, and the forgiveness worksheet help surface those energies for transformation. He addressed the cultural conditioning around blame and projection and underscored that true healing only happens when we stop projecting and take full responsibility for our internal states. When upset arises, the key is to recognize that it is not about the other person or the external event—it is an invitation to look within.

Jeanie Ryce joined the discussion and reinforced the idea that healing is about softening the fear-based patterns that were adopted for survival in childhood. She acknowledged that unconscious behaviors like withdrawal or self-judgment were protective at one time but become limiting and even harmful when they continue unchecked into adulthood. She spoke about the power of using the Commitment and mirror work to bring these patterns into the light. By consciously choosing presence and willingness, she explained, one can begin to dissolve these inherited strategies and return to a state of love and truth.

Susan contributed by sharing a personal breakthrough around recognizing a pattern of believing she was “too much” or “not enough,” depending on the situation. This split, she realized, had shaped her relationships and inner dialogue for years. Michael affirmed her insight and pointed out how such distortions form a false identity that needs to be dismantled. He reminded listeners that we are not what we do or how others respond to us—we are love, and everything else is a distortion formed through generations of thought disorders and emotional suppression.

The episode concluded with a reminder that healing is not an intellectual activity but an experiential one. Michael encouraged listeners to stop trying to figure everything out with the conscious mind and instead surrender to the healing intelligence of Rukha d’Koodsha, the Aramaic name for the feminine force of correction and purification. When we show up with willingness and presence, this divine energy does the work of restoration. The process may feel uncomfortable, but discomfort is often a sign that something valuable is ready to be released.

Michael Ryce joined the show and turned the focus to the Aramaic definition of “Satan,” explaining that it means “the resister, one who misleads.” He illustrated how resistance locks down energy in the body and leads people to misperceive life by projecting blame onto others rather than taking responsibility. Using his background in electronics, Ryce compared resistance in the human system to resistance in electrical cords, which blocks energy flow. He described how StillPoint Breathing creates a “superconductor state,” where resistance dissolves, energy flows freely, and trauma can be processed in moments rather than years.

The discussion deepened as Ryce and a caller explored the difference between acceptance and passivity. He clarified that acceptance does not mean tolerating harmful behavior but rather staying rooted in love instead of hostility or fear. He emphasized that the gateway to healing is Rakhma—the active presence of love in the mind. When hostility or fear closes this gateway, goals and intentions become destructive. But when Rakhma is active, intentions align with love, and the mind becomes receptive to guidance and truth.

Ryce tied this to the Aramaic concept of Rukha d’Koodsha, the breath or elemental force that both undoes errors and teaches truth. He explained that when resistance is dropped, breath flows freely, and Rukha d’Koodsha can reach back through generations, loosening stored trauma from both ancestors and future generations. He stressed that everything truly needed in life will be delivered through the presence of love in the mind, supported by breath and faith, which he described as the doorway to trust that change is possible. The episode closed with a reflection on Native American teachings about silence, which, like Aramaic wisdom, emphasize stillness and listening as gateways to truth.

Additional Notes: Caller Doug continued the conversation about filters ‘hostility, fear or Rakhma’ which quality of the filter change the quality of intentions. See poster https://whyagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Getting_the_Stress_You_Need_diagram_of_filters_rev2017.pdf

An email from a listener raised the question of whether recalling details of a traumatic event is beneficial or harmful when doing a forgiveness worksheet. The writer had blocked memories from what she believed was her first panic attack at age twelve and considered asking her sister for more information. Jeanie encouraged her to gather as much detail as possible, since greater clarity supports the forgiveness process. Michael Ryce expanded on this, explaining that unresolved trauma functions like compressed energy stored in the unconscious. When triggered, it releases powerful emotional responses such as panic attacks. He emphasized that the forgiveness worksheet, breathwork, and mind shifters are essential tools to bring these hidden dynamics into awareness and heal them.

Ryce shared examples of individuals who carried childhood trauma, including stories of abuse, panic attacks, and how alcohol often becomes a destructive anesthetic. He warned that alcohol not only numbs but also perpetuates generational damage, contributing to violence, accidents, and family dysfunction. He stated strongly that there is no healthy use of alcohol and called for listeners to recognize its toxic effects. He tied this discussion back to the importance of removing denial and facing the true causes of pain, which always lie within unresolved thought disorders.

Later, Julia joined to continue her worksheet. She revealed family secrets, including discovering at age nine that her biological father was not the man who raised her. She processed feelings of guilt and confusion, guided by Michael and Jeanie, who encouraged her to do worksheets both for herself and vicariously for her mother. Ryce connected this to the Native American principle of “Mitakuye Oyasin,” meaning “all my relations,” explaining that when one person heals, it opens energy for healing across the entire bloodline. Julia also noted the Buddhist practice of dedicating prayers for the sake of all beings, showing the universal nature of this principle.

The show closed with reflections on guilt and denial. Ryce explained that guilt is not protective but destructive, energizing the very behaviors people try to avoid. He tied this to the Aramaic understanding of denial, which creates unconscious blocks by hiding the true causes of pain and projecting blame outward. Forgiveness, practiced consistently, dissolves these blocks and restores conscious awareness. He ended with a story about a child who solved a puzzle of the world by first putting together the picture of a little girl on the reverse side—an analogy for how healing ourselves brings the world into wholeness.

September 21, 2023 This episode of MindShifters Radio opened with Jeanie welcoming listeners and sharing updates, including a new article on the WhyAgain.org website. She also mentioned an incident where someone stole a garden sign that read, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind,” reflecting on the irony of the theft and the importance of holding love even in small losses. She spoke about the beauty of their fall garden and the presence of bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife, showing gratitude for the abundance of life surrounding them.

When Michael Ryce joined, he reflected on the value of recent questions from listeners, which had deepened the dialogue around healing and forgiveness. Jeanie read a follow-up email from Kimberly, who had previously written about a traumatic event tied to her first panic attack. Kimberly shared that asking her sisters for details provided little clarity, though one sister recalled being told that Kimberly “broke her mother.” This painful accusation left a deep imprint, especially as her mother struggled with depression and anxiety. Kimberly also noted that her father was an alcoholic, and she herself had recently stopped drinking, recognizing its impact. She reported progress from doing worksheets on the event and expressed eagerness to continue the work.

Michael explained that such statements from authority figures often set up power person dynamics, where patterns of blame and misperception become embedded in the unconscious. He described how these dynamics influence behavior under stress—either conforming, resisting, or repeating the most painful behaviors of the power person. He encouraged Kimberly to use forgiveness worksheets repeatedly, referencing Yeshua’s teaching of “77 times 70,” meaning persistent, ongoing work until an issue is fully healed. He emphasized that these patterns can dominate until brought into awareness and released through forgiveness.

The conversation then shifted to callers. Susan Bingham described challenges in her household, including fear and frustration in supporting a family member with health struggles. Michael guided her to use mind shifters such as, “It is safe and healing, appreciated, approved of and accepted by Tim, myself, and Michael, when I speak up and share every thought that goes through my mind.”  michael said he got a visual of Susan as a child having to withhold her thoughts, disapproved by others. Time to let the flood gates open, instead of fear of disapproval for speaking her truth. She said you are not really wanting me to do that, just put it on paper? That would be triple terrible. Fear comes up. Admire that you are willing to do the work.

“Self-expression is safe and healing,” and to confront generational fear patterns that fuel her reluctance to speak openly. He reminded her that fear itself resides only in the mind and can be dissolved through forgiveness, allowing her to approach difficult conversations from love rather than fear. Susan expressed both resistance and willingness, and Michael encouraged her persistence, highlighting that consistent ownership and release of fear transforms relationships.

Later, Magda and Celinda called in with reflections on their healing journeys. Magda emphasized the importance of reassuring others during difficult conversations to prevent fear-based misinterpretations, while Celinda shared her commitment to using worksheets more consistently and her growing appreciation for the process. Michael and Jeanie affirmed both callers, underscoring the communal aspect of healing and how joy, persistence, and willingness create space for transformation.

September 22, 2023 opened with Jeanie welcoming listeners and reading a follow-up email from Kimberly, who had been sharing about a childhood trauma. In her clarification, Kimberly explained that when her sister said “you broke her,” it meant their mother had broken her, not that she had broken their mother. Michael Ryce reflected that this subtle difference connects directly to one of the earliest thought disorders children absorb—the belief that they are broken or defective. He pointed listeners to the chart on WhyAgain.org, “Physiological Effects of Emotional Suppression,” which outlines how thought disorders become embedded in the body and influence physiology.

Ryce then gave a detailed teaching on the inseparability of mind and body, emphasizing that every thought becomes physiology, as Einstein described matter as energy slowed to visibility. He explained how disintegrative energies such as shame, humiliation, fear, anger, and grief progressively lock into different organs, creating what appears to be disease and aging. Using examples from Bruce Lipton’s work on cellular biology, Ryce described how neuropeptides generated by thought disorders affect cells and ultimately shape health outcomes. He noted that aging is not caused by time itself but by accumulated toxic energy patterns carried through generations.

He traced how a child’s natural enthusiasm can be crushed by cultural or family messages like “What’s wrong with you?” or “Calm down.” These judgments implant the belief of being broken, leading to shame and repression. Each stage of suppression introduces new distortions: humiliation tied to the pituitary, anger affecting the thyroid, fear shutting down the thymus, grief burdening the pancreas and adrenals, and helplessness impacting the spleen. At the bottom of this downward path lies unconsciousness, which he equated with the “desert” metaphor in scripture—living without awareness of one’s true nature as love.

Ryce contrasted this with the upward path of healing and “youthing,” achieved by systematically removing thought disorders through forgiveness. He explained that true forgiveness means removing disintegrative energies from one’s physiology, not letting someone else off the hook. As unconscious burdens are lifted, space is restored for enthusiasm, vitality, and the active presence of love. He stressed the importance of consistent daily practice—tithing one’s time, intelligence, money, and energy toward healing work. Returning to active love and presence is the only way out of the “religion of blame,” which he said dominates most of the world.

The show closed with a caller, Dan, who shared his worksheet work around childhood experiences of being told to “calm down.” He recognized how that message taught him to suppress his natural joy and enthusiasm, shaping decades of self-judgment. Ryce and Jeanie guided him with a mind shifter: “It is safe and healing, and people love and approve of me when I am in total enthusiasm.” This provided a practical tool for rewriting unconscious messages and reclaiming his vitality. Ryce tied it back to the larger teaching that healing is a process of uncovering and releasing generational thought disorders so the mind of love can come forward.

September 25, 2023, opened with Jeanie sharing about her and Michael’s ongoing work in the garden and reflecting on the health benefits of grounding, emphasizing how connecting barefoot to the earth can restore vitality. She reminded listeners that forgiveness, as taught in Aramaic, is not about pardoning others but about removing the internal energies of fear, anger, grief, or pain so that we return to our true nature as love. She also highlighted the growing use of the MindShifters app, where people submit questions directly from within the worksheets, showing how these tools are spreading and being put into practice.

Michael Ryce joined and told the story of a therapist who had recently completed 750 forgiveness worksheets, underscoring that the work is not a quick fix but a lifelong practice. He likened it to the advice from a sponsor in AA—that you keep doing the work until you want to do the work. He stressed that forgiveness is an ongoing process of shifting generations of patterns stored in the body-mind system, building brain cells for truth, and gradually transforming the inertia of the non-being self into alignment with the active presence of love.

Julia called in with questions about punishment and about feeling upset over U.S. financial support for Ukraine. Ryce explained that punishment often takes the form of withdrawal or avoidance, but deeper still, all forms of self-punishment amount to abandoning the space of love. He emphasized that circumstances in the world do not “make” us upset; they resonate unresolved thought disorders already within us. By recognizing this, we can use forgiveness to remove these patterns and open access to higher guidance, rather than staying stuck in projection or blame.

Jeanie read from the Power Person worksheet used in their intensives, listing a wide range of avoidance and punishment behaviors, from denial and gaslighting to rage, self-criticism, addictions, and distraction. Michael reminded Julia that true healing requires repeatedly canceling goals and working through layers of generational trauma. Julia shared her progress in the Codependence to Interdependence intensive, and Michael encouraged her persistence, comparing the process to opening the petals of a lotus flower. He noted that full comprehension of this work often takes years of practice but each layer brings transformation.

Later, Joe and Magda called in to reflect on their own healing journeys. Joe emphasized the importance of practice and persistence, describing forgiveness as spreading peace and rooting out patterns at their core. Magda observed that every way she steps out of love is a form of self-punishment, which Ryce confirmed as central to the process. He illustrated this with the story of “Christian the Lion,” showing the transformative power of love even in wild nature. The show closed with a teaching on communication, contrasting projection communication—blaming others for our upset—with responsibility communication, where we acknowledge that our perceptions and emotions arise from within us. This, Ryce explained, is the essential shift that allows true healing.

Today’s daily thought from Diedrick (Choose Again) and Sandy Wilder (Educare Unlearning) were so in sync with each other

September 26, 2023, opened with Jeanie inviting listeners to participate by asking questions, since these often support not only the caller but many others in the audience. She explained that she was working on adding a list of punishment and avoidance thoughts to the WhyAgain.org website to complement tools like the feeling wheel and the emotion chart, which help people identify and name their emotions more accurately. Jeanie shared a story about Arya, who became upset about going to school and described herself afterward as being “so full of emotions.” This gave Michael Ryce an opportunity to teach her about acknowledging feelings, canceling goals, and returning to her true nature as love.

Michael then reflected on a recent interview he and Jeanie had done after receiving a Business Person of the Year award. Although the interview was intended to highlight the award, it quickly became a deep conversation on forgiveness, denial, and the workings of the mind. Ryce emphasized that denial—thinking something outside of us is the cause of what is moving inside us—is a form of mental illness. He explained that denial hides parts of the mind, leading to deeper dysfunction, and reinforced that the human form is designed to function as love. He also tied this teaching to physiology, stressing that mind and body are one energy system, and every thought changes the chemistry of the body. Hostility and fear, when engaged, create cellular distortion, while forgiveness removes these toxic thought disorders.

The discussion expanded into practical guidance about making small, consistent changes in multiple areas of life—language, diet, thought patterns, and daily habits—to create sustainable healing. Ryce contrasted projection communication, where people blame others for their upset, with responsibility communication, where individuals own their internal responses and use forgiveness to remove hostility or fear. He drew on A Course in Miracles to stress the power of defenselessness and the importance of canceling goals to collapse painful perceptions, giving direct access to underlying thought disorders. He explained that freedom is not possible in the sense people imagine, but liberty is—the choice to live with the results of one’s actions and consciously create a life aligned with love.

A caller then joined to share her struggles with hostility, negative thought patterns, and caring for her son, who suffers from PTSD and anxiety. She described writing out pages of destructive thoughts, doing worksheets, and burning them, while recognizing how power person dynamics still ruled her reactions. Michael encouraged her to keep facing these patterns, to recognize they come from generations of unhealed trauma, and to tell the truth lovingly while also setting boundaries. He advised her to acknowledge her limits, not take full responsibility for her son’s life, and support him in finding the resources and services he needs. This compassionate guidance helped her shift her perspective, seeing that honest love includes acknowledging what she is willing to do without sacrificing her own life.

The show closed with reminders about the upcoming book club, where Ryce would guide participants through a live worksheet, and with reflections on the simple but profound nature of forgiveness. He emphasized again that perception is a construct of the mind, goals drive perception, and canceling goals is the key to dissolving painful realities. Forgiveness, he concluded, provides access to unconscious thought disorders, allowing people to stop repeating destructive generational patterns and consciously live as beings of love.

ACIM says in Responsibility for Sight: “²It is the same small willingness you need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on which salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. ³And being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely understood. ⁴Rejected yes, but not ambiguous. ⁵And if you choose against it now it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost seemed, in your judgment, to be too much to pay for peace.” (ACIM, T-21.II.1:2-5)

September 28, 2023, opened with Jeanie welcoming listeners and sharing about the immense archive of more than 4,400 past shows available to the public. She invited people to help by listening to earlier programs that lacked summaries and sending her short synopses to add to the WhyAgain.org website. Jeanie also described resources now available online, such as the list of pseudo-solutions of the non-being mind, avoidance and punishment thought lists, the feeling wheel, and the emotional chart. She emphasized how anger often hides deeper emotions like fear or pain, and that real healing comes from moving past the cover of anger into the vulnerable emotions beneath.

Michael Ryce then joined and expanded on the new 14-page Power Person worksheet he had been developing, contrasting it with the one-page version already on the website. While some people felt the detailed worksheet was “too much processing,” Ryce emphasized that nothing in the unconscious will remain hidden forever. He explained that the Aramaic word for “heart” refers to the unconscious mind, and that unresolved generational patterns stored there inevitably manifest as dis-ease in body, mind, emotions, or relationships. He stressed the importance of willingness to face these dynamics consciously through forgiveness, rather than waiting for them to surface destructively later.

Ryce illustrated his point with a story about technical support for a malfunctioning computer. After multiple failed attempts by others, a skilled friend quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue by accessing the right commands. He compared this to the detailed worksheet: a tool designed to go deep into hidden patterns and “reset” the unconscious. He explained that developing skill and persistence with the worksheets allows people to face even major generational traumas with greater ease over time, freeing them from unconscious dynamics that otherwise drive their lives.

The show also touched on cultural issues, with Jeanie sharing her reaction to a news story about a woman imprisoned for killing her abusive partner in self-defense. Ryce linked this to the “good old boy” system still present in politics and law, which often undermines women and children under the guise of being “pro-life.” He pointed out the contradictions in states with high child poverty and food or health care deserts while claiming to value life, comparing this mindset to the mentality of slavery. He called for a cultural reset rooted in Rakhma, the Aramaic concept of compassion and active love, as taught in the Beatitudes.

Later in the program, Terry and Dan joined the conversation. Together with Ryce, they explored the themes of predestination versus potential, the law of resonance, and the role of forgiveness in shifting generational patterns. They discussed how perception is generated from within the brain and how forgiveness collapses false constructs, accessing root energies for healing—even from events in infancy, in utero, or across generations. Jeanie shared a story about her son Ryan, who unconsciously carried trauma from both prenatal and preschool experiences, illustrating how unconscious memories shape adult behavior. Ryce concluded by emphasizing that forgiveness provides direct access to these unconscious roots, allowing them to dissolve in the presence of love.

Michael Ryce then shifted the conversation toward the role of language and goals in shaping perception and physiology. He explained the principle of regulatory speech, where words literally regulate cellular chemistry, physiology, and the mind’s constructs. Drawing from the Laws of Living intensive, Ryce described how goals framed in negative language, such as “I don’t want to be abused,” actually resonate unresolved trauma and invite its repetition. Instead, he stressed the importance of setting goals in positive terms, such as seeking “loving, gentle, respectful relationships.” He emphasized that canceling even seemingly good goals allows hidden hostility or fear tied to them to surface for healing.

The discussion deepened with Dan, who shared questions about goal-setting in the forgiveness worksheet. Ryce clarified that canceling goals is not about giving up healthy desires but about collapsing projections that resonate unconscious pain. He described how relationships often operate on “matching bags of garbage,” where unresolved power person dynamics attract partners who bring those dynamics into expression. This, he explained, is not a curse but a designed opportunity for healing. By holding love when blame and pain arise, people can transform these patterns rather than repeat them.

The conversation expanded into the physics of forgiveness, linking it to resonance, wave-particle collapse, and quantum principles. Ryce explained that the mind creates perceptual images projected onto others, but forgiveness collapses these false constructs and reveals hidden truth. He compared this to peeling paint off the inside of the eyeballs to see reality more clearly. Terry joined near the end of the program, reflecting on how forgiveness dissipates corrupted data from the body and mind, much like releasing particles back into wave form. The dialogue highlighted how defensive structures and the “religion of blame” block healing, while forgiveness restores conscious awareness and reconnects us to love.
