2nd hour was pre-recorded “WhyAgain1hrWorkshop”
|
September 3 | The radio show reflected on spiritual teachings, particularly focusing on the work and messages of Yeshua (Jesus). The conversation emphasized the importance of living from a “mind of love” as opposed to a mind driven by fear, hostility, or helplessness. The host argued that many religious teachings today, which promote a sense of helplessness or fear, are contrary to Yeshua’s teachings. Instead, Yeshua taught people to live from a place of love, power, and a sound mind.
A significant portion of the show was dedicated to analyzing scriptural passages, including those from Timothy and John, to illustrate how Yeshua encouraged followers to act according to his teachings rather than merely seeking personal gain or relief from suffering. The host highlighted the difference between intellectual faith and living faith, which involves actively engaging in the practices Yeshua prescribed, such as forgiveness and love. The show also touched on the negative impact of fear-based teachings, especially on young people, recounting a story of a man who was traumatized as a child by hellfire and brimstone sermons. The discussion underscored the importance of moving away from such fear-driven teachings and instead embracing a mindset rooted in love and forgiveness. Towards the end, the conversation shifted to personal experiences, including a touching moment where Jeanie and the host shared about their newborn grandchild, Lincoln, and the joy he has brought into their lives. The show concluded with a call to listeners to embrace the teachings of love and to work on resolving their own fears and traumas to live a more fulfilled and loving life. |

“Why Again?” workshop 3 hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9CFAa9_Dls Received an email requesting a detail explanation of the filters of the mind. GETTING THE STRESS Schematics of the Mind (Three filters) revised 2017 from Getting the Stress You Need (PDF format) Rakhma and Khooba explained. Functional Diagram of the Human Mind. Frontal lobe of brain filters over Intentions: Fear (Negative), Hostility (Destructive) and Rakhma (Constructive) Quality of Intentions determines quality of goals and goals are raw material for and the drivers for Perceptions. Back of the brain filters over Perceptions: Fear (Threatening), Hostility (Irritating) and Khooba (Loving) Rakhma is the gateway to the mind that was in Christ. It is the word Y’Shua used to express the First Law. Rakhma and Khooba set is Perfect Love – perfect love casts out fear. How do you tell which filters are set? By our fruit. Are you truly thinking or just resonating information from your mind? Awaken to being and originate choices. Our reality comes from the construct of the mind. Actuality may be totally different, depending on what brain cells were triggered by the actual event. Check out Ted Talk of Anil Seth “Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality” CIA research on perception, the mind generates reality, it does not record reality. CIA on perception https://whyagain.org/images/PDF/CIA_PsychologyOfIntelligenceAnalysis.pdf Reality constructs the world you ‘see’ – be careful what you accept as truth. Hostility and Fear are the markers saying it is poor quality. A mind fueled properly tells the truth. Miller’s Law: “In 1956, George Miller gave … The Magical Number Seven, plus or minus Two … to define the limits of human memory.

Caller Linda asked about “Love God, neighbor and self” We are made of the stuff called Love – it is what we are, it is not something we do or get. Have the gateway open for your being (Love) to enter into your form. The venial form of love is approval. Our culture specializes in knocking out the presence of Love from a child then sends them out looking for love (in all the wrong places and too many faces). It takes work to escape the insanity. Vladimir Lenin said change the meaning of words and you can destroy a culture. Y’Shua said Life and death is in your words. |
September 5 | The radio show focused on interconnected themes of healing, spiritual awareness, and the importance of understanding energy fields. The host began by recounting a conversation from a previous episode about spiritual healing, followed by a personal story about a still-point breathing session with a friend named Ari. This session uncovered deep-seated emotional trauma connected to Ari’s early life in an incubator, highlighting the significance of unresolved memories and the profound impact they can have throughout life. Synchronistic events played a major role, as Ari’s personal reflections were echoed by a voicemail from his sister, expressing feelings of abandonment that mirrored his own experience.
The conversation expanded into the broader topic of energy fields and synchronicity, emphasizing how interconnected we all are. A central theme was that everything is part of one energy field, where actions in one part of the field resonate and affect others. The show also touched on the role of love, particularly through the concept of Rakhma and Khooba (terms from ancient Aramaic referring to real love). The importance of maintaining human life through love and the spiritual laws governing our actions were discussed, framed by references to the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus). The host further explored these ideas by relating them to personal experiences, including interactions with family members, childbirth, and even religious insights that emerged over decades of spiritual work. The session ended with a discussion about forgiveness and healing generational trauma, with a caller reflecting on her own journey and the struggles she faced in connecting with the essence of love, both in herself and in her relationships with her children. |
September 6 | The radio show discussion centers around Colleen, who calls in seeking support regarding a complex emotional situation involving her younger brother, with whom she works. The conversation touches on the concept of perception, particularly the idea that much of what we perceive, especially in negative situations, may be a “hallucination” of the mind rather than an objective truth. Michael, the host, explains that perception is influenced by generational and personal mental constructs, and that healing from these requires introspection, forgiveness, and recognizing that external events often trigger unresolved internal emotions.
Colleen expresses confusion about whether her negative perceptions of her brother’s behavior are a result of her internal unresolved feelings or a reflection of her brother’s actions. She shares that past interactions with him at work have led to recurring feelings of anger and frustration, which she has attempted to work through using worksheets. Michael and Jeanie guide her through recognizing how denial and projection play roles in maintaining these patterns, explaining that true healing comes from owning one’s emotions and stopping the blame cycle. The conversation delves deeply into family dynamics, discussing how generational behaviors, like sarcasm and emotional invalidation, have shaped Colleen’s reactions and how she and her brother perpetuate these dynamics unconsciously. They suggest using responsibility communication as a tool to shift these patterns, offering Colleen practical advice on how to engage in healing discussions with her brother without falling into old habits of blame and sarcasm. Michael also suggests she explore a deeper program to address her issues if she’s willing and able. |

September 10 | In this radio show episode, Audrey calls in to seek guidance about her involvement in a group that she enjoys, but where one participant seems to have an issue with her, leading to a confrontation. Audrey explains how she was berated by this participant during a meeting and later over the phone. Despite this tension, she appreciates the group and the facilitator, but is unsure whether she should continue attending, especially if this individual remains hostile. The host, in response, encourages Audrey to continue attending and suggests that the issue lies with the other participant, not her. He emphasizes the importance of addressing personal triggers and advises that the facilitator’s responsibility is to manage the dynamics of the group.
The host also draws parallels between Audrey’s situation and the show’s philosophy, explaining that everyone who participates in the show has the right to share their experiences without being judged. He reinforces the notion that the facilitator should set ground rules and allow everyone space to process their emotions. Audrey expresses her gratitude for the guidance and shares how the tools she’s gained from the show have improved her life. Later in the show, Celinda calls in briefly to discuss her ongoing genealogical research, particularly about her maternal side. She remarks on the recurring patterns she’s noticed in her family history, which mirrors the lives of past generations. This leads the host to reflect on the enduring nature of familial patterns and the role of ancestral influences. He also shares a quote from Carl Jung, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging these generational patterns to heal and understand ourselves better. Celinda asked if all the quotes could be captured on the website. They are already there at https://whyagain.org/quotes/ The show closes with a deeper discussion of spiritual practices, including the concept of prayer and how it is often misunderstood. The host explains that prayer, in its true form, is about aligning oneself with the energy of creation rather than requesting material goods or outcomes. He critiques how many modern religious practices misinterpret prayer, often using it as a tool to ask for favors rather than to connect with divine energy. |
September 11 | The End of Suffering Chapter 1
michael ryce discussed key ideas from a long-started but unfinished book, The End of Suffering, a dialogue between a character and Yeshua. The central theme explored is the concept of self-inflicted suffering and how Yeshua’s teachings provide tools to overcome it. A significant focus was placed on the importance of taking personal responsibility for one’s suffering rather than blaming others. Forgiveness, the speaker stressed, is the key to reclaiming personal power and liberating oneself from the victimhood mentality that often keeps people trapped in cycles of pain. dr ryce reflected on how many people misinterpret Yeshua’s teachings by adopting beliefs that shift responsibility away from themselves. They rely on simply invoking his name without doing the necessary inner work for personal transformation. Yeshua’s teachings emphasized personal effort and the application of his instructions to experience true change. The conversation also touched upon Yeshua’s overcoming of worldly suffering and how this achievement was meant to serve as a model for others. Further, the speaker highlighted the prevalent issue of blame within religious practices, where individuals remain powerless because they project responsibility for their experiences onto others. Yeshua taught that overcoming these patterns requires inner work and self-mastery. The conversation reiterated the difference between Yeshua’s teachings of love and forgiveness and the fear-based messages that have dominated religious discourse. These distorted teachings, often leading to fear and hostility, are contrasted with Yeshua’s original Aramaic words, which call for living in a state of love and inner peace. As the discussion unfolded, the speaker challenged the traditional interpretations of religious scripture, pointing out that much of what has been passed down is steeped in misinterpretation. The focus of Yeshua’s teachings was on love, not fear, but over the centuries, fear-based doctrines have overshadowed his original messages. The radio show ended with a note of encouragement for listeners to continue their own journey toward love and self-mastery, following the true teachings of Yeshua rather than relying on superficial religious practices. Listen to the original first two chapters being read by Rev Don Jackson (as the character) and dr. michael ryce (the voice of Yeshua) at * Chapter 1: “THE END OF SUFFERING” – 44 Minutes (2.6 MB) * Chapter 2: “THE CORE PROBLEM, BEING WAXED GROSS” – 28 Minutes (1.6 MB) |
September 12 | The End of Suffering Chapter 2
from michael’s unfinished book, The End of Suffering, a dialogue between a character and Yeshua. The host begins by acknowledging feedback from the previous day’s reading, suggesting that the message needs to be delivered as one cohesive piece. Throughout the episode, the host apologizes for the potential disjointedness caused by revisiting and editing material written years ago. The discussion dives into Yeshua’s interpretation of suffering and how it contrasts with traditional church teachings. The host explains that Yeshua, even in his most trying moments, exemplified the power of love over fear and hostility. By healing the high priest’s servant during his arrest, Yeshua demonstrated the ability to act with love toward those who intended harm. The host underscores Yeshua’s victory over suffering and death, emphasizing that his resurrection is a testament to the power of functioning as a human being aligned with love and divine will, free from the constraints of fear and judgment. The episode moves on to critique established religious teachings that focus on suffering, dogma, and fear, suggesting that these misinterpretations have led to a misunderstanding of Yeshua’s true message. Yeshua’s mission, as interpreted by the host, was not to teach sacrifice and condemnation but to provide tools for people to experience love and healing. The traditional religious institutions that promote fear and judgment are portrayed as being disconnected from the presence of love, which the host claims is the essential message of Yeshua. In addition to discussing religious dogma, the host reflects on personal spiritual growth and the importance of questioning long-held beliefs. The host shares a personal journey of coming to terms with the realization that much of the religious doctrine they were taught was based on fear and control, rather than love and understanding. This leads to a broader conversation about the power of forgiveness, not as a mere pardon but as a tool for transforming one’s mind and overcoming the unconscious patterns that lead to suffering. Throughout the episode, the host emphasizes the need for individuals to engage in deep inner work to break free from generational trauma, fear, and hostility. The message highlights the importance of personal responsibility in healing and the potential for individuals to embody love, as Yeshua did, to bring about real change in the world. The host concludes with a call for listeners to stay connected to love, even in the face of adversity, as this is the true path to healing and spiritual enlightenment. |
September 13 | The End of Suffering – new addition continues
In this radio show, the host delves deeply into the concept of love, contrasting the common cultural misconceptions with a more profound understanding of love as a state of being rather than an action or behavior. The discussion begins by critiquing the idea that saying “I love you” often refers to a superficial and fragile form of approval, rather than true love. According to the host, most people have been conditioned to accept love as something that can be given or received, but this misperception is far from the truth. The show stresses that love is not a verb or a transactional act; instead, it is the very essence of who we are as human beings. Drawing on the analogy of a newborn child, the speaker emphasizes that a child does not express love by doing something; the child simply *is* love. This essence is often lost as individuals grow and are conditioned by societal norms, generational beliefs, and language that distort the meaning of love. The host cites Vladimir Lenin’s assertion that changing the meaning of words can destroy a culture, arguing that many people confuse abusive behaviors—often justified in the name of love—with genuine love. The speaker critically examines terms like “tough love,” suggesting that these concepts are oxymorons that distort the true essence of love, leading to cycles of emotional abuse and blame. The show also introduces the idea that love, as a state of being, cannot coexist with fear, hostility, or disapproval. When individuals attempt to act “lovingly” based on a mind clouded by these negative emotions, their actions are hollow and disconnected from the true experience of love. The host explores how generational pain, unresolved trauma, and mental constructs shape relationships and often lead to suffering and disillusionment, particularly when goals and expectations in relationships are violated. Forgiveness, as described by the host, is the key to returning to the state of love. However, the speaker clarifies that forgiveness is not about absolving others, but rather about removing the internal blocks—anger, fear, and unresolved pain—that prevent an individual from experiencing their true essence as love. This process of forgiveness allows people to overcome suffering and experience healing, both for themselves and for others. The conversation also touches upon religious teachings, particularly how misinterpretations of the scriptures have led to a skewed understanding of love and forgiveness. The speaker notes that many of the original meanings in religious texts have been lost or distorted, especially through translations into languages like Greek and English. The speaker discusses how societal systems, including religious and political institutions, often perpetuate fear, control, and suffering, rather than promoting the true essence of love. The ultimate message is one of self-awareness, healing, and rediscovering love as our natural state of being, free from the distortions of the mind. |

Kristin Riehman, MD, with Dr. Tim Hayes – tonight, September 16, 2024, FREE ZOOM webinar 7:00PM Eastern Time. A major contributor to poor healing and frequent illness is old, stuck emotions, including anger, grief, jealousy, and worse. Emotions that remain entrenched can lead to cancer, autoimmunity, poor healing, and mystery illnesses. In this talk, our guest Timothy Hayes, Psy.D, presents an operational definition of forgiveness, and shares one of the most powerful, effective, efficient, and accessible tools he has learned in over fifty years of doing therapy for becoming free of the emotions that hold us back. Link to join. (Blog Talk was down today so there were no shows.) |
September 17 | In this radio show, the hosts discuss various life topics, blending personal stories with philosophical reflections. The conversation opens with a discussion about a busy day of gardening, but quickly shifts to more profound matters, such as the challenges and rewards of helping a refugee family from Iraq. The single mother and her two teenage sons are portrayed as resilient, having faced years of hardship before finding refuge. The hosts emphasize the beauty of their spirit, especially the mother, who is juggling two jobs and school to become an interpreter.
The hosts reflect on the broader situation in the Middle East, noting how people from conflict zones, like Iraq, often bring a fresh, appreciative perspective on life in more stable countries. They discuss the trauma experienced by those in war-torn regions and compare it to the political turmoil within their own country. This leads to an exploration of themes like gratitude, survival, and hope, all of which are connected to the personal responsibility of doing what one can for others when opportunities arise. Jeanie read an email she received asking for Aramaic translation of the story of the rich man and a beggar named Lazarus found in Luke. The rich man went to hades and the beggar went to paradise. Jeanie also read the text from qbible.com that has Aramaic New Testament, and I was just reading real quickly to see if it says any difference. The only other thing that I know is that Yeshua was talking in a parable. Yshua said take up your cross. Whatever your cross is, give it up. If it’s hostility, if it’s a power person, if it’s money, possessions, whatever mitigates against living as the active presence of love, and therefore being in the community of love, which is a proper Aramaic interpretation of the words, the kingdom of heaven. So I hope that fills out your question. I hope it’s been helpful. The show also takes a more spiritual turn when the hosts begin exploring the Gospel of Thomas, a non-canonical text attributed to Thomas, one of Jesus’ apostles. This portion of the discussion delves into the philosophical and spiritual teachings of Yeshua (Jesus), focusing on the notion that true enlightenment comes from understanding one’s own nature and internal world, rather than seeking external validation or success. The text’s emphasis on love as an intrinsic state, rather than a conditional action, forms a key point of reflection. The hosts also touch on how living in alignment with love can alleviate suffering, and how spiritual growth often involves confronting difficult truths within ourselves. The program closes by encouraging listeners to reflect on the deeper meaning of these teachings and consider how they might apply to their own lives. The discussion of spiritual texts like the Gospel of Thomas is complemented by personal anecdotes, giving listeners both a practical and philosophical framework for living a more compassionate and mindful life. Covered Gospel of Thomas – Statements 1 – 9 |
September 18 | An in-depth conversation revolving around personal experiences with health improvements, relationships, and the intricate dynamics of human interactions. The hosts discuss various healing practices, notably the use of quantum still point sessions, and reflect on one person’s journey toward alleviating decades-long migraine issues. They highlight the progressive nature of healing, with the guest reporting significant relief from the intensity and frequency of headaches, alongside improvements in breathing and overall well-being. This conversation touches on the importance of consistent self-care routines like breathing exercises and continuing personal research into one’s health challenges.
Later in the show, the hosts delve into relationship dynamics, exploring the idea that people are drawn to one another based on their energetic resonance. The concept of the “file folder effect” is introduced, suggesting that emotional responses to others—especially in intimate or business relationships—are often triggered by past unresolved feelings. The show discusses how unconscious patterns, particularly those formed during childhood, influence adult relationships. The hosts emphasize the importance of personal accountability and forgiveness as tools for breaking these patterns and maintaining healthy connections. In the final portion, they explore the “power person dynamic,” a theory that explains how early life experiences, especially those involving authority figures, shape how individuals respond to stress and interact with others. The hosts also speak about the benefits of addressing these dynamics in all types of relationships—romantic, business, or friendships—by acknowledging triggers as opportunities for growth. They conclude by discussing the power of maintaining an active presence of love and how it can transform even the most challenging relational dynamics. |

September 23 | The hosts engage in a deep spiritual discussion touching on the Gospel of Thomas and its teachings. They explore various sayings from the text, emphasizing how they relate to Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) invitation to live a life based on love rather than fear and hostility. They discuss the world of perception, explaining that what we see is often shaped by the limitations of our minds rather than reality. One of the central themes is how most people live in a “false perception,” where their experiences are dictated by unresolved inner dynamics, which Yeshua refers to as needing to be “burned down” in favor of a more love-centered life.
Ryce delves into the idea that our perceptions are not reality, pointing out that neuroscientists, like Anil Seth, have shown that the brain constantly guesses and constructs our world based on past experiences. The hosts also reference A Course in Miracles, which teaches that the world we see is born of error and that the true world lies beyond our perceptions. They emphasize that Yeshua’s teachings offer tools to dissolve these false perceptions and connect with a deeper, love-based reality. They highlight the significance of forgiveness and the concept that hostility and fear keep people trapped in these false perceptions. The discussion also covers several sayings from the Gospel of Thomas, particularly those about burning down the world of perception and replacing it with something more powerful, rooted in love and truth. Ryce interprets Yeshua’s words to mean that living as a true human being, as love, is the only way to truly live and not be “dead.” They examine the cultural context of Yeshua’s teachings and how they challenged the belief systems of his time, focusing on the need to let go of ego and perception to embrace a higher spiritual truth. Ryce also addresses the duality in life, explaining that most people are stuck between their true being and their perceptual minds, leading to a life of separation, fear, and blame. Covered Gospel of Thomas – Statements 10 – 23 |
September 24 | Discussion of various spiritual principles, focusing on the power of perception, the effects of thoughts on reality, and the collective creation of the world around us. They begin by addressing the significance of personal responsibility, especially when facing recurring challenges in life, such as damaged packages being delivered. Ryce explains how our thoughts and energies influence the events and situations we experience, suggesting that even though external circumstances may seem beyond our control, our mindset can still impact outcomes. He emphasizes that while one cannot always control other people’s behavior, like that of a delivery driver, shifting to a more positive energy can still bring about better results in certain cases.
The conversation delves into how perception shapes reality, with Ryce explaining the scientific basis for this using an example of high-energy waves emitted from the brain when we think, which can resonate with others’ thoughts and behaviors. He highlights the importance of being conscious of the energy we send out and of practicing love-based thinking. Ryce also shares insights from his past keynote speeches at the Global Science Conference, which explored how thoughts influence the world around us. The discussion broadens into collective responsibility, with Ryce emphasizing that individuals can either continue the “universal religion of blame” or take full responsibility for their part in creating the world they see. By taking responsibility, people can identify and change the hidden parts of their minds that contribute to negative experiences. He also touches on how shared energy fields, such as those found between people in close relationships, have even stronger effects on one another’s thoughts and experiences. Later in the show, Ryce and Jeanie discuss broader societal issues, including the current political climate and historical events like World War II. They explore how collective fear and hostility can create large-scale societal problems, but they also emphasize that more people today are working to improve the world than ever before, pointing to positive changes like better food and water security. Ryce encourages listeners not to give in to fear-based thinking, which can perpetuate negative outcomes, but to focus on love-based actions that can contribute to healing the world. In conclusion, Ryce shares his belief that the world is becoming more peaceful overall, despite ongoing challenges, and that individuals have the power to contribute to this positive change by healing themselves and fostering loving, responsible thoughts. He stresses that the process of inner work and forgiveness is gradual and requires persistence, but the ultimate reward is a world where love prevails over fear and hostility. |
September 25 | Continue the exploration of spiritual principles, focusing on forgiveness, perception, and the healing process. The conversation opens with Ryce discussing the importance of first-century Aramaic forgiveness, which he describes as a powerful tool for personal and collective healing. He acknowledges the global audience, including listeners from various countries, and emphasizes the significance of spreading these teachings to every mind and heart on the planet. Ryce uses the song *Madness* by Alanis Morissette as a touchpoint, analyzing the lyrics to illustrate how people often deny or avoid confronting their inner turmoil. He praises Morissette for addressing the theme of blame and denial, common patterns in human behavior, where individuals avoid taking responsibility for their own emotional pain and instead project it onto others.
The song serves as a metaphor for the human tendency to live in a state of denial, attributing internal struggles to external sources. Ryce points out that many people are stuck in the “universal religion of blame,” where they fail to acknowledge their own role in creating their emotional realities. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing that personal madness and turmoil exist independently of others’ actions. He relates this to broader spiritual principles, encouraging listeners to embrace forgiveness as a tool for personal transformation, where individuals move from blaming others to taking responsibility for their own emotional states. Ryce also connects these personal struggles to larger societal issues, including trauma and collective responsibility. He emphasizes that unresolved personal pain can manifest in societal strife, and only through personal healing and forgiveness can these larger conflicts be resolved. He highlights that tools like forgiveness and mindfulness can help individuals break free from destructive patterns of blame and hostility, allowing for more harmonious relationships and communities. The discussion touches on the power of love, compassion, and the need to address one’s own inner turmoil before attempting to fix external problems. He references the Gospel of Thomas and other spiritual teachings to illustrate how these ancient principles can guide individuals in their healing journey. The show concludes with Ryce answering audience questions about trauma, health, and spiritual growth. He offers insights on the effects of trauma on the body, explaining how unresolved emotional pain can lead to physiological issues like PTSD, and emphasizes the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of healing. He encourages listeners to take 100% responsibility for their experiences and to use tools like forgiveness and mindful breathing to release stored trauma and move toward a state of love-based living. Covered Gospel of Thomas – Statement 24 |
September 26 | Discussion the themes of mindfulness, spiritual growth, and personal responsibility, often referencing the teachings of Yeshua and the Book of Thomas. The conversation begins with a reflection on impending storms in Florida, offering support to those in danger, and transitions into a spiritual dialogue centered on personal awareness and the elimination of mental barriers. The host, Michael, delves into the importance of recognizing personal faults before helping others, using metaphors from scripture to emphasize self-awareness and truth-seeking.
A significant part of the show focuses on Harvard research, discussing how the mind can process only a small amount of information consciously (nine bits) while ignoring a massive potential for truth and perception. Michael critiques how society often fills these limited bits of awareness with lies, leading individuals to project their emotions, such as anger or sadness, onto others. He stresses the importance of recognizing one’s own mental blockages to access a deeper, more truthful understanding of the world. The discussion also touches on the concept of fasting from the world—not in the physical sense but as a detachment from worldly perceptions and distractions. This metaphorical fasting leads to a deeper spiritual understanding and a closer connection to love and truth. The show includes a vivid recount of Daniel Brinkley’s near-death experience, drawing a parallel between this experience and the importance of spiritual awakening and letting go of the false self. Forgiveness is presented not as absolution for others but as a way to collapse one’s false perceptions, allowing for clearer insight. Michael urges listeners to move away from the mind’s illusions and step into their true potential. The show ends with a caller from Australia, Bob, who shares his personal journey of battling cancer and finding purpose in eradicating suicide, illustrating the power of personal truth and spiritual resilience. Covered Gospel of Thomas – Statements 25 – 36 |
September 27 | Explored topics of personal transformation, spiritual understanding, and the importance of clearing mental and emotional blockages. It opened with a message of gratitude from a listener, Colleen, who expressed appreciation for Bob from Australia’s insights on how to observe political turmoil with a loving perspective. Michael emphasized the importance of recognizing that confusion in the world stems from internal conflict, not external events. He encouraged listeners to practice forgiveness to clear confusion within their minds, offering clarity in all circumstances.
A key discussion centered on the concept of the Sabbath and its significance. A listener, Michael Katie, posed a question about the Aramaic understanding of the Sabbath, leading to a deep dive into the interpretation of rest and spiritual rejuvenation. Michael explained that the Sabbath is not about adhering to a specific day of the week but rather about taking time to connect with one’s inner being, free from the distractions of the world. He stressed the importance of stepping out of the “mind of man” and into the “mind of Christ,” where true rest and spiritual connection can be found. This practice allows for a deeper connection to love and the divine, beyond the rigid confines of dogma or literal interpretations of religious texts. The show also referenced the Book of Thomas, with particular focus on Sayings 36 and 37. These teachings emphasize the need to release fear, anxiety, and shame in order to truly experience spiritual enlightenment and the presence of love. Michael likened this process to “getting naked” in a metaphorical sense, shedding all layers of societal conditioning and mental blockages. By doing so, individuals can directly experience the truth of their being and the divine within them. Another listener, Susan, called in to share her experiences of personal growth and transformation, aligning with the themes of the show. She discussed how clearing out her mental and physical clutter led to a sense of liberation and well-being, though she still faced internal resistance. Her conversation with Michael highlighted the importance of self-awareness and the use of tools like forgiveness and mindfulness to overcome the obstacles of the non-being mind. Throughout the show, Michael reiterated that much of human suffering comes from misperceptions rooted in generational patterns and the mind’s tendency to project internal conflicts onto external situations. He advised listeners to use spiritual practices, such as the “first-century Aramaic forgiveness” process, to dissolve these blockages and live in alignment with love and truth. The discussion also touched on the concept of the mind as a “carbon-based memory system” that holds onto generational traumas, which must be cleared to fully embody one’s spiritual potential. The show concluded with reflections on the importance of rest, both physically and spiritually, and the need to cultivate inner peace through regular practices of mindfulness and forgiveness.
