Dear Friends,

I just received confirmation that Dale Allen Hoffman will be in Woodstock at the Unity Spiritual Center on April 19, 20, and 21, 2015.  Many of  you who receive this blog, already know of the high quality, integrity, and intensity of Dale’s work, and I know you will already be forwarding this information to your priority contact lists.

Dale will give the talk at the church on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM

Talk Title: “The Feminine Breath of Eternal Light”.

Then he will present a seminar Sunday Afternoon:

Ancient Aramaic Secrets of ISIS-Mary Magdalene
2 Hours – $25 per person
Who was Mary Magdalene? Was she a disciple? A companion to Yeshua? A prostitute? A tantric priestess? A French legend? An ancient myth? Spend two thrilling hours with mystic/scholar Dale Allen Hoffman exploring rarely seen insights from the ancient Aramaic teachings of and about Maryaam Magdalitha, aka Mary Magdalene. Hear long suppressed information about Mary’s relationship with Yeshua (Jesus) as well as her direct connections to Horus, Osiris and the ancient Egyptian Temple of ISIS. Also hear about a rarely recognized link between Yeshua, Mary and the ancient Sumerian goddess of love, fertility and warfare.

Periods of feminine-themed Aramaic toning and extended meditative silence nurture a deepening experiential womb within startling insights from the Gnostic Gospels of Thomas, Philip and Mary Magdalene. Understand the mis-translated Eastern philosophy of the canonical Gospel of Mark and the “casting out of seven demons”. Learn about the misogynist removal of the Sacred Feminine from the original Aramaic and Greek Jesus teachings and how we can restore the balanced fidelity of these ancient jewels of Eternal Wisdom.

Then on Monday evening he will present a workshop in the evening:

Aramaic Toning, Prayer & Cosmic Chant Circle with Crystal Singing Bowl
2 Hours – $25 per person – *Chairs in Circle*
International mystic/scholar Dale Allen Hoffman offers an intimate gathering of ancient Aramaic and Hebrew vocal intonations, chants, prayers, conscious breath work, buffalo hoop drum, crystal singing bowl and extended meditative silence. Dale offers us the opportunity of an authentic direct, personal experience of Gnosis through these sacred expressions that are profoundly intimate to how Yeshua’s (Jesus) listeners would have experienced their depth of vibration within themselves nearly 2,000 years ago. Participants receive a free printed collection of recommended Aramaic intonation terms, meanings and pronunciations for use in your personal spiritual practice.

Then on Tuesday evening, Dale will be leading us in some toning, do a brief talk, and then be  available for an extended question and answer session.  This will take the place of  our usual Tuesday evening Mindshifters group.

Please share this information with anyone and everyone you feel may be interested in planning to attend.  The more the Wholier.

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love,  We Are Love!  Everything else is false.

Monday Evening:

For Tuesday evening, it would probably be great for me to begin with toning and a brief talk followed by an extensive question and answer session.

Last night in the Tuesday Mindshifters group in Woodstock, IL we listened  to some of the discussion from yesterday’s  Mindshifters Radio show in which a quote from Albert Einstein was mentioned.  In that quote, Einstein says that the illusion that we are separate or separated from anyone or anything else, is a form of optical delusion.  He goes on to say that the delusion leads us to hold special affection for a few people and things closest to us, and that this special affection creates a prison for us.  He suggests that we need to eliminate the prison by extending our affection equally to all people and all of nature.

When this was mentioned  on the Internet show, it triggered a very strong response  in at least one listener, who contacted my by email and let me  know just how upset she was.  So, when I got to the group last night I decided to share that portion of the Internet show with the group.  Then we discussed the concepts, and the ways it was triggering for some people.  The basic point of contention is that we are taught, at least in this culture, that we are to love family and close friends more than we love strangers, and those with whom we have very little contact.  The question that was being posed by those who were triggered was, “Well then what is the point of friendship and lovers, if we feel the same way toward everyone?”.  The people who were triggered were able to identify emotions like fear and confusion in response to the concept of having the same level of affection for everyone, and all of creation.

As we  discussed these important questions each person worked to realize that whatever emotion they were feeling, was their own personal creation.  The point was made that Love is a noun, not a verb.  We don’t Love others.  We are however, capable of practicing the conscious awareness of our true nature as Love when we are with others.  We also discussed how holding special affection for those who are closest to us is one sure way to plant the seeds of violence, and even war.  If we value one person’s life above that of another, we will be willing to sacrifice or attack anyone  or anything which we feel may threaten our “loved one”.  The problem with this is that we will also be willing to attack anyone or anything which we feel is threatening our “special affection” or “special relationship” with that “loved one” even on an emotional level.  We will even be able to feel rage and attack the person we say we “love”, if he or she threatens to “take their love away” from us.  This in all likelihood is the basis of all domestic violence and emotional abuse.

We also discussed the fallacy of assuming that Love is a “zero sum game”.  If Love is a “zero sum game” that means that there is only so much Love to go around.  If  for instance I only have 100 units of Love available for me to give to others, then I better ration it so that I am sure I have enough for the people I feel are most important.  Let’s say that I give 25 units of Love to each of my two children and 40 units of Love to my spouse.  That would mean that I only have ten units left to give to everyone else in my life, so clearly there won’t be any left of the neighbor, or the person down the street, or the next town over, or those in another country.  The way the creator set it up, we don’t have to extend less Love to our family members, so that there will be more Love for our neighbors and strangers.   Love grows as it is shared!

I offer you the observation that Love is energy, and the more I give of it the more I experience my true nature as that energy, and the more I open myself to receive the experience of it in others.  The energy of Love is the energy of creation, and the experience of it goes beyond the ability of words to describe it.  Love grows as it is shared, and the experience of Love creates more of itself in an endless, ever expanding process.  As Love creates, Love multiplies and expands.  If you want to experience Love, don’t look to “be loved” by anyone or anything else.  If you want to experience Love, extend the Love that you are, in each interaction with everyone, and everything in your  life.

After the discussion we had a very brave group member ask for support in doing a worksheet out loud in the group, despite the fact that she was “extremely anxious” about doing something in front of the group.  She finally decided to do a worksheet on the extreme anxiety she felt about doing the worksheet.  It was a very instructive process and the entire group benefited.  We ended the process with several rounds of Faster EFT tapping and tapping out the Cortices from Body Talk Access.

Thanks to all those who participated and to those who will be joining us tomorrow night for the Crystal Lake Mindshifters Group  from 6:30 – 9:00 pm.  800  McHenry Ave. Suite B, Crystal Lake, IL. 60014

We Come From  Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love!  Everything else is false.

On last Thursday evening the Mindshifters group in Crystal Lake watched the hour long documentary video available on YouTube titled: Stress, Portrait of a Killer.

The discussion afterwards was very lively and one of the participants commented that it was just what she needed to hear that evening to help her get perspective on something going on in her life right now.  This so often happens in these groups, that what we are discussing and watching is “coincidentally” relevant to what many people  in the group are dealing with that day, or week.

The strongest “take away” for me from this viewing of the documentary was that this baboon troop was transformed from an atmosphere of aggression and brutality, to one of Loving and nurturing, in less than one generation.  If the baboon troop with their level of consciousness and awareness can change that rapidly,  what can we as conscious beings, and having the tools offered in the Mindshifters groups do in an even shorter period of time?

REMINDER – THERE WILL BE NO MINDSHIFTERS GROUP IN CRYSTAL LAKE THIS THURSDAY JANUARY 22, 2015 – WE WILL RESUME THE CRYSTAL LAKE MINDSHIFTER GROUP THURSDAY JANUARY 29, 2015.

We Come From Love, We Are Made of Love, We are Love!  Everything  else is false.

The Tuesday Evening Mindshifter Group in Woodstock, IL last night was another delightful gathering of ten people who are dedicated to improving the quality of their lives by applying these practical tools! We watched the second half of the lecture, Why Is This Happening To Me Again, and then watched a twenty minute video by Robert Smith in which he discusses the nature of healing and mental stress. I chose to show this particular short talk because Robert Smith uses many of the same foundational principles taught by Dr. Michael Ryce. In fact, when Dr. Michael Ryce watched this same short talk, he commented that it sounded like an echo of himself. That lecture can be found on YouTube by searching for – “229 Spiritually Speaking Faster EFT”.

After these two video lectures we discussed the material and answered questions about the nature of the realities we create within ourselves, and the power of canceling goals, and releasing and letting go of what no longer serves us. Then someone volunteered to do a Reality Management Worksheet on a negative feeling of “depression” or “malaise” which has been “happening to her” recently, even though she was not able to identify any negative thoughts related to those feelings. This was another wonderful opportunity to demonstrate that you can use a Reality Management Worksheet for any situation, event, thought, feeling, person, place or interaction, past, present, or future, living or dead. It may take a little work to choose what to put in each of the blank spaces on the worksheet – but it is always possible to do a Reality Management Worksheet whenever I do not like how I am thinking or feeling – either physically, or emotionally. At several points in the worksheet the person had to just write down that she was going “blank”, or “unconscious” and then move on to the next part of the process.

The worksheet was very productive for the person who chose to do it. When she canceled the goal she was holding for herself today, she got in touch with a serious emotional trauma which happened years ago. We then decided to follow the Reality Management Worksheet process with several rounds of tapping using the Faster EFT method – (which you can find on YouTube.com by searching for “Faster EFT”). As a result of using these two tools, this group member was able to release a lot of negative emotional energy, and negative conclusions about herself before she was done with the process.

Again, I offer my gratitude to those who participate in these groups and support themselves and others in learning to live more consistently from the knowledge of their true nature as Love.

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Happy New Year to all! We have had a wonderful time in the Tuesday Mindshifters Group these past two weeks, and due to the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays occurring on Thursdays, we have not met on Thursday Evening the past two weeks. This week we will return to our regular schedule and meet tonight in Woodstock at the Unity Spiritual Center, and then on Thursday at 800 McHenry Ave., Crystal Lake. Both groups meet from 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM.

Last week we watched the first half of the core lecture by Dr. Michael Ryce – Why Is This Happening To Me Again?, and then had a discussion and wonderful example of the Reality Management Worksheet process which began in the middle of the worksheet. This allowed for a wonderful learning experience about the fact that you can start with any part of the worksheet which seems clear, even though many parts of the worksheet seem to be confusing or elusive. The other thing that was demonstrated through the process last week was how many different worksheets can be discovered while trying to complete the worksheet for the original upset.

We have talked about the Faster EFT process, and tonight we may watch a portion of a video about how similar the Faster EFT process is to the Reality Management Worksheet process, and how similar the teachings are of the man who created Faster EFT, to the teachings of Dr. Michael Ryce. This combination of tools is so wonderfully effective that you simply have to experience it to believe it.

Please feel free to join us either Tuesday Evenings, or Thursday Evenings, OR BOTH!!!

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Dear Friends,
I just finished the Internet Radio Show with Dr. Michael and Jeanie Ryce, in which I tried to find the words to describe the power of last night’s Mindshifter Group in Woodstock, IL. You can find links to the archive of the radio show at www.whyagain.org. The Mindshifters Group last night was another wonderful example of the power of these groups, and the tools we teach, to help us cancel and release our pain, fear, sadness, and anger.

One of our newer group attendees was experiencing rage and agreed to do a Reality Management Worksheet to help dismantle his anger.  This was the first Reality Management Worksheet he had ever done.  He began with what he described as rage that was higher than ten on a scale of zero to ten. He described a real life situation in which he has had his reputation brutally attacked on the Internet, with the result that his career has been “ruined”, and he described how he has lost money and relationships because of the blatant lies people have chosen to spread about him on the Internet.

When we helped him step through the worksheet process and clearly identify his goal for those who have lied about him, and then cancel that goal and ask to be shown the hidden part of his mind which was causing his rage, he got in touch with the fact that he has felt this intensity of rage many times in his life, going back to his pre-teenage years. This helped him see that the energy he was experiencing as rage was not just coming in reaction to the current, and recent, events in his life. This allowed him to begin to question whether he could release and let go some of the old energies, thoughts, and conclusions that have fed his rage and defensiveness for years.

At the end of the worksheet process he was no longer feeling rage – he was feeling intense confusion. So he agreed to do some Faster EFT tapping, and we spent the better part of thirty minutes tapping and breathing, canceling goals, and consciously releasing and letting go of the energies, and conclusions he has carried for decades which were feeding his rage. At the end of that period of tapping he been through rage, sadness, shame, hurt, and laughter, and reported feeling light and relaxed and energized.

Today, over 14 hours later, he called the Internet show to report that he is still feeling light, energized,why and deeply grateful for the tools and the opportunity to release the intense, painful energies he has carried for decades.

You can check out Faster EFT on YouTube where the creator Robert Smith has placed dozens of videos which allow you to learn this powerful and effective technique.
It is a joy and an honor to be a part of that Mindshifters Group, and again I wish to thank all of those who have participated in creating the Loving and Safe space where such powerful healing work can happen more easily.

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Last night in the Tuesday Mindshifters meeting in Woodstock, IL we began the group with a reading from the book Butterflies are Free to Fly by Stephen Davis. The first part of the book reviews the Allegory of The Cave by Plato. The author also updates the allegory and moves it into a movie theater with a 360 degree 3D IMAX screen.

For those of you who don’t know about the allegory, it is a story that Plato used as a teaching device to help students question their perception, and to question whether there may be levels of reality which are more subtle than, but just as real or perhaps even more real than, the physical world we perceive with our five senses.

I brought this reading into our group last night to help reinforce the actual process that happens every time someone does a Reality Management Worksheet, and shifts their perception and therefore their response to what they believed were the events in their life. If we can begin to understand at deeper and deeper levels that we really are creating our experience of life in each moment, then the power of the Reality Management Worksheet Process and the Ancient Aramaic process of Forgiveness can have an even greater impact on us.

The book Butterflies are Free to Fly is available for free download. The Reality Management Worksheet is available at www.whyagain.org and is the core of the work we do in the Mindshifters groups. This tool allows us to directly access and remove from our systems any energy which is less than Love, and therefore directly improve our experience and quality of life.

Again I wish to thank all of those participants who bring their loving energy to these groups, and who are helping to make this world a better place, by removing the energies within themselves which block their awareness of their true nature as Love.

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Last night in the Thursday Mindshifters Group in Crystal Lake, IL we watched another segment of the lecture by Dr. Michael Ryce titled Purpose, Personal Power, and Commitment. The point of this lecture is outline a specific way for each individual to create, clarify and continually revise their purpose for living and the things they choose to do for Service to others. In this way of looking at things, Service is like the rent we pay for being on this planet. Service becomes the vehicle through which we can express our individual talents and passions which make the life we are living and the world we are living in, more Loving, Respectful and Joyous.

After the video the discussion among attendees raised the issue of being stuck, even though the person felt they were clear about their purpose. We discussed how this is a common situation, and how the solution may lie in either the need to refine one’s purpose and vision of “How The World Will Look When It Is Perfect”, or the solution may lie in removing the negative thoughts, beliefs and traumatic energies one holds. The second solution is aided by all of the tools we use in the Mindshifters Group and the website www.whyagain.org where Dr. Ryce and Jeanie Ryce have made their tools available for FREE.

The list of tools is too long for this note, but includes, The Reality Management Worksheet, The Codependent To Interdependence Worksheet, the Mindshifters Tool, The Three Earliest Memories of Conflict Worksheet, and numerous others. The free material also includes the ability to read the entire book, Why Is This Happening To Me Again, and almost four years of archived audio files of the Internet Radio show including at least 12 specific shows in which someone has been helped through the Reality Management Worksheet process.

It was also observed, yet again last night, that almost every time someone in the group volunteers to do a worksheet, the theme for the worksheet chosen is an issue that several other people in the group are also struggling with. The power and consistency of this Synchronicity is amazing and helps to reinforce for those in attendance, “that we are all the same”, and that despite our outer differences, we each have much more in common with our fellow human beings than we can ever see if we are looking through the filters of Hostility or Fear.  So the key to True Perception is to restore our conscious awareness to our True Nature as The Extension of Love In form, by systematically removing everything that is unlike Love from our energy systems.

Thanks again to all those to choose to do this work and those who attend the Mindshifters Support Groups around the world.

We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Last night’s Mindshifter Group watched the second half of the lecture by Dr. Michael Ryce titled: Purpose, Personal Power, and Commitment. This lecture points out the value of developing an individualized purpose for your life, and how the repeated use of that purpose to focus your choices and actions each day, can radically transform you life and effectiveness. The second half of this lecture details how the process of suppression and denial takes us away from our connection to our source, and moves us down that path toward unconsciousness and illness.

The discussion which followed the lecture included a testimonial by one member of how useful the Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping, (EFT), was for her recently, and this led to a review of EFT and the Cortices Tapping from Body Talk, as just two possible additional tools. We have observed that the use of breathing and tapping techniques can help us process and release unneeded negative energies which may be stirred up in us when we are doing Reality Management Worksheets. Once these energies are processed and released, it is easier to complete the worksheet process and reach resolution on the issue.

We also teach in this group that when trying to understand a new and complex idea, it is helpful to approach it from a number of different perspectives. In line with that concept, we talked on Tuesday evening about the work of teachers like Guy Finley, Abraham Hicks, A Course In Miracles, and The Way of Mastery. The similarity between all of these teachings and Dr. Michael Ryce’s teachings is striking as it relates to learning to stay tuned in to Loving energies within oneself.

We discussed how Abraham Hicks teaches that unconditional Love is really about learning to feel Loving within oneself – in all conditions! Learning to resonate with the energy of “Source” without waiting for the outside conditions to change, so that we can then say that those conditions made us feel Loving.

As always I appreciate the participation of all those who attend these groups and who apply these tools to help themselves live from the realization that…
We Come From Love, We Are Made Of Love, We Are Love! Everything else is false.

Dear Friends,

We will be meeting again this Thursday in Crystal Lake, from 6:30 – 9:00 pm and watching the second half of the video titled “Purpose, Personal Power, and Commitment”.  We will continue to support the attendees in creating, refining, and using their Secondary Purpose as described in the lecture.  The use of your Secondary Purpose is a powerful tool for focusing your energy, and making certain that you are living in accordance with your values, talents, and passions.

The joy, ease, increase in effectiveness, and peace of mind that comes from living in alignment with your Primary and Secondary Purpose is beyond words and can only be appreciated once it has been experienced.  I invite you to join us for this rewarding process and the support of a group of like-minded people to maximize your benefits.

I have deep gratitude for those who have participated in the past few groups,  and have sent me messages of appreciation for this process and the group.

Please remember that the Thursday evening support group has limited seating so please RSVP to me at thayes@ch4cs.com

We Come From Love, We Are Made From Love, We Are Love!  Everything else is false.
