This episode of Turning Points and Transformations was a discourse and a sharing of insights inspired by a Course Bryan took called "910: Living in the World While Waking Up". He covered talked about the function of time as our ego's like to use it, how the past can imprison and condition us, he suggests ways to release the past, and to become more awakened to the Presence of Love in the Now, thus writing for ourselves a better future. He drew from a variety of resources and spiritual teachers to compliment some of his insights gained through life's struggles and personal victories. Love's Presence in the Now is how to have sacred communion and union with the Divine.

TURNING POINTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS - THE MYTH OF SPECIALNESS
Monday Jun 04, 2018
Monday Jun 04, 2018
The extraordinary can be found in the ordinary. Living lives of fame, recognition, and status in the world doesn’t guarantee specialness or an exalted nature of any kind. Self-importance doesn’t translate to the spiritual journey. Bryan shares his experiences of having wrestled with this temptation when he was looking to pursue a career in acting and was wrapped up in himself. We all like to be the center of our own universe, but we are not the individuals we think we are. We are all the same, come from the same Source, and should not define ourselves in terms of our differences or uniqueness. The need to be “different” or to stand out is something we all are susceptible to and this is a drive of type fours on the Enneagram. We have no reason to feel inferior to others or to have to compare ourselves to others to find self-worth.
The myth of specialness can be demystified by coming into the awareness that nothing we lack nothing as Creations of Divinity and do not need praise, fame, or elevated status to feel worthy of what comes from our True Nature (Infinite Love). We are all important in the eyes of the Divine’s plan for each one of us, but again, are not more special or more important than anyone else in this dream world. Being in the public eye does not set a person apart or make them superior. Specialness is debunked by the great text A Course in Miracles. Bryan urges listeners to be humble and to count their blessings if they do hold positions of status in this world. Are you comfortable being on the fringe and living in vitality? Live in your excellence and be thankful and transcend all illusions of the need for approval, praise, and inflation. Observe yourself, not exalt yourself. You will be forever, all that you are, all that you need to be happy.
The meditation and affirmation by Bryan shared at the end of the episode “Allowing and Accepting the Now” is from his album “Light Transmissions” available as an mp3 for purchase on bryanrice.org, amazon mp3, iTunes, and streams on various sites as well.

TURNING POINTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS - CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIGHT
Sunday Jun 03, 2018
Sunday Jun 03, 2018
Why do we burn candles, light fires, and use the imagery of light in sacred events, to speak of the aura, celestial beings, or is frequently recalled in near-death experiences? Why do visionary experiences speak of an influx of inner light? Light is infinitesimal, vast, and beyond comprehension. We seek to grasp and understand, some truths, some mysteries to our existence and we can know deep within that we are and we became and were begotten by One Light, that of which is Whole and “Is” always. The field of Light from which we came is a constant and will continue to be a constant and forever, because it is everlasting. We live in a world of separation, but in reality we never separated ourselves from the Infinite and the Unified Field of God Awareness. Many forms seem to exist, but all that is came from One Source. An illimitable Source. Light comes into the world through us. We will forever be light and lit by the experience of Love. Nothing can change that. We exist in the first Primordial state of Oneness. In the midst of that original state, our True Nature is found. We are not separated from Light, though we may seem to be caught in darkness at times in our life. Light is the One uniting commonality of all things. Light is our Essence and what we celebrate during festive holiday seasons, celebrating inner light. Light has come through individuals and will always come through individuals. The One Source, the Unified Field of Awareness emanated us and light seems to come into this world through gradations of the one Light Continuum. Light is power. We have within us, the inner “guru” which means the “light that dispels darkness”. This source within transforms us. Light in this world seems to be fractured, but light is All-encompassing and over-powering. It is fascinating to explore and brings a comfort in times of sorrow. Light enables us to celebrate and dig deep within ourselves. Consciousness and Light are both ever-expansive. We seek Light-bearers and many have come into the world as avatars. The Allness of Light Presence is expressed as the True Self, called by many names, The Atman, The Self, The Christ, The Buddha Nature, Krishna Consciousness. No matter who we are, where we are, what we’ve done, we will always be an illumined source of light. Light is used to represent Spirit during holiday seasons. Light is eternal. And Oneness and Light are synonymous and interchangeable. There is nowhere that Light is not.

TURNING POINTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS - CHOOSE NOT TO SUFFER
Wednesday May 16, 2018
Wednesday May 16, 2018
Pain and the ego are equated and you have a choice whether to suffer or not. Anytime you are in pain of any kind, you are experiencing the ego. We have the ability to program ourselves with happiness. When we are in Pure Presence or Essence, we are not identified with the ego. Though most therapeutic systems will tell you that you need to have healthy ego boundaries. Spirituality would say that you first need an ego in order to transcend an ego. We need to command a new Presence. The “Is-ness” of our True Nature is Presence and suffering is not desirable as is taught in many Eastern Spirituality traditions. Suffering is self-created. Bryan encourages people to put aside ingrained beliefs about suffering being somehow a sign of “holiness” or “worthiness”.
We do not need to crucify ourselves and need to take the crown of thorns off of our head and take the nails out of our hands and feet. Most of us in the West have been conditioned to believe that suffering is somehow admirable in the eyes of God. We are Infinitely Blessed, Loved, and “Need Do Nothing” to experience our Divinity. Pain comes from fear and emotions such as anger are draining to our life force. Anything that causes “dis-ease”, is not from our True Self. Only our egos can be offended. According to A Course In Miracles, God, who is beyond all gender, does not condemn nor inflict vengeance and suffering onto anyone out of punishment. We are whole, we are One, we are Innocent. Seeming to fall from grace is an illusion, it is not real, it is a “side show”. There is a way to live in moral harmony. When we hear words like “yield” and “surrender” yourself to a loving God. What it really means is being open and receptive to the Divine Flow of Life Force in our Being. We live in maya, or delusion as is spoken of in the East and God and the “Devil” are not outside of you. Choosing to live in duality creates suffering as well. Bryan talks about the movie “The Passion of the Christ” and how its depiction of the suffering of Jeshua (Jesus) was an extreme portrayal of what the human ego does to humanity.

TURNING POINTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS - CONSCIOUS HEALING
Tuesday May 15, 2018
Tuesday May 15, 2018
In this updated, edited, and enhanced episode with new material added to it, Conscious Healing takes aim at the both the cause of and healing of sickness or illness. Drawing from A Course In Miracles in the 2018 material and then Kundalini Yoga in the 2013 latter part of this episode, Bryan presents ways one can heal the mind and body through a change in perception or way of looking at one’s life. The ugliness of guilt and sorrow create pain and the seeds for illness. Forgiveness is the means for healing what is fractured in our minds so that we may return to Wholeness and Oneness. We are not victims of the world nor outside forces, but can be empowered to heal by seeing innocence first in one’s self and then in others.

THE RELEASEMENT MASS
Sunday Dec 31, 2017
Sunday Dec 31, 2017
The Releasement Mass is an adaptation of several liturgies with original material by Bryan Rice, but is unique unto itself. This Mass was inspired by the Gnostic Liturgy of Peace and by spiritual teachers such as Tau Malachi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Rosamonde Miller, and Patricia Jepsen Chuse. This Mass is an empowerment and mix of shamanism, A Course in Miracles, Non-dual Gnosticism, and elements of dance that are part of the Cosmic Mass created by Matthew Fox. Come and be uplifted and freed from compulsions and desires that cause suffering and neurosis. Experience something you have never given yourself permission to take part in before. This Mass transcends any one tradition and is a partaking in the Light and Life Force of the Radiant Christ Presence. It is not a sacrifice in any way. It is a remembrance of our True Nature and Oneness in the Divine.

In this episode from 2011, from a mindset of one who has battled, wrestled, and sought to integrate the entire range of experiences from Deep God Communion to mental agony, Bryan draws from strong imagery and metaphor to describe not only what he went through, but he also tries to universalize brokenness, fragmentation, and what Toltec Master Don Miguel Ruiz calls “the mental disease of fear”, by putting it into a context of what a hurricane is like and how a “flood” of imagery erupting from the collective unconscious can create massive chaos, hallucinations, and other mental disturbances (“The Thousand Barking Dogs”). He reiterates, that psychological “noise” and disturbances of the psyche can be combated by identifying with the I Am Presence, that of which we are, within. Silence and stillness can be attained. Drawing on teachings of Ruiz and A Course in Miracles, he points out that only Love is real, and it is the wounds of fear, an “emotional poison” that influences other “venomous emotions”, all stemming from the imperial ego, that lead to mental unrest. Bryan shares personal stories and challenges with the various phenomenon mentioned above. He talks at length about how he integrated his shadow to gain new found awareness and to “exorcise” emotional demons through his art work. Bryan wants people to know that you can survive Dark Night of the Soul experiences that may take the form of mental illnesses and that you can recover from them with proper guidance and discernment. He shares poems that were later released as songs on the album “Fractured & Delivered”, where he had the chance to tell his story of recovery, discovery, and transcendence. More information on how to listen to or buy that album can be found at bryanrice.org.

Bryan continues in what was the prologue of the book “Silencing a Thousand Barking Dogs”, which inspired this series at the start of this episode. He talks some more about the focalized experiences that seemed to happen outside of him, but the shift in awareness was really taking place inside him. He references Eucharistic Adoration that was dear to him at the time, the experiencing of Pure Presence (Real Presence) in the Blessed Sacrament held in a monstrance on an altar. Bryan spent many hours and months in Adoration, and later came to realize that the Christ Presence on the altar that he seemed to “feel” was really an activation and a recognition of the inward Christ Presence within him. So, the outward Presence led him to a greater interior reality, and to experiences of “Light Transmissions” (later he wrote a book and set of audio recordings published and released by this very title - for more information go to bryanrice.org) and continuous “Holy Tears”. These tears or the primal joy was experienced through a yielding into the Divine Presence by bringing himself into intimate union through the celebrating of Mass (not the traditional understanding of Mass as a sacrifice, but nonetheless, the “Holy Meal”). He says that everyone can experience the type of joy he refers to in their own way through other means such as devotional forms like Bhakti Yoga, to name one.
Bryan then shifts to what it was like after his glimpse of Eternal Bliss, when he had to go back down into the world, so to speak, and ground himself. He mentions having withdrawn from the world before returning to it, spending a great deal of time sifting through all the emotions and information attained in a recluse-like manner, avoiding engaging in outward relationships for quite awhile. Bryan spent a lot of time in silence, expressing himself in bursts of what he later came to know as mania, as understood by worldly psychological systems that resulted in an outpouring of massive life-size puppetry, art work, the writing of poetry, books, screenplays, and music. But he later had to come to grips with the reality that his recluse state could not last. He admits to having had trouble finding the Divine Presence in ordinary life experiences involved with other human beings. He attributed his creativity to the awakening of Kundalini Desire Energy at the base of the astral spine in the “Inner Edenic-state of Fruitfulness”, which he will get more into in a later discourse. Bryan refers to teachings of one of his gurus Paramahansa Yogananda, a Christ-like Hindu who came to the west, when he said there was a purpose to Moses raising up the golden serpent in the wilderness to heal the Hebrew people who had been bitten by snakes. This biblical imagery is rich, Bryan says with esoteric symbolism and related to Kundalini Desire Energy in an outward symbol, a way the people could understand in their consciousness at that time in the evolution of awareness. Again, in a later discourse he will explain the meaning of the saying “The Son of Man must be raised up like Moses did the golden serpent in the wilderness” (ordinary human consciousness must be transcended into divine knowing or “Gnosis”).
Bryan tries to make listeners understand how someone who experiences a “Radiant” “Divine Experience” can come to be identified as neurotic, psychotic, even obsessive, and having mood swings and disturbances in personality, to further seem to manifest Schizoid-like/Schizophrenic-like and Bipolar like symptoms. Using references to activity in the chakras, imbalances in Kundalini energy, and citing what is commonly understood by mystics as “The Dark Night of the Soul”, Bryan attributes his “post-realization” experiences to this period of necessary humbling and even integrating and balancing within the astral and physical anatomy, the influx of spiritual energy he received.
Bryan said back in 2011 when this was originally recorded, that he is going to dedicate his life to teaching others to become enlightened. But he makes the point that attaining enlightenment is not “a quick fix bliss experience”, that there is more to it, that it is a process of “finding” and “losing” the treasure we try to protect (that of Divine Realization). Bryan says the purpose of his being swept away in the “Red Sea” like experience was one of death to his ego and learning to come to terms with all the negative, spiritual “life” threatening capabilities that stem from identifying with the ego.

EPISODE 7
This episode starts with the notion that Intentions behind rituals as well as the “Presence” brought to them, helps to create an interior experience free of ruminating thoughts. This is a continuation from the discourse in episode 6.
Bryan talks more about his “God Shock” experience and how it influenced him to answer callings to many spiritual roles. But he is able to admit that the callings he received are not to be defined by the various roles he plays. He talks about not taking self-definitions seriously and renounces the idea of specialness. He shares his perspective on how, he, like Jeshua (Jesus) had to face mirages in the desert wilderness of his mind and had to wrestle with his ego. Bryan says he was called to a path called “The Way”, not to an institution or a role.
He briefly mentions all the ways we crucify ourselves and divide our psyche. The shattered psyche, expressed many times through mental illness, is the experience of the crown of thorns. Then he says that a sick mind creates a sick body. The body has experiences, but is not the “experiencer”. He points to the “Witnessing Consciousness”. He believes like other spiritual teachers that everything is evolving back towards God. The way of suffering that Bryan has traveled has allowed him to become a healer. He says that religion is a means not an end and that he is on a path of inclusivity after his awakening to Love.
The “Way”, the path, is what original followers of Christ followed before the institution of state religion. This “Way” includes “Life” or “Abundance”, “Death” (to the false self), “Resurrection” of the True Self, or what Hindus call the “Atman”, then it culminates in “Ascension” or “Transcendence”, and then later into “Assumption” or what he calls “The Cosmic-Bliss- Principle”, known more traditionally as the many mansions of God. We are all called to this path in our lives. Jeshua (Jesus) as an enlightened, self-realized being, demonstrated that we can all walk this path and should. Many saints and mystics from all religions and spiritualities have went through all these stages in their lives.
The process of Ascension he says, is rising above thought (the barking dogs), rising above body consciousness (dog-like desires), rising above impulses (dog-like instincts), rising above chemical messages in the brain, and rising above all the physical manifestations that keep us matterward or in our egoic script and screenplay (maya and delusion). Heaven he says is experienced in the upper chakras of our astral anatomy. Our bodies experience internally, the Cosmic Bliss Principle. But we can experience a descent “hell” by solely identifying with the body.
Bryan wants people to recognize the darkness as well as the light. Not to be defined by our darkness, but to name it. He references the biblical image of the “Wheat and the Weeds” (Yang-Yin) and says they are within us. We are made of dark, light, and admixed energy and these all influence our perceptions of self, God, and creation and what we project and manifest.
Bryan ultimately admits that he had to stop priding himself on being “religious” and learn to just “Be”, meaning, “Be present as presence”. After his transfiguration-like experience he owned up to the fact that he will have to pay that forward and go back down the “mountain” back into the “valleys”, back into the world to serve, like the disciples of Jeshua (Jesus) were told to do after witnessing their master’s Transfiguration.
Bryan cautions people about the temptation to get stuck in the specialness (or inflation) felt after having a mystical experiences. He, though he resisted, had to go back into the world to “serve”. Bryan furthermore, is thankful for the gift of “Holy Tears” that he was given - the joy, that motivates him to help pull others out of fear into love, and ultimately out of afflictive emotions into uplifting emotions and states of being.
Ultimately, he sums up our purpose. It is to be aware, to be present, to know who we are, to know who we are in God, to allow God to live through us, and to see God in everyone else.

In part one of the talk “God Shock”, before talking about abnormal ritualistic behavior, habits, obsessions, and fixations that are a continuation of his analogies of the “Thousand Barking Dogs” we need to silence to have lasting peace and deep joy, Bryan takes some time to talk about his understanding of enlightenment and what is expected of us after having had peak experiences or gradations in Higher Awareness/Consciousness. He shares what was the most powerful experience and time in his life where he truly felt Transfigured in the light of the Divine Allness. The All-Encompassing Love, beauty, the wonder, and the awe he experienced through what A Course in Miracles would call “Revelation”, Gnostics would call “Gnosis” or Divine Realization, even God-Contact, the Buddhists would call “Satori” (flashes of Insight), what Christian Mystics would call Communion with God, and what great Yogis and many Hindus would call Samadhi (Bryan called his experience “Spontaneous Samadhi and the “Divine Portal” This experience “happened” to Bryan. He didn’t do anything to earn it through meritocracy. True Grace was freely given by the Divine and That Source blessed him with the experience of Love he had been searching for his entire life. He has spent almost fifteen years trying to contemplate and understand this “Influx” of Love and Light, but he humbly admits, that mystical experiences don’t last forever and that true Enlightenment is found by being truly present in the “Now”, without any fear. Mystical experiences are often times followed by a period known as “The Dark Night of the Soul”, which Bryan spends more time exploring how this personally affected his spiritual journey and shift in awareness.

Desire is a gift from the Divine, but when we think and act from our “dog-like” desires they try to and can exert a great deal of control over and destruction in our lives. He says that desire and passion can spread like wildfire when unharnessed or directed in a healthy, life-giving way. Bryan further talks about the relationship between love and desire. He highlights that we give away our life power when we direct all our energy toward outward things and people to fulfill our innermost desires.
Using the analogy of the behavior of dogs to talk about love, our heart’s desires, and emotionality and how there can be a see saw battle between how human love versus love for the Divine Presence is expressed Bryan taps into a topic that is relevant to all of humanity.
This episode presents the idea that desire can and should be seen in terms of gradations and dealing with desire is a balancing act. Desire-Energy (Fiery Intelligent Desire) or Kundalini (coiled) is housed in the base of the astral-metaphysical spine, and can lay dormant until activated. This energy is the evolutionary force in humanity that can he used for amazing things or could end, in what Bryan calls, “hellish macabre”. The activation of desire-energy, the kundalini, puts in motion our enormous potential and provides the "fruit" of our awakening.
Bryan argues that the primal separation from the Divine that occurred, that came from the desire known as the "Tiny Mad Idea", (as taught in A Course in Miracles) to be the "only God", to usurp the power and potential of God, driven by a hunger for "more", was a process of desire energy being projected and hurled outward. The split ego mind came about, he says through the force of duality (a desire to experience something other than the Edenic State of Oneness) that caused the Big Bang creating the world and manifest reality filled with myriad forms and mirages “appearing” to be real. This discourse elucidates the idea that all the forms that make up this world are a projection from our minds. The brilliant gift of desire driven intelligence planted in our hearts by the Divine Presence is the very force that causes us to be creators and want to express our God-Like potential. Our attempt to be “All that Is” fueled the dream we have come to know as the physical universe, world, and the life stories we script and play out through desires that come from the split ego-mind.
Join Bryan in exploring this daring discourse on the power and “psychological noise” of desire and how this creates enormous appetites to find satisfaction through the senses.

In this discourse (Episode 4), Bryan shares some of his music, the songs “Red Agony”, and “Fuel”, and “Desire Dipped in Kerosene” to illustrate the power of desire in our lives. Desire is a gift from the Divine, but when we think and act from our “dog-like” desires they try to and can exert a great deal of control over and destruction in our lives.

Are you annoyed by repetitive, loud barking dogs? Have you ever have the experience where one dog’s barking sets off a chain reaction in the neighborhood? Bryan illustrates in this episode that this kind of nuisance is a metaphor to help understand the reactive, habitual, obsessive tendencies and “chatter patterns” of our split ego mind. He talks about the universal experience humans have of dealing with psychological noise. Bryan calls this the “barking god-dog syndrome.” He says we can’t just tune out those “Thousand Barking Dogs”, but rather we need to tame the lower reactive “dog nature”, the blind sense-mind, that is.
Do we really hear? Do we really listen? If we would really pay attention and be fully aware, we would realize that our ego-minds are extremely restless and tense. Filled with turmoil. We all hear inner voices that come from our split ego mind that prevent us hearing Divine Mind speak to us. The exciting thing is we can rewire our brain’s to think and act more clearly with that Higher God Mind. By the end of this in depth series you will be able to choose new ways to rewire your mind and transcend lower levels of consciousness through transmutation of darker, fearful energies we are susceptible to into pure radiant light.
At the core of who we all really are, none of us can be sick. Labels of science and medicine that are called disorders are merely an attempt to categorize human behavior and suffering, try to make sense of it, and bring about order through understanding by trying to treat the symptoms instead of getting to the root cause behind what appears to make us sick. Our bio-energetic systems are a ceaselessly flowing river of light and energy that on occasion appears to become form when viewed through the body’s eyes. This river of light seems to materialize when we choose separation or choose the illusion of material ‘reality’, or what appears to be reality and we thus create a “print out” our a being we call “self”. So, at any given moment, we may choose to inhabit or materialize a body that has a brain that may be wired or chemically imbalanced. Before the material is the energetic realm (astral realm). Before that is the realm of thought (causal realm). Thoughts become manifest when we have belief in them. And we make images from those thoughts, including bodies, that can appear to be sick.
What we are is awareness. We are not our thoughts, but we come from Thoughts in the Mind of Divinity. Divinity is one. Divinity is not dualistic. Divinity cannot be sick or make sickness. Only the split mind can. And that is our dilemma. How do we create without falsely manifesting? When we seem to experience suffering, sickness, or brokenness, we have attempted to cut ourselves off from the Wholeness of Divinity, The One great life, by choosing the insanity of separation (the choice to be an individual self) from Oneness.
Our thoughts do create the world we see and when we choose duality over Oneness with God Mind, we “hallucinate” an outside world and conditions of sickness. Bryan admits to ‘choosing’ through his split ego-mind to become a Schizo-Affective victim” and to suffering symptoms for a period of time. He has overcome this false “print out/false self” and is in recovery. What he doesn’t say in this discourse is that he also ‘chose’ to manifest an “Obsessive-Compulsive” false self as well. We all, however are subject to obsessions when we identify with our thoughts, specifically fear. Bryan emphasizes that we can always choose again, to be what we are - completely whole, completely one, complete stillness and at peace. Brokenness and fragmentation are not eternal states.
Finally, he doesn’t want people to think that he is minimizing human suffering, just providing another perspective from which to view how it ‘seems’ to come into existence and that, yes, it can appear quite real. Reframing one’s worldview and view of the True Self is the beginning of healing understanding that we ‘create’ alternate realities that appear to be true. We must take ownership of what we manifest out into what appears to be a our ‘reality’, specifically our pain and inner mental garbage. Throughout the series Bryan will share personal accounts of his journey of self-integration and he once again, emphasizes that mental afflictions can be transcended through identifying with Love, our Reality as Spirit, the One True Constant.
Bryan hopes that his story of deliverance from mental affliction is an inspiration to others. He touches on the awakening experience that changed his life and wants to contribute to the awakening of others. Those "Thousand Barking Dogs" called thoughts are not who we are.

This is a continuation of the Introduction to the "Silencing a Thousand Barking Dogs", series. Orginally published in the summer of 2011, Bryan shares his personal journey of awakening, discovery, and recovery along with insights of how to become free from thought structures, inner struggles, the duality of the mind, egoic mental chatter, fixations of obsessive thinking and how to become free from our thought structures and overcoming blocks to true conscious awareness of Divinity. He helps us remember that we are in Reality One with All That is, and that we are Pure Being, not thought, or mental restlessness created by the split egoic mind. Thoughts are just vibrations.
In this free Introductory sample to the paid Series to follow, Bryan introduces key ideas that influence what we help to manifest and bring into the world where we seem to experience reality. All creation originates out of a "womb of creation", a primordial matrix. Our stream of mental activity directly impact what we "seem" to experience here in this world.
Bryan talks about mental fragmentation and chatter that humans experience is a universal phenomenon. He wants everyone to know that a "diagnosis" is not anyone's true identity and can through perseverance be transcended through union and communion with Divinity and true transformation of and recovery from a mental affliction is a process of ongoing evolution in consciousness.
Ultimately, Bryan wants people to understand how our "mental tape recordings" can seem to control our lives, but this need not be. The goal is liberation from thought. Stillness. Peace. Beingness.
