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 - CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIGHT

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 - DESCEND THEN TRANSCEND
Thursday May 17, 2018
Thursday May 17, 2018
We must do shadow work, to go down into the depths of our psyche in order to the work of Transcendence. We must clear our subconscious debris, go down into the tomb, die to the false self, so we can rise up in glory and radiance and truth. Without doing depth work, we are shallow people. We must acknowledge our “weeds” of darkness, let them grow along side the “wheat” (light) in us, and be transformed through a process of coming into greater awareness. Bryan talks about Jungian Psychology, the shadow, and talks about the path to the True Christed Self. He talks about how suffering is a choice that we make, not a necessity. Recognizing darkness in us helps us to evolve and grow by shining light on our shadow nature that we repress from conscious awareness.

Explore with Bryan Rice, the ideas surrounding grace and evolution of consciousness and how important it is to try and maintain grace in seemingly disastrous and unpleasant experiences. It is all a matter of perspective and about changing your perception on how you view what to one person may seem to be unfavorable and challenging, but to another with a transformed perception, one can see such circumstances as opportunities for grace to flow into one’s life and raise one’s awareness to Higher Consciousness.

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 - THE ACTUALITY OF DESIRE
Tuesday May 15, 2018
Tuesday May 15, 2018
How does desire drive our lives? Desire is a gift from the Divine, a fiery energy. How does desire aid in our awakening? Can desire energy, when harnessed allow us to evolve? Desire energy when not harnessed can lead to suffering. Bryan promotes a form of meditation he was taught that deals with desire energy taught by Anmol Mehta (anmolmehta.com), the Silent Mind Meditation Technique, a seven step process. The Cosmic Play of Forces within us causes the process of involution and evolution. Taking two steps forward, and three backwards at time. We can be taken hostage by our desires and the fluctuations of the mind. Bryan mentions the Yoga Sutras (Pantanjali) and how stilling the fluctuations of the mind brings peace. But our constant pursuits stemming from desire can bring suffering and dis-ease. Desire is a power that is operative in our conscious and subconscious minds. We are driven to excel and to accomplish. This is a good thing. What are some pursuits to let go of? The attachment to needing to be special or an individual (constant need to be affirmed for our identity through self-definitions), our attachment to needing to be successful at all costs, the attachment to excessive self-promotion and inflated self-worth, the desires for fame and recognition (very hard to let go of this need to be recognized and important), the incessant need for acceptance and praise (things that we let define our self-esteem), we can be driven by the need for false joy to counteract pain through indulgence, we can be driven by the need to avoid reality, to power, to be needed by others, obsessions with sensual pleasures, emotionality, external stimulation, co-dependence on others, the need to exert control, and more. How can we meditate on ways to harness our desires to reduce and eliminate suffering, or currents in the mind that drive us to pursue certain ideals. Most of our ideals are illusory however noble they may seem. We need to release the thoughts that say we “should” do something to be happy. Find out what stands in the way of being in the present moment.

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.

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.
