Mindshifters Group 3-31-09

The Mindshifters group on Tuesday night watched the first half of the Michael Ryce lecture titled, “Empowered to Heal”.  The first part of the talk focused on the difference between the physical body and the “mind” that accompanies the physical body, and the soul, and the “mind” which accompanies the soul.  The idea of the physical mind being survival oriented and unable to do anything other than react to circumstances in a programmed way, much as the robin that builds the same kind of nest each year, or the salmon which returns to the place of its spawning to lay eggs and die.  The point was made that we have both the physical, “carbon based” memory, and the spiritual, energetically based mind, which allows us to choose our own actions.
