Moments of Awareness (MoA) Collection

Who do we serve if not ourselves.

And when we serve ourselves ...
... we have the wonderful opportunity to serve others.

And when we can serve others ...
... we truly serve OurGod.

As your Knowledge evolves into Understanding ...
... and your Understanding transforms into Wisdom
... so too your Free Will approaches God's Will
... as they move closer to each other
... toward a merging into Oneness.

Peace - Joy - Love
Faith - Trust - Surrender
I can - I will - I must
Knowledge - Understanding - Wisdom
Beauty - Loving Kindness - Strength
Explore - Discover - Awaken

First learn your purpose.

Then live your purpose.

Finally, become your purpose.

And with purpose, you'll always have meaning in your life.

My mentor and teacher, Julio Olalla, ...
... stated during one of his lectures and I quote,
... "The mastery of life is knowing when to ask for help."

And I added, "And ask before it's too late."

Some miracles have logical explanations ...
... and some miracles not.

So, look for miracles in all things ... just remove the logic.

And appreciate each miracle with gratitude from your heart.

What is your way you connect to YourGod …
… to nourish your heart and nourish soul?

Some nourish their heart and soul by prayer …
… and some by meditation
… and some by being in nature.
Some do it with song and others with dance.

And some … not at all.

What is your way you connect to YourGod?

Be the Light of Peace.
Be the Light of Joy.
Be the Light of Love.
Be the Light of YourGod

Be the Light … Be the light.

Last night I sat out on my small patio and looked up at the stars as I reflected on what I discussed with my doctor earlier in the afternoon.

The first thought that went through my mind when I saw the Little Dipper was wonder if I had ever been there in a previous existence.

Then the reality of the solution to correct my heart issues was next in line ... heart bypass.

I am so very grateful as I know this is an opportunity ...
... an opportunity that offers me the chance to be reborn
... to be the caterpillar that comes out a butterfly.

I am ready to fly again, no make that soar ...
... with a fresh awareness of life.

Unknowingly or knowingly, for some individuals ...
... TheirGod is the god of their EGO
... service to self.

Unknowingly or knowingly, for some individuals ...
... TheirGod is the god of their Heart and Soul
... service to others.

Unknowingly or knowingly, for most individuals ...
... their relationship to TheirGod lies somewhere in between
... sometimes in harmony and sometimes in dissention
... between themselves and the world that surrounds them.

God of Ego ... or God of Heart and Soul ...
... the choice is always yours.

Today, I graciously acknowledge and fully recognize ...
... "the-who" that I have become, now serves me well
... and "the-who" I have been will no longer serve me.

In 20/20 hindsight, I can clearly see how I have evolved ...
... evolved from a self-centered loving spirit ...
... to a loving spirit committed to be of service to others.

I always thought of myself as a compassionate spirit ...
... a spirit that desired to be of service to others ...
... just never understood the humble practice of "surrender"
... of letting go of ego to accomplish this desire.

Thank you, Hashem, for this transformative understanding.

Thank you, Hashem, for adding to the wisdom of my soul.

"I Trust the Wisdom of my Soul ...
... to Trust the Wisdom of the Universe."

For me, now a daily practice ...
... Trusting the Wisdom of my Soul.

My Dear Kathleen and Stephen,

Please know I am grateful to you each ...
... and I truly appreciate my 'safe-living-work-space'
... as this space allowed me to be a free spirit evolving
... to a new and fresh 'life dimension' that I've entered.

May the coming New Year bring you each ...
... 'worthy' journeys of light ...
... and experience a fresh awakening,
... to a new kind of Peace and Joy and Love
... as it graciously nourishes your hearts and souls.

For me, what continues to make 'life' 'worth' 'connecting-to'
... is the possibility of 'giving and receiving' ...
... the 'nourishing-energy' of 'unconditional-love'.

'Sweet-thoughts' 'worthwhile' 'enjoying'.

I am finally ready to accept 'What is, is ...'
... that letting go of the thoughts that once were
... is the only way to move on in my life
... and grateful for the most difficult lessons
... life has ever taught me.

And I have faith in the reality of what lies ahead for me
... and has been patiently waiting to welcome me home.

It's the right thing to do
... and to start my fresh tomorrows, today.

My declaration to all that know me ...

"I am dedicating my 'daily-being' to 'participate' in making the world a 'better' place.

This practice has become the 'State of My Spirit'.
Feels very right ... with both purpose and meaning.

Perhaps it's also about practicing the art of being ...
... each others 'angel' when there is an 'opportunity' to do so.

Join me ...

P.S. The above words within 'tick-marks' may have different meanings to some.

(Before you begin reading this note my Brother, please know I am writing it not for you ... but for me.)

Dear Brother, for as long as I remember, I always wanted to be brothers with you ... as friends and pals ... even though you were 15 years older and I had no idea what being brothers meant except what I learned in movies and TV as a kid. It all seemed a wonderful possibility.

One thing I'm pretty certain about, we both had the same birth mother ... just not sure about our birth father(s) however ... the same or different.

And yes, at times, we did seem to connect (or unconnect) to each other as "brothers" ... but for "whatever" the reason ... we never connected with an emotional understanding and acceptance of the other ... and for sure we never connected as spiritual beings with understanding and acceptance of each other's visions.

Then there are your secrets ... the ones that continued to act as a wall between us ... over and over again. I often imagined what many of those little secrets were and still are tucked away in the corners of your mind.

But I've stopped using your secrets as excuses as to why we never connected and have moved on to acceptance and finally leaving "my denial" behind once and for all. Not an easy personal desire to let go of ... but necessary.

(this note to be continued ... or not?)

I am now one week into starting my 77th year ...
... as Ronald R. Kaufman on planet Earth.

And for me, it's a whole different world today than the 1970s and 1980s ...
... when I was in my 30s and 40s
... still learning much of my education on life as an adult.

And now in my 70s, the realization that I needed to re-assess and re-adjust ...
... many of these learning from my past
... as "the-who" that I was, no longer felt comfortable to me
... allowing the possibility for Ronnie Kaufman
... to emerge with a new purpose in life
... a purpose of serving others.
