Page Menu Class 5 - Self-Awareness My Self-Awareness Journey 7 Paradigms of SA Introduction Importance Understanding Frequencies Exploring Phases Peace of Mind Self-Awareness Forum Journey 5 Understanding Self-Awareness with Journey Guide, Ronnie K Purpose: Welcome a meaningful life filled with Peace and Joy and Love. About My Own Self-Awareness Journey Below are the patterns of self-awareness I have discovered for myself during the "evening" of my life. Finding the unique "who" I truly was underneath it all ... those human traits (and perhaps at times those seemingly not-so-human traits too) that defined me as me. This was a life desire I had ever since I could remember. It seemed I was always asking myself "Who am I?" ... and over the course of my life, this answer was forever changing ... and yet, staying the same. And importantly, these awareness patterns included learning the meaning of and understanding such words as being grateful, accepting, surrendering, believing, trusting, and many others ... and applying them to my discovery quest. Perhaps you'll find additional words and actions that you will apply during your life journey as you look inside the human being you refer to as "self" as you discover and awaken to a Self-Awareness of your true authentic being. My Intention To share a compelling life paradigm of self-awareness, with those who have a strong desire to evolve to their own optimal state of being ... so they flourish in life in the vibrational frequency of Peace, Joy, and Love with All ... and most importantly, thrive as "the-who" they truly are. 1. Introduction to Self-Awareness "Welcome and join me as we journey to a place where there is no right or wrong ... to a place of SilentKnowing". Ronnie Kaufman b: 1947 Our planet has dramatically changed since it crossed over into the 21st century ... and mankind has drifted further and further apart from each other and from peace on earth. ​ And individually people have distanced themselves from "the-who" they organically are at their divine core Self ... becoming instead "the-who" they have been unknowin gly molded and reprogrammed to be by society ... the acceptable global culture we live in ... with twisted dimensions of physical, emotional, and spiritual awareness. 2. Discovering the Importance of Self-Awareness "I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul." Rumi 1206-1273 ToP What Your Self- Awareness Means for You Your own Self-Awareness invariably determines how you interpret the world you live in and how you interact in relationships as to what is good and bad from your perspective ... and what's right from wrong for you ... or not? Starting from a very early age, much of your Dimensions of Self-Awareness were defined for you by the key thought-influencers in your life ... their "truths" about life and the world as they knew it ... that often became your "truths". As you probably know, your initial key thought-influencers are parents, siblings, friends, teachers, community leaders, clergy, religious teachings ... and of course, the physical, emotional, and spiritual environments you lived. Where Life's Magic Happens But are your own Dimensions of Self-Awareness today truly serving you well? Or are they unknowingly locking you into the current status quo of your life ... because you either don't understand how to discover or don't want to believe that other Dimensions of Self-Awareness are even possible and available to you. Now consider this challenging reality if you already haven't. Where life's magic truly happens is ... outside your own personal comfort zone. ToP 3. Understanding the Dimensions of Self-Awareness "When the soul is starved for nourishment, it lets us know with feelings of emptiness, anxiety, or yearning" Rebbe 1902-1994 What Are Dimensions of Self-Awareness? Simply put, each of us has experienced many Dimensions of Self-Awareness over the course of our evolving life journeys. Some of our dimensions are very similar to the last ... while some very different. Our current Dimension of Self-Awareness is the culmination of the knowledge, experience, and wisdom we bring with us as we transform from one dimension to the next. NOTE: One dimension is not necessarily better than another ... they just radiate different energy frequencies based on the content of the Dimension of Self-Awareness they exist in. Dimensions of Self-Awareness Evolve Many reasons for Dimensions of Awareness to change ... some change is gradual ... and for some change, "bam", it's done. Major life-cycle events act as catalysts to our Self-Awareness changes ... things like the beginning and end of a relationship or marriage ... the death of a loved one ... career or job change or loss ... moving ... an NDE or difficult health issue ... starting or ending a social or religious group and many other life events. We've all experienced our own reasons for change ... and for some of us, more often than others. ToP 4. The Self-Awareness Frequencies "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." Brené Brown b: 1965 You "Knowing" You Frequency Towards Global Consciousness And when you begin living your life as the "authentic you" you were born with, your personal energy frequencies will also begin to recalibrate to include the frequencies of Global Consciousness. This is a key reason I am sharing this paradigm for those who are ready. Self-Awareness Expansion Another key benefit of understanding your patterns of self-awareness is it cultivates the expansion of your own self-awareness allowing passage to other rich dimensions of life to observe and interact with, dimensions with fresh and compelling real-world life journeys to explore and appreciate. 5. Exploring Your Own Self-Awareness ToP "Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul." Wayne Dyer 1940-2015 Is This All There Is? "You don't know what you don't know." And as your life journey continues each day, what you do know, are the only options and strategies you have to choose from as your life progresses. And one day, you find yourself asking, "Is this all there is?" And after you find yourself asking that question ... and if you feel an awakening beginning to happen in your GodSoul ... a calling out that tells you there is more to life beyond what you already know ... and a strong desire now growing inside your HumanSpirit ... then perhaps you are ready to make a major "Shift" in your dimensions of self-awareness to pass through to yet the next dimension of self-awareness. An Unopened Door And you are now ready to acknowledge that there is an unopened door to yet another Dimension of Awareness...an extraordinary door clearly with your name on it. And with enough courage, you'll open this door ... and step through to a new world of possibilities that awaits you ... possibilities unique to the-who you are at this very moment in time ... possibilities waiting just for you to explore and discover possibilities unique to the-who you are at this very moment in time ... possibilities waiting just for you to explore and discover ... possibilities that begin to reveal your very purpose ... possibilities waiting to become reality. And please consider, there is no key you will need to open this door as it has never been locked ... and once you pass through it, without thought, you'll begin to surrender the importance of your past yesterdays as they begin to fade ... and you are introduced to the understanding of "SilentKnowing" and the luminous tomorrows that it offers ... and there will never be reason to ever think about going back. 6. Phases of Self-Awareness "Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive ... the risk to be alive and express what we really are." don Miguel Ruiz b: 1952 ToP ​ Validating Your Own Dimensions of Self-Awareness After Dimensions of Self-Awareness discussions you can practice the below Awareness Phases. The purpose of these phases is so that you can understand yourself at various dimensions in your life, from an inside-out point of view as you organically (or not) transition from one PoSA to the next during the various life journeys you've experienced in your past ... the PoSA you are in the present ... and the PoSA you choose for yourself and gladly welcome home to live your life in the future. And it's up to you to decide when this future begins. Dimensions of Self-Awareness Exploring your current Dimensions of Self-Awareness of the-who you are right now, today ... and the vulnerabilities and barriers that come with it ... obstacles that keep you locked into where you are today. Discovering how your current Dimensions of Self-Awareness were formed by naming those key thought-influencers in your life as well as your social, economic, and cultural environments that defined so many of your starting life "Truths" ... and by also identifying the recurring life patterns you've experienced during your various life journeys, each with their own set of realities. Awakening your own Awareness of the lifelong changing coherence between the foundational dimensions of your life experiences (and relationships) ... your GodSoul, your HumanSpirit ... an awareness that reveals the harmony required to evolve into your Pure Inner Core Essence and live your life fully with Peace, Joy and with Love. Living each day with confidence as your newly revealed life potentials and desires now guide you along your life journey ... as you begin to experience first hand your own "SilentKnowing" ... and through practice, learn intuitively to "Trust the Wisdom of Your GodSoul". 7. Maintaining Peace-of-Mind in Your Self-Awareness "Life is bigger than our explanations of it. To be in touch with life, go beyond your explanations." Julio Olalla b: 1945 ToP And Most Importantly What do you do to maintain Peace-of-Mind in your life ... with your relationships ... your career ... or anything and everything else that’s important to you? And most importantly, Peace-of-Mind in your own HeartCenter. An Ontological Approach to Peace of Mind Using an ontological approach , learn to explore your own Dimensions of Self-Awareness experienced during the various stages of your life ... so you can begin to authentically claim the-who you truly are at your core ... from the inside out. The Dimension of "SilentKnowing" And as you continue to practice this process of exploring, you begin to pass through to a new Dimension of Awareness, a surrendering that begins to reveal the freeing Dimension of "SilentKnowing". And with this "SilentKnowing" ... comes an enduring awareness of Peace-of-Mind. The Age of Awareness - Know Thyself Creating and maintaining lasting freedom begins when you realize that by exploring your own Dimensions of Self-Awareness of the-who you truly are today both inside and outside ... and importantly the-who you are not ... that's when the door begins to swing open and the magic starts to happen in your life. A Difficult Challenge - Finding You It's not easy understanding the-who you truly are today ... and not the-who you think you are ... or the-who you think others think you are ... or the-who you used to be ... or even the-who you hope to be. But instead, the-who you are at your "Divine Inner Essence", your organic self. This is the critical first step in evolving to that "Dimension of SilentKnowing" ... your awareness of your Divine Inner Essence you were born with to act as your foundation of life with Peace, Joy and Love. Learn about taking a Personal Self-Awareness Journey with me as your guide. A Self-Awareness Journey is about awakening your authentic self to engage your heart-soul connection bringing new meaning & purpose to life. Your Journey Guide Ronnie K Message Ronnie K

Page Menu Class 3 - The 4 Ageements About The Four Agreements Who is don Miguel Ruiz Watching the Video Clips Four Agreements Video Clips Be Impeccable with Your Word Don't Take Things Personally Don't Make Assumptions Always Do Your Best Agreements Forum Journey 3 The Four Agreements with don Miguel Ruiz Purpose: Gain awareness of the key guidelines to living life with integrity. About "The Four Agreements" First published in 1997, the book gained popularity after being endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. The book was on The New York Times bestseller list for over a decade. According to Ruiz, the book is inspired by a set of the Toltec people's spiritual beliefs. The intent of the book is to help readers explore "freedom," "happiness," and "love." The central point is that a person's life is determined by the agreements they have made with themselves, others, God, and society as a whole. Through these agreements, one determines how they see themselves, what is possible for them, how they should behave, and their worth as a person. Ruiz says that by making a pact with the agreements described in the book, the individual is able to create a happier and more successful life. The Four Agreements 1. Be impeccable With Your Word 2. Don't Take Things Personally 3. Don't Make Assumptions 4. Always Do Your Best ​ Who is don Miguel Ruiz ? Born in 1952 in rural Mexico, the youngest of 13 children. His parents were healers and practitioners of ancient Toltec traditions. Graduated from medical school in Mexico City and practiced neurosurgery. A near-fatal car crash caused him to examine the essential truth about life. Through his mother’s ancestral teachings, he discovered his own path to awareness. This evolved into a deep understanding of the physical universe and the virtual world of the mind. Combining Toltec mythology and scientific perspectives, he has merged ancient wisdom with modern physics and practical common sense, forging a new philosophy for seekers of truth and personal authenticity creating The Four Agreements.

Your "GodSoul" comes from YourGod. Thoughts About the Soul SOCRATES: For the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, the soul lives in the ideal realm, as it is eternal and survives the death of the body. 95 YO FRIEND: My soul is my moral compass to living my life in peace. EINSTEIN: We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music. WAYNE DYER: As I unclutter my life, I free myself to answer the callings of my soul. ​ BRENE BROWN: Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world.

New Posts bethbenton41 Aug 14 As I unclutter my life Journey Extras Dr. Wayne Dyer says this quite clearly and it resonates with me so very much "As I unclutter my life, I free myself to answer the callings of my soul." Uncluttering my life - Several years ago, I took a class about decluttering your space to allow new energy flow around you and through you out to the world and it was reiterated to start small, with actions to take each day. Well small was going through my home first, room by room, drawer by drawer and donating or getting rid of items that I did not need and were just that, clutter. At first it was hard to discard things I had had for so many years but did not use. Then, each day as I did this over a period of a few weeks, it started to feel like freedom. It started a practice. This then led to setting boundaries and saying no without feeling guilty. This is a practice of uncluttering my life, is the beginning of freeing myself to answer the callings of my soul. More and more, I begin to understand who my authentic self is. I am more and more aware of what clutters my life in all aspects and make changes at my own pace but unknowingly things just change on their own and I slowly learn the callings of my soul. What are your thoughts about uncluttering your life? If you have thought about this, or begun to do it, do you have practices?

The journey I thought my life would take me on ... and the journey I have experienced thus far are light-years apart. In hindsight, it's easy for me to say "Thank You" Universe for all the many challenging and difficult life lessons you provided ... and for being so darn patient with me​. But the journey certainly was never easy ... and at times, it was emotionally debilitating, right from the get-go. Over and over, I experienced the pain from an "emotional void". Today, I deeply appreciate how my awareness and understanding of Life and Love and Compassion have amazingly transformed from the "the-who" I was ... to "the-who" I am in this very moment ... and then the next ... and the next ... with ever evolving Moments of Awareness. Ronnie Kaufman 2021 Born February 12, 1947 ​ Some Insights about My Life Journeys I for sure have encountered many Life and Relationship Journeys as I have unknowingly experienced living the Cycles of Life Transformations with an eclectic range of ​lifestyles and philosophies. From a rich (not wealthy) man ... to a poor (not homeless) man ... and many points in between. From hippie ... to a practicing Buddhist in my 20's ... today, consider myself a "metaphysical being" in my beliefs. Was an on-again/off-again successful-unsuccessful business guy for many years. ​And now ready to enter my final Dimension of Personal Awareness, a journey waiting to welcome me to a new beginning my heart and soul have never known. And I know I won't need or want another ... because of the incredible Gifts of Renewed Freedom, I have already, and with more to come. ​Some gifts already have become a most valuable and precious ingredient of who I am today. For me, having such gifts defines the meaning of what feeling grateful and thankful are about. ​ top ​And for sure, my life journal below represents perhaps only a third of my sometimes amazing, sometimes crazy, and sometimes just bizarre life adventures, large and small. And the many diverse characters I played along the way and the many unique individuals and teachers I met that were all part of each journey. And would not want to leave out the fact that for parts of my life, I've been a wandering (and at times, lost) soul ... and now in search of a few final puzzle pieces. And after you've read the journal below, perhaps you'll start to appreciate each stage to the many Life Transformations I have experienced.. ​ ​After my first year of college, I began my journey to search for the meaning to life. Was not at all clear where I should look but was convinced at the time, it was not in my own backyard. So I began my search while unknowingly living and learning the Cycles of Life Transformation. ​ 50+ Years of Places I've Lived My Adult Life 1966 Chicago 4 yrs 1970 ​Los Angeles 1 yr 1971 Houston 1 yr 1972 Boulder, CO 3 mos 1972 Chicago 3 yrs 1975 Tucson 2 yrs 1977 Chicago 2 yrs ​1979 Philadelphia 2 yrs 1981 Chicago 2 yrs 1983 Cleveland 2 yrs 1985 Madison, WI 5 yrs 1990 Minneapolis 4 yrs 1994 Tucson 10 yrs 2004 Phoenix 10 mos 2005 Tucson 12 yrs 2017 Ashland to present​ Years of Exploration 1965 to 1977 Age: 18 to 30 A Tough Disappointment to Forget 1965 - Skokie, IL Age: 18 One of my biggest disappointments as a kid growing up was in my senior year of high school and being in the finals of the world-class High School Track Meet mile relay event. ​The track meet was held at the University of Illinois Stadium filled with 20,000+ fans. I was the third man on the four-man relay team. Our team was in the lead when I got the baton hand-off and could feel my adrenaline racing through my body as I heard the crowd cheering. Ronnie 1965 High School Track Days Then, in a blink, I was tripped by another runner and fell to the ground ... and looking up could see the other runners passing me by. Did not get over this haunting event for a long time ... but life went on anyway. Behind the Scenes of the Real World 1966 - Chicago, IL Age: 19 After I dropped out of Oklahoma University and having the right family connections, got into the Chicago Motion Picture Projection Union. I worked a variety of union assignments at major conferences and industrial shows in most of the major hotels in downtown Chicago. After doing this for a few years, was assigned to become a film editor at WGN TV for two years. Saw lots of TV shows and movies. ​Union pay was more than good as I was often on several payrolls. So much of my social wardrobe was designer and custom-made clothes. (Today, I look back and grin as jeans and t-shirt are my basic day-to-day wardrobe.) Ronnie 1970 Los Angeles Days Discovered Living Life with a Los Angeles Twist ... Oh My 1970 - Marina Del Rey, CA Age: 23 I had a compelling urge to experience more in life than being a union TV film editor so I moved to Marina Del Rey, CA to be close to the ocean and where I could continue my studies in computer technology.​​ top It was an incredible year of experiencing life that I only thought existed in the movies ... life with an LA twist. My First Deep Experience of the HeartBreak of Love Lost 1972 - Chicago, IL Age: 25 Next, I returned to my hometown of Chicago where I was to have my 1st serious intimate relationship with a woman that began my exposure to so much about life and love. The first woman I let love me. And after it ended for me with a broken heart … for the next couple of years, I often found myself writing about my experiences of Life and Love as words poured out of me including many song lyrics along with a few basic guitar chords. (Sometimes I still find myself lost in the shower singing some of those songs … with smiles from my heart of a past that once was.) Nourishing My Broken Heart - The Magic of a Friend 1974 - Chicago, IL Age:27 After my relationship ended in mid-1974, I desperately wanted to heal the deep emotional wounds and pain I experienced every day. And unexpectedly I found my relief by being vulnerable. I met a gal who was a bartender at a nearby pub who had recently become a Playboy Bunny. We quickly became supportive friends to each other and she invited me to stay with her for a few months to heal. ​This all was very soothing nourishment for my broken heart and offered me some welcomed temporary emotional relief ... but still had a long, long ways to go on the emotional roller coaster healing journey that was in front of me. Ronnie 1976 University Days Continuing the Nourishing Process 1975 - Tucson, AZ Age:28 Soon I retreated to Arizona … worked in the fields for a short time with other day laborers and decided to drop back into school at the University of Arizona at the tender age of 28.​ I also became a pretty good tennis player and was often on the courts early in the morning ... and played in a few local "B" tournaments. I continued to write more as my life experiences kept on rolling. Years of Discovery 1977 to 1999 Age: 30 to 52 Working in the Corporate World ... The Sky was the Limit 1977 - Chicago​, IL Age: 30 As my funds were running low, my next adventure unexpectedly announced itself and I found myself back in Chicago working for a multi-national computer corporation starting at the bottom as a junior computer programmer and quickly began to rise. After a year there, they gave me free rein and encouraged me to do my own R&D and create software applications that had never been created before. This project was most challenging because ​the software I was developing required unexplored technologies and there were no reference books or manuals written back then to guide me ... a most exciting and creative time in my life. Ronnie 1980 Corporate Days Falling in Love Once More 1980 - Philadelphia, PA Age: 33 Soon I was invited to corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, PA to live and work. Before I moved to Philly, I met a 19-year-old girl who wanted to move to Philly and live with me ... and she did. ​ The relationship lasted a short 10 months ... My International Presentations Begin 1980 - Philadelphia, PA Age: 33 Management assigned me as the lead design architect for a team of software engineers to create one of the world's first global online distribution systems. ​A few months after the worldwide launch of this project, I was asked to deliver my first international presentation at a sizable conference in Florida about this groundbreaking technology I had developed. And I have made presentations around the U.S. and beyond ever since. Creating My Own Consulting Firm ... Looking in the Mirror 1983 - Cleveland, OH Age:36 After 6 years of working for the multinational corporation, I wanted more freedom to find new avenues to serve and create ... so left the comfort zone I was working in ... and was the founder of a North American IT consulting firm, Kaufman Group, Inc (KGI). I moved to Cleveland, OH where my 1st client was located. KGI was under my leadership for 16 years as it grew from just myself to a staff of 35 software engineers. We were hired by many large corporate and government organizations over the years. When I sold it, we had offices in Minneapolis and Phoenix. Ronnie 1995 Growing My Firm with Clients and Staff and Value 1984 - Minneapolis, MN Age: 38 I moved to Minneapolis, MN where I began to grow KGI as a prestigious international client there had hired us. ​ Unexpectedly Falling in Love Again ... So Much More to Learn 1994 - Cleveland, OH Age:47 ​I was living in Minneapolis where KGI main offices were now located. I often was in Cleveland consulting for a few clients in the region. ​ While there, I met my future wife and several months later, we married.

My Amazing Son & Best Teacher is Born 1997 - Tucson, AZ Age: 50 My amazing son Jacob was born and came into our lives and to my surprise, he became my best teacher of life as he acted as a mirror reflecting back to me, who I actually was. top Years of Awakening 1999 to 2015 Age: 52 to 68 ​After 16 Years of Blood, Sweat, and Tears ... Sold the Firm 1999 - Minneapolis, MN Age: 52 I chose to sell Kaufman Group, Inc as I wanted to stop my frequent road trips around the country and spend more time raising my son. Annual revenues grew from $60,000 my first year to $4 million when I sold KGI in 1999. ​ In a deep way, I felt like I was selling my very soul as I had so much of my blood, sweat, and tears invested in it after 16 years. ​A New Life Journey Begins ... To a Place Called Me 2000 - Tucson, AZ Age: 53 It took a while to settle into my new lifestyle. But soon it marked the beginning of a new awareness of a place I had never been before ... a place called "me". I wanted to keep on creating and developing new territories I wanted to explore .... so I started a consumer-based information website that provided automobile reports to car owners. What made this website most valuable when I sold it 10 years later was the 2 million unique visitors to the website each year and the 600,000+ opt-in email addresses of our website members collected over the years. A Most Difficult and Challenging Life Choice ... Divorce ​2003 - Tucson, AZ Age: 56 ​Separated from my wife. This was the most difficult and heart-wrenching choice I have ever made but felt it was best for our young son to not live in a home where parents did not get along and often verbally fought. ​In my heart, I felt it was very toxic energy that I did not want him to learn from or be part of in any way. ​I temporarily moved to Phoenix for 9 months to escape from the difficulty and challenges of it all. ​ A Pilgrimage for My Heart and Soul ... Saying Hello to God 2004 - Israel Age: 57 ​I made a decision to take a spur-of-the-moment, 10-day trip to Israel that turned out to be the start of a life-changing pilgrimage for me. ​I am still awed to this day at the reality of world history from thousands of years ago that I walked in and experienced. top Welcoming New Meaning in My Life ... Service to Others 2005 - Tucson, AZ Age: 58 ​Divorce finalized. I was now free to get on with my life but found I was still a wandering soul looking to come home to a place I had never known. I began volunteering as a co-facilitator for 8 and 10-week Divorce Recovery weekly educational support groups in conjunction with the University of Arizona, three times a year. ​I did this for nine years serving hundreds of divorcing or divorced adults and parents. A most humbling and rewarding experience. Groups usually consisted of 15 to 20 individual parents. (see The Rest of the Story ) ​ Learning Major Lessons about Life ...

Thanks, DaVinci 2011 - Tucson, AZ Age: 64 I had a heart bypass procedure ... chose to have it done using the non-invasive DaVinci Robot instead of open-heart surgery. ​I am convinced my heart condition was caused by my chronic "broken heart" and from a recent emotional relationship I had the previous couple of years that came to an abrupt ending. ​ Leading the Way for Fellow Coaches 2013 - Tucson, AZ Age: 66 I was elected President of the International Coach Federation of Southern Arizona by my peers with a membership of 50 Executive and Life Coaches and implemented many positive changes. Years of Revelation 2015 to Present Age: 68 to Present A New Health Challenge to Consider Was told the results of my prostate biopsy, a life-changing event ... stage 1 cancer. ​Although not considered a high-risk life-threatening diagnosis, this began my major shift on how I saw my life and the world through new eyes and the impetus for me to create Exploring Dimensions of Personal Awareness based on my own real-world life experiences. Diagnosed with PTSD ... Och 2015​ - Tucson, AZ Age: 68 My world of the-who I thought I was, had completely shattered ... and it left my life in chaos. I often found myself experiencing deep debilitating emotional pain every day. I chose to check myself into the hospital for a week ... and they got this difficult pain to stop. Once I returned home, I committed to myself to learn from my past ... and to explore, discover, and awaken the-true-who that I was at my core. I also chose that I would do this without the help of prescribed "meds". ​ This life-changing decision was the beginning "crack" that allowed the Light to start filtering down and touching my heart ... and connecting me to my Godsoul in ways I hadn't imagined possible ... and Light has graciously been coming in ever since. My transformation began from my old Dimension of Personal Awareness of the-who I thought I was ... to the the-who I am today, living in a new Dimension of Personal Awareness ... now with my own Silent-Knowing of Peace, Joy and Love .

Greatest Accomplishment Several years ago, my son asked me, "Dad, what's been the greatest accomplishment in your life?" My response to him was easy ... "Other than you my son, I have yet to accomplish it".

Page Menu Journey Preface Eclectic Journey Life-Altering Event Life Influencers Autobiograhy Ronnie K Forum About Ronnie K's Life Journey Journey Preface I feel it's important to share key highlights of my eclectic life journey experiences with those engaging in the Journey Classes . Each experience exposed me to an array of challenging life crossroads that contributed to a compelling set of emotional insights and spiritual understandings about my life. And it is these insights and understandings that made it possible for me to envision and create the JourneyBetween.org classes to share with others. I hope you'll appreciate what you discover here and that it adds new meaning and understanding to your own life-journey. Part 1: Highlights of My Eclectic Journey 1968-1969: Film editor for 2 years at the WGN TV Studios in Chicago. 1980-1983: Chief technical architect of one of the world's first computerized online global distribution systems. Soon after, I lectured throughout the US and beyond sharing this new and innovative technical design with others. 1983-1999: Founded a North American computer consulting firm and oversaw all aspects of operations for 16 years. Our clients ranged from Fortune 1000 companies to local and state governments around the U.S. The firm grew from just myself to a staff of 35 software engineers with offices in Minneapolis and Phoenix, AZ. When I sold the firm, revenues approached $4 million. 2002-2012: Started a B2C internet company that provided consumers reports about their year, make, and model cars. For the 11 years I ran the company, as it grew to over 600,000 registered members before I sold it. 2006-2014: Board Chair of Divorce Recovery, Inc. During the 9 years I was involved with the organization, I facilitated over 30 10-week support groups meeting once a week, directly serving 300+ individuals. 2012-2014: President of the International Coach Federation Chapter of Southern Arizona with a membership of 40+ executive and life coaches. 1999-2014: On the board of directors of several prominent non-profit organizations in Southern Arizona including an 850-family congregation and a 100 million-dollar community foundation in Southern Arizona. My personal belief system is metaphysical in nature. And much more … Part 2: A Life-Altering Event In the summer of 2015, I experienced a total emotional breakdown and too often found myself curled up in a ball, lost in deep sobbing and unbearable emotional pain. I soon checked myself into the hospital to get medicated to stop the pain ...and was diagnosed with PTSD. I stayed there for 8 days. After leaving the hospital, I committed to myself that not only would I survive this most challenging life-threatening event … but that I would learn how to thrive after all was said and done. And importantly, with no more meds. In 2017 at the tender age of 70 … I sold or gave away everything I owned, packed up my car, left Tucson, and started up the California coast as a homeless soul while not having a final destination to help set my course. A week or so after I started this crazy adventure, I found myself camping at the Lake Shasta National Campgrounds in northern California for several days. During my morning meditation on day 4, the epiphany I had been waiting for, silently spoke to me ... the epiphany to tell me what to do next ... "Listen to the wisdom of your soul". And then a second time, "Listen to the wisdom of your Soul." Words at first, I did not understand ... and then, mystically, I began to practice this listening every day ... and I have since learned to "Trust the wisdom of my Soul". Shasta Lake, CA Looking back on my move to Ashland, it was like stepping into the Twilight Zone, only in a good way. I thought places like this town only existed in the movies ... and I am so grateful to find out, they exist in real life too. Baruch Hashem (Thank you God) Ashland, Oregon

Page Menu Discovering My Influencers Thought Leaders Renown Poets Grateful for Courage Ronnie K Forum Ronnie's Life Influencers Discovering My Life Influencers World Renown Thought Leaders and Poets Throughout my entire life, I was convinced that certain individuals came into my life for a reason ... just because they did. I soon stopped getting trapped by asking "Why?". As my life journey progressed, some of these individuals became strong influencers in my philosophy on life ... and I felt extremely in tune with the vibrational frequency of their teachings ... as all sorts of possible Dimensions of Self-Awareness were revealed to me ... and at times, some even transformed my way of thinking about myself and understanding my relationship with the world around me. Below are some of those key influencers that made a huge difference in defining my own Personal Dimensions of Awareness and are now part of me ... transforming how I experienced my relationships with Life, Love, God, and most importantly, with Myself. World Renown Thought Leaders Who Influenced My Thinking 1940-2015 WAYNE W. DYER was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. He created many audio and video programs and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. My Initial Connection In the late '80s I had seen Wayne on TV several times but did not think much about what he was saying. Then as the '90s came in, I found myself lost without a guide to my life journeys and began reading and studying his books. In 2014, I created a series of evening seminars based on his book, "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life". Quotes "What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds." "Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul." born 1965 BRENE BROWN has spent her career studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and has authored multiple books including five New York Times best-sellers. Her TED talk is one of the top five most-viewed TED Talks in the world. Her filmed lecture, Brené Brown: The Call to Courage, debuted on Netflix in 2019. ​ My Initial Connection I first saw Brene streaming on-line on a TED Talk. The title of her talk was "The Power of Vulnerability" ... and have watched it many times since. I just loved all she was sharing about how we humans emotionally work ... and my own Personal Awareness was delightfully being nourished. I also created a seminar on her work, "The Power of Vulnerability". ​ Quote "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." born 1952 DON MIGUEL RUIZ is a renowned spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author including his book "The Four Agreements." He has spent the past three decades guiding people to personal freedom through his profound insights regarding the nature of human reality. ​ My Initial Connection He was a keynote speaker at an International IONS conference in 2011 I attended in San Francisco. In 2014, I became an avid fan as I studied his best selling book, The Four Agreements, and shortly after created and gave seminars based on it. Quote "Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are." born 1945 JULIO OLALLA is regarded as a pioneer of the executive coaching and transformational learning fields. For over 30 years, Julio has trained thousands of individuals and worked with hundreds of organizations, CEOs, and government figureheads to challenge traditional thinking and create stronger leaders navigating the anxiety and turbulence facing our global community. ​ My Initial Connection Julio was my Ontological teacher and mentor ... and I studied with him in 2008-09 in Boulder, CO. This was a 9-month Ontological Coaching Program with students from around the globe attending. Here's one of my favorite quotes of his I wrote down during class ... "The Mastery of Life is knowing when to ask for help". ​ Quote "Knowledge is a love affair with answers ... Wisdom is a love affair with questions." World Renown Poets Who Influenced My Writings 1933-2014 ROD MCKUEN was an American poet, singer-songwriter, and actor. He was one of the best-selling poets in the United States during the late 1960s. Throughout his career, McKuen produced a wide range of recordings, which included popular music, spoken word poetry, film soundtracks, and classical music. ​ Quote "Be gentle with me, new love. Treat me tenderly. I need the gentle touch, the soft voice, the candlelight after nine. There's been so many who didn't understand so give me all the love I see in your timid eyes but give it gently Please." 1206-1273 RUMI was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan. Rumi's influence transcends national borders and ethnic divisions. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. Rumi has been described as the "most popular poet" and the "best selling poet" in the United States. ​ Quote "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there." ​ "When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn’t make any sense. The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you." ​ "Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.” Grateful for the Courage to Openly Receive ... and to Openly Give I am grateful for both the understanding and wisdom these and other thought-influencers I have chosen to study over the years, have shared with us all. They have been an integral component of my own Dimensions of Awareness as The Age of Loving-Kindness paradigm continues to evolve. ​ Thank You.

Dec 25, 2023 written: from: Moments of Awareness Collection www.JourneyBetween.org/MoA ©2024 Journey Between All rights reserved Unfinished Note to My Brother by: Ronnie K MoA# 3179.1 (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?)
