Regarding the Mayan Prophecy and it's Calendar Ending December 21, 2012

It is important to remember we are not doomed to fate or prophecy; we have the power to change our future by realizing that we are naturally and already awake and connected.

What is missing is the "will of the people to wake up and stop denying that we are all one with everything and everyone".

We need to reach a point of "critical mass" in order to change the world's dream of separation to oneness.

This takes individual and collective "awareness and action"...and it starts with you and me right now!

Austin Rare Magazine - Austin:: Written By: Ali Clear

From a very early age, growing up in the midwest "heartland". Sage Hope possessed a gift – the meditational power to heal and be the space.

Though instilled with a sense of energy-awareness and awakening from childhood, Hope actually went on to pursue a career in banking and consulting before he felt the call to teach and heal. Beginning in the late 1970’s, Hope embarked on several years of intense study with various Eastern and Western masters, and after successfully taking a company public in the 1980’s, had a crucial awakening while on vacation in Hawaii in 1989.

Since this pivotal moment in 1989, Sage has embarked on an entirely different career path. Since then, he has successfully produced several CDs, a book and a series of healing meditational courses in which he has trained and helped thousands of people throughout the world.

The vibrational healing that Hope does is based on an ancient practice, where things like touch, eye gazing, breath, sound and thought initiate a healing energy within a person. Our bodies are like tuning forks that will tune to a healing spacious consciousness. With this energy transmission of "Divine Grace," which he says is innate within every person, he helps people heal what is needed either by the mind, body or spirit.

After a healing session with Hope, you may have a wide range of experiences. You may feel an intense sense of peace, a deep meditation stillness or even an incredible surge of energy, or you may feel nothing at all at first, but experience a slow acceleration of energy and awakening over the following days.

Sage heals mind, body and spirit through his collection of CDs, meditation workshops and retreats (private sessions either in person or over the phone). You can even call a direct line where he offers a 15 minute "re-balancing session" which will motivate you and put you back on purpose. This website has more details and the complete story of Hope’s spiritual journey.

I discovered in 1989 that not only could I sustain a connection with the energy of Divine Presence, I could pass on this meditational energy transmission to anyone seeking it and like a tuning fork, they could get it for themselves and if so desired, could also pass it on to others.

As a result of this insight, I began passing on the ability to live in the meditation of this space of eternal awareness to thousands of people from around the world, helping them to experience altered states of conscious living, often involving new kinds of apparent knowledge and insights about themselves and their world. I found that these insights often opened deep feelings of connectedness with life and the universe.

Even though I continue to experience great joy and peace in my life, I am reminded that the more I share the more I receive and the more joy I see everywhere. It is out of this insight that I continue to throw my self into the mix of life, gladly exploring and sharing the energy and continuous teachings I receive from the masters, my kindred friends, adored students and divine grace itself.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead

I would like to take credit for the work that takes place in the meditational oneness events, but really it is the village of people ushering in the Energy Vibration of Meditation and Oneness who should be rightfully and justifiably honored, for there simply has never been a time where so few have done so much good for so many.

During the workshops each person brings their level of awakened awareness to the group which activates the watcher within all of us, and we begin to experience our self in meditational harmony with the energy which animates all things in us and everything else.

"Man loves because he is Love. He seeks Joy, for he is Joy. He thirsts for God for he is composed of God and he cannot exist without Him." -- Sathya Sai Baba

In this expanded awareness we discover that who we are is the eternal space of awareness from which everything rises and falls from, not the phenomena which is rising and falling from the space.

This amazing space turns our attention and energy towards living in the moment, amplifying our God essence (love, happiness and peace) and dissolving our barriers (fear, hurt and anger) which leads to an insight that awareness does not have an observer, it just is...oneness.

My Path

From an early age while growing up in heartland USA, I somehow became the peace maker in my family. I could see the futility of fighting and would often find myself in the middle of healing old family wounds and misunderstandings.

When I was about ten years old, out of the blue one evening, my step grandmother invited me to attend an evangelical traveling minstrel group's celebration of life service. It was a small 1,500 sq. ft. church called the Open Bible and did it ever rock. During this very moving and uplifting singing and guitar service, grace captured me, took me to my knees, and blessed me with the presence of a powerful Christ energy transmission which stirred an inner awakeness, a flowering of my heart and an inner glow of energy that has stayed with me to this day, and in part, is used in my healing's today.

I must say I was deeply moved and very confused. For about three years I could not stop trying to get people to wake up. It was both a blessing and a curse, my family and friends abandon me, except my mother, she was my only supporter and often called me her little Sage.

I was in the world but not of the world and it only deepened my earlier insights around the craziness I saw in life. I was happy but people thought I had flipped out.

Eventually the desire to fit in, date, play basketball and become popular won out and I slipped back into the world, but the experience didn't.

Not having anyone to guide me I was not brave enough to overtly teach and heal so I successfully turned my attention and energy towards having a wonderful high school experience, home coming king and all, and then I pursued a successful college and corporate career in banking followed by an entrepreneurial investment banking and consulting business career. I owe much of my success to this early and amazing life experience.

Then in the late seventies, I started taking every metaphysical workshop I could find, my inner spiritual stirrings once again put me on the path to re-awaking to the dream of life, complete with a new spiritual name called Sundar.

Sundar is a spiritual name given to me in 1979 by one of my early eastern teachers, Swami Muktananda.

Sundar means (handsome and beautiful, son of God Vishnu, the preserver of the universe representing mercy and goodness).

While staying with Swami Muktananda in the South Fallsburg, NY, Ashram in 1979, Swami passed to me Shaktipat, the sacred initiation of the Siddha tradition, which awakened my inner kundalini energy.

Grace honored me with it's presence once again as Swami picked me out of a thousand plus people and began working with me directly. In front of everyone he physically worked with my chakras and blew me wide open.

In that moment he looked me deeply in the eyes and told me to pass on this powerful and enlightening shakti energy transmission to others. Swami used peacock feathers but I found a way to pass on this powerful kundalini energy via Ham Sa breath, touch and eye gazing, found in part, in my events today.

Then in October 1989, after years of intense study with various eastern and western masters and shortly after successfully taking a company public, I found my self standing on the beach in Hawaii on the Island of Kauai enjoying the spoils of hard work and success.

What happened that morning standing on the beach in Kauai became another pivotal moment in my life, in a flash of intense energy and insight, Divine Grace touched me again, time stood still, eternal space flowed uninterrupted, the "watcher, the seer " within my self was revealed and I drifted off into a state of expanded awareness.

In that moment I realized that the I or self I had thought my self to be was really just an illusionary concept that I had made up over the years and that who I really was - was one with the divine energy presence I was experiencing - the eternal space of expanded awareness animating me and all other incarnations of everything and everyone.

In that moment my awareness awoke to itself as awareness and I realized that I was not in the mind or the body, they were in me and that everything existed in my space.

I also realized that I didn't have to carry out the hundreds of personalities, drama filled old programming that I had made up over the years just to survive.

My insight was that even the watcher, the seer, that which is experiencing life through the six senses was in me, the space.

In that moment standing on the beach in 1989 I fell in love with Space, Presence, God, the Beloved and my Self as the oneness with all of life.

With it came a growing heartfelt gratitude to having been blessed and touched by divine grace which opened the door so I could consciously live in my higher self, awake in the dream in the New Energy of Oneness.

Also in that moment a sobering realization occurred, "just because my awareness woke up, the mind's old programming and personalities didn't" and that staying in the Space of Presence would require me being open, experiencing life as the watcher in present awareness, witnessing (not identifying with) what was rising and falling, no matter how painful or pleasurable it was thought to be.

I also realized that it would require the vigilance of having my attention and energy freed up to live in the space of unconditional love - or run the risk of the old energy tapes unconsciously bringing my attention and energy back to identifying with and then caring out the eons of negative programming and personalities that I had made up along the way to survive and what ever else had been passed on to me generation after generation from other well meaning people asleep in life's dream.

I am not a fool nor did I want to loose the vibration of spacious love that I was floating in. Without hesitation I made an intentional commitment to my self and the living universe to stay in the expanded awareness of eternal spaciousness no matter what the circumstances were and to accomplish this endeavor I would begin studying, living and sharing the New Energy of Oneness to the world and all the livingness that resides in it.

"The Oneness Experience"

Over the years I found various ways to initiate sweet awakenings and continue living in "The Energy Vibration of Meditation" and Oneness using eastern and western blends of empowering, enlightening and healing energy transmissions and knowledge direct from the ancient and living masters that I have studied under. Here are a few that I use in my events.

-Vicharra Yoga (self inquiry)

-Bhakti Yoga (devotion)

-Adwaita Yoga (non-duality, oneness deeksha)

-Karma Yoga (service)

-Western Yoga (intentional commitment, hands on healing, remote healing, spontaneous remission, visualization, breath work, the power of positive thinking and the laws of attraction)

All of the paths come together to raise ones energy vibration and live in the perpetual beingness of causeless joy.

After grace knocked me awake again in 1989, I created ways to both keep myself awake and help others awaken to the Energy Vibration of Meditation and Oneness through:

• A t timeless book of 30 illustrated lessons of enlightening prose and poetry called "Liberated Love" which is all about seeking space, finding space and living in the New Energy of Oneness.
• A 3 set CD brainwave entrainment series (alpha, theta, delta) that assists the mind, body and spirit into living in a soothing, stress less state of expanded awareness and causeless joy .
• Through the Eye of the Needle CD program, a chakra energy clearing, prana filled journey to crossing over into the experience of enlightenment.
• Stress Release CD for the body, mind and spirit (four tracks - bodily de-stress - guided spiritual journey - forgiveness - and self love)
• 21 Day Enlightening Success Formula, a comprehensive, step by step program of over 300 ebooks and brainwave entrainment CD's to bring everyone enlightening joy in health, wealth and love.
• Seven Keys to the Magic, these seven enlightening keys on a three CD set brings everyday mastery of mind, body and spirit to your finger tips.
• A series of expanded awareness, healing, meditation and Oneness events, workshops and retreats, in which I have worked with thousands of people through out the world.

Then along came our vision statement created December 1991 on Ambergris Caye, Belize in a 30 day oneness training program with 40 outrageous fellow spiritual warriors.

"Celebrate life by participating with a global team in awakening the Human Spirit out of the illusion of separation, bringing the earth into harmony and realigning world thought to the infinite potential of humanities oneness.

Share in the adventure of discovering and uniting people, projects and resources that say yes to the oneness which animates our abundant dreams of radiant health, simple wealth, universal love and human liberation."

What hit us couldn't have missed us & what missed us couldn't have hit us!

Over the years many masters have appeared to me in my dreams and through the wonderment of synchronicity with guidance, healing's and blessings.

Most notably, Ramana Maharshi and Sai Baba, two great saints from India, have visited and continue to visit me in this life showing up in my past lives work for many years and they still continue to bless me today, bringing an energy transmission of deep healing and the Energy Vibration of Meditation and Oneness, found in part, in my events today.

Then Along Came Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma and Ancient Deeksha

Talk about rocking my world. Out of the blue one day I found a flyer about a Deeksha event being given by Sri Raniji in Austin 2004 at an old church. I was drawn to attend, I did and I received hands on Deeksha from Raniji and once again Grace reached out and delivered to me a deep stirring to drink deeper from the ancient spiritual well of India.

Life got busy but the Deeksha memory lingered and then In July of 2006, Grace once again touched me and directed me to attend Arjuna Ardagh's workshop in Austin. Come to find out he was a Deeksha giver and had been commissioned to write a book, A Journey Into Oneness, by Sri Bhagavan, the head of the Oneness movement world wide. From that event I was invited to Sri Amma and Sri Bahgavan's Oneness University in India to attend their 21 day ancient deeksha giver training course.

I received my oneness blessings training, drunk on love, on Sri Bahgavan's private home campus for 30 days and feel very humbled and privileged to have been with such a great modern day saint of the Energy Vibration of Meditation and Oneness. I had never witnessed anything so amazing, just being in Sri Amma and Sri Bahgavan's presence caused me to swoon continually.

The healing's and blessings I received from the ancient spiritual root of India through these great Saint's was amazingly profound and is used in part, in my healing and Oneness events today.

The Oneness Blessing ~ Deeksha

Deeksha is divine grace which brings us to our true state of oneness. Experience divine love, grace and the flowering of your heart through the Oneness Blessing, a hands-on transference of intelligent energy. This process creates a neuro-biological shift in the brain and opens the chakras (energy centers) in the body. This begins an awakening process which naturally leads you to a lasting state of Oneness, well-being and inner peace. This shift in consciousness begins to free you from the suffering created by the mind. It balances the body's natural healing energies and attunes the brain, bringing a gradual end to the illusion of separation.

Life

The Avatar of Grace

My many visits from the masters and grace itself has led me to realize that every moment of life and everything in it is our Avatar of Grace, which if we stay open, is perpetually healing us and leading us to the Energy Vibration of Meditation and Oneness.

The radiant glow and the energy transmission of Divine Presence is found everywhere and in all things and is available to us at all times, calling to us as an invitation to wake up in this dream called life.

Here are a few little pearls I found along the way I would like to share with you...enjoy!

1. The eternal space of divine awareness is what you are, conscious breath brings a watcher knowing awareness, awareness aware of itself as stillness is what creates love, the act of breath and movement is the love that creates life: to be the space of awareness in which the watcher is experiencing breath, to be still and still moving is everything.
2. Everything and everyone in the universe is alive with the energy of pure awareness, our brains natural biology connects us energetically with this spacious field, the field of all fields. Our continued knowingness of this holographic field causes us to come aware of ourselves with an experience of all as "us", one with this field. We are all created equal with the ability to be aware of this connection, to communicate in it, live as it and share it.
3. The great poet and philosopher Wei Wu Wei once said the reason people suffer so much is that 99.9% of everything they do and think about is for their self and there isn’t one.
4. "Who we are is the space, not the illusionary self in the space"
5. A clear understanding that here now, in this moment, there is no real problem - just love - that this is what is, as it is - and that it is perfect right now - this is as good as it gets right now - the only thing that can happen right now - so enjoy the moment now!.
6. Once awakened that we are space instead of something in it, we are just thrown to fall in love with the "who" it is that lives within us as Divine Presence. For we are that which never changes, was here before, during and after all that we thought our self to be and all that has happened in this incarnation. With that insight and awareness, everything else naturally follows, illuminating the synchronicity to support and unfold the course of our lives.
7. Our natural state is one of being the space of life rather than something in it. Being aliveness as awareness, becoming aware of life as what is as it is - is the play of consciousness in motion and begins a sweet path of enlightened living.
8. Enlightenment is an awakening up out of the minds energy state of duality and separation into the New Energy State of Oneness.
9. It is our birthright to wake up our awareness to become aware of itself, for mind consciousness to become present to itself, and step out of thousands of years of the collective somnambulism of human conditioning.
10. Love is the way that it is. It's always within us to relate this way. We are all equal with the inner capacity to wholly connect with each other in a spacious state of oneness, with awe, wonderment and curiosity and create our world anew.
11. All there is - is the oneness of relationship in this moment. When you are in a group of people, look around and remember that who we/you are is the "committee of one" animating everyone and everything you see in this sweet incarnation of this eternal moment. - Hope
12. The illusion that we are separate from one another is an optical DELUSION of our consciousness. -Albert Einstein
13. The past is yours, the future is yours, and the present is God's. We divide time into three tenses -- past, present, future -- but that division is not right. Time can be divided between the past and the future but the present is not part of time, it is part of eternity. -OSHO 
14. Decay is inherent in all component things, but the truth will remain forever. "Work out your salvation with diligence!" I am here to share the truth of my experience, to enlighten you as I have been enlightened and to save all from the fear and sufferings of old age, sickness, and death. -Gautama, The Buddha (624-544 B.C.E., Nepal
15. When you look at a tree or a human being in stillness, who is looking? Something deeper than the person. Consciousness is looking at its creation. -Eckhart Tolle - current spiritual author.
16. Whether I am conscious of it or not, I am one with the cause of all that exists. -Thadddeus Golas - 1970's spiritual author.
17. Whether I feel it or not, I am one with all the love in the universe. -Thadddeus Golas - 1970's spiritual author.
18. That which arises as 'I' in this body is the mind. Of all thoughts that arise in the mind, the 'I-thought' is the first. It is only after the rise of this that other thoughts arise. -Sri Ramana Maharshi.
19. Whatever we put our attention on we get more of.
20. Identifying with what is arising reinforces mind - identifying with the space from which it arises from, reinforces our God essence.
21. In choosing to turn your attention to the choicelessness of purely being in this moment, you discover that same beingness to be pure love, pure grace, pure consciousness aware of itself. Not excluding you as a person and not excluding any other. Incomprehensively, simply, ALL. -Gangaji
22. When the impossibility of change strikes you - there is the experience of enlightenment. -Sri Bhagavan

“Nonbeing can never be;
being can never not be.
Both these statements are obvious
To those who have seen the truth.”

-The Bhagavad Gita
