About

Hope Johnson was born into a family of Christian missionaries.  Most of society would have called them cult members, but I choose to view them as Christian missionaries, because they traveled around the world and missioned to whomever crossed their paths.  I learned that people are generally afraid of death, and that having the belief that another life follows this one could bring mental comfort.   I can’t remember the feeling of actually believing what I was saying, but I said it with conviction, and I realized that through receiving a message of hope (no pun intended), people felt more at ease.  I imagine that I also felt more at ease believing that I was helping others to feel better.

Being a missionary has taught me that most people are going through life with the burden of fear, whether they know it or not, and that fear tends to transmute into doubt, negativity, irritability, impatience, anger, dread, etc.   Our message was powerful enough that it helped people to release fearful thoughts, and therefore make their lives more joyful.

While I loved helping people to feel better, I knew very deeply that there had to be more than living here on Earth, dying, and then going to another place where I will experience heaven.   Besides, my parents were quite a bit radical in that they believed our purpose here on Earth was to preach the gospel, period.  They did this by traveling around with little money, living in trailers, tents, etc., and they were willing to “forsake” everything, even their very own children to accomplish this.

Well, my parents’ version of the missionary lifestyle was just not appealing to me, and I really wanted to become part of the “system” that our group always seemed to be battling.  I wanted to have a regular family that didn’t move constantly, an education, a job, money, and all the things I thought life had to offer.

Upon reaching adulthood, I decided that I no longer believed that there was a God.  This was quite a bold decision for me because I was always taught that God would deal with me if I turned my back on “Him”.  However, I knew that I would have already been punished for this belief because I could not even remember a time when I really did believe in God or Jesus.

Praying to someone outside of me felt uncomfortable and superstitious.  I felt like I came here to create a life experience according to my specifications - not in accordance with what has already been created by the ones that came before.

During the next 15 years, I started out completely agnostic – not knowing for sure if there was a God, while making a very good living especially according to missionary standards and raising a healthy, happy family with my husband.  Over time, as I absorbed many books – mostly nutritional and scientific – I came to realize that there is an unspeakable intelligence working through our physical bodies.

Then I began pouring through metaphysical books and college textbooks on consciousness, and everything really started to make sense to me.  Now I realize that The One being or spirit is expressed through every physical form for the purpose of creating and experiencing Joy, Pleasure and Love.

Now, from a perspective of first hand experience, I have a powerful desire to guide awareness toward the peace of mind that comes with resonating mental energy to the frequency of all encompassing Love.  I know that when mental tension is relaxed, lives shift; and as each instance of The One comes to realize the power within, life on Earth evolves to depict a more peaceful/heavenly state of being.

    Hi, Hope.
    I really enjoyed this introduction to who you are and what you’re about. I feel a sense of kinship.

    Lovely Hope!

    You really really understand life.
    I am happy for you.
    My epiphany and escape from the bondage of gods and goblins happened long ago.
    I say that I am enlightened.
    It means that I see as you do.
    Imagine a world that tears down the veil of fear and hypocrisy!
    There would be no more evil and every lifeform would participate in our human made Eden.

    By the way, I still like good witches, fairies, elves, and all the mythical creatures that project love and happiness.

    Aloha,
    Brad

      Mahalos for your comment, Brad!

      I like to allow Life to be a mystery while understanding that all things arise from no-thing and are created out of thought. The only one capable of creating peace in the world is the Divine One as projected through individual awareness.

      In this regard, the one who perceives fear and hypocrisy ‘in the world’ is creating more of it, while the one who recognizes any perceived fear and hypocrisy to be their own is capable of illuminating those shadows with the Light of their awareness – thereby transforming their world. Instead of resisting ‘evil’ (which is really fear-based thought), I encourage using the energy of awareness to imagine peace (whatever that means to the individual).

      I like good witches, fairies, etc, too! I also appreciate what I perceive to be ‘evil’ because it allows me to create something new.

      Aloha!

    Dear Hope:

    What a name. There is so much there in itself. I do not know if this is the name your missionary parents gave you, or if it is something you created for this site, but it is a beautiful name, none-the-less.

    Your LinkedIn comments let me to your site this 12th day of September, 2011 and I like others felt a kinship to your expressions. I have considered myself a spiritual person more than a religious person for decades but feel I am still sriving more than BEING. I have read books like “The Secret of Letting Go” by Guy Finley and the “Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle and “A New Earth” by the same author. I have read the Bible, Torah, Quran, Tao, and other readings. I havve prayed, fasted, and striven to be the best I know how.

    However, deep inside I feel it is still strving and not BEING. I long to Be, but am not sure how to walk in my TRUE voice and my True Being. What I know is I want to say thank you for sharing. As a fellow occupant of tis creation, I want to wish you and your family, PEACE, LOVE, & TRANQUILITY.

    I pray for deeper revelation for you and for us all and sincerely wish you and your family LOVE!

    If you want to sense a part of my spirit beyond these words, visit my Professional Website, which is a manifestation of my spirit. All quotes were selected by me. All photo’s were either taken by me or approved by me, the two videos resinate what is within my heart and soul but I still am holding myself back and not being all I was created to Be.

    I am my greatest limitation and I no longer wish to be. If you have any advice please share via my email.

    From The Heart,
    Eric

      Aloha Eric!

      As the story goes, my parents were originally going to name me Rachel, but since my mom ‘endured’ 52 hours of labor they decided to name me Hope because they just hoped I’d eventually come out! LOL!

      I’m so pleased that my LinkedIn comments have led you to my site!

      You are already the Being you are striving to become, and in that striving, you are missing ‘who you are’. It’s true that you are your only limitation, and the way to transcend that limitation is to release your grip on who you think you are, and simply allow your self to be expressed as you are HereNow.

      When the self you have created out of thought is fully accepted by you, your energy aligns with Source, and the path to greater experience of Being is illuminated for you as your awareness moves with ease and grace into ‘lighter’ frequencies of mind.

      Loving you,

      Hope
