Hope Interfaith Center

This is a number one year and it is a year of new beginnings! As many of you may have read, the YWCA of Mankato has recently been purchased and so we are looking for a new place to hold our Spiritual Services. However, please know we will be meeting there until we inform you differently.

Since this is a “number one” year (2008 = 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1) it does not surprise me that we received this information in the month of January! One, in numerology, signifies newness, new beginnings, new opportunities, etc. It is time to find a larger space. The HIC Board of Directors has been aware of this since last summer – we need a place that we can continue to grow. As we meet we brainstorm about possibilities and keep our eyes and ears open for the answers.

We will need your help! And this is where the power of numbers comes in for this year. Let us all initiate an experiment called "The Power of 22"! Our goal is to have 22 or 44 or 88 (a multiple of 22) people who will contribute $22 a month for 10 months ($220). This concept is based on this being a master building number according to numerology. This would be a donation above the money that you might be giving at our regular spiritual services. 100 percent of the $22.00 a month donation will be deposited in our new building fund.

There are two ways to contribute to our building fund. You can donate the $220 up front or you can pledge to donate $22.00 a month for the next 10 months. If you make this commitment, we will send you an email reminder each month. Writing the check on the 22nd of the month would also add to the energy of this ‘Power of 22”.

If you agree to do this (based on the study of Kabbalah - specifically the book The Power of ONE) you will be not only be participating in helping with the building fund of HIC but also you will be working on an inter-dimensional financial flow that will bring blessings to all of us who participate in this experience.

This is the experience of ONENESS - for what ever I do for another I do also for myself! I ask you to participate with me on this journey as we continue to grow together into the oneness. I will be the first to pledge from my own pocket $22.00 a month for the next 10 months starting on February 22. (this starts in a “2” month and will end in an “11” month – 11 is a gateway number for new beginnings!).

and so on!!!!!!! 22, 44, 66 let us reach 88. So there you have it. And yes! - this will work for all of us! As all Spiritual Studies have taught us - as we give we shall receive. It will stimulate a steady flow of other funds coming in for all of us. We are the power of ONE in this number ONE year!!!!

I know that I speak for all the people whose lives have been touched by HIC during the past three years. We have heard story upon story of lives transformed by what we have to offer to this community as well as to our world.

If you or someone you know would like to participate in this experiment, contact us by email (friend01@hickorytech.net) or phone (507-386-1242) and we will build the list, one by one! Hope Interfaith Center is a non-profit center and so do remember that these contributions are tax deductible. I personally thank each of you for all of your support in so many ways. YOU make Hope Interfaith Center possible!

I invite you to enter the gateway with me!

It is time to start a revolution and envision a new society- a sacred society that arises from a real desire for spiritual transformation and the deep stirrings of love and compassion in our hearts. This society would consist of sisters and brothers, sisters and sisters, and brothers and brothers working side by side in grace and harmony.

At the Hope Interfaith Center we have the potential to reshape our reality and change our community and our world. And if thought precedes the manifestation of reality then the starting point for the building of a more perfect world is through the creation of a larger space and or building for the Hope Interfaith Center.

It has been a real joy to see all who have entered into our experiment of "The Power of ONE". We are getting closer to February 22nd and we will be continuing to take on people to commit to 22 dollars a month for ten months. If you can't start in February then start in March and send us 22 dollars a month for ten months this would bring you to your last payment on December 12th. If you would like to send us a check in full of 220.00 then the energy of the 'POWER OF ONE will continue to bless you in return. Just watch us all receive the blessings from the Law of Give and Receive by the Power of ONE.

If you have not joined us yet because you don't feel like you have 22 dollars a month to give. Then join another person and each of you can give 11 dollars a month for 10 months. As you all know that the number 11 is an opening gateway number. We are the collective who says yes to creating a space for others to come to awaken to their own power within.

If the mind is like an artist then the artist of my mind continues to work passionately to create an INTERFAITH center for ALL to come together and UNITE. This vision started down in my basement and here we are now working together to create a larger space of which we would call an activity center. WOW, a place for people to come to realize that our luminous rainbow bodies are ONE!

Yes, we a small group of people can project and create a space to help all beings restore a sense of harmony and balance to ourselves and the world around us. But we must start and so this is our start to maintain the funds to create a space that will be here to help all to reclaim their sacred heritage. For years in order to survive we men and women had to hide the brilliant light of our true essences behind layers of physical, emotional, and intellectual armor. Now during the years a head of us the brilliant age of TRUTH is coming back . By 1212 we will all see amazing things happening in our lives while maintaining our true knowledge of self.

I ask for your support in this endeavor to create a space for all to come. I deeply want all of you to know how much I have appreciated your help in all of these years to touch people life's with helping empower them through self-realization. I promise to help all who come to release our imprints of our cultural teachings, and discover who we really are. I leave you with these beautiful statement.

"The brilliance and clarity of sunlight cannot be dimmed by aeons of darkness; likewise, the radiance of the mind's essential nature cannot be obscured by aeons of delusion. The empty house that has stood in darkness for millennia is illuminated instantly by a single lamp; likewise, an instant's realization of the mind's clear light eradicates negative propensities and mental obscurations inculcated over countless aeons."

-From "The Flight of the GARUDA"
An ancient song of Dzogchen

Join me in creating a place for true illumination!
Blessings Always,
Mother Hope
