Founder
Scott Hinojosa.
Known to the work as Sage. Co-founder of Lost in the Astral. Naming what keeps repeating, in plain language.
I am not here to impress you with vocabulary. I am here to see the pattern you are living inside, name it cleanly, and hand you enough leverage that the next move is obvious even when it is uncomfortable.
How I hold the room
People call it camouflage when someone can move through many worlds without performing belonging in any single one. I call it a survival skill that became a craft. The work now is the same craft turned outward: read the room, read the person, read the system, and refuse the polite lie that keeps the loop intact.
If you want comfort without change, I am the wrong practitioner. If you want a careful read of what is actually running, we can work. I do not trade in borrowed certainty. I trade in evidence, repetition, and the parts of your story you keep skipping when you tell it to yourself.
The through-line is simple. I look where others prefer not to, because that is where the real leverage usually hides.
What I actually do
I hold SRP Pastoral Counseling, 9-Self Holistic Integrated Coaching, and inside-the-work business repair. Each is a different door, but the same discipline: trace the pattern to its root, then choose what to do with it.
Public lineage framing stays narrow on purpose. I work as an omnist with more than thirty years of comparative religion and comparative cultural study, brought into session as scholarship and lived practice, not as a costume rack of borrowed identities.
Some questions require a carrier from a specific living tradition. When that line matters, I say so plainly and hold it for the whole session.
