2012: The End of the World? by John Cali

Last week my spirit guides told me “Your world could end in 2012.” Not the most uplifting news to hear.

A God of Hatred by John Cali

Spirit recently said something to me that I thought was as profound as it was brief: “Religion divides.

The mother was single, and Karen desperately wanted her to find a romantic partner and “live happily ever after.” But she didn’t know what she could do to help her mom. Karen said she’d [...]
