Life’s Eternal Questions #2

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 2

. . .the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions. ~ Albert Camus

meaning-of-life

This week we’re continuing our question-and-answer series.

Question:

I think I once heard Abraham (Hicks) say that when someone is victim in a life-ending accident or crime, the consciousness pulls itself back just before the real experience, so that the human (body) doesn’t feel anything of it. I find that a very comforting thought.

I would love to hear Spirit’s perspective on this.

Answer:

That is generally exactly what happens (though not always) in the case of a human or an animal dying.… Read more

Life’s Eternal Questions #1

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 2

You are God. ~ John Cali and Spirit

the-hand-of-God

Over the years, folks have asked us many questions. I’ve recently begun to organize their questions and our answers. So we thought it would be a good idea to occasionally post those questions and answers. I hope you enjoy this first “installment.”

Question:
How do I continue living with my body when my soul has already died?

Answer:
Your soul cannot die. Your soul is your true self, your higher self, your spirit—whatever word you prefer.… Read more

Life Is Only About Living Your Dreams and Being Yourself

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 18

To be alive and not to know yourself is to believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be yourself…? ~ A Course in Miracles

I think many of us postpone our dreams (and our happiness) until later. It could be when “I have the perfect partner, the bank account, the big house, etc., etc.”

That often turns into many years—or maybe never. Why? Often it’s because we are scared to death to be ourselves, to believe in ourselves.… Read more

Are You Living In the Shadows or In the Real World?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 6

A shadow can only convince you of its reality for so long before you see it for what it really is. When it no longer moves according to the laws you know…then you will look to what is casting that shadow, and when you see this source you will release it altogether by turning on the light. ~ The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking by James F. Twyman

We’ve all experienced the shadows, the darkness of life on our planet. For many people, that has become a near-constant way of life.… Read more

Pretend You’re Going To Live For Eternity

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 2

The soul of man is immortal and imperishable. ~ Plato

eternity is in the present moment

You may have heard of an American woman named Norma Bauerschmidt. Norma’s been in the news a lot over the past couple years. At the age of 90, she was hit with a real double-whammy. First, her husband of 67 years died. Then Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer.

Sitting in her doctor’s office, she listened to him go through the standard litany of her medical options: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy.… Read more

Wyoming: The Wild, the Weird and the Wonderful

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 10

We are all God’s children. We are all equal….I don’t know why anyone gay or lesbian should be less a human being than I am….gay and lesbian people can be just as happy in their marriage as I am in mine. ~ former United States Senator Alan Simpson, Wyoming

Wyoming, where I live, is a most interesting place. In land area it’s the 10th largest of the 50 United States. It has fewer people than any other state. (There are more wild critters than humans.)… Read more

Oneness Is an Impossible Dream

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 8

Vasu deva kutum bakam. ~ Sanskrit mantra (The whole world is my family. From expanded awareness, I feel my connection to everyone.)

oneness-of-our-global-family

In this time of dramatic change all around the planet, it’s easy to lose sight of some basic facts of life:

We’re all in this together. We always have been.
There is no us versus them. There is only oneness. “Them” is “us.”
There are no boundaries except those we’ve created while laboring under the grand illusion we’re all separate.

7 Facts About Your Pets You Need To Know

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 7

Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet. ~ Colette, French novelist, 1873-1954

dog-and-cat-best-friends

My spirit guides are particularly fond of dogs and cats, and of all animals, as I am. They say domestic pets, particularly dogs and cats, are often the best teachers and healers for humans.

All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it. ~ Samuel Butler, English author, 1835-1902

Spirit

We ask you to think about these qualities of your pets, and perhaps you will gain some insight into the many reasons humans and animals are so drawn to each other.… Read more

The Hidden Power of Inner Peace

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 8

“Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you.” ~ Catherine de Hueck Doherty, founder of Madonna House

the-dove-of-inner-peace

One day a while ago, I was walking through the Rochester, New York airport on my way to catch a flight. Nearly everyone around me was rushing about, stressed out and none too happy. A typical airport scene in today’s hurried and harried world.

I happen to love flying, and find airports fun—and, strange as it sounds, peaceful—places.

Making my way through the crowd, I spied a tall grey-haired man walking toward me.… Read more

Tale of the Old Farmer

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 4

A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. ~ A Course in Miracles

old-farmer-God

Long ago I heard the tale of an old farmer and his wife. They lived far out in the country and, once a month or so, would drive into the nearest town for food, supplies, etc.

One day as they were on their monthly trip to town, the wife looked over at her husband in the driver’s seat. “You know,” she said, “we used to sit so close to each other whenever we went to town.… Read more

The Truth about Enlightenment Is You Do Not Need It

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner. ~ Carlos Santana

buddhist-enlightenment

For most of the years I’ve been on a conscious spiritual path, I’ve been seeking enlightenment—just like almost everyone else I know.

But lately I’ve discovered the truth about enlightenment—we do not need it.

Spirit

We realize our title is a strange statement, perhaps startling even, for some. A logical question you might have is, “How can I NOT need enlightenment, especially given the seemingly chaotic conditions on our planet today?”… Read more

Apocalypse: The complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. ~ Oxford Dictionary

In a recent letter, a reader wrote us, “I, for one, would love to hear what Spirit has to say about these times we are living in.”

So without further ado, here is Spirit.

Humans have been predicting and dreading the destruction of life on earth, the end of your world, for centuries.

Guess what? The world really is ending.… Read more

There Is No Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 4

There is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ~ A Course in Miracles

beyond-death-life-after-death

Several of my close family and friends have recently experienced a death among their loved ones. Also, in response to our last post, Rising Above the Clouds, several folks mentioned their concerns about death.

So my spirit guides and I thought it would be good to follow up on what we said in Rising Above the Clouds.… Read more

Rising Above the Clouds

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 16

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. ~ John Muir

Many years ago I was a commercial pilot. I’ve always loved flying, and still do.

That Still, Small Voice Within You

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 18

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you….that’s how God leads us. ~ Pastor Joel Osteen

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 4

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. ~ US President Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865, just before the end of the Civil War

Reaching Beyond Belief and Faith

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 6

If we choose only to expose ourselves to opinions and viewpoints that are in line to our own, we become more polarized, more set in our own ways. It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from. ~ Barack Obama

Our Top 10 Blog Posts from 2016

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 5

year-2016-in-review

For our first post of 2017, my spirit guides and I thought it would be fun to go back to 2016 and review the 10 posts you, our readers, liked the best. Without further ado, here they are (in no particular order):

Defying Death
A couple weeks ago, a 9-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed in Montana, not far from where I live. To all appearances, it was certainly a tragically sad and premature death.
Those Who Serve in Silence
A close friend came to us a while back, wondering why he was on earth, and what difference he was making, if any.
