God Is All That Is

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling, spiritual power | 0

Depending on your spiritual/religious beliefs (or lack of them), our title today could have radically different meanings for different folks.

Below is a recent, slightly edited conversation between Spirit and Berna. She had asked Spirit for clarification of the terms “conscious being,” “sentient being,” and “souled being.” As Spirit says below, the terms you use don’t matter—it is all God.

You and Johnny believe—to put it simply—God is All That Is.

If that’s true, then God is in everything, in all that exists.… Read more

The Flow of Life

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 6

Various statistical reports show Americans, and others living in the United States, suffering from an unprecedented degree of mental stress and distress.

These certainly are unprecedented times.

My mother, then barely a teenager, lived through the 1918 flu epidemic, also called the Spanish flu. She survived the flu herself.

Ever the eternal optimist till the moment she left us many years later, she always said “God will take care of us.” And S/He did.

Mom knew how to go with the flow of life.… Read more

Your Body: Friend or Foe?

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

In the workbook for A Course In Miracles, one of our favorite lessons is “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”

Spirit

While your true identity is not your physical body, that does not give you an excuse to misuse or abuse it. But that’s what many humans are doing today, for various reasons.

Your physical body is the “vehicle” you have chosen to help you accomplish the mission you’ve chosen for this lifetime.… Read more

Deadly Digital Distractions

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

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. ~ Eckhart Tolle

I started using computers years ago. Back then, I never dreamed we’d be living in today’s world filled with sometimes–deadly digital distractions.

I love technology. I could not do this work without it. But I set limits.

Berna and I recently spent six days in New York City. We noticed probably 80% of the people walking the streets had their eyes glued to their phones. Several of them nearly ran into us for lack of attention.… Read more

Present Moment Awareness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 2

the future is now

Presence is when you’re no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Recently, someone asked us:
“Is it always possible to be in the present moment?”

Our answer:
“You are always in the present moment. Even when you are thinking about the past or the future, you are doing it in the present moment. Now is all you have.”

But, unfortunately, with many of us, even when our bodies are in the present moment, our minds are everywhere else except in the present moment.… Read more

What You Ought To Know about Loneliness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

We are all so much together, but we are dying of loneliness. ~ Albert Schweitzer

darkness-despair-loneliness

You would think in this super-connected world we live in no one would feel lonely. Communication is literally instantaneous, even across thousands of miles. And yet there is an epidemic of loneliness plaguing so many people all across the globe.

One of our readers wrote me recently. With her permission, I want to share with you part of her letter:

I’ve been thinking of our last conversation with Spirit and how you told me I already know everything.… 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

Defying Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 10

Death makes me very angry. Premature death makes me angrier still….Death has never made any sense to me. How can a person be there and then just vanish, just not be there? ~ Larry Ellison, Oracle founder

peaceful graveyard at sunrise

I found Larry Ellison’s words (above) intriguing, to say the least. But when you think about it, isn’t he just echoing what so many other people say? I know most of you reading this most likely have a different perspective on death. But many side with Ellison.… Read more

Mr. Smith Goes To Texas: Follow-up by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 14

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and see that the chaff is printed. ~ Elbert Hubbard 1856-1915

Note: I chose that graphic above for this post because my spirit guides are fond of saying exactly that—It (life) is all good, whether or not it seems so.

One of our readers, Cinda Miller, sent us a letter in response to last week’s post, Mr. Smith Goes To Texas. I thought it was a great letter.… Read more

The Secret to Finding Solace in the Silence and Stillness by John Cali and Spirit

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

Whenever there is some silence around you—listen to it. That means just notice it. Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Be Silent

Last week started out well. But by the end of the week, I was floundering around, confused and distressed by a challenge I’d never faced before.

One morning, upon awakening, I noticed I could not hear out of my left ear.… Read more

Transforming Soul Distress: A Profound Meditation by Hans Brockhuis

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 0

There are many ways to create a gap in the incessant stream of thought. This is what meditation is all about. ~ Eckhart Tolle

This meditation is about transforming your soul pain. Perhaps you do not want this at all, as old pain hurts violently. But on the other hand, it may be possible in one way or another to somehow allow that old pain which blocks access to your true self or soul. You do not know exactly how, but for you, through fear and/or resistance, it is very difficult to get access and everything stays where it is.… Read more

How To Find Peace In the Silence by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 12

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness, ~ Mahatma Gandhi

: Silent Evening by Ann Boberg

Many folks today, in this age of endless digital distractions, have forgotten how to be silent and at peace.

Spirit

Have you ever listened to the silence? What have you heard? We’d like you to take a moment, right now before you read any further, and listen to the silence.… Read more

Sunset on the Mountain

I’ve been sick the past couple days, something very unusual for me. So we’re revisiting a piece we published long ago.

Have you ever been completely captivated by a beautiful setting—maybe a golden sunset on a mountain, freshly scented air after a soft summer rain, or moonlight over the sea?

After You Read This You’ll Never Need To Make Another New Year Resolution Again by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 15

I pretty much gave up making new year resolutions years ago. But I’m making an exception for 2014. This year I’m resolving, simply, to love myself as I’ve never loved me before.

Here are some of my Spirit’s and my random thoughts on how we can all do just that.

The past is over. The future does not exist. Be here now—it’s all you have.

The only reason to look back at the past is to help you appreciate how far you have come.

Now Is Forever by John Cali

Many of us have trouble staying in the present moment. And yet, paradoxically, that’s all we have. The present moment — the now — is all there is.

Our video of the week features the song, Now, by Dave Carroll. The song is based on Eckhart Tolle’s popular book, The Power of Now.

We’re doing another major “facelift” to our website, and that’s taken a lot of my time and energy. So this week we’re repeating an article we wrote quite a few years ago, also about the subject of “now.”… Read more

The Peaceful Mind by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality, videos | 4

In our article two weeks ago we talked about the ways modern society poisons our minds. This week we’re talking about the opposite end of the spectrum — the peaceful mind.

Meister Eckhart once said “The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling, and more perfect the prayer is.”

I’ve been meditating over 30 years, though I do not consider myself an expert at it. I continually explore the teachings of those I do consider experts, such as Eckhart Tolle in our video of the week.… Read more

Now Is All You Have by John Cali

About 25 years ago, when I first got serious about my spiritual path, I read all the Seth books. If you’re not familiar with Seth, he’s a spirit guide channeled by the late Jane Roberts in Upstate New York. Over the years, Jane and her husband, Rob Butts, produced many wonderful books of Seth’s far-reaching wisdom.

While some of Seth’s teachings went beyond my intellectual grasp, most of them resonated deeply with me.

I came away from reading and re-reading Seth’s books many times over the years with three major concepts.… Read more
