“Content with an ordinary life, you can show all people the way back to their own true nature.” Lao-tzu, The Tao Te Ching

 
John Cali

How simple and uncomplicated is your life? Probably not as simple and uncomplicated as you’d like it, at least if you’re like so many people in our modern world.

Countless people I know, even here in this remote corner of the USA’s northern Rocky Mountains, lead complicated lives. They’re perpetually stressed-out, with never enough time and far too many responsibilities.… Read more

Reality by John Cali

At one time or another you’ve probably pondered this question: “What€™s real and what€™s illusion?” I certainly have.

 
John Cali

Webster’s Dictionary defines illusion this way:

“A perception which fails to give the true character of an object perceived.”

I was a maverick even as a little kid. And I still am — just ask anyone in my family. So I was often scoldingly advised to “face reality.” You may have had that experience too. I usually ignored the advice, and just went on living in my own reality.… Read more

Self-Love by John Cali

A Gallup poll a while back reported 2 out of 3 Americans suffer from low self-esteem and, presumably, a lack of self-love. That’s nearly 70 percent of the USA’s population!

Spirit and I wrote about this subject around six years ago. That article was also titled Balance.

Now, given last week’s events, it’s obviously time to revisit the subject.

First, a little background.

I’ve lived alone the past 17 years, and also for many years when I was a young adult. So it’s been very easy for me to pretty much spend my time the way I wanted.… Read more

Just Do It by John Cali

In last week’s newsletter article, Lost, I mentioned a private conversation I had with Spirit. He was helping me interpret a strange dream I had.

 
John Cali

There was a part of that conversation I didn’t talk about last week. The part where Spirit “lectured” me about my habit of intellectualizing everything.

I’ve had a years-long habit of being super-cautious before I take any action. I usually analyzed things to death, even after my inner guidance told me to go ahead.… Read more
