Guru Addiction by John Cali

posted in: Articles, Blog | 0

Have you ever known anyone who unthinkingly and slavishly follows a particular teacher?

John Cali

It doesn’t even have to be a single individual. It could be an organization, a religion, a political party, etc. A common characteristic here is the follower’s belief that everyone who believes differently is wrong. I know, because I grew up in a church that taught exactly that.

Sometimes the guru, whether it be one individual or an organization, pressures followers into this wrong-headed thinking. A good modern-day example of that is James Arthur Ray, the guru who’s been charged with manslaughter in the deaths of three people in one of his sweat lodges.… Read more

The Power of One

posted in: Blog, inspiration | 7

This is a true story. It happened November 25, 1854 on the shores of Lake Erie, one of the five Great Lakes on the US-Canadian border.

The Lake Erie Quadrangle is a 2,500-square-mile area in the central part of the lake. The Quadrangle has seen over 400 shipwrecks. Compare that to the infamous Bermuda Triangle with 14,000 square miles and about 110 shipwrecks.

The Lake Erie Quadrangle is a dark, dangerous place where brutal storms can rear up in the blink of an eye.Read more

Success and Happiness by John Cali

I was reading an article the other day by a well-known and successful businesswoman. She’s not only wildly successful but also a great writer. I thoroughly enjoyed the article.

But at the end of it, the author said something that really caught my attention. She said we must choose either success or happiness. But we cannot have both. She was clearly successful but, obviously, unhappy.… Read more

Leaves Blowing in the Wind by John Cali

For whatever reason, quite a few folks I’ve spoken with lately are struggling with “bad” choices some of their loved ones are making. They’re also often struggling with other people’s opinions, especially if those opinions differ from their own.

I love this Dale Carnegie quotation:

“Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.”… Read more

The Road to Real Peace by John Cali

Where does the real peace we all say we want in our world come from? I love these two quotes:

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” Buddha

“The only peace in all the world that is sustaining is internal peace. Let each person find peace within.” Neale Donald Walsch

John Cali

Inner peace is an issue people often discuss with us, usually because they’re wondering how they can find it in their lives.

I realize it can be challenging to find and maintain inner peace in the midst of the increasingly dramatic and frequent changes in our world today.… Read more

Can We Travel to Other Dimensions? by John Cali

In our last blog post we spoke of Jane Roberts and her spirit guide, Seth.

To me, one of the most intriguing Seth concepts is we are multidimensional beings. Our past, present, and future selves exist in the present moment, in “simultaneous time.” And they communicate with each other, each from their own dimension. Most of us call these our reincarnational selves.… Read more

Today we’re republishing our last blog post. Since we only recently started the blog, it has a smaller audience than this newsletter has. So we wanted to share that post with you, our newsletter readers.

John Cali and Spirit

Many years ago, Spirit and I wrote an article called The Way of the Warrior. It became one of our most popular articles ever.

Here are a few traits of the true warrior:

 

  • The Warrior always speaks her truth, no matter what the circumstances.

Many years ago, Spirit and I wrote an article called The Way of the Warrior. It’s one of our most popular articles ever.

Here are a few traits of the true warrior:

  • The Warrior always speaks her truth, no matter what the circumstances.
  • The Warrior is totally detached from what others think and say about her.
  • The Warrior always follows the highest path as dictated by the highest authority in the Universe — herself.
  • The Warrior knows all Love, all Wisdom, all Power lie within her — within her heart, her mind, her body, her Soul.

Real Happiness by John Cali

Last week I was talking with our dear friend, Mikala St. Germain, whom many of you know. She was telling me about a channeling website she’d come across. Some of the ideas there came as unpleasant surprises to her.

John Cali

One of those unpleasant surprises was this one: We can only find real happiness in giving, not in receiving or pleasing ourselves.

Here, in her own words, is Mikala’s reaction:

“My immediate reaction was, ‘Now, that’s just wrong.’ I thought maybe you might use that for a newsletter.… Read more

The Power Within by John Cali

John Cali

Trusting the power within ourselves is often a lifelong challenge for many of us. It took me many years to even begin trusting my inner guidance. Now I trust it completely, and have never looked back.

But our modern world does not support us in developing that trust. Instead, it would have us trust and follow any guidance except our own. In our world’s view, most or all our power is outside ourselves. But just the opposite is true — all our power is within us.… Read more

Doctor Death by John Cali

As many of you have probably heard, Jack Kevorkian died today. Known as “Doctor Death,” Kevorkian was a medical doctor who helped over 130 terminally ill patients commit suicide.

Criticized by many, supported by some, Dr. Kevorkian spent his entire professional career raising public awareness about euthanasia for terminally ill people.… Read more
