The Power of the Present Moment

As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. ~ Rodney Yee, American yoga teacher

Hi John,

I understand that I create my reality and that my thoughts and vibration matter. A few days ago I was shopping with my daughter and a friend visiting a fun shop in Sedona.Read more

You have traveled in dreams while safe at home with Me. ~ A Course in Miracles

angel in heaven

A few weeks ago someone asked me, “Do you know where you’ll go when you die?” My answer: “Yes.”

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, and I was enjoying a few hours off from my work. The loud knock at my front door brought me abruptly out of a lazy, peaceful place.

There were two men at the door, and I knew instantly why they were there.Read more

Mahatma Gandhi’s Prayer for Peace

During 2016, we will occasionally feature the peace prayers of the 12 classical world religions, and several other prominent peace prayers. Today’s post is the fifth of this series.

In 2016 I believe we will see peace on earth, or at least more meaningful movement toward it. But when we look at our world, especially as reflected in the mainstream news media, peace on earth might seem like an impossible dream.

Why Is the World So Screwed Up?

Nothing real can be threatened; nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. ~ A Course in Miracles

every day is a new adventure, a new beginning

Every Day Is an Adventure, A New Beginning

Some of the most frequent questions we get in private readings go something like this:

  • Is there something wrong with me?
  • What’s going on with my body?
  • Why am I feeling so scattered and scared?
  • Why is the world so screwed up?

Most of us, particularly if we’re spiritually conscious and aware, have probably asked ourselves those questions, or something similar.Read more

As most of you probably know, this past week we celebrated Earth Day on April 22. That’s the anniversary of the 1970 founding of our modern environmental movement. The movement sprung from the efforts of United States Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin.

The Spiritual Power of Pets

posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 6

The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as “pets,” for food, in research laboratories, or any of the other uses to which we subject them. ~ Jane Goodall

What Is the One, True Religion?

posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 4

If you look through all the different cultures, right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity. ~ Jane Goodall

I’ve been a customer of Amazon’s many years, and have always been pleased with their customer service. But the past couple of months I’ve had a frustrating, ongoing problem with them. Without going into the boring details, they were refusing payments from my bank account. This is an account I’ve had for 25 years, and I’ve been using it with Amazon over 15 years.

I talked to everyone I could think of—Amazon’s customer service people (several times), my bank (several times), my family and friends who are Amazon customers, etc.Read more

You may remember David Thomas and Matt Klinck, the filmmakers of Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America. David recently told me about Matt’s seemingly untimely death.

Two months ago, Matt was murdered in Belize, where he had a film production company. As you might expect, his death came as a huge shock to David, and to me also.Read more

The Simplest Way to Make the Best of Other People’s Opinions

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. ~ Albert Einstein

I still remember the time, years ago, when I got my first “hate mail.” It almost literally knocked the breath out of me. I wondered how anyone could hate this work I do that much.

Since then, of course, I’ve gotten a lot more.Read more

Come, while sitting in a comfortable chair, with me on a virtual bike tour through the Dutch polder landscape.

You have closed your eyes and breathed in and out a few times. In through your nose, out through your mouth. In this way you are able to attend to this special meditation in a way that is as lucid for you as possible.Read more

Do Opposites Really Attract? by John Cali & Spirit

Your prayer causes you to focus, and the Law of Attraction causes everything in the Universe that’s in vibrational harmony with your focus to come to you. ~ Abraham-Hicks

Day and night are the same

Day and night are not opposites, only different aspects of the oneness

One of our readers sent us this letter a while back:

Hi John,

I hope all is well with you.

I would like to run a question (by) you. I trust your insights.

If Law of Attraction is working everywhere, where people and things tend to attract what is similar to them, why are humans attracted by the other sex, looking or even craving for features that are very different—even the opposite of ourselves, at least physically?Read more

Mahatma Gandhi’s Prayer for Peace

There are 12 classical world religions: Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Each of them has its own prayer for peace, despite the fact there have been “religious wars” for centuries.

World Interfaith Harmony Week was first proposed by Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2010. The United Nations unanimously adopted it. They decided to observe the first week of February every year as World Faith Harmony Week.Read more

What’s Your New Year’s Resolution? by John Cali & Spirit

Achievable goals are the first step to self-improvement. ~ J.K. Rowling

According to a survey by the Australian company, finder.com, the most common reason people fail to keep new year’s resolutions is setting unrealistic goals. And about 10% of the survey participants said they made too many resolutions.

Sound familiar? I did all that for many years. But no more.

Most new year’s resolutions are focused on changing things about ourselves we don’t like. How about if we turn that around and start appreciating all the things we love about ourselves?
