The World of Spirit

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

There’s a saying you’ve probably heard, Seeing is believing.

But that’s not true, in our opinion. It’s the reverse: Believing is seeing.

There’s a story about Christopher Columbus (or Cristoforo Colombo), the Italian explorer back in the 1400s. As the story goes, when Columbus first approached what is now North America, he and his crew were met by a surprised band of native people.

The natives reportedly could not see Columbus’s three ships. Never having seen one before, they had no idea what a ship was.… Read more

Freedom For The Thought We Hate

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 23

Over the years I’ve been the target of occasional hate mail. That “goes with the territory” when you put yourself into the public eye. I’m sure any of you putting your work out to the world have had similar experiences.

When I was in college my major course was history, which I’ve always loved. One of my favorite historical figures was US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was an articulate speaker and writer. Here’s one of his quotations:

“…if there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.”… Read more

The Perfect Person

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spiritual power | 2

Spirit

You’ve probably heard it said, “There is nothing to seek and nothing to find.” (Attributed to Marty Rubin.)

Many humans spend entire lifetimes looking outside themselves for what they will never find “out there.”

Do you want to change the world? To eliminate all violence, war, and hatred? Do you want to live in a world filled with love, kindness, and compassion? Do you want to find the perfect person, perhaps your soulmate, to travel life’s road with?… Read more

The Power of Touch

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 8

As I’m sure you’re all aware, “social distancing” has restricted our physical actions around other people. From what we’ve been seeing, one of the most difficult challenges is to avoid touching others, even those we love. No hugging, kissing, or any other physical contact.

It’s a not-so-gentle reminder of the power of touch, and how we miss it.

Spirit

The power of touch is a fascinating subject, especially for those of us in spirit. Humans, in their physical bodies, are keenly aware, especially in this challenging time on your planet, of the power of physical touch.… Read more

Love and Politics

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

John

In this era of bitter partisan politics, while the black cloud of the coronavirus is hanging over our heads, love might seem like a strange topic to talk about. Especially when you combine it with politics.

As you know if you’ve been with us a while, we have no political convictions or values. We’ve done our best to remain “above the fray” of politics over the years. However, earlier this week, on Mother’s Day, I watched New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s news conference.… Read more

Release and Fly

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

John

Many years ago, my local Boy Scout troop went on trip to Philmont, the Boy Scout ranch in northeastern New Mexico. It was a fun trip, full of adventures, but often tiring for a group of teenage boys.

One of our adventures was a full-day backpacking trip into the mountains. I’ll never forget when we got back to our base camp that day, and released our backpacks. I felt so light, as if I was flying, free of all that weight.… Read more

Abundance and the Coronavirus

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

John

Many folks, perhaps including you, are suffering financially because of the coronavirus. Some have lost their jobs, their life savings, nearly all their financial support. This includes some among our friends and families.

These times are among the most challenging and heartbreaking many have experienced in this entire lifetime.

Spirit

Let’s begin with what money really is. It is not little strips of paper or metal pieces, especially so-called “precious metals.”

These things are valuable only because humans consider them valuable.… Read more

Question and Answer Series #1—Protection From Harm

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

Lately, we’ve been talking about the coronavirus. While we do not want to dwell on it too much, we realize it’s been preying on nearly everyone’s minds.

As Spirit has said before, the fear around the virus is worse than the virus itself. The big question is “How much protection do you need?”

Lately, Berna and Spirit have held a series of question-and-answer talks. Occasionally, we’ll be using some of those for posts. Today is the first one.

Berna

Many years ago, I had a dream about standing in the middle of a cornfield, as a man, in the 18th or 19th century.… Read more

You Never Walk Alone

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

In this time of fear and isolation due to the coronavirus, many folks are feeling lost and lonely. But you never walk alone.

Spirit

Many of you often feel disconnected, disjointed if you will, in your chaotic world today. But, as we and many spiritual teachers have reminded you, you never walk alone.

God will never abandon his children. God will never abandon her/himself, for you are all part of God. You are God.

The problem many of you are facing is you do not recognize the many ways God speaks to you.… Read more

Creativity and the Coronavirus

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, Global oneness | 7

John

You might be wondering what creativity and the coronavirus have to do with each other. Here are some ideas for you to consider.

Berna

The past few weeks, people have been experiencing much difficulty, fear, and pain. However, the situation around the virus has brought many good things on all levels and aspects of society. To mention a few:

Cleaner environment
No traffic jams and fewer car accidents
Parents are giving more attention to their children’s education
Family issues are coming to the surface
Deepened contact between parents and children
More than usual, elderly people talking on the phone with others
Beautiful initiatives to support people in need, and healthcare providers

There are also creative ways, often combined with humor, being invented for spending time at home, and for preventing further downfall of businesses.… Read more

Easter Sunday

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

Easter Sunday new life

Tomorrow, various traditions around the world will observe Easter Sunday. What is Easter? Here’s Spirit’s perspective.

Spirit

The religious cultures many of you have experienced have misled you on the true meaning of Easter.

You were taught Jesus suffered and died an agonizing death on the cross—all to atone for your “sins.”

We realize what we’re saying here will certainly be controversial among some, perhaps even blasphemous.

But Jesus did not die for your sins. He never had any intention of doing that.… Read more

Coronavirus Follow-up

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 8

This week, Spirit has a few more words about last week’s coronavirus post.

Spirit

When the coronavirus is over, you will enter into that golden age you have long dreamt of. It will be a time when you cherish and love one another more deeply than ever before. And you will cherish and love yourselves more deeply than ever before.

There is nothing to fear

Your bond and love with the God within grants you immunity like nothing else can.… Read more

Coronavirus Cure: Love

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 7

coronavirus

There is no passion so contagious as that of fear. ~ Michel de Montaigne

One of our readers asked us what country the coronavirus started in. Spirit’s short answer did not address that specific question, but the broader meaning of the virus.

Spirit

Sometimes the universe will send you a seeming catastrophe in a blatant move to wake you up. (Coronavirus, for example.)

You, your world, your countries have been fighting and warring with each other for centuries. Where has that gotten you?… Read more

Judgement After Death

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

The only way you will ever live fully in the visible world is to acknowledge the reality of the invisible world. ~ Spirit

As humans with limited vision, we often ask ourselves, “Will I face judgement after death?” Spirit’s answer, below, likely will sound harsh to some. But the message is clear.

Spirit

Many of you, including Johnny, grew up in deceptive, manipulative religious cultures. You learned to fear God, to fear Satan, to fear life, to fear death. Above all, you learned to fear judgement after death.… 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

The Strangest Dream

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, peace on earth | 8

john-lennon-nonviolence

One of my favorite historical figures is French writer and pioneer aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery. He once said, “War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.”

Back in 1950, folk singer and songwriter Ed McCurdy wrote the song, Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream. It’s an anti-war song. Ironically, 1950 was the year North Korea and South Korea went to war with each other.

That war eventually embroiled 21 other countries.… Read more

The Doors of Perception

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

perception dominates

Every day you look out at the world around you through the doors of your perception. How real is that perception? What if you’re making it all up?

You may have heard the story about a wise old guru who always had the perfect answer for every question.

One day, someone told the guru he was moving to Chicago, and wanted to know what the city was like. The old guru asked, “What is the city where you live now like?”… Read more

Victory Over Death

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

victory-over-death

(Death) is a condition that we have brought upon ourselves so that we may pass into a greater condition with greater possibilities. ~ Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

Our title today, Victory Over Death, may sound ridiculous to some folks. After all, isn’t death the ultimate victor, the winner in this game of life? Don’t all things end in death?

And, as A Course in Miracles says, “Where there is death, peace is impossible.”… Read more

The Amazing Power of Your Mind

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 0

amazing power of your mind

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. ~ Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor, 161-180 A.D.

It’s story time again.

A few weeks ago, I was in my office intending to write a list of what I wanted to do the next day. I picked up my old-fashioned fountain pen, which I love writing with. The ink was low, as I hadn’t used it in a while.

The bottle of fountain pen ink in my desk drawer was almost empty.… Read more

Perfect Oneness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 0

Chief Joseph Highway, Wyoming, USA

The great legendary Nez Perce Chief Joseph once said, “All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.”

I would, respectfully, slightly change Joseph’s words: “All people were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers and sisters.”

In today’s chaotic, contentious world, it seems oneness, particularly global oneness, is simply a distant dream, destined to remain forever only a dream.

Will we ever achieve perfect oneness on this beautiful planet of ours?… Read more

Celebrate Your Shadow

celebrate-your-shadows

The hopeful man sees…sunshine where others see shadows and storm. ~ O.S. Marden

On a clear sunny day a few weeks ago, I was walking down the driveway to my mailbox. I was facing the rising sun. I glanced at the snow-covered ground in front of me. Seeing my shadow there, I thought nothing about it. Although it was a bit strange-looking. Then it hit me.

If I was facing the sun, my shadow should have been behind me! Not in front.… Read more

Q&A: What Can Spirit Guides Do For You?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 1

There is a spirit that guides us, if we will listen. It speaks softly. In order to hear it we must still our thoughts and meditate. ~ Frederick Lenz

Someone recently asked us what spirit guides really do. This was Spirit’s and my answer:

Well, I can only answer from my own perspective and experience with my spirit guides over many years.

First, be aware of the various ways they can communicate with you. For me, it’s generally a strong sense of their presence and energy, especially when you have a question or issue they can help you with.… Read more

2020: The End of An Era

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 8

Spirit

Big Changes Are Coming

2020 is the start of your new year, and a new decade. It’s also the end of an era—an era where all the old ways are crumbling and falling away.

In 2020 you’re going to see even more upheaval and changes than you have in this past decade. The changes will be on every level: personal, individual, family, country, your entire planet.

You have nothing to be upset about, or to fear. This has been a long time in coming.… Read more
