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

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 18

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

a-new-year-a-new-start

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?

Here’s How You Can Help Create Peace on Earth by John Cali & Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, peace on earth | 4

For centuries now we’ve tried everything else; the power of wealth, of mighty armies and navies, machinations of diplomats. All have failed. Before it is too late, and time is running out, let us turn from trust in the chain reactions of exploding atoms to faith in the chain reaction of God’s love. Love—of God and fellow men. That is God’s formula for peace. Peace on earth to men of good will. ~ Cardinal Richard Cushing, 1895–1970

The Spirit of Kindness and Love by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 16

The best portion of a good man’s life: His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. ~ William Wordsworth

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. ~ Dalai Lama

There are reminders of the holiday season all around us, no matter what we celebrate—Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, etc. Or you may not celebrate at all. Or for you it may not be “the season to be jolly,” Perhaps the opposite, for whatever reasons.

Our world is seemingly in a mess, and for personal or global reasons it can be a depressing time for many.… Read more

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

Beginning today. treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again. ~ Og Mandino, “The Greatest Miracle in the World”

Christmas Reindeer

One of our greatest joys in spirit is seeing humans celebrating, and just plain having fun.

Many of you are very good at that during this time in your linear calendar. But not always so good at it the rest of the year.… Read more

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~ Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman

5 Vital Lessons Every Empath Must Learn by Barbara Clark

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 6

Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It’s the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else’s pain is as meaningful as your own. ~ Barbara Kingsolver, American novelist and poet

We’ve all been there, desperate to help someone we love who is in pain. And I’m willing to bet that most of us have also burned ourselves out at some point. Here are a few tips I’ve learned over the years which help you find peace, nurture and look after yourself.… Read more

Why We Love Refugees (And You Should, Too!) by John Cali and Spirit

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

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Syrian Refugees

Even if we don’t pay attention to the mainstream news, it’s hard to avoid knowing about the heart-wrenching humanitarian crisis with the Syrian refugees. Some of us may not even know where Syria is.

Many of us live in countries who are mostly at peace, a luxury Syrians lack. Yet we often focus too much on what we do not have, instead of the blessings we do have.… Read more

10 Things You Should Know About Who You Are by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 4

Accept who you are and the power of your might. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita, Founder of Smart Youth Volunteers Foundation

The Universe

One of the most basic questions we all have is “Who am I?”

You’ve probably heard it said we are not only in the universe, be we are the universe. The Sanskrit expression, “Aham brahmasmi,” means “I am the universe, and the universe is me.”

Many of us probably think that’s a nice thought, but we don’t really believe it’s literally true.… Read more

In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded. ~ Sir Terry Pratchett, British author

The Big Bang

Last week we received a letter from one of our readers, Cinda Miller. With her permission, here’s what she wrote:

Dear John,

I wanted to run something by you and see if it has a ring of truth to it. This is a thought that occurred to me the other day and in order to make sense from a thought I have to write it down.… Read more

What Is the Purpose of Life? by Martha Magee

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 10

The purpose of life is soul growth. ~ Martha Magee

Spirit in Human Form

We have many lifetimes, an infinite amount to achieve this purpose (of soul growth). Each lifetime is a learning experience that we choose. Every aspect: our birth, what roles we will play out, karmic issues to be worked out, our parents, our country of origin, hometown, economic-social status, our bodies, our families, ethnic persuasion, beliefs, mental capacity, psychic abilities, constitutional strengths/weaknesses, soulmates, marriages, children, pets, livelihoods, lifestyles, vulnerabilities, talents, affinities, gifts, passions, challenges, addictions, persuasions, preferences, diseases, handicaps, injuries, wounds, accidents, intentions, relationships, friends, hobbies, incarcerations, triumphs, achievements, afflictions and spiritual goals, are ALL chosen by us—for purposes of soul growth.… Read more

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

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

Are You Living in a State of Grace? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 18

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution. ~ Oscar Wilde

The Confessional

If you grew up Roman Catholic, as I did, our title/question may have a negative meaning to you. It certainly did to me for many years.

The church taught we were all born sinners, with “original sin.” Then, when you reached “the age of reason,” you had to take full responsibility for all future sins.… Read more

Forbes

I didn’t make the Forbes’ list of billionaires this year. Doubtful I’ll make it next year either. But I do know a secret that makes me deserving of the list.

I know with complete certainty that the world is limitless, abundant and strangely accommodating. I also know that anything I could ever need or want is as easy to manifest as plugging in the toaster.

This Thursday, for example, I’m flying to Florida to hang out with Anita Moorjani, Bruce Lipton, Nick Ortner, Mike Dooley and lots of other inspiring peeps.… Read more

Wayne Dyer 1940–2015: Followup by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

Almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ~ Steve Jobs 1955–2011

Sunrise

As I’m sure most of you know, Dr. Wayne Dyer made his transition Saturday, two days ago. I did not use the word “died,” because none of us ever die. We just change form.

I don’t have a hard time with people dying, even those close to me. And I have little or no fear of my own death. But, for some reason, the news of Wayne’s passing shook me.… Read more

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. ~ Og Mandino

The Light Beyond the Darkness

I’m generally pretty upbeat, positive, and happy. Life has been good to me. I’m deeply grateful for that, and for life itself.

However, this past year has been full of challenges for my family and me. There have been some pretty dark days. Also some damn good days, thanks to all the angels, human and in spirit, who’ve been there for us.… Read more

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Mountain Climbing Challenge

A couple days ago I finished a “21-day meditation challenge”—the name Deepak Chopra has given his periodic free meditation courses. He presents each of the series with Oprah Winfrey. Their latest, Manifesting Grace through Gratitude, ran the 21 days from July 13 through August 2.

Portrait of a Lion

You’ve probably heard the news of protests circling the planet over the recent death of the legendary, beloved Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world. ~ Georges Duhamel

The Heart of God

This past year or so I’ve become a serious student of A Course in Miracles. It’s had a profoundly powerful, positive effect on my life and work.

As some of you know, I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but drifted away from it as an adult. I wanted nothing more to do with traditional religion.… Read more

Introduction

As many of you know, our dear friend Barbara Clark published a book last week, Brighter Horizons: Spiritual Illumination from The Magdaleine Group.

The Magdaleine Group are a powerful gathering of non-physical spirit guides whose greatest passion is teaching us we are all connected, and we can communicate with each other in the blink of an eye. We just have to quiet our minds, get into the right vibration, listen and trust.

How To Overcome Your Fear of Death by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome….Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a simple teaching tool to be laid by when learning is complete, hardly changing him who learns at all. A Course in Miracles

God Is All That Is

Last week someone I’ve known many years killed himself. The details are not important. But our perception of those details, and of the death itself, requires some soul-searching.

Our society assumes it is natural for us to fear death—no matter how, when, where, why it occurs.… 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

Do you dread aging? Our society places physical youth and beauty on a pedestal, and does all it can to deny the passing years.

Is it possible to grow older, and still be happy and have fun? I think so.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:

Your physical bodies do not have fall apart as you grow older.
