Forgetfulness by John Cali

Dr. Bernie Siegel tells a wonderful story about his marriage. Years ago he fell off his roof, hitting his head on the pavement. He developed amnesia from the injury. He said the amnesia dramatically improved his marriage with his wife Bobbie. But when his memory returned, he sought marriage counseling.

Fascinating story! After I thought about it, I realized what Bernie’s underlying message was. If we simply forget (or, in this case, cannot remember) all our past baggage, our relationships automatically improve.… Read more

I’m sure at least some of you have heard this remarkable story of Joshua Bell, one of the world’s greatest violinists.

As arranged by The Washington Post, in January 2007 Bell got off the Metro at Washington, DC’s L’Enfant Plaza Station. Dressed as a nondescript young man in jeans, t-shirt, and baseball cap, he placed himself against a wall beside a trash container. He put his open violin case at his feet and threw in a few dollars and coins as an enticement to passersby.… Read more

Do You Believe in Miracles? by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, inspiration, spirituality | 14

A Course in Miracles tells us “Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.”

My spirit guides say what we call miracles are commonplace, nothing extraordinary. In fact, they are the most ordinary of events. But unless they find their way into the news media, they go largely unnoticed. And yet they happen every day of our lives.… Read more

Today we’re continuing our exploration of the Seth teachings, as channelled through Jane Roberts. Our earlier Seth articles were Life Is Supposed to Be Fun, Are You a Victim of Yourself? and Can We Travel to Other Dimensions?

Seth talks often of creating our own realities. In his 1974 book, The Nature of Personal Reality, he says “You make your own reality.” And “You form the fabric of your experience through your own beliefs and expectations.”… Read more

Life Is Supposed to Be Fun by John Cali

We talked about Seth and Jane Roberts in two earlier blog articles: Are You A Victim of Yourself? and Can We Travel To Other Dimensions?

Our title today is one of the Seth concepts I adopted when I first started reading the Seth books many years ago. It’s a tough concept for many folks to accept. How can this valley of tears possibly be fun?… Read more

Independence Day by John Cali

For those who may not know, in the United States July 4th is celebrated as “Independence Day.” On July 4th, 1776 the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, a document declaring the 13 colonies’ independence from Great Britain.

A few years ago we wrote about another kind of declaration of independence — a declaration of personal independence.… 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

Can We Travel to Other Dimensions? by John Cali

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

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

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

The Human Body by John Cali

Having been raised Roman Catholic, I was taught, at an early age, the human body was the “temple of God” — and, at the same time, an object of shame. Especially when it came to sex.

Talk about confusing!

Fortunately, I’ve outgrown most of the outdated concepts of the Catholic Church. But they still persist in many folks, including some of my family. (Though I must admit, I like the “temple of God” idea.)… Read more

Money by John Cali

Businessman Ted Turner was once quoted as saying “The world is awash in money.”

We wrote an article a few years ago called Niagara Falls. In that article Spirit said this:

“…the problem is never a lack of abundance. The problem is … your lack of awareness of that abundance. The abundance is there — always has been, always will be.”… Read more

Battling Versus Healing by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, spirituality | 1

I don’t suppose there’s any greater incidence of cancer in this little northern Rocky Mountain town where I live than anywhere else. But it seems to occupy a goodly amount of space in local newspaper articles.

One of the “common elements,” if you will, of those articles is the phrase “battling cancer.” Even those who survive have “battled cancer.” Those who didn’t survive “lost the battle to cancer.”… Read more

Apocalypse by John Cali

Did you hear the world is ending tomorrow?

So says religious broadcaster Harold Camping. That’s a bit ahead of the schedule predicted by Hollywood and other “authorities.” They say it will be December 21, 2012.

I always get a chuckle when I hear these doom-and-gloom, end-of-the-world scenarios.

The Washington Post had a couple good articles on this today, here and here.

I’m sure many of you have seen the news reports about Kerry Campbell, the mother who’s been regularly giving her 8-year-old daughter, Britney, Botox injections. The mother-daughter duo even appeared on Good Morning America to talk about it.

Is our society so obsessed with physical beauty that many women will do anything to be Hollywood-thin and sexy? Even an 8-year-old girl, for God’s sake!… Read more

Your Life Matters by John Cali

Occasionally I wonder if the work I’m doing matters much in these chaotic times we live in, if my life is making any positive difference in other people’s lives. Have you ever wondered if your life matters?

A few years ago, I received a letter from one of our newsletter readers who had just seen the wonderful Way of the Warrior video produced by our dear friend, Reinis Ikass. Here’s part of that letter:… Read more

Violence by John Cali

Years ago the first spiritual books (that is, non-religious books) I read were from Seth. Seth, I’m sure many of you know, is a spirit guide channeled by the late Jane Roberts. Seth was my introduction to channeling and alternative spirituality. I loved virtually everything he said.

Among the many principles Seth taught, several are an important part of my spiritual path and work today. One of those principles is “Violence is never justified.”… Read more

Negative Energy by John Cali

Over the years, my spirit guides have talked often about negativity and negative energy. How do we deal with negativity? Is there an easy way to do it? Or is it always complicated and difficult?

Well, those of you who’ve been with us a while know how simple and easy Spirit says life really is. It’s our human limitations (all self-imposed) that make it seem complicated and hard.… Read more

We recently received an email from a newsletter subscriber. She was asking about her 12-year-old son. Here’s part of her email:

“I’m the mother of a 12 year old ‘crystal child’ and I’d love some parenting advice. Can (my spirit guides) talk about these ‘new’ children? He eats funny (he has a very limited diet and isn’t willing to try new things), he’s in constant motion (sitting still is quite difficult), he is VERY headstrong (he doesn’t want to learn at all from any of my experience).… Read more
