Manifesting Magic

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

“When you know positively that GOD…does exist and that it is ALL POWER, you can use it to accomplish ALL THINGS. With it you can transport yourself from place to place.” ~ Baird T. Spalding

I realize that photograph and quotation above may look a bit strange. Let us explain.

On a recent cool sunny day, at a nearby park, my dear friend Berna Copray and I were discussing a book we’d recently read. The book, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East by Baird T.… Read more

The Healing Power of Forgiveness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 2

“Forgive your worst enemies.”~ Eva Kor, Auschwitz survivor

Nazi Death Camp at Auschwitz, Poland

Who Is Eva Kor?

I don’t pay much attention to the mainstream news media. There’s too much focus on “bad” news and negativity for my tastes. But there was one recent story that caught my attention.

It was about the death of Eva Kor. Eva was a survivor of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. It was probably no “coincidence” that she died during what turned out to be her final trip to the Holocaust site in Poland.… Read more

There Is No Such Thing As Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 8

no-death

Our title today is a direct quote from spiritual writer and adventurer Baird T. Spalding’s book, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East.

A few weeks ago, I was traveling on a remote road in northern Montana. The only signs of human life were a few cars and an occasional ranch or farm.

With no warning, a bird flew into the path of my car. There was no way I could avoid it. The bird was hurled onto the side of the road.… Read more

An Ancient Culture of Peace

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, peace on earth | 2

Peace of the Himalayas

We often speak of creating peace on earth. But how many nations and cultures truly promote peace among all the earth’s people? Perhaps they are looking for the key to creating peace in all the wrong places.

Spirit

The only way you can create peace on earth is to first create it within yourself. Many miss the importance of that statement. And yet you have the key to creating that peace within, almost literally at your fingertips.… Read more

Diversity Revisited

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

we are one in diversity

We are united in diversity

A while ago, we published a post about diversity. With the state of our world today, it’s worth revisiting the subject.

We don’t have to look far to see how much controversy exists today because of diversity.

As Spirit said in that last post, “… the issue most of you face in this lifetime … is diversity, specifically, accepting diversity..”

We could all look back into our pasts and probably find countless times where we framed our challenges with an “us versus them” perspective.… Read more

What Is Channeling?

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

Years ago, when I first started communicating with Spirit, I had my own definition of channeling. It was based on all I had read and experienced up till then.

Here is how our website used to define channeling:

“Channeling is simply a bridge enabling us to communicate with spirits in the higher realms. You might prefer to think of it as accessing higher consciousness—or what some call God, Great Spirit, or All That Is.

“Channeling can take various forms such as speaking, writing, painting, dancing, singing, etc.… Read more

Happy People

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

People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
United States President Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865

happy older man

I have a little sign on my desk, “Get happy!”

When some folks see it, they ask “How?”

The answer is “Happiness is a choice. So choose to be happy.”

Again, the response is “How?”

I know some folks will disagree with me. But, from my observations over the years, I’d say older folks are generally happier than younger ones.

And my own personal experience of growing older supports that idea.… Read more

Balance and Diversity

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 4

balance-diversity

A reader asked us this question:
I understand, for the sake of polarity, all energy needs to be balanced. So why focus on “spreading the light?” Won’t that just increase the opposite? (That is, darkness.)

Spirit

Balancing energy, “for the sake of polarity” is not the issue most of you face in this lifetime. The issue is diversity, specifically, accepting diversity.

You came to this lifetime to, among other things, experience diversity. From the diversity you see the many choices available to you.… Read more

Ghost Riders of the Gobi Desert

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

Gobi Desert

We’re doing something a bit different this week.

Baird Spalding was a 19th century mystic and influential spiritual teacher. In 1924, he wrote a book detailing his adventures in India and Tibet in 1894 among the spiritual masters of the Far East.

The book, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, is a large volume of about 650 pages. I found it a fascinating story, more riveting than any adventure or mystery novel.

In one chapter, Baird describes a terrifying experience he and his companions endured in the Gobi Desert.… Read more

Ancient Wisdom for Today

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

This week we’re featuring another article by my dear friend and brother, Ted Murray. Ted’s an accomplished writer and spiritual teacher. He’s also a great tennis coach.

In Ted’s message, he asks an intriguing question: Is ancient wisdom important for us today?

Ted Murray

With the new energy and light that are flowing into the planet, are the ancient ways of spirituality still relevant for us? In many ways, the relevance of traditional religions and even old spiritual traditions are no longer necessary.… Read more

Miracles

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 4

Life is a miracle ~ Spirit

As humans, we often talk about miracles as if they were mysterious events, beyond human understanding. What if they were, instead, ordinary everyday happenings?

Spirit

What Miracles Are Not

What you call “miracles” are precisely the opposite of how your human intellects define them. You see them as extraordinary events. They are not that.

What Miracles Are

Miracles are so ordinary, you usually are blind to them. Take that pregnant woman above. Do see her and her baby as a miracle?… Read more

Sex and Your Soul

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 8

sex-soul …intimacy means more than sex…. You are intimate when you are fully with another, no matter what.
Neale Donald Walsch

After reading that title, you’re probably asking yourself, “What on earth do sex and my soul have to do with each other?”

Good question.

Spirit

The myth of sex

Among the greatest myths you have been taught about humans is the myth of sex.

Sex, except under very limited circumstances, is a sin. Or, at minimum, a deviation from the “right” path you’re supposed to be following.… Read more

Karma: What Is It?

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

Karma (in Buddhism and Hinduism): The sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.
Oxford English Dictionary

budha-in-meditation

Buddha in Meditation

What is Karma?

Karma is a confusing concept for many folks. You can see karma as the ruler and master of your life. Your present lifetime then becomes a prison from which you can never escape.

That’s a dismally depressing way to live out your days.

What does A Course in Miracles say about karma?

Euthanasia: Blessing or Bloodbath?

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

old age-dementia-euthanasia

I know the image above is grim, and perhaps offensive to some folks. But a fact of physical life, regardless of our spiritual or religious beliefs (or lack of them), is death is inevitable.

A Euthanasia Story

Not long ago, a dear lifelong friend told me her brother had been diagnosed with a painful, fatal ailment. He didn’t have long to live.

They live in an area where euthanasia is legal and socially acceptable. So the brother, who was mentally competent almost to the end, chose euthanasia.… Read more

The Breathtaking Power Within

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

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale

Some time ago, I watched an interview with a man who was obviously on a conscious path of spiritual growth. I don’t recall his name. But I’ve never forgotten his words.

He told about the time he was sitting in a cafeteria by himself. Suddenly, a stranger walked up to him, and stared at him for a moment.… Read more

Miracles and Hate

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 14

Today we go beyond the grievances, to look upon the miracle instead.
A Course in Miracles

Can you think of someone you hold a grievance against, perhaps even hate? I think most of us could, at least at one time or another in our lives.

What do miracles and hate have to do with each other?

Spirit

You’ve heard us talk about oneness before. A principle of oneness states what you give you receive. You cannot give to another without receiving the same for yourself.… Read more

Immortality: Hoax or Victory over Death?

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

Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched. ~ Anonymous

The quest for immortality is as old as humanity itself. The methods humans have explored to see if they can live forever are countless.

What’s the meaning of it all? Would you want to live forever? Would you want to live forever in a physical body, or some variation of one?

An article I read recently in The Guardian talked about some Silicon Valley folks, obviously with a lot of money, searching for the magic key to immortality.… Read more

A Little-Known Fact about Reality

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

Perception is a mirror, not a fact. ~ Lesson 304, A Course in Miracles

welcome to reality

This morning, I came across what some would consider a revolutionary article. It suggested reality is not objective. The article was based on a new quantum physics experiment, reported in MIT Technology Review.

Among other things, the article said, “…under the right conditions, two people can observe the same event, see two different things happen, and both be correct. (Emphasis is mine.)

What many might consider revolutionary is the idea both people can be correct.… Read more

Secret Courage: A True Story

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

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

~ Herman Hesse, German poet and novelist ~

We’ve told this story before, many years ago. But it’s worth revisiting, especially in the context of today’s world, where courage, secret or not, seems so rare.

When we were kids, my brother, cousins, and I loved to roam through the forests and fields, hills and valleys of our rural home area.

Back in those long-ago days, it was perfectly safe.… Read more

Do You Pray? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, manifesting | 14

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is “Thank you,” that would suffice. ~ Meister Eckhart

We chose that title deliberately, knowing we might risk the wrath of some folks. But if you think about it, what do people usually pray for? And why?

Spirit

Those two questions Johnny asked above are meant to get you thinking about prayer, and the reasons you pray. It sounds radical, but we support the notion of not praying. Let us explain.… Read more

Honoring Mother Earth

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, Global oneness | 6

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

This week we’re doing something a bit different.

I live just outside Yellowstone National Park. According to park authorities, The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is home to about 700 grizzly bears, an endangered species.

I know there’s a lot of controversy in the United States today about endangered wildlife. I don’t intend to get into that controversy here. But I did want to talk about honoring Mother Earth and all life for whom she is home.… Read more

Mastering Simplicity

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 5

Is it really necessary to study deep philosophy and all the world religions to be truly spiritual? ~ Ted Murray

Stonehenge

If you’re reading this, you’re probably on a deliberate, conscious path of spiritual growth. I am too.

But do we make our spiritual paths more complicated than they need to be? If you’re like I was for many years, you make spirituality—and even life itself—anything but simple. It’s as if simplicity was a curse.

In Ted Murray’s words above, he’s implying many of us ignore simplicity on our spiritual paths.… Read more

Thoughts on Life after Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 16

I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is no death the way we understood it. The body dies, but not the soul. ~ Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

spirit-life-after-death

We received some deeply moving comments on last week’s post, Life and Death. It’s obviously a subject of universal interest , as sooner or later, it touches us all.

Teresa, one of our readers, sent us her thoughts on the passing of her grandfather. With her permission, we’re publishing her touching story this week.… Read more

Life and Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 16

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

Most of us have likely dealt with the death of a loved one. So we know the pain and sadness that can create. But there is always a “silver lining” in the dark clouds of death.

Spirit has talked about life and death many times over the years. If you’re reading this, you know life is real, death is unreal. But what does that mean?… Read more

9 Uplifting Blog Posts from 2018 You Can’t Ignore

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

uplifting-blog-posts

As 2018 draws to a close, I thought we’d review some of the year’s most uplifting blog posts. These are not necessarily the ones getting the most traffic, but those you, our readers, told me you found most uplifting.

1. Angels In Our Midst

Have you ever met a friendly stranger, only to later realize that person simply did not exist? I did, about a year ago. We all probably have such experiences, sometimes without being aware of them.

2. The Voice of an Angel

Spirit:
“The reason most of you do not hear the angels, or experience them, is not because you don’t believe in them.… Read more
