The Tremendous Power of Forgiveness

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

I can have peace of mind only when I forgive rather than judge. ~ Gerald Jampolsky, MD

I recently received some news about someone I knew well long ago. I’d lost touch with her over the years. The news, which did not surprise me, was about her deteriorating health. She was literally at death’s doorway. I’ll call her Joan (not her real name).

Joan had been carrying a bitter grudge against a family member for most of her life. She refused to have anything to do with this relative.… Read more

Slow Down—It’s Life-Changing

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 2

America is a country that doesn’t know where it is going, but is determined to set a speed record getting there. ~ Laurence J. Peter, Canadian educator

We live in a dizzy world filled with distractions literally everywhere we turn. It seems no matter what we’re doing, we’re constantly being hounded by someone or something pressuring us to do something else. Or to do more, often more than is humanly possible.

We live in a world where there are only two speeds—fast and faster.… Read more

The Power of Badass Animals and Women

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

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language. ~ Martin Buber, Jewish Philosopher

About sunrise this morning, I was out for my daily exercise run. At the edge of our small town, I spotted 3 does (female deer) just ahead of me. As I approached them (they’re not afraid of humans, since they’re legally protected from hunters), a big buck (male deer) from seemingly out of nowhere, aggressively charged the does.

The biggest doe turned abruptly and stared at the buck, then charged him!… Read more

What Is True Wealth?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 2

We may be poor in the white man’s way, but we are not poor in the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota ways because we are connected to above and everywhere. ~ David Swallow, Elder and Head Man of the Oglala Lakota Nation

Oglala Lakota Warrior

When I first read David Swallow’s quotation above, I marveled at the power and simplicity of his words. Especially this part: “…we are connected to above and everywhere.”

Spirit

This idea of true wealth has become horribly distorted in your modern world.… Read more

The Amazing Power of Compassion

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

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~ The Dalai Lama

child-crying-in-war-zone

Recently I’d been feeling a bit “out of sorts.” I couldn’t concentrate on my work, household chores, etc. This is not typical for me.

But I understood, at least partly, why it was happening. We recently had a sudden death in the family. Several close friends and family were enduring difficult, life-changing challenges. Then, just days ago, I found out a good friend had been killed in a tragic accident.… Read more

Is Service the Meaning of Life?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 10

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity. ~ Leo Tolstoy

Recently, I read an amazing and heart-warming story of an Alaskan husky. You don’t have to be a dog-lover to appreciate this dog’s dedication to service.

Amelia Milling, a 21-year-old deaf student, was on a three-day solo trek in the Alaskan wilderness. She took a brutal 600-foot fall. When she finally came to a crashing halt, she was dazed and bleeding. At that moment, Nanook, an Alaskan husky appeared seemingly out of nowhere.… Read more

The Voice of an Angel

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spiritual power | 18

We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds. ~ Anton Chekov

Music is well said to be the speech of angels. ~ Thomas Carlyle

We’ve talked about angels a fair bit over the past few months. It’s one subject I never tire of. But I know some of you do. So this will be our last angel post for a while.

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

Are Guardian Angels Real?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 9

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand. The angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~ George Eliot, English writer, 1819-1881

Is It a Rope or a Snake?

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

Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet. They are what we call civilization. ~ Barbara Kingsolver, American writer

poisonous-snake

In his book, The Master Speaks, Joel Goldsmith, a leading 20th-century spiritual teacher, tells an interesting story from Hindu scripture.

A man walks into his bathroom and is horrified when he sees a snake. When his eyes had accustomed to the near-darkness, he takes a closer look and sees the “snake” is simply a coiled rope.

Joel then goes on to say:
“Loose anything, loose any condition, and let it go….And… Read more

The Power of Silence

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

Silence is an empty space. Space is the home of the awakened mind. ~ Buddha

glider-silence

Many years ago, when I was a new commercial pilot, part of our flight training had been, odd as it sounds, practicing silence. Well, silence was not the purpose of the practice, just a side benefit.

My flight school was in the Rocky Mountains northwest of Denver, Colorado. Our training included, as you’d expect, learning to handle emergencies, one of which was losing engine power. In which case, your plane turned into a glider.… Read more

Conquer Your Fear of Death and Know You are Immortal

Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. ~ Susan Ertz, British author

old-man-woman-mortal-immortal

Would you want to live forever? The quest for physical immortality seems to be consuming more and more people today. Our planet appears to be plunged into deep confusion and chaos. Why, then, would anyone want to live in that for endless years?

Spirit

We’ve spoken before about the chaos engulfing the planet and all living beings on it.… Read more

What Is Perception or Can You Trust What You See?

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

It is impossible not to believe what you see. But it is equally impossible to see what you do NOT believe. ~ A Course in Miracles

A few days ago, I got an interesting lesson is how deceiving our perception can be. I was at my desk getting ready to open some mail. Looking around for my letter opener, I could not find it.

After searching my entire desk unsuccessfully, I was about to give up. At that moment, I looked down and there was my letter opener — right there in plain sight, directly in front of me.… Read more

What Planet Are You From?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 12

The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren’t any space aliens. We can’t be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we’re not all that is. If so, we’re in big trouble. ~ Ellen DeGeneres

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

In Ted’s message today he raises a powerful and timely question, one that should concern every one of us.… Read more

Is the Afterlife (Life After Death) Impossible?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 7

The afterlife is the belief that an essential part of an individual’s identity, or the stream of consciousness, continues to manifest after the death of the physical body. ~ Wikipedia

So what do you believe? Do we simply cease to exist after our physical bodies die? Or does some part of us live forever? Is there such a thing as the afterlife?

One scientist, Dr. Sean Carroll, physics professor at California Institute of Technology, has this to say:

“Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle…within (the laws of physics)…there’s no way…for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die….… Read more

Thoughts On Life and Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 12

There is no death because what God created shares His life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ~ A Course in Miracles

life-death-eternity

As some of you may know, I just returned to Wyoming from a family funeral in New York. I don’t mean to sound irreverent, but we had fun and laughed a lot.

It reminded me of another family funeral long ago, for my cousin Giuseppe. Giuseppe died at a relatively young age. As a typical Italian immigrant family, we were all very close.… Read more

Dogs: Mystical Messengers and Angels

There is no faith which has never yet been broken, except that of a truly faithful dog. ~ Konrad Lorenz

I know many of you, our readers, love dogs as much as I do. They truly are messengers from spirit. The following is a true story I wrote years ago about Shep, an incredible dog angel in Fort Benton, Montana.

In April 2001, I found myself wandering through remote northern Montana. I was writing an article on Lewis and Clark, and following their epic trail of discovery across country that remains nearly as remote and unspoiled today as it was in their time.… Read more

Guardian Angels

Angels In Our Midst

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ~ Hebrews 13:2

angels-in-sky-on-earth

A couple of weeks ago, I was walking out to my mailbox. Since I live in a remote area, it’s a long walk. There’s only one house between my house and the mailbox.

As I passed that house, I heard someone cry out to me. I looked over and saw a cute, dark-haired little boy waving at me. I thought it was strange, having never seen him before.… Read more

8 Kindness Lessons I Learned at the Shoe Repair Shop

Celebrating Diversity and Embracing Oneness

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, United States president, 1953-1961

You Are the Answer

Man’s ultimate destiny is to become one with the Divine Power which governs and sustains the creation and its creatures. ~ Alfred A. Montapert

I love that quotation above. Do you believe our destiny is to become one with God, with Goddess — or whatever name you prefer for that divine power which created all that is?

Spirit

You are the answer to every question, every dilemma you have ever had. You are divine, literally. But your ego and your world have done a great job of brainwashing you.… Read more

It’s Time To Claim Your Authenticity

What we’re all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection. ~ Oprah Winfrey

This week we’re featuring an article by my good friend, Ted Murray. Ted’s a great writer and an amazing spiritual teacher. I think his message today will resonate with many of you. It certainly did with me. Here he is.

Ted Murray

Are you sometimes (or maybe often) hesitant or even ashamed to claim your ability to connect powerfully with the universe? Perhaps people will think you are weird or downright crazy if you start to talk about miraculous energy healing, the Akashic records, ETs, or any number of other things that seem natural for you but completely outside the experience of “normal” society.… Read more

Is Beauty Really In the Eye of the Beholder?

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. ~ Anne Frank (1929-1945), Diary of a Young Girl, 1952

ocean-sunset-beauty

Well, perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all probably know at least one someone who is blind to the beauty of our world. Someone who focuses on the ugliness, which is not hard to find (if that’s what they’re looking for) in people, places, politics, etc.

But beauty also exists quite apart from how humans see the world.… Read more

Are You Hiding Your Light?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 3

I am the light of the world ~ A Course in Miracles

Many of us grew up believing we did not have much to contribute to the world or our fellow humans. I certainly believed that. How about you?

If you grew up Catholic, as I did, your sense of self-worth was pretty miserable. The admission “I am not worthy” was enshrined as part of the ceremonial liturgy.

It took me many years to get beyond that nonsense. Some never get that far.… Read more

Accepting Total Responsibility for Our Lives

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 10

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be the most useful. ~ Marie Curie, physicist and first woman to win a Nobel Prize
