The Power of Love

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

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will finally know peace. ~ Jimi Hendrix love-is-power

Many years ago, one of my spirit guides said the sole purpose of humans is two-fold: first, to remember who they are and second, to remember why they are here.

Spirit

One of the aspects of love is a choice you can freely make—the choice to see the divinity in all beings, in all that is.

Every thought of love and compassion you hold soothes and nurtures the world around you.… Read more

The Myth of Heaven and Hell

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

I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell. You see, I have friends in both places. ~ Mark Twain

stairsways-heaven-hell

Folks often ask us, in emails and private readings, what life is like “beyond the veil,” in the realms of spirit. In what you might call heaven (or hell). It’s a good question. So today we’re going to give you Spirit’s perspective on it.

Spirit

First, there is no “veil,” no separation between you and us. That’s a story humans have invented.… Read more

God Is A Big Illusion We Made Up

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright, American architect and writer

yosemite-national-park-sunrise

If you read our last week’s post, You and God Have An Eternal Connection, you may be puzzled by this post’s title. In fact, you may think I’ve lost my mind.

Let me explain.

Today I was at my desk wondering what we were going to write about for this week’s post. Then I remembered a close friend from long ago. She didn’t believe in God, and did her best to convince me to ditch my beliefs.… Read more

You and God Have An Eternal Connection

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers. ~ Brenda Ueland, American journalist and writer

man-spirit-god-connection

Our dear friend George Ball, of Alexandria, Virginia, suggested recently that we come up with some inspirational thoughts to remind us that we and Spirit are eternally connected. I think George’s idea is a great way to start this new year of 2018—and set the tone for the whole year, and beyond.

The following list consists of Spirit’s random thoughts, in no particular order.… Read more

The Spirit of Compassion

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

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace. ~ Albert Schweitzer

Syrian Refugee Children

I thought a good way to start the new year would be to focus on something so much of today’s world seems to be lacking—compassion.

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we love. (I picked that image above because the little boy looks so much like my grandson.)

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we agree with, those who are, basically, the same as us.… Read more

The Spirit of Love

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 12

Copyright © 2017 by Barbara Clark

It doesn’t matter how you celebrate this holiday season—with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Winter Solstice, Chinese New Year, etc. etc. Or even if you don’t celebrate the season at all. But I think most of us would agree this is the season to celebrate the spirit of love.

Spirit

Because animals are naturally uninhibited, they express themselves far more clearly than most humans. This is particularly true when they demonstrate love for the humans in their lives.… Read more

The Healing Power of Mother Nature

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

People say to me so often, “Jane, how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful?” And I will always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.” Jane Goodall, British anthropologist.

Parable of the Beautiful House of Light

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

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone. Nay, God is within, and your genius is within. ~ Epictetus, Greek Stoic philosopher

beautiful-house

We’re doing something a bit different today. A while back, best-selling author and filmmaker James Twyman wrote a powerful parable. Today, with his permission, we’re sharing it with you.

Many years ago, longer than you can even remember, you bought a beautiful house but covered every window with dark, heavy shades.… Read more

The Spirit of Kindness

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

The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. ~ Charles Kuralt 1934-1997, American Journalist

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Since I’m away from home this holiday weekend of Thanksgiving in the United States, we’re keeping this post shorter than usual.

In today’s topsy-turvy world, it’s easy to grow cynical about the human race. Is there any hope for us? Well, Charles Kuralt, in his words above, certainly seems to think so.… Read more

Can Politics and Spirituality Go Together?

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

…if there is any principle of the (United States) 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. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice

Remember, Reclaim, Reconnect

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

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. ~ Anthony J. DiAngelo, The College Blue Book

reconnection-remembrance-relationships

Is there someone in your life you have, perhaps, forgotten? Is there some precious memory you have released and want to reclaim? Maybe now’s the time to remember, reclaim and reconnect.

Spirit gave me this message early one dark and cold, snowy morning earlier this week. It’s one of their shortest ever.

Spirit

This moment on your planet may seem the worst of all times. But, actually, it’s the best of all times.… Read more

The Power of Oneness

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

“That the message We Are All One, interrelated, interconnected and interdependent, with God/Life/One-another, is the one spiritual message that the world has been waiting for to bring about loving and sustainable answers to humanity’s challenges.” ~ Global Oneness Day 2017

As I’m sure many of you know, last Tuesday was the 8th yearly celebration of Global Oneness Day, sponsored by Humanity’s Team, founded by Neale Donald Walsch.

What follows is a bizarre true story of oneness, told to me many years ago by a dear friend who was there.… Read more

Does Your Life Have Purpose?

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

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I’m happy. I can’t figure it out. What am I doing right? ~ Charles Schulz, “Peanuts” cartoonist

I-love-you-life

My spirit guides and I often get questions about life’s purpose. Many folks feel life, especially in our seemingly chaotic world, has no purpose. Worse, they feel totally useless, like a rudderless ship at sea. They’re drifting aimlessly and sadly from one day to the next, from one moment to the next.… Read more

Did You Miss the End of Time on September 23?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 17

…all endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time. ~ Mitch Albom, author of The Five People You Meet in Heaven

end-of-the-world

In case you missed it, the world was supposed to end last month on Saturday, September 23. That was the theory promoted by David Meade who calls himself a “specialist in research and investigations.” Oddly enough, Meade said he didn’t really expect it to happen. Obviously, it did not—at least not for you, if you’re reading this.… Read more

How To Predict the Future

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

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ~ Alan Kay

welcome-to-the-future

It doesn’t take a psychologist to see why so many people are totally stressed out today. Our world is experiencing more chaos and confusion than it has in recent memory, or perhaps ever. The stress can take many forms: illness, broken relationships, anger, fear, depression. And the litany goes on.

People are frantic in their search for peace of mind. One place they search is the future.… Read more

Hurricanes, Angels and Geese

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

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship. ~ Louisa May Alcott, American novelist and poet

angel-saving-sinking-ship-hurricane

I realize the title for this post sounds crazy, but bear with me.

Every year around this time we get large flocks of Canadian geese coming down from Canada to spend the winter. Our winters in Wyoming can be brutally cold. But I guess the geese think the winters in the Canadian West are even worse.

I’ve always been intrigued by geese and their behavior.… Read more

The Incredible Value and Power of Silence

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

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after truth. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

practice-art-of-silence

Lately I’ve become super-sensitive to all the noise in our world—the lack of silence, even the fear of silence. So many folks struggle with silence—they don’t know how to “do” it. Of course, I realize it’s a challenge when you have a family, a job and all the other daily experiences that do not encourage silence.… Read more

Animals in Life and the Afterlife

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

The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as “pets,” for food, in research laboratories, or any other uses to which we subject them. ~ Jane Goodall, British anthropologist

animals-friends

I realize the topic of animal welfare is often a contentious and confusing one. There are various aspects to consider, as Jane Goodall clearly states above.… Read more

The Incredible Power of Love

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

God, being Love, is also happiness. Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it. Nor can it be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. ~ A Course in Miracles

dalai-lama-love-kindness

The other day I was reading The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking by James Twyman. I was particularly struck by these words:

“Give only love, no matter what the conditions might seem to be, and it will be the only thing you perceive.… Read more

What Can You Expect at Death?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 18

Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. ~ A Course in Miracles

angel-guiding-souls-home-death

According to some studies, the two things most folks fear are public speaking and death. We can avoid public speaking, but apparently not death. Or can we avoid even that?

I’m sure you’ve seen all the stories out there about near-death experiences. Many folks who return from those experiences report they’ve totally lost their fear of death.… Read more

Standoff at Charlottesville: Can Hatred Survive?

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Many years ago, I spent an idyllic summer at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. The small city was home to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Both served as governors of Virginia and also United States presidents.

What You Ought To Know about Loneliness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

We are all so much together, but we are dying of loneliness. ~ Albert Schweitzer

darkness-despair-loneliness

You would think in this super-connected world we live in no one would feel lonely. Communication is literally instantaneous, even across thousands of miles. And yet there is an epidemic of loneliness plaguing so many people all across the globe.

One of our readers wrote me recently. With her permission, I want to share with you part of her letter:

I’ve been thinking of our last conversation with Spirit and how you told me I already know everything.… Read more

What Masks Are You Wearing?

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

Years ago a good friend asked me, “What masks are you wearing?” A bit startled by her question, I replied, “I’m not wearing any masks.” “Yes, you are,” she said.

In the years since that day, I’ve come to realize she was absolutely right. We’re all wearing masks. We’ve become experts at disguising our true identities.

It’s even reached the point where many of us believe we ARE our masks. We’ve totally forgotten who we really are.

Spirit

We completely agree with what Johnny’s friend said to him years ago.… Read more

Are You Ready for Huge Changes?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 13

Turbulence is life force. Let’s love turbulence and use it for change. ~ Ramsay Clark

earth-broken-heart

People often tell me their hearts are breaking when they see all the huge, seemingly destructive changes on our planet today. It’s tough time to be human, especially for those without a spiritual foundation—and challenging even for those with a spiritual support system.

My dear friend and brother Ted Murray publishes Messages from the Heart, a free daily service. I’ve been following Ted a long time now, and thoroughly enjoy his inspiring, uplifting writing.… Read more

There Is No Difference Between You and God

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

The kingdom of God is within us. The whole of the Godhead is to be found within our individual being, not in holy mountains nor yet in the temple at Jerusalem, but within us. ~ Joel S. Goldsmith

god-human-oneness

Usually when I channel my spirit guides I have a specific subject I want to discuss with them. But occasionally they will simply “pop in” and start dictating to me. So I quickly grab a pen or pencil and start writing. That’s how this short post came about.… Read more
