Do You Believe in the Greatness of Humanity?

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

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. ~ Bob Marley

majestic-mountain

Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard tells the story of Father Pierre Ceyrac, a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and missionary. For 60 years, Father Ceyrac cared for over 30,000 children in India. He lived to be 98 years old, spending almost all his adult life caring for others.

Here are some of Father Ceyrac’s thoughts:

Despite everything, I’m struck by the goodness of people, even those who seem to have their hearts and eyes shut.… Read more

Just A Dog

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

A good dog never dies, he always stays. He walks beside you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter’s drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way. ~ Mary Carolyn Davies, American writer

dog-howling-night-sky

It was two days before Christmas many years ago, my senior year of college. In my parents’ home, I stood staring out the window at the gray winter landscape. The bleak scene mirrored my own inner bleakness. I felt none of the joy of the Christmas season.… Read more

Is the Flu Season a Myth?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 11

Everyone has a doctor in him or her. We just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. ~ Hippocrates

celebrate-the-joy-of-the-holiday-season

The holiday season is upon us. And so too is the flu season—or so the news media (and probably the drug companies) would have us believe. But I know many of you reading this do not buy into that propaganda.

I quit believing in flu season long ago.… Read more

The 10 Ways Gratitude Can Transform Your Life

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

Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. ~ Terry Lynn Taylor, American writer

show-gratitude-for--all-your-blessings

In the United States we celebrated our annual Thanksgiving Day two days ago. My spirit guides thought this would be a good time to “count our blessings.” Most of us have far more blessings than we’re even aware of. It’s important to always know that, especially with the political turmoil in this country and the world over.… Read more

There Are As Many Realities As There Are People on the Planet

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

I never saw an ugly thing in my life, for let the form of an object be what it may—light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful. ~ John Constable, English landscape painter, 1776–1837

Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard tells an interesting story about two of his friends during the monsoon season at his monastery in Nepal. He was sitting on the monastery steps as the two friends approached. Because the courtyard had turned into a muddy mess, the monks had created a path with bricks across the mud.… Read more

It’s Time For Healing

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

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing. Peace is the measure. ~ George Melton

heart love healing a broken world

Lately I’ve had a “dry spell” in my channelling work, and have taken a bit of time away from it. But we’ll be back to what passes for normal next week.

Unless you’re living in a cave somewhere, you’ve probably noticed all the hostility and negativity around the United States presidential election. It’s been a traumatic time for many, a jubilant time for others, depending on which of the two candidates they were rooting for.… Read more

The Standing Rock Pipeline Protesters

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 24

When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us. ~ Native American proverb

bison-herd

They did not grab much attention in the mainstream news, partly because of the negative, noisy US presidential election season. But the Standing Rock pipeline protesters in North Dakota, in my opinion, deserve a hearing. Apparently, they’re not going to get much of one.

As you may know, the protests are over the Dakota Access Pipeline construction in North Dakota, near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.… Read more

Dreams Come True, So Dream the Good Ones

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, manifesting | 7

Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams, whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. ~ A Course in Miracles

dreams-come-true

Our world is filled with fearful dreams. We need look no farther than the news headlines to get a glimpse of all the visions of horror, all the fearful dreams being dumped on humanity.

But we do not have to buy into those dreams, into that darkness. We do not have to make ourselves victims of whatever real or imaginary villains are out there.… Read more

Assisted Suicide: Dying with Dignity

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

Now, as I turn 85…with my life closer to its end than its beginning, I wish to help give people dignity in dying….Dying people should have the right to choose how and when they leave Mother Earth. ~ Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace laureate and Archbishop Emeritus of Capetown, South Africa

The Strangest Dream

Garbage Eyeballs

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, positive thinking | 6

No matter what you are looking at, you can find something wrong with it, something imperfect, something that is not okay with you. Don’t worry, if you look hard enough you’ll find it. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

Many years ago, one of my first spiritual teachers had a favorite phrase he often used: “garbage eyeballs.”

The White Dove of Peace on Earth

In preparing to write this post, I was searching through some quotations on war. Here are several of my favorites:

Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come. ~ Carl Sandburg, American poet, writer, and editor
You can no more win a war than you can an earthquake. ~ Jeannette Rankin, first woman ever elected to the United States Congress, in 1916, from Montana
War may be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good.

Defying Death

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

Death makes me very angry. Premature death makes me angrier still….Death has never made any sense to me. How can a person be there and then just vanish, just not be there? ~ Larry Ellison, Oracle founder

peaceful graveyard at sunrise

I found Larry Ellison’s words (above) intriguing, to say the least. But when you think about it, isn’t he just echoing what so many other people say? I know most of you reading this most likely have a different perspective on death. But many side with Ellison.… Read more

Is Time Travel Possible?

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

In Einstein’s equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out. ~ Dr. Michio Kaku, Japanese American theoretical physicist.

You Have The Power To Transform The World

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

To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold. ~ Archibald MacLeish

These Secrets To Happiness Can Transform Your Life

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

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~ Og Mandino

A while back, someone on Quora, a question-and-answer forum, asked if it was possible to connect with the spirits of dead people. Here’s the answer we gave, slightly edited:

You are already connected to the spirits of the “dead,” at least those who were close to you in life. And they want to communicate with you.… Read more

Are You Crazy If You’re An Optimist In Today’s World?

His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

The United States appears to be suffering from a plague of senseless killing and heartrending sorrow—and a lack of ordinary human kindness, especially in the political turmoil gripping this country. Many people, not only in the US, but the world over, are in deep depression and grief over all this, and over the traumas occurring all over the planet.… Read more

Folks often ask my spirit guides about relationships. Arguably, relationships are the most challenging aspect of our human lives.

One constant in Spirit’s conversations with people, including me, is their reminder that we never lose those we love.

You have all had many lives and many loves. Those you love in this lifetime have been with you in other lifetimes. Those lifetimes can be what you label “past” or “future.” In the spiritual realms there is no time, only the eternal now.… Read more

Orlando, Florida, USA

June 18, 2016

By now the whole world has heard about the sad, tragic events in Orlando, Florida early last Sunday morning.

Orlando joins a long list of other places and times where the same sad events also happened: Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Aurora, and more.

Orlando is about more than gun rights, terrorism, security, etc. Unfortunately, some are exploiting the Orlando violence for their own political or personal agendas. But the primary issue is: Do we have the right to be who we are and to live our lives accordingly?… Read more

Those Who Serve In Silence

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Buddhist monk in silent prayer

A close friend came to us a while back, wondering why he was on earth, and what difference he was making, if any.

I certainly have often pondered those questions. We all know the difference the great spiritual leaders of our time are making. And we compare ourselves to them. Of course, we come up lacking when we do that.… Read more
