The Power of Gratitude

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

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. ~ Denis Waitley

Two days ago, on November 25, 2021, the United States celebrated its annual holiday of Thanksgiving.

The message of gratitude often gets confused, misused, and even lost. So it’s helpful to remind ourselves, now and then, of how much we have to be truly grateful for.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts about gratitude.… Read more

Religion: Curse Or Blessing?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul, spiritual power | 0

The essential work of religion is to help us recognize and recover the divine image in ourselves and in everything. Whatever we call it, this “image of God” is absolute and unchanging. There is nothing we can do to increase it or decrease it. ~ Reverend Richard Rohr

Spirit

We have often said religion is neither desirable nor undesirable. It depends entirely upon the humans who practice any particular religion or follow any particular religious practices.

Berna and Johnny grew up in the Roman Catholic tradition.… Read more

The Power of Solitude

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 1

Solitude is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it.~ Deepak Chopra

One of people’s greatest fears is being alone. How about you? Do you fear growing old alone? Or do you fear any situation where you are totally on your own?

Few ever consider the benefits of being alone, or the power of solitude.

Spirit

We have often said you are never alone. So why are we talking about solitude, or being alone, today?… Read more

The Magic and Mystery of Time

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

We’ve talked about time several times over the years—what it is, what it is not, how we can better understand and use it.

Here, in no particular order, are some of Spirit’s thoughts on the magic and mystery of time.

Linear time is a convenient invention you’ve created to help you make sense of your experiences in a physical body.
You can always alter your perception of time, and how you experience it.
Time, as you perceive it, is a myth.

Mother Earth

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

Steven Charleston is an Episcopal bishop and a member of the Choctaw Native American Tribe. His religious practices are a blend of his Christian faith and Native American spirituality.

Reverend Charleston practices what’s been called “laying on of hands.” He’s also an environmental activist.

He has invited all people to join him in a healing ceremony for our Mother Earth. In the ceremony, as he lays his hands on the earth, he says “Thank you, Mother, for all you have given us.… Read more

The Power of Self-Love

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 2

I have no political convictions nor any interest in politics. However, one politician I’ve long admired is former US President Jimmy Carter.

President Carter once said, “…I’ve become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can’t see—the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are. (emphasis added)

Spirit

The main problem with your modern world is love—that is, the lack of it. Especially the lack of self-love.

We realize most, if not all, of you were never really taught the truth about love.… Read more

Life, Death, and Suicide

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

A recent news article talked about a 51-year-old woman who was planning to kill herself last weekend. She has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. As a Roman Catholic, she knows her church condemns suicide.

ALS is a progressive neurological ailment, nearly always fatal. One of our family members died from ALS years ago. It was, as you might imagine, difficult to watch him struggle and finally die years later.

Here are some of our random thoughts and words, over the years, about life, death, suicide, and euthanasia.… Read more

Oneness and Separation

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

Spirit

How can you become one again if you do not first become fully aware of the many illusions of separation you have imposed upon yourselves?

Yes, you certainly are undergoing some serious and heavy challenges on your planet today. Challenges on every level—physical, emotional, economic, spiritual.

You should rejoice you are undergoing such challenges and changes!

The physical manifestation of that new energy flow may still, for a time, appear to you as pain. But your experience of it will be much lighter—and even joyful.… Read more

The Web of Love

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

“The Web of Love is an energetic web which connects the sacred essence of all beings in our world.” Source: The Web of Love

Spirit

We often speak of love as the choice to see the divinity in all beings. Unfortunately, humans often define love narrowly, usually in a romantic sense. Of course, love is far more than romantic feelings.

As your Bible says, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Luke 6:27 How many humans, do you suppose, live—truly live—those words?… Read more

Kindness and Caring

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

In today’s world it’s often tempting to believe humanity has gone to hell in a big way. But there is much kindness and caring out there that never makes it into the mainstream news.

Spirit

We realize it can be challenging for humans to believe there is much kindness and caring in your modern world.

One glance at your mainstream news media will convince you, as Johnny says, your world has gone to hell. And each morning you can see more “evidence” of that.… Read more

What Happens After You Die?

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

On May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. As the plane rolled down the runway, its left engine broke off.

The aircraft crashed less than a mile from the runway, killing all 258 passengers, 13 crew, and 2 people on the ground.

At the time I was a commercial pilot and, naturally, was riveted by this tragic event.

There was a trailer park near the crash site. Immediately after the crash, trailer park residents started reporting strange events.… Read more

Coronavirus Protection

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

I don’t pay much attention to the mainstream news media. Therefore, when a reader sent us a question about spike proteins, I didn’t know what they were. So we researched it.

Here’s the question:
What does Spirit say about how to protect ourselves who have not been (vaccinated) from the “shedding” of spike proteins from those that have been (vaccinated)?

Spirit

The simple answer to our reader’s question is you do not need protection.

You are eternally safe in the arms of your Father/Mother God.… Read more

Anger: It’s Time To Let It Go

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

In our modern world there is, arguably, more anger on many fronts than in recent memory.

A reader sent us these thoughts:
“I ask as I struggle, after being wronged by others, to let go of anger and move on to focusing on the joy/challenge of living the rest of my life. How do you deal with injustice and find peace?

Spirit

You have never been “wronged” by anyone. Every relationship, every circumstance you have ever experienced in this or any other lifetime is purely a co-creation when it involves others.… Read more

The Power of Kindness

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

In today’s crazy, chaotic world, it can be hard to show kindness to those folks around us. But it always pays off, one way or another, whether we see the results or not. Kindness is true power.

Spirit

You often feel powerless in your lives, especially when you witness such events as you see in your mainstream news media almost daily. After all, they specialize in the “bad stuff.”

But is bad stuff all there is on your planet? Of course not.… Read more

About Prana and Food, Follow-Up

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

Question:
What is the most effective way to take in prana (God energy)?

Spirit

Prana is all around you. You can’t avoid it. It is God energy. You enhance the intake of it when you pay conscious attention to it—when you deliberately seek to enhance it to energize your physical and mental well-being. You can even heal, yourself and others, instantly.

The most effective way to take in prana varies with the individual. You have to discover this for yourself. Focusing on your breathing is one way.… Read more

About Prana and Food

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

Question:
If you take in prana (God energy) the right way, do you need food any longer?

Spirit

When you bring prana, or God energy, into any substance you put into your physical bodies, the substance cannot harm you.

We don’t advise you to go without food, but you can reduce the amount you take in. It has to be a conscious activity. If you believe you must have a big breakfast. or eat three meals a day (a common mis-belief), then you do that.… Read more

The Power of Intention

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

Spirit and Berna had a recent conversation about intention. Her question to them was Can you tell us more about the concept of intention?

Spirit

It is a powerful concept, a powerful tool in your spiritual toolbox. Your intention is everything, because with your intention you can literally change the path of your life. Nothing can be achieved without intention, a clear and powerful intention.

Any time you form an intention (for example, if you want to heal your body of something) you first form the intention to accomplish the healing.… Read more

God and Science

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

One of our favorite scientists is Carl Sagan. Some people have described him as an atheist. But he denied that label.

Spirit

We define love as simply a choice – a choice to recognize the divinity in all beings (all that is). First, though, what is all that is?

“All that Is” is another term for the Great Spirit—God—Goddess, or whatever other names you want to use for the supreme being. We like “All That Is.”

All That Is is all that exists.… Read more

Wildfires

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

Wildfires are usually highly destructive forces. This is obvious these days in the American state of California, and other parts of the American and Canadian West.

What do wildfires have to do with spirituality?

Spirit

Fire can be a very destructive force. That’s obvious in what’s going on today with the wildfires. But fire is also a cleansing and healing force.

Part of the reason these so-called natural disasters happen is to counteract or to cleanse, the effects of harmful human energies on the planet today.… Read more

Sexuality and Religion

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

Father James Martin is an American Jesuit priest. He’s a strong advocate for the LGBT community.

Lately, Father Martin has come under fire from conservative elements within his own Roman Catholic Church.

I graduated from a Jesuit college. The Jesuits are sometimes noted for their more liberal (humanitarian) approach to Christianity than other elements of the Roman church, including The Vatican.

Recently, Father Martin criticized his church in the new documentary, Building a Bridge, featured at the Tribeca Film Festival.… Read more

Suddenly There Is Winter

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

We adapted this week’s post from a piece we wrote many years ago. As often happens, the subject is as timely now as it was when we wrote the piece.

Spirit

These are times of momentous changes on your planet. At one moment, you are enjoying the roses of summer. Then the roses fade and their petals fall to the earth. The trees change colors and their leaves fall to the earth. Your brothers and sisters, the animals of the earth, begin to hibernate.… Read more

The Insanity of War

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

Michelantonio “Tony” Vaccaro was a World War 2 United States Army soldier and photographer. He survived the horrors of that war and is now 98 years old.

Tony, the son of Italian immigrants, speaks eloquently of war’s insanity and inhumanity. Accompanying his graphic photo of a German soldier his army unit had just killed, he had this to say:

It reminds me of the tragedy of mankind. He’s not a German. He’s a human being….We are humans. And nothing else.

Spirit

As Tony says, “We are humans.… Read more

Contacting Your Spirit Guides

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 1

A while ago, a reader asked us this question:

How can I contact my spirit guides, or know when they’re there?

That’s a good question, one which many folks have.

Spirit

Your spirit guides are always there. They are part of you, and can never leave you.

You’ve probably heard that all humans are one with one another. But, beyond that, they are one with Creator or God—or whatever term you prefer for divine energy.

There are limitless ways your spirit guides can connect with you.… Read more

God, The World, and You

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

One of our favorite spiritual teachers is the Franciscan priest, Richard Rohr. In one of Father Richard’s recent messages, he said:

“When you can see Christ in all things (including yourself!), you will see and live differently. I’ve spent my life trying to remind people of their inherent belovedness, and I pray that our work at the Center for Action and Contemplation has played a role in helping you to see, feel, and experience the hope of your own chosenness in God.… Read more

Teach Only Selfishness

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

Today we’re revisiting a post we wrote years ago.

Spirit

How often have you heard it said “Think only of others.” – “Love others unconditionally.” – “Put others before yourself.” – “Be of service to others.” – etc. etc.?

Those are noble-sounding sentiments. But they will guarantee you a life of misery and joylessness.

Many times, you’ve heard us, and others, say you cannot serve another unless you first serve yourself, you cannot love another if you do not first love yourself.… Read more
