Alternate Realities

posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, inspiration | 2

Recently, Berna and I were having one of our daily chats about spirituality.

She told me she was planning to visit a close friend of hers. I asked her about this friend’s neighborhood, as I remembered it from our recent visit—the red brick buildings with many big trees, large grassy expanses, and other details. Berna knew the area well.

Then she said she and I had never been there together. I was, to put it mildly, surprised! I asked her if my description of the neighborhood was accurate.Read more

The Power of Gratitude

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

Accepting Total Responsibility for Our Lives

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

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.

Do not ask Spirit to heal the body. Ask rather that Spirit teach you the right perception of the body….A therapist doesn’t heal, he lets the healing be. ~ A Course in Miracles

This post is the third in our ongoing question-and-answer series.

Question:

I am enjoying the questions and answers. I recently read about a Hawaiian therapist. It is incredibly intriguing to me.

He states that we are all responsible for everything that we see in our world. By taking full personal responsibility and then healing the wounded places within ourselves, we can literally heal ourselves and the world.Read more

US Presidential Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017

posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 4

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. ~ US President Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865, just before the end of the Civil War

It’s Time For Healing

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 animals of the planet are in desperate peril. Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen. ~ Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple

You’ve probably heard the news of protests circling the planet over the recent death of the legendary, beloved Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe.

Many people, animal lovers or not, are distressed, sad, and angry. Maybe you’re one of them.

As you might expect in such situations, people’s reactions vary widely.Read more

The Secret to Finding Solace in the Silence and Stillness by John Cali and Spirit

posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 10

Whenever there is some silence around you—listen to it. That means just notice it. Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence. ~ Eckhart Tolle

practice the art of silenceBe Silent

Last week started out well. But by the end of the week, I was floundering around, confused and distressed by a challenge I’d never faced before.

One morning, upon awakening, I noticed I could not hear out of my left ear.Read more

In our last post, Signs from Spirit, we talked about feathers and how Spirit often uses them to send us messages. There are many ways Spirit can communicate with us. Some are obvious, others more subtle.

Our dear friend Diotima Markis sent me an email after we published that last post. Diotima is a wonderfully spiritual lady, and a spiritual teacher as well.Read more

Five Seagulls by Hans Brockhuis

Provokingly slowly the tide goes out. I am watching the slow passage of the large cargo vessels, and the diligent sailing to and fro of the pilot boats. It’s fascinating, and more than that. I’m really having a great time.

Seated on a bench on the promenade, I look out over the wide funnel-shaped estuary and for a long time I enjoy at ease the light, the air, and the water. It’s really a fantastic spectacle. The changing of many colors: green and blue, gray and white.Read more

You Are Beautiful Just As You Are by John Cali and Spirit

God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them ~ Genesis 1:27

angel-645591_640Angel Light

In our last blog post, How Do You Express the Light of God?, we talked about an elderly lady who, despite her age and infirmity, nonetheless radiated a powerful, loving energy all about her.

This week we’re talking about another person who radiated that same loving energy all his life.

You all chose the details of this and your other lifetimes.Read more

How To Conquer Fear Forever by John Cali and Spirit

I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are. ~ Frances Moore Lappe

fear-441402_640

 

I firmly believe, as the above quotation says, the root of our fear is always denying our true selves.

We are, after all, God in human form, albeit temporarily. Fear does not exist for God. Fear is only an illusion we’ve created because we have forgotten our divine heritage, our true identity.

Spirit

Fear is one of the biggest bugaboos you humans have created for yourselves.Read more

Does God Exist? Is There Consciousness Outside of the Body, Or Life After Death? Part 1 by Anny Vos

 

Stonehenge_sun

The questions in the title of this post have always been asked by humanity. Spirituality and religion say yes to most of these questions, whereas science mostly denies it. For a long time matter was all that was real to science, although there are scientists who somehow manage to combine religion and science.

Science and spirituality are like mind and soul, like male and female, two opposites that have got out of balance since we ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.Read more

Why You Need To Always Be True To Yourself by John Cali and Spirit

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. ~ Richard Bach

i-love-myself-417267__180

As we all know, being true to ourselves can be a daunting challenge in our modern world. There are so many forces and influences trying to persuade us to rely on them instead of our own inner resources and knowing. And yet the only reliable resources and true knowing come only from within each of us.

As my spirit guides often say, our inner guidance is always our highest and best authority.Read more

The wisdom of your soul is a pearl beyond any price. Every single learning and growth that you have experienced in every lifetime and between every lifetime has contributed to the brilliance, to the luminescence and beauty of the energy of your soul. It is hard if not impossible for human beings to even imagine a fraction of the brilliance of their soul and of who they truly are. And that has been part of the journey for humanity.Read more

It’s that time of year when many folks make new year resolutions, often to abandon them only days or weeks later.

I no longer make new year resolutions. I prefer to call them intentions. When we create an intention the universe infuses it with powerful energy. That enables us to effortlessly flow toward fulfillment of the intention — as opposed to struggling to stick to a resolution.Read more

How To Find Peace In the Silence by John Cali and Spirit

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, ~ Mahatma Gandhi

If God Is All-Powerful Why Does S/he Allow Suffering, Like Ebola? by John Cali and Spirit

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. ~ Helen Keller, 1880-1968

A couple days ago I read an interesting article about the Ebola crisis in Africa. The author was questioning how such suffering could exist if God is all-powerful.

Good question.

Spirit

The “bottom line” here is God is NOT all-powerful. Does that shock you? It’s true.

God does not will humans to suffer, either deliberately or by neglect.… Read more

Our recent post, The Prayer of God, received some really nice comments from you, our dear readers. One of you asked if we had any more articles by the anonymous writer. Since then I’ve found several more.

We’re publishing one of those today. It’s similar in tone to The Prayer of God. I hope you’ll like it.

Two days ago I was out for a walk in the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a snarling dog hurled himself at me, taking a chunk out of my leg. As I defended myself, he bit me on the wrist. Finally I managed to chase him off. With my leg and wrist bleeding, I painfully limped back home.… Read more

Dying Is the Easiest Thing You Will Ever Do by John Cali and Spirit

Dying is a spiritual and psychological necessity, for after a while the exuberant, ever-renewed energies of the spirit can no longer be translated into flesh….The self outgrows the flesh. ~ Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts

Does Your Gratitude Have Conditions Attached To It? by John Cali and Spirit

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
