Forever Faithful by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, spirituality | 6

This blog post is a bit “off the beaten path” as far as spiritual topics go. But not too far off, as it’s as story of loyalty and love. It’s excerpted from a book I wrote a few years ago,
Dogs: Heartwarming, Soul-Stirring Stories of our Canine Companions.

“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

Dr. Bernie Siegel tells a wonderful story about his marriage. Years ago he fell off his roof, hitting his head on the pavement. He developed amnesia from the injury. He said the amnesia dramatically improved his marriage with his wife Bobbie. But when his memory returned, he sought marriage counseling.

Fascinating story! After I thought about it, I realized what Bernie’s underlying message was. If we simply forget (or, in this case, cannot remember) all our past baggage, our relationships automatically improve.… Read more

I’m sure at least some of you have heard this remarkable story of Joshua Bell, one of the world’s greatest violinists.

As arranged by The Washington Post, in January 2007 Bell got off the Metro at Washington, DC’s L’Enfant Plaza Station. Dressed as a nondescript young man in jeans, t-shirt, and baseball cap, he placed himself against a wall beside a trash container. He put his open violin case at his feet and threw in a few dollars and coins as an enticement to passersby.… Read more

Do You Believe in Miracles? by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, inspiration, spirituality | 14

A Course in Miracles tells us “Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.”

My spirit guides say what we call miracles are commonplace, nothing extraordinary. In fact, they are the most ordinary of events. But unless they find their way into the news media, they go largely unnoticed. And yet they happen every day of our lives.… Read more

We talked about Seth and Jane Roberts in two earlier blog articles: Are You A Victim of Yourself? and Can We Travel To Other Dimensions?

Our title today is one of the Seth concepts I adopted when I first started reading the Seth books many years ago. It’s a tough concept for many folks to accept. How can this valley of tears possibly be fun?… Read more

The Power of One

This is a true story. It happened November 25, 1854 on the shores of Lake Erie, one of the five Great Lakes on the US-Canadian border.

The Lake Erie Quadrangle is a 2,500-square-mile area in the central part of the lake. The Quadrangle has seen over 400 shipwrecks. Compare that to the infamous Bermuda Triangle with 14,000 square miles and about 110 shipwrecks.

The Lake Erie Quadrangle is a dark, dangerous place where brutal storms can rear up in the blink of an eye.… Read more

Your Life Matters by John Cali

Occasionally I wonder if the work I’m doing matters much in these chaotic times we live in, if my life is making any positive difference in other people’s lives. Have you ever wondered if your life matters?

A few years ago, I received a letter from one of our newsletter readers who had just seen the wonderful Way of the Warrior video produced by our dear friend, Reinis Ikass. Here’s part of that letter:… Read more

Steve Bhaerman, a.k.a. Swami Beyondananda, tells a wonderful story about Albert Einstein.

A reporter came to Einstein’s laboratory at Princeton to interview him. She was surprised to see a horseshoe above his door. “Professor Einstein,” she asked, “surely a man of science like you doesn’t believe a horseshoe will bring you good luck?”… Read more

Romantic Relationships by John Cali

As you already know, romantic relationships are a popular topic among us humans. The topic comes up often in conversations I have with many folks. Many times my spirit guides have said  relationships, romantic or not, can be delightful or devastating. Either way they are always opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.… Read more

Growth Opportunity #1 by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, spirituality | 2

My spirit guides recently suggested we do regular postings of “growth opportunities.” What they meant was regularly sharing my personal challenges and insights with all of you. Challenges, as they define them, are opportunities for growth. They generally result in new insights. Here’s the first one:… Read more

How To Live A Healthy Life by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, spirituality | 0

My spirit guides often have wise advice for those of us still in physical bodies. Here’s a summary of their advice for living a healthy life.

  • Meditate regularly. It doesn’t have to be a long time. Regularity is more important than length.
  • Pay attention to your breathing. Your breath is your most powerful connection to your soul. That’s why conscious breathing and meditation go well together.
  • Pay attention to what you put into your physical body. Eat food as close as possible to its natural state.

Right and Wrong by John Cali

I recently heard a wonderfully wise and witty speech by Brene Brown. She talked briefly about religion:

“Religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty. I’m right, you’re wrong, shut up.”

That superior condescending attitude applies not only to religion, but also to other areas of our modern society. Politics, for example. And even personal relationships.… Read more

Affirmations from Spirit by John Cali

by | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, spirituality | 0

Every now and then, my spirit guides suggest affirmations to me and also to others, especially in private readings. Here are a few recent affirmations:

  • My body will last as long as I choose to live.
  • It will be in good health until the day I die.
  • I have an abundance of money.
  • If the flow of money to me slows to a trickle, I know there’s much more coming to me.
  • I am “lucky” in so many ways.
  • Whatever I need always comes to me.

Kirk Douglas, legendary American actor and icon, told a thought-provoking little story some years ago.

Kirk was driving down the freeway in southern California when he spotted a young man hitchhiking. He pulled over and the youngster jumped in.

It was only after he was in the car that he took a look at Kirk. With a shocked expression on his face, he blurted out  “Do you know who you are?”… Read more

Spirit has said our pets are often our spiritual teachers. Intriguing idea, isn’t it?
John Cali

In July this year we wrote an article, Heart to Heart. In that article Spirit said this:

“Animals, especially your domestic pets (as you call them) — and especially dogs and cats — are more often than not your teachers. They have little to learn from you. But you have much to learn from them.”

I know many of us dearly love our pets and often treat them as revered family members.

Last week I finished reading a wonderfully uplifting book called Heart to Heart, from which I took the title of this week’s newsletter article. 

John Cali

The book, by world-renowned British animal communicator, Pea Horsley, was a gift to me from my dear friend Barbara Clark.

The book, as you might imagine, is about Pea’s work with animals. She’s not only a gifted animal communicator, but also a great writer. In her warmhearted way, she’ll have you alternately laughing and crying as she tells of helping people the world over find lost pets.… Read more

Self-Love by John Cali

A Gallup poll a while back reported 2 out of 3 Americans suffer from low self-esteem and, presumably, a lack of self-love. That’s nearly 70 percent of the USA’s population!

The poll didn’t talk about other countries, but I’d guess it’s about the same as in the United States.

There’s been a steady, years-long stream of folks suffering from a lack of self-love and self-esteem coming to us for private sessions with Spirit. There have also been some of my close family and friends who’ve talked with me about their lack of self-love and self-esteem.… Read more

John Cali

In two days the USA will celebrate its annual Thanksgiving holiday. For most Americans it’s an important celebration, and the prelude to the December holiday season.

Thanksgiving, as the name indicates, is about giving thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives. Leaders, political and religious, urge us to be grateful for the good we enjoy, usually things such as our health, homes, families, friends, jobs, etc.… Read more
