What Happens After You Die?

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

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

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 Intention

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

Wildfires

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

Suddenly There Is Winter

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

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

Compassion and Connection

Nothing you can ever do or say – or even think – can be done in a vacuum, if you will. Everything – and every thing – you do, say, or think affects the entire planet, quite literally – and even goes beyond the boundaries of your planet.

Each of you is connected to all that is. That is not simply a hypothetical concept or theory. It’s a fact – even when you are feeling lost, alone, isolated you are still intimately connected to all that is.Read more

Lessons I Learned From A Bar of Soap

Well, here we go again with another of our weird titles.

Many years ago, my fourth grade teacher had us do a brief experiment for her science class.

Two students stood facing each other. One closed her eyes. The other held a strong-smelling bar of soap under the nose of the student with the closed eyes.

The teacher instructed the student with the closed eyes to let the class know when the other student had removed the bar of soap.

After a minute or so, she said it had been removed.Read more

Return To Love

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

My spirit guides often say nothing you do, say, or think is done in a vacuum. It all ripples out to the whole world and touches many lives, whether you’re aware of it or not.

Spirit

You have often heard us say you are all connected. It can never be otherwise.

However, you live in the illusion of separation. You see this person here, another there, and so on—all separate, even distant from you.

You chose to physically incarnate, or reincarnate, into this world of illusion many times over many years.Read more

The Real Christmas

Our title today is taken from a story my son John wrote many years ago, when he was only 8 years old.

Spirit

Even though many of you are aware of the magic of Christmas, you’ve pretty much lost sight of the real Christmas. It’s become a commercialized farce, a parody of the real Christmas spirit.

Ask and Receive

Many years ago when I was a young, inexperienced pilot I had a terrifying experience I’ll never forget.

It was a sunny Sunday morning in early spring. A friend of mine wanted to go for a plane ride. So we decided to fly from our home near Dunkirk, New York southwest to Youngstown, Ohio. He had family in Youngstown he wanted to visit.

On the return to Dunkirk late that afternoon, the weather turned foggy. I did not yet have an instrument rating.Read more

Euthanasia For Animals

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 4

After our Death and Euthanasia post a few weeks ago, several of our readers asked us to talk about euthanasia as related to animals.

Spirit

One of our readers commented, “Please talk about euthanizing pets. Most of us can’t tell what the animal would want.”

Another added “Please do address thJ8Fcx4Mfd32ssnev@x9G7ske topic when pets/animals go through physical suffering and how we can be of better assistance to them. Thanks again for doing such a great service for all of us!”Read more

Under The Hood

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 0

Back in my aviation days as a flight instructor, we had an expression, “Under the hood.” That was how we trained student pilots — we put them under a hood.

It was literally a hood they wore over their heads. The hood allowed them to see only straight ahead to the airplane’s instrument panel. It blocked out their peripheral vision. The only visual clues they had were the plane’s instruments. They were literally flying blind.

It was often the hardest part of any student pilot’s training.Read more

Death and Euthanasia

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 10

We realize death and euthanasia are are grim-sounding title. But Spirit’s words today are uplifting and joyful, despite the subject.

Someone Berna and I know died recently. He’d been sick a long time, and was in terrible pain. Voluntary euthanasia is legal where he lived. He chose to end his life.

We have long been advocates for euthanasia. That’s alienated some of my family—and perhaps also some of our readers.

Spirit has talked about death, dying, and euthanasia many times over the years.Read more

Dreams of Home

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

A few nights ago, I had a strange dream.

I was wandering around a town in Northern Virginia, a town I lived in many years ago. The town was built around a man-made lake called Lake Anne. I was searching for the lake as I aimlessly wandered about.

Several times, I stopped to ask people if they knew where Lake Anne was. No one did.

Finally, I came across a beautiful young woman sitting on a rock. I asked her if she knew where Lake Anne was.Read more

Freedom For The Thought We Hate

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 23

Over the years I’ve been the target of occasional hate mail. That “goes with the territory” when you put yourself into the public eye. I’m sure any of you putting your work out to the world have had similar experiences.

When I was in college my major course was history, which I’ve always loved. One of my favorite historical figures was US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was an articulate speaker and writer. Here’s one of his quotations:

…if there is any principle of the 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.”Read more

The Power of Touch

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 8

 

As I’m sure you’re all aware, “social distancing” has restricted our physical actions around other people. From what we’ve been seeing, one of the most difficult challenges is to avoid touching others, even those we love. No hugging, kissing, or any other physical contact.

It’s a not-so-gentle reminder of the power of touch, and how we miss it.

Spirit

The power of touch is a fascinating subject, especially for those of us in spirit. Humans, in their physical bodies, are keenly aware, especially in this challenging time on your planet, of the power of physical touch.Read more

Abundance and the Coronavirus

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

John

Many folks, perhaps including you, are suffering financially because of the coronavirus. Some have lost their jobs, their life savings, nearly all their financial support. This includes some among our friends and families.

These times are among the most challenging and heartbreaking many have experienced in this entire lifetime.

Spirit

Let’s begin with what money really is. It is not little strips of paper or metal pieces, especially so-called “precious metals.”

These things are valuable only because humans consider them valuable.Read more

You Never Walk Alone

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 6

In this time of fear and isolation due to the coronavirus, many folks are feeling lost and lonely. But you never walk alone.

Spirit

Many of you often feel disconnected, disjointed if you will, in your chaotic world today. But, as we and many spiritual teachers have reminded you, you never walk alone.

God will never abandon his children. God will never abandon her/himself, for you are all part of God. You are God.

The problem many of you are facing is you do not recognize the many ways God speaks to  you.Read more

Deadly Digital Distractions

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. ~ Eckhart Tolle

I started using computers years ago. Back then, I never dreamed we’d be living in today’s world filled with sometimes–deadly digital distractions.

I love technology. I could not do this work without it. But I set limits.

Berna and I recently spent six days in New York City. We noticed probably 80% of the people walking the streets had their eyes glued to their phones. Several of them nearly ran into us for lack of attention.Read more

The Amazing Power of Your Mind

amazing power of your mind

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and  you will find strength. ~ Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor, 161-180 A.D.

It’s story time again.

A few weeks ago, I was in my office intending to write a list of what I wanted to do the next day. I picked up my old-fashioned fountain pen, which I love writing with. The ink was low, as I hadn’t used it in a while.

The bottle of fountain pen ink in my desk drawer was almost empty.Read more

Perfect Oneness

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 0

Chief Joseph Highway, Wyoming, USA

The great legendary Nez Perce Chief Joseph once said, “All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.”

I would, respectfully, slightly change Joseph’s words: “All people were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers and sisters.”

In today’s chaotic, contentious world, it seems oneness, particularly global oneness, is simply a distant dream, destined to remain forever only a dream.

Will we ever achieve perfect oneness on this beautiful planet of ours?Read more

2020: The End of An Era

end of era time of change

Spirit

Big Changes Are Coming

2020 is the start of your new year, and a new decade. It’s also the end of an era—an era where all the old ways are crumbling and falling away.

In 2020 you’re going to see even more upheaval and changes than you have in this past decade. The changes will be on every level: personal, individual, family, country, your entire planet.

You have nothing to be upset about, or to fear. This has been a long time in coming.Read more

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

Angry God

Forgiveness is God’s command. ~ Martin Luther

I grew up in an oppressive religious environment, as I know many of you did. I can think of stronger words. But “oppressive” will do for now.

One of my church’s most prominent teachings painted an image of God as a fierce and vengeful old white man. If you didn’t do as he said (really, what the church said he said), you were headed for hell and eternal damnation.

Sound familiar?

Spirit

Forgiveness

You have undoubtedly heard much about forgiveness, especially if you travel in spiritual circles.Read more
