Many spiritual teachers and spirit guides, including my own guides, talk about reincarnation—one lifetime after another, often spanning many centuries. They also talk about simultaneous time—where past, present, and future all exist in the present moment.

How do we reconcile these two seemingly contradictory concepts?

Spirit

Linear time does not exist in the realms of spirit—there is only eternal time.

Being fully in each moment will make you, as you say, “lose track of time.” Time as you know it literally expands (or contracts).… Read more

Did Your Family Give You Bad Genes? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 10

When I was growing up there was a belief among most of my family that certain illnesses were genetic. I bought into that belief for many years—until I realized it simply wasn’t true.

Our large Italian family had many folks with heart problems. Most of them, including my father, eventually died from heart disorders. Was that genetic? I don’t think so.

I had a dear cousin who was convinced he would die from a heart attack at the age of 55—the same age his father had died of a heart attack.… Read more

Nurture Yourself with a Spiritual Retreat by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 1

Church in Sicily

This past weekend, I was unexpectedly without internet access or my computer. So I had all this time on my hands with no work to do.

Every now and then my spirit guides urge me to take some time off from work to nurture myself—sort of a “spiritual retreat.” In other words, they say, turn off my computer and phone, don’t answer the doorbell, etc. Preferably get out of town and away from my usual work routine.

Last weekend I didn’t know what to do with myself.… Read more

Why Do We Need Forgiveness? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 18

Michelangelo’s The Last Judgement (Sistine Chapel)

When I was growing up in the Catholic Church, we were constantly reminded we needed forgiveness for all our sins, great and small. There was no way we were going to make it to heaven unless we constantly begged God to forgive us.

There was even a part of the Sunday Mass service where we were required to say “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you. Only say the word and I shall be healed.”… Read more

How Effective Are the Protests Against Monsanto? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 17

Mother Teresa

When asked if she’d participate in an anti-war rally, Mother Teresa said she would not. But, she said, she would participate in a peace rally.

One of our readers asked us if the protests against Monsanto are helping or hurting the efforts to remove genetically modified organisms from our food supply. Unless you’ve been meditating on a mountaintop the past few years, you know about this bitter controversy.

Here’s is the reader’s email:

Hi John,

I so enjoy reading your blog.… Read more

Where Is Your Home? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 12

When I was much younger the only place I considered home was the little farm town on the shores of Lake Erie where I grew up. When I was away from there I was always homesick.

Way back when I started this work with my spirit guides I began to get a different sense of what home really is—not just for myself, but for all of us.

Here’s Spirit.

Spirit

You miss so much joy and peace by always looking for your happiness, your “home” in every place except where you are right now.… Read more

Relationships – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

One of the most challenging and yet rewarding parts of our human lives is relationships. None of us need reminders of that—it’s all too obvious.

But what is the true purpose of relationships? In my opinion, relationships are marvelous opportunities to express who we truly are—they are always, with no exceptions, great vehicles for personal and spiritual growth.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:

All relationships have at least two different perspectives because you are all unique.

One key to successful relationships is allowing the differences without being threatened by them.

Messages from Your Spirit Guides by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 7

How can we communicate with our spirit guides? That’s a question we get asked often. It’s also the focus of a new mobile application we’ve just finished, Messages from Spirit.

Many of you have our previous application, Spirit Oracle Cards, which came out last year. It’s been very popular and we’re pleased with its success.

I think you’ll also love our new application. It contains hundreds of messages given to us by my spirit guides over the years.… Read more

Stuart Wilde: 1946—2013 by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, spirituality | 10

One of my all-time favorite spiritual teachers is Stuart Wilde. Stuart died May 1, three weeks ago yesterday. He became a legend in his own lifetime.

So I wanted to publish this short post as a tribute to a man who gave so much of himself and his wisdom to the world. He will not be soon forgotten.

This first video is Stuart talking about silent power.

This next video is a tribute to Stuart called Stuart Wilde: A Remarkable Life.… Read more

What’s Wrong with Me? by John Cali

An old friend (she’s not old, but we’ve been friends many years) wrote me an email recently. With her permission, here it is:

Hi John,

It’s been a while, I know, hope this email finds you well. Am still enjoying your newsletters and blogs muchly…

There is something I’ve pondered for a while now regarding Law Of Attraction, whenever you have the time I would really appreciate your insight. Feeling major failure here….been on this path for quite a few years and still not manifesting my “deepest desires”….… Read more

The Only Thing That Matters Is Love by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 14

Here are a few of the most common questions we get in personal readings:

I want to work for myself, but how can I do it?

How can I find work I love to do?

How can I live my dreams?

How can I do what I love and still make money?

It’s obvious the old ways, the old energy no longer satisfy many folks wanting to grow spiritually—and wanting to find work that satisfies them and supports them financially.… Read more

You Can Grow Older Gracefully and Still Have Fun Along the Way by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 11

We live in a society today obsessed with youth and physical beauty. And, in my opinion, a society with too little regard for the wisdom and experience of older folks.

Society considers growing older a curse none of us can escape—unless we die young. We’re driven desperately to find something—anything—that will keep us young. The list is virtually endless—plastic surgery, injections, drugs, etc.

It never occurs to most of us that growing older can actually be fun. It doesn’t have to be a drag.… Read more

Does It Matter What Other People Say or Think About You? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 16

Image Credits

On the internet I occasionally see harshly critical opinions of me and my work with Spirit. I still sometimes get hate mail.

Years ago that sort of thing bothered me—a lot. Today I’ve learned it doesn’t matter what people say or think about me. That’s a very freeing feeling.

All that matters, for all of us, is that we follow the path that is right and good for us.

When you do that—another lesson I’ve learned over the years—you will touch more lives, and more powerfully, than if you took the path of caution, dreading what someone may say or think of you.… Read more

How Can Anyone Be Happy In This Confusing, Chaotic World? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 4

Many of us measure happiness by external criteria—how much money we have, what kind of house we live in, how many friends we have, etc. But those things can, and will, change. Then we’re unhappy.

The money, the house, the friends—those are the “reasons” we use to be happy. But they are never the cause of our happiness. So what is the real cause of happiness?

US President Abraham Lincoln said “A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.”… Read more

What Does It Feel Like To Channel Spirit? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, spirituality | 16

People often ask me, particularly when we do private readings, what it feels like to channel Spirit.

Good question.

I had never given the question much thought till recently when, for whatever reason, more folks have been asking it.

People have told me, over the years, when I’m channelling Spirit’s energy is very different from my energy. They’ve also said my voice changes. It must be only a slight change, for I’ve never been able to hear any difference.

But I do feel the dramatic shift in the energy when I channel.… Read more

The Fear of Death: Sequel by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 13

We had some great responses to our last newsletter article, The Fear of Death.

One comment Spirit made in that article is a tough one for many folks to accept. Here’s what they said:

“Death does not exist. Let go of the fear of death, and then you will soar.”

At least several people were upset by what Spirit and I said in that article. Here are one person’s comments (unedited):

Just simply let go. Ah geez is that all I have to do?… Read more

The Fear of Death by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 24

Last week one of our family died at a relatively young age. She’d been suffering from a serious illness since she was in her 40s.

I know, as my spirit guides often say, we all die at the time and in the manner we choose. Yet when someone close dies, it’s still an adjustment for us—often a difficult one.

Adding to the difficulty is the almost universal fear of death.

Here are a few thoughts from Spirit.… Read more

It’s All Within You by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 20

Recently I was facing a difficult challenge, not knowing how to resolve it. It was nothing earth-shaking or life-threatening, but vexing nonetheless.

After thinking about it a few days it dawned on me I was looking for the solution in all the wrong places.

Here’s Spirit:

There’s a Sanskrit mantra John loves: “Aham Brahmasmi.”

The English translation of the mantra goes something like this: The center of my being is the ultimate reality—the source of all that is.

Think about that for a moment.… Read more

Does Your Sexual Preference Really Matter? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, spirituality | 16

As most of you probably know, whether you live in the United States or not, gay marriage is currently a hotly divisive topic among Americans. Underlying that, of course, is the whole issue of homosexuality. For most of the United States’ history homosexuality was illegal.

Today we’re seeing more and more gay folks, including politicians and other public and private figures, “coming out of the closet” and admitting their sexual preferences.

In my personal opinion, this is a good thing. I have gay friends and family, and I love them as much as my “straight” family and friends.… Read more

We Are All One by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, spirituality | 22

Many spiritual teachers, including my own spirit guides, have said we are all one. But what does that really mean?

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:

You all decided, before you came to this lifetime, that you wanted to connect again, in the physical, with your soul family.

You wanted this lifetime to be fun and joyful—but you also wanted to expand your awareness of your connectedness to all that is.

We define God as all that is. You are connected to God.

What Is Life All About? by John Cali

I’m away from home all this week—so we’re doing an abbreviated newsletter.

The question I’ve used as our title is one of those “eternal” questions. Questions you’ve probably asked yourself many times, as I certainly have.

In the video below we hear some pretty good answers to those eternal questions—and from a source that might surprise you. Enjoy!

Are You Taking On Other People’s Stuff? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 20

Lately many of my lessons (or reminders) are coming from my dreams, particularly the vivid ones. Last night I had yet another vivid dream.

In the dream there was a large gathering at my house, including friends and family from my past and present. They were noisy and argumentative, talking almost nonstop about all their complaints and problems. It was utter chaos.

I was not involved in any of the conversations—I was just a passive observer. But I was feeling all the negative energy and turmoil.… Read more

You Never Lose Those You Love by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 6

I’ve taken that title from words my spirit guides have been using for years—usually when they’re talking to someone about the death of a loved one.

Here are some of their thoughts.

Spirit

Death is not the end of you. It is only a new beginning.

Death is not the end of love. It is the beginning of renewed love.

Death is not serious. Life is not serious.

Life, whether you are “dead” or “alive,” is supposed to be fun.

Dying is the easiest thing you will ever do, as you’ve had lots of practice through countless lifetimes.

How to Know When To Get the Hell Out of There by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 22

Last week I had a long, vivid dream. When I finally awakened from it I was drenched in sweat, and feeling emotionally drained.

The details are not important, but in the dream I was in a dangerous situation where I felt vulnerable and threatened—and stuck.

Then it dawned on me I was not stuck there—I was free to end the dream. So I decided to just get the hell out of there. I woke up immediately.

I knew such an emotionally charged dream must carry an important message for me.… Read more

We’re All God’s Children by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, spirituality | 5

That title is taken from something an American politician recently said. It’s not something you’d expect a politician to say.

As most folks all over the world know, the United States government has become a hotbed of divisiveness, partisanship, and prejudice. Politics and government have become major sources of frustration for Americans.

The American people often see their politicians as dishonest, self-serving puppets. I have no political convictions nor much interest in politics. But I am heartened by the occasional breath of fresh air.… Read more
