We’ve all heard that saying, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Well, my good friend, Dan Poynter of Para Publishing, recently demonstrated how to do just that, in a most impressive way.

Last summer Dan was diagnosed with Chromosome Trisomy 19, a rare and potentially life-threatening blood disorder. His doctor decided he needed a stem cell transplant. Although this disorder is not cancer, its treatment is similar to certain cancer treatments.

Now Dan is a very busy guy, as you can see from his website.… Read more

A few days ago I spent several long hours in the hospital. Not because there was anything wrong with me. I just had go for a yearly eye exam, and my doctor’s office is in a hospital.

I had to wait for the results of the various eye tests they did. (Everything was fine.) While I was waiting I could not help but overhear the other folks also waiting there. Virtually all of them were talking about everything that’s “wrong” with their bodies.… Read more

11 Reasons You Don’t Love Yourself and What You Can Do About It by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 16

What do you see when you look at yourself in a mirror? What do you feel?

For many years I did not like the guy I saw in the mirror every morning. He was never good enough. Sound familiar?

I’m convinced virtually every problem we have is rooted in a lack of self-love. And we humans are ingenious at inventing reasons why we cannot love ourselves. You’re probably familiar with the long litany. For example:

I’m too fat.

I’m too skinny.

Golden Gate in the Heavens by Hans Brockhuis

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 4

Just moments ago it was raining heavily. The heavens still looked a bit grey, were full of ozone though, and smelled fresh, elated and loaded with expectation.

Askew above me an oval shining golden spot in the veil of clouds attracted my eye. To my surprise and with an elegant swing I unexpectedly rose up from the earth and seemed to travel in the direction of the golden gate in the heavens.

An unseen force took me and I wondered what to expect.… Read more

Seth and Jane Roberts
Copyright © Seth Learning Center

I’ve been a fan of Jane Roberts, her husband Rob Butts, their Seth books—and Seth himself—over half my life. I count Jane and Seth among my most important spiritual teachers.

Some of you probably know who Tam Mossman is. Tam and I became friends many years ago. That was around the time he was the Prentice-Hall Publishing Company’s editor for Jane Roberts’ Seth books. He continued in that role many years.

The other day I received the following email from Tam.… Read more

Life, Depression, and Happiness by John Cali

Happy Child, by Steve Hillebrand, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

In our last post, After You Read This You’ll Never Need To Make Another New Year Resolution Again, I mentioned I no longer regularly make new year resolutions—though I did make one for 2014. You can read the post for more details.

And in 2013 I made another resolution, though not at the new year. Let me explain.

Many of the folks I work with, and also some of those among my family and friends suffer from depression.… Read more

After You Read This You’ll Never Need To Make Another New Year Resolution Again by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 15

I pretty much gave up making new year resolutions years ago. But I’m making an exception for 2014. This year I’m resolving, simply, to love myself as I’ve never loved me before.

Here are some of my Spirit’s and my random thoughts on how we can all do just that.

The past is over. The future does not exist. Be here now—it’s all you have.

The only reason to look back at the past is to help you appreciate how far you have come.

Do You Struggle With the Holidays? 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, videos | 10

George C. Scott as Scrooge by Bob Doucette

David O. Selznick, the legendary Hollywood filmmaker, once said “I’m so depressed. Christmas is the worst of all. Holidays are terrible, worse than Sundays. I get melancholia.”

Some of my family and friends struggle with the holidays, particularly the winter holidays. (Or summer, if you’re in the southern hemisphere.) Like Scrooge and Selznick, they dread to see them coming each year—whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, etc. etc.

Aren’t we missing the whole point of the holiday season?… Read more

Transformation vs. Transmutation by Essence Ka tha’ras

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality, Uncategorized | 9

Image Source

It may seem a small difference between Transforming self and Transmuting self, but the truth is there is a vast difference between these two acts.

Transformation is to alter or change yourself in a manner that in comparison to Transmuting yourself is only surface deep. In transforming yourself there is a change in appearance, a revolution and alteration of thoughts, emotions, deeds and actions, and often these changes are large and dramatic as seen by self and others.… Read more

The Certainty of Uncertainty by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 6

Did you ever wish you could know what the future holds? I sure did—I spent most of my younger years planning every detail of my life, present and future. How deeply I yearned for certainty, for that sure knowing everything would turn out exactly as I wanted.

Talk about an exercise in futility! I finally learned to embrace not knowing what the future held—to embrace the certainty of uncertainty.

All we have is the present moment. That much we can know with certainty.… Read more

Nelson Mandela 1918-2013 by John Cali

One of my all-time greatest heroes is Nelson Mandela. He showed us the impossible is possible if we never give up.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this great man:

It always seems impossible until its done.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

The Qualities of a Saint by Jane Ritson

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

After the devastation of the hurricane named after St Jude I decided to do a little research on what qualities make a saint.

Initially it was a term of greeting for those in Jesus’ inner circle, otherwise known as his disciples. After this it was used for people who suffered through following their faith. Saint-hood is associated with those who devote their life to their beliefs, often entering a monastery or religious order. Some lived alone, away from the pressures of society. … Read more

Thanksgiving_table Image by Chef Sean Christopher

In the USA we celebrate Thanksgiving Day the 4^th Thursday of every November. I’ve always loved Thanksgiving, and all the holidays. But when I was younger I thought of Thanksgiving mostly as a yearly excuse for overindulging in food, drink, and parties.

It wasn’t until I was much older that I began to understand and appreciate the true meaning of the day. Its name says it all—thanks-giving.

Now, at this time of my life, I make every day Thanksgiving.… Read more

Are You a Student or a Teacher? by John Cali and Spirit

Many years ago one of the first spiritual books I ever read was Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach, the legendary pilot and author.

In that book is one of my favorite quotations: “We teach best what we most need to learn.”

When I read that I had to stop and think about it. After all, I’d been a teacher for years. But I’d never thought of myself as a teacher and a student.… Read more

Thirteen Mountaintops by Hans Brockhuis

Sailing among the humid eastern winds I am soaring through the skies, looking proudly and calmly down upon the green valley where I am able to recognize the fields and the pastures. Higher up are the woods, the rocks, the cliffs and the many mountain streams who seek their way down towards a broad and calm receiving sea. Above all I am aware of the embracing shield of 13 mighty snow-capped mountaintops. In their full majestic splendor, with their snowy flanks, they are rising up, high into the clear blue skies, their roots anchored deep within Mother Earth.… Read more

Information About “Twin Flames” by Essence Ka tha’ras

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 6

We are speaking of “Reality” as it exists from the 7^th Dimension here.)

There is so much information, ancient and current, about the concept of Twin Flames and how to find them, what they are, etc.

I want to share what the Q4 have shared with me about this concept of “Twin Flames” and finding that one special person in physical form we believe is the other half of the whole we perceive our self to be.

By sharing this information I am in no way implying that what is the current accepted truth of a “Twin Flame” is not Truth.… Read more

A Model for Global Oneness? by Ian Barnfield

Yes. Yes, I believe we are getting closer to global oneness, and accelerating. Not that it’s necessarily going to be a smooth ride for everyone – there are those who are in great resistance to this idea, and they’re likely to make things pretty rough for themselves and those around them, but that needn’t be you.

You can surround yourself with like-minded people who are heading the same way – towards peace, harmony, joy and ease. And if those people aren’t around you physically yet then there’s the internet.… Read more

There Are No Strangers by John Cali and Spirit

Tenzin_Gyatso, The Dalai Lama

I’ve spoken before about Spirit using my challenges as “raw material” for their messages. Although this one particularly unpleasant challenge happened many years ago, I still vividly remember it.

One Saturday afternoon I locked myself out of my house. So I pried open a window and got in that way. The next-door neighbor saw me and called the police.

Several minutes later two police cars pulled up at my house—I had to prove to them I lived in the house.… Read more

When You Love Yourself Your Problems Are Solved 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 | 12

My spirit guides often talk about love, including self-love. They say animals are among our best teachers in learning to love, especially to love ourselves. All love starts with ourselves. In today’s world we seeing an epidemic of self-hatred—the source of virtually all this planet’s woes.

As Louise Hay says, “Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the keys to positive changes….When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.”

I grew up with some pretty dysfunctional people, some in my family and others among my friends.… Read more

The Dalai Lama said “Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or non-believing, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones.… Read more

Did You Know Everything You Want To Manifest Already Exists? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 16

Manifest Destinies by R. Gopakumar

Most of us, one time or another, have wondered why we could not manifest what we wanted in our lives—even when we did everything “right.” I know I sure have!

But, for most of my life, I never asked the question our title presents today. How could my desires already exist if I saw no evidence of them in my life? That’s just not possible—or so I thought. Maybe you’ve had the same experience.

You’ve probably heard or read the stories of native tribes not being able to see large European sailing ships as the crews ventured into parts of the world unknown to Europe till then.… Read more

This week’s article is adapted from a talk my spirit guides and I gave last week at Awakening Zone Radio.

********************************************

Peace be with you!

We are delighted to be here tonight in this particular connection. We trust our words will resonate with you—and perhaps give you a greater sense, and a deeper sense, of who you really are.

Often the folks we talk with give “lip service” to the idea they are God, they are divine energy. When we remind them, some will say “Yes, BUT….”—and… Read more

Just Exactly How Powerful Are You? by John Cali

Filippo Bottino, Italian Weightlifter

Most of us vastly underestimate ourselves. We’ve been literally brainwashed by our society, churches, governments, schools, etc. into believing we are powerless against the external forces of “what is.”

My spirit guides have often reminded us of how powerful we are—and of what a bunch of BS that brainwashing is. Here are some of their thoughts.

Spirit

Every one of your thoughts, words, and actions have powerful effects that radiate all around you, and ripple through the entire universe.… Read more

The Veil Between God and Humans by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

Divine Light by Andrew Kudrin

One of our readers recently asked me this question:

“In all the work that you do with Spirit, are you aware of a sense of the consciousness, itself, being the veil between God and man?”

Here’s my reply:

“My own personal experience is that consciousness itself is the link, the common ground between God and us. After all, we are God.

“The only difference between God and us, or between spirit guides and us, is that we have temporary human bodies.… Read more

One of my favorite Dalai Lama quotes is “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

And another: “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”

One of our recent newsletter articles was Always Speak Your Truth Fearlessly. Some folks, including me in earlier years, take that to mean speak your truth aggressively with no regard or consideration for others. That, as I see in hindsight, is a very bad policy.… Read more
