Every child is born a genius. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Part of the genius of children is they know how to love themselves. And they never feel guilty about it.

Spirit

Loving yourself unconditionally is the single most important thing you can do in this lifetime.

If you cannot celebrate the miracle that is you, you will find little joy or reason in celebrating anything or anyone else. Your ability to love, appreciate, and celebrate yourself is the key to all you seek.… Read more

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, Uncategorized, videos | 20

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

Life After Death
Copyright © 2009 by Jonathan Kington

Our title is taken from a discussion on death in the movie, Tuning In. A few years ago I would have thought those words were absolute nonsense. But not any longer.

Yesterday I was reading Adventures of the Soul, a new book by James Van Praagh, the famous psychic medium.… Read more

Events are not things that happen to you. They are materialized experiences formed by you, according to your expectations and beliefs. ~ Seth

The Seth Material
Copyright © 1970 by Jane Roberts

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the death of Jane Roberts, the channel for Seth. I remember the day clearly, as my family and I were visiting my mother in New York State. Mom lived just a few miles from where Jane and her husband, Rob Butts, lived.

I was introduced to Seth by Tom, a good friend and a psychotherapist.… Read more

What I Learned from Jehovah’s Witnesses by John Cali and Spirit

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. ~ Dalai Lama

Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt
Copyright © 2005 by Steve F-E-Cameron

Two friendly young women with two cute little kids knocked on my front door a few days ago.

One of the women handed me a Jehovah’s Witnesses brochure. From past experience, I figured I was in for a long lecture right there at my front door.… Read more

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

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

Giving Thanks

Have you ever asked yourself that question? I never did—till recently. Here’s Spirit.

Spirit

Most people find it easy to be grateful for all the “good” things in their lives. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, and we highly recommend you all give thanks every day for your blessings.… Read more

What Happens When We Return To Spirit? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, videos | 21



There is no death. ~ A Course in Miracles Heaven by Giovanni di Paolo NOTE: This post is longer than we usually publish. But I trust you’ll find it useful. A few weeks ago one of our readers, Christine Disano-Davenport, sent us a letter. She had recently watched a film and read some books about life after death. Though she enjoyed them, they were disturbing to her. As she put it, “…what is bothering me now is that it (the film and books) is shaking my belief about what happens after we make our transition.”

Do You Take Life Too Seriously? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 4

True humor is fun—it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together. ~ Hugh Prather


George Carlin: “Look busy—Jesus is coming.” Image copyright © 2008 by Bonnie There’s a young lady I see often—she works at one of the local businesses where I’m a regular customer. In all the time I’ve known her, I’ve never seen her smile or say something pleasant to the customers.

When Things Go Wrong, Let the Universe Take Over by John Cali and Spirit

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

Appearances often are deceiving. ~ Aesop

This past week I had an early-morning appointment. When I went out to my car, it was completely dead—no battery power at all. The battery was brand-new. At first, I started moaning, “Why me?” But I quickly caught myself and stopped that line of thinking dead in its tracks.

Why not me? I knew there was a good reason for this unpleasant surprise. I knew it was something other than what it appeared to be.… Read more

Recapturing Simplicity by John Cali and Spirit

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Do You Know Any Emotional Vampires? by John Cali and Spirit

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

A vampire is “a person who habitually preys upon others, (for example)…debt collectors…who made a living from the misery of others.” ~ Mirriam-Webster Dictionary

Bela Lugosi as Dracula

I have a good friend who’s always been a drain on my energy—until recently. She was a true emotional vampire.

Sally (not her real name) was not a good listener. It was obvious when I was talking to her she was not hearing me. She was too busy thinking of what she wanted to say next, and would often interrupt me.… Read more

Heaven is not a place or a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect oneness. ~ A Course in Miracles

California Redwoods by Albert Bierstadt

All my life I’ve loved being out in nature—whether at the ocean, in the mountains, or just wandering through a beautiful flower garden. One of my favorite places to wander is the redwood forests of northern California.

Those majestic trees have an incredible energy. I can get lost in that energy just sitting at their roots.… Read more

Red Fox
Copyright © 2012 by Juan Lacruz

This time I would like to do a guided meditation together with you. So, if you want to go along with me this way, I ask that you find a familiar place, close your eyes and sit down comfortably. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Disconnect the ambient sounds and go along with me back to a time, a number of centuries ago, in a place that is today the United States of America.… Read more

What Are Miracles? by John Cali and Spirit

The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. ~ A Course in Miracles

Image by John Cali

One night about 35 years ago I was leaving my office in Arlington, Virginia. As I approached my car in the parking lot it was getting dark and no one else was around. Then I realized I’d locked my keys in the car that morning.

I searched the entire parking lot, hoping to find something I could use to pry open the car door lock.… Read more

It Will Get Better by John Cali and Spirit

We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities. ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Have you ever felt stuck, struggling to make it from one day to the next—or even one moment to the next?

My spirit guides and I talk to lots of folks who live that way. I have the greatest compassion for them, especially since I felt horribly stuck for much of my younger life.

Here are some words from Spirit.… Read more

Chasing Happiness 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, self-help, spirituality, videos | 10

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you’ll never find it. ~ C. P. Snow

Happy Cat, by Loliloli

Happiness is an elusive pipe dream for so many. But that is completely the opposite of our natural state—which is happiness, peace, love, joy in every aspect of our earthly lives.

We were born happy. Did you ever see a depressed or unhappy baby or young child? These young ones still remember where they came from and who they are.… Read more

11 Easy Ways You Can Learn To Love Your Body by John Cali and Spirit

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

Self-love is not opposed to the love of other people. You cannot really love yourself and do yourself a favor without doing people a favor, and vise versa. ~ Dr. Karl A. Menninger

Do you love your body, just as it is right here, right now? Many do not. So how can we change that?

I asked Spirit that question, and here’s what they told me.

Spirit

Would you talk or think about someone you love the way you talk and think about your body?

Quiet Waters: The Ultimate Release by Hans Brockhuis

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. ~ Leonardo da Vinci

Soul Carried To Heaven
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905)

One of the few certainties in life is that for all of us the day will come that we are going to leave earth. That very day we will have lived our life. Perhaps as a series of events that have gone by. But maybe you have tried to denote every major incident, to do something with it, and then went on with the feeling you have really learned something.… Read more

How Do You Respond To Constant Complainers? by John Cali and Spirit

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, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 20

Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. ~ Og Mandino

Most of us know at least one someone who is constantly complaining. Maybe that someone is you. I was like that when I was younger. And I still catch myself at it now and then. But the difference now is I almost immediately see what I’m doing—and stop it.

This past week I’ve been thinking a lot about this subject.… Read more

Dare To Be True To Yourself by John Cali and Spirit

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

”Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.” ~ Richard Bach

“This above all: to thine own self be true….” ~ William Shakespeare

A couple weeks ago one of my closest childhood friends died. We hadn’t been in touch in recent years, but were in constant touch when we were school kids.

I’ve always thought of myself as a maverick.… Read more

We Are One: Sequel by John Cali and Spirit

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

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. ~ Anna Sewell

A couple weeks ago we published a post, We Are One, where we talked about global oneness, the unity of the human race. But we humans are not the only ones living on this planet. That’s an obvious fact. But when we talk about oneness we don’t always include all the other life or all that is.… Read more

Dogs Are Our Link To Paradise by John Cali and Spirit

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

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. ~ Milan Kundera

Our good friend of many years, Dan Beck, sent us the following letter a few days ago. He’s given me permission to publish it here.

Hi John,

Just had a sudden death of one of our pets.… Read more

There Is No Such Thing As An Incurable Illness by John Cali and Spirit

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

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. ~ Hippocrates

We recently received a letter from a good friend who’s been dealing with chronic pain and illness for years. I know there are people reading this who’ve had the same challenge.

So I offered to publish my friend’s letter in our blog with the hope those of you in similar situations will share with her your experiences, and how you’ve coped with it all.… Read more

Channelling, Imagination, and Trust by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 14

“Everything you can imagine is real.” ~ Pablo Picasso

In my work people often ask my spirit guides or me how they can learn to channel. While we don’t teach channelling, I am always glad to share with folks my experiences in learning to channel, and in now actually doing it as my only work.

So I’d like to share with you today how it all started for me. If you’re interested in channelling I hope my experiences will give you the incentive to just go ahead and do it.… Read more

The Healing Power of Animals by John Cali and Spirit

My good friend, Ann Miller publishes The Star Beacon, a popular bimonthly newsletter about UFOs and other related information. In her April issue Ann published an article, “The Deeper Spiritual Purpose of Pets” by Robert Schwartz. Robert is the author of the popular books, Your Soul’s Plan and Your Soul’s Gift.

In his article Robert talks about the healing power of animals. Most of us who’ve lived with a dog or cat, or any pet, have probably had some experience with this.… Read more

How Long Do You Want To Live and How Do You Want To Die? by John Cali and Spirit

Deathbed of George Washington
Image by Junius Brutus Stearns

I recently read an article about the death of a 21-month-old baby girl in Texas. She’d fallen into her family’s swimming pool, was revived and rushed to the hospital.

The doctors, after many weeks of various medical procedures, decided she could not survive. She’d gone without oxygen too long, and her organs had shut down. Yet she was still alive.

Her parents begged the “authorities” to end her suffering. They refused. The family decided to remove her feeding tube because, in Texas, that was their only legal alternative.… Read more
