…if there is any principle of the (United States) 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. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice

My answer to the question our title asks is, “Definitely, yes!” Here’s Spirit.

The Incredible Power of Love

posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 6

God, being Love, is also happiness. Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it. Nor can it be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. ~ A Course in Miracles

The other day I was reading The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking by James Twyman. I was particularly struck by these words:

“Give only love, no matter what the conditions might seem to be, and it will be the only thing you perceive.Read more

What Can You Expect at Death?

posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 18

Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. ~ A Course in Miracles

angel-guiding-souls-home-death

According to some studies, the two things most folks fear are public speaking and death. We can avoid public speaking, but apparently not death. Or can we avoid even that?

I’m sure you’ve seen all the stories out there about near-death experiences. Many folks who return from those experiences report they’ve totally lost their fear of death.Read more

Is Death by Suicide a Tragedy?

posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

And now, in keeping with Channel 40’s policy of always bringing you the latest in blood and guts, in living color, you’re about to see another first–an attempted suicide. ~ Christine Chubbock, television news reporter who shot and killed herself during a broadcast

According to WHO (World Health Organization), worldwide suicide rates have been increasing for the past 45 years. All age groups are affected. The primary cause is depression. Increasingly greater numbers of people are struggling with depression.Read more

Do not ask Spirit to heal the body. Ask rather that Spirit teach you the right perception of the body….A therapist doesn’t heal, he lets the healing be. ~ A Course in Miracles

This post is the third in our ongoing question-and-answer series.

Question:

I am enjoying the questions and answers. I recently read about a Hawaiian therapist. It is incredibly intriguing to me.

He states that we are all responsible for everything that we see in our world. By taking full personal responsibility and then healing the wounded places within ourselves, we can literally heal ourselves and the world.Read more

Why Do We Fail To See the Beauty All Around Us?

posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 8

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~ Confucius

 

I live in what is arguably one of the most beautiful places on the planet—in Wyoming, just outside Yellowstone National Park. It’s a land filled with vast open spaces, big blue skies, majestic snowcapped mountains. And yet some days, I fail to see the beauty all around me—usually because I’m not paying attention.

There truly is beauty all around all of us, the world over, no matter where we live.Read more

Life Is Only About Living Your Dreams and Being Yourself

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 18

To be alive and not to know yourself is to believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be yourself…? ~ A Course in Miracles

 

I think many of us postpone our dreams (and our happiness) until later. It could be when “I have the perfect partner, the bank account, the big house, etc., etc.”

That often turns into many years—or maybe never. Why? Often it’s because we are scared to death to be ourselves, to believe in ourselves.Read more

Pretend You’re Going To Live For Eternity

The soul of man is immortal and imperishable. ~ Plato

eternity is in the present moment

You may have heard of an American woman named Norma Bauerschmidt. Norma’s been in the news a lot over the past couple years. At the age of 90, she was hit with a real double-whammy. First, her husband of 67 years died. Then Norma was diagnosed with  uterine cancer.

Sitting in her doctor’s office, she listened to him go through the standard litany of her medical options: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy.Read more

Tale of the Old Farmer

A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. ~ A Course in Miracles

old-farmer-God

 

Long ago I heard the tale of an old farmer and his wife. They lived far out in the country and, once a month or so, would drive into the nearest town for food, supplies, etc.

One day as they were on their monthly trip to town, the wife looked over at her husband in the driver’s seat. “You know,” she said, “we used to sit so close to each other whenever we went to town.Read more

The Truth about Enlightenment Is You Do Not Need It

Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner. ~ Carlos Santana

buddhist-enlightenment

 

For most of the years I’ve been on a conscious spiritual path, I’ve been seeking enlightenment—just like almost everyone else I know.

But lately I’ve discovered the truth about enlightenment—we do not need it.

Spirit

We realize our title is a strange statement, perhaps startling even, for some. A logical question you might have is, “How can I NOT need enlightenment, especially given the seemingly chaotic conditions on our planet today?”Read more

There Is No Death

posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 4

There is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ~ A Course in Miracles

Several of my close family and friends have recently experienced a death among their loved ones. Also, in response to our last post, Rising Above the Clouds, several folks mentioned their concerns about death.

So my spirit guides and I thought it would be good to follow up on what we said in Rising Above the Clouds.Read more

Rising Above the Clouds

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. ~ John Muir

Many years ago I was a commercial pilot. I’ve always loved flying, and still do.

One of the things I love most about it is that exhilaration I always feel as the plane is rising above the clouds and up into the sky.Read more

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. ~ US President Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865, just before the end of the Civil War

Dreams Come True, So Dream the Good Ones

Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams, whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. ~ A Course in Miracles

dreams-come-true

 

Our world is filled with fearful dreams. We need look no farther than the news headlines to get a glimpse of all the visions of horror, all the fearful dreams being dumped on humanity.

But we do not have to buy into those dreams, into that darkness. We do not have to make ourselves victims of whatever real or imaginary villains are out there.Read more

Do You Know Where You’ll Go When You Die?

You have traveled in dreams while safe at home with Me. ~ A Course in Miracles

angel in heaven

A few weeks ago someone asked me, “Do you know where you’ll go when you die?” My answer: “Yes.”

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, and I was enjoying a few hours off from my work. The loud knock at my front door brought me abruptly out of a lazy, peaceful place.

There were two men at the door, and I knew instantly why they were there.Read more

Why Is the World So Screwed Up?

Nothing real can be threatened; nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. ~ A Course in Miracles

every day is a new adventure, a new beginning

Every Day Is an Adventure, A New Beginning

Some of the most frequent questions we get in private readings go something like this:

  • Is there something wrong with me?
  • What’s going on with my body?
  • Why am I feeling so scattered and scared?
  • Why is the world so screwed up?

Most of us, particularly if we’re spiritually conscious and aware, have probably asked ourselves those questions, or something similar.Read more

This past year or so I’ve become a serious student of A Course in Miracles. It’s had a profoundly powerful, positive effect on my life and work.

As some of you know, I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but drifted away from it as an adult. I wanted nothing more to do with traditional religion.Read more

How To Overcome Your Fear of Death by John Cali and Spirit

posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome….Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a simple teaching tool to be laid by when learning is complete, hardly changing him who learns at all. A Course in Miracles

God is all that is. We are all God.God Is All That Is

Last week someone I’ve known many years killed himself. The details are not important. But our perception of those details, and of the death itself, requires some soul-searching.

Our society assumes it is natural for us to fear death—no matter how, when, where, why it occurs.Read more

Are You Having a Crisis of Enlightenment? by John Cali and Spirit

Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. ~ A Course in Miracles

One of our friends recently sent us this note:

“I’m interested in learning more about picking up on, or taking in, other people’s energy. How does that work? How can we learn to separate heavy energy from other people versus our own heavy energy?”

Great question, and one we’ve been asked a lot since 2012.Read more

Salvation by John Cali and Spirit

posted in: Blog, spirituality | 14

My salvation comes from me and only from me. ~ A Course in Miracles

sailing-vessel-493538_640

I grew up in the Roman Catholic Church. Back in those days we were taught we could find salvation only through faithfully following Rome’s rigid rules and regulations. And if you screwed up (that is, “sinned”) your only hope of salvation was being forgiven by a priest in the confessional.

You were not worthy to approach God directly for forgiveness — or for anything else. There was a part of the Catholic Mass service, just before the communion, where we always said “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.”Read more

God Is In Everthing I See by John Cali and Spirit

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ~ Frank Lloyd Wrightgod-594709__180Our title today is taken from one of A Course In Miracles’ daily lessons.

I realize it’s hard for many of us to see that God truly is in everything we see. When I first started channelling years ago, people often asked my spirit guides who — or what — God was. I was asking that question myself.

My guides’ answer was as simple as it was profound: “God is all that is.”Read more

New Year Celebration in Rome
Copyright © 2012 by Zabbo

It’s that time of year when many folks make new year resolutions, often to abandon them only days or weeks later.

I no longer make new year resolutions. I prefer to call them intentions. When we create an intention the universe infuses it with powerful energy. That enables us to effortlessly flow toward fulfillment of the intention — as opposed to struggling to stick to a resolution.Read more
