The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

Our title today is an 1839 quotation from 19th-centruy English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton.

As you’ve probably heard, the legendary writer Salman Rushdie was brutally attacked recently as he was giving a speech.

This dreadful event happened at the famous Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York. That happens to be a short distance from my old hometown of Westfield in rural western New York State.

As our friend Seth says, “There is never any justification for violence. There is no justification for hatred.… Read more

Soul Contracts

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spiritual power | 2

If you’ve been on the spiritual path very long, you’ve probably heard of “soul contracts.” But what are they?

Spirit

There is no being in your life by accident—whether it be a human, animal, plant, other sentient being. There are no accidents, only soul contracts.

We realize this may be, as you say, a “hard pill to swallow.” But literally every aspect of your lives, from the most minute to the most monumental, is there because you have put it there.… Read more

Life, Death, and Suicide

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 4

A recent news article talked about a 51-year-old woman who was planning to kill herself last weekend. She has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. As a Roman Catholic, she knows her church condemns suicide.

ALS is a progressive neurological ailment, nearly always fatal. One of our family members died from ALS years ago. It was, as you might imagine, difficult to watch him struggle and finally die years later.

Here are some of our random thoughts and words, over the years, about life, death, suicide, and euthanasia.… Read more

Judgement After Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 4

The only way you will ever live fully in the visible world is to acknowledge the reality of the invisible world. ~ Spirit

As humans with limited vision, we often ask ourselves, “Will I face judgement after death?” Spirit’s answer, below, likely will sound harsh to some. But the message is clear.

Spirit

Many of you, including Johnny, grew up in deceptive, manipulative religious cultures. You learned to fear God, to fear Satan, to fear life, to fear death. Above all, you learned to fear judgement after death.… Read more

What Is Channeling?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 6

Years ago, when I first started communicating with Spirit, I had my own definition of channeling. It was based on all I had read and experienced up till then.

Here is how our website used to define channeling:

“Channeling is simply a bridge enabling us to communicate with spirits in the higher realms. You might prefer to think of it as accessing higher consciousness—or what some call God, Great Spirit, or All That Is.

“Channeling can take various forms such as speaking, writing, painting, dancing, singing, etc.… Read more

Now Is the Time for You To Know the Truth about the End of the World

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 22

Apocalypse: The complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. ~ Oxford Dictionary

In a recent letter, a reader wrote us, “I, for one, would love to hear what Spirit has to say about these times we are living in.”

So without further ado, here is Spirit.

Spirit

Humans have been predicting and dreading the destruction of life on earth, the end of your world, for centuries.

Guess what? The world really is ending.… Read more

The Spiritual Power of Pets

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 6

The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as “pets,” for food, in research laboratories, or any of the other uses to which we subject them. ~ Jane Goodall

What Is the One, True Religion?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 4

If you look through all the different cultures, right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity. ~ Jane Goodall

Many Spiritual Traditions and Religions, One Purpose

As a Roman Catholic student long ago, I studied theology for eight years—that is, the theology of the Roman Catholic Church. We were never taught anything about other religions—or that they were as legitimate as the Roman Catholic Church.… Read more

Beyond the Veil of Death

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 6

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. ~ J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter

Angel on the Road to Heaven

You may remember David Thomas and Matt Klinck, the filmmakers of Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America. David recently told me about Matt’s seemingly untimely death.

Two months ago, Matt was murdered in Belize, where he had a film production company. As you might expect, his death came as a huge shock to David, and to me also.… Read more

The Simplest Way to Make the Best of Other People’s Opinions

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 14

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. ~ Albert Einstein

Trusting Yourself Is Always a Good Start

I still remember the time, years ago, when I got my first “hate mail.” It almost literally knocked the breath out of me. I wondered how anyone could hate this work I do that much.

Since then, of course, I’ve gotten a lot more.… Read more

Do Opposites Really Attract? by John Cali & Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, law of attraction | 4

Your prayer causes you to focus, and the Law of Attraction causes everything in the Universe that’s in vibrational harmony with your focus to come to you. ~ Abraham-Hicks

Day and night are not opposites, only different aspects of the oneness

One of our readers sent us this letter a while back:

Hi John,

I hope all is well with you.

I would like to run a question (by) you. I trust your insights.

If Law of Attraction is working everywhere, where people and things tend to attract what is similar to them, why are humans attracted by the other sex, looking or even craving for features that are very different—even the opposite of ourselves, at least physically?… Read more

The Big Bang and Human Consciousness by John Cali and Spirit

In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded. ~ Sir Terry Pratchett, British author

The Big Bang

Last week we received a letter from one of our readers, Cinda Miller. With her permission, here’s what she wrote:

Dear John,

I wanted to run something by you and see if it has a ring of truth to it. This is a thought that occurred to me the other day and in order to make sense from a thought I have to write it down.… Read more

What Is the Purpose of Life? by Martha Magee

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 10

The purpose of life is soul growth. ~ Martha Magee

Spirit in Human Form

We have many lifetimes, an infinite amount to achieve this purpose (of soul growth). Each lifetime is a learning experience that we choose. Every aspect: our birth, what roles we will play out, karmic issues to be worked out, our parents, our country of origin, hometown, economic-social status, our bodies, our families, ethnic persuasion, beliefs, mental capacity, psychic abilities, constitutional strengths/weaknesses, soulmates, marriages, children, pets, livelihoods, lifestyles, vulnerabilities, talents, affinities, gifts, passions, challenges, addictions, persuasions, preferences, diseases, handicaps, injuries, wounds, accidents, intentions, relationships, friends, hobbies, incarcerations, triumphs, achievements, afflictions and spiritual goals, are ALL chosen by us—for purposes of soul growth.… Read more

Wayne Dyer 1940–2015 by John Cali and Spirit

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. ~ J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone

Sunrise

As I’m sure most of you know, Dr. Wayne Dyer made his transition Saturday, two days ago. I did not use the word “died,” because none of us ever die. We just change form.

I don’t have a hard time with people dying, even those close to me. And I have little or no fear of my own death. But, for some reason, the news of Wayne’s passing shook me.… Read more

Happy, Healthy, Dead by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 0

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years. ~ Bertrand Russell

Happy People

Our title today is taken from a conversation with Esther Hicks and Abraham. They were saying we can live long, healthy lives, and then die happily. Hence, “happy, healthy, dead.” I love that!

As those of you who follow Abraham know, they often say death is not serious.… Read more

Unlimited Abundance Is Yours by John Cali and Spirit

Money is just as holy as meditation, just as sacred as prayer. It is a wonderful part of God. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

Most of us, one time or another, have struggled with abundance issues, particularly money — giving it and receiving it. The struggle is magnified if we really believe the universe is unlimited, yet see no evidence of it in our lives.

I recently received a letter from a dear friend, one of our readers. She was asking about all the emails she gets (as many of us do) from well-known spiritual teachers.… Read more

Since he died Caesar has come to me quite a few times.… Read more

Do not ask Spirit to heal the body. Ask rather that Spirit teach you the right perception of the body. ~ A Course in Miracles

Two days ago I was out for a walk in the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a snarling dog hurled himself at me, taking a chunk out of my leg. As I defended myself, he bit me on the wrist. Finally I managed to chase him off. With my leg and wrist bleeding, I painfully limped back home.… Read more

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. ~ Buddha

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

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

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.”

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

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

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
