The Loch Ness Monster

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality, Uncategorized | 2

In one of Berna’s recent question-and-answer sessions with Spirit, she asked about the famous Loch Ness monster of Scotland. That probably doesn’t seem like a very “spiritual” subject. But let’s wait and see.

Berna

Johnny is fascinated by the stories of the monster of Loch Ness in Scotland. What’s going on there? Are these just stories?

Spirit

No, they are not just stories. There is a lot going on there. The Scottish people have struggled with “Nessie” (their nickname for the creature) well over 100 years.… Read more

What Is Love?

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

Love does not discriminate. Love does not separate. Love does not attack in any way. It is a peaceful extension of All That Is….Love is always there. That benevolent force is always there….”

Those words are excerpted from Tina Spalding’s book, Jesus: My Autobiography.

Spirit

“Love” is perhaps the most abused and misused word in the English language.

When you use the word (perhaps more than you consciously realize), do you know what you’re saying?

When you tell someone “I love you,” are you fully aware of the word’s true meaning?… Read more

Ask and Receive

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, Uncategorized | 6

Many years ago when I was a young, inexperienced pilot I had a terrifying experience I’ll never forget.

It was a sunny Sunday morning in early spring. A friend of mine wanted to go for a plane ride. So we decided to fly from our home near Dunkirk, New York southwest to Youngstown, Ohio. He had family in Youngstown he wanted to visit.

On the return to Dunkirk late that afternoon, the weather turned foggy. I did not yet have an instrument rating.… Read more

The Voice Inside Your Head

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 4

There’s an interesting story about Joan of Arc when she was on trial for heresy. She claimed God spoke to her regularly. The trial judge asked her if God’s voice could be just her imagination. She replied, “Of course! How else could He speak to me?”

The story may or may not be true, but it makes an excellent point.

Spirit

Your Western society—churches, governments, other “authorities”—has thoroughly brainwashed most of you. You were never taught to rely on or trust yourselves.… Read more

You Are Miracle Workers

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 4

With the pandemic and all the other stresses of today’s world, many folks are facing more physical problems than usual.

There’s a wonderful reminder in A Course in Miracles that I really love:
“Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both.”

Spirit

That quotation above from A Course in Miracles may sound like a trip to the edge of sanity. Can you really heal the sick and raise the dead?… Read more

The Vision, Part 2

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

Last week we spoke of a vision Berna and I had about a year ago. This week, Spirit will give us their thoughts about visions—what they are and why we experience them.

Spirit

Visions, such as Johnny described last week, are far more common than most of you know. You just do not generally recognize them when they come to you.

First, let’s talk about who “you” are.

One of Johnny’s and Berna’s spiritual resources is A Course in Miracles.… Read more

Are You A Good Listener?

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

One of the major challenges of today’s world is listening. How good a listener are you?

Spirit

If you are on a conscious path of spiritual growth, you know how important it is to ask God for help when you need it. This is desirable and good. For you all depend on God (or upon whatever you perceive God to be) for everything, including your physical survival and well-being. And God is always listening.

But it also works the other way around.… Read more

The Dark Side of God

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

I’m sure our title caught your attention. Does God really have a dark side?

We’ve talked before about the legendary Brazilian spiritual healer, John of God. What you may not know is John is now serving a prison sentence of almost 20 years. At his age, that’s effectively a life sentence.

Although his healing work is being carried on now by others, John is no longer part of the work, for obvious reasons.

So how did such a talented, genuine healer come to such an end?… Read more

Release and Fly

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

John

Many years ago, my local Boy Scout troop went on trip to Philmont, the Boy Scout ranch in northeastern New Mexico. It was a fun trip, full of adventures, but often tiring for a group of teenage boys.

One of our adventures was a full-day backpacking trip into the mountains. I’ll never forget when we got back to our base camp that day, and released our backpacks. I felt so light, as if I was flying, free of all that weight.… Read more

Abundance and the Coronavirus

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

John

Many folks, perhaps including you, are suffering financially because of the coronavirus. Some have lost their jobs, their life savings, nearly all their financial support. This includes some among our friends and families.

These times are among the most challenging and heartbreaking many have experienced in this entire lifetime.

Spirit

Let’s begin with what money really is. It is not little strips of paper or metal pieces, especially so-called “precious metals.”

These things are valuable only because humans consider them valuable.… Read more

You Never Walk Alone

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

In this time of fear and isolation due to the coronavirus, many folks are feeling lost and lonely. But you never walk alone.

Spirit

Many of you often feel disconnected, disjointed if you will, in your chaotic world today. But, as we and many spiritual teachers have reminded you, you never walk alone.

God will never abandon his children. God will never abandon her/himself, for you are all part of God. You are God.

The problem many of you are facing is you do not recognize the many ways God speaks to you.… Read more

Celebrate Your Shadow

The hopeful man sees…sunshine where others see shadows and storm. ~ O.S. Marden

On a clear sunny day a few weeks ago, I was walking down the driveway to my mailbox. I was facing the rising sun. I glanced at the snow-covered ground in front of me. Seeing my shadow there, I thought nothing about it. Although it was a bit strange-looking. Then it hit me.

If I was facing the sun, my shadow should have been behind me! Not in front.… Read more

2020: The End of An Era

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 8

Spirit

Big Changes Are Coming

2020 is the start of your new year, and a new decade. It’s also the end of an era—an era where all the old ways are crumbling and falling away.

In 2020 you’re going to see even more upheaval and changes than you have in this past decade. The changes will be on every level: personal, individual, family, country, your entire planet.

You have nothing to be upset about, or to fear. This has been a long time in coming.… Read more

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

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

Angry God

Forgiveness is God’s command. ~ Martin Luther

I grew up in an oppressive religious environment, as I know many of you did. I can think of stronger words. But “oppressive” will do for now.

One of my church’s most prominent teachings painted an image of God as a fierce and vengeful old white man. If you didn’t do as he said (really, what the church said he said), you were headed for hell and eternal damnation.

Sound familiar?

Forgiveness

You have undoubtedly heard much about forgiveness, especially if you travel in spiritual circles.… Read more

Where Is God?

god light nature

God is all that is. ~ Spirit

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by our modern world with all its problems and challenges. Many are despairing and giving up hope of things ever getting better.

In all the chaos and confusion, they wonder, “Where is God?” (If they even believe in God or some universal divine power.)

This is perhaps one of Spirit’s shortest answers to a deeply profound question.

Spirit

We once defined God as all that is. Everything that exists is God.… Read more

The Breathtaking Power Within

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 6

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale

Some time ago, I watched an interview with a man who was obviously on a conscious path of spiritual growth. I don’t recall his name. But I’ve never forgotten his words.

He told about the time he was sitting in a cafeteria by himself. Suddenly, a stranger walked up to him, and stared at him for a moment.… Read more

Secret Courage: A True Story

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, compassion | 8

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

~ Herman Hesse, German poet and novelist ~

We’ve told this story before, many years ago. But it’s worth revisiting, especially in the context of today’s world, where courage, secret or not, seems so rare.

When we were kids, my brother, cousins, and I loved to roam through the forests and fields, hills and valleys of our rural home area.

Back in those long-ago days, it was perfectly safe.… Read more

You Are the Answer

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 0

Man’s ultimate destiny is to become one with the Divine Power which governs and sustains the creation and its creatures. ~ Alfred A. Montapert

I love that quotation above. Do you believe our destiny is to become one with God, with Goddess — or whatever name you prefer for that divine power which created all that is?

Spirit

You are the answer to every question, every dilemma you have ever had. You are divine, literally. But your ego and your world have done a great job of brainwashing you.… Read more

God Is A Big Illusion We Made Up

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright, American architect and writer

yosemite-national-park-sunrise

If you read our last week’s post, You and God Have An Eternal Connection, you may be puzzled by this post’s title. In fact, you may think I’ve lost my mind.

Let me explain.

Today I was at my desk wondering what we were going to write about for this week’s post. Then I remembered a close friend from long ago. She didn’t believe in God, and did her best to convince me to ditch my beliefs.… Read more

You and God Have An Eternal Connection

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers. ~ Brenda Ueland, American journalist and writer

man-spirit-god-connection

Our dear friend George Ball, of Alexandria, Virginia, suggested recently that we come up with some inspirational thoughts to remind us that we and Spirit are eternally connected. I think George’s idea is a great way to start this new year of 2018—and set the tone for the whole year, and beyond.

The following list consists of Spirit’s random thoughts, in no particular order.… Read more

What You Ought To Know about Loneliness

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

We are all so much together, but we are dying of loneliness. ~ Albert Schweitzer

darkness-despair-loneliness

You would think in this super-connected world we live in no one would feel lonely. Communication is literally instantaneous, even across thousands of miles. And yet there is an epidemic of loneliness plaguing so many people all across the globe.

One of our readers wrote me recently. With her permission, I want to share with you part of her letter:

I’ve been thinking of our last conversation with Spirit and how you told me I already know everything.… Read more

What Masks Are You Wearing?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 12

Years ago a good friend asked me, “What masks are you wearing?” A bit startled by her question, I replied, “I’m not wearing any masks.” “Yes, you are,” she said.

In the years since that day, I’ve come to realize she was absolutely right. We’re all wearing masks. We’ve become experts at disguising our true identities.

It’s even reached the point where many of us believe we ARE our masks. We’ve totally forgotten who we really are.

Spirit

We completely agree with what Johnny’s friend said to him years ago.… Read more

There Is No Difference Between You and God

The kingdom of God is within us. The whole of the Godhead is to be found within our individual being, not in holy mountains nor yet in the temple at Jerusalem, but within us. ~ Joel S. Goldsmith

god-human-oneness

Usually when I channel my spirit guides I have a specific subject I want to discuss with them. But occasionally they will simply “pop in” and start dictating to me. So I quickly grab a pen or pencil and start writing. That’s how this short post came about.… Read more

Life’s Eternal Questions #1

You are God. ~ John Cali and Spirit

the-hand-of-God

Over the years, folks have asked us many questions. I’ve recently begun to organize their questions and our answers. So we thought it would be a good idea to occasionally post those questions and answers. I hope you enjoy this first “installment.”

Question:
How do I continue living with my body when my soul has already died?

Answer:
Your soul cannot die. Your soul is your true self, your higher self, your spirit—whatever word you prefer.… Read more

Are You Living In the Shadows or In the Real World?

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

A shadow can only convince you of its reality for so long before you see it for what it really is. When it no longer moves according to the laws you know…then you will look to what is casting that shadow, and when you see this source you will release it altogether by turning on the light. ~ The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking by James F. Twyman

We’ve all experienced the shadows, the darkness of life on our planet. For many people, that has become a near-constant way of life.… Read more
