The True Meaning of Easter

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

Easter is, obviously, a major religious celebration. It marks Jesus’s resurrection from death. But the true meaning of Easter goes beyond the obvious. Here are a few random thoughts about Easter:

Easter is very important to me. It’s a second chance. ~ Reba McEntire
Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless. ~ Charles M.Crowe
The very first Easter taught us this: Life never ends and love never dies. ~ Kate McGahan
Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.

The Hidden Power of Forgiveness

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

In today’s partisan, chaotic world, we rush to judgment and are slow to forgive.

In Tina Spalding’s book, Jesus: My Autobiography, Jesus says “Judgment is the biggest crime that can be committed against yourself and against others.”

How often do we even notice when we are judging? In our opinion, not often.

Spirit

One of the human traits we in spirit find fascinating is your reluctance to forgive.

When you perceive, in your limited vision, another has harmed you, you often focus on the “harm” and not on your part in creating that harm.… Read more

Reality and Illusion

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

A few weeks ago, Berna and Spirit had a discussion about the question of what is real, and what is illusion.

Berna and Spirit

Berna
On the subject of reality and illusion, I thought I really had it clear with all the reading I have done. But recently I’m confused about it again. So what is really real in the material world we see? I know our perception forms the illusion—the idea we are separate is an illusion.

But the material world itself, like the trees and the mountains and the chairs we make, and the bicycles, the material stuff—is that all real or is it also an illusion?… Read more

Kindness and Caring

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

In today’s world it’s often tempting to believe humanity has gone to hell in a big way. But there is much kindness and caring out there that never makes it into the mainstream news.

Spirit

We realize it can be challenging for humans to believe there is much kindness and caring in your modern world.

One glance at your mainstream news media will convince you, as Johnny says, your world has gone to hell. And each morning you can see more “evidence” of that.… Read more

What Happens After You Die?

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

On May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. As the plane rolled down the runway, its left engine broke off.

The aircraft crashed less than a mile from the runway, killing all 258 passengers, 13 crew, and 2 people on the ground.

At the time I was a commercial pilot and, naturally, was riveted by this tragic event.

There was a trailer park near the crash site. Immediately after the crash, trailer park residents started reporting strange events.… Read more

Wildfires

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

Wildfires are usually highly destructive forces. This is obvious these days in the American state of California, and other parts of the American and Canadian West.

What do wildfires have to do with spirituality?

Spirit

Fire can be a very destructive force. That’s obvious in what’s going on today with the wildfires. But fire is also a cleansing and healing force.

Part of the reason these so-called natural disasters happen is to counteract or to cleanse, the effects of harmful human energies on the planet today.… Read more

Return To Love

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

My spirit guides often say nothing you do, say, or think is done in a vacuum. It all ripples out to the whole world and touches many lives, whether you’re aware of it or not.

Spirit

You have often heard us say you are all connected. It can never be otherwise.

However, you live in the illusion of separation. You see this person here, another there, and so on—all separate, even distant from you.

You chose to physically incarnate, or reincarnate, into this world of illusion many times over many 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

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

Love and Religion

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 10

Many years ago, I had a startling experience with love and religion.

Still a teenager, I’d joined the US Navy. (Military service was required in those days.) Stationed far from my New York home, I was lonely and homesick, as were my shipmates. Simon (not his real name), my closest friend on the ship, was also from New York.

We were docked in San Diego, California at the time. Simon and I took a weekend off to explore San Diego. We “accidentally” came across a hospitality house owned by a Protestant church.… 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

Easter Sunday

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

Easter Sunday new life

Tomorrow, various traditions around the world will observe Easter Sunday. What is Easter? Here’s Spirit’s perspective.

Spirit

The religious cultures many of you have experienced have misled you on the true meaning of Easter.

You were taught Jesus suffered and died an agonizing death on the cross—all to atone for your “sins.”

We realize what we’re saying here will certainly be controversial among some, perhaps even blasphemous.

But Jesus did not die for your sins. He never had any intention of doing that.… Read more

Coronavirus Cure: Love

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being | 7

coronavirus

There is no passion so contagious as that of fear. ~ Michel de Montaigne

One of our readers asked us what country the coronavirus started in. Spirit’s short answer did not address that specific question, but the broader meaning of the virus.

Spirit

Sometimes the universe will send you a seeming catastrophe in a blatant move to wake you up. (Coronavirus, for example.)

You, your world, your countries have been fighting and warring with each other for centuries. Where has that gotten you?… Read more

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

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

Feathers and Healing by John Cali and Spirit

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

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing — peace is the measure. ~ George Melton

Buddhist Healing Mandala

In our last post, Signs from Spirit, we talked about feathers and how Spirit often uses them to send us messages. There are many ways Spirit can communicate with us. Some are obvious, others more subtle.

Our dear friend Diotima Markis sent me an email after we published that last post. Diotima is a wonderfully spiritual lady, and a spiritual teacher as well.… Read more

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.

The Atheist Pulpit by Nick Bradbury

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

Note: Nick Bradbury is a software developer and technology expert. And he’s also a talented writer, as you’ll see from his thought-provoking post below.

After my wife and I moved to a new town a few years ago, we talked about joining a church in order to meet people. This wasn’t easy for us since I’m a devout atheist, and I refused to take my kids anywhere that even mentioned the idea of hell.

At some point we tried out a nearby Unitarian Universalist church, and much to my surprise we both enjoyed the experience.… Read more

The Theology of Fear by John Cali

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, spirituality | 16

The Theology of Fear is the title of a new book by Father Emmett Coyne, a Jesuit Roman Catholic priest.

Having grown up as a Roman Catholic and graduating from a Jesuit college, I’m familiar with the issues Father Coyne raises in his excellent, well-written book.

Here are some of Father Coyne’s concerns:

He’s disturbed that Jesus’ love for humans has taken a back seat to the Vatican’s desire to preserve its political power at all costs.

He rightly points out the Vatican is the only religious-political entity on the planet.

The Myth of Jesus by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, life purpose, mind body soul, spirituality | 28

Our friend, Melody Fletcher, publishes a great blog, Deliberate Receiving, all about Law of Attraction. She recently wrote a blog post, If We Create Our Own Reality, How Did Jesus Get Crucified?

An obviously thought-provoking title, especially if you grew up Christian, as I did.
Here are some thoughts on the subject — from me, my spirit guides, and Seth (the spirit guide channelled by Jane Roberts).

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

I abandoned the traditional Christian view of Jesus many years ago. As a result, my family is still wondering if he’s going to “save” me, or if I will burn in hell.… Read more
