Exactly What Is Intuition? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 19

Alan Alda, one of my favorite actors, once said “At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.”

One of our readers had an interesting response to our recent blog post, Do You Trust Your Intuition? Here’s his email, which I’ve slightly edited:

Like in your example,a car did go through a red light and I ran into it last December, totaling my car.… Read more

Do You Resist Change? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 0

As I’ve been moving through the latest changes in our work (and my personal life) I was reminded of an article we wrote 3 years ago. Appropriately titled Change, it talks about that inescapable fact of life – change. Inescapable, yes – so why do we resist it so much?

Listen to Spirit’s wise words here.

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

What is your relationship with change? Do you resist it, or embrace it? Please share with us below.

Is This the Age of Too Much Information? by John Cali

Free Range Eggs

Did you know eggs can kill you? The other day I saw a short news video about a new study. It concluded egg yolks are almost as dangerous to your health as smoking. That surprised the hell out of me!

The two newscasters cited other, conflicting, studies, some of which concluded eggs were perfectly safe. In moderation, of course.

Those of you who follow food and nutrition news know this controversy has been raging for years.

So what are ordinary folks like you and me supposed to do?… Read more

Do You Trust Your Intuition? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 8

Albert Einstein once said “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

A few weeks ago I was house-sitting for my brother and sister-in-law while they were traveling. I was busily working at my computer one day when I got a sudden urge to go to the front door.

I opened the door and my nephew was standing there – he hadn’t even had a chance to ring the doorbell.… Read more

How To Be Happy by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 6

The Best Thing To Wear Is a Smile

The past few weeks we’ve been updating our computer systems and website (again!). Since I’m basically a one-person operation, it’s taking much of my time and energy.

So this week we’re revisiting a newsletter article we published a while back, on the subject of happiness. That topic generates seemingly endless conversation.

My spirit guides have always said happiness is a choice we can freely make. Not everyone agrees with that, as you’ll see in this newsletter article.… Read more

You Are Perfect by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 2

Do you believe you are perfect, just as you are right here, right now?

Our last blog post, Learning To Love Yourself, received some great comments from our readers – comments posted on our website and emailed to me personally. The video in that post featured Benjamin Smythe. He’s quite an amazing guy.

Here’s another video, You Are Perfect, in which an Austrian journalist interviews Benjamin. While I don’t agree with all he says, it’s fascinating and thought-provoking.

Do you believe you are perfect?… Read more

An End To War by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, 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 | 5

Flag of Peace

How many of us have asked “Will there ever be an end to war?” I have many times, and you probably have too. I know the ultimate answer is “Yes.” But will we see it in our lifetimes?

Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier from World War 1, died a few years ago, on July 25, 2009. He was 111 years old.

Harry once said “War is organised murder, and nothing else.”

Here’s Spirit.

You often talk about peace on earth, and have for centuries.… Read more

Talking To Animals: Followup by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 18

I thought we’d follow up our last blog post, Talking To Animals, with some of Spirit’s thoughts on animals, specifically domestic household pets.

Spirit

Pets are not in your lives solely for your entertainment, though they certainly do entertain you. More importantly, pets are here as your teachers and, often, your healers.

You have a phrase bandied about much – “dumb” animals. By “dumb” you generally mean “stupid.” Or at least something less than human intelligence.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.… Read more

Talking To Animals by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

One of our readers sent us this question (which I’ve edited slightly):

Hello John,

I have been reading your posts on animals that grieve. Our house is been very active with pets for many years. In January, my daughter passed away, leaving her 3 pets for us to love. Not knowing much about the details of each one, we all took on new roles as caregivers.

My youngest son, who has Asperger’s (syndrome), adopted her dog, Twix. Twix is about 13 years old.… Read more

Playing at Growing Older by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 11

Most of the folks I know, especially in my age group, dread growing older. And for many, when they reach a certain point, the process truly is dreadful.

But that is not the way it has to be. Nor, do I believe, is it the way it’s supposed to be.

Here’s a magnificent man who proves growing older can be joyful and fun.

And here’s Spirit

As we’ve said many times over the years, life is supposed to be fun.… Read more

The End of Life 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 | 21

Last weekend around the dinner table, I was talking to some of my family about death. Not a subject most people want to sit around casually discussing at dinner. But death comes to us all, and we all think about it, at least now and then. Not necessarily in a somber, macabre way, but in simply acknowledging death is part of life.

Many years ago, I read the book Final Exit by Derek Humphry. As the book’s subtitle says, it’s about “the practicalities of self-deliverance and assisted suicide for the dying.”… Read more

Politics and Love by John Cali

Last week, as most of you know, we had some technical problems with our mailing list. The result was the link to our blog post, The Politics of Tragedy, wrongly redirected you to an earlier post titled Love.

Briefly, The Politics of Tragedy talked about how US President Obama and Mitt Romney, his opponent in the upcoming presidential election, temporarily put aside their bitter, personal, negative attacks on each other in the wake of the mass murders in Aurora, Colorado.… Read more

Spirit Oracle Cards by John Cali

As you may know, we published our first Spirit oracle cards recently. They’re now available here:

So far the responses have been delightfully positive. Here’s an example:

“Brilliant Product That Connects Us To Spirit In a More Tangible Way!

“The messages are BEAUTIFULLY written. They’re truly oracles. The art work is also very impressive. It’s stunning the cards really answer a question I have in mind every time I withdraw one of them. Every time this happens my heart beats faster in total amazement.… Read more

The Politics of Tragedy by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 7

Just yesterday we published a blog post, Politics As Usual. Here’s part of what I said in that post:

“I don’t pay much attention to politics and political news because it’s often so negative and adversarial. You know, politics as usual. This is especially true of my country, the United States. And it’s probably true of other countries.”

As many of you know, the current US presidential campaign has turned into a nasty, negative, and hostile thing. But today that changed, at least for the moment — because of the human tragedy unfolding in Aurora, Colorado, where many dozens were killed or wounded in a seemingly senseless act of violence.… Read more

Politics As Usual by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 9

I know this isn’t exactly a “spiritual” subject. But, on the other hand, everything is spiritual.

I don’t pay much attention to politics and political news because it’s often so negative and adversarial. You know, politics as usual. This is especially true of my country, the United States. And it’s probably true of other countries.

I do not belong to any political party, nor do I have any political convictions. So I’m impressed when I see a US politician willing to go up against his own party in the name of decency and fairness.… Read more

Perspective Is Everything by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 11

The comments we got in response to our last blog post, Hell on Earth, turned into a lively discussion on perspective. I found it curious to read all the various perspectives on perspective.

As we all know, our personal perspective can influence our lives positively or negatively.

Here’s a magnificent real-life example of how our perspective can powerfully and positively influence our lives. This one will probably bring tears to your eyes.

Over the years my spirit guides have talked many times about how perspective — the way we choose to view our lives, no matter how “good” or “bad” those lives may be — can either sink us or help us swim.… Read more

Hell on Earth by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 19

Death Valley

A couple months ago an old childhood friend died. I don’t know all the circumstances, as he and I had lost touch with each other some years ago. But I did see his sister not long before his death. She said he was well and happy. He’d been a marathon runner for many years.

Was there any connection between his marathon running and his death? I don’t know. Some medical experts say marathon running can actually damage the human heart, rather than making it stronger.… Read more

Spirit’s Friday Frolics — A Parting Shot by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 12

As you know by now, we’ve discontinued our Spirit’s Friday Frolics because of an apparent lack of interest. However, we decided to do what you might call a “parting shot” — a last funny video sent to me by a dear friend. Thank you, Eoin!

I find it rather interesting we should be publishing this blog post about laughter on Friday the 13th — which, for superstitious people, is a day of “bad luck.”

As one of the folks commenting on the video said, “Laughter is a good medication for worries, sadness and depression….Laughter… Read more

Animal Angels by John Cali

Animal Angels

As one of our readers pointed out in a recent blog post, we often talk about animals in our articles and posts. One of the reasons is I love all animals, as do my spirit guides.

I’m away from home until next week. So we’re repeating one of our animal articles from half a dozen years ago. It’s a touching story that happened to me personally. It demonstrates we never lose those we love, even beyond the veil of death.… Read more

Joy Is What Life Is All About by John Cali

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

This is probably the shortest blog post we’ve ever published.

My spirit guides have said our only real measure of success is the amount of joy we feel as we travel life’s road.

Music has the power to bring so much joy into our lives, and to unite us with one another — to help us remember we are all one. En-JOY this video.

Do Animals Grieve? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

Angel of Grief

One of our readers recently asked if animals grieve at the death of their companions. Here’s her letter, followed by my reply.

Dear John,

You regularly write blogs which are about animals, especially pets. Just a few days ago I read one about the attitude of animals towards death. This made me wonder about something related to that.

How do animals feel about another animal dying?

My daughter has had two small rats as pets for a couple of years.… Read more

This isn’t exactly a comedy video. But it is funny. I think you’ll find it uplifting and inspiring, as I did.

The Dog Who Wasn’t There by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 12

Photo licensed under Creative Commons Attribution generic license

In our last newsletter article, Materializing, Dematerializing, and Other Illusions, we talked about how physical objects can seemingly appear and disappear with no logical explanation. Today we’re continuing that topic, but with a strange, eerie twist.

One cold late February night 20 years ago, my mother-in-law died at home. My wife, her sister, and our dog Schnapsi, were with her the moment she died. I was at home a short distance away, and when my wife called I immediately went over.… Read more

Materializing, Dematerializing, and Other Illusions by John Cali

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

I’ve always been fascinated by this subject. But I didn’t really believe it was possible. That is, until I saw it happen right before my eyes.

One day many years ago I was leaving my office to go home. I went to my car, reached in my pocket for my car key. It wasn’t there. I looked in the driver’s side window, and there was my key, still in the ignition. Since I locked all the doors, I had a problem.… Read more

Spirit’s Friday Frolics for June 29, 2012 by John Cali

This is our second edition of Spirit’s Friday Frolics, a weekly blog post published every Friday.

As we all know, laughing and having fun are good for us. Spirit has talked about this many times. Here are a few snippets:

Laughing is one of the most powerful ways to feel good, and to heal. Best of all, it’s freely available to you at any moment you choose. Make your life a laughing matter. Then you will soar.

Your life is supposed to be fun.… Read more
