God, The World, and You

posted in: Blog, channeling | 0

One of our favorite spiritual teachers is the Franciscan priest, Richard Rohr. In one of Father Richard’s recent messages, he said:

“When you can see Christ in all things (including yourself!), you will see and live differently. I’ve spent my life trying to remind people of their inherent belovedness, and I pray that our work at the Center for Action and Contemplation has played a role in helping you to see, feel, and experience the hope of your own chosenness in God.Read more

Return To Love

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

Creativity and the Coronavirus

You might be wondering what creativity and the coronavirus have to do with each other. Here are some ideas for you to consider.

Berna

The past few weeks, people have been experiencing much difficulty, fear, and pain. However, the situation around the virus has brought many good things on all levels and aspects of society. To mention a few:

  • Cleaner environment
  • No traffic jams and fewer car accidents
  • Parents are giving more attention to their children’s education
  • Family issues are coming to the surface
  • Deepened contact between parents and children
  • More than usual, elderly people talking on the phone with others
  • Beautiful initiatives to support people in need, and healthcare providers

There are also creative ways, often combined with humor, being invented for spending time at home, and for preventing further downfall of businesses.Read more

Victory Over Death

victory-over-death

(Death) is a condition that we have brought upon ourselves so that we may pass into a greater condition with greater possibilities. ~ Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

Our title today, Victory Over Death, may sound ridiculous to some folks. After all, isn’t death the ultimate victor, the winner in this game of life? Don’t all things end in death?

And, as A Course in Miracles says, “Where there is death, peace is impossible.”Read more

The Agony of Anxiety and Depression

Just walk slowly in the time after the sun sets and before night descends. Feel the breeze, smell the flowers, hear the trees’ leaves rustle and the birds sing. Watch the stars begin to emerge. ~ Dan Rather, journalist

Peace at Sunset in Tuscany, Italy

Journalist Dan Rather knows a thing or two about finding peace in the present moment, despite a long career spent in anything but peaceful circumstances. Listen to what he says here:

One of my favorite things long has been taking a leisurely stroll with wife Jean at twilight time.Read more

The Power of Silence

Silence is an empty space. Space is the home of the awakened mind. ~ Buddha

glider-silence

Many years ago, when I was a new commercial pilot, part of our flight training had been, odd as it sounds, practicing silence. Well, silence was not the purpose of the practice, just a side benefit.

My flight school was in the Rocky Mountains northwest of Denver, Colorado. Our training included, as you’d expect, learning to handle emergencies, one of which was losing engine power. In which case, your plane turned into a glider.Read more

The Truth about Enlightenment Is You Do Not Need It

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

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

The Ebb and Flow of Relationships

posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 6

You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity. ~ J.K. Rowling

relationships

When I was much younger, I naively thought relationships were always supposed to be only love and light. Did I ever get that wrong!

Spirit

Today we shall discuss a subject of great interest to many of you. And one which creates great challenges for most of you.

There is little question human relationships are a source of deep fulfillment and joy, and yet also of many opportunities for learning.Read more

Are We Coming To the End of the World? by John Cali and Spirit

I received the following letter from one of our readers. With her permission, I’m including it here. Following her letter is our response.

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

Do you believe we are in the times or at least within 30-40 years of the Antichrist? Or do you think that Revelations was made up to put fear in people and so now it’s being followed?

I’m a Pisces and the energy is very weird since the new year began.Read more

Dark Energy and Life’s Other Challenges by John Cali and Spirit

A few days ago I spent several long hours in the hospital. Not because there was anything wrong with me. I just had go for a yearly eye exam, and my doctor’s office is in a hospital.

I had to wait for the results of the various eye tests they did. (Everything was fine.) While I was waiting I could not help but overhear the other folks also waiting there. Virtually all of them were talking about everything that’s “wrong” with their bodies.Read more

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

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
