Recapturing Simplicity by John Cali and Spirit

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Shortly before I moved to Wyoming many years ago, I made a conscious choice to simplify my life. I got rid of anything I did not need.… Read more

Do You Know Any Emotional Vampires? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 7

A vampire is “a person who habitually preys upon others, (for example)…debt collectors…who made a living from the misery of others.” ~ Mirriam-Webster Dictionary

Bela Lugosi as Dracula

I have a good friend who’s always been a drain on my energy—until recently. She was a true emotional vampire.

Sally (not her real name) was not a good listener. It was obvious when I was talking to her she was not hearing me. She was too busy thinking of what she wanted to say next, and would often interrupt me.… Read more

Did You Know Yoga Is Evil and Endangers Your Soul? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality, videos | 21

If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil. ~ Baruch Spinoza

I read an article yesterday which took me totally by surprise. An Irish Catholic priest was cautioning his parishioners against yoga because, he said, it endangers their souls. Same goes for tai chi or Reiki, according to the reverend. These activities he deemed “unsavoury.”

I had to read the article a couple times before it sunk in.… Read more

Am I Doing It Right? by John Cali and Spirit

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

If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner. ~ Tallulah Bankhead

This week’s post, for a couple personal reasons, is short.

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

Have you ever wondered if you were doing something right, perhaps in a moment of self-doubt? Maybe you’re afraid to do anything for fear of making mistakes.

And so you do nothing. But isn’t that also is a mistake?

My spirit guides often say none of us has ever made a mistake.… Read more

Being at One with All That Is by John Cali and Spirit

Heaven is not a place or a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect oneness. ~ A Course in Miracles

California Redwoods by Albert Bierstadt

All my life I’ve loved being out in nature—whether at the ocean, in the mountains, or just wandering through a beautiful flower garden. One of my favorite places to wander is the redwood forests of northern California.

Those majestic trees have an incredible energy. I can get lost in that energy just sitting at their roots.… Read more

Find Beauty in the Present Moment by John Cali and Spirit

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Sunset on the Mountain
by Albert Bierstadt

I’ve been sick the past couple days, something very unusual for me. So we’re revisiting a piece we published long ago.

Spirit

Have you ever been completely captivated by a beautiful setting—maybe a golden sunset on a mountain, freshly scented air after a soft summer rain, or moonlight over the sea?

One Sunday morning John awakened just before dawn.… Read more

What Are Miracles? by John Cali and Spirit

The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. ~ A Course in Miracles

Image by John Cali

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

It Will Get Better by John Cali and Spirit

We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities. ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Have you ever felt stuck, struggling to make it from one day to the next—or even one moment to the next?

My spirit guides and I talk to lots of folks who live that way. I have the greatest compassion for them, especially since I felt horribly stuck for much of my younger life.

Here are some words from Spirit.… Read more

Chasing Happiness by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality, videos | 10

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you’ll never find it. ~ C. P. Snow

Happy Cat, by Loliloli

Happiness is an elusive pipe dream for so many. But that is completely the opposite of our natural state—which is happiness, peace, love, joy in every aspect of our earthly lives.

We were born happy. Did you ever see a depressed or unhappy baby or young child? These young ones still remember where they came from and who they are.… Read more

11 Easy Ways You Can Learn To Love Your Body by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality, videos | 7

Self-love is not opposed to the love of other people. You cannot really love yourself and do yourself a favor without doing people a favor, and vise versa. ~ Dr. Karl A. Menninger

Do you love your body, just as it is right here, right now? Many do not. So how can we change that?

I asked Spirit that question, and here’s what they told me.

Spirit

Would you talk or think about someone you love the way you talk and think about your body?

How Do You Respond To Constant Complainers? by John Cali and Spirit

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

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

Dare To Be True To Yourself by John Cali and Spirit

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

”Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.” ~ Richard Bach

“This above all: to thine own self be true….” ~ William Shakespeare

A couple weeks ago one of my closest childhood friends died. We hadn’t been in touch in recent years, but were in constant touch when we were school kids.

I’ve always thought of myself as a maverick.… Read more

We Are One: Sequel by John Cali and Spirit

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. ~ Anna Sewell

A couple weeks ago we published a post, We Are One, where we talked about global oneness, the unity of the human race. But we humans are not the only ones living on this planet. That’s an obvious fact. But when we talk about oneness we don’t always include all the other life or all that is.… Read more

Dogs Are Our Link To Paradise by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 10

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. ~ Milan Kundera

Our good friend of many years, Dan Beck, sent us the following letter a few days ago. He’s given me permission to publish it here.

Hi John,

Just had a sudden death of one of our pets.… Read more

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. ~ Hippocrates

We Are One by John Cali and Spirit

We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other. ~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Although it’s almost a cliché, the phrase “We are all one,” is more true today than ever before.

In April 1986 CBS newsman Andy Rooney covered the triumphant homecoming concert of legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz. Horowitz left his native Russia 60 years earlier, and this was his first time back.… Read more

Channelling, Imagination, and Trust by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality, videos | 14

“Everything you can imagine is real.” ~ Pablo Picasso

In my work people often ask my spirit guides or me how they can learn to channel. While we don’t teach channelling, I am always glad to share with folks my experiences in learning to channel, and in now actually doing it as my only work.

So I’d like to share with you today how it all started for me. If you’re interested in channelling I hope my experiences will give you the incentive to just go ahead and do it.… Read more

The Healing Power of Animals: Sequel by John Cali and Spirit

“The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.” ~ Johnny Depp

In our last post, “The Healing Power of Animals,” we talked about animals helping humans to heal.

An article I came across yesterday ago talks about the way a boxer named Romeo helped people heal while he was in the final stages of a fatal illness. His mistress, Riina Cooke, did her best to make his final days as easy and as much fun as possible.… Read more

My good friend, Ann Miller publishes The Star Beacon, a popular bimonthly newsletter about UFOs and other related information. In her April issue Ann published an article, “The Deeper Spiritual Purpose of Pets” by Robert Schwartz. Robert is the author of the popular books, Your Soul’s Plan and Your Soul’s Gift.

In his article Robert talks about the healing power of animals. Most of us who’ve lived with a dog or cat, or any pet, have probably had some experience with this.… Read more

How Long Do You Want To Live and How Do You Want To Die? by John Cali and Spirit

Deathbed of George Washington
Image by Junius Brutus Stearns

I recently read an article about the death of a 21-month-old baby girl in Texas. She’d fallen into her family’s swimming pool, was revived and rushed to the hospital.

The doctors, after many weeks of various medical procedures, decided she could not survive. She’d gone without oxygen too long, and her organs had shut down. Yet she was still alive.

Her parents begged the “authorities” to end her suffering. They refused. The family decided to remove her feeding tube because, in Texas, that was their only legal alternative.… Read more

If You Knew You Were Going To Die Today, How Would You Spend Your Final Hours? by John Cali and Spirit

The Laughing Buddha by William Cho

How would you answer the question our title asks?

When I asked myself that question, I had to stop to think about it. What would I do? How would I spend the hours I knew would be my last in this lifetime?

Here’s Spirit.

Many humans often ask themselves “Why am I here?”

We can answer that question with one word: “Joy.”

Perhaps even more difficult to answer would be John’s question:
How would I spend the hours I knew would be my last in this lifetime?… Read more

When You Look In the Mirror Do You Like What You See? by John Cali and Spirit

Old Woman at the Mirror by Bernardo Strozzi

There’s a worldwide epidemic devastating our planet today—self-hatred. Over the years in my work and personal life, I’ve seen the effects of this epidemic—it ain’t pretty.

Most of us, including me, have at one time or another been unable to look in the mirror and like what we see, let alone love it. That’s pretty sad.

Here’s Spirit.

We do not tell you anything you do not already know, in some part of your awareness.… Read more

How Much Protection Do You Really Need? by John Cali and Spirit

I remember many years ago, when I first started on this spiritual path, some teachers advised to always protect ourselves when we talked to Spirit. The idea was that “evil” entities could attack us, even taking over our bodies and minds.

The Roman Catholic Church, who obviously believe in evil spirits, even have a procedure for removing them—it’s called exorcism.

I was never comfortable with the idea of needing protection. In fact, I never used any when I was channelling—I still don’t today.… Read more

Why Aren’t We Winning Any Wars? by John Cali and Spirit

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

United States military cemetery at Arlington, Virginia, USA

In today’s world we seem to have a war on everything we consider undesirable.

We have a war on poverty, a war on drugs, a war on ignorance, a war on crime, a war on disease—not to mention the wars we wage against countries and people we disagree with.

What often strikes me most is the war on disease. I read a lot of obituaries—not out of any morbid sense of curiosity, but just an interest in knowing who’s moved on to their next adventure.… Read more

Crematorium and graveyard at Terezin concentration camp

Last Sunday one of my all-time favorite people died. Alice Herz-Sommer was 110 years old.

Alice survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camp at Terezin. Even though her husband and many family and friends died there, she came away physically and emotionally unharmed. It’s pretty hard to believe, but Alice bore no hatred or resentment toward Nazi Germany.

She loved music and it’s part of the reason she walked away from Terezin virtually unscathed.… Read more
