Trust your angels to catch your wish and bring it to you in a delightfully surprising way. ~ Doreen Virtue

Over the years many of our readers have asked about angels. I personally have been fascinated by the subject ever since I was a little boy. I still remember my mother reading angel stories to us at bedtime.

Today we’re featuring an article by my dear friend, Mary Ellen, aka “Angel Scribe.” She’s a talented writer and widely published in several different areas, including angels.… Read more

The Prayer of God

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, videos | 29

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is “Thank you,” that would suffice. ~ Meister Eckhart

The past few weeks I’ve been going through my house as I get ready to move. I’ve come across many stored items I’d long forgotten about. Some I’m keeping, but most I’m releasing.

I’m well organized and keep my home neat and clean. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much lighter the energy of the house feels as I clear out what I no longer want or need.… Read more

Aham brahmasmi. ~ Sanskrit mantra, translated as “I am the wholeness of all creation.”

The Universe
US National Aeronautics and Space Administration

We’ve all heard it said we create our own realities. But what exactly does that mean? And how do we do it?

Spirit

First, let’s start this discussion with who each of you really are. Or, more to the point, who you are not.

You are not:

Your body
Your mind
Your family identity
Your ethnic background
Your job, your profession
Father
Mother
Son
Daughter
And so on

You are not any of those labels you use to identify yourselves while you are in your physical bodies.… Read more

Dogs and Life’s Other Mysteries

Do not ask Spirit to heal the body. Ask rather that Spirit teach you the right perception of the body. ~ A Course in Miracles

Two days ago I was out for a walk in the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a snarling dog hurled himself at me, taking a chunk out of my leg. As I defended myself, he bit me on the wrist. Finally I managed to chase him off. With my leg and wrist bleeding, I painfully limped back home.… Read more

I believe there are two sides to the phenomenon known as death, this side where we live, and the other side where we shall continue to live. Eternity does not start with death. We are in eternity now. ~ Norman Vincent Peale

When Was the Last Time You Saw God? by John Cali and Spirit

God is not a Christian. ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Man Made In the Image of God

In the Tuning In movie my spirit guides defined God as “All that is.” Just exactly what does that mean?

Spirit

You see God every day. Let us count the ways.

When you look at yourself in the mirror you are seeing God.

When you look into the eyes of another living being you are seeing God.

When you watch a golden sunrise, a peaceful flowing river, a beautiful flower, a butterfly–that’s God.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it….I am going to have kind thoughts toward others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can. ~ Dalai Lama

Travels in America, Part 2: The Gate Is Opening by Hans Brockhuis

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

Grand Canyon
US National Park Service

Have you ever read the book by John Steinbeck about his travels with his dog Charley, in search of the true America? I did many years ago, and remembering this it somehow triggered me to one day travel to the U.S. with my wife. I was also in search of promising and overwhelming landscapes, of people, animals, and the way of living, as well as anything that would come our way. The main reason, though, was to enter on a spiritual journey to the New World.… Read more

Every child is born a genius. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Part of the genius of children is they know how to love themselves. And they never feel guilty about it.

Spirit

Loving yourself unconditionally is the single most important thing you can do in this lifetime.

If you cannot celebrate the miracle that is you, you will find little joy or reason in celebrating anything or anyone else. Your ability to love, appreciate, and celebrate yourself is the key to all you seek.… Read more

Do You Really Know Who You Are? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling | 16

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. ~ Buddha

Events are not things that happen to you. They are materialized experiences formed by you, according to your expectations and beliefs. ~ Seth

The Seth Material
Copyright © 1970 by Jane Roberts

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the death of Jane Roberts, the channel for Seth. I remember the day clearly, as my family and I were visiting my mother in New York State. Mom lived just a few miles from where Jane and her husband, Rob Butts, lived.

I was introduced to Seth by Tom, a good friend and a psychotherapist.… Read more

What I Learned from Jehovah’s Witnesses by John Cali and Spirit

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. ~ Dalai Lama

Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt

Two friendly young women with two cute little kids knocked on my front door a few days ago.

Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. ~ Terry Lynn Taylor

Giving Thanks

Have you ever asked yourself that question? I never did—till recently. Here’s Spirit.

Spirit

Most people find it easy to be grateful for all the “good” things in their lives. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, and we highly recommend you all give thanks every day for your blessings.… Read more

What Happens When We Return To Spirit? by John Cali and Spirit

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, videos | 21



There is no death. ~ A Course in Miracles Heaven by Giovanni di Paolo NOTE: This post is longer than we usually publish. But I trust you’ll find it useful. A few weeks ago one of our readers, Christine Disano-Davenport, sent us a letter. She had recently watched a film and read some books about life after death. Though she enjoyed them, they were disturbing to her. As she put it, “…what is bothering me now is that it (the film and books) is shaking my belief about what happens after we make our transition.”

Cassie

I had an unusual experience a few days ago with Cassie, my brother’s and sister-in-law’s cat.

I was house-sitting for them while they were out of town. Cassie is quite a character, and amazingly intelligent. I often talk to her in ordinary English (and telepathically too). She always understands.… Read more

Do You Take Life Too Seriously? by John Cali and Spirit

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

Nothing Is As It Seems by John Cali and Spirit

Beware so long as you live, of judging people by appearances. ~ Jean de La Fontaine, French poet

Hobos, United States Library of Congress

Years ago we wrote a post about a hobo in my western New York State hometown. For many years he lived in the woods by the railroad tracks, not far from town. Although people would pass by his little shack now and then, he never spoke to anyone.

We always thought he was just a sad, pitiful lost soul, with no family or support.… Read more

The Land of No-Time by John Cali and Spirit

To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.

~ Richard Bach, in Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Many years ago I had an unforgettable experience of being completely beyond time.

I’d left my house for a destination 10 miles away. I happened to check my car’s clock at the moment I started out. I was driving at the speed limit.

When I got where I was going, I checked the car clock again.… Read more

When Things Go Wrong, Let the Universe Take Over 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, self-help, spirituality | 12

Appearances often are deceiving. ~ Aesop

This past week I had an early-morning appointment. When I went out to my car, it was completely dead—no battery power at all. The battery was brand-new. At first, I started moaning, “Why me?” But I quickly caught myself and stopped that line of thinking dead in its tracks.

Why not me? I knew there was a good reason for this unpleasant surprise. I knew it was something other than what it appeared to be.… Read more

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 by John Cali and Spirit

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. ~ George Santayana

Today’s and our next few posts will be necessarily short, as I’ll be traveling this week and next.

By now we’ve all heard about the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 which crashed in Ukraine last week. The Boeing 777 aircraft, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lampur, carried 298 people. All died.

One bright spot in this human tragedy concerns a British family who said someone was “watching over them.”… Read more

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

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
