My spirit guides often talk about love, including self-love. They say animals are among our best teachers in learning to love, especially to love ourselves. All love starts with ourselves. In today’s world we seeing an epidemic of self-hatred—the source of virtually all this planet’s woes.

As Louise Hay says, “Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the keys to positive changes….When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.”

I grew up with some pretty dysfunctional people, some in my family and others among my friends.… Read more

11 Reasons You May Not Be As Happy As You Want To Be by John Cali and Spirit

Happy Smiling Cat by Yumi Kimura

One of the most common complaints Spirit and I hear from folks is they don’t know how to be happy unless certain conditions are met. Conditions that often have nothing to do with them, and which are beyond their control.

Sound familiar? That was the way I lived my life for many years—till I finally woke up.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts.

Spirit

As John said, we hear lots of excuses why people think they cannot be happy.… Read more

Are We Getting Closer To Global Oneness? by John Cali

The Dalai Lama said “Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or non-believing, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones.… Read more

The Scent of Roses by John Cali

One of the most common questions we get in personal readings is “How can I contact my spirit guides?”

The short answer to that is “You don’t have to contact them—they will contact you.”

That sounds like a contradiction since so many people want to contact their guides, but are not succeeding. The reason they are not succeeding is they are not paying attention when the guides actually do contact them—and so they miss an opportunity to connect.… Read more

Did You Know Everything You Want To Manifest Already Exists? by John Cali

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, self-help, spirituality | 16

Manifest Destinies by R. Gopakumar

Most of us, one time or another, have wondered why we could not manifest what we wanted in our lives—even when we did everything “right.” I know I sure have!

But, for most of my life, I never asked the question our title presents today. How could my desires already exist if I saw no evidence of them in my life? That’s just not possible—or so I thought. Maybe you’ve had the same experience.

You’ve probably heard or read the stories of native tribes not being able to see large European sailing ships as the crews ventured into parts of the world unknown to Europe till then.… Read more

Living In The Maze of Today’s World Is Easier If You Know You Are God by John Cali

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

This week’s article is adapted from a talk my spirit guides and I gave last week at Awakening Zone Radio.

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

Peace be with you!

We are delighted to be here tonight in this particular connection. We trust our words will resonate with you—and perhaps give you a greater sense, and a deeper sense, of who you really are.

Often the folks we talk with give “lip service” to the idea they are God, they are divine energy. When we remind them, some will say “Yes, BUT….”—and… Read more

Just Exactly How Powerful Are You? by John Cali

Filippo Bottino, Italian Weightlifter

Most of us vastly underestimate ourselves. We’ve been literally brainwashed by our society, churches, governments, schools, etc. into believing we are powerless against the external forces of “what is.”

My spirit guides have often reminded us of how powerful we are—and of what a bunch of BS that brainwashing is. Here are some of their thoughts.

Spirit

Every one of your thoughts, words, and actions have powerful effects that radiate all around you, and ripple through the entire universe.… Read more

The title of our post today comes courtesy of our dear friend Jeannie Horn in Canada. Last week she sent me this beautiful piece, Looking Through Love’s Eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did—it will give you a new, more loving perspective of yourself.

Looking Through Love’s Eyes

Looking through Love’s Eyes we are getting to know our Inner Self, the Watcher who waits, who is so patient, so loving that It allows us free will to be who we need to be. … Read more

Spirit Is Speaking To You Right Now by John Cali

Image by Arpingstone

One of the most common questions folks ask my spirit guides and me is “How can I communicate with my dead loved ones?”

That’s a question most of us ask one time or another. I sure have!

As I see it, the problem is not that physical death cuts the lines of communication between our loved ones and us. Just the opposite, in fact. Our family in spirit are always right here with us now, in a much more powerful and intimate way than when they were in a physical body.… Read more

The Veil Between God and Humans by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

Divine Light by Andrew Kudrin

One of our readers recently asked me this question:

“In all the work that you do with Spirit, are you aware of a sense of the consciousness, itself, being the veil between God and man?”

Here’s my reply:

“My own personal experience is that consciousness itself is the link, the common ground between God and us. After all, we are God.

“The only difference between God and us, or between spirit guides and us, is that we have temporary human bodies.… Read more

Always Speak Your Truth Kindly by John Cali

The Dalai Lama and Bishop Desmond Tutu

One of my favorite Dalai Lama quotes is “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

And another: “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”

One of our recent newsletter articles was Always Speak Your Truth Fearlessly. Some folks, including me in earlier years, take that to mean speak your truth aggressively with no regard or consideration for others. That, as I see in hindsight, is a very bad policy.… Read more

Always Speak Your Truth Fearlessly By John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 13

Many years ago I graduated from a Jesuit college. They required all students to study philosophy every year. I was fascinated by the subject, and one of my favorite philosophers was the ancient Greek, Socrates.

Socrates was condemned to death for speaking his truth—as he always did fearlessly.

William Shakespeare famously said, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

One of my all-time favorite writers, Richard Bach, said “Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.”… Read more

Listen: How To Help Others Heal by John Cali

A few days ago I was chatting with an old friend. We have a good relationship, but she’s very talkative, and not always a good listener. That sometimes creates tension between us.

This particular day I decided to just listen to her, and keep my words to a minimum. She’s been having some daunting challenges in her work and personal life. She talked a long time, and I mostly listened.

After she was done, and we were about to say goodbye, she paused and looked me directly in the eye.… Read more

The Zen of War By John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, spirituality | 13

Philosopher Albert Camus said “Peace is the only battle worth waging.”

War and peace are much on the world’s mind today, especially with the recent Syrian crisis. And, of course, the other conflicts raging around the planet.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:

You will never make peace with bombs and guns.

If you carry any hatred, anger, resentment, or bitterness in your heart, you are making war, not peace.

You cannot create peace by waging war. You cannot create peace by protesting war.

Life and Love Are Not For the Fainthearted by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 23

Beartooth Pass, Wyoming USA

Life and love, with their many twists and turns, ups and downs, are like a high mountain road—not for the fainthearted.

When we know in our hearts there is a course we must follow, there is no doubt or hesitation. There is only the firm conviction this is absolutely the right course, no matter how difficult it is. And it’s always for the highest good of all involved.

In the last three months three of my close relationships have foundered and/or sunk.… Read more

Is Your Mind Driving You Crazy? by John Cali

Buddha once said “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

Until I started meditating many years ago, my mind really was driving me crazy. I can still get distracted, but I’ve found meditation to be a powerful tool for quieting my mind—and body too.

Our modern world holds many distractions. This is not necessarily a bad thing.… Read more

Do You Think Homosexuality Is Unnatural—or Wrong? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 32

Two gay men

Even in this era of dramatic transformation on our planet and in our human consciousness, there are still places where we hang on tightly to outdated ideas that just don’t work anymore. Or perhaps never did.

One of those is certainly the whole area of human sexuality, especially homosexuality.

I personally find it encouraging that we are at least talking more openly than ever before about these issues, especially homosexuality.

Even in conservative places like Wyoming, where I live, there is more open discussion—more willingness to see life from other people’s perspectives.… Read more

Always Follow Your Heart by John Cali

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

We are often urged to follow our hearts. But how many of us do it consistently?

In my own personal experience, and in talking with others about their experiences, I find two significant blocks to following our hearts.

First, we’re too easily swayed by the opinions of others.

Second, we do not trust ourselves and our own inner guidance.

Here are some thoughts from Spirit.

Many of you were taught, as little children, not to follow your hearts.… Read more

Are You Shackled To The Past Without Even Knowing It? by John Cali

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

A couple nights ago I had one of the most vivid dreams I can ever remember.

The dream included only two people—a friend from this lifetime and me. The setting seemed to be around the mid-1800s in a house I know very well in this lifetime. We were having a disagreement about our relationship, and the dream ended without us settling our differences—even though we both said we loved the other.

When I woke up I knew exactly the message the dream was giving me.… Read more

How Do You Learn To Love Yourself? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

One of the biggest issues plaguing many of the folks I work with is self-love—or, rather, the lack of it. Often this is rooted in past experiences of this lifetime, or even of past lives.

Compounding the problem is the fact our modern world does not always encourage or support the practice of self-love. In fact, in many ways it discourages love of self.

I personally struggled with this issue for many years when I was younger. And I know many of you have also.… Read more

All Differences Are Illusion, Only Oneness Is Real by John Cali

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

Image by Kundhan karunakar

In David Thomas’ film, Tuning In, one of the underlying themes was the oneness of all creation. My spirit guides often say God is all that is. That includes all humans, all animals, all plants, the land, the sea—all life, animate and inanimate, on earth and beyond. There is nothing in all of creation that is not God.

If we accept God is in all that exists—is all that exists, then (obviously) we as human beings are all God.… Read more

Are We Making War or Making Peace? by John Cali

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

I realize that image is a strange one for a spiritual newsletter. The gun, a replica of an 1873 Colt Firearms revolver, was called The Peacemaker. Ironic name for something intended to kill and destroy.

We’re all aware of the devastating conflicts going on right now in the Middle East, plus other places around the globe. James Twyman, aptly called the Peace Troubadour, was on a peace mission this past week to Syria and Egypt.

James gathered together tens of thousands of people around the world to send their healing prayers of peace to all those individuals and countries being ravaged by war.… Read more

Can You Heal Your Body Without Doctors? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 13

Witch Doctor Healing by Malcolm Lidbury

A recent article in The Independent, a British news site, reported Pentecostal church pastors in Britain were telling their church members with the AIDS virus to rely on God for healing—and to ignore medical doctors.

At first I thought the pastors were being foolhardy and irresponsible. But the more I thought about it, the more sense it made.

As one of the pastors in the article said, “…we believe that the first healing comes from inside, it’s a spiritual healing.… Read more

Are People Unkind to You Because of Your Spiritual Path? by John Cali

If you answered “Yes” to that question, you’re not alone.

Most of my Roman Catholic family have disapproved of my spiritual path ever since I started channelling years ago. I have a great relationship with many of them. But even the ones I’m closest to have told me they pray for me so I won’t go to hell. That amuses me, and I just tell them hell doesn’t exist.

When David Thomas filmed the movie Tuning In with 5 other channels and me, my family, except for my brother, could not have cared less.… Read more

The Rabbit by the Side of the Road by John Cali

We’ve talked about animals in several recent posts, and we’re doing it again today.After this we’ll move on to other subjects.

A couple days ago while I was walking home after my early-morning run, I spotted a cute little rabbit by the side of the road. He didn’t run from me, as rabbits usually do. So when I got up close to him I could see his hind legs were mangled, probably from being hit by a car.… Read more
