God Is All That Is

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling, spiritual power | 0

Depending on your spiritual/religious beliefs (or lack of them), our title today could have radically different meanings for different folks.

Below is a recent, slightly edited conversation between Spirit and Berna. She had asked Spirit for clarification of the terms “conscious being,” “sentient being,” and “souled being.” As Spirit says below, the terms you use don’t matter—it is all God.

Spirit

You and Johnny believe—to put it simply—God is All That Is.

If that’s true, then God is in everything, in all that exists.… Read more

God and Science

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 4

One of our favorite scientists is Carl Sagan. Some people have described him as an atheist. But he denied that label.

Spirit

We define love as simply a choice – a choice to recognize the divinity in all beings (all that is). First, though, what is all that is?

“All that Is” is another term for the Great Spirit—God—Goddess, or whatever other names you want to use for the supreme being. We like “All That Is.”

All That Is is all that exists.… Read more

Love and Religion

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, spirituality | 10

Many years ago, I had a startling experience with love and religion.

Still a teenager, I’d joined the US Navy. (Military service was required in those days.) Stationed far from my New York home, I was lonely and homesick, as were my shipmates. Simon (not his real name), my closest friend on the ship, was also from New York.

We were docked in San Diego, California at the time. Simon and I took a weekend off to explore San Diego. We “accidentally” came across a hospitality house owned by a Protestant church.… Read more

Sex and Spirituality

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 2

A while ago, a reader asked us to talk about the spirituality of sex.

If you were raised as we were, in the Roman Catholic Church, you’ll undoubtedly remember sex was something you didn’t talk about. You got the idea it was evil. So how could it possibly be spiritual?

Among the Church’s rules was sex, and even thoughts about it, were evil. Except, of course, within the narrow and strictly controlled confines of marriage. Any violation was sure to send you to Hell for all eternity.… Read more

Can Politics and Spirituality Go Together?

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 4

…if there is any principle of the (United States) Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for the thought that we hate. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice

Remember, Reclaim, Reconnect

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, relationships | 0

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. ~ Anthony J. DiAngelo, The College Blue Book

reconnection-remembrance-relationships

Is there someone in your life you have, perhaps, forgotten? Is there some precious memory you have released and want to reclaim? Maybe now’s the time to remember, reclaim and reconnect.

Spirit gave me this message early one dark and cold, snowy morning earlier this week. It’s one of their shortest ever.

This moment on your planet may seem the worst of all times. But, actually, it’s the best of all times.… Read more

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 6

In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded. ~ Sir Terry Pratchett, British author

The Big Bang

Last week we received a letter from one of our readers, Cinda Miller. With her permission, here’s what she wrote:

Dear John,

I wanted to run something by you and see if it has a ring of truth to it. This is a thought that occurred to me the other day and in order to make sense from a thought I have to write it down.… Read more

Mr. Smith Goes To Texas: Follow-up by John Cali and Spirit

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and see that the chaff is printed. ~ Elbert Hubbard 1856-1915

Note: I chose that graphic above for this post because my spirit guides are fond of saying exactly that—It (life) is all good, whether or not it seems so.

One of our readers, Cinda Miller, sent us a letter in response to last week’s post, Mr. Smith Goes To Texas. I thought it was a great letter.… Read more

Wayne Dyer 1940–2015: Followup by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

Almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ~ Steve Jobs 1955–2011

I want to thank all of you who read and commented on our last post about Wayne’s passing.… Read more

Beyond The Darkness by John Cali and Spirit

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. ~ Og Mandino

The Light Beyond the Darkness

I’m generally pretty upbeat, positive, and happy. Life has been good to me. I’m deeply grateful for that, and for life itself.

However, this past year has been full of challenges for my family and me. There have been some pretty dark days. Also some damn good days, thanks to all the angels, human and in spirit, who’ve been there for us.… Read more

Seeing Through the Eyes of Grace by John Cali and Spirit

Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. This is not philosophy. This is physics. ~ Albert Einstein

The 21-Day Challenge by John Cali and Spirit

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Mountain Climbing Challenge

A couple days ago I finished a “21-day meditation challenge”—the name Deepak Chopra has given his periodic free meditation courses. He presents each of the series with Oprah Winfrey. Their latest, Manifesting Grace through Gratitude, ran the 21 days from July 13 through August 2.

You’ve probably heard the news of protests circling the planet over the recent death of the legendary, beloved Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world. ~ Georges Duhamel

The Heart of God

This past year or so I’ve become a serious student of A Course in Miracles. It’s had a profoundly powerful, positive effect on my life and work.

The Magdaleine Group are a powerful gathering of non-physical spirit guides whose greatest passion is teaching us we are all connected, and we can communicate with each other in the blink of an eye. We just have to quiet our minds, get into the right vibration, listen and trust.

How To Overcome Your Fear of Death by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 20

Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome….Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a simple teaching tool to be laid by when learning is complete, hardly changing him who learns at all. A Course in Miracles

God Is All That Is

Last week someone I’ve known many years killed himself. The details are not important. But our perception of those details, and of the death itself, requires some soul-searching.

Our society assumes it is natural for us to fear death—no matter how, when, where, why it occurs.… Read more

The Secret to Finding Solace in the Silence and Stillness by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 10

Whenever there is some silence around you—listen to it. That means just notice it. Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Be Silent

Last week started out well. But by the end of the week, I was floundering around, confused and distressed by a challenge I’d never faced before.

One morning, upon awakening, I noticed I could not hear out of my left ear.… Read more

Do you dread aging? Our society places physical youth and beauty on a pedestal, and does all it can to deny the passing years.

Dogs are wise agents, sent directly from heaven. ~ Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy

Shep, Fort Benton, Montana

I’ve loved dogs all my life. My family and I have been blessed to have many of them as beloved members of the family over the years.

My spirit guides also have a fondness for dogs (and all animals). Here are a few words from them, taken from an article we wrote a few years ago:

What Is the “Rule of Law?” by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 4

Every law is an infraction of liberty. ~ Jeremy Bentham (1748 — 1832)

The 10 Commandments

We’re living in a time when we hear much — perhaps too much — about the “rule of law.” And how it is seemingly so often violated all over our planet.

Spirit

Much of your modern society bases itself on what it calls the rule of law. Just what is this rule of law?

Although your many and varied jurisdictions have their own laws and interpretations of those laws, they are all based upon a most “unspiritual” perspective.… Read more

Man is the artificer of his own happiness. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Guardian Angel

People often ask us how to talk to their spirit guides (or guardian angels). Well, they’re sometimes surprised when we tell them their guides or angels are always right there with them — and want to talk to them.

Are You Having a Crisis of Enlightenment? by John Cali and Spirit

Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. ~ A Course in Miracles

Buddhist Monk

One of our friends recently sent us this note:

“I’m interested in learning more about picking up on, or taking in, other people’s energy. How does that work? How can we learn to separate heavy energy from other people versus our own heavy energy?”

Great question, and one we’ve been asked a lot since 2012.… Read more

Does Change Drive You Crazy? by John Cali and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 8

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. ~ King Whitney Jr.
