Don't be disheartened John. Your videos help many people Immensely. You've helped me find that inner childlike peace again. The Lord put you here for a reason and put your video in my feed for a reason. You're helping people turn toward the light and even be saved. I hope to one day have a conversation with you before you pass John. Such a jolly old soul full of such joy.
@@mmmfun77 He does! And not only because John has a white beard, but (in my humble opinion) also because he does bring joy to all of us who are listening to his wise advice.
John , today is my birthday and while reading a passage of your book Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment , I found a passage so beautiful, that I wanted to share : “Every leaf is a mini-Christ, or we would say a member, or the body of Christ - teaching us the way. Gently, onobtrusively she covers our misdeeds, and heals the wounded earth. Well named the forgiveness of nature, she bears no grudge and brings no harm for harm. Often despised, rejected, trodden down by man, she too, most humbly bears the sins of others, and, ever faithful , dies to rise again. Dear grass. Dear Lord. “ Dear John, this was beautiful . Thank you for writing this book. Thank Phil ❤️xxxx
We all watch you for different reasons. Some watch you for relaxation, others watch you for your wisdom. I’m a bit of both. 😂 Rest assured John that your work has helped many people! ❤
Having had a little break from Utube, I have started to watch it again...This is the only channel that I missed dearly, and listening today feels as if I'm being wrapped in the most beautiful, comforting, safe pair of arms again. Thank you John ❤
@@vp5633 I am not the person who should tell you what to do. But if you feel you are addicted to social media etc., then maybe you could try knowingly to shorten the time you spend on your laptop, phone, or any screen that makes you anxious. This is not a good advice on my part, because I regularly fail to do it myself.
The concept of keeping oneself disciplined because the days you want to do it the least are the days you need it the most…it’s a beautiful mentality and so gently expressed. Thank you always for your kind words, John.
John is such a darling beautiful man, always so compassionate and wise in his talks. Thank you so much Phil for all the love and support that you give him. Creating these beautiful videos over the years has helped such a lot of people. 🙏💙🙏
These videos bring me such a deep comfort and feeling of warmth and calmness, homeliness as well as inspiration. What an incredible, wise and beautiful man. These videos are truly beautiful and the feeling they evoke in me and ability to make any anxieties I have just melt away and I feel still and calm and my mind quietens and opens up to his words and energy
Much love John. You help me connect to serenity. In recovering from addiction and sin, the calm and sense of peace your videos help me to connect with are so helpful.
Just seeing his face brings such peace to my soul and joy to my heart...I imagine this is what it felt like to be in the presence of Jesus. I hope I can learn to be like that...bring someone peace and joy. :)
Via these videos, that you have brought to us, there seems to be nothing but your personal wisdom, good will, sharing of invaluable experience from your personal book of "wanting to be a good (human) being." Nothing short of a good life's work. In my humble opinion It is void of any ill-will. Of course it is. And that is why I love John Butler. Thank you so much John, and Phil also!
Man I really like this dude fr,his videos are blessings and we lucky to have the privilege to appreciate such knowledge and Grace,it's goin to F me up when he is gone
Hey John besides the coming ,which I have been educateing my youngster on prepping my family to be on the safe side I hope your doing well be safe and John take care of yourself I see u have millions listening learning with feet on the ground all I can say is there is a reason and don't ever think your words are waisted ,God bless John and Phil hope all is well stay safe and God bless
Forgetting your body a good thing with aches and pains plus being errand girl for husband with stage 4 cancer. So learning to be alone beforehand. Just lost sheep. I practice humilitary as I am thankful I can walk so always try to do a good deed when I go...and feel I know nothing too. Symbolic protection dreams many times. God's grace in stillness and peace.
The gift of Revelation occurs best when we understand the path of the least that departs from the rest we duely exhault the first command. Mr Butler is a compass he quietly points us in the right direction. By his warmth we cn unfreeze and then overflow toward that cardinal direction. Romans 15:13
With full respect, of course: John would have a lot to say, if he had a real conversational partner! Phil is the right one, because he has always good questions with great relevance! I therefore do not understand, why he "stays" hidden! too bad, it's a big loss for everyone! Please correct me if I'm not right!
Phil is great! I’ve been watching John for a long time now, and I like the solo videos because they are not only educational, I can also fall asleep to them. When Phil interviews John it’s a great video but it doesn’t have the same ASMR effect!
I love this guy he is like a grandfather. I agree and disagree with something's but it makes me feel better and think about my own knowledge of what I feel. What is my I AM. Because my I am is all that is true. Hard to explain but, don't need to explain, just is as I am thinking 💗💗
Yes. This is why The Bible is called God's revealed word. Knowledge is indeed revealed to us. Obsession with human empiricism lead to closed mindedness.
I heard him say "Ronny" and thought he was saying my name "Rami." I was like, "What? He knows me? I've never even commented on one of these videos before!"
The grandfather I never had nor knew I needed. This man exudes and pours the word of what it is to be human. He’s almost spectral and ethereal whilst still alive in the flesh. Amazing. The man should be canonised as a saint! We love you John! ❤
That’s how I got my salvation activated, by hearing the words of Jesus and then I automatically had common-sense in those words and it didn’t matter where I was
I went into psychosis in the past 6 months although I was meditating religiously and really trying genuinely to follow these steps . I really cannot do it on my own
James 1v13&14 When under trial, let no one say " I am being tried by God ."For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone . But each one is drawn out and enticed by his own desire .
My family dog of 12 years was put to sleep today, that combined with everything else going on in the world is making life a real struggle at the moment 😢
@@ho5286 Feel for you my friend, it would've been our girl's 13th birthday at the start of the week... a lot of people don't understand it's a family member you lose when your dog dies, my little brother was 10 and a half when we got her, he's now 22 and 8 months so she was around for more than half of his life, what makes her death so hard isn't just losing her but feels as though such a massive chapter in all of our lives has come to a close. Luckily I've grown up and now live with my fiancee and we have our own 4 year old black lab who's been a real comfort to me, still hurts like nothing I've ever felt before though.
I don’t get these videos and John’s understanding. Is he a Christian or a new age philosopher? How can he be both? Mediation is not found in scripture unless he’s referring to prayer. Confusing and convoluted.
If you want to learn about John and his message it would probably help if you started with his early videos made a few years ago. I can see where this video would seem somewhat random. It has bits of teachings he has talked about much more directly in other videos.
There are different type of prayer: petitionary (asking God to help you), intercessory (asking God to help others), and contemplative (meditative prayer). There is the World Centre for Christian Meditation, which is a place to practice and learn about contemplative prayer. An example is the Jesus prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me a sinner) which can be repeated as a mantra - this is a form of contemplative prayer, often mentioned by John. Contemplative prayer was much practiced in the monasteries but the Reformation led to many of them being destroyed and now there is less emphasis on contemplative prayer in the Western churches, but it is a strong element of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Russia and elsewhere, and I think that it was during John's time in Russia that he began using the Jesus Prayer. There are some deep works of contemplative prayer from Medieval Christian Mystics such as Dark Night of the Soul by St John of the Cross, The Interior Castle by Teresa of Ávila, and the Cloud of Unknowing (anonymous, but thought to be written by a cloistered monk). So there is a rich contemplative tradition in Christianity and The World Centre for Christian Meditation is reviving and building upon this. So you can see that John's immersion in meditation is not inconsistent with his connection to Christianity and scripture (the aforementioned Christian Mystics were very aware of scripture, and you can find scriptural quotes in their work) .
@@AttyDouro22 it’s so sad that you come here just to spew hatred. If more people lived similarly to John, and took time to meditate and feel the freedom of it, we would all get along much better.
@@kevries147 First off all you need to accept that this 'depression' lives in your mind and can be defeated by establishing control over your own mind, which results in peace. That is what meditation is about. Self-control. Has nothing to do with 'oppression' or any of the absurd nonsense you've stated. As for worship, that is John's personal matter and the people who're around him voluntarily came to hear his words. Must have a rough life when you feel the necessity to hate on an old man on the internet who's only trying to offer guidance to people in need...
My wife passed away recently john and you’ve helped me so much to cope with what as happened to me thank you so much
❤️
I hope you do not feel you are alone with your sorrow.
God bless you, John. Sending you peace, sympathy and light. 🕯

If struggling is part of the journey, then I am clearly on the right track.

I kind of think this might be the right question to ask John Butler, even though it is not a question.
Precious teachings John, and thank you Phil too..
My silent friend holding my hand
Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️
The love of truth...absolutely!
He is just so calming to the soul. I learn so much wisdom from him.
Phil, is John doing well?
I really want to know too... I hope he's doing well.
I want to know the answer to this question too. But is it relevant, because John seems to be ok with his being.
Nothing ever really dies bruh

Can we please hear the questions being asked so we can get the whole story. I also miss hearing Phil and John,s banter .
