The 'common sense' guide to meditation - Part 3 (the use of a mantra)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2020
- This is Part 3 of John's 'common sense' guide to meditation, where he gives clear direction on the use of a mantra. The principle of meditation is to have a focus other than thinking about your worries and problems. In effect, it's like waking from a dream. This was recorded at one of the 'breakfast chats' on a retreat, and we thank the guests for allowing us to release it for everyone. There will be more 'breakfast chats' released from time to time - now called 'Impromptus'.
You can now listen to John on Spotify and other audio platforms. Here is his most popular recording 'Common sense guide to meditation' (1m views) - ffm.to/commonsenseguidetomedi....

Those wanting more detailed accounts of John's life experience - the formative influences, which have taught and made him what he is, will find it in his 7 published books, available through the website: www.spiritualunfoldment.co.uk/store.
Retreat guests asked if the sample t-shirt was more widely available in different size and colours. They are now - / @spiritualunfoldment . There is a new design too - 'don't fence me in'.

Imagine a presidential debate where issues were discussed with this level of calmness and civility.
Oh man I’d pass out
They get called “Sleepy”
Well it’s a debate for a reason

"Peace comes from peaceful people." Love that quote.
He's a living gnome! The heart of a child in a wise old man. Beautiful.
Matthew 18:1-5
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”
Or he is humble probably doesn't get upset about things is cortisol levels are probably low so he probably won't get cancer from high levels of cortisol probably live for a long time

I actually found I preferred this format; where he’s talking to his meditation students. It’s very informative and calming as well. I love the way he calls everyone ‘dear’ and is so respectful and civil even when he’s disagreeing with someone.

I have listened to this 5 times already and will listen many more times. This is utter perfection! Thank you dear sir! You truly speak to the heart!
"the common sense" series has to be my favourite on UA-cam to relax to.
Thanks - we may do a DVD release. Phil

Please tell John that he has impacted even the simplest of lives all over the world. I’m from a little city called Baton Rouge found in Louisiana and I’ve been following him since I stumbled across him. It was definitely the Lord that allowed me to cross his path on UA-cam. Thanks you for blessing us with these recordings!!!
This was the perfect balance of wisdom and meditation-inducing ASMR. I went right into meditation listening to it.
May God Universe Truth reach out to you and lift you towards the light dear person reading this 🙏☺️❤️
"People who aren't prepared to make the effort will stay where they are, you're blessed to have the desire."
Yeeees! Thank you for a longer video.
I've honestly listened to all of John's videos. Although I'm not a religious man myself, you've got to admire his wisdom.
I like listening to him talk about his younger life as a farmer and his love for nature. His voice is just so damn soothing 😴😴 ❤
I could have wrote that
same here, even through after listening to so many of videos he has had a few ungaurded moments of his view of god on the world so ah. for the most part hes a person whos lived a life full of experience

Thank you so much john and phil
You take me home
Much love from Ireland ❣❣
John's wisdom is like a refreshing draught of water.
45 mins of pure bliss! Thank you so much John and Phil! ❤️
Oh John! Where have you BEEN all my life! I love you I love you I love you I love you
Who is this wonderful men? The voice of God?
This is one of the most profound and simple guides to pure prayer or meditation I have heard. Marvellous. In many teachings on use of mantra or prayer words there can be a human tendency to complicate and clutter with various ways and practices. John always keeps the teaching simple and keeps it focused on the going beyond and the going into God.
I hope John is still alive. Great man.
Dear john, thank you for every word you say
What wonderful erudition on why to meditate. Thankyou from an aspiring meditation teacher in Madrid.
"when we are present, the infinite is available"
This is one of the only places we’re you find positive comments

When you hear his voice, you end up with your face on the floor, bottom in the air.
Goodnight

breakt rooffer ???
It all seems so simple when the Master John Butler explains it.
If I ever told my life's story, I'd want him to narrate it!
If you have the IQ of an idiot, I suppose it does.
Brilliant from John this is one of the best from the man 👍👍
Hello person scrolling through the comments respect an protect this man and show him more love than he deserves:)
I never know how to truly thank you, but a comment would just be as appropriate as any.
Thank you for these wonderful videos and giving us the hope for the future as we let go of the past and just be present. I've thought of taking depression/anxiety pills before but never liked the idea and struggle to look for a more natural approach. 2 years ago I stumbled across your videos and I've never been happier and calmer. Within my struggles I've found ways to help others with their own, even if it's just for the moment it made them happy, and that's all I could ever ask for.
Thank you John, you're a beautiful human being and wish for nothing but the best for you.
Peace be with you,
Jacob F.
P.S.
Terribly sorry for the long comment!
I digress 😂
I wish you well my friend
He still hasn't turned to dust. This man is legend.
What a Wonderful Soothing and Intelligent Influence this Man is. With all the Lunacy, Manupulation and self indulgence happening in world right now...Its Never been more Important to share postings like this. Thank you.
Wow......today's lesson is so great, it is really I want to see, thank you from my heart💖💖Meditation is the essence, theoretical knowledge is the foundation, thanks again!! God bless you John🎈🎆
🦋🙏 thankyou so dearly, from belgium
i just found your channel and im so glad i did! what an awesome voice you have. and your calmness is so relaxing. 😊
John, I have a question that I hope you can answer. If Phil or anyone on chat can answer this question of mine I am open for any answer I can get.
For many years I've dealt with my own depression/anxiety and when I found these videos I had a different view in life for the better, so no more interal pain of my own accord.
With the current movement of protests to change our system I see my friends arguing with one another, some being lashed at for their own opinions and some who lash at others. With tensions rising my heart aches in pain to see my friends at each other's throats. I've done what I can but some don't seem to want to reason. It breaks my heart to see it unfold in front of me.
I guess my question would be: "Any advice to deal with the stress and tensions from seeing your loved ones hurting?"
Any advice from anyone would gladly be appreciated. Thank you John. Thank you Phil (you don't get enough credit for helping out!). And thank you commenters.
Bless your hearts,
Jacob.
P.S.
Sorry for the long comment, I digress.
I guess at times like this we must continue working on ourselves, continue looking inward and healing the scars which we have carried for so many years. More often than not it is these scars which will exaggerate the negative response we have to outside events.
All we can do is provide information which might help ease the anger/tension of these arguments, and then it is up to the individual whether they want to take your advice/information on board. After that, if these arguments and tensions continue, along with the detrimental effects they have on you, then really you must do your best to remove yourself from these situations/conversations. This is self-love. Love does not involve putting yourself in a position where it seriously negatively effects you.
Continue growing and healing and one day you will be able to face these external negative situations from a place where they no longer effect you, allowing you to be able to deal with them a lot more effectively. This will benefit not only yourself, but also the people you are aiming to help 😊💖✌.
The worldly concerns are as much yours as you make them. John has said in other videos that you can’t change the world. It will always have problems and thoughts.
Another wise person told me, ”be in the world, but not of the world”.
Don’t concern yourself. And I know that’s easy to say, but misery loves company. Your bickering friends might try to drag you into the debate, preferably to join their side. I’ve seen a lot of picket signs that say ”silence is violence” and things like that. This to me, is vicious and sinister. They try to villify everyone who chooses not to get involved. Suddenly you become guilty by having done absolutely nothing but to stay away.
This is when you need to be strong and steadfast. Just try and keep your calm. Let them yell at you, let them criticize, the them accuse you. When they are gone, you do what I bet John B. would do. Enjoy the silence. Other people’s turmoil doesn’t have to be yours.
@@My2Cents1 well said!
John hitting the late night uploads
I don't know exactly where John is but in Britan its 10 o'clock and I think he's in Britan
Correct me if i'm wrong
In Bakewell, Derbyshire, UK and I have a slow connection! Phil
Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler Hey! Works for me, I tried this mantra method in nature last night and think I’m really getting somewhere. Thanks to you and John for the great work Phil!

John Butler is the gift of love and innocence to humanity. Thank you so much for who you are John. I live with your videos and gain so much calm and peace through them. God bless your beautiful being.

Love you💗
Thank you so much for all these wonderful video's John and Phil 🤗
Thankyou John !!! I love ❤️ your videos.. please continue 🌈❤️🙏
I knew John would laugh in reaction to the first question. 😂
So soothing x
Thank you.
Big help for my soul
A face to face meeting with be something to remember.
I put Mr John Butlers lectures and sleep peacefully every night.
He has an amazing calming voice.
I have love this series of videos.
I learn so much from these videos and I see John as a kind of educator. I wonder if John has any videos or ideas about the ideals surrounding teaching?
As a university student in education I'd be very interested to see what he thinks about the topic :)
Thank you John, you gave me the answers I needed 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank You, Lord, for this Man!
3:35 Words to live by...thank you kind Sir.
Stumbled on him by chance but if you cant sleep listen too him you soon will.... Topman john and actually he talks alot of sense..
Yes the attention focus seems so profoundly true. Even recently everyone I knew who loved the virus got the virus. Another friend I have thinks and talks about parasites all the time and has a new one every time I see her. This is such a great talk.
V useful info for an aspiring meditation teacher. Thank you. JGD
Thank you, John.
John you’re an artist!
45 min and it went like in few seconds.
I sign my name here 😊💟💪
I have watched today again and it was completely different experience. I used Ma-ra-na-tha mantra and "me" have vanished and I perceived that as being very long time when it lasted just 45 min of the video - I opened my eyes exactly on the ending of the video... funny but it all seemed blurred and very lucid once I returned.

Thanks John and Phil for your work ,I'm glad to see John's recent videos are still going great nothing wrong with changing it up here and there keep up the good work also hope John's in good health it's not easy right now but again prepping Wich alot of people are going at the moment with the whole situation the spiritual legwork is the foundation of mitigation to anything God forbid that may happen in this conflict God bless and stay safe everybody .
Thank you John.
Just as the Bible says be swift about hearing and slow about speaking I can see how this relates to silence
Thank you again 🙂
Ahhh what a lovely man :)
Excellent!. Thanks.
This one really goes in depth I feel so charged and peaceful when I am able to go through many worm holes and Galicia’s and be among all the star children that are gathered and be spiritually lovingly greeted by them This was a once experience consciousness can take you for a beautiful earth ride eyes wide open full of love on this earthly plane as well I always regret being taken back to this world however I am here as long as I have breath The only true everlasting pleasure is being loved unconditionally in Christs oneness
“Meditation as a more healthful version of the biscuit tin”. If my Nannan was a proverb this would be it ! ❤
thank you
Longer videos are the best!
I don't carry any notes with me either,if I can't tell it from my heart I ain't telling it.
Tem luz própria 🙏
This is a nice return to form to your longer videos
Yes, sensei
im still hear listening
"When we are present, the infinite is available."
Thank you so much for sharing freely.lovely space this man inhabits,a space beyond time. On the subject of this mantra,I personally wouldn't use it as it can become a mind exercise as well as mindfulness as even eckharte Tolle said "mind full",it doesn't take you deep enough,be careful it's still a trapping of the mind.
i prefer mindlesness
Greetings from Germany. I would really love to meet you. One day it will happen.
Great video
goal: relax
obstacle: hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmm hmm
Hmmm.... Mhm.... Mhm
I love it when I don't have to try to stop thinking, it just happens without realising it.
Best ASMR vids out there.
Wonderful and inspirational man
I totally get what John is saying about meditation. The problem 99.999999999% of us have is that we are addicted to thinking with our egoic mind. And as John has said many many times meditation is about letting go. I'm really curious to know if John knows about Eckhart Tolle and his teachings because they are both on the same page. Thank you John.
Practice and patience
Ja, seh ich auch so.
It’s funny the people at your retreat they want meditations so bad it’s there wants keeping them from succeeding, The Buddha said to his Students it’s your wants and your desires making you suffer, remember it is God that witnesses the kingdom of heaven through us but it is our minds thinking we’re doing it,which is called the ego.
Fianlly, thank you
You are love
There are times when I feel "absent" e.g I'l be thinking about the future and what I should be doing but when I work on my painting I just forget about anything which I feel is a burden.
It’s strange how different it can be. Whenever I create something, paint or sculpt etc, that’s when I feel the burden. ”Is this any good? How would I judge this if someone else made it? Is it turning out like I want it? Am I just wasting my time?
Sometimes I really loath making art, but I have to do it. It’s my life and livelihood
OMG I just realized that this guy IS the mantra. 😮
