Suffering no more

- All questions are symptomatic of our not being present, but absent. When fully present, 100% attentive - mind is 100% clear, without questions, and what to do or say arises naturally. Questions are like the bleating of lost sheep. How can we deal with suffering? First, recognise that we ourselves are the cause. How? Because we've left our true Heavenly home, where it doesn't exist, and pulled the whole world down with us. We need to return home.

I love this man. He is so pure. Need more people like john!
He’s like Santa after he’s retired. 🤍
My thoughts, exactly
I couldn't agree more.
You clearly haven't listened properly nor understood a word he has said if you consider him pure.
🙏 what a world that would be if we were all like John .🙏
I found out about this gentleman while clicking on a UA-cam channel called "Pure Unintentional ASMR" where he was one of the individuals in it. And I tell you, I am so grateful to have clicked on it.
I absolutely love the pureness and authenticity of John.
You have no idea how much you are actively changing my mindset on a lot of things, and for the better.
Teaching me to be calm, lose the fear, and anxiety that life sometimes throw at me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart John.
I would love to have a chance to meet you in my lifetime.
You are truly a pure hearted person I can see.
That's how I found him too. Haven't missed a video since
Me too, this is the best channel on UA-cam for me, it compliments my spiritual path so well, I’m really grateful. 👍🏻
I agree with you
Same
In a time of stress it's so nice to hear this kind mans voice
Im happy to see that he's healthy and well. Regards from México.🇲🇽
Indeed, and I truly hope that he could lasts us for a decade at the very least.
Saludos de Tijuana Lawis!

@@lawislomeli8980 A mira que casualidad jaja 😁
For me, John and his gentle wisdom have become the best thing on the internet. I’ve found him at just the right time, I’ve heard it say that teaching comes to you, when you’re ready to learn. John takes me closer to god and that is the journey I’m grateful to be on. 🙏🏻
I hope that I grow old as awesomely as you have
First of all I do apologize for having you read out my silly youtube name, but thank you John from the bottom of my heart that you've answered this question for me.
I know a few of you other commenters have also answered my question too and I can never repay you. I have a bit of sense now gained from all this and can now gradually ease back with my feet on the ground.
Thank you John. Thank you Phil. Thank you fellow commenters.
God bless.
I feel almost addicted to your calming voice and presence. Certainly many others feel the same.. BLESS YOUR DAY 🎈
john, i hope you only spend time making videos YOU enjoy. watching you force answers out to questions that you don’t want to address kind of contradicts everything we know you to stand for. we all just enjoy the unaltered unfiltered john butler.
I'd listen to John all day long. We need more people like him. He really is a wonderful human being.
The other day I found out I had a “best friend” who was actually casting dark energy around me. I did exactly what John tells us to do. Went out in nature, feet on the ground, listened, and looked. And I felt the Presence he speaks of. I sat with it, I cried with it. I feel like a new person now with a whole new outcome on life! I will keep practicing these techniques. Love you John and Phil!
Do you know that your friend is actually just introducing you to the world, as the whole world is our shadow. John speaks about when we practice eventually we can start accepting the world into our space and dealing with it through being present.
How do you deal with you best friend now? Did u ignore or accept and deal?
@@sriluxman I just accepted that she is no longer a friend. (I learned that she was spreading horrible untrue lies about me for years, all the while pretending to be a best friend.) Upon learning this, I simply blocked her from being able to see or contact me anymore, and I feel SO much better. I no longer feel a heavy weight of negativity around me. I no longer feel the inexplainable sadness and paranoia that seemed to follow me before learning her true intentions. Nature, Stillness, and The Presence that John emphasizes are now filling that space and energy. 🙏🧿 And they can be accessed anytime, anywhere!
I had a similar experience myself so I feel for you, I was devastated by the way I was treated. Stay strong have faith and I hope you have a blessed life and happiness for here on.
@@jayleigh4642 This was lovely. Thank you so much and same to you.
I love you, Sir!
You are light!
Thank you for everything!
Dear John, Your answer here is perfectly sufficient and it also answers all future questions. It's enough for you to talk about your many unique life experiences, your insights, stories, anything that bubbles up to the surface. We can also be content with silence and simply watching the same bit of mother Nature for awhile. Peace and God bless you.🌹Thank you from my heart
I recall a conversation with a Hindi friend of mine about being vegan, he said that some very devoted Hindu's won't even eat root vegetables because harvesting them kills the plant.
Spiritual thinking is really beyond religion, religion is just a man made concept of what man thinks what God wants. John teaches us to find our own path not the motorways of scripture.
Legend, respect and inspire too many John, in our times. Carry on the good work in sharing. Grateful for your teachings and sharing.
coolest guy i have seeen in my life. His voice is just soo pretty.His videos are so good to cope with things like depression stress anger and other things i love tthis channel
Love John! You get a incredible sense of peace just listening
What a lovely and wise man. Reminds me of my grandfather who passed earlier this year. He was so intelligent and would always come out with poignant little phrases similar to 'feet on the ground' as well. Godspeed to you John Butler, you are a a beacon of light in this world!
What a sweet heart!!
Love you John!
I’d love to just sit and chat with John about life. He’s a very wise man! ❤️
Amd your cute.
@@edengaming5021 Lol thank you!
@coopsacola Are there any near Indiana lol?
@@JC-xm9wb I just feel like I could learn a lot from him. 😊
@@JC-xm9wb I feel the exact same way.
I’ve needed this man recently. My boyfriend of three years planned a vacation with me back in March. Just a week before we were set to leave, he left me for another girl and took her on vacation instead. I never got any of my stuff back and we had pets together and planned our future for three years, only for him to leave without explanation. And he says it’s my fault and calls me names for no reason. It’s been many months and I have moved on but the grief still comes out of nowhere. Deep choking sadness in my chest. Even now. Listening to John helps a lot. But I still feel like I need answers. Like I need to fill the gaping hole. I’m not sure what to do.
You deserve so much better than him. One day you will be thankful that he did this. He set you free from a life with someone so self-centred. I hope you heal and can gain happiness, without the need of another. You are whole, right now, on your own.
We are “paid” for our suffering with every flower that grows, by snow and rain, and smile from a loved one. We are paid with every thank you and “I love you”; with every sermon and soul offered up to heaven. Being in the moment, every moment, alive and aware, is the greatest thank you of all.
Awww am reminded of a poem I wrote in college about crushing grass and the life we hurt without realizing it. Such sweet and kind thoughts he mentions. This is a beautiful video, beautiful background of green colors, and how blessed we are.
crushing the grass allows the dandilions{also known as 'white-man's footprint ;D} to bloom.
@@ETHANR26 very interesting :)....in addition then, life we also help. Scholarly thought there.
@@harper6205 🙏
I live in Canada. Currently in Ottawa. Today i was walking down the street during a nice red sunset and i saw a lady doing some work in her front garden and this reminded me of a painting of an old farming family finishing up the days work in the field. And next thing you know i hear her saying to her little daughter, who was riding a little tricycle , "Keep your feet on the ground!" I smiled, thinking of you Mr. Butler! Thank you for your videos! :)
Shout outs to Phil as well, thank you Phil! :)
I hope the work you do for the world benefits you everyday 🙏🏻
I love to see the wild plants
I had been asking myself of late if the earth is a hell like realm. There is intense suffering everywhere if you are honest. I concluded that it must be a lack of presence and conscious awareness. Blindness to who or what we really are is the root cause of all. Consciousness lost in the grip of mind and ego, surely a hellish experience.
Definitely seems to make sense.
What if it was all you
I see earth as hell hence so much suffering and certainly goes with a lack of presence and conciousness agreed
I just went over that same thought this morning at 4 Am.
@@davidcedric3268 it’s you
I look forward to these videos. Maybe you can return to talking about things you choose rather than all these questions.
I absolutely agree
Love you John, thank you for bringing me wholesome content on the daily.
What struck me about the lady calling to you is how connected we all are now through the internet, a reminder perhaps that we are all one. Thanks again John for your ongoing contributions to our evolution towards peace.
I just feel like inviting this man to sit down and have a cup of tea while admiring nature and talking about numerous aspects of life. So many decades of wisdom, insight and clarity. Cheers, Mr. Butler, hope all is well
I love this man like he is my own grandfather...
I don't even need to watch one second of this to know that it's a thumb uppable video, so I thumbed it up straight away. Now to bask in the ASMRness and words of wisdom.
Just had a thought this morning about suffering and my mindset toward it. Appreciate the message. On point as always🙏🏾
This channel is gold. We need more people like him. Us!
🙏 Thank you John & Phil 🙏 it's so true we are ignorant of the suffering of Nature & to caught up in our selfish ways !! God Bless 🙏🐬🌿🌳🍀🐳🐌🐝🐄🐖🐐🌺🌞🌘🙏
this man, is so amazing. john is what humans should be, john is just Human level:99999
We love you Brother John 🙏 Your response is whole and real.. as you say don't get taken by the strength of others emotion coming your way every day... keep saying it how it is! If your answers are taken offensively by anyone.. this is only a sign there is growth for them to innerstand upon that certain subject!
Keep yourself true to your knowing of knowledge within ones self.. onelove 💗
John, U are the first to have me taking notes in a while. Good on you. I found you when Absolutely needed you most.
Wisdom is not just the wise it’s the wiser man that listens
Keep healing the world Brother John.
If there was a vote for a world leader I’d vote for you John because I think the world would be a very different place because of your kindness and priceless words,John you are a special human being my friend,keep up the great work 🏴🏴🙏
Words of WISDOM!
Thank you so much John❤️
A Beautiful Soul.
Proper night owl our John boy.
John...you have a clear mind. Empty of stuff.
That’s why it’s difficult to speak about the thoughts of the people with active minds.
As Lao Tzu said in Tao Te Ching: “stop thinking and your problems will end.”
Or even Ramana...
You are a Master 🙏
I too am very sensitive...almost to a fault. I think we must be kindred spirits. Peace and God Bless you John.
Thanks for answering my question Jon. Sometimes I wish you wouldn’t answer any more questions too. It is an endless sea of questions that pour toward you, and you are right to return to the present.
I love the music in the begging...matches perfectly with John...
This man is what Christianity is all about.
Not at all, it’s what being a beautiful soul is all about.....Not identifying with anything is what he teaches. All the masters taught people to stop identifying yourself with a label, the physical or the mind. ....I AM, 🙏🏻💜
@@oneconsc3333 Well, I disagree. I am a Christian and this is my kind of Christianity.
@@nicholasbishop6731 I understand.🙏🏼
I strive to be as calm and as observant as you Mr. Butler. I have such a temper ( lotta trauma in my life) you’ve taught me how to ground myself in the moment. Thank you! Lord bless!
I hope these questions do not stress you out too much! They can be difficult for any of us to answer and you are tackling them bravely.... Thank you so much for this video. I often feel very similar about all the life around me and their struggles.
Love your videos and you, what a beautiful soul you have, bless you
I love getting notifications when you post 💕😊 god bless you john
John, I spend my nights watching your videos. My goal is to watch all of them. I noticed that you say, "I don't know" a lot.
I admire your humble nature, but, the truth is, I believe you do know.
To put It bluntly in regards to your viewers questions, simply, all we need to do is keep our mind and heart aligned with God and all else follows. Christ tells us to seek the Kingdom of God first and everything falls into place. I am paraphrasing His word.
No matter what we face and witness from day to day, we must love and forgive. This is the best way to keep our mind and heart aligned vertically. It pleases God and He certainly honors our endurance and perseverance and showers us with comfort and peace.
Ultimately, at the end of every life span, it is all going to be glorious when we return to Heaven.
Truly, we are not sinners, we are experiencers. I mean, I understand "sin" is the ancient way of trying to get a point across.
When I had my face to face encounter with Christ In 2001, I returned to Earth to tell the tale. In my spiritual journey with Christ, thereafter, He is the one that reassured me that there is no such thing as sin. He said that it is an illusion and told me that we are experiencers.
Furthermore, He told me that every soul on Earth and the universe has a date with the Spirit of Miracle. When God's miracle enters a person's life is when the road of ego shifts pointing to the road of holiness. It is up to us to follow the glisten golden road to Heaven and when we make that choice to cross the threshold, lo and behold, we are in for a majestic spiritual awakening, which is a beautiful journey!🙏
For me, there is no going back! I consume myself with God to stay in alignment with Him. I love the comfort of His vortex or bosom, call it what you will. This helps me to own my sovereignty and keep my love, joy and peace intact.
We all need Him as world events get crazier and crazier. Peace!🙏
If this is not to be a saint, I dont know what can be. Thank you so much John. Thank you for being here in one of my darkest hours. Thank you for your kind words. Thank your for your kind voice. Thank you for being closer to me than those who are around. Maybe my spirit can listen to your kindness and open a way.
We love John
May God bless you. Thank you for sharing.
Bless you too John 🙏
I Love John!
It's never a long session with you, John! You're perfect. Thank you so much, we need your wisdom now more than ever!
♥ ♥ ♥
I have been watching you guys since a while I appreciate you guys so much John and Phil you gave me hope in my life in a time where I was at my lowest low, I was given hardships this year and I have dealt with them better than I would've without your advice, now I come to ask you for advice about love, how can we handle unrequited or unreciprocated love? Greetings from Mexico
Thank you John. God bless you.
Hebrews 13:1-2 KJV
Let brotherly love continue. [2] Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Thank you for teaching me to get into nature, being still, looking and listening....waiting on GOD and hearing the still small voice and how to enjoy just being present. You are truly a blessing.
The reason for living a good life? My answer would be - "To ease the pain and suffering of others, which will in turn, and in time... ease your own pain and suffering." And concerning lettuce and carrots...
1 Timothy:4 "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving." Love your words of wisdom John. Keep up the good fight.
God bless you until another day.
I love your videos, I have been falling asleep to them every night for the past 4-5 months and I think they are just great, your such a wise man with so much knowledge and seem like a very kind person. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for a peaceful video Phil and Mr Butler. And why no more notifications!!??
Go on john lad
these videos are really something else... i’ve watched so many of them recently almost every night now, and they have been so helpful to listen to and i appreciate them so much. i wish i could tell john myself just how great they are and i know that so many people could agree with me.
God bless you, Sir. The beauty and truth from your heart into words enlighten me to the core. Thank you.
I have two grandfathers 👴
One is late and the other is here. You made my day worthwhile 🙏💤😍
Much blessings to you too John. Love your talks. Looking forward to the next 🙏❤️😘
You are appreciated 🙏💚🌌.
Thank you for answering the people's questions. I learn so much, thank you.
Long sessions are wonderful, so it’s all wonderful and ok! We’re grateful.
God bless you, my dear 💙
If we have an empty mind, we don’t need to speak at all. There’s nothing to talk about.
The whole is whole.
The peace is peace.
An empty mind is heaven.
Thank you so much for giving me a chance perhaps to get myself together and at least pointed in the right direction
Bless you Carl. Phil
Thank you.
You bring me so much peace. Thank you so much.
I believe we should trust the process. Life is chaos and order. We have to accept the two if we are to live. Chaos and order are part of the process and when we fight it - try to evade it - try to understand it, we are only trying to evade life itself.
Thank you John and Phil. I’m so grateful I stumbled across these videos. 🙏🏼
Listen and look Mr Butler Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart u game me back my self love!!!!! tytyty sir!
We love you John and Phil!! Thanks for your videos.
Feet on the ground.. Amen!
Been watching JB nearly from the start. Like everyones wise man of the villge.. Be nice if we all had a friend like this to go to in times of need.
I like this guy
We love you John Butler. I hope you arent unhappy x :)
