I just discovered John Butler on UA-cam last night via asmr but found myself wide awake listening to his wisdom.... and I've been listening to him all day feeling so peaceful and calm. I'm a forever fan now. And John, I have always felt like I didn't seem to belong with people either. I've learned how to be okay alone, but from time to time, it still makes me wonder, until I heard you talk about it. Thank you for all the wisdom you share. Your like watching a crackling fire, consuming my attention and warming me from the outside in, covering me in comfort and peace.
One of my favourite quotes by him... Which I just randomly heard but listened to it so often by now, I can say it by heart: "What is the purpose of it? Well, if I was to ask you, what you really really want, deep down in your heart, more than anything else in life... I wonder what you'd answer. ... And not everybody gives the same answer of course. But if you just bear in mind, what that answer would be for YOU...- It might point you in the right direction." *smiles in silence. :)
As much as I'm grateful for John and Phil for these videos, I also appreciate all the kind, honest, reflective, calming and at times humourous comments below each and every video. This is a good place. Bless you all.
i think its virtually impossible, to contribute hateful comments on here. the most negative thing i've noticed is the "we need more and longer and why doesnt john fulfill my ego desires" and such, and the usual quibblequarrel from those who post christian comments and those who need to tell them they're dumb because jesus and god are fairytales. but i guess, we can live with those. we all are here to learn.
My grandparents owned a farm on the outskirts of a small town in mexico. I remember visiting them as a kid and always staying up late with my grandad. We would always sit In the patio in complete darkness, staring out into the crops and fire flies. He use to tell the best stories of his childhood. Just like you. Felt as if I was there with him. Things I would never forget (How dark it got, how quiet it was, how fresh the air was, how bright the moon was, the amount of stars there were and the smell of whiskey fumes coming from my grand pops lol) sending you love from Losing Angeles and thank you for these videos 😊
Been watching this man on here off and on for the past four years. Every time I watch his videos, I always get a sense that everything is going to be OK somehow. Thank you John for these videos and your wisdom. 🙏🏼
I CALM down the moment I listen to him. Goosebumps.... his voice touches the very essence of one's soul. Simply watching him being so comfortably quiet and serene puts my mind at ease. That monkey mind stops and I smile, as if everything makes sense now. Just wondering what it would feel like to sit in his presence, when he is quiet. This way he seems more empowering. Yes I am a look at the sky, sun, moon, star person and now it's him.😌Look at those eyes. As if they can see the stillness beyond this Universe.
The source, the oneness,the indescribable....thats where John helps you to. Its our natural state and where we find peace. As John says we have all fallen from grace as a people and need to connect back and dwell in this place of total love and peace. Only there will humanity find true eternal happiness
Just want to say that I really appreciate your unique presence in this world. Although we haven't met, I feel like you know me and that I know you too. All the best ❤
Every Night I listen to your voice and I’m so greatful to have acesss to ur videos , I wish I could have a guided meditation with you someday but I live on the other side of the pond in nyc lol . Be blessed John
Schubert’s music is among the most radiant and divine in existence. Hearing his 3rd Impromptu at the opening of each of these wonderful videos is it’s own mantra…a peaceful reminder of the spirit that connects us through time and space. Thank you for sharing.
I put his videos on while I'm driving in my car. I just let them play and I just listen to his soft voice in the background whether I understand everything or not -because I'm paying attention to the traffic - it just calms me and soothes me right there in the middle of the day. I actually feel safer when driving in thisstrange world today of cellphones and texting you never know what people are doing and I just feel safer with his voice in the background.
Dear John, you sir are a shining diamond of light and empowered love energy sharing the light that is you...I only discovered you last night, listened with a warmed heart as you shared and spoke of some of your life experiences...How inspiring you are for me, presently myself going through a similar process of finding my way back into life after a long time of self excluding from our very fast paced society... Sending you many many un diluted Rays of Love and of infinite Light...And to say thank you for being such a beautiful and sincere person , how amazing you are .. 🌍
God bless you John. I have been watching these videos for some time now. I feel compelled to let you know how grateful I am for the insight and message you share with others. I was raised in the Anglican church in Canada but like so many of my generation who have been raised in secular and capitalist society I was led astray from the church. For a long time I identified as agnostic... not wanting to address the subject of belief. The great love you share with others in you videos has led me back to God and for that I thank you.
Dear my! I have been diagnoest with complex PTSD just none going from childhood. And when I can finally relax my mind it is filled with bad memories and fear. I’m a prisoner of my own mind and Im afraid of it!
it puts me into a rapture to hear those words John is the most quiet exciting movie I don't watch tv anymore I want to listen to him the modern Meister Ekhart .thank you Phil ,
I love how my attention is starting to move into my body automatically whenever I'm still. I feel such a nice feeling grow inside sometimes. & the peace of just listening and feeling the inside of my body... I'm in love!!!
I treated my body badly for many years. Never paying attention to it or the poor treatment i was giving it. Having awakened and become so self aware so much recently has been a beautiful experience, but my newfound awareness brings me fear that i have damaged this body beyind repair. Although, i do take comfort in knowing that it is just a vessel, and being aware now gives me the chance to make a better future for myself.
Your videos never seems to fail me. I doubt they ever will. You are truly God sent for individuals like myself. Someone who needs a "pick me up" every other day to stay spiritually focused and aligned. Thank you John
Years of depression for me, in my 30s, same as John and his Mother, and I also woke up one day and it was gone. 15 years ago. I fought it for years...when I stopped fighting and let go, it left. So hard to do in the midst of it but the more you fight it, the more power it it gains...is the only way I can explain it. And that doesn't help anyone in the midst of it because you feel like you must fight against it.
Very clever touch using Schuberts 4 Impromptus No. 3 as the opening song! Especially since it's favorite one and the only one I bothered to actually learn on the piano myself.
it's also wonderful knowing,,, that what the wise man understands and knows,,is that we also know...he's just telling is exactly what we already know..we're just to lazie to expose what we know!..
Love John Butler & his videos are made all the more special coming from Derbyshire, my home county, although I now live in Ireland. Beautiful place wonderful man
This one one of my favorite videos of John's. He is a natural ASMR speaker, but if I really want to relax and drift off, this one fits the bill to a tee.
“Just small light touches with your fan brush....there we go ....and maybe a little stream will go through it....and we’ll take our knife and put some small bushessss .....right by our stream...

Beautiful talk. Thank you. I’m hearing a high-pitched mechanical whine and some crackling. I don’t know if it’s my phone or in the recording. It diminishes the utter peacefulness of John’s energy. But it’s still quite wonderful. Maybe I can use the interference as an aid for concentrating.
You suggest that man is a sinner. Are you also acknowledging that our spirit, which is who we really are is divine. We discard the body eventually. We are living in it for a short while. If we tune into spirit through stillness/ meditation then we transcend the “sinful” body. Is the aim to integrate the “sinful” body with the divine spirit until we realise that what we really are is pure love. The main thing we can do for this “ sinful” body is honour it and look after it as best we can. Thank you for food for thought. As you say, beyond intellectual understanding.

Taunya ... you have found a lifetime gift here. John’s wisdom, gentility and kindness bring me solace daily.
I discovered him one or two months ago the same way. Welcome and enjoy ☺️
Thats very poetic 😀
John Butler could give me directions to the men's room and I'd come away feeling like he'd provided some life-changing wisdom.
It's wonderful knowing that John Butler exists.
It really is
Yep
💯🔥
Worst microphone ever, though. Whizzzz
THANK divine holy spirit for John reflecting it's a beautiful essence

It is a wierd thing to say but if you think too deep into it, it kinda starts to make sense lol
He's even calmer than Eckhart Tolle...A true contemplative

How I loved reading about your experience! ❤️❤️❤️
👏💗🕊️☮️
His voice so soothing helps me fall asleep and yet his wisdom keeps me wide awake.
Perhaps Nature will resolve the awake/asleep dilemma, by having you lying there with one eye closed and the other one open!
The ASMR is strong with this one
Trouble is, I get woke with the content.
I feel John is perkier then he used to be. I think all this teaching and you tube videos is good for him! Gives him energy...
_that’s foolish!_
How do?
If I would ever meet John Butler, I would come up to him and ask him no questions.
I've met him and I tend to agree with your assumption.
He would love that
I sure would
I would smile, stand for a moment, and then ask only one thing
"Please, may I have a hug?"
@@meekomania457 lucky
An hour-long video? What a treat!! Thank you John and Phil, you're much appreciated.
a lot of his older videos are around this long too so there you go
@@thinginground5179 Yep. Though this one is new.

John is the warm or cool breeze that tickles, awakens and soothes on a day in the fields. The fields being our consciousness.
If we ever needed this amazing man and his wisdom it’s now please John be our guide through this torrid time
john butler remembers-me of Gandalf from lord of the rings. great mind heart and speaker of stillness, inner peace, contemplation and meditation
I'm speechless.
No words can express my gratitude to you and to God for your wisdom 🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️❣️❣️ God bless you

When he said: "feet on the GROOUUUND"
I felt that.

Thank you Sir. Love and gratitude. Be safe, always.
So good to see bigger videos from John. To see what John speaks in the meetings with people. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🙏😌
Such an inspiration listening to John. Pulls you back to a state of relaxation again. Thanks John
Dear John thank you for another beautiful talk. God bless you my dear.

Ευχαριστώ John Butler. Your lectures are so edifying.
I'm starting to repeat myself, but every video, every teaching of John I'm watching is pure treasure.
Thank you! When the student is READY, a teacher appears. Thank you, John.
I could listen to John butler all day long
Protect this man at all costs
John is extremely wise and humble. A gem of a man.
Your focus determines your reality. Very true, sir, very true.
So the rich and powerfull must be very gracious in their focus.Funny how they often behave considering
Dear my! I have been diagnoest with complex PTSD just none going from childhood. And when I can finally relax my mind it is filled with bad memories and fear. I’m a prisoner of my own mind and Im afraid of it!
The gentle voice of wisdom and reason, to an angry World.
He just appeared on my you tube page, from nowere ?. He blows me away. His voice, his persona just grips me. He is beautiful .
Glad you found your way here - there are 300 videos to get to know! Phil

Feet off the ground!

Terrific video as always John, I'm thrilled you're doing well
The 1 dislike is from a person without their feet on the ground..
what happens if you don't have feet to put on the ground 🤔
@@meekomania457 ay that’s mad 😑😂
Probably someone who got jarred awake by the piano at the end. 😖
. Don't ya hate that?
Maybe they didn't like being told to put their feet on the ground coz were sitting in front of some quicksand.
May John live forever. Such an inspiration soul he has.
Best wishes from Croatia
God bless you 🙏🏻

Phenomenal video, thank you for it
“Never without help really”... so powerful. We are Learning to Be humble to realize and understand the help around us. So mind, heart and eye opening.
Some of the most relaxing, pleasant sounding jibberish on the 'net. Thumbs up!
John, I've watched your videos from your very first one. I think it's great how your channel has grown. Thankyou🙏
I enjoy listening and watching you sir. I like what you say about farming and nature. I learned much about the seasons when I was a gorilla grower.
I love this! Thank you John. ❤️🇨🇦
Brilliant, loved this. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
He just s so lovely.
I wish the microphone wasn’t making that sound.
Such nourishment ♥️
I'm going thru psychosis and without you, Mr. Nothing, is that every video is as amazing as the last
it's also wonderful knowing,,, that what the wise man understands and knows,,is that we also know...he's just telling is exactly what we already know..we're just to lazie to expose what we know!..
I agree with most except for the lazy part. I would call it lack of courage to be authentic.
Thank you, John.
