Impromptu #19 What are we? (ASMR friendly edit)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- What really are we? When we stop talking, become silent and aware of the ever presence, am I not Spirit inhabiting this body? To be what we are we must first come out of what we are not. Then we may realise 'I am not subject to time or space and neither are you'. What does Jesus call himself? 'I Am'. One. That which one is. But we need to put it into practice. Absent from presence, we scatter like lost sheep into separation. The Good Shepherd works to gather us back. He calls us to come home.

I will never forget that he grabbed my hand with his videos and pulled me out of depression :)
I appreciate the extra attention spent to make it asmr friendly. I find it much easier to concentrate when there aren't any loud noises that pop in.
Glad it worked for you. Would you like more ASMR friendly vids? Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldment Yes please!! :)
@@SpiritualUnfoldment absolutely
@@SpiritualUnfoldment yes!
@@SpiritualUnfoldment yes, thank you for the meticulous production work, Phil. I listen with earbuds to avoid disturbing others. The sudden loud sounds are painful and startling.
'Feet on the ground'
'Bottom on the chair'
'To make whole, be whole'
'Don't fence me in'
(Jesus) I am with you always'.
If I take but anything away from John, it would be that. I started listening to him for five years now at first as ASMR but now through his words. I am more calm and aware than ever. Thank you John & Phil for coming into my life.
@RJ...excellent comment. Thanks!
That's great to hear RJ - thanks for sharing. Phil
Brilliant comment.
I started about 11 months ago
Also, "The less of me, the more of God". I quite like that one.
I think in modern days, despite many more luxuries life has become so much more complicated for most people.
Agreed
John and Phil - I am completely serious when I say that your videos and the messages you share have been one of the high points in my life over the past two years. I am grateful for you and the work that you do.
highest point of my whole existence!
Thanks Eli - very humbling and makes it all worthwhile ... truly. Phil
Likewise
John Issac Butler was born on March 2nd, 1900.
@@matteomaddelenaita8172 totally incorrect
The way he talks about Jesus is so touching
This message is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Whenever John speaks of Christ I recognize he has a relationship and bond with Him. Wonderful.
I just came across this, but I adore it, and I'm not even christian- but I love how you say "Jesus is bigger than the church", it really makes me feel safe listening about genuine christian teachings ^^ ❤️
John Butler was able to explain to me simple wisdom in the timespan of an hour long video, in which I had been searching for years and years and years on end. I am forever in gratitude.
Result! Phil
“I am humbly grateful to be able to share what I love” (at 27.25).
We are humbly grateful to receive it.
Thank you John. Thank you Phil.
Thanks Anita - appreciated. Phil
I was born and grew up in Scunthorpe. I now live in California. Thanks for the guidance toward common sense, it brings me home. Cheers!
Ha, California is sorely lacking common sense these days :)
Bet that was a jump and a half mate! 🤣
What?! Is there NO common sense in California?! Phil
I'm very sorry to hear that you had to grow up in scunthorpe
I mean... Could be worse, could be from Grimsby.
I’m very grateful for all these videos, would just like to point out that many people use ASMR to get to sleep, and the volume of the music at the end of video will probably wake people up.
I like to listen to John to help get to sleep when I’m anxious, so falling asleep while listening doesn’t take away from the importance of his message, rather it gives me perspective and more calm so I can sleep.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have never, ever heard a voice that is as ASMR friendly as John's. I discovered him through looking for ASMR sounds to relax too, but have really enjoyed hearing what he has to say about life and religion. Its amazing how you can hear what's being spoken and not just hear spoken words. John is an amazing human...… God bless you John and Thank you....
Thank you Mr. Butler
His voice is soo peaceful
How nice to see another video. Even nicer to see people outside, close to each other and not wearing masks.
Not wearing a mask is the least Christian thing you can do.
I love how this “impromptu” starts with a piano Impromptu by Schubert! My favorite piece to play. Thank you for all the videos, John
Yous should record an Impromptu - we may use it! Phil
which impromptu is it? Its the most beautiful thing i ever heard.
Sorry to comment twice, but isn't this video just absolutely beautiful?❤❤❤❤....once again John has reduced me to tears xxxx
Always worth hearing again 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it, Trude. Part 2 is on the way. :-) Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldment ....will look forward to that so much. Thank you for responding Phil. Really kind of you xxx
😊 "You can say his name, He won't hurt you... "😊
Best ASMR video. The voice, the mic settings, the meaning, the simplicity, the message
Thank you John - thank you Phil! 🤗🌻⭐️
Thank you. So Comforting.
I found this deeply comforting and reassuring after a long emotional day. Thanks John…
Faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead of me, my angels are already there 🕯🙏🕯
John has given me so much love his beautiful voice and words
I really needed this tonight, thank you for making such comforting videos
Absolutely blissful john
Thank you John- I work as a teacher and after the difficulties of this pandemic- I find it hard to relax- your videos are a blessing. Again thank you from my whole heart x
Ah, im going to enjoy this one. Most relaxing voice on the internet. Cheers john.
Listening to this man speak is relaxing, informative and spiritually fulfilling. May God bless you Mr. Butler.
I do not believe in god, or Jesus, but your words make much sense John, and offer true comfort. I applaud you
Incroyablement vivifiant. Merci! 🙏🌼
This is great! Very wise words from John. I love listening to him speak because his words not only calm me but bring clarity to my mind. Or should I say, listening to John makes me present :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts on meditation because there are so many different ways to meditate that it becomes very confusing. John's explanation is simple and easy to follow, just the way I like it.
Glad it's helpful, Ryan. Phil
John (and Phil), thanks for the time you take to make these videos. It is so easy to get caught up in the "modern" world, but John shows it is very easy to be present and fully aware. I hope peace and good health are with you.
Thank you Edward. Phil
So sweet to hear your observations. This imagining the floor on the walls and on the earth, expanding deeper into the earth, is so reassuring. Literally grounding😚❤
When we are present , no doubt , no questions : thank you John , *Presence of God . Common sense

He makes my day fantastic! He calm me down and make me silent after a hard working day full of stress, noise and anger...thank you so much, Sir John Butler!
Another wonderful meditation. Thank you, John Butler!
Thank you, John.
Thank you John for re-minding us. It's all so simple, the way you put it! I've had what I'd call a couple of "spiritual experiences" in my life, however apart from a few good books over the years I've never really learnt a lot about the subject of which you speak. 12 months ago I lost my mum and only since then through watching people like yourself and Eckhart Tolle do I learn how simple it all is. Most of the time I "forget" to be present and aware, but when I do re-member, everything becomes nice, even if just for a moment. You make it so clear that all this is so simple. Thank You. 🙏
I'm sorry to hear your mother has passed. May her memory be a blessing. How wonderful you found "feet on the ground" and John and Phil, when you needed them.
@@k8eekatt Thank You 🙏
I appreciate this video and the man for existing. So calming. I need more.
Thank you for taking the time to impart your wisdom, and share your wonder with us
Thank you so much for being so considerate as to edit your videos for our pleasure. It's very much appreciated. Again, thank you!
Much love from Sweden.
Appreciate this video John, so much wisdom
John you are a gift! Thank you for your many years of wisdom and insight!!!
I love this man, he’s so wise, so friendly and above all a great teacher, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
ingilizce bilmiyorum ve ne anlattığı hakkında en ufak bir fikrim yok ama her gece onu sesinle uyuyorum .alışkanlık yaptı
Nice ❤
I’ve seen another hour long great video by this gentleman and it’s so peaceful 💯
I hope I get this wise in my faith as John
I am so grateful for this channel and the nurturing it offers. Thank you John for being true to your life’s work and its expression.
❤️ from Phoenix, Az
Muchas gracias F4L. Phil
This man is going to live forever. He has the Holy Spirit moving within him. Makes me so joyful for him. And also the fact that this is real. You just feel it watching this video. We are made in gods likeness. Our eyes, our ears. Everything we need, we already have. We have the lord Jesus. We have god. So lovely to just….. be.
Incredible I hope to meet this man one day
Live in the present and you see the need of the present and you’ll behave appropriately ♥️TRUST ♥️
Really appreciate the edits
Ah thanks - I don’t often get appreciated for my edits! Phil
Cheers again, Mr. John Butler, otherwise known as "Mr. Nothing." :)
Feet on the ground.
A lovely relaxing voice and such a wise, well travelled gentleman. He can confuse me occasionally but he knows his stuff x
Love this guy
John and Phil: These videos have been a guide for me over the past three or so years. Some might say, these are my 'early years' of meditation as mentioned in the video. Thank you kindly for all that you show the world. I hope all is well with everyone. We have not seen too much NEW content in the month of January 2022. Hope to see some new videos soon??? =] - Will
I would like to observe that it seems many of the long pauses that occur when John speaks appear to have been edited out. To me that is detrimental. Those pauses are not a waste of time that must be gotten past to get back to the spoken words, and thus to be dispensed with. They are an integral part of what John is communicating. Some of the most profound moments in his talks take place during and through those silences. I would like to see them remain and not be edited out.
I completely agree. The pauses are him coming back to the present. He likes to come back to the present every now and then as so it shan't be forgotten and lost to the whims of the day!
Thank you 🕯🙏🕯
Thank you
Absolutely perfect but the music at the end of the video wakes me up instantly 🥺
Thank God for this
Practise not to practise:-). Allow to Be. Observe love to Be embraced. Experience beyond the thoughts. Allow the river of life to live you. What a mercy. Much blessings to both💗.
Teaching the word of god while being a good content creator or the best ASMR friendly Creator

The Secret To Enlightenment
There's a reason, why we feel close to others and ourselves, when we cry. Because the tears are our united souls. Crying and sadness unites us all. From the day we are born, we all are able to cry. The only thing that makes us one, are our tears. And the mind, is the only thing that separates us. But we need to learn, how to cry with our minds. That is the characteristic of a cleansed and a pure mind. I hope this word "Anyway", guides you in being able to cry in your mind. You can become everything, that is an obstacle and thus, you can overcome it through "Anyway". Doubts, fears, guilt, pain, suffering, evil inside can be obstacles. "Become it. Overcome it." when you become, what you want to overcome, you overcome, what you want to become. Anyway is the way to become and to overcome anything. Making you able to cry with your mind. Crying is like feeling with it. Same as your soul. You don't get to cry in the soul by exclusive concentration on the heart area, but by actually feeling your crying intention, to which you always have access to.
And crying in your body, whenever the tears choose to come. Not forced but accepted. And the fact that we all can cry, is the fact, that there is goodness in everyone. Even the most evil ones, possess sadness and are able to cry. And therefore we are all linked to God. From the tear, everything is born in us. And I cry every moment, because I realized, that it is pure goodness and Godhood in an individual. Water is pure goodness. And when we die, we die a deathless death. Because water, the source of life and our being cannot die, as long as we are able to cry. This is actually the secret to enlightenment, which should not be passed on. But when you understand, that you and me are same in our united tears and souls, this secret is no secret. But that is the point in which it is a secret. Not everyone knows that we are one like water and that we are it. And that we contain everything in the universe. To end this, I quote the movie V For Vendetta: "God is in the rain.".
He speaks the words of the Lord, I can feel it, I can sense it. It makes one wonder, what is the purpose of mankind. Why do we take so much from the world, when most of what we take is not needed. Is it to make us feel successful in our own minds my Dear Lord?
Caught up in the dualistic mind, consumerism . I want the root of all suffering
@@donmilo4733 'I don't get what I want' the cause of all suffering as far I,m concerned
Your are so wise :)
Nurturing words
Great

I feel like this man should be the Archbishop of Canterbury
I dont think you can compare a carrot to a lamb i think there is something disturbing with talking about that little lamb which i sent to slaughter when it grew up.
Thanks!
Oh Mia! What a lovely gift - thanks! Phil
Indigestion of the mind. We are all guilty of this, I reckon. Blessings, kindly, C.
I think John has demonstrated better than anyone else that it really doesn't matter exactly what you call your spiritual beliefs as much as just practicing them. That it all entales the same thing - detachment. Sin, karma, duality, what goes around comes around - all different names for the same thing, and that is how we feed the never ending cycle of that which is non-consistent, that which expires and ends, or as John says "comes to pass".
The mantra of science is math. Mathematics is the be-all end-all. Regardless if we talk about energy, matter, thought, action... math is always the basic factor. The universe is one big equation, and what do all equations have in common? They need to reach zero. This is where spiritual teachers like John come in, because no matter where they originate, they relay the same often forgotten message - the only way to actually reach zero, is to remove yourself from said equation.
Thank you John. Thank you for reminding me.
john the goat
we are in times of great decption and true ignorance as what it is we TRULY R
I can never get my feet on the ground. or feel their stillness, because they are not there neurologically anymore. Do you by chance have another method for those who cannot feel their feet?
I only wish John could live forever but his words and lessons will live on always. his tombstone will read "Feet IN the ground" while we all are practicing feet on the ground
He will live forever, spirit never dies only material body does.💗
💞💖
'There's no question...is there?'.....ergh that's a question John.
♥
Guidance is of the essence :/ And these days is too many distractions, tons of stupid things trying to fix things or help but just for a couple of seconds really and then it's back to your own nightmarish reality
Wow
Didn't finish the point about Jesus because he realised how absurd what he was saying became.
You caught that, too?
Thank God for "go-to" phrases. Without them, he's got nothing. He spins those googly eyes, as if he's wondering whether or not his audience is actually buying into that gibberish. Notice how the interviewer sometimes jumps in, to decipher a profound thought?
Lazy, slurred speech, half of which doesn't make sense, trying too hard to be clever. And that God-awful lip smacking.... you'd swear he was slurping on a giant lollipop.
Despite what I've said... I don't hate the guy. Just find him to be pretentious, and using religion to make money. Spiritual unfoldment? C'mon man. Better off going to church, instead of wasting your life... meditating about "how to waste your life... thinking".
Don't forget to buy his book.
This morning we had our first "Blackcap" feeding at the sunflower seeds in the garden. A family of Goldfinches followed, and a long tailed tit. Instinctively, Common sense prevailed 😉❤ xxx
"because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen." Rom 1:25
John Issac Butler is currently 124.3 years old.
I’ve been curious as to in what context John’s grandfather would tell him “feet on the ground”? Does a tendency for spirituality run in the family or was it referring to something more practical?
This term is generally used to mean don't get carried away. A basic example would be if someone was to become famous or successful, a parent or elder may say "keep your feet on the ground", reminding you not to get carried away or take things too far.
I don't think spirituality ran in his family. His dad used to refer to his spirituality as 'mystical nonsense'. The ecclesiastical teachings John was exposed to were institutionalised I.e. compulsory Chapel and scripture lessons at school.
Another thing that helps me is dark backgrounds
Its not asmr friendly because loud music plays at the end completly shattering the sleep i was falling into.
Ah yes - sorry. I was learning then. There is now a sister channel ‘Unintentional ASMR with John Butler’ with no music and no me. Phil
