John, for some reason your voice was more beautiful and peaceful than ever. I think that even if you were talking in a dark room, we would still see you. Your inner light would shine through. May God bless you too dear John. Thank you ❤️.
Ditto to many of the grateful comments below the video!!. I, too, experience being held and comforted by your words and the wonderful STILLNESS from which they arise. YOUR PRESENCE! What a blessing indeed! ❤ I find myself smiling as I listen with quiet & alert attention. THANK YOU so much! Always humble, you inspire me endlessly to go beyond with my feet firmly planted on the ground, looking & listening. FREEDOM from suffering! YES❤
I don’t know how else I could express my feelings towards you sir but I dream of meeting you. You saved my soul, my life, my ability to love and feel. I’ve listened to you for years and I can’t put into words the storms and waves I wrestled, with ur teachings by my side. _ love Mani
Thanks for sharing it was Such a privilege to be part of the day at Bakewell - loved every minute - listening to John and singing at the workshop enjoying a beautiful sunny day. Namasté 🙏🏻
Bro. Butler, your practice has become part of my daily practice. I have also learned to incoprorate it into the liturgy at church, I bring my eyes back up to the cross and feel my feet on the floor. It is a beautiful peace of advice that I cherish. Thank you kindly
I love listening to John but my wife doesn't like the sound of his mouth when he smacks his lips together or brings his teeth together .. now she pointed it out i can hear it too now! I think it's a dry mouth.
I've been watching John's videos for about 3 years now. Keeping quiet and listening. Nothing new being said but I'm like those who need occasional reminders in a life of clutter and duties.
Some years ago I started this path of searching for Truth, and John s videos where such a gift. I will always be thankful to him.. and amazes me cos he looks younger every video! Its magic. John God bless you my brother ❤
Silence is the fulness of meaning. Profound statement. "What is the meaning of life" an answer to that question that one can only understand through direct experience. I look forward to understanding that statement one day
My feelings entirely.Where's the comfort in putting your arms around empty space.Cant see much difference between that and loneliness.But I'm prepared to believe there might be a spirit world various energies IDK ultimate unity and all that. But NOthing....Dosen't sound like much of a prospect
I love John and a good chill out session listening to the human incarnation of treebeard from lord of the rings ♥️😊 86 and always present, it gives me a lot of hope and peace ☮️😊 thank you Mr Butler 😊
What was that in the beginning? This was one of his best oration of a meditation as well as segued thoughts. The noise level was kept to a minimum in the room as well...which is always a plus.
Not only feel your feet on the ground, but feel your body weight pushing down on whatever it's on, be it a chair if you're sitting, or the floor if you're standing.
He always said he hated being in the spotlight and having people pay attention to him. I hope he's changed his mind on that and he's enjoying his newfound fame and the attention we pay to him.
You have wonderful voice but I’m afraid that is a lot of dysonanse between believing in Jesus and believing in chakras, meditation etc They came from buddyzm and yoga religion practice with a pinch of physical activities. So yoga is like a pray. More over during meditation you open a tunnel not only to let go your thoughts but you can by accident let in something evile. That is a purpose of a babtism to close your third eye to prevent you from channeling and letting inside you something dangerous You have magnetic aura and captivating voice but don’t make it your tools for turning people away from God
Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy on me a Sinner. Get them woke cats a dose of reality. Silence, like Darkness if the backdrop to Vibration and Light. Thank you good sir.
These so called spiritual teachings and the whole act of looking spiritual is quite ridiculous. The message is passed on, as always, as some sort of insightful truth, the speaker pausing at length between sentences as though to convey themselves as profoundly wise. There is nothing to be learnt from any of this since it is merely spoken about abstractly but never explained. All these concepts of presence etc. are a byproduct of doing internal emotional work on oneself over a long period of time, bringing yourself to total acceptance and peace. Talking about the aftereffects as though they are the cause themselves is just playing "Look at me, I'm a higher being". Simply sitting there trying to be part of the great nothingness is a temporary escape. Yes, we need peaceful moments to balance us but that's only part of the solution that makes us well balanced as individuals. It's a lot more complicated than silly concepts of a sort of blissful disengagement from oneself.
That’s a fairly jaundiced view, Gavin, of Johns 60 years of meditation, practice and experience. I am wondering if you’ve had an alternative experience. One of the remarkable things about John is that he has recorded his “Windows of understanding“ in 10 books now spanning 60 years experience. He never refers to other teachers other than Nature and the Bible. I am wondering who your teachers are? Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldmentYes it is and in my experience it's wise to resist the outer allure of something and look for the half-truths that supposedly explain the conclusion. John is a human at the end of the day and it is very likely enjoying the attention that he gets from all this. All these "spiritual" masters put on that same floaty act. You've got to be mentally floating in some sort of serene bliss in order to be whole and your true higher self. All you new age spiritual types just suck it all up because that's what you crave, because you're unable to embrace the darkness and full duality of life and can't find peace, seeking an escape, or you're attracted by the idea of being a master (special kind of person) because really you would like more attention. I know what motivates people on the most fundamental level and don't need a special teacher. Knowledge is just knowledge anyway. Emotional strength discipline is where the results happen. You'll get nowhere understanding the most profound of things. Actually I did read a Dr Phil book once and it was very grounding in what I would call a spiritually awakening way. The fact that you've mentioned him is telling of your disdain for cold hard truth.
@@gavinlynas2833 are you stupid? The guys name is Phil, If you don't like the comforting words John Butler is speaking, there are other places you can go wallow and whine, I understand your point of view, but we're here to relax.
