Did you know 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/commonsenseguidetomeditation.
John has done more to help me with mental health issues than many years of therapy, psychologists and counselling. Whats stranger is that I am an agnostic atheist, but I find wisdom in his words regardless. John is a blessing to this earth
Can you explain what you mean? I've seen a couple of these comments on his videos but don't see the connection. Is this a Reddit thing? Sounds like a Reddit thing...
Gino Salvatelli autonomic sensory median response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation of the recipient caused by sound or touch. The sound of his voice possesses those characteristics.
Philip Johnson spot on, it’s a phenomenon that occurs with only a select amount of people Gino, so those that don’t experience the feeling won’t really understand I’m afraid
I first heard Mr. John Butler's voice this morning. And wow, I fell right back to sleep. Almost as if I melted into my bed with pure relaxation. What comfort indeed
I love to listen to him. He takes me in some kind of meditation state. I would like him to have online meditations for beginners and teach us step by step to meditate properly in the way he was tought.
The beauty, the grace, the humility, and untainted understanding of “oneness” that John expresses is a rare gem. His ability to express it so simply is grace itself. Please post more videos, and I would love to read your book. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I benefit as much from Phil as John and am so thankful for you both. Phil exudes a wonderful example of listening to understand rather than listening to respond. When the response comes through understanding and seeking clarity then it is what we see with you both "Spiritual interaction," which goes beyond the body.
Question is would he want to go through it all again?... Maybe! Knowing he's found peace in this world he would want the extra time but conversely I somehow doubt it. Would be nice to ask him the question his answer would be interesting.
I believe the only mistake I can make is to try to evaluate, or judge the situation for myself. As long as we rely on God to do so, I believe we'll be okay, and find a way to carry on. Whether by healing, or transformation, we will carry on!
How can you be the unchanging consciousness of changing stuff? How can you have an experience and yet have a consciousness unaffected by that experience? Isn't having the experience and effect on consciousness?
In my current opinion, looking for a meaning of anything in absolute terms is just a typical human attitude. But this doesn't mean that there must necessarily be. We have a complex brain, we always ask why, we are scared of our mortality and we constantly seek reassurance. I think we can only find a purpose to our life. Or, in other words, we can build our personal meaning. Despite that, I admit that seeking absolute meanings is so fascinating, like your speech. Thank you.
I wonder how many people like john walk around, 'annoyingly slow old' people , blocking the way for those in a hurry to do 'important things & have deadlines to ...etc,etc ' . Most off them do not write books, and don't need words, It are the strangers who sometimes pop up out off nowhere when you are lost or in pain .
The interviewer is trying to get ans from a person who is reached the state of self ,,the state beyong question ans ,,but still he is able to made this great men talk ,,great effort and great achievement
Much as I enjoy listening to this man (and I have only just started recently) I currently find it difficult.....having been brought up in a family who believed in God, reached adulthood and seen past the concept of God, observed many endings of lives as well as beginnings of others, the circularity of nature as well as the abandonment of physical body by loved ones, and now reached middle age.....to see myself as eternal. The observer he speaks of, as far as I'm concerned, is extinguished when the machine itself is extinguished. I so want to be where John is mentally but I can't just fool myself or magic myself into that state of 'faith'. I can meditate myself into blissful harmony with my surroundings but it doesn't lead me to believing or, further than that, KNOWING that I am witnessing pure love, pure being and the realm of the everlasting. The fact that I sm here watching means I'm searching. Whether or not I can allow myself to suspend my own disbelief and truly be in step with John remains to be seen. It must be lovely to be able to reverse what one learns as an adult and return to what seems to me to be a child-like innocence. Sorry to ruin it, folks!
It’s cool (and wonderfully ironic) that you quote Douglas Adams, who was Atheist, yet so wise and with lots of insight. The answer to Life, the Universe, and everything in THGTTG, is 42. But the answer was calculated by a computer. The answer was the absolute truth, but nobody knew what to do with it. Even the computer was wise enough to realize that if don’t know the scope of the question or what it means, how can you make any use of the answer? It’s so symbolic for mankind.
He is real-life Gandalf. ”...and then the gray veil of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass.... and then you see it. White shores, under swift sunrise... and beyond.” I can hear him say these words with the same amount of conviction.
John seems to have learned TM like the Beatles and others. It's strange to me that John Butler (and John Lennon), Paul McCartney, Ringo, Jagger etc.. have all been practicing TM for over 50 years. John B is so different to them. So I wonder does meditation affect people in different ways?
ppcasey9 I always used to pronounce the word suffice as suffix... I used to get confused... I was young... by young I mean 25, and by used to I mean last week...
Well 42 is a very good number for the meaning of life. It’s in the Bible too, Matthew 1:17! It must mean something or it wouldn’t be in the New Testament.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 King James Version (KJV) 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Daniel Decker burping or farting lol. This guy comes across as being very kind and a decent human being. He is obviously prone to the odd bottom burp but thats cool by me. :-)
i need an answer from John. i was told by a doctor that the tibeten book of the dead states that people who have had a Near death thing and did not start acting right, then that person will roam the earth for 2,000 years! i need help please.
@@SpiritualUnfoldment yes, i was hit by a truck trying to push it out of the snow. i never got hurt, just like i got picked up and set up right, instead of having my head run over... then i got angry, very angry at the person who did it. my life changed after that. i am tormented daily by other people and i saw the sun split into 2 side by side spinning wheels of color , it was beautiful. but my family and friends thought i was going to kill myself because i was hallucinating. i just want some sleep and to know i am NOT going to live 2,000 years. please help.
what would happen if i could kill myself? i never sleep any more and i have been healed of a 23 year pain... my lungs have cleared from smoking for over 45 years and pills do not help me to sleep. i have taken many pills at once and i do not even get tired...
Cozying up to knot knowing ? That’s awareness without thought Ah ya the knower behind the thought ? It’s the Christ the oneness of all Make friends with uncertainty make it your buddy
John? Can I find stillness or "this other" in Facebook? Does the divine present itself in my s9+? What would someone as wise and cheerful as john do, if he were captured and tortured by someone like Ivan Milat? Would he simply chuckle, as Ivan presents his Bowie knife to John - who is tied to a pine tree in the forest, and recount a story about his past? Would he warmly appeal to the serial killer to "put the knife down lad. Sit. Melt into stillness. Because...that's all there is, isn't it? You see?
See for yourself - stillness and movement co-exist, like two wings of a bird. As countless martyrs and Jesus Himself have shown us, the flesh may suffer but it comes to pass. The peace is undisturbed.
Spiritual Unfoldment i am about to settle down and watch your videos again. My love to you John. I will soon make purchase of your books. I cannot wait to read them. I am in Australia but it would be an honor to meet you in person. I seem to be writing in short. Abrupt. Sentences!
OSKARSY11 Well he is a Christian and if you seek Jesus Christ you would know the answer to that question. Wether it is Roman soldiers or a serial killer they cannot seperate you from the love of the Father.
I want to believe this. However, if I had been unfortunate enough to be stuck at the top of the wtc in sept 2001 as it burnt, knowing that I had to either jump or burn, I'm fairly certain that I would have been filled with panick and dread, and not with love for 'the father'? In fact why would 'the good father' place humans in such torturous scenarios? If connecting with god is the antidote to fear and hatred, why isn't god being proactive and simply showing himself? No doubt you will say that HE IS SHOWING HIMSELF, we just need to SEE him, why doesn't god simply MAKE us see him? Solve all the problems right????
OSKARSY11 I am glad you responded back because after I responded I was worried I'd come across as a jerk. If I did I'm sorry. Your questions are valid really. You are asking the basic questions we all ask. I don't want to sound generic but I kinda have to when I say the answer is in the bible. Our human history, our fallen nature and how we got to present day America in all its complications beginning with God's relationship with Abraham. It gives purpose and reason to what is confusion to most people. Think about if you saw a ghost or an alien lol. In your mind you say ok I'm just gonna tell people and they will believe me and thats how it will be. In reality no one believes you unless they themselves have experienced the same. In fact you are forced to hold back what you know is true for fear of criticism and rejection. In a sense that is the Christian experience. Believe me it is The Truth and Jesus Christ can save you but you have to first seek and approach Him. Like I said your questions are valid ones but don't start off so complicated. Learn who God is and start there. Eventually you will find answers and comfort. If I could recommend something to you it will change your perception of life in God. Read "The Confessions of St Augustine" by Saint Augustine. You are a thinker as was he and you will truly hear what he is saying. Look I am no work of perfection myself lol but if I can help email me if you want. gagliano033@gmail.com
Love listening to death cult talk that is the desert religion christianity. Let go of the physical realm, don't help preserve nature and try to make a difference, it just leads to disappointment. Meditate with god and let it all go, spread the desert brotha!
So if your soul is your eternal self and not the body/thoughts you experience why is it referred to as your soul/my soul etc.Your/my is a possesive term.Clearly it's beyond logic.....Me none the wiser
The only way to heaven is through jesus christ our lord. We first need to acknowledge we are sinners and realize we need christ to forgive us of our sins and believe jesus died so that we didn't have to.
Thanks Huckleberry. I seem to have heard this before somewhere - it sounds a bit ... err, regurgitated. Try giving it a freshness in your own words. John has done a video 'Dying to sin' - ruclips.net/video/Imj3vS93vTQ/видео.html. What is sin to you? Phil
I love John so much but with this video I feel like I’m watching an old interview of Charlie Manson sometimes. I mean no disrespect. I think Charlie was a Mystic wannabe
I love his message & sprit, but i find it a challange to overlook his annoying habit of smacking & clicking his mouth, toung & lips, its sems so self gratifying, they should put the mike away from his throat,, terrible annoying,,
What does it matter. ..?? We interact with life as we do currently and we will become what we become. . Initially I was intrigued nevertheless. .sorry. .
John is trapped in his own mind That keeps snacking his lips.. The other guy keeps sniffing And John keeps snacking..)) It's all good and he keeps mentioning his hands.. I'm done.. haha.
Who is John Butler exactly? I don’t mean to be rude but everything he says isn’t very profound or inspiring. Everything he says is very brief with no substance to it. Seems like a lovely man however and his voice is relaxing. Bob Ross still the king of ASMR for me
John spends far too much time analyzing everything.Concern himself with his 'afterlife' if he gets there.We all have dreams of course.But enjoy what you are capable of enjoying on earth.Where you know things are real.Phil's got the right idea.
John,like many mystics,would say he's not concerning himself with the afterlife but having direct experience of the devine in the hear and now. Becoming familiar with eternity in this life,the mystics would say,means death is inconsequential......maybe.Personaly I hope so
The guy who is not John Butler is superfluous. I respect him as a human being, but he has to know that we're not watching the video because of him...right? The Q&A could happen in the same fashion without his presence breaking up the Butler stuff.

I hope there is a portrait of this man because we should never lose his image. What an intellect he is. Lovely man.
I think our bodys are instruments for our souls to develop and mature.
Kevin Cooper I’ve often thought the same
I really think this guy has it all figured out. I wish I could give him a new body so he could get another 90+ years knowing what he knows.
he'll still know after the body dies.
I doubt he’d take you up on that.
Question is would he want to go through it all again?... Maybe! Knowing he's found peace in this world he would want the extra time but conversely I somehow doubt it. Would be nice to ask him the question his answer would be interesting.
There's no point hanging around after you've done the course, passed all the exams, graduated etc etc unless you want to help other people
I love you John. Thank you for sharing.

What does it matter. ..??
We interact with life as we do currently and we will become what we become. .
Initially I was intrigued nevertheless. .sorry. .

John is trapped in his own mind
That keeps snacking his lips..
The other guy keeps sniffing
And John keeps snacking..))
It's all good and he keeps mentioning his hands..
I'm done.. haha.
Does he not look like Merlin? Namaste 🙏 a reincarnation of Merlin ☺️ 😛
Who is John Butler exactly? I don’t mean to be rude but everything he says isn’t very profound or inspiring. Everything he says is very brief with no substance to it.
Seems like a lovely man however and his voice is relaxing. Bob Ross still the king of ASMR for me
What a shit comment
Lion Of Judah - Almost as shit as yours fella 👍🏻
@@Ponty_Paul - I think yours is shitter tbh 🤔💭
Welsh Azor Ahai Yours is definitely shitter bro 😉 Lion won the Internet
John spends far too much time analyzing everything.Concern himself with his 'afterlife' if he gets there.We all have dreams of course.But enjoy what you are capable of enjoying on earth.Where you know things are real.Phil's got the right idea.
John,like many mystics,would say he's not concerning himself with the afterlife but having direct experience of the devine in the hear and now. Becoming familiar with eternity in this life,the mystics would say,means death is inconsequential......maybe.Personaly I hope so
John is an interesting guy, but I must be the only person who finds the noises his mouth makes incredibly distracting and irritating.
The guy who is not John Butler is superfluous. I respect him as a human being, but he has to know that we're not watching the video because of him...right? The Q&A could happen in the same fashion without his presence breaking up the Butler stuff.
