I love his total humility and lack of ego...I have trouble sleeping and though I listen to and appreciate his words, their is such a lack of chaos and such an abundance of calmness that it soothes me into relaxation and then sleep. When I was a child, learning about the holy trinity, John Butler looks exactly like the image of God the father that I imagined st that time...
Been stuck in my mind a lot lately with OCD thoughts and anxiety getting progressively worse, but watching these videos always bring me back to stillness. Thanks John and Phil

I recently found out that someone I considered family did something entirely unforgivable. I'm reeling at the fact they lied for so many years and I'm adjusting to the rest of my life without them. I've decided to become the person I thought they were. I've decided to do my best to protect those around me and stop people like them from harming any more. I refuse to let this person's mistakes make me a worse person. I will be better than them.
He's a really sweet old man, so calm and spiritual. He has not allowed himself to be corrupted by the perils and chaos of this 21st century earth. He has reached a mindset that so few will EVER reach.
I think both of you are a bit off. He’s not perfect and he’s damn sure not talking fairy tales. If you think nothing he says is of any value or truth, then it just shows how limited your experience really is. We can only see a small percent of what exist. Science itself will tell you that is so.
I don’t think anyone can judge the experience of another. To you it’s all fairytales but to those who have seen what they perceive as higher existence, it’s all very real. And then there are those who have seen nothing but choose to believe in it anyway. They’re of course all fools to you. But that’s your mindset. You say John has never done anything for the world, and from listening to him, I think he would agree with you. It’s part of the philosophy to not engage with the world. It’s exactly the message he conveys. Others here will probably disagree with John, and say he is doing a lot of good for a lot of people.
@Corvus Morve I had the same opinion as you, I am an atheist but the more I listen to him the more I see that he does not speak about God/Jesus in the way in which j was rared with, he speaks at a deeper level of theory, thought and spirit (i use spirit here lightly). Contribution can be measured in many ways but what I do know is that he has contributed a lot through RUclips, maybe that counts perhaps?
@Corvus Morve and corvus, if I could be so bold, what is it exactly that you yourself have contributed to society? Do you also hold youself to these high standards?
From approx. 27 mins onwards is some of the most deeply thoughtful and moving analysis of our human condition. It would be a great comfort to those who are loosing people close to them. Thank you both for this.
John, your videos soothe my soul. Whenever I'm feeling lost, down and all alone, your words remind me of Love. You are truly a man of God, a man of love because that's what it's all about, that's why we are here. So thank you, I hope you know how special you are to many people. Much love from Ireland. 🍀 God bless you. ❤️ To everyone out there struggling, please love yourself because when you start with self love it radiates to everyone and everything around you. ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been in a certain situation for the past three days dealing with trust and ruminating on my own and low and behold this video pops up and is giving me more wisdom to live by! God bless you guys for your endless wisdom and advice! 🙏🏻💙
This Elder has a brilliant mind. Was gonna leave but couldn't stop listening. That's one thing elders have on the today's young people is knowledge and wisdom.
Beautiful John........a wonderful person. I so look forward to your videos. You speak from the heart and with depth and compassion. I will come and see you in church very soon xx
You are a true example of practicing what you preach...I love just the way he quietly yet excellently and effectively speaks thereby displaying the Love and affection of the spirit of Godliness...
This is great way to use of RUclips. It brings back ' Wise old men & women', like john. They used to preform a function in society,. where counseled by rulers and lawmakers , taught morality too children trough stories etc etc, Now they are ignored at best ..( Offcourse there where mean & dumb elders as well,...but let's stay nostalgic :))
Love John! What a wonderfully beautiful soul. Closest thing to an idol I have. Phil is such a great conversationalist and accommodator to John's wisdom too. I love these videos.
His hearty laugh always reminds me of Santa Claus, I feel blessed to have found him. I don’t meditate but get such comfort from these videos. Thank you
I've just found you and I am amazed in what a humble great person you are. Thank you for offering this to us as a teaching experience. Many years of health and happiness to you my dearest.
Thank you for your time John and Phil. I'd never considered meditation before I saw your videos. Now there are several times a day I just take time to feel the peace around me and find my own stillness.
Letting go , surrender, simple but not easy. I practiced , practiced, practiced, my growth comes in little bits every 5 yrs. I'm considering attending your silent time. I've spent the last 20 yrs alone, but growing into what you speak of.
I have never seen so much pure innocence in the eyes of an adult. I bet the eyes of Jesus looked like this. So which means God is like this. Childlike purity. I am. Thank you John.🙏 It is an honour for our paths to have cross. 🙏🥰 Wow this journey is just getting more and more wonderful. Everytime I would think I have arrived. There is no such in eternity. John you are a very bright light on my journey.💞
ahhh, i missed you all so much. i check for a new video every day, just in case. when i saw there was a new video last night before i went to bed, i felt so giddy, but disciplined myself to wait until the morning so i could start my day with it. :) thank you phil and john, so much, for these videos. they've made a huge impact on my life. i really love you two, so much. i hope we are able to meet some day.
I wonder how many people exist who are like John? There may be some out there who just don't have the gift of speaking or writing as John does. We may walk by them every day.
I think there are many more like John .among us unnoticed , I guess we, as a society , are not used listening to elders anymore.When Ýoung & Fast became *the example , Elders automatically became the opposite ..'Worthless ', .Also ,It takes a while to get them talking, ( While some don't stop talking nonsense **ahumm ;))...anyway .It takes some patience, (or RUclips,) to find these 'hidden gems;
Gratitude John and Phil. God/Goddess is well pleased. No cliques just experience that came from courage and suffering. John l look forward to meeting you WHEN I GO HOME!!
@@Badonicus You always stick with the falsehood and depravities, no surprise there ! 🤣 And _"Chris"_ ??? It's just astounding how consistently you are being used by the spirit of disorder, of slander ("diaballein" -> "diabolos"). Well, to each his own, and good luck, but unless you seriously reform yourself, I doubt that...
.....but what if you are most are more skeptical/athiest of mind? True there might be some kind of mysterious spirit energy, but sine John comes steeped in such Christian background....that's his path and outlook This is why I am kind of envious of folks who can buy into this ideology more....a great healing and soothing balm....I just can't in good conciousness with my needs for honoring truth and reality to really get behind all that. Thus...dissislusionment comes in waves...but I do appreciate his sentiment about focusing on yourself....I think about this too when it comes to grasping for partnership, for love....one would hope they put themselves "first" as a primary partne, and not get to lost in others, or to put your "faith" in them to a degree you are stuck on the roller coaster.....
What Alan Watts was to Taoism, John Butler is to Catholicism. Both blend existentialism into their respective religions, and can be regarded as enlightened spirits. Both are also full of wisdom and are a joy to listen to.
i swear the sun comes out when this man laughs. bless him
I love how you are describing it.❤😊
No thats not true. He doesn't control the sun. The sun is set on a timer
@@sepehrkosari9775 I think it was a metaphor which means he's really bright and lovely when he laughs =)

Find your spirit within. You may call on that for calm when you accept who you are.

When we go out of our minds, there's nothing left. 😊
I'm with you man I suffer from pure O. Best way is just accepting them as they come and go, try not to get stuck into rumination

Such a rare gem of a man exuding gentleness and peace.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom with a world in such need.
God bless you both.
I TRUST JOHN BUTLER!
me too!
No. Trust God. He said so
Such a wonderful gentleman full of peace of the Lord. God bless you Mr. John butler.
I listen to John on my break every day at work I must say I usually drift off…🥰
This man is a gift from God.
From approx. 27 mins onwards is some of the most deeply thoughtful and moving analysis of our human condition. It would be a great comfort to those who are loosing people close to them. Thank you both for this.
Somehow he represents innocence, for me. 💓
Back to the church. I remember sitting with you there quitely in December, but this is as close as I will get for now. Very relaxing.
I wish I could meet him!

You can really feel his being-ness and purity. Totally awesome to watch / be a part of. Thanks for uploading
‘Trust and it’s invisible presence’ and ‘Trust and it’s multitude of layers and forms’ this is good. And “know your real ‘self’..”
He speaks like an ENT! All jokes aside what a wise man!
Ent ?

“Spend half of my time looking for my spectacles.” This man is the embodiment of what it means to be British
Thank you for your insight and clarity...needed so badly in this day and age
As a young 16 year old male struggling with my social life. Watching John's videos while studying really hit close to home
