It's 3:30 am here and I couldn't sleep. I checked my notifications and lo and behold, John has cranked out another beautiful and insightful video. Peace to you all 🕊. From the USA.
I am so grateful of the natural world as I walk in the woods through the trees and hear the birds and feel the wind that it brings me to tears, and I am not ashamed of it. Why do we find nature so beautiful? Because we are it and it is us, as John wisely teaches us. We are connected.
I love stillness, peace and simplicity! It is God's glorious essence of Spirit and Heaven. Love, light, life and truth are the only energy forces that are meaningful. I am, you are, we are love and light and this is life and truth. We are eternally connected in Spirit. It's majestically beautiful!
God bless you John you are a revelation. God uses you as a conduit for us to come back to his peace and tranquility. As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
He is more than just “sleep ASMR” he has meaning in everything he says. He looks past human “norms” which may inhibit us from our true selves, he UNFOLDS the human spirit and I love it.

Oh wow! You are right John "...it's simply a result of absence... " We are all sick, depressed and fight because of separation from God. It is when we return to love is where we find Him and war within ourselves ceases to exist. As a result, we become loving and peaceful people.

Christ once said to me, "Do not resist or it will persist." This was during a time in my life that I would grow frustrated and angry at the adverse reactions of being allergic to microscopic organisms that were constantly bombarding me with skin irritation, skin sores, skin breaks, unbearable itching, watery eyes and nose constantly runny and sneezy. One night, I was crying in anger and frustration over these afflictions. Once again, Christ enters my realm and says, "Be as persistent as it is in forgiveness." Immediately, I understood to be calm and still and forgive. As I practiced to persistently forgive the microscopic organisms in love and calmness, they inevitably grew calm themselves. As time went on, I continued to love and forgive them and we became friends. They no longer attack me and I am now free from the symptoms of allergies. Through meditation, I learned to self-heal always in love, forgiveness calmness, stillness, patience and peace, and miraculous healing happens in the little and big physical afflictions. It's a blessing to love and forgive everyone and everything. We all want love, we are love. We must reconnect with true love before we can offer unconditional love to our brethrens. For we cannot give what we do not have. John says that it takes practice and time. He is right! While we practice to persistently love and forgive, be patient because the majestic results sometimes does take time to manifest. Why? Because we are experiencing the reality of time. Through the current of the air flow, I send majestic vibes of love, forgiveness and peace to all of humanity!🙏
You can never relate to what I am saying until the day and hour enters holiness honors you with your miraculous encounter in all its holy, wholly, wholesomeness. Everyone has a date with Christ. As an atheist, I had mine in 2001. It was a near death experience. This was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. I have been on a spiritual journey since. I can now relate to the people in the present that share their spiritual experiences. Whereas, I could not relate to the people from my past that would share their holy experiences with me. Because as an atheist, I was blind and deaf. Although, you may not be an atheist, but by your comment, I know that your miracle has not entered your life. So your comment is understandable. Peace is with you.
@@glisteningwaters3312, I'm not sure what I would label myself exactly. I watch John's videos because they are relaxing and I like how he blends his mysticism with Christianity without sounding silly. I was just wondering if it was an auditory or experiential voice that you heard. For what it's worth, I had an incredible experience in 2009 that was the most lovely thing I have ever experienced. These experiences, much like N.D.E.s are usually just the body dumping DMT into the blood. It's the most powerful hallucinogen that we know of and our body makes it. When people are dying, the body is flooded with it. It is the reason that people go to "another realm" and meet beings. It's an otherworldly experience which mine was. You can actually smoke it and it will be the exact same experience one has with a N.D.E.

'Anyone who thinks he knows dosen't know' (33mins) is an oxymoron of a statment.Because how can anyone make such a statment without thinking they know it to be so.
I have a question.. this man I remember has spoken about how he feels his body is something he lives in and isn't really him.. its a nice thought but my question is how do you explain for example a new born baby that unfortunately passes away shortly after birth? If they had skme kind of spirit how would they even know what's going on after I mean they had no brain development or awareness of who they were? I could ask the same about people who suddenly get brain damage or dementia who have lost their memories.. and what about all other living things..do worms or bacteria for example have spirits?
*5 Ways To Raise Your Vibration:* 1. When emotions are high, intelligence is low. Make decisions with balanced emotions. 2. Before raising your vibrations, practice techniques like self love, gratitude and dance. 3. Place your hands on your heart and remember all the things you're grateful for. 4. Play some amazing music and get your body moving and when you feel the joy but your mind is a chaos. 5. To calm your mind, take a deep breath keep on practicing and then set your intentions or wishes with the highest vibration. ~Much Love from a Law of Attraction RUclipsr💜
I have been a practicing Catholic my entire life. I was an alterboyfor 4 years. I believe that qualifies me to say that this is nothing more than a sedative for those that are having trouble sleeping. In all the hours I've spent in church, I have never heard a single sermon in which the word "invisible" was used.
@Svonkie Oh really? Well... what qualifies you to make that statement? This is my opinion, your holiness. Show me any part of my comment where I do not permit anyone from living, or from doing anything that they damn well please? Who the hell do you think you are? You don't like my comment? Grow some skin, or ignore it. But, don't ever lecture me again.
"...Everything about him caused one to marvel-his love; his meekness; his modesty; his impartiality; his straightforwardness; his independence; his unpretentiousness; his selflessness; his poverty; his clarity; his peacefulness; his lightness; his playfulness; his quiet smile. Seeming to be in the world, but not of it, he could destroy all conventions with a single glance because he was above the world and enjoyed complete spiritual freedom...."
I don't think most Russian people TRULY support the war or the concept of war in general. It is doctrine peddled by a totalitarian government. I take your point though. It is difficult to messianise Russian spirituality in such troubling and warring times.
@@SpiritualUnfoldment Ansel Adams was a photographer (one of the best that ever lived), of American landscapes mostly. He spoke with his stunning images, that said so much.
Every video its the exact same bs.. "feet on the ground" "how long can we sit here silently" "i was a farmer in south america" sit in the presence.. i used to like listening to him alot but damn dude ive realized he doesn't have much to say
John isn’t claiming to be anything wise.And what he says isn’t ‘wisdom’, other than a simple feeling of being peaceful. Vague is the point (though to say it’s the point doesn’t embrace vague fully). Be more vague. If you want to, or not.
I think he's tapped into something that resonates with the modern condition.He certainly has an audience.But that doesn't mean he's incapable of gobeldygook
He is talking about the source of substance, things and reality, and what lies beyond. About time and having loads of it when we die. Who really knows? The near death experience that some people have had (e.g. being resuscitated after a period of clinical death due to a heart attack) is often reported, by the experiencers, as being somehow beyond time. John expresses deep subtleties regarding the nature of reality and consciousness. He does this on the basis of lived experiences as a long-term meditator, not by thought or intellectual discourse alone. I urge you to consider that there may be reality beyond substance, and death beyond time. You may think that what I have said also lacks substance. And you may be right to think this. But if there is a reality beyond substance, then a lack of substance may at times be both inconsequential and shrouded in meaning.
@@mailjeffwebb Oh think there is almost cirtainly a reality beyond substances.But glimpses of it and subsequent discourse on the matter does not,in my view,mean we understand its relationship to every aspect of how we should conduct ourselves with regard to earthly matters
Finally, someone else who sees this for what it is: nonsense. I’ve followed this guy since his interview with ConsciousTV, and every video since has been more of the same, repetitive, regurgitated “teaching”. To his credit he has said some inspirational/motivational things over the years, but let’s look a bit further. His childhood was fairly sheltered, keeping in company with animals than people. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but from a young age it hinders early development and can lead to dissociative disorders later on in life. He then worked in farming including living in South America for a time, eventually married then abandoning the marriage for reasons unknown, and lived in the U.S. unhappily for a while before relocating to Russia to teach. It was here that while on a train he looked around and realized he was “finally among his own people”. When this is told it is usually accompanied by gentle sobbing. The reality of all of this is that the meditation has been just a coping mechanism for a lifetime of mental illness. I know this because as a mental health professional I see this on a regular basis. The constant reaffirmation of not trusting his or others’ thoughts, the persistent melancholy of walking on grass (though for fairies that is acceptable), and the notion that we are all “mini-Christs”. There is some underlying, unresolved issue there that, while I’m not making a diagnosis and just offering what I see, I hope that he can make amends with his past or at the very least find peace to last him the rest of his days. Do I take John’s words as rambling nonsense? Most of it, yes. Do I think he’s a bad guy? No, of course not. If given the opportunity I’d enjoy buying him a glass of his favorite beverage and learning more about his farming days. Like I say to everyone, if you’re going through something mentally please feel free to reach out to me. I’m no doctor, but everyone needs someone to listen to them. Be safe and take care of yourself.
"Peace" does NOT come from peaceful people. You cannot get "Peace" from another person. Other people's peace does not give anyone else peace. *"Peace" is a state of mind; not a thing that rubs off on you.* "What ever takes place in this world, is actually in Peace." -John Butler Really? You mean like, for example... during WWII, while the ENTIRE globe was at war... while MILLIONS needlessly perished? Are you really gonna tell me...That was all in PEACE? If you were talking about something else, I'd think you'd have chosen your words differently. Don't you think? Feet on the ground. Head up your ___.
@@jackm6118 Reality and logic don't really work for you. Do they? I could have sworn that I said, "If you're talking about something else, you would have worded it differently." Apparently, you glossed right over that part. How convenient. Re-read my comments again, smartass. You might just learn something useful. And don't ever question my mental wellbeing again. Worry about your own health. I can tell it needs your undivided attention.
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, Phil turned him into a money-making machine, that occasionally comes off the rails. One must ask the question: Dear John, Have we "willed this into existence", too?? BBC News - Ukraine - Bucha: The children's camp that became an execution ground (news/world-europe-61442387) Isn't the REASON WHY we're here, that while a-LIVE to fight EVIL?? NOT just learning how to CALLOUSLY ignore the suffering of others?? Indeed, John has been sharply criticized before for his first video on the WAR where NOT having done his homework on Ukraine he basically spread Russian propaganda, taking Ukraine's identity away from them. That video was NOT taken off line, but is instead unavailable without its link. Had this not taken place, it would be hate speech and would have to be prosecuted.
@@DCS01 While I'm happy that this guy has finally found some success in his life... I honestly don't think he should be playing a RUclips evangelist. You can see that there's a bunch of spiritually-hungry folks hangin around his videos. They seem to feel that he's onto something. It just strikes me funny that they're not paying attention to what he actually says. But I do. And I try to make sense of it... but I can't. From what I read in the comments... they're more taken by his lollipop-smackin, whistlie 19th-century vocabulary. A good part of them admit that they were looking for ASMR content before they knew who he was. I'm not trying to find crime in anything he's doing. But somehow... I feel like he's misleading a lot of people with those mystical, undecipherable catchphrases. He often repeats them, but never tells you exactly what they mean. From time to time, he'll look around the room, at his audience, rolling those big googlie eyeballs... as if he's wondering if anyone is buy it. And just when you think he's getting serious... he'll bust out laughing. I get the feeling that he was recruited for someone else's ambitions. If John never met the guy who does his videos, I really think he'd be unknown, and sitting in church, alone. I doubt very much that John would try to manipulate people, and "sell" his faith. I "think" he's being used to sell books & t-shirts. He just doesn't strike me as a "Buy my stuff!" KINDA GUY. I think he's a great story-teller. I think he should stick to that. Meditation is something you do; not something you get good at. It doesn't require practice. All it requires is your thoughts. Seriously... how many people "practice" praying? It's the prayer that counts; not how well you do it. I could go on and on. But really.... I think John should ditch the people that are behind the fancy logo, and their merch, probably taking advantage of him. Get him to just READ, or tell a story. Hell... it doesn't even have to be true. All he needs is a camera, a microphone, and his own RUclips account. All he has to do is talk. Why not make it something light-hearted, and fun to listen to. I think he could be BIG. He's a natural. Other ASMR providers really have to work at it. With John... there are no gimmicks. He's the real McCoy.
@@Seemsayin True on all counts, but one, i think: meditation as a mental disciplinary skill indeed requires training like any physical ability requires muscles to be regularly exercised. John has become good at that as it seems: he had too much suffering in his life. Having seen all his videos and not being susceptible to ASMR, I can say at least that. Phil is the "agent" you're referring to and it indeed looks as if this businessman has no shame. I tried to communicate with him, but as I'm critical & direct and confronted his insincerity, he just ignores me. This does not mean he's unaware of all the criticism coming from all of us and in face has taken down a 2-part video on Russia that was just a big blunder, after I made clear what will happen if he doesn't. Unfortunately John lost in "his orbit" and like any other source of misinformation (not just about world events, but also in philosophical ideas): there is little that can be done about checks & confrontation. As someone who appreciates a disciplined mind, i keep listening to him and monitor for occasional "interesting thoughts", which gives me also the opportunity to intervene if necessary. I'm glad there are others checking, too.
@@DCS01 I agree with your assessment. I did overlook the fact that "meditation as a mental disciplinary skill" is absolutely viable. When you mentioned it, I was surprised that that didn't occur to me. There's a reason why meditation exists. Thank you for bringing that back to my attention. When I first stumbled upon these videos, I noticed that virtually no one was sharing the same opinion as ours. I was actually dumbfounded by that. I wondered to myself... Is it just me? Am I the only one who sees this , in this light? Or maybe... no one has the heart to be honest with John. It was not my intention to berate the man, but rather to point out that his words were akin to "Quackness", or perhaps thoughts brought on by former substance abuse. I felt that his words had no foundation. They certainly sounded important. But, I'm a realist, a literal type of person. And for someone who studied scripture... I had to wonder if that scripture was written during the late 60's. His words sounded like they came from years of disillusion, mixed with years of time spent, ingesting some type of hallucinogen. I remember hearing this same type of narrative while growing up during the Viet Nam era, from people who felt that life had failed them. I remember it all too well. I could be completely wrong about John. I really don't want to see anything bad happen to him. I just think that someone else's broken moral compass steered this man in the wrong direction. And every time I see that merchandise for sale, I wonder... What is this about? Is it spiritual, or is it about "Buy my stuff."? Again... I could be wrong. But, I don't think I am.
What a sad state John has come to a complete contrived joke nothing from the heart the genuineness of John is lost here and turned into a commercial cliche of lines I am sorry for you John go home let home be home leave this abomination

That is your perception that indeed may be shared by many. HOWEVER, it is simply not the case. He is still very genuine and speaks from purity and truth. What more do you want, maybe you haven't found peace?
This has nothing to do with individual peace. In fact, John specifically teaches NOT the individual, but the WHOLE. Indeed, his thoughts on how the Community matters more than the individual puts his here recommended Attitude of Indifference to the Suffering of Ukrainians by the hand of Evil: IN STARK CONTRAST. We as a race OUGHT TO put aside out selfish interests and confront the Antichrist (a.k.a. Putin, or 80 years ago Hitler) and ASK OURSELVES what can I do as an otherwise MEANINGLESS Individual to EASE their suffering, as it IS (as John himself teaches) OUR Suffering. Turning away, so as "Not To Amplify Evil" does NOT work here. That's just CALLOUSNESS.

Christ once said to me, "Do not resist or it will persist." This was during a time in my life that I would grow frustrated and angry at the adverse reactions of being allergic to microscopic organisms that were constantly bombarding me with skin irritation, skin sores, skin breaks, unbearable itching, watery eyes and nose constantly runny and sneezy.
One night, I was crying in anger and frustration over these afflictions. Once again, Christ enters my realm and says, "Be as persistent as it is in forgiveness."

Everyone has a date with Christ. As an atheist, I had mine in 2001. It was a near death experience. This was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. I have been on a spiritual journey since. I can now relate to the people in the present that share their spiritual experiences. Whereas, I could not relate to the people from my past that would share their holy experiences with me. Because as an atheist, I was blind and deaf.
Although, you may not be an atheist, but by your comment, I know that your miracle has not entered your life. So your comment is understandable.
Peace is with you.
Thank you for this GW - do you record your experiences anywhere else? Phil
@@glisteningwaters3312, I'm not sure what I would label myself exactly. I watch John's videos because they are relaxing and I like how he blends his mysticism with Christianity without sounding silly. I was just wondering if it was an auditory or experiential voice that you heard. For what it's worth, I had an incredible experience in 2009 that was the most lovely thing I have ever experienced. These experiences, much like N.D.E.s are usually just the body dumping DMT into the blood. It's the most powerful hallucinogen that we know of and our body makes it. When people are dying, the body is flooded with it. It is the reason that people go to "another realm" and meet beings. It's an otherworldly experience which mine was. You can actually smoke it and it will be the exact same experience one has with a N.D.E.
You're welcome. I periodically posts excerpts from my NDE unpublished book on my social media accounts.
Hello! & GOD BLESS ♥️🙏🏻♥️
I believe if you are silent you will hear God
I do, too, due to my own experience.
"This room is full of silence" just after a big noise 😂
This man is definitely God 🙏
John really has "blown up" on RUclips so to speak, and rightly so
Enjoy the Silence..”words are meaningless..and forgettable. All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here..in my arms. Words are very, unnecessary..they can only only do harm”. - RIP Andy Fletcher. Long love Depeche Mode. I’m sure John is a huge fan 😂😂👍
God Bless You
Rachel Elnaugh. Now there's a name from the past. Some kind of spiritual awakening from her I imagine.
It's interesting how many people are waking up each day, with a noisy mind, in a noisy world, struggling to find a quiet space.
The bang before the silence...😂
the fricking metal pipe sound had me DEAD
Me too i lost my fucking shit lol
I rest the dome with Phil and John yet again I' don't get ASMR but I do understand that it helps with becoming present with someone saying " feet on the ground.
Nature, nurture, heaven, and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns

Come for the asmr stay for the wisdom

"We all talk about God like fish and chips but nobody really knows what 'God' is!" So TRUE 😆
'Anyone who thinks he knows dosen't know' (33mins) is an oxymoron of a statment.Because how can anyone make such a statment without thinking they know it to be so.
Never really considered that stillness and silence are the universal defaults.
"Where is there not peace "?
Answer....Ukraine.
that is caused by one man who is not at peace who has spread that problem, as he has vast power. Ukraine has been corrupted.
Hello friends... I ask if possible to put subtitles in Portuguese or Spanish so we can follow the videos... Our big hug to our friend John !!!
I have a question.. this man I remember has spoken about how he feels his body is something he lives in and isn't really him.. its a nice thought but my question is how do you explain for example a new born baby that unfortunately passes away shortly after birth? If they had skme kind of spirit how would they even know what's going on after I mean they had no brain development or awareness of who they were? I could ask the same about people who suddenly get brain damage or dementia who have lost their memories.. and what about all other living things..do worms or bacteria for example have spirits?
Reminds me of late Osho. Relaxing and calming man to be with... but a cult leader anyway.
*5 Ways To Raise Your Vibration:*
1. When emotions are high, intelligence is low. Make decisions with balanced emotions.
2. Before raising your vibrations, practice techniques like self love, gratitude and dance.
3. Place your hands on your heart and remember all the things you're grateful for.
4. Play some amazing music and get your body moving and when you feel the joy but your mind is a chaos.
5. To calm your mind, take a deep breath keep on practicing and then set your intentions or wishes with the highest vibration.

“Beware of people who think they know,” -man who’s telling everyone what they should be doing in life.
So? Let the man do what he wants as long as nobody is harmed.
@@tron.44 I sort of agree, but when he’s trying to influence people and change their lifestyles I think his opinions are open to critique.
I have been a practicing Catholic my entire life. I was an alterboyfor 4 years. I believe that qualifies me to say that this is nothing more than a sedative for those that are having trouble sleeping.
In all the hours I've spent in church, I have never heard a single sermon in which the word "invisible" was used.
Being a practicing Catholic qualifies you for being a practicing Catholic, nothing more, nothing less. Live and let live.
@Svonkie Oh really? Well... what qualifies you to make that statement?
This is my opinion, your holiness. Show me any part of my comment where I do not permit anyone from living, or from doing anything that they damn well please?
Who the hell do you think you are? You don't like my comment? Grow some skin, or ignore it. But, don't ever lecture me again.
I don't think peace is so easy to find as to just stop talking. The mind just keeps on talking.How many people really know peace?
It's more a case of true harmony comes from the heart rather than anything material.
Dribble on
He is just winging it, isn’t he
Always. ;-) Phil
Ever read this? Is it good?
An Endless Trace: The Passionate Pursuit of Wisdom by Christopher Bamford.
"...Everything about him caused one to marvel-his love; his meekness; his modesty; his impartiality; his straightforwardness; his independence; his unpretentiousness; his selflessness; his poverty; his clarity; his peacefulness; his lightness; his playfulness; his quiet smile. Seeming to be in the world, but not of it, he could destroy all conventions with a single glance because he was above the world and enjoyed complete spiritual freedom...."
John is great as always but these subtitles are complicated and looks like someone who made them need to understand a simplicity idea.
I do not accept or agree with his beliefs on the atrocities taking place in Ukraine, being perpetrated by his beloved Russia.
I don't think most Russian people TRULY support the war or the concept of war in general. It is doctrine peddled by a totalitarian government.
I take your point though. It is difficult to messianise Russian spirituality in such troubling and warring times.
John thinks he's a kid
We're doomed lol
Dance with the devil, resist not evil
Where is there no peace ?
The problem is in me ?
To me this is his feet on the ground, head in the sand approach.
1:42 I guess this talk isn't ASMR friendly, now is it? 😂
Feet on the ground.
'Wisdom' read 'Platitudinous senile burbling'.
Earthly?
saying make ho by ho - meaning??
"To make whole be whole." Phil
Who's bright idea was it to place a huge gong right behind the speaker? That reverb is extremely annoying.
Could you imagine if John and Dalai Lama sat and talked or not yes I know different religious but same thing just listening to both there words
Ansel Adams showed that realm
Interesting. Does Adams say that explicitly anywhere do you know? Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldment Ansel Adams was a photographer (one of the best that ever lived), of American landscapes mostly. He spoke with his stunning images, that said so much.
@@SpiritualUnfoldment Indeed, his photography does the speaking
1:41. What was that? Lol
This fellas beginning to disappear up his own back side now 🤔
Nonsense!!!!
Imagine if John were a con. 😢 Half his time up there was sitting and saying nothing.
Every video its the exact same bs.. "feet on the ground" "how long can we sit here silently" "i was a farmer in south america" sit in the presence.. i used to like listening to him alot but damn dude ive realized he doesn't have much to say
Please do an asmr friendly version of this video. The hum of the microphone keeps interrupting Mr. John's speech.
John isn’t claiming to be anything wise.And what he says isn’t ‘wisdom’, other than a simple feeling of being peaceful. Vague is the point (though to say it’s the point doesn’t embrace vague fully). Be more vague. If you want to, or not.
Just be vague in yourself, and feel peaceful. Or don’t, or sometimes do. Whatever
I’m sorry but this man is not saying anything of any real substance here? There’s loads of time to sit and be quiet when you’re dead.
I think he's tapped into something that resonates with the modern condition.He certainly has an audience.But that doesn't mean he's incapable of gobeldygook
He is talking about the source of substance, things and reality, and what lies beyond. About time and having loads of it when we die. Who really knows? The near death experience that some people have had (e.g. being resuscitated after a period of clinical death due to a heart attack) is often reported, by the experiencers, as being somehow beyond time. John expresses deep subtleties regarding the nature of reality and consciousness. He does this on the basis of lived experiences as a long-term meditator, not by thought or intellectual discourse alone. I urge you to consider that there may be reality beyond substance, and death beyond time.
You may think that what I have said also lacks substance. And you may be right to think this. But if there is a reality beyond substance, then a lack of substance may at times be both inconsequential and shrouded in meaning.
@@mailjeffwebb Oh think there is almost cirtainly a reality beyond substances.But glimpses of it and subsequent discourse on the matter does not,in my view,mean we understand its relationship to every aspect of how we should conduct ourselves with regard to earthly matters
Finally, someone else who sees this for what it is: nonsense. I’ve followed this guy since his interview with ConsciousTV, and every video since has been more of the same, repetitive, regurgitated “teaching”. To his credit he has said some inspirational/motivational things over the years, but let’s look a bit further.
His childhood was fairly sheltered, keeping in company with animals than people. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but from a young age it hinders early development and can lead to dissociative disorders later on in life. He then worked in farming including living in South America for a time, eventually married then abandoning the marriage for reasons unknown, and lived in the U.S. unhappily for a while before relocating to Russia to teach. It was here that while on a train he looked around and realized he was “finally among his own people”. When this is told it is usually accompanied by gentle sobbing.
The reality of all of this is that the meditation has been just a coping mechanism for a lifetime of mental illness. I know this because as a mental health professional I see this on a regular basis. The constant reaffirmation of not trusting his or others’ thoughts, the persistent melancholy of walking on grass (though for fairies that is acceptable), and the notion that we are all “mini-Christs”. There is some underlying, unresolved issue there that, while I’m not making a diagnosis and just offering what I see, I hope that he can make amends with his past or at the very least find peace to last him the rest of his days.
Do I take John’s words as rambling nonsense? Most of it, yes. Do I think he’s a bad guy? No, of course not. If given the opportunity I’d enjoy buying him a glass of his favorite beverage and learning more about his farming days.
Like I say to everyone, if you’re going through something mentally please feel free to reach out to me. I’m no doctor, but everyone needs someone to listen to them. Be safe and take care of yourself.
@@randybackgammon890 Yes of course. I agree.
"Peace" does NOT come from peaceful people.
You cannot get "Peace" from another person.
Other people's peace does not give anyone else peace.

Really? You mean like, for example... during WWII, while the ENTIRE globe was at war...
while MILLIONS needlessly perished?
Are you really gonna tell me...That was all in PEACE?
If you were talking about something else, I'd think you'd have chosen your words differently. Don't you think?
Feet on the ground. Head up your ___.
@@jackm6118 Reality and logic don't really work for you. Do they?
I could have sworn that I said, "If you're talking about something else, you would have worded it differently." Apparently, you glossed right over that part. How convenient.
Re-read my comments again, smartass. You might just learn something useful. And don't ever question my mental wellbeing again.
Worry about your own health. I can tell it needs your undivided attention.
You're absolutely right.
Unfortunately, Phil turned him into a money-making machine, that occasionally comes off the rails.
One must ask the question:
Dear John,
Have we "willed this into existence", too??

Isn't the REASON WHY we're here, that while a-LIVE to fight EVIL??

Indeed, John has been sharply criticized before for his first video on the WAR where NOT having done his homework on Ukraine he basically spread Russian propaganda, taking Ukraine's identity away from them.
That video was NOT taken off line, but is instead unavailable without its link.
Had this not taken place, it would be hate speech and would have to be prosecuted.
@@DCS01 While I'm happy that this guy has finally found some success in his life... I honestly don't think he should be playing a RUclips evangelist. You can see that there's a bunch of spiritually-hungry folks hangin around his videos. They seem to feel that he's onto something. It just strikes me funny that they're not paying attention to what he actually says. But I do. And I try to make sense of it... but I can't. From what I read in the comments... they're more taken by his lollipop-smackin, whistlie 19th-century vocabulary. A good part of them admit that they were looking for ASMR content before they knew who he was.
I'm not trying to find crime in anything he's doing. But somehow... I feel like he's misleading a lot of people with those mystical, undecipherable catchphrases. He often repeats them, but never tells you exactly what they mean. From time to time, he'll look around the room, at his audience, rolling those big googlie eyeballs... as if he's wondering if anyone is buy it. And just when you think he's getting serious... he'll bust out laughing.
I get the feeling that he was recruited for someone else's ambitions. If John never met the guy who does his videos, I really think he'd be unknown, and sitting in church, alone. I doubt very much that John would try to manipulate people, and "sell" his faith. I "think" he's being used to sell books & t-shirts. He just doesn't strike me as a "Buy my stuff!" KINDA GUY. I think he's a great story-teller. I think he should stick to that.
Meditation is something you do; not something you get good at. It doesn't require practice. All it requires is your thoughts. Seriously... how many people "practice" praying? It's the prayer that counts; not how well you do it.
I could go on and on. But really.... I think John should ditch the people that are behind the fancy logo, and their merch, probably taking advantage of him. Get him to just READ, or tell a story. Hell... it doesn't even have to be true. All he needs is a camera, a microphone, and his own RUclips account. All he has to do is talk. Why not make it something light-hearted, and fun to listen to. I think he could be BIG. He's a natural. Other ASMR providers really have to work at it. With John... there are no gimmicks. He's the real McCoy.
@@Seemsayin True on all counts, but one, i think: meditation as a mental disciplinary skill indeed requires training like any physical ability requires muscles to be regularly exercised.
John has become good at that as it seems: he had too much suffering in his life.
Having seen all his videos and not being susceptible to ASMR, I can say at least that.
Phil is the "agent" you're referring to and it indeed looks as if this businessman has no shame.
I tried to communicate with him, but as I'm critical & direct and confronted his insincerity, he just ignores me.
This does not mean he's unaware of all the criticism coming from all of us and in face has taken down a 2-part video on Russia that was just a big blunder, after I made clear what will happen if he doesn't.
Unfortunately John lost in "his orbit" and like any other source of misinformation (not just about world events, but also in philosophical ideas): there is little that can be done about checks & confrontation.
As someone who appreciates a disciplined mind, i keep listening to him and monitor for occasional "interesting thoughts", which gives me also the opportunity to intervene if necessary.
I'm glad there are others checking, too.
@@DCS01 I agree with your assessment. I did overlook the fact that "meditation as a mental disciplinary skill" is absolutely viable. When you mentioned it, I was surprised that that didn't occur to me. There's a reason why meditation exists. Thank you for bringing that back to my attention.
When I first stumbled upon these videos, I noticed that virtually no one was sharing the same opinion as ours. I was actually dumbfounded by that. I wondered to myself... Is it just me? Am I the only one who sees this , in this light? Or maybe... no one has the heart to be honest with John. It was not my intention to berate the man, but rather to point out that his words were akin to "Quackness", or perhaps thoughts brought on by former substance abuse. I felt that his words had no foundation. They certainly sounded important. But, I'm a realist, a literal type of person. And for someone who studied scripture... I had to wonder if that scripture was written during the late 60's. His words sounded like they came from years of disillusion, mixed with years of time spent, ingesting some type of hallucinogen. I remember hearing this same type of narrative while growing up during the Viet Nam era, from people who felt that life had failed them. I remember it all too well.
I could be completely wrong about John. I really don't want to see anything bad happen to him. I just think that someone else's broken moral compass steered this man in the wrong direction. And every time I see that merchandise for sale, I wonder... What is this about? Is it spiritual, or is it about "Buy my stuff."?
Again... I could be wrong. But, I don't think I am.
What a sad state John has come to a complete contrived joke nothing from the heart the genuineness of John is lost here and turned into a commercial cliche of lines I am sorry for you John go home let home be home leave this abomination

That is your perception that indeed may be shared by many. HOWEVER, it is simply not the case. He is still very genuine and speaks from purity and truth. What more do you want, maybe you haven't found peace?
This has nothing to do with individual peace. In fact, John specifically teaches NOT the individual, but the WHOLE.
Indeed, his thoughts on how the Community matters more than the individual puts his here recommended Attitude of Indifference to the Suffering of Ukrainians by the hand of Evil: IN STARK CONTRAST.
We as a race OUGHT TO put aside out selfish interests and confront the Antichrist (a.k.a. Putin, or 80 years ago Hitler) and ASK OURSELVES what can I do as an otherwise MEANINGLESS Individual to EASE their suffering, as it IS (as John himself teaches) OUR Suffering.
Turning away, so as "Not To Amplify Evil" does NOT work here.
That's just CALLOUSNESS.
Now you've just gone a little mad.
Utter nonsense.
Zero wisdom.
