“When the student is ready, the master will appear” - I don’t know I did to deserve stumbling upon this wisdom you freely offer to all but I am beyond grateful for it. Practicing stillness everyday has brought me closer to God than I ever thought possible and has caused some serious spiritual fruit to grow in my life! Hope you all can say the same :)
I would pay almost anything to have him read "The Lord if the rings". I have not yet found a audio book version worth listening too. Butlers soothing voice and wisdom whould make the book heaven to listen to.
I found the Rob Inglis reading to be enjoyable and very well done, if not without fault. Took me half of the first book to really settle in to it. Mainly his voices for the hobbits I found to be a bit wide of the mark. In the end I loved it so would recommend anyone to persevere with it!
1) the (human) world is full of vain glory 2) we aren’t thrusting this busy little ego “I, me, my” forward - it’s just dropped out of the picture Beauty 🙏❤️
I will never forget a little lamb I use to know. I fed with a bottle & it was the most beautyful thing I have ever known. It followed me everyday everywhere I went. I would love to see again please lord. Amen
That was the most beautiful poem. Let the Son kiss you with His healing love. You are in the garden when you are most loved. He donkey with the cross. At the denouement when Mr. Butler just looked in the camera that was the most poignant of all. Bless you friend 🤍
I've found that I've quite embraced practicing stillness, despite not really believing in any god or gods; but I do think there is a peace and appreciation of life that really comes out of it. Out of all the calamity and chaos our world provides, it also provides such beauty and affirmation that it's worth living in. And if anything your experience with the folks taking a stroll at the end of the video, and just greeting ya, as you said- "They don't interrupt anything." It's all part of the experience. Your videos have helped both as a calming thing, and to help give me some sense of confidence after a lot of harsh events and stuff. Something that's desperately needed given recent times, I feel. Thank you, the two of you, for putting these videos up and sharing your thoughts.
I’m a non-theist, John will go down in time as one of the gap fillers in philosophy. His western Christian non dualism is refreshing to hear. Nobody like him. Please film as much as he will allow you! Thank you be well
Thank you, John Butler, for giving these anglo-saxons a chance to liten, for sharing your wisdom and love. And thank all of you who listen to him and support him on your road to enlightement, to those I can only say Bon courage! From Russia with love.
When things in my life are not going well for me or I’m frustrated…. I just play this video of acceptance. John Butler has really helped me improve my life ever since I started watching his videos since 2019. Thank you!
To Quote the Declaration of Independence of my country the United States of America. "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. They are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. The rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Thanks as always to you, John, for your wonderful words of wisdom, and to you Phil for facilitating the perpetuation of these words to the RUclips community!
Good morning John and Phil. Well it's early afternoon there. Looks like a pretty day there. Raining here in Kansas. Really enjoyed today message. I love gardening, both flowers and vegetables. I grow a lot of both. I attend church regularly, but have never felt closer to God than when I am working quietly in my own garden. The story of the crosses on the backs of donkeys was wonderful. Very interesting information in this election cycle here in the US. We have a lot of asses in Washington, but I haven't noted any crosses on their backs. Tells me that there is far more virtue to be found in our beasts of burden than in our nation's capital. 😁 Have a lovely week.
It may go beyond negative emotions though and be about acceptance of all things. We have a tendency towards hope, anticipation, desire and more. These things are not negative emotions, but they are still forms of attachment. When we look back at our past though and see how everything we went through got us to this point we're at now, we see that everything that happened happened as it should have. So why be so filled with hope and anticipation? Remember the miracles, trust the process and find acceptance.
John and Phil- have you considered streaming a live meditation with John? it would be so nice to meditate together, especially with the lovely nature sounds that are always in the background of your videos.
John Butler just adds to my understanding of Jesus Christ, God. He fills in the gaps about sin, eternal existance. Punishment, Hell, Heaven. Simplicity is key to understanding God.
I’ve been having a bit of a rough time lately, feeling sort of down on life and alone. Hearing John speak of acceptance and the sunshine really spoke to me, and that moment of silence when we just looked into each other’s eyes filled me with an inexplicable warmth. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
John (and Phil also!), I have been tuning into your videos since this channel started. Now, more than ever, your words are SO refreshing to hear. Here in the USA the level of madness is reaching all time highs, and at times, I feel trapped in a system that I cannot agree with. But I guess thats just a metaphor for life as a whole, and being in this human body. I thank you from the bottom and top of my heart. Sincerely- -Kylen PS.... Love the scenery there. Would be great to see it in person someday.
Hi John. I came across one of your videos talking to a gentleman and I just had this feeling that you might be a man that may listen to my experience with God and the Spirit and meditation of prayer. You seen like such a gentle soul and I can relate to the things your saying in that video about who we really are and our heart being our real self. I would like to tell you my testimony as I’m a 29 year old woman in Australia. When I was 6 years old my mother was witnessed to be a lady who had this experience with God. She spoke to my mum about how she read in the bible about the need for salvation and being born again and seeking out the real truth of God according to the bible and not religion. This lady had this experience just like in the Acts where the early church had the Holy Spirit poured out upon them and they spoke in tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. So my mother listened to this lady and went along to one of our assembly meetings where she witnessed all the people had this exact experience as the saints in the book of Acts. My mother was baptised by full emersion as Jesus was and then she called upon him for his Holy Spirit, she suddenly was able to speak in another language called tongues. I was always amazed by this as a young child as I always loved the stories in the bible. So when I turned 12 years old I got on my knees and I repeated “ hallelujah” and I opened my heart to Jesus and before I knew it I opened my heart and I felt this pouring out of the Spirit and I could speak in tongues , a language I did not learn as I was not good at learning other languages at school. I knew this was of God, just as we read of the 120 in the upper room that they all had this experience. To this day I have this exact experience and all the people I know have the same experience and we have this closeness to God like your explain but it’s is so deep and so seperate from anything in this world.. to have direct contact with God and his Spirit, being present with God and walking in his Holy Spirit in meekness and humbleness. Not religion but the truth of God as written in the bible for all believers. I was wondering if I could have a chat to you. I know you’re probably a busy man but for some reason I just felt this really strong feeling like perhaps this is something you may like to know about as you seem to be a humble man who would listen.
I just found your channel today, and I've been watching your videos for hours now. The calm and peace you bring is amazing. Thank you for your words of wisdom
You know what, birds, oddly enough, sing the same way both in Britain and near Moscow in Russia. We are need to think about it, we are all human, and we are all the same, like birds. Some have yellow and some have red or blue feathers. So with us, skin color, language. But we are all Human. We are need to be friends. Mr. John Butler, You look like my great-grandfather. Thank You for Your hard work. And in my country, in Russia, addressing elders in a letter, we highlight their status by simply highlighting the word "You". Best regards, Ivan Utkin, an ordinary Russian guy.
Just yesterday I petted and talked to 2 donkeys...Next time I will bring them some carrots. I guess they will humbly take them because of their accepting nature 😋
Perfect time to get on yt to see this video 3min since posted. Perfect timing for some answering for questions people have that make me question things to.
It made no sense to me as Donkeys have been used and described in writing and pictures long before the Christian era and the dorsal stripes evidently date back far before the Christian era - also they are not visibly evident on all breeds, it depends on their coloring - but it's a cute story for kids I guess.
I think what John is saying with respects to re-incarnation is if one becomes ONE with the ONE, there would be NO need to return as anything else as you already ARE. Now, that being pondered friends... Do recall: That Jesus Christ himself was in essence re-incarnated as he came back for 40 days as INcarnate( or himself) to show,teach and guide his faithfull followers the Perfect way. The way of Love and Bestowel for all of Nature and Mankind. He is here(in us) He is there(Heaven) He is coming back(when Father allows) Be Kind Be of courage Be LIeVE. and BEhave. GOD Bless
Anton, that very well could be the case? In essence I see it more as John saying "I dont have all the answers either, but there is someONE who does☝. and if we would only stop and listen to him" My flock know my voice" the answers will present themselves. "Thats my take anyways"😊
brilliant video John.Yes gardens are lovely places. One must be aware that the senses are the 5 kings and are from satan,so wouldn't get too tied up in them,as in mindfulness practice. A still mind with no thought is all that is required to God and if your very far on as John is you can be a living meditation with your eyes open as you go about your daily business,thats why he can stand there in a constant being state
Hi ! This is my first time here . I stumbled across this channel but I don’t bieleve in accidents. Does anyone know how I can contact Mr. John personally? Like an email address or something?
Listen to this in the middle of the day and at the end of the day: ruclips.net/video/ZUmiN-ifzkQ/видео.html And take a walk in nature regularly or do Yoga at home. That´s what I would recommend at the moment...
3.50 'Nothing can shake the peace'🤔.Now that is one hell of a statment.But if John is really so distanced and impervious from the din of life (which from a cirtain distance may be a glorious hum I'll admit)it seems odd that he seeks and finds the very quiet and beautiful places,churches etc. he deems unnecessary to feel it. 'What is not Jesus?' Gangster rap blaring out would be good test of faith for starters ✌️
“When the student is ready, the master will appear” - I don’t know I did to deserve stumbling upon this wisdom you freely offer to all but I am beyond grateful for it. Practicing stillness everyday has brought me closer to God than I ever thought possible and has caused some serious spiritual fruit to grow in my life! Hope you all can say the same :)
Meditation has been a journey for many years for me, it's a path Home, path to embracing humility...
Wish more people were ready it wouldnt be the mad world it is lol.at least Maya would be a better dream

The only thing you got to remember - Mr Butler is guided by heart's intelligence, merciful soul, and Russian knowledge of Freedom.

i agree!:) although rob inglis was pretty good.
Your humility, John, is so refreshing...
Ecbert did say that humility is the greatest Christian virtue.

I love this man
I am not God to judge but you, my dear, deserve Heaven. Clearly.
My friends raise donkeys. This story is truth.
1) the (human) world is full of vain glory
2) we aren’t thrusting this busy little ego “I, me, my” forward - it’s just dropped out of the picture
Beauty 🙏❤️
I will never forget a little lamb I use to know. I fed with a bottle & it was the most beautyful thing I have ever known. It followed me everyday everywhere I went. I would love to see again please lord. Amen
He’s pure ❤️
I was just thinking last night that I needed some more John Butler wisdom to soothe the soul :)
Cet homme est un saint,que la force soit avec vous monsieur.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How beautiful 🙏🏼💞🦋🌎
That was the most beautiful poem. Let the Son kiss you with His healing love. You are in the garden when you are most loved. He donkey with the cross. At the denouement when Mr. Butler just looked in the camera that was the most poignant of all. Bless you friend 🤍
John you are a voice in the wilderness in today's world. The world should listen to you. God bless.
I love the way this is filmed. The end credits and John walking off, people walking by, so real and uninhibited. Such a nice and powerful short video.
I love your videos john. You are a very wise man and your voice is very calming. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom

It's hard to believe I discovered this wonderful man through searching ASMR subjects and here I am a new subscriber to his channel
I’m a non-theist, John will go down in time as one of the gap fillers in philosophy. His western Christian non dualism is refreshing to hear. Nobody like him. Please film as much as he will allow you! Thank you be well
Could you tell me more about the concept of non-dualism?
@@gamwpanagia google Richard Rohr. He will tell you more than I ever could. :)
Love you John. Keep on with your purpose my dear friend. God Bless
I am the 1000th like. I love you John!

Whenever I hear his voice, I start to feel like a big slab of butter melting on a pile of flapjacks.
John, this was beautiful. It went straight to my heart. Thank you.
Soo beautiful😍✨
So relaxing, beautiful birds chiriping, 💜
Hello John and phil
Thank you for your comforting words
Much love from Ireland ❣❣
I could barely write anything here. You are so relaxing to listen to💤😍
The birds 🐦 agree with me on this too.
Amazing video John! Keep up the great work we will continue to support you wholeheartedly! Much love to you!
God bless you!

I think "Acceptance" means to let go all negative emotions regarding something or someone. Or I might say: To me "acceptance" means that.
It may go beyond negative emotions though and be about acceptance of all things. We have a tendency towards hope, anticipation, desire and more. These things are not negative emotions, but they are still forms of attachment. When we look back at our past though and see how everything we went through got us to this point we're at now, we see that everything that happened happened as it should have. So why be so filled with hope and anticipation? Remember the miracles, trust the process and find acceptance.
Incredibly deep to look in your eyes John ,,,
I’ve always loved donkeys. Never understood why they have been used and abused by humans. Never looked upon or treated like many horses are.
Unfortunately just about every animal on the planet is abused by humans in some way.
2 videos, 20 videos, we don't care. Always more!!
John and Phil- have you considered streaming a live meditation with John? it would be so nice to meditate together, especially with the lovely nature sounds that are always in the background of your videos.
He is the wisest and purest wizard I've every seen XD
Love your channel John! Hope you are doing well!

This one's for me, or rather mostly for the way I was when I was young.
Never seen someone so deftly miss the irony of telling people to behave like sheep. Ignorance is bliss, don't questions things. Got it.
