orthodox metropolitan Kallistos Ware tells a story of school kids meeting a man in a monastery (if I remember right) who sat in church, in silence for hours. And when they got the gumption to ask what he's doing, he said praying. They said 'you must be asking for a lot' and he said he doesn't ask for anything, he said "I just sit and look at god, and he sits and looks at me."
Isn't it a relief that we can't think our way to unity?! My mind gets tired.🙂. As I practice surrendering/letting go, I experience peace that isn't present when thinking and grasping for it.

i’m not always good to people when i should be, and i’m not always good to myself. i’m also always full of frustration and bitterness. however i’m trying to be a better person. i just hope that one day i can grow into a stand up man like yourself, john. your videos always help me keep my feet on the ground and remain positive.
Just discovered this video today. By far the best all encompassing video by Phil and John. I found compete resonation start to finish. I will be reviewing this one many times!
Tjhanks to John and Phil...and, adopting Stoic Principles helps further our journey to self-sufficiency...an excellent antidote to our current situation. Have a good day, all.
Love your talks Mr. Butler. I enjoy seeing the way folks from the West teach awakening (that is, also excluding those who were explicitly taught by Eastern teachers).
Thank you to John and Phil and everyone involved in these wonderfully peaceful and uplifting videos.I hope in the very near future that you will make available a free live streaming with John’s meditations at the Church. That would be so helpful and such a precious way to unite for some of us globally who cannot attend a retreat with John. Thank you again. Much love to you all.❤️💜❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What are your thoughts on using “to make whole, be whole” as a mantra during meditation. I’m still finding some reluctance in my mind when trying to use the Jesus Prayer but I do understand that it can be better to use something that is time tested. To make whole, be whole resonated with me when I first heard John say it. Thanks so much for these videos John and Phil. They are truly life savers.
Am very interested in what thinks John Buttler about family and others....what to chose when you dont feel peacefull in your family.....we can consider family the others? That ones who are on the same path as us?❤
🤔Seems to me J.B. likes the places starting and ending with the letter A-he mentioned visiting Australia, Africa, America(South). So I guess we can look forward to future ruminations on his adventures in Alaska, Asia, Argentina, Austria, Alabama, Antarctica, Arabia, Antigua, Angola, Algeria, Albania, Andorra, Arizona...
Yes we can but it has to be done from the top down. There seems to be come conflict in the heavenly realms and humanity seems to be bearing the after effects of that. Therefore we need to resolve that and then we can enjoy a more peaceful existence. As above. so below! So in the Great Spirits of Unity and Peace, Let's join hands in one accord in and with LIGHT and restore our very beautiful paradise, Mother Earth, otherwise known as ME! ❤😂
Why would you wonder about that? Are you agraphobic? Facing your fears is the ONLY way to overcome them. Listening to someone talk about meditation would be side-stepping the problem. Anyone with a problem with crowds and open spaces might consider taking baby steps into that fear. Learn to crawl, then walk, then run. That's how it works. It's a time-tested strategy. If that doesn't work, then your fobia becomes reality.
I tried hearing you but couldn’t understand or hear you clearly. Sir you need to please have mike near your mouth. As I don’t use headphones and I had highest volume on my iPhone. Best of luck. Stay happy and healthy sir.
I recently thought of this question: what separates us from rocks and trees? We are all made of atoms, elements, and matter. So why do we live and have consciousness and intelligence, but things like rocks or buildings don't? My answer: we have a soul. It is beyond infinite, beyond the rules and understanding of our reality. It is the soul that powers us. When we die, our soul leaves our body, and is lifted to God. That's why our body is just flesh after we die, there is no more soul to power it.
Did John learn meditation in the he same school as the Beatles went to? As a follower of T.M. with Marhsrishi Maresh yogi.His discriptions often seem remarkably similar.
Its easy to put ourselves in a state of no thinking..after that you have relatives and peoples around you and that can consume you..and that beautifull space can dissapear....
Hi John, idk if you answer youtube comments but I'm wondering. Is it OK to be happy? That may seem like an odd question but I'm wondering if life is truly a "gift" or if it is something we need to throw away our lives in to the fire of trying to fix the world? I know you have answered this with "to make whole be whole" but I would love if you could shed some more light on that phrase. Thank you for all of your talks!
four people are in the wild, .......one person stone by stone build a house all'day , while the other laugh and lay down in the grasses doing nothing, the three at night in the cold ask him in,.......what should he do? and what would happen the next day? the three would go out and lay down while he would food gather and make a fire , then the three would come in and ate the next day?......all our problèmes are ?....simple that trivial indeed it is time to simplify....but can we..........you are blessed and kept all'simple ...wish we can all do....allowing not stealing .....being....like you kind .......
Let's get one thing straight.NOthing,if that's what it is,can't offer anyone anything.How can it.If one is suffering how can NOthing subtract from that.One has to engage with something more than zero for any posertive change.The available nectar may be spiritual but it has to be SOMEthing to warm the cold heart.The only place questions don't arise is a warm 💖
Can someone please let the good man know that it is next to impossible to understand him if he is laughing and talking at the same time ? And with the extraordinary dynamics of his voice, those parts then are also the loudest and need repeating. So one has to attend directly to the PC to get over those parts and then find the right volume levels again before one goes back to the kitchen where one wants to understand what he then practically whispers.
@kittieconvoy Hey, the antifa-types are back ! _" maybe attend to these videos when you're not busy doing other things?"_ In that case I obviosly have a gazillion of priorites on the PC that require visual interaction. Videos that do not require looking on are obviously restricted to times when I do not directly attend to the PC. So you think I need counselling from that your kind of an IQ level, right ? And for profound "assisted contemplation" I would not use the very, very introductory level of JB. I am still curious about some of the new aspects he sometimes throws in, but with his repetitive overproduction Phil forces me into choosing between wasting an inordinate amount of time or unsubscribing and hence missing _all_ of what JB has to say. Funny how I don't _"seem to experience"_ any of those supposed _"high levels of irritation"_ with any audios with proper sound management.
@@cozicoops I am hearing anyone else speaking but JB in my videos quite well, thank you, including Phil. How do you explain that then, you expert ? _"I’ve never had that problem?"_ Only a schizophrenic would have to ask _if he himself_ has a problem, and only a sociopath would need to resort to your _(necessarily hate-motivated)_ ad hominem attempts in hopes of avoiding the matter at hand. As regards JB, it is obvious to anyone who is trying to listen him while performing chores around the apartment while not wanting to molest the neighbors with noise. You can _objectively_ measure the enormeous dynamics of his voice which suddenly turns unbearably loud when he laughs if you do not regulate the volume down after cranking it up enough to understand his otherwise mumbling into his beard while investing 90% of his effort into the timbre of his voice and a minimal amount into articulation with its absurd british oscillation between contrabass and soprano. If there is any irritation here about JB, it is 2 things: Phil's overproduction of repetitious messages by JB _(one such video per month would be quite sufficient)_ and secondly the fact that to finish 10 minutes of listening to JB usually takes 20 minutes. That is particularly unnerving because 1 hour of JB usually contains a maximum of 2 or 3 minutes of something he hasn't said before. In pressing times like these, it would be nice of Phil if he isoltated those and posted only them.
I use bluetooth headphones and listen via the PC too fella, it seems to work for me. Maybe give that a go and see if it helps? Easier and more realistic to control your own experience by changing your listening methods 👍

Replace soul with brain and you are absolutely correct.
So what about animals that love you.Do they have a soul?
Hi John 👋👋
We can let go of things we dont need anymore..but when its about a family..where you dont feel good anymore...?
Indeed...easy and awesome to be with animals.....I adore them and feel gorgious around them...but what about humans?😊
