I love how John is like "I've been saying this now 100th times" and people still coming back wanting more. Cheers old man, I love you.
Excellent interviewer. Listens attentively, doesn't interrupt, bright thoughtful delightful fellow.
John is so honest. He choses his words according to the need. There is a direction from our savior that says. "You will not be defiled by what goes in your mouth but what issues out of it." I learn every time I listen to John, he is a vast humble resource as he is connected to Father.
Hey John. I’m from the untied states and found out about you a couple of years ago. I always come to your channel when i need to calm my mind, relax, and learn about god/spiritual topics. I really appreciate you and I want you know that you’re an absolute gem.
Much love

this is the best selfdescription of John Butler!
John Butler, I live in Canada, and discovered your TH-cam offerings a few years before Co-vid. Your beautiful words have helped me explore the purpose of my own pathless path, focused "now", where I need no assumption to uphold myself. Powerful understandings, bless you, Sir.
And what our path ????
STILLNESS !
@@murdoch6738 Funny that ideas like "stillness", "nothing", "void", "silence", and "zero", cannot be described in terms of what they are, but only in terms of what they are not.
Oh dear John, so good to hear you talking about the infinity of the evolutionary growth and ongoing discoveries of the Universal nature that NEVER STOPS. It's such an essential experiential knowledge that assures that we really know nothing only we think that we do. So many seekers don't get that. You have been repeating honestly and openly that your journey is just a BEGINNING in the path of TRUE knowledge. Grateful to hear it all over again! I'm so utterly Happy to know you, dear heart. In Spirit we are ONE!
I can say...I understand Mr . John butler message....when we were a kids we don't think. We just listened and look. So when you stop thinking and start to look and listen and your feet on the ground or your bottom on the chair.. you literally start your stillness journey and this journey has no limit. And I think Mr John discovered something about stillness but he want to keep it for himself...maybe we are not ready to hear the truth .. because we will not understand or we cant expect it . But I can say I trust the man ..I can sense his honesty
Wonderful, Beautiful.
Thank you both so very much.
Thank you, John. You are a gift and I have learned so much each time I listen to you. Your peace and guidance are a true gift
Simple and profound. We are grateful to be here and now with John Butler.

*5 Powerful Things that changed my life in all areas*
1. No longer identifying myself with thoughts
2. ATTRACTION has the word ‘attract’ & ‘action’ with it (Law Of Attraction)
3. I'm not a human but a HUE-MAN = LIGHT-MAN = LIGHT WORKER
4. Investing my time in figuring out my purpose in life
5. BE-ing ok with death and creating urgency to make the most of life!
~Much Love from a Law of Attraction TH-camr💜
This physical realm that our soul resides has many distractions. One must be very careful to not let it distract our heart from the origin/place of birth of our spirit. Ones heart must seek Father to return to him. All 5 of your powerful things also describe this. Love Father with all your heart.
Interesting exchange with some good wisdom and interesting views.
Amen John, amen. I too was raised a country boy in a very rural environment. My brother and sister were both a great deal older than I and had little interest in me. My friends were the wide open plains of Kansas, the ever present wind and the animals. I was the classic misfit, still am. I don't feel part of modern society at all. Me and my dog, Rowdy. That's it. And I'm content with that.
It looks so cute when he rols past on his little bike
Nice to see some Dr. David Hawkins books in the background.

“You are never alone, for there is no place, no state, no time where GOD is absent”...A Course in Miracles
“To make whole, be whole”...John Butler
“Innocence is wisdom because it sees no evil”...A Course in Miracles
“I am at the end of life”...John Butler
“Birth is NOT the beginning and death is not the end...complete unconsciousness is impossible”...A Course in Miracles
The Holy Bible says “many are called, few are chosen”
A Course in Miracles refines it a bit more by saying
“ALL are called, but few choose to actually listen”

more talk of mediation no doubt and farming.
Don't feel bad, John. All God's creatures eat each other. I know it's savage but that's the creation He made. Even the nutrients plants take from the soil came from animals and plants that lived and died. That's how we don't run out of resources : we are all resources. That's the ecosystem. Of course as humans we have an extra burden of trying not to be unduly destructive because of our advanced technology.
Ego is just an idea, people always refer to it like its a real thing, its just an idea, it does not really exist in objective reality
Thank you Alex and John. I am looking into joining TM meditation, after hearing you speak about the money component Im unsure as it costs a lot of money to be given a Mantra ?? i live in Melbourne Australia do u have any suggestions? Currently i am sitting feet on the floor and bottom on the chair listen and look, and Jesus prayer,,
First like...First comment 😎
Does John still do meditation retreats
No 'retreats' but if you want to meditate - come.
@@SpiritualUnfoldment thanks
John is literally just a child.
Who is Alex?
Does John love others? I get the impression he doesn’t like others never mind love them. Love is to will the good for others. John is honest. He is more interested in letting go of this life. He’s a paradox really. I do wonder if he would feel differently if he had been blessed with children. I do wonder. There is an Eastern Orthodox saying “You go to heaven together and to hell alone.” John seems to be very alone. He’s a mystery and a paradox to me.
I understand the sentiment of not wanting to name many people as a past mentor or a teacher on John’s life journey, however it is a bit of stretch that he does not name a single person at all. Surely there had to have been some noteworthy people in his life that helped him down the line. Perhaps his meditation instructor? Someone in his many travels?I think it’s a bit zealous to just say Nature and only nature provided ALL instruction in his life.
Make hole, bee hole

WTF 🤬
