The good ole saying the more you know the less you know... So true. And trying to control and suppress your mind is tiring, let your mind he free. And bow down to a higher power, that presence, and life will unfold naturally. Wow that is some deep stuff. Whoever reads this, have a good day, and you got this.
Oh man this is so Tao Te Ching and Wu Wei, I’d recommend searching for that. It really helps for us Westerners which are predisposed to a certain kind of restlessness ✌️
UCIBME Thanks. I’ve actually read quite a few different sources such as the Tao and others and found them quite inspirational. This specific video struck me on a personal level. 👍
Corvus Morve it’s the belief that truth is aligned with the intellect that means people get tangled up in the words and miss the point. Trying to prove this truth by reference to intellectual argument is like feeding someone the menu instead of the meal and expecting them to be satisfied. There you go some more pseudo religious babble that you’ll probably take apart but maybe at some point your pain will become great enough it will break the arrogance in you. Happened that way for me.
What is reality, who can judge that fully and truly, that little echo chamber on top of our shoulders, I think not. You identify with your intellect, when it's only such a tiny window, a tainted glass, barely hanging onto the frame. I hope it dawns on you of what I am speaking of. All the best
I myself a knower of No things and of 53 yrs on this earth, bow my head and offer humble thanks firstly to God and Natures magnificence and perfection and then my fellow man and woman. Treat a man as he could be, not as he is. Love and kindness all.
Be nice to see what this Corvus Morve actually said before it was(I assume)taken down.I cirtainly dont like hateful comment or hateful anything but it may have just been critical
John, I just finished your first book,I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could relate to alot of the issues discussed in it, it's like a biography book mixed with self help for the reader. I loved your honesty and how you admit to your mistakes which in turn help us grow, I learned alot from it. Getting the next one very soon! Thank you for being a brilliant teacher, your advice and guidance have directly influenced my view of myself and others and my view of the world. Your an earth Angel John. ❤️
We keep bees at work. We have a dozen hives each housing thousands of bees. Here's a lesson I learned the hard way. Make sure your mower ( tractor in this case ) has GOOD forward momentum and you can drive by fast. I didn't have any net on as I drove past and the tractor was in low gear and they came out and " educated " me. It was a painful lesson. Thanks and have wonderful week.
Been watching your videos before I sleep. It's relaxing and full of knowledge. You're truly a wise man, I just want to thank you even thou you might not have a chance to read this. It's the bed time story of mine. Night.
My first video of yours John and I found it by accident when searching for bee videos! This is amazing, I love listening to your wisdom and guidance, have a wonderful day, I will be watching again soon🌺
Mom and I are leave alone bee keepers too. We have two vertical hives and one horizontal . It has been interesting. We’ve learned a lot....🐝 Thank you for your comforting words!
Woah, about an hour ago I decided to start watching honey collecting videos and whatnot, and then you made this video and I got this notification. What are the odds? I never watch bee videos.. except tonight of course.
Have you done a video talking about the fear of loss? I feel like I could really do with a wise, experienced viewpoint since I struggle with the fear of losing people day to day, thanks
Thankyou John and Listeners! I have been using “Ho’oponopono” for a few years now. It’s Hawaiian meaning “to make rightly right”. It’s the practice of being present and realising that all mind stuff is memories, memories in the subconscious. When I do “hooponopono” I am using words of power (words are spells) like “I love you” and “Thankyou” and ask the inner child or subconscious to let go of memories that shroud my awareness and prevent me feeling peace. It sounds mechanical and “new agey” but it really is profound and It works, I’ve watched miracles happen just because I took responsibility for what is happening to me. This practice of “being present” also removes creative blocks as inspiration comes from a higher place but is blocked by subconscious trauma, memories, fears. This practice has changed my life. I am 45 and have always been spiritual but also have always been depressed. Yet since I started remembering to be present the depression is no longer darkly suicidal and I know I have a way of coping now. John’s words fit perfectly with the mysticism and practices I have learned so far, infact they all fit together perfectly and it’s like everything is a piece of the divine puzzle box of wonders for us to explore lol I relate to much of what John says and admire his no fuss approach to this which is what attracted me to Hawaiian mysticism. These feelings of being “holier than thou” is just subconscious mind stuff, the voice of condescension we have heard so many times and becomes our inner monologue that now plays like a recording whenever you attempt to see yourself but You Are Holy! You Are a Divine Being lol. I am Thankful that I am! Look into Hew Len and Ho’oponopono if you like the simplicity of Mr Butlers words you will love it!
I live in Chicago and everything has been so crazy in my life and in the world... At every micro and macro level things are so unstable and crazier with each day. I've begun to feel like I'm losing my mind for the first time in my life. But this video has provided a very much needed perspective. Thank you so much for the reminder, John.
Well first of all i feel sorry for you, that u live in Chicago, second, vote out that sorry mayor yall have and things may start to change for the better
@@morrispridgen I love Chicago. It's normally a beautiful city of endless wonders... But YES. Lightfoot needs to go. She's a tool for sure. She's really showing her true colors.
@@EnjoyLifeNow Thank you for your beautiful insight. I think many of us who are struggling right now are in collective labor to give birth to a new, better, and more loving and caring world. ♥️
EmptinessInside hm. The victims who trusted killers like Ed Kemper or Jeffrey Dahmer might have something to say about this philosophy. If they were still alive, that is.
A very profound idea I have come across in the Upanishads is that desire is the fundamental force behind the universe. I think it is also that which creates our intellectual errors about the nature of our experience and in Hindu terms keeps us cycling through ''separate'' existences until we relinquish it.
I can't help but wonder: What is the end goal? To get back to the source, perfect eternal bliss, get bored, jump back in to the divine drama in an endless loop? Guess we will have to wait and see..
Out here in desert the mice eat the insulation off our automotive wiring. So we put cayenne pepper over the motor to get rid of the mice, (which doesn't work!) but then hundreds of bees come to eat the cayenne pepper! Now we have two problems. Blessings always John
John, did you ever meet J Krishnamurti, attend his talks or read his books? I wonder, if you did, the impact it had on your life or the gems you took from it...? Many thanks to you and Phil for these videos. They are blessings.
Honor is gained for the benefit of you and your group, like family honor. You do sacrificial things to honor your heritage, to create a confident example for the younger people in your group. Pride is a selfish thing, it honors only the self because it thinks so highly of itself. When you do things for prideful reasons, you are honoring only your ego, not your lineage. Honor ends, and pride begins, where ego trumps the importance of the people around you. Of course that's just my best guess lol I'm not our lovely teacher John. 😅♥️

I think maybe I’ve learned more in this one video than the last 20 years of searching for answers.
Good. Me too. It's a reminder of what we already know in our human experience when we quiet the mind and listen .

Why is his comment nonsense? I think he makes a valid point
Why be unkind in your comments, in this of all places?
@Corvus Morve His post made perfect sense -- which part did you have trouble with (besides the love and kindness part)?
Corvus Morve you’re bullying a man for preaching kindness. give that some real thought.

Wonderful talk..
Thank you both
Much love from Ireland ❣
Thank you grandfather John! You always make me laugh! Sending so much love
This one is really great 👍🏻 Thanks and gratitude John.
The most important thing to know is how to laugh at yourself.... especially when you weren’t as smart as you thought.
I feel like I'm in nature with you with all the birdsong! 😊

Yet again another great video from John. Interesting thoughts...
I loved this video, thank you very much John and Phil 🤗
John you are the shrine of my life
John and Phil have a wonderful following. Thanks.
I'm curious to know what John looked like when he was younger. He looks good already so I'm feeling like he'd be rocking the 80's look. Lol
He looks like your average english men to be honest, in his video mr nothing he shows some pictures of himself when he was in his late thirties.
@@StygianDemise. Good looking gent.
Thanks John

Trust those who seem trustworthy. Trust also those who seem untrustworthy.
So, just trust ... everyone?

Dear John, I have a simple, quick question. Where does honor end and pride begin? Could you explain to us the difference between honor and pride?
Wow, that's a deep question
Honor is gained for the benefit of you and your group, like family honor. You do sacrificial things to honor your heritage, to create a confident example for the younger people in your group.
Pride is a selfish thing, it honors only the self because it thinks so highly of itself. When you do things for prideful reasons, you are honoring only your ego, not your lineage.
Honor ends, and pride begins, where ego trumps the importance of the people around you.
Of course that's just my best guess lol I'm not our lovely teacher John. 😅♥️
