He's a really sweet old man, so calm and spiritual. He has not allowed himself to be corrupted by the perils and chaos of this 21st century earth. He has reached a mindset that so few will EVER reach.
I think both of you are a bit off. He’s not perfect and he’s damn sure not talking fairy tales. If you think nothing he says is of any value or truth, then it just shows how limited your experience really is. We can only see a small percent of what exist. Science itself will tell you that is so.
I don’t think anyone can judge the experience of another. To you it’s all fairytales but to those who have seen what they perceive as higher existence, it’s all very real. And then there are those who have seen nothing but choose to believe in it anyway. They’re of course all fools to you. But that’s your mindset. You say John has never done anything for the world, and from listening to him, I think he would agree with you. It’s part of the philosophy to not engage with the world. It’s exactly the message he conveys. Others here will probably disagree with John, and say he is doing a lot of good for a lot of people.
@Corvus Morve I had the same opinion as you, I am an atheist but the more I listen to him the more I see that he does not speak about God/Jesus in the way in which j was rared with, he speaks at a deeper level of theory, thought and spirit (i use spirit here lightly). Contribution can be measured in many ways but what I do know is that he has contributed a lot through TH-cam, maybe that counts perhaps?
@Corvus Morve and corvus, if I could be so bold, what is it exactly that you yourself have contributed to society? Do you also hold youself to these high standards?
Been stuck in my mind a lot lately with OCD thoughts and anxiety getting progressively worse, but watching these videos always bring me back to stillness. Thanks John and Phil
allahajen I've been experiencing the same thing with my anxiety, and this helped me, too. Bringing stillness and peace to the internal rather than relying on something outside myself is a nice piece of advice. :)

From approx. 27 mins onwards is some of the most deeply thoughtful and moving analysis of our human condition. It would be a great comfort to those who are loosing people close to them. Thank you both for this.
I’ve been in a certain situation for the past three days dealing with trust and ruminating on my own and low and behold this video pops up and is giving me more wisdom to live by! God bless you guys for your endless wisdom and advice! 🙏🏻💙
John, your videos soothe my soul. Whenever I'm feeling lost, down and all alone, your words remind me of Love. You are truly a man of God, a man of love because that's what it's all about, that's why we are here. So thank you, I hope you know how special you are to many people. Much love from Ireland. 🍀 God bless you. ❤️ To everyone out there struggling, please love yourself because when you start with self love it radiates to everyone and everything around you. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful John........a wonderful person. I so look forward to your videos. You speak from the heart and with depth and compassion. I will come and see you in church very soon xx
I love his total humility and lack of ego...I have trouble sleeping and though I listen to and appreciate his words, their is such a lack of chaos and such an abundance of calmness that it soothes me into relaxation and then sleep. When I was a child, learning about the holy trinity, John Butler looks exactly like the image of God the father that I imagined st that time...
This Elder has a brilliant mind. Was gonna leave but couldn't stop listening. That's one thing elders have on the today's young people is knowledge and wisdom.
This is great way to use of TH-cam. It brings back ' Wise old men & women', like john. They used to preform a function in society,. where counseled by rulers and lawmakers , taught morality too children trough stories etc etc, Now they are ignored at best ..( Offcourse there where mean & dumb elders as well,...but let's stay nostalgic :))
You are a true example of practicing what you preach...I love just the way he quietly yet excellently and effectively speaks thereby displaying the Love and affection of the spirit of Godliness...
Love John! What a wonderfully beautiful soul. Closest thing to an idol I have. Phil is such a great conversationalist and accommodator to John's wisdom too. I love these videos.
ahhh, i missed you all so much. i check for a new video every day, just in case. when i saw there was a new video last night before i went to bed, i felt so giddy, but disciplined myself to wait until the morning so i could start my day with it. :) thank you phil and john, so much, for these videos. they've made a huge impact on my life. i really love you two, so much. i hope we are able to meet some day.
His hearty laugh always reminds me of Santa Claus, I feel blessed to have found him. I don’t meditate but get such comfort from these videos. Thank you
Letting go , surrender, simple but not easy. I practiced , practiced, practiced, my growth comes in little bits every 5 yrs. I'm considering attending your silent time. I've spent the last 20 yrs alone, but growing into what you speak of.
Thank you for your time John and Phil. I'd never considered meditation before I saw your videos. Now there are several times a day I just take time to feel the peace around me and find my own stillness.
I've just found you and I am amazed in what a humble great person you are. Thank you for offering this to us as a teaching experience. Many years of health and happiness to you my dearest.
What Alan Watts was to Taoism, John Butler is to Catholicism. Both blend existentialism into their respective religions, and can be regarded as enlightened spirits. Both are also full of wisdom and are a joy to listen to.
.....but what if you are most are more skeptical/athiest of mind? True there might be some kind of mysterious spirit energy, but sine John comes steeped in such Christian background....that's his path and outlook This is why I am kind of envious of folks who can buy into this ideology more....a great healing and soothing balm....I just can't in good conciousness with my needs for honoring truth and reality to really get behind all that. Thus...dissislusionment comes in waves...but I do appreciate his sentiment about focusing on yourself....I think about this too when it comes to grasping for partnership, for love....one would hope they put themselves "first" as a primary partne, and not get to lost in others, or to put your "faith" in them to a degree you are stuck on the roller coaster.....
I wonder how many people exist who are like John? There may be some out there who just don't have the gift of speaking or writing as John does. We may walk by them every day.
I think there are many more like John .among us unnoticed , I guess we, as a society , are not used listening to elders anymore.When Ýoung & Fast became *the example , Elders automatically became the opposite ..'Worthless ', .Also ,It takes a while to get them talking, ( While some don't stop talking nonsense **ahumm ;))...anyway .It takes some patience, (or TH-cam,) to find these 'hidden gems;

I have never seen so much pure innocence in the eyes of an adult. I bet the eyes of Jesus looked like this. So which means God is like this. Childlike purity. I am. Thank you John.🙏 It is an honour for our paths to have cross. 🙏🥰 Wow this journey is just getting more and more wonderful. Everytime I would think I have arrived. There is no such in eternity. John you are a very bright light on my journey.💞
Gratitude John and Phil. God/Goddess is well pleased. No cliques just experience that came from courage and suffering. John l look forward to meeting you WHEN I GO HOME!!
i swear the sun comes out when this man laughs. bless him
I love how you are describing it.❤😊
No thats not true. He doesn't control the sun. The sun is set on a timer

He could easily be God speaking to us about His wisdom and spiritual realization.
I TRUST JOHN BUTLER!
me too!
No. Trust God. He said so
From approx. 27 mins onwards is some of the most deeply thoughtful and moving analysis of our human condition. It would be a great comfort to those who are loosing people close to them. Thank you both for this.
Somehow he represents innocence, for me. 💓
This man truly has found one of his gifts. Thank you for sharing your very intriguing and articulate views, Mr Butler
I always get so happy to see a video from both of you. I can't wait to hear what knowledge Mr. Butler has to share with us today.
Thanks for another video, Phil and John. John, you make a positive difference in folks' lives.
I listen to John on my break every day at work I must say I usually drift off…🥰

0:35 quickest response time from John ever
Dont trust the editor! No way he answered that quickly.
Now here is a gentleman who is both ASMR 😴💤 and Santa Claus 🎅🏼🦌 qualified. I love his voice and his words of wisdom.
Santa Is an anagram for Satan.
Ni'Shara Thomas Santa is Spanish for saint...
You are a true example of practicing what you preach...I love just the way he quietly yet excellently and effectively speaks thereby displaying the Love and affection of the spirit of Godliness...
John is a very intelligent man.
A fabulous look at life and all its trials and tribulations! Thank you John I hope you are well.
Thank you for your insight and clarity...needed so badly in this day and age
He speaks like an ENT! All jokes aside what a wise man!
Ent ?
Кристиан Тошев like from JRR Tolkien maybe?? Ents are trees that talk
@@schybux632 never read his books sorry.
‘Trust and it’s invisible presence’ and ‘Trust and it’s multitude of layers and forms’ this is good. And “know your real ‘self’..”
I'm glad John agrees that authority is capable of corruption.I thought for a moment he actually wanted us to blindly follow a bunch of idiots
Love John! What a wonderfully beautiful soul. Closest thing to an idol I have. Phil is such a great conversationalist and accommodator to John's wisdom too. I love these videos.
