  • "We are not told to know God - but to love Him. I had a very good but rather stern father. He wasn't the nice, cuddly sort I could be close to. I often felt I disappointed him, was afraid of his disapproval and wasn't sure he loved me, so how could I possibly love God as a father figure? Since father died, I feel closer to him than I've ever been. I do believe in the saying, 'Tears wash the soul'."

    Dear John & Phil---I've been watching and re-watching your videos since the Conscious TV interview brought your wisdom to my attention. It's not a contest or a challenge, but this one made me bawl my eyes out in how much it resonated. Thank you so very, very much for your brave honesty.

    2:47 John, you are a natural comedian. Years ago, started watching for the ASMR. Stayed for all the other reasons. Pure joy.

    I’m glad that I came across you Mr. John Butler . I came for ASMR but stayed for wisdom and advice. It has helped in many ways to guide me on my own spiritual journey .John and Thich Nhat Hanh wisdom among their age.

    Thank you John and the team that helps him. Still listening and watching.
    Also, this talk hit me in my heart. Trying to decide if I should even talk to my father, who has never even publicly acknowledged that I’m his after 48 years.

    My ego says people will not manage w/o me but life will go on without me. This makes me glad and more willing to give this life up when permitted.

    "Пусть я проклят, пусть я низок и подл, но пусть и я целую край той ризы, в которую облекается Бог мой; пусть я иду в то же самое время вслед за чертом, но я все-таки и твой сын, Господи, и люблю тебя, и ощущаю радость, без которой нельзя миру стоять и быть" ❤ Достоевский

    My mother was the only one to understand me and she passed away years ago. My father is dead to me and I to him. My circle is small but tight. Unless fathers are prevailed upon inappropriately, children should be left to their own devices. It's a bad feeling to lose someone who never wanted you around...but one gets over this considering death is the only liberator. I hope my batteries run down soon and I can finally go to sleep and not wake up.
