Impromptu #7 From stillness to peace

- By listening beyond sound, looking beyond form, we find the silent formless spirit, which fulfils and informs us. Similarly, if we stop talking, feel our feet on the ground and find this presence, then, as sun disperses morning mist or switching on a light dispels the dark, from chaos, stillness may bring peace.
Gracious thanks to our retreat guests - Marion, Patrick, Dimitris, Andrew, Martin and Glenn for allowing us to share these insights from your questions with a wider audience.
Did you know you can now listen to John on Spotify and other audio platforms? Here is his most popular recording 'Common sense guide to meditation' (1m views) - ffm.to/commonsenseguidetomedi....

Silence, stillness, space, peace, spirit & god
& rest
I adore this man. I hope to become even half as wise as I grow older.
Don’t put yourself conditions: “when I grow older”. You are already Now!
But , I do understand what you meant😉.

Be careful what you wish for. A man is born of troubles. Better if you can to be young if God allows. We can all grow through our own mistakes if you want to
How I love John. He's such a funny, wise, deeply calming man. Always puts things into perspective! 😊🙏
I love this simple, genuine man! He practically and actively follows the wise counsel in the scriptures: “Be Still, and Know That I Am God”
Hi Bruce, do you know where this quote can be found? Thanks!
@@kaivalyam_healing Psalms 46:10
We are blessed to have such people. Thank you John and Phil.
Your words won't be forgotten John. Many years back I came across you in an interview video marked unintentional ASMR. You didn't have this series at the time, but your words- and your unbelievably soothing speaking voice stayed with me- and recently I thought to look for that video again and discovered this series to my absolute delight!
Bless you, you are the embodiment of peace and stillness. ❤️
Thank you Phil for your presence...it reminds me to be present! Stillness is my best friend!
Gosh!..thank you again John for sharing..
Not fotgetting Phil..peace and joy to both of you..x
This is why I love night so much, it is very still at night...crisp cool, it puts me at ease .
When I was a child my grandmother told me that if I was quiet And listening I know not only what I know but what everyone else knew too. I’m not sure what my point is, maybe just the top of my head. Thank you again John for providing clarity. It’s all so simple that we can’t believe it. God bless you all
yes. that's quiet a quote!
She isn't wrong. When your insilence long enough, your hear the unheard, the line between, in silence there is sound, you just cant physically hear it.

Not sure John knows what he's babbling on about either
Dearest John,
"Growing up from Mortality into Freedom."
I look at you, into you.... and my fears dissolve.
The sound of your voice, the Divine Light in your Eyes, The Pure Presence you Embody, share and offer so unconditionally.
It is said when the student is ready the Master appears.
Lead us Home Dear John, Lead us Home.
I spent the better part of this weekend listening to John Butler and his ♾️ wisdom
Life is so simple, why must we complicate every aspect of it? Everytime I have an anxiety episode I just watch John Butler and I am at peace again. Thank you for your simple ways and wisdom John.
I am so grateful to be able to listen to such an inspiring person. I hope I can someday fully understand the wisodm behind those words. Greetings from Poland
Thank you - sending blessings to Poland. Phil
This is always balm for my hangover. Amen.
I'm SO excited. ANOTHER VIDEO!
I do embrace silence and present moment awareness. It actually has changed my whole life. Mr. Rogers planted seeds of love teaching us to take time for silence.
Thank you John and Phil. John truly is a farmer now planting and nurturing those seeds of ❤. The world needs it now more than ever! Thank you Phil for all you do to make this happen😊 I’m guided and , if it is meant, I will be on one of those retreats meditating with John. May my heart procedure go well so I can do just that♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sending you Love Light and Protection for your procedure. You will be in that retreat with John that you are Visualizing. Blessings Dear One!
John, thank you for the work you do and for sharing it with us. I just finished my first 10 minutes of meditation at 32 years old after listening to your talks for two years. I felt my feet on the floor. Thank you.
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t like hearing John talk about dying because I don’t ever want him to leave us lol. Absolutely love you John, if you want to come up to Blackpool where I live and go on the roller coasters I’d love to take you 😁
I got his book Spiritual Unfoldment and started reading it today. It's very good so far. I love his videos and relaxed nature. Thanks Mr. Butler! 😊
The world could use a big dose of this.
"Understanding" is an interesting word in the context of being aware of the sky with your feet on the floor, isn't it? "Under"-"Standing".
Absolutely brilliant John I've been listening to you and Phil since you started with the interview with Ian and wow I must say what a story it was John I've even told it to my children.. They were very intirested in it especially the part about the jungle and anaconda wow! But yeah I've bn listening quietly since the start of this amazing journey you've been on keep up the good work I listen every night big high five to Phil and John ❤️xxx
Big smile!
You are a true inspiration, John. As a young man of 26 myself I’m ready to experience all that life has to offer with fearlessness. This is with help from your powerful words & stories that will live on forever
When you say expierence life fearlessly do you mean that or courageously. The're not the same thing.The latter is when your scared but do it anyway the former is the absence of any fear,courage becoming then unessassary. I don't think anyone can be fearless(ie free from fear) in any and every situation
@@randybackgammon890 I meant the absence of fear & will look to achieve this the best I can
@@Brian-bw9fh Good luck with that. I just wanted to enquire as I wasn't sure. So many people(particular those who wear those spiky 'no fear' slogans) confuse ,I feel, living fearlessly with living fiercely.That amounts to an aggressive response to fear rather than any absence of it...Best wishes
Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you.
I love this man.
Bless you, John and Phil
We love you John
Being still in silence sometimes is being at peace.
I love the sky...To look up and see the endless sky on a clear day is so relaxiing...On dull, cloudy days, I visualise it....
Listening to the wisdom of John,
So love when he reminds us to keep our feet firmly on the ground,
I have never been able -to meditate, however now at evening-time I find I go go to the silence
And before long I just drift off to sleep.my heart is so happy to find this vlog
Mary Canada
Thank you, John.
The simplicity is so soothing....it just hits that spot that "I" keep missing.
Love u john
Thank you dear one 🙏 💞
I don't speak english, but ..... John's Voice
When I first read the title of this video I thought it said silliness brings peace. And then I thought wow finally a concept I can really gravitate to and then I read it again LOL
As always a pleasure, the work you two have done is priceless. God bless you both and 🙏 thank you.
Thanks Brian - means a lot. Phil
Its like Him and God have a meeting every day to compare their knowledge
Good joke but he actually does have a direct interaction with Godliness when practicing meditation.
I think when you talk about how we love our ego, our achievements etc, it’s also (at least for me) the fear that if I don’t ‘become someone’ I would be meaningless.
I’ve discovered your videos recently and the things you say feel good and are helping me look at life in a different way. So much to listen to and to reflect upon! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Hello all
Hi 👋🏼
Hello
Hi
Hello RJ from Los Angeles !
I love you John, I love you
Thanks, Mr. Butler. You are my Sunday morning sermon.
Not religious, but I like this man, has good points.
"I got interested in something else"....genius
It seems so simple doesn't it. But I'm sure John is right. It's starting to work for me I think.
Definitely worth listening to this man no how to take your mind of the pain and sorry of life 💗
Love this. Thank you.
Such a fantastic video. I've watched this so many times. It makes me laugh, and cry, and it comforts and guides me. Your beautiful soul touches my heart John ❤
I love sitting with you so much, great thanks to you , Sir. You are. treasure of gentle wisdom, indeed. Much love, Suzy😘🌷🧖♀️🙏🏻🕊️😉🤎
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you John Butler.
Thank you for your amazing words, John 🙏
He is so adorable!
My favorites are Impromtu 1 and 7. Great wisdom sprinkled with ASMR!
Thank you. God bless you.
I LOVE JOHN BUTLER
Thank you John and Phil wonderful video 👏👏⭐☘♥️🙏
Amazing!!
you are a wise man and a great human being and also im here for the ASMR that your voice cause me . . .
What is essential, is invisible to the eye....
For to know true peace is to surrender to God like when John the apostle at the last supper rested his head against the breast of Jesus and listened to the heartbeat of Jesus! O' for me this surely is true peace. Bless you John thank you Phil.
A wonderful man Love your wisdom.
Wisdom is in assessment when to let go stress and when to solve the problem. There are good stresses and bad ones.
Brilliant
Love Love Love ♥️♥️♥️
Nothing stays except That
Nothing stays exept the space 🌎
@@mamapadure5780 yes THAT
This video reminds me of the Bob Newhart 'Stop It!" skit, especially where John says he found other things to think about. 😂
Love it! ❤️
That’ll be $5. Phil
S-t-u-a-r-t....✨
🙏💛
Wisdom is a light in the dark night of life
Profound
Hi John,
I am so inspired by you from a friend. Clearly a believer.
Can you help me please?
Im stuck with an issue involving Elliptic Curve and Diffie Hellmend (ECDH - used in most ssl communications)
So Elliptic Curve and Diffie Hellmend is a key agreement protocol that allows me and other people to have a 'secure' communication (mind you, nothing is really secure, only me and the big man 😉) but this is based on me and someone else having the elliptic-curve public-private key pair, to establish the shared secret over an insecure channel.
So how can I communicate with you to ensure that our communications channel is secure. I don't trust anyone, and especially our government. Please help.
God bless you JB
Heart to heart - no words needed !
Dieing to know the music piece in the intro also appreciate your sage like wisdom.
Check the description.
ily
🙏❤️😊
I don't love suffering I get real angry when things get too much :O Like WHY LIFE. WHY.
' Haven't you? 'Isn't it'? 'Don't they'? Are you asking me or telling me John?
What was the music Phil played first?
Bottom of the description.
If you empty a cup it’s not half empty it’s half full same goes with life you choose to be half empty or half full
If you empty a cup it's empty
' To make whole,be whole'.How then have the holy ones ,( those made whole) not made the rest whole....Just asking because if after 2000 thousand years even greatest haven't made it happen what chance have I or anyone else got
🤲🙏❤️🥰🌎
Floof bearded cute handsome wise man is hereeee
Mmmm bakewell tarts so tasty
He is influenced by the Jesus preyer!☦️🇷🇺🇬🇧
"To make a hole, be a hole." Mysterious. I'll go away and ponder on it for a few decades before I return. Wish me luck!
😆
'To make whole. Be whole'
John you should do a video on your experiences involving paranormal activity your views on it and your experiences with it? An idea???????????????????
I heard a rumour that John had passed on, he seemed like a strong man, a man of intelligence patience and of course wisdom, also seems that he may have had troubles as well, and he carried on, salute John
The only way you can find God is through divine revelation, if your lost confused your living from man's soulish fallen nature God speaks through the holy spirit to your spirit which then goes through the soul to the body, living from the soul the spirit is dead disconnected and self conscious to be God conscious you must live in spirit, which is being in the pressence of gods living word, man cannot by science knowledge or reasoning ever know 1 the nature of god 2 man's own origins 3 your winner nature it will be a mystery to you living self consciously from the soul you cannot receive truth divine revelation or God, being born again in Jesus Christ you receive spiritual eyes and a new heart which hears the word of god and can then see the truth the holy spirit speaks to you direct to your spirit the only way to eternal life is through Jesus he purifiers your nature to pure spirit soulish nature is corrupted self centered sinful it cannot be saved that's why God gave Jesus he paid for all corrupted man's sin in full so you can be saved purified born a new creation forgiven salvation can only come through repenting of your old self you sacrifice the self and are new please watch Derek Prince he will help guide you back to God
Derek Prince is one of the demonic-like pastors! Stick with John Butler here, and avoid such pastors like Derek like the plague.
I love John but why does he talk like he's dying of terminal cancer? He's in his early eighties. He could very well live awhile longer with his attitude and exercise.
Any 80 year old I’ve met is basically done and wants to go
@@ryansmloh3400 Untrue. I know several that desire to keep living and have more to offer.
@@rocknrollstar2798 well it’s not ‘untrue’ I speak to them regularly, countless hospital visits, take your pick on what goes wrong physically and mentally if it’s not already happened before then, lots of there friends/husbands/wives have passed on/ family etc, very lonely, that’s great you know of 80 year olds and above that still want to achieve and do things but Ide say that is the vast minority for that age.
@@ryansmloh3400 I'd say a great many are like John, content and accept that they will go at some point sooner rather than later. But certainly not depressed. I think it's perfectly feasible to be healthy and active at 80.
@@rocknrollstar2798 yeah I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just stating facts from who I’ve met at the age of 80 and above
He has made alot of money off this channel and off his merchandise , it's time to buy a razor
Empty nonsense.
