I hope Me Butler knows his life work from his youth helping in S.America to his daily meditations silently happening over the decades has culminated in what his heart has always wanted. He is doing something and has been. Now the fruits are being shown in these videos. We’re fortunate to find ourselves here, hearing his story. This is a modern day Confessions of a Saint.

I just discovered John a few days ago. He is the first person that I can really connect with as one of the most profound people since my connection with a woman that walked across the U.S. for 28 some years known as Peace Pilgrim. Am disappointed that he transitioned 9 days before my birthday last year. I would have like to have sent him a message of great appreciation for sharing his divine message from spirit.

Thank you John. You are a blessing from God.

Meditation and stillness are the medicine for my soul. I love the John Butler video series. Please continue.

Type Moses on Wikipedia and learn what a total dumbfuck you are, Rube.

"Rather than me being the doer of good, it is the spirit doing the good and I am an obstacle of it". This is a very eye-opening perspective of life. Assuming the spirit is 'stillness' and 'presence', I am interpreting Mr. Butler's insight to mean that we can do good simply by 'being' instead of feeling the need to act. This may not apply to every situation but in my experience, asserting a calm demeanor and speaking/acting only when it is requested of me, seems to produce a warmer atmosphere for those persons in my presence.

Mr Butler is heaven sent. He has helped me so much. Never question why . Just listen . Deep silence

About to be 30 yrs old tmrw...my spirit wailes but I understand I am the prevailer of my life. Thank you God and teachers, for all your wisdom.

Mr Butler, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your many stories and wisdom.

I really love the “harvest” analogy! John’s spiritual garden is eternal🙏

"There are no questions there, no doubts, no uncertainty". This fascinates me. That we have an ability to reach such a position during our existence. I'm a million miles from such clarity but what strikes me most is; what have we done to ourselves!

Well said John. You have bought some comfort to this confused soul. Thank you.

Dear John on my own path to realization by just observing you has brought me to many revelations and looking back I see that it has all been the same revelation everytime. Just thank you for the love you mean more than I can express. Best wishes for you

Thank you so much. These videos are wonderful. I listen to them again and again.

We want more...we want more...I know we are not on a concert but...but silence of John penetrate into my heart and body and wake up joyful spirit more the a music at a biggest concert!!!

Do something? You’re clearly doing it. Thank Y✨U.

I think meditation and reflection is so vital. And since discovering John and this channel, I have become wholly inspired by his philosophy, biography, and his teachings. I’m exceedingly grateful for stillness and for John sharing his life and beliefs with us all. Because of it, I have come to feel much more grounded despite our troubled times, and more in touch with my spirituality too. Plus, I find John’s voice to be one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard. Thank you.

@12:50: He has watched the world change to something alien. The culture alone has changed so much, the world he grew with is for all purposes, dead. That should be enough to make him bitter and afraid. He is neither. That is testament to the power and worth of Spirit. Thanks for the work Jon (and Phil).

He isn't bitter or afraid of the modern world because,in every way,he lives on the outskirts of it. Funny how gurus never live in high rise hell.Be interested to see how long their peace would last in the grind that's assaults most people daily. That said, a part of me likes John....I think think

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

I think some people have forgotten that everyone has their own calling... I think he is trying to tell people how to be happy with their life... well what made him happy and "whole" in life.

You are leading by example John which is more than what most can say. Thank you for the enlightening videos

Dear John, you are a true blessing in my spiritual life thus enriching and stabilizing my daily life. May God bless you and keep you,,thank you again🕊

Thank you John for all the great spiritual work you’ve done in your life! It reverberates across the heart of humanity past, present and to come. Being comes before doing and there is no better therapy for our being than the Divine Therapy (as described by Thomas Keating) we go to when we meditate.

Starting my mornings with John Butler has been a true God-send. Thank you 🙏🥰❤️

Thankyou John for sharing what you have learnt on your journey thus far The peace of God is tangible

he's in la la land of touch with the 'real world'...like many 'guru types' who want to get into the rarified 'too spiritual' life they remove themselves from 'regular living' and sit on their 'mountain tops' looking down on others...if everyone was like John the world would be dull, lack playfulness, wildness and giggles...God is 'wild'...i am not a 'corrupt' being...he's clocked up bla bla hours in meditation...pure 'escapism'...i sound like i'm knocking him , guess i am...he sets himself up as an example of how 'others ought to be' and now way...Tollee, Papaji, Mooji, Dyer, Jung, Hillman, Thomas Moore and so many other people 'live in the real world'...this guy is 'sitting on top of a mountain'...good for him...wonderful...i trust and pray you love it there and live in the lap of peace beyond all understanding...he's escaped the everyday and decides not to 'engage' the ego and wildness and spontaneity...he come unglued standing in line at an airport counter...of course he's not going to be at an airport counter...anyone who lives in the church with those surroundings can 'easily be spiritual'...no big deal...etc.

Thank you.

Hey guys, I really enjoyed this video and the different format you are trying out. You all touched upon so many things I can reallly relate to, especially helping yourself before you try to help others. Its interesting to hear other perspectives in the mix, wish I lived close enough to visit with you myself. Maybe one day you could do an online Q & A sometime, seems as if there is still much to learn from you. ☺🙏❤

Dear John. I benefit so much from listening to your commentary. I especially harken to your advice to be wary of conceptual questions whoch obtrude into the world of spaciousness. These searching and seemingly plausible thoughts are so often a block to simple life. Thank you Thank you. Tim from Ireland and friend of Noel.x

As Spiritually as he still very Humble.

Great format!

Somebody once said that to me.. "You need to take care of yourself and better your own life before you can help others..." I've been doing that ever since. I'm always trying to find ways of self improvement. If something about my personality, or the way I react to something makes me feel "this isn't who I am.." I work out why I'm that way and try to fix it and understand it. It's a journey of enlightenment.

I still want to hug this guy.

Yes, 'sitting' is the disease of the 21st Century is what I heard, so when I asked my Zen teacher what he was doing, he said: Just Standing. Meditation is doing one thing at a time, that's all. The fall, or the curse upon the fall remains the fundamental problem we've addressed, and we're adapting to billions of cursors online now. Fatherland has been replaced by Motherland, and I support your effort to divine just what it is that Mother expects of us. I wholeheartedly agree to follow along to do what's right, but like you, I don't always know what to do next, so I meditate until the right answer comes, as you do.

Your words john are useful to me.....

Took me a while to figure out who he reminds me of. Of course he’s one of the Ents from LOTR!!!

Thank you

John, your meditation is the only best thing to do according to you is because it's not really meditation, as you have answered it yourself, its like a prayer. Basically, you are saying, meditation, which is spending time with your Creator, is the best thing anyone can do, especially those who 'tries to do something'. Therefore, if you want to make a difference, spend time with Jesus/God, and by no planned effort and your soothing voice, thousands ending up trying this life-changing 'no use' meditation. Some get the bonus of eternal life too. You rock 'Treebeard'.

Thankyou ♡♡♡
