Nothing wrong, nothing missing (ASMR)

In this special ASMR edit John emphasises the common sense path to spiritual realisation - "Feet on the ground; look and listen. You can never be closer to God than here and now."
John Butler's voice has been called "the sleepiest voice ever" and with over 20m views (or rather listens) of his most popular 'ConsciousTV' interview, John explains why he is pleased people find rest with his voice.
John says "I welcome ASMR with open arms and if people find my videos, which they call 'unintentional ASMR', give them an ASMR feeling then I am delighted and I feel totally at home with it." Many viewers say "I came for the voice; I stayed for the wisdom."

Just sooo great to listen to. I’ve started a channel mainly because of his voice. Thanks John and Phil.

[@oceso]

@@mana2k1 yes, because every prohpet is a delusional barely-person with a delusion of grandeur. this man has not said anything of substance in the last 20 years. but because people are animals, we dont understand jack shit, and therefore, think that evoking a feeling is the same thing as something to do with a god. in reality it is only about our evolutionary need to be in a group, therefore it feels good for the same reason that it feels good to make children, whilst being more intricate of a concept, leading to a blank needing to be filled. a god.

[@adrianthomas1473]

What you teach is basic Christianity that the churches seems to have forgotten. The churches are so often all about intellectual belief about God rather than direct knowing of God. What you say is all in Brother Lawrence and his Practice of the Presence of God. Thank you for your witness.

[@Sarah-bx6xr]

I think he is so so special. I could listen to him all day long. What a beautiful man he is. 🙏 🙂😊

[@joroboro]

In the history of Eastern Orthodox Christianity there is the tradition of the 'starets' - literally 'old man'. He is someone who is not a part of the church hierarchy (not a priest, not a monk). He is known in his village not only as experienced in spiritual matters but as someone who lives in the presence of God. He is not intelligent but wise, he is not powerful, but has authority and serves as a guide/adviser to people of the village in their struggles. His role is fully accepted and recognized by the church even though he's outside of its institutional body. Today social media has shrunk the world into a global village and we are all clumsily learning how to live with each other without constantly reaching for the pitchforks. I feel that John is a starets to all of us. Bless him for this, bless everyone who has come here to listen to his guidance, and bless us all as we learn to live as brothers and sisters. Amin

I first noticed John Butler many years ago. I enjoyed his voice and the things he said. After awhile, I realized he would be good for ASMR. I encouraged him and told him he could make money just by talking. Then I lost touch for a few years and when I returned to see what was going on with John later, he had taken my advice and was making money, until he passed away.

So miraculous! John's father taught him 2 things that John says aided him his whole life. He taught John to notice things. Yup, by cracky, he said, "When you swing your hammer, hit the nail straight. When you saw wood, listen to and watch the motion of the saw". Isn't that brilliant? John would never have thought of it on his own, his father must either have been a super genious or was this yet another grand miracle directly from god? He talks about how god was always there for him. And when he wasnt, John would have to pretend his god was actually there, performing great miracles such as sawing! I mean, who actually knows how to use a hammer? Or a saw for that matter? His father knew how. And his loving and invisible god, who never gives us more than we can handle, or at least while we are alive anyway, always looked after John, keeping him out of harms way, protecting him from sadness, depression and even divorce didnt stoo there either. He may not always had a roof over his head but he would rent cars for free, never needing to pay money for them, so god provided a roof over his head. And when god DID give him too much, John could always bail out on his wife. He could just abandon his wife and his farm whenever things got tough. No children meant freedom so god was good to not give him any babies to be stuck with. Im sure god took care of Johns wife and farm. And see? Look at how great Johns life turned our. It can only be yet another miracle from Johns buddy, friend and pal, Sky Daddy we like to call him. Go in peace, John. We thank god for all you have taught to us!😅

[@tron.44]

You don't have to be a dick about it, most of us are aware there is no god. But sometimes it's nicer to let folks be, and enjoy what they offer. It doesn't cost or hurt you to listen to John, unless you have youtube premium like my baller self. Don't give atheists a worse name, try not to seethe so much with sarcasm and high-horsery. Let a nice old man be, nobody is perfect. Nobody, that includes YOU. The non-existent God knows what you've done to hurt others😅

[@deborahkent3852]

Love this guy's voice and how he grounds himself and practices mindfulness which due to his indoctrination he believes is a Jesus figure as others would link to their religious god.

Honestly you are right. I think decades of meditation has warped his mind. He has no understanding of the scripture he thinks he’s quoting from, and spirituality is more than meditation. The ASMR is strong in this one, but there is spiritual darkness for those who follow him.

@@unintentionalasmrjohnbutler The forbidden fruit was the knowledge of good and evil. With that comes discernment. We are required to judge between right and wrong. It's not a choice we can make.
