Don't be disheartened John. Your videos help many people Immensely. You've helped me find that inner childlike peace again. The Lord put you here for a reason and put your video in my feed for a reason. You're helping people turn toward the light and even be saved. I hope to one day have a conversation with you before you pass John. Such a jolly old soul full of such joy.

If you want to have a deepdown conversation with John Butler, maybe you will some day. I would like that too.

[@linadjevalikian2775]

John , today is my birthday and while reading a passage of your book Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment , I found a passage so beautiful, that I wanted to share : “Every leaf is a mini-Christ, or we would say a member, or the body of Christ - teaching us the way. Gently, onobtrusively she covers our misdeeds, and heals the wounded earth. Well named the forgiveness of nature, she bears no grudge and brings no harm for harm. Often despised, rejected, trodden down by man, she too, most humbly bears the sins of others, and, ever faithful , dies to rise again. Dear grass. Dear Lord. “ Dear John, this was beautiful . Thank you for writing this book. Thank Phil ❤️xxxx

[@markussami5421]

Via these videos, that you have brought to us, there seems to be nothing but your personal wisdom, good will, sharing of invaluable experience from your personal book of "wanting to be a good (human) being." Nothing short of a good life's work. In my humble opinion It is void of any ill-will. Of course it is. And that is why I love John Butler. Thank you so much John, and Phil also!

[@p.p.6133]

With full respect, of course: John would have a lot to say, if he had a real conversational partner! Phil is the right one, because he has always good questions with great relevance! I therefore do not understand, why he "stays" hidden! too bad, it's a big loss for everyone! Please correct me if I'm not right!

[@gabes80]

Phil is great! I’ve been watching John for a long time now, and I like the solo videos because they are not only educational, I can also fall asleep to them. When Phil interviews John it’s a great video but it doesn’t have the same ASMR effect!

@@ho5286 Feel for you my friend, it would've been our girl's 13th birthday at the start of the week... a lot of people don't understand it's a family member you lose when your dog dies, my little brother was 10 and a half when we got her, he's now 22 and 8 months so she was around for more than half of his life, what makes her death so hard isn't just losing her but feels as though such a massive chapter in all of our lives has come to a close. Luckily I've grown up and now live with my fiancee and we have our own 4 year old black lab who's been a real comfort to me, still hurts like nothing I've ever felt before though.

I don’t get these videos and John’s understanding. Is he a Christian or a new age philosopher? How can he be both? Mediation is not found in scripture unless he’s referring to prayer. Confusing and convoluted.

[@gayabele4]

If you want to learn about John and his message it would probably help if you started with his early videos made a few years ago. I can see where this video would seem somewhat random. It has bits of teachings he has talked about much more directly in other videos.

[@Nathan-zd8ew]

Neither, he's a modern day genius and must be protected

[@mailjeffwebb]

There are different type of prayer: petitionary (asking God to help you), intercessory (asking God to help others), and contemplative (meditative prayer). There is the World Centre for Christian Meditation, which is a place to practice and learn about contemplative prayer. An example is the Jesus prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me a sinner) which can be repeated as a mantra - this is a form of contemplative prayer, often mentioned by John. Contemplative prayer was much practiced in the monasteries but the Reformation led to many of them being destroyed and now there is less emphasis on contemplative prayer in the Western churches, but it is a strong element of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Russia and elsewhere, and I think that it was during John's time in Russia that he began using the Jesus Prayer. There are some deep works of contemplative prayer from Medieval Christian Mystics such as Dark Night of the Soul by St John of the Cross, The Interior Castle by Teresa of Ávila, and the Cloud of Unknowing (anonymous, but thought to be written by a cloistered monk). So there is a rich contemplative tradition in Christianity and The World Centre for Christian Meditation is reviving and building upon this. So you can see that John's immersion in meditation is not inconsistent with his connection to Christianity and scripture (the aforementioned Christian Mystics were very aware of scripture, and you can find scriptural quotes in their work) .
