- One of the principal questions that human beings have wrestled with since time began - why do we suffer? Why do bad things happen to good people? John, too, wrestles with the answers.

But me and the homies litsen to this king of ASMR
You are very welcome in this safe space coming to rest. Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldment I have a question: why do people react so negatively to things that look bad?
Hee hee! Me too!
Is E-girl asmr a thing?
You are speaking the script sent from heaven
This man can read me the back of a cereal box and I’d be satisfied.
Totally!
haha nice!
Totally ASMR.

"We don't learn much from being a success, we learn more from being failures."
-John Butler
I’m just using me fables
What if I’m tired of learning and just want to be a success already? How many more failures will this damn ride have before it goes right. Ew
Oh crap well then I must be a genius how many things I'm learning
Dear Mr. K. Dilkington, you are one of our most valued customers...
I threw it in the bin
We as humans need struggle to stay sharp and strong. Not to be comfortable all of the time. What we find out through struggle, that we're tougher than we think which leads to personal realization.
if he was my grandpa i would make him tell me stories all the time
Yeah youre right He is like Santa claus Christmas man or something 😂. He Sees Very wise and sweet at the same time that gives you this comfortable feeling 👍🏼
Nice tongue.
ryanne I prefer my grandpa as it’s like a call of duty storyline XD
I know right he's the perfect grandfather to tell stories to you
Omg I remember when my grand mother used to do that for me. Ohhhh how I miss being a child. I wouldn’t go to sleep until she told me a good night story.
I need 8 hours video of this man talking with no interviewer at all .
orven afia just gimme 1 hour of this guy licking his lips and you'll need a freight train to wake me!
Buy his books?
Idk why the interview feels the need to speak so much..just let him ramble!

The real question should be “why do good things happen to bad people”
For them to intertwine themselves more into their egos and thus further away from God.
same same
Not all bad people get good things, I'm a horrible man, done things for fun and pleasure. Shit happends to me everyday
If one wishes bad things to happen for bad people, that makes the said person good?
@@MF175mp agree, but also all relative..
I drive to work every day work for 9hrs I go home and can't remember where the day has gone. I am conscious but not aware that life is passing by sometimes. It's good just to take a moment and remind yourself of the here and now . I hope that makes sense.
Dude Monkfish you can’t remember where the day has gone because you’ve been driving for 9 hours. Move closer to work.

Sorry Paul I meant to say I drive to work then I work for 9 hrs. It would be nice to retire.

John "think of being asleep"... Me: fell asleep
John says the purpose of meditation is to bring us to rest. That worked, then. :-) Phil
@@SpiritualUnfoldment do you know springbok asmr? She helps me with depression.
lol me too
I was going to say heavy vibes of unintentional asmr here!! 😴😴
Trash Man Who are you talking to? Are you idiot? You are in the wrong comment section pal.
This man's existence is so effortless I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to keep going another 70 years.
This man is the grandpa we all need.
The mic is just the right distance from his mouth for some of the sounds to induce ASMR. Such a soft spoken person.
Adrian Heath there's always one😩
the beard too also adds to the effect, love this mans voice
Beeter than any asmr videos out there
Theres videos where he went to south America as a volunteer. Out there. Forrest or jungle. Farming 🚜
asmr??
God bless this man
Jared Gold amen I’ve been seeing so many hate comments and it just annoys me so much

here's another hate comment for you...
this guy is a selfish asshat full of bullshit nonsense
@@spasticplastic You're a fucking weirdo.
I randomly stumbled over these videos of John. I’ve not been the same since.
Sean Wright, me too, but it may not be random, as I pray constantly for God to steer me to truth.
Me seeing these videos for the first time after being up all night
Same!!!!
u do seem different.
Please note. As the 333rd commenter to this reply by Sean. I would say that many resonate with his comment.
“We don’t learn much from being successful, but failures.” Best quote
I like how John implies that if there’s something wrong, you are likely the source of the problem. That is something that modern society hates to hear, yet desperately needs to know.
Spot on, the answers are always there in his videos, you just have to look
Yeah. Starving people, children, innocent people and children, babies dead from war....ye they desperately need to hear the problem is themselves.
Ben McDonnell you’re one of those I’m talking about.
Ben McDonnell obviously I am speaking about 1st world people.
Super Glued Im 34. Explain how i’m ‘one of those’ ?
I am not religious nor do I want to learn the history but John has helped me through a lot and I apreciate it. He is a pure soul and nothing can take that away from him. Keep chugging and I wish good health upon you 🙏🏼❤️
so he could speak all lies and jibberish and you would still enjoy...
I came here to see him ride that little bicycle
I think you're missing the point of the video.
Big facts
@Im Everywhere Pink Floyd!
I’m not very religious but John Butler makes it sound so convincing
Thats because hes basically a hustler
Johnny13Ghost - Uh huh. Sure, dude.
Keanux12 im religious but why are you so aggressive

@@franco5316 wtf
This is another hard pill to swallow but that's where Faith comes in. I'm glad we have people older than myself to give us Hope
Im a muslim but i also enjoy listening to other believers n the gospel.i like philosophical questions and religious opinions.respect to all.and as a muslim i was thought that god almighty tests us through hardships to evaluate our faith and we all know that prophets have been through the most difficult times but they never complained because they have big faith.
🙏
Blessings To You🙏
Same. Except I am a Christian Baptist. But I agree 💯
Jesus said you must be born again meaning receiving his holy spirit by believing in the finished work on the cross .. read the Bible for yourself and let the Heavenly Father speak to your heart through it. John 3:16, John 14:6, Roman’s 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-10
The sweetest old man ever, I just wanna hug him and listen to a story, if only more people were as sweet as him
Imagine the suffering he had to go through to be this meek humble old man. Pain brings wisdom.
There are many people. I think there are people like him in some ways or another but we are all different in some ways or another.
Why did this comment make me emotional
What if he brought the bad things upon other people would you still want to listen to him? He already admitted to leaving his wife God knows that brought a lot of pain to his wife not him. Not so sweet now is he? And it wasn’t because she was bad to him he just had a spiritual awakening to leave her and cause pain! He seems very sweet but narcissistic!
@@kevinswaggerty3949 Finally, somebody with a functioning brain..🤗🤗🌬
“Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free wills involve,” C.S. Lewis wrote in contemplating how suffering confers agency upon life, “and you find that you have excluded life itself.”
thanks for this
Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler thank you
Had to read that 3 times. But worth it. Buddhists and Stoics would concur.
How can people honestly dislike him and his videos? Its beyond me. I could listen to this wonderful man all day. God bless John Butler.
I don't believe John talks nonsense. He is simply sharing his opinion. To not agree with his opinion does not mean it is nonsense (even if it does not make sense to you.) I think he is wise and poetic.
Finally, someone with a brain
levels of conciousness have absolutely nothing to do with the question. I'm not complaining though, i'd listen to this man talk about the pythagorean theorem and i'd be satisfied
He's sweet but being wise and poetic does not change the fact that he has not replied anything intelligible. Even I can be wise and poetic by saying deep random things while someone just asked a simple, straight forward question.
Like training under a Zen master.
It's not about answering your question, but leading you to a thought process. So you can experience your own realization.
@Matthew Jamison You can't hear him, your statement is purely intellectual, no disrespect meant at all.
‘We learn more from being failures’.
How true..
Thank you John and Phil❤️
This guy's voice is pure asmr
Stfu
Steven Stirling totally
Danny Dazzler no you
Austin Franklin hes just triggered he cant get triggered lol
I have never met a good person. I have met a person trying to be good.
Not one is good. Only the Father is Good.
We live in a world of sin good and bad is us, god see us perfect😊
@@jordanrenaud-pq7rx that's a load of bull...
@@corriethomson4431 He's telling the truth.
Why is 'trying to be good' not good enough to be considered a 'good person' ?
I’m getting flashbacks from the book cover “The Giver”.
Great book.
I remember reading it in school, it was an amazing experience. I'm glad our teacher picked it out, i taught me a lot. :)
Bad things can just happen to anyone regardless if they are good or bad or completely aware or not shit just happens how you react to it is the only control you have.
martyn spooner good point
Exactly
this isn't the question he was answering. this answer just futher mystifies the topic and isn't really an answer at all.
ironic, the more he talks about awakeness the more i feel sleepy. love it.
🤣 same. I want so badly to hear and learn.. but his voice is the only thing that calms my nervous system, and then I fall asleep
13:10 My face is LIT
I was gonna type that
I wonder what dreadful things he has done in his life as he mentioned...was it to do with farming I wonder.
OH FUCK YEA
LIIT
@@leasagna2202 ok zoomer
The opening scene of him on a bicycle is so refreshing
I want him to make more money from these videos, he deserves everything🙏🏻
if asmr was a person, it would be this man
I subbed hahaha
He sounds like Winnie the Pooh, I love it. Wonderful video makes you think spiritually.
I may not be religious, but this man has the message of life nailed down. I'm quite happy to listen to him talk
I usually hate when mics pick up every little mouth sound but this is an exception. This really helps to calm the mind because his voice is so soothing.
Love, peace and freedom! I just told a friend the other day you will never remove faith from people you may get rid of religion but never faith. Faith, Hope & Love sustain us through bad times.
How could you ever dislike this video. it's beautiful to listen to John.
This.mans voice is so kinddddd and no words to describe peace when U hear his voice the peace I feel ...
We certainly do learn from mistakes. But...you can only teach yourself to keep your own hand from the fire, others must learn it for themselves, and some never do.
The bad things that happen to us are not always a cause of something that we personally did wrong. Some days it’s very much as if someone else had hold of our arm and is forcibly holding in the fire. The bad things that happen do not always have a good reason. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of hateful, evil, selfish people trying to force their misery and darkness onto others.
There’s precious little we can do about those moments and I still haven’t learned how to avoid them. Seems like it’s less of an actual lesson, and more of a test in perseverance.
I wish I had the answers. But thank you once again for your words of wisdom, John. ❤️
The wisdom/advice here helped me greatly. The presence of God started coming back to me after a 6 months when I watched this. Thank you
They should advice "DO NOT DRIVE OR OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY WHILE LISTENING TO THIS AUDIO., MAY AFFECT YOU
When I notice that my day is beautiful, I would immediately be depressed since I know that bad things would happen because I experienced something good. It's like a curse man...
Things aren't bad,
We all face horror in the end, that's the curse.
@@Infusco ah shit you're right
I have to stop myself from going down a negative path whenever I wake up. I’m very hard on myself and expect so much of me too. John’s voice speaks from his gentle soul. I’ve just started Rich Hanson’s course on Neurodharma which is helping me get to where John has in his years of meditation. He’s an amazing man.
Yes, waking up can be hard. Hopefully with time and age we can relax into wisdom. Hope it is better for you presently. 🌈
Jesus Chirst can help you and will but only if you truly want and not this neurodharma
lie down,close your eyes and just listen...trust me,do it
Instructions unclear, closed eyes and woke up to a siren head video
He is like the perfect personification of the accumulated imaginations of all children what must be the ideal storytelling grandfather!
Glad to 👂 hear stories God bless you your mother raised a great 👍 man God smiled on you all sleep 💤 well
Thank you John for teaching me. Love and light 🕯🙏🕯
I wish this guy was my grandpa.
Be careful what you wish for
Your grandpa must be a real piece of work for you to wish that 🤭🤭
when i listen to him i somehow feel better and more calmer, i have no idea how or why but it does.
John's analysis of 'thinking' and 'not thinking' is almost the opposite of what one would expect. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing these wonderful interviews.
Listening to John speaking is way better than ASMR videos. This man just gives me so calm even I didn’t understand any word that he said
It appears, as life advances us into later years, we all collect our own unique life lessons. However, many are not as willing to share? Or haven't the ability to articulate their own past experiences into words? So much remains unspoken. Thanks to Phil & John for preserving these masterful expressions of one's experiences. These uploads are precious to us and for generations to come. Warm regards, Joan
Totally agree.
My grandparents left their country with the clothes on their backs n took long overcrowded boat ride to America. The settled on East coast, but ultimately resided in Utah.
There must be so much that they had experienced thru all of that travel. Sadly, they neither documented ( journals) nor did they share their stories verbally. Now done and dusted now. They've passed and took all with them.
Phil and John THANK YOU.
Brilliant content (and your hard work is noted). God bless🙏
Honestly, this is the softest and gentlest voice I have ever heard in my life! I’m already feeling relaxed and as if I’m about to fall right asleep after hearing mere moments of this man’s voice! Amazing! It doesn’t even matter WHAT the discussion is; the voice suffices every time!
John is a pure man. His voice is so calming and he talks so in depth about things. One time I fell asleep hearing his voice(I wish he was my grandpa so he could read me stories).
He's so cute on his bike 😭😭
Thank you so much John and Phil, every word rings true
Love this man. There is no god. Its just us. Humans animals love and the stars. No more, no less. And John xx
I hope deep from my heart, that, this man lives entirely.
Came for youtube recomendation, stayed for the ASMR
John you're on an upload bonanza! Very grateful!
Just beautiful to listen to. The voice of an angel. Thank you John 🙏🏻
23:53 - What a great answer. I admit I am an atheist. However, I enjoy listening to these discussions. Very soothing and calming , but also I enjoy hearing their points of view.
The problem is that we all give more interest to the comment section than to what he is saying.
And if we do listen,as soon as we don't agree with something we just write it down and stop listening again.
Let's all truly listen for once yeah?
True dat. Phil
Dear John, thank you so much for your beautiful videos, I have been captivated watching them for the last fortnight after a friend of mine suggested them. I feel an ever increasing oneness with God.
Thanks also to Phil for the wonderful vibe and free flowing intuitive style of dialogue.
Thank you both for bringing moments of clarity and peace to this old man.John,You are
like a real Santa to me.Always offering us wonderful free PRESENTS of PRESENCE.God knows we need these moments of REALITY.and BALANCE. Cheers and God bless the work.Have a nice day folks, Robert Parker
I've just discovered this series of videos and this wonderful man in the past few days. And everything he says is true, everything he's talking about I have learned in my own life. I'm basically finishing his sentences for him lol. I wish the same type of blessing upon every human being. If only people understood these things earlier in life, because the truth is the most valuable lessons in life actually come from adversity. I am so grateful that you have given this series to people to learn from and to gain further inspiration. ❤️💕🙏
The new king of ASMR
Sure! :D
Bob Ross: Hold my b- actually, let’s share it. Everybody needs a friend.
I wish John was my grandfather. He's awesome.
I have a complete new understanding of these questions after this. Faith unlocks the door. Faith is the higher understanding. Faith is the top of the mountain. Thank you John. You guys are great.
Thank you John for all of your words of wisdom.You will never know how you much you have helped me along my spiritual journey.God bless you all.

fell asleep last night listening to this man talk about nature and carpentry, AMAZING.
Oh my god,this amazing gentleman has his own channel. My dreams came true
:)
After listening to this a few times, I've answered the question in my own way. It's not that bad things happen to good people. It's that all things happen to all people. Life has no preference. Depends on your perspective.
He really touches my heart
Beautiful church gentleman! God bless you!
I feel that John will be remembered or known later in many others lives as a man of words who can speak with sense.
Am so happy that u made another video John butler am so happy am sub to your channel I pray for u and Phil every day I love u both ya'll r both amazing people
John kind of looks like old man Marley with the shovel from Home Alone.
Hah yeah, he does kind of look like him!
Came across another video and I have been hooked ever since. Such wisdom and genuine advice/information provided by this wonderful man. Much respect and admiration to him. May God bless him always💕.
I am feeling relaxed and calm by just listening to him. ❤
When this great soul starts talking I can't even concentrate. All I can do is cry. I feel like I'm hearing and seeing God...
Relax
That perfect beard induces perfect unintentional ASMR.
This is a question I've been looking for an answer to for a while. Thank you!
He feels so comforting, like asking my grandpa to tell me a story and life lesson.
Isn't it funny how there's thousands of ASMR CZcams channels but none of their voices even come close to sounding as good as John's, and he's not even trying. Lift your damn game, CZcamsrs!
Chernobyl Denier try GentleWhispering ASMR. She’s amazing.
Great wisdom, great voice,
I spent a lot of time in a church as a kid. I’m not religious myself, but my grandma was, and she used to help out at the church a lot. I remember a lot of the people there were just like this man, always so interesting relaxed and wise. The fact that he’s in a church made me think about that, and it evokes some good memories (:
Thank you John and Phil. Watching from Dublin. I watch all your videos. There a great comfort. 😎🙏🏻☘️
