Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler

At first sight, John Butler is not one to make much of an impression. A quiet, softly-spoken English gentleman, he became known in the 1970s as one of the first organic farmers and was featured in the BBC documentary 'Three Acres at Bicker Fen'. Then he disappeared. Having continued to practice meditation for over 40 years, 8 years ago, at the age of 79, he was 'discovered' and today his teachings on the practice of meditation, 'The Common Sense Guide to Meditation', have been viewed 25 million times. John Butler - called by some "the best unintentional ASMR voice ever" - will encourage you in your practice... and he won't mind one bit if you fall asleep to "the sleepiest voice ever". Many listeners say they came for the voice but stayed for the wisdom.

Thank you for the quiet wisdom. Not of what's real and good is complex. :)
