About this episode

John Butler shares profound insights on life, love, and death from his unique perspective as an 89-year-old.

Born country boy and farmer, with a longing for God, John Butler has led an extraordinarily interesting but largely unknown life, recorded only in notes, diaries, letters etc which, for many years lay, half-forgotten in the cupboard - until he published his first books, ‘Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment’ in 2008 at the age of 71, and ‘Mystic Approaches’ in 2012. Unexpectedly, in 2017, he was interviewed on Conscious TV which, to his surprise, was well received. Encouraged to make further videos, John launched the Youtube channel, ‘Spiritual Unfoldment.'Timestamps: 00:00 The Biggest Truth About Being Human 01:49 Why the Search Never Ends 05:17 The Unexpected Gift of Growing Older 09:42 What Silence Reveals About Consciousness 14:51 The One Thing That's Always With You 17:18 Why Most People Struggle to Sit Alone 21:07 Why More Money Doesn't Mean More Happiness 24:29 The Meaning of Real Love 27:56 Why Relationships Can't Complete You 30:07 Escaping the Ego 34:09 What Death Really Means 38:28 The Secret to Letting Go of Regret 42:21 What Makes Life Worth Living? 43:50 Final ThoughtsConnect with us: https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter​ (Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Newsletter)…
