| 4/30/26 | Come Home Where You Belong | In the Chakra Lounge, Bakewell, John chats with visitors from Germany, Scotland and most parts of England, who have meditated with him in All Saints church for a week. "We experience life with two aspects - one changes, the other doesn't - the transitory and eternal. We can follow either so, which do we choose? Be insatiable for love. The love that never says 'No'. It calls, 'Come to me, beloved. Come home where you belong'. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 4/23/26 | Dealing With Thoughts | It's a fundamental aspect of the Work to practice attentiveness. Whatever we're doing, work with attention. Even leaning on a stick with attention is a wonderful thing. If enough attention is gathered to a single point, it becomes almost miraculous. Attention is a very good way of dealing with thoughts - when you listen to something with full attention there's no more left to give to thoughts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 4/16/26 | Running Out Of Words | "I don't seem to have the words in me. Just as the body dies out so do words. A much better teacher is Nature - just look up at the sky. Or listen to the 'tick-tock' of an old clock. A dog resting its head on your lap looking up at you in silence. Much better."" This is the last of the current 'Inside Story' series in which John explores more deeply the 'windows of realisation' in his most popular book 'Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment' (Chapter 40).

| 4/9/26 | The Trouble With Talking | Talking is normal. It is seen as odd if you don’t talk. The trouble with talking is it separates us – we are inevitably talking about “my“ experience – yours and mine. In duality, this emphasises our separation. Talking imposes separation on the world that without us is not separate. Are the trees separate from the grass? Are the birds separate from the sky? When we stop talking, the world falls back to peace. In deeper communion, we find stillness. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 4/2/26 | Broughton News | John reveals the latest news about his collaboration with Broughton Sanctuary. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising. | — | ||||||
| 3/27/26 | Life is my teacher | The real teacher in my life has always been nature. I’m not an intellectual sort of man. I’m not a thinking man at all. I’m not really interested in thinking my way to God – I never have been. I’m not the sort of man that reads books or goes to human teachers. I find the significant lessons are simply what's given to me day by day in my interaction with the living world. This is my teacher – life itself. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 3/20/26 | What I'm Made Of | "There was no doubt where my heart belonged. It was a frightening and deeply moving experience for me to go to Russia for the first time and realise that’s where my mother came from - and I, too. It’s what I'm made of."" Completing the 'Inside Story' series in which John explores more deeply the 'windows of realisation' in his most popular book 'Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment' (Chapter 32).

| 3/13/26 | What is 'theosis' and does it matter? | In this first 'long distance' conversation with John at Broughton Sanctuary, John & Phil explore the Orthodox concept - or rather practice - of theosis. Divinisation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising. | — | ||||||
| 3/6/26 | Looking For Clues | Gradually, by the elimination of mistaken ideas, we may lessen and even eliminate worship of the individual which is so current today.

| 2/27/26 | What's The Matter With Books? | "I look back on all those ten books as so many words that are passed. The most satisfactory ending to my tenth and last book is that I simply run out of words. Or rather, I grow out of words. The best thing we can do to further our spiritual progress is to stop talking. Words inevitably signify duality and the essence of spirituality is to find, beyond duality, Unity."

| 1/30/26 | Lost In Thought | John advocates losing interest in thinking itself — likening thoughts to a heartbeat: unnoticed unless you focus on them. John’s reflections on personal suffering, compassion for animals, and bearing others' burdens echo the Christian understanding of redemptive suffering. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 1/30/26 | Chakra Chat - 'Spiritual Bypassing' | I am not so keen on this idea of spiritual bypassing. Hasn't all we experienced served its purpose in its time and place?

| 1/30/26 | Chakra Chat - Pure In Heart | What is purity? Or, what is impurity? The primary impurity is the Idea of separation. Me. To the pure all things are pure.

| 1/30/26 | Non-Duality | In this conversation Phil tries to trip John up on non-duality - not two. How does this apply to Creator and creature, or the relationship between Jesus and believer?

| 1/30/26 | Blessing In Disguise | I think unhappiness is one of the great spurs to moving in the right direction. And many people who don't do it are just not sufficiently unhappy in this world. Therefore, the more the more miserable we are living in this world, it is probably a blessing in disguise. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 1/30/26 | Chakra Chat - Into Thy Hands | A most important principle in meditation is "don’t look for results”. The 'now' doesn’t change. It is eternally and ever the same.

| 1/30/26 | What's Wrong With Me? | What is this disease called John Butler? We think man is the pinnacle of creation when really, he's the pits. This is a most important spiritual realisation: instead of “What’s in it for me?“, “My rights“, "My entitlements", we'd be better off considering what’s wrong with me.

| 10/16/25 | Impromptu #2 - The Jesus Prayer | "In this impromptu chat, the second at Cliff College, John addresses: differences between Eastern and Western Christianity origins of 'The Jesus Prayer' on Russia - ""These people are my people"" in the real world there is no death when present we are 'in love' and free from fear why love affairs go wrong in the real world there is only one time - eternity pure and impure, divine and demonic meditation is the practice of letting go attachment to our separate identity we can never not be in Jesus be determined for freedom how to deal with thoughts whatever you attend to expands and seems more real practical exercise in the use of 'The Jesus Prayer' Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
