John Butler talk June 2


Sunday, June 2 we will meet at my office in Binghamton at 2 pm for 15 minutes of silent meditation followed by a discussion of the spiritual teachings of Christian mystic John Butler. 
John's story is interesting and unusual in some ways, yet also very familiar. ​We will look at his unique teaching style as demonstrated in these videos, and his current meditative practice of the Jesus Prayer, as taught in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. Here is a description of John from his book publisher: "Growing from a country childhood, John’s natural mysticism developed into organic farming and meditation. Much later, when life fell apart, it took him through depression and years of wandering in deserts of different sorts before gradually coming to realize that all appearing to be lost on earth is spiritually found." 

Here are links to several YouTube videos of John in action, being himself:
