Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler

I think both of you are a bit off. He’s not perfect and he’s damn sure not talking fairy tales. If you think nothing he says is of any value or truth, then it just shows how limited your experience really is. We can only see a small percent of what exist. Science itself will tell you that is so.

@My2Cents1 5 жыл бұрын

I don’t think anyone can judge the experience of another. To you it’s all fairytales but to those who have seen what they perceive as higher existence, it’s all very real. And then there are those who have seen nothing but choose to believe in it anyway. They’re of course all fools to you. But that’s your mindset. You say John has never done anything for the world, and from listening to him, I think he would agree with you. It’s part of the philosophy to not engage with the world. It’s exactly the message he conveys. Others here will probably disagree with John, and say he is doing a lot of good for a lot of people.

@Corvus Morve I had the same opinion as you, I am an atheist but the more I listen to him the more I see that he does not speak about God/Jesus in the way in which j was rared with, he speaks at a deeper level of theory, thought and spirit (i use spirit here lightly). Contribution can be measured in many ways but what I do know is that he has contributed a lot through KZfaq, maybe that counts perhaps?

I've decided to become the person I thought they were. I've decided to do my best to protect those around me and stop people like them from harming any more. I refuse to let this person's mistakes make me a worse person. I will be better than them.
