The Nothingness of God
"Whoever speaks of God as Nothing speaks of God properly." So speaks German mediaeval mystic Meister Eckhart. In this conversation John Butler helps to unravel the meaning - how can you talk about the 'Nothingness' of God? "Before the great and wonderful, how vainly we try to capture it within our human folly".

John has a new book out! 'Mystic Beginnings'. How can one live unfenced and free within limits of human existence? Or satisfy love’s insatiable need in a world of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’? Describing the long, slow development of spiritual awareness, ‘Mystic Beginnings’ leads the reader through John Butler’s boyhood and army days … to wide, open spaces in Australia, farming, injury and business … bursting out to ‘Make the world a better place’ and, chastened, to return … back to farming, meditation, first stormy days of marriage and, then, in 1984, at the age of 47 – to see a woman as he’d never seen before …
This book was written soon afterwards in an attempt to understand. You can buy it here - https://spiritualunfoldment.co.uk/store/Mystic-Beginnings-p159806332
'Mystic Forbearance - in Russia'. Just over 100 years ago, the Russian Revolution started – man replaced God and the world began to change. From her homeland convulsed by civil war - like countless others with family uprooted and destroyed, a lost and lonely refugee, Mother was sent to England where, eventually she married and bore 2 children. At the age of 55, I returned to Russia for several years to rediscover my roots and incidentally write the notes which form the basis of my latest book, ‘Mystic Forbearance – in Russia’. This 2nd edition, with additions and corrections replaces the earlier, named ‘Oh, Russia’. It’s a large book of 600 pages, which cover almost every aspect of human existence, facing the great question of how spirit can strengthen to bear an unbearable world. John Butler - 2019
