  • Broughton Tapes, Episode 6 - Love Sees Nothing but Love

    We are educated into ignorance. We see things as we are. Who is to judge? Love sees nothing but love.


    This is the sixth in a series of 12 conversations with John recorded at Broughton Sanctuary at Easter 2026. They will all be released to the public over the next few weeks.

  • Broughton Tapes #4 The infinite beyond

    What is Man? What is this shell of mortality which we inhabit. What is love? A love that is beyond, “I love you“. The infinite beyond. Beyond description. Beyond comprehension.

  • Perfect Days
    John & Phil have a conversation about the film 'Perfect days' about a Tokyo toilet cleaner and find a lot to agree about - and surprisingly 'spiritual' themes.
    Topics:
    Ordinary Life as Sacred Practice – A Tokyo toilet cleaner’s repetitive routine becomes a quiet meditation on dignity, care, and simplicity.
    Presence Over Plot – The film resists conventional narrative, inviting attention to how life is lived rather than what happens.
    Mindfulness Tested by Disruption – Family visits and subtle losses wobble the calm, revealing the limits of composure when life intrudes.
    Beauty in Small Things – Sunlight through leaves, cleaning by hand, tending plants, shared smiles—fleeting moments as meaning.
    Honest Spirituality – Skepticism toward tidy spiritual answers; valuing sincerity, vulnerability, and “honest failure” over pretence. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

  • Broughton Tapes #2 Why is Jesus called the Lamb of God?
    Why is Jesus called the Lamb of God? The Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. This Lamb that came down into the world to die for man is not only what's called the incarnation of Jesus. It's every creature that similarly dies so that man may eat so that man's incompletion may be nourished. So not only every lamb but every grain of wheat, the porridge we had for breakfast, the egg, the avocado pear - every creature that is sacrificed for man is a mini Jesus.

  • What Are Thoughts?
    What are thoughts? Wobbly! The only thing you can trust is this Presence. I’ve almost forgotten what it is to think. Thoughts seem to me now a phenomenon long forgotten. I’m not a man. I don’t have a name. I don’t have a form. I’m this. I’m complete. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

    John & Phil share their experiences with AI - for good or for ill - starting with a discussion on an AI generated video about Einstein which they both watched. John asks whether any words of man are reliable. "The tongue advertising its own ego. A work of the devil." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
