In my experience, we don't make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn't personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.

More quotes by Byron Katie
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
Byron Katie
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
Byron Katie
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.
Byron Katie
Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.
Byron Katie
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
Byron Katie
