Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.

Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
Byron Katie
Image
Love is action. It's clear, it's kind, it's effortless, and it's irresistible.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
Image
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Byron Katie
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
