Image
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.
Byron Katie
Image
The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
Byron Katie
Image
The Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
Byron Katie
Image
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.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
Image
To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
Byron Katie
Image
There is no mistake in nature.
Byron Katie
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
Image
If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.
Byron Katie
Image
A dishonest yes is a no to yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Byron Katie
Image
The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
Byron Katie
Image
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
Byron Katie
Image
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
I love being free enough that I can be so intimate with people, and that people are free enough that we can all be intimate with each other!
