The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.

I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
Image
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron Katie

I would go out into the desert. The desert was my teacher. I didn't know about gurus and wise people-I wasn't a reader.
Byron Katie
Image
When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.
Byron Katie
Image
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
