I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Byron Katie

Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.

The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.

The teacher you need is the person you're living with.
Byron Katie
Image
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie
Image
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
Byron Katie
Image
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie

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
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
