Quote

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.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.

If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
Byron Katie
Image
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
Byron Katie
Image
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I have had the privilege of losing everything.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.
Byron Katie
Image
It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie

What we believe, we see.
