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.

Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie

When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
Byron Katie

If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind at war with itself does war with any other mind, and that produces war in the world - all of it.
Byron Katie
Image
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
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.
