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.

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
When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
Byron Katie
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.
Byron Katie
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.
Byron Katie
Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.
Byron Katie
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
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
Byron Katie
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Byron Katie
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
Byron Katie
No one can hurt me - that's my job.
Byron Katie
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
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.
Byron Katie
I am the perpetrator of my suffering - but only all of it.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without the thought I need more money to be safe? You might be a lot easier to be with. You might even begin to notice the laws of generosity, the laws of letting money go out fearlessly and come back fearlessly. You don't ever need more money than you have.
Byron Katie
I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.
Byron Katie
There's no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.
