Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Image
I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie

Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

I know that even at moments of apparent danger, nothing is out of order or lacking, other than our own unquestioned thoughts about those moments.

You don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.
Byron Katie
Image
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie

When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.

With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
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?
