Byron Katie

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

One morning in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
Byron Katie

Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
Image
I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
Byron Katie
Image
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
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
Byron Katie
