More quotes by Byron Katie
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
Byron Katie
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
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
Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.
Byron Katie
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
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
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
Byron Katie
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie
We suffer only until we realize that we can't know anything.
Byron Katie
Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.
Byron Katie
No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
Byron Katie
The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.
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.
