Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie
Image
When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
Byron Katie
Image
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
Byron Katie
Image
And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.
Byron Katie
Image
Eating, drinking, and depression disorders are really thinking disorders.
Byron Katie
Image
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
Image
As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Byron Katie
Image
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
The Work always leaves you with less of a story. Who would you be without your story? You never know until you inquire. There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you. Turn it around undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.
Byron Katie
Image
When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
Gratitude is what we are without a story.
Byron Katie
Image
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie

You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
