There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I'm the one who changes the world if I can follow what I think should and shouldn't be lived in this world.
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
What we believe, we see.
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.
Byron Katie

Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.

It's just a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
Byron Katie
Image
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Byron Katie

If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.
Byron Katie
Image
My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie
Image
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie
Image
Self-realization is not complete until it lives in action.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
Byron Katie
Image
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.

Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
