I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
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
Joy is a natural way of being.
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
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie

I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.
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
Eating, drinking, and depression disorders are really thinking disorders.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
Byron Katie
Image
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear
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.

Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.
