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.

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
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
The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.
Byron Katie
Image
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Image
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie

I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.
