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
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie
Image
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

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

No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
Image
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Image
I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
Byron Katie
Image
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
Byron Katie
Image
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
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Image
I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.
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
Image
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
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
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
Image
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
Image
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
Image
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
