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

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
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
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

As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
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
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie

With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
