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.

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
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
Byron Katie
Image
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
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

Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
