I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie
Image
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?
Byron Katie
Image
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
Byron Katie

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
Byron Katie

No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.
Byron Katie
Image
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.

Even breathing is a contribution.

The Work always leaves you with less of a story. Who would you be without your story? You never know until you inquire. There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you. Turn it around undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.
Byron Katie
Image
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought I need more money to be safe? You might be a lot easier to be with. You might even begin to notice the laws of generosity, the laws of letting money go out fearlessly and come back fearlessly. You don't ever need more money than you have.
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Byron Katie
Image
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
Joy is a natural way of being.
Byron Katie
Image
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
