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
When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.
Byron Katie
Image
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie

As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Byron Katie
Image
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie

I have had the privilege of losing everything.
Byron Katie
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
I like to say it was born out of laughter.
Byron Katie
Image
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
Image
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
Image
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
Byron Katie
Image
Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie
Image
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Image
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
