More quotes by Byron Katie

Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
Image
As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
Byron Katie
Image
You don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.
Byron Katie
Image
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
Image
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Image
To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
Byron Katie
Image
The miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Image
It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.
Byron Katie
Image
When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
Byron Katie
Image
I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
Byron Katie
Image
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Byron Katie
Image
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
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
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind at war with itself does war with any other mind, and that produces war in the world - all of it.

What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
