More quotes by Byron Katie
What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
Byron Katie
War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Byron Katie
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
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
Byron Katie
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
Byron Katie
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
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.
Byron Katie
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Byron Katie
What we believe, we see.
Byron Katie
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie
Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.
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.
Byron Katie
A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.
Byron Katie
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.
Byron Katie
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
Byron Katie
It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
Byron Katie
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
