More quotes by Byron Katie
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
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
The pain shows you what's left to investigate.
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
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
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
I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's.
Byron Katie
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
Byron Katie
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
Byron Katie
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
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
