More quotes by Byron Katie
The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.
Byron Katie
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.
Byron Katie
Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.
Byron Katie
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
Byron Katie
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
The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.
Byron Katie
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
Byron Katie
A dishonest yes is a no to yourself.
Byron Katie
I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
Byron Katie
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
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.
Byron Katie
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
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
When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.
Byron Katie
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
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
