The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
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 Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
Byron Katie
Image
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
Image
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
Image
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
Image
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
Byron Katie
Image
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Byron Katie
Image
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
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
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
That's huge: just to clean up one ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
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
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
Image
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
