You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected

Image
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Byron Katie
Image
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
Image
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is a projection of our thoughts - the thoughts we believe.
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
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie
