The Work always leaves you with less of a story. Who would you be without your story? You never know until you inquire. There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you. Turn it around undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.

Stress never feels as natural as peace does
Byron Katie
Image
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
Byron Katie

I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
Byron Katie

No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.

Byron Katie
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
Until you look forward to all criticism, your Work's not done.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Gratitude is what we are without a story.
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
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Image
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
