More quotes by Byron Katie
It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Byron Katie
If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.
Byron Katie
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
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
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
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
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron Katie
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
Byron Katie
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
Byron Katie
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
One morning in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
Byron Katie
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Byron Katie
The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.
Byron Katie
That's huge: just to clean up one ecosystem.
