When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
Image
Those questions - when you think about a thought, when you're believing a thought or concept and you question it - you realize that it changes things. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry.
Byron Katie

If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
Byron Katie

Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
Byron Katie
Image
If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.
Byron Katie

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
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.

Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
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
Image
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
Image
The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
Byron Katie
Image
When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.
Byron Katie
Image
Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
Byron Katie
Image
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
Byron Katie
Image
I love being free enough that I can be so intimate with people, and that people are free enough that we can all be intimate with each other!
