People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

More quotes by Byron Katie
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.
Byron Katie
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.
Byron Katie
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
Byron Katie
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
Byron Katie
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.
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
No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
Even breathing is a contribution.
Byron Katie
No one can hurt me - that's my job.
Byron Katie
People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.
Byron Katie
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
Byron Katie
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Byron Katie
