More quotes by 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 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
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.

My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie

The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Image
We cannot see what we don't believe.
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.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
