If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.

More quotes by Byron Katie
Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.
Byron Katie
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
If something happens to your son, your thoughts about not having him in your life is what your terror is. It's not about his life.
Byron Katie
War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.
Byron Katie
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
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
We cannot see what we don't believe.
Byron Katie
all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear
Byron Katie
Love is action. It's clear, it's kind, it's effortless, and it's irresistible.
Byron Katie
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
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
Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.
Byron Katie
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.
Byron Katie
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
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
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!
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
That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
