Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
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.
Byron Katie
Image
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie
Image
No one can hurt me - that's my job.

Clarity moves much more efficiently than violence or stress.

Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.

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.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

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
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
Image
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.
Byron Katie
Image
I invite everyone to question their thoughts about their children and allow their children to be free. That's when we stop teaching our children fear.
Byron Katie
Image
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
Byron Katie
Image
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
Image
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
Byron Katie
Image
I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
Byron Katie

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
