More quotes by Byron Katie
The pain shows you what's left to investigate.
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
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.
Byron Katie
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
Until you look forward to all criticism, your Work's not done.
Byron Katie
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
Byron Katie
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
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
What we believe, we see.
Byron Katie
When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
Byron Katie
Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.
Byron Katie
So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, Who cares if you're enlightened forever?
Byron Katie
So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
Byron Katie
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
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
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
I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.
Byron Katie
