Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
Byron Katie

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.

Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
Byron Katie
Image
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
