The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
Image
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
Image
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Image
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
An unquestioned mind is the world of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.
Byron Katie
Image
I am the perpetrator of my suffering - but only all of it.
Byron Katie
Image
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
Image
When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.
Byron Katie
Image
What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
Byron Katie
Image
My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie
Image
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie
Image
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
Image
No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.
Byron Katie
Image
How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
