The ability to understand the cause of your own suffering gives you the ability to understand ours.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.
Byron Katie
I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
What we believe, we see.
