Byron Katie quotes about
People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
If I want something, I go get it. Anything that I believe will stop me, I question.
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Inviting people to inquiry is much more powerful to me than describing my experience. When people hear me tell the story, they often say, "Oh my goodness, I get it. I get it!" But it's not enough.
When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.
When your mind opens, the whole world falls into place.
Would you rather be right or free?
As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
Who would you be without your story?
I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's.
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Each time your mind changes your whole world is changed.
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.
Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.
