Byron Katie quotes about
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
Lack of understanding is always painful.
I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, "Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think."
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Freedom is our birthright.
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
There is no thought or situation that you can't put up against inquiry. Every thought, every person, every apparent problem is here for the sake of your freedom.
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it.
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
Your parents are your projection-nothing more.
What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
