More From Byron Katie

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It.

Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.

Affecting The World Is Obviously Possible When We See People In The World Who We Really Love And Respect And We See How That They Affect Our Lives.

Love And Respect

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.

You Can’t Have Your Daughter As Long As You Have A Concept Of Her. When You Get Rid Of The Concept, You Meet Your Daughter For The First Time. That’s The Way This Works.

Never Be Fooled Into Believing That There Is One Speck Out Of Order.

You Are What Exists Before All Stories.

I Came To See That There Was Nothing To Forgive, That I Was The One Who Caused My Own Problems.

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.

When People Are Talking About Manifesting, We Can Say, "i Want A Car, I Want A Car, I Want A Car," But If The Mind Is Running, "i Don't Deserve It, I'll Never Be Able To Afford It, I'll Never Be A Success" - If All Those Things Are Running - Then Those Things Are What We're Really Manifesting. They Are Exactly What's Running Our Life. And As Long As We Believe Those Thoughts, Thinking Positively Is Not Strong Enough To Override Our Negative Beliefs.

No-one Can Disappoint You, Only Your Thoughts About Them Can

When Your Mind Opens, The Whole World Falls Into Place.

My Happiness Isn't Dependent On Anyone Else's.

When You Stay Present With Your Children, That’s Where Abundance Is. And When You Stay Out Of Their Business, That’s Where Everything You Deserve In Life Is. When You’re In Presence, There’s No Story, And You Are Abundance. And You Come To Trust That Space So Often That You Just Eventually Hang Out As That, Because There Is Nothing That Can Move You Out Of It, Not Even A Perceived Child Or A Perceived Anything.

Self-realization Is Not Complete Until It Lives In Action.

Once We Begin To Question Our Thoughts, Our Partners-alive, Dead Or Divorced-are Always Our Greatest Teachers. There's No Mistake About The Person You're With; He Or She Is The Perfect Teacher For You, Whether Or Not The Relationship Works Out, And Once You Enter Inquiry, You Come To See That Clearly.

This Is The Time. This Is The Place. This Is The Vastness. Right Here Is Paradise. Always. Always.

I Came To See That The World Is Always As It Should Be, Whether I Opposed It Or Not.

I Would Go Out Into The Desert. The Desert Was My Teacher. I Didn't Know About Gurus And Wise People-i Wasn't A Reader.

I Love Not Rushing The Process. Mind Doesn't Shift Until It Does, And When It Does Shift, It's Right On Time, Not One Second Too Late Or Too Soon. People Are Like Seeds Waiting To Sprout. We Can't Be Pushed Ahead Of Our Own Understanding.

Everyone Wants Peace, Inside And Outside, And We Would All Have It If We Knew How. Now We Know How. It Begins With You.

Whenever You Think That Your Needs Are Not Being Met, You’re Telling The Story Of A Future

I See The Goodness And Beauty In Everyone, And Everything Is A Gift Given For Me And For All Of Us. If You Don't Love It, Question Your Mind Until You Do.

The Only Time We Suffer Is When We Believe A Thought That Argues With What Is. When The Mind Is Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What We Want.

The Only Difference Between Heaven And Hell Is Believing A Thought.

Being Present Means Living Without Control And Always Having Your Needs Met.

Live In The Moment

There Is No Security For Those Who Seek It Outside Of Themselves.

You Might Believe That It's Only For Their Own Good, But How Does It Feel When You Try To Manipulate The People You Love? Are You Teaching Them That Your Love Is Conditional? Maybe Through Inquiry We Can Find Another Way.

I Teach People To Question Their Thinking, And This Changes Their World.

The Work Always Leaves You With Less Of A Story. Who Would You Be Without Your Story? You Never Know Until You Inquire. There Is No Story That Is You Or That Leads To You. Every Story Leads Away From You. Turn It Around; Undo It. You Are What Exists Before All Stories. You Are What Remains When The Story Is Understood.

There Is No Mistake In Nature.

Once The Mind Is Met With Understanding, It Can Always Find Its Way Home.

The Perfect World Is Created When The Mind Is Free To See It.

When A Thought Appears Such As "do The Dishes" And You Don't Do Them, Notice How An Internal War Breaks Out... The Stress And Weariness You Feel Are Really Mental Combat Fatigue.

It's Not Possible To Have A Problem Without Believing A Prior Thought. To Notice This Simple Truth Is The Beginning Of Peace.

Sometimes The Concept You're Questioning Makes More Sense To Ask Just The Second One And Not The First One.

Law Of Attraction

Happiness Is A Clear Mind. A Clear And Sane Mind Knows How To Live, How To Work, What Emails To Send, What Phone Calls To Make, And What To Do Do To Create What It Wants Without Fear.

I Can't Love You As You Have Been Or Will Be. I Can Only Love You As You Are.

So What Is It With Your Mother That You Haven't Worked Out Yet?

It Takes Only One Person To Have A Successful Relationship.

Successful Relationship

I Can Just Talk About My World, And People Relate To It Because It's So Familiar To Them. It's Them, It's Not Me. They're Hearing Themselves.

You Would Be Amazed At Who People Are Once You Know Yourself.

Every Single Human Being Is Trying His Best. We're All Doing The Best We Can. But When We Believe What We Think, We Have To Live Out Those Thoughts. When There's Chaos In Our Heads, There's Chaos In Our Lives. When There's Hurt In Our Thinking, There's Hurt In Our Lives. Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself? I Always Have. When I Hated Me, I Hated You. That's How It Works. If I Hate Someone, I'm Mistaking Them For Me, And Solutions Remain Hidden.

My Mother Became A Believer, And Then I Became A Believer. But When I Was 43 Years Old, I Began To Think For Myself, Somehow, By Fluke And By Grace. And I Thought, "oh, My. I Was So Mistaken." The World Isn't What I Believed It To Be. I Am Not What I Believed Me To Be, And Neither Is Anyone.

Place Only Your Kindest Thoughts On Everything You Experience Today. Meet Yourself.

I Discovered That When I Believed My Thoughts, I Suffered, But That When I Didn’t Believe Them, I Didn’t Suffer, And That This Is True For Every Human Being. Freedom Is As Simple As That. I Found That Suffering Is Optional. I Found A Joy Within Me That Has Never Disappeared, Not For A Single Moment.

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.

Your Suffering Is Never Caused By The Person You're Blaming.

No One Has Ever Been Angry At Another Human Being-we’re Only Angry At Our Story Of Them.

God, As I Use The Word, Is Another Name For What Is. I Always Know God's Intention: It's Exactly What Is In Every Moment.

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.

Reality Is Always Kinder Than Your Thinking.

A Dishonest Yes Is A No To Yourself.

If Our Stressful Thoughts Aren't True, What Does That Leave? It Leaves, "i Am Loveable" - The Very Thing I Could Never Make Myself Believe, Because "i'm Unloveable" Overrides It When The Chips Are Down.

As We Watch The World Embrace The Olympics In The Coming Days, Let Us Remember Why The Modern Olympics Came Into Being: To Bring Nations Closer Together, To Have The Youth Of The World Compete In Sports, Rather Than Fight In War. As Long As We Believe Our Own War-driven Thoughts, There Will Always Be War, In Ourselves, In Our Families, And In Our World. As Long As We Believe Our Thoughts, There Will Always Be War.

I Suffered From Severe Depression For Over A Decade. My Condition Deteriorated Steadily. I Was Suicidal.

My Experience Is That The Teachers We Need Most Are The People We're Living With Right Now.

If I Think That Someone Else Is Causing My Problem, I'm Insane.

The Opening To Reality, As It Really Is, Is Beauty.

After You've Been Doing Inquiry For A While, If You Have The Thought "she Doesn't Love Me," You Just Get The Immediate Turnaround With A Smile: "oh, I'm Not Loving Myself In This Moment."

Hurt Feelings Or Discomfort Of Any Kind Cannot Be Cause By Another Person. No One Outside Me Can Hurt Me. That’s Not A Possibility. It’s Only When I Believe A Stressful Thought That I Get Hurt. And I’m The One Who’s Hurting Me By Believing What I Think. This Is Very Good News, Because It Means That I Don’t Have To Get Someone Else To Stop Hurting Me. I’m The One Who Can Stop Hurting Me. It’s Within My Power.

It's Just A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

Pay Close Attention To The Particular Thoughts You Use To Deprive Yourself Of Happiness.

With Inquiry, Every Painful Story Unravels. Freedom Is Possible In Every Moment.

Some Of Us Are Returning To Sanity, Because We're Tired Of The Pain. We're In A Hurry. No Time To Mess Around.

The World Is Nothing But My Perception Of It. I See Only Through Myself. I Hear Only Through The Filter Of My Story.

The Ego Is Terrified Of The Truth. And The Truth Is That The Ego Doesn't Exist.

I Saw That We're All Doing The Best We Can. This Is How A Lifetime Of Humility Begins.

Who Would You Be Without The Thought "i Need More Money To Be Safe?" You Might Be A Lot Easier To Be With. You Might Even Begin To Notice The Laws Of Generosity, The Laws Of Letting Money Go Out Fearlessly And Come Back Fearlessly. You Don't Ever Need More Money Than You Have.

When A Thought Hurts, That’s The Signal That It Isn’t True.

It's Not What Happens In Life That Bothers Us. It's What We're Believing About It That Bothers Us.

Bottom Line Is, If Someone Says Something About Me And It Upsets Me, It's True.

Personalities Don't Love. They Want Something.

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours And God's. Much Of Our Stress Comes From Mentally Living Out Of Our Business. When I Think, "you Need To Get A Job, I Want You To Be Happy, You Should Be On Time, You Need To Take Better Care Of Yourself," I Am In Your Business. When I'm Worried About Earthquakes, Floods, War, Or When I Will Die, I Am In God's Business. If I Am Mentally In Your Business Or In God's Business, The Effect Is Separation.

Life Is The Constant Opportunity To Wake Up.

The Last Story: God Is Everything, God Is Good.

Seeking Love Keeps You From The Awareness That You Already Have It—that You Are It.

Love Asks For Nothing. Only Personalities Want Something.

So There's Only Transcendence In The Moment. Nobody Can Be Transcended Forever. That's Why I Say, "who Cares If You're Enlightened Forever?"

Our Parents, Our Children, Our Spouses, And Our Friends Will Continue To Press Every Button We Have, Until We Realize What It Is That We Don't Want To Know About Ourselves, Yet. They Will Point Us To Our Freedom Every Time.

I Live In A State Of Grace, Where I Don't Have To Know.

We Fear Only What We Haven’t Understood.

When You Believe That Your Problem Is Caused By Someone Or Something Else, You Become Your Own Victim.

When I Believed My Thoughts I Suffered.

In The Fall, You Don't Grieve Because The Leaves Are Falling And Dying. You Say, "isn't It Beautiful!" Well, We're The Same Way. There Are Seasons. We All Fall Sooner Or Later. It's All So Beautiful. And Our Concepts, Without Investigation, Keep Us From Knowing This. It's Beautiful To Be A Leaf, To Be Born, To Fall, To Give Way To The Next, To Become Food For The Roots. It's Life, Always Changing Its Form And Always Giving Itself Completely. We All Do Our Part. No Mistake.

You Are Your Only Hope, Because We're Not Changing Until You Do. Our Job Is To Keep Coming At You, As Hard As We Can, With Everything That Angers, Upsets, Or Repulses You, Until You Understand. We Love You That Much, Whether We're Aware Of It Or Not. The Whole World Is About You.

I Like To Say Understanding Is The Power.

To Argue With Reality Is To Argue With God

When You Run In Fear, It's Square Into The Wall.

Even Breathing Is A Contribution.

It's Only Our Story That Keeps Us From Knowing That We Always Have Everything We Need.

Every Mind Deserves To Be Free. When The Mind Is Free, That's The End Of Suffering.

The Pain Shows You What's Left To Investigate.

As Far As Intellect, What Else Is There? Without Intellect, No Story And No World.

If You Think The Cause Of Your Problem Is 'out There,' You'll Try To Solve It From The Outside. Take The Shortcut: Solve It From Within.

Love Is Worth Living. Why Do You Trade Life For Less?

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.

Forgiveness Is Just Another Name For Freedom.

I Used To Sleep On The Floor Next To The Bed, Because I Believed That I Didn't Even Deserve A Bed To Sleep In. And Then, One Morning, A Cockroach Crawled Onto My Leg. I Looked At It, And Suddenly I Awoke From A Kind Of Hypnotic Trance In Which I Had Been All My Life.

Your Parents Are Your Projection-nothing More.

Happiness Is The Natural State For Someone Who Knows That There's Nothing To Know.

Insanity Is Arguing With Reality.

Do You Know Anyone Who Hasn't Changed His Mind? This Door Was A Tree, Then It Will Be Firewood For Someone, Then It Will Return To Air And Earth. We're All Like That, Constantly Changing. It's Simply Honest To Report That You've Changed Your Mind When You Have. When You're Afraid Of What People Will Think If You Speak Honestly, That's Where You Become Confused.

I've Heard People Say That They Cling To Their Painful Thoughts Because They're Afraid That Without Them They Wouldn't Be Activists For Peace. "if I Feel Peaceful," They Say, "why Would I Bother Taking Action At All?"

Judge Your Neighbor, Write It Down. Ask Four Questions, Turn It Around.

The Best Way Of Leading People Is To Let Them Find Their Own Way.

If You Are Mentally Somewhere Else, You Miss Real Life

I Do Whatever I Can To Serve Peace. My Job Is The End Of Suffering.

The Work Is Four Questions And A Turnaround. The Work Is A Way To Identify And Question The Thoughts That Cause All The Suffering And Violence In The World. The Work Is A Very, Very Simple Process. It's For Anyone Who Can Answer A Question That Is Willing To. It Takes A Bit Of Willingness And An Open Mind.

Any Stressful Thought That You Have About The Planet, For Example, Shows You Where You Are Stuck, Where Your Energy Is Being Exhausted In Not Fully Meeting Life As It Is, Without Conditions.

For Me, If Somebody Tells Me To Go Away, That Is An Opportunity For Me To Give Them A Better Life. And That's An Opportunity For Me To Know And Realize Where Not To Be. It's An Opportunity For Me To See What Could Be Better Than Being With That Person I Love.

Here’s How A Child Listens: You Tell Him Something, And He Puts His Own Interpretation On What You Said. That’s What He Hears. No One Has Ever Heard You.

When We Question Our Thoughts, We See That The Craziness Was Never In The World, But In Us.

The World Isn't What I've Believed It To Be, And I Am Not What I Believed Me To Be, And Neither Is Anyone.

Until You Look Forward To All Criticism, Your Work's Not Done.

The Whole World Is Simply My Story, Projected Back To Me On The Screen Of My Own Perception. All Of It.

To Understand Our Own Thinking Is To Understand All Thinking.

Nothing Outside You Can Ever Give You What You're Looking For.

No One Can Hurt Me - That's My Job.

Any Thought Of Discomfort Or Stress Is An Alarm That Lets You Know You're Believing An Untrue Thought

If Someone Says, "katie, You Are Out Of Order," Over Something I've Said, Or, "katie, You Are Wrong," If I Defend Myself Or Justify Myself, Then I Have Just Started The War.

Fear Has Only Two Causes: The Thought Of Losing What You Have Or The Thought Of Not Getting What You Want.

I Could Go On And On About How The Statements And Concepts That Used To Depress Me Now Bring Me Joy, But That Is Not Easily Understood For People Who Think The Way I Used To Think And Believe What I Used To Believe.

You Cannot Hurt Me. Only I Can Do That.

It Is Not Your Business To Love Me. It Is Mine.

What I Invite People To Do Is To Look At Their Lives Just The Way That They Have Lived Them. Not To Change Anything, And Not To Do Positive Thinking At All.

Positive Thinking

The World Is What You Believe It To Be, And It Changes As You Change.

Fear Is Blind. There Are Some Options In It, But They're Very Limited As Compared To The Options Available To The Fearless Mind.

No One Can Give You Freedom But You.

Freedom Of Expression

Ultimately, I Am All I Can Know.

Everything Happens For Me, Not To Me.

Love Is Who We Are Without Our Stories.

Stress Never Feels As Natural As Peace Does

When I Was In My Early Forties, I Slept With A Loaded Gun Under My Bed. Id Become Severely Depressed In My Thirties, And For Almost A Decade I Spiraled Down Into Paranoia, Rage, Self-loathing, And Thoughts Of Suicide.

When You Think That Someone Or Something Other Than Yourself Needs To Change, You're Mentally Out Of Your Business.

The Only Way I Can Be Angry At You Is When I Have Thought, Said, Or Done Something That Is Unkind In My Own Opinion.

Nothing Comes Ahead Of Its Time, And Nothing Ever Happened That Didn't Need To Happen.

One Morning As I Lay Sleeping On The Floor, A Cockroach Crawled Over My Foot. And I Opened My Eyes Out Of This Dead Sleep - About A 43-year Sleep - And In Place Of All That Darkness Was A Joy That I Can't Describe.

The Ego’s Job Is To Kill Everything But Itself

The Mind Is So Tricky. It Will Say, "no One Cares. Is It True? Well, Someone Does. Let's See: So-and-so Doesn't Care. Well, Maybe They Do. Well, There Is Someone Who Doesn't Care." It Just Shifts And Shifts And Shifts, So It Can Keep All Of Its Concepts Intact.

What's Happening In The World Is A Natural Course Of Events.

We May Appear To Be Mean But We're Really Only Frightened.

Until We Question Our Stressful Thoughts, We Remain Victims Of The Images In Our Head.

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It. It’s Not Our Thoughts, But Our Attachment To Our Thoughts, That Causes Suffering. Attaching To A Thought Means Believing That It’s True, Without Inquiring. A Belief Is A Thought That We’ve Been Attaching To, Often For Years.

How Do You React When You Think You Need People's Love? Do You Become A Slave For Their Approval?

Without Our Stories, We Are Not Only Able To Act Clearly And Fearlessly, We Are Also A Friend, A Listener. We Are People Living Happy Lives. We Are Appreciation And Gratitude That Have Become As Natural As Breath Itself. Happiness Is The Natural State For Someone Who Knows That There's Nothing To Know And That We Already Have Everything We Need, Right Here Now.

You Don't Have To Feel Bad To Act Kindly. Love Doesn't Stand By, It Moves With The Speed Of Clarity.

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.

The Way To Truly Help Someone Is For Me To Not Get Immersed In Their Suffering.

The Mind Usually Says, “i Know, I Know, I Know.” But The “don’t-know Mind” Is Where Wisdom Lives.

It's Not The Darkness That People Fear; It's What They Imagine Into The Darkness.

I Really Believe I'm Right. So, Tell Me, Where Am I Wrong?

If You Knew How Important You Are, You Would Fragment Into A Billion Pieces And Just Be Light.

Inquiry Appears To Be A Process Of Thinking, But Actually It's A Way To Undo Thinking. Thoughts Lose Their Power Over Us When We Realize That They Simply Appear In The Mind. They're Not Personal. Through The Work, Instead Of Escaping Or Suppressing Our Thoughts, We Learn To Meet Them With Unconditional Love And Understanding.

Unconditional Love

Nothing Can Cost You Someone You Love. The Only Thing That Can Cost You Your Husband Is If You Believe A Thought. That's How You Move Away From Him. That's How The Marriage Ends. You Are One With Your Husband Until You Believe The Thought That He Should Look A Certain Way, He Should Give You Something, He Should Be Something Other Than What He Is. That's How You Divorce Him. Right Then And There You Have Lost Your Marriage.

Mind Changes, And As A Result, The World Changes. A Clear Mind Heals Everything That Needs To Be Healed.

We Begin To Not Be Human, As We've Known It, Any Longer. But To Be Just Creative Minds And Action, Whereas Right Now We're Confused Minds And Actions, And Our Environment Mirrors That Back To Us.

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.

Since The Past Is Unreal And The Future Is Unreal, All Your Thoughts Are About Nothing.

I Have Never Experienced A Stressful Feeling That Wasn't Caused By Attaching To An Untrue Thought. Behind Every Uncomfortable Feeling, There's A Thought That Isn't True For Us.

Uncomfortable Feeling

Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

The World Is As You Perceive It To Be. For Me, Clarity Is A Word For Beauty. It’s What I Am. And When I’m Clear, I See Only Beauty. Nothing Else Is Possible.

We Don’t Attach To Things; We Attach To Our Stories About Them.

I Was Clinically Depressed. I Was Paranoid. I Was Agoraphobic. I Would Have Days At A Time Of Not Being Able To Even Bathe Or Brush My Teeth.

I Am Entirely Motivated Without Anger. The Truth Sets Us Free, And Freedom Acts.

If You Want Real Control, Drop The Illusion Of Control; Let Life Have You. It Does Anyway. You’re Just Telling Yourself The Story Of How It Doesn’t.

It's Difficult To Seek Other People's Love. It's Deadly. In Seeking It You Lose What Is Genuine. This Is The Prison We Create For Ourselves As We Seek What We Already Have.

The Nightmare Always Becomes Laughter, Once It's Understood.

I Think That's The Trick: Wanting What I Have.

Actually, I Can't Take Credit For Any Of My Decisions. I Noticed One Day That All My Decisions Were Making Themselves, And Always At The Right Time. I Haven't Had To Make One Decision Since Then. They Are Always Made For Me, And They Come From The Wisdom That Is In Us All. I Trust That Wisdom Completely. That Trust Itself Was A Decision Made For Me As Inquiry Cleared My Mind. No Decision, No Fear.

When I Am Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What I Want.

You’ve Never Reacted To Someone Else. You Project Meaning Onto Nothing. And You React To The Meaning You’ve Projected

Who I Believed Myself To Be Was A Hopeless Case. I Would Wake Up In The Mornings And Notice I Was Still Alive And Breathing And Hate God, Hate Myself, Hate Life, And Contemplate Ways Of Killing Myself.

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Give Me What I Wanted; I Started Giving It To Myself.

I Know That Even At Moments Of Apparent Danger, Nothing Is Out Of Order Or Lacking, Other Than Our Own Unquestioned Thoughts About Those Moments.

If I Want Something, I Go Get It. Anything That I Believe Will Stop Me, I Question.

I Like To Say It Was Born Out Of Laughter.

What Is Perfect Health? The Unraveling Of All Imagined States Of Mind

All The Advice You Ever Gave Your Partner Is For You To Hear

Until The Mind Is Open, The Heart Stays Closed. The Open Mind Is The Key To The Open Heart.

An Unquestioned Mind Is The World Of Suffering.

Life Is Simple. Everything Happens For You, Not To You. Everything Happens At Exactly The Right Moment, Neither Too Soon Nor Too Late. You Don't Have To Like It... It's Just Easier If You Do.

When The Creative Mind Is Unleashed And Understands Its True Nature, It's Unlimited. There's Nothing You Cannot Do.

Any Story That You Tell About Yourself Causes Suffering. There Is No Authentic Story.

The Person Who Finds Peace Inside And Lives It, Is The One Who Teaches What True Peace Is.

We're All Looking For Love, In Our Confusion, Until We Find Our Way Back To The Realization That Love Is What We Already Are.

Do You Want To Be Right More Than You Want To Know The Truth? It's The Truth That Set Me Free. Acceptance, Peace, And Less Attachment To A World Of Suffering Are All Effects Of Doing The Work. They're Not The Goals. Do The Work For The Love Of Freedom, For The Love Of Truth.

We Are Never Really In Control. We Just Think We Are When Things Happen To Be Going Our Way.

What Would It Be Like To Let Go Of Wanting Things To Be Other Than They Are?

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality.

An Uncomfortable Feeling Is Not An Enemy. It's A Gift That Says, "get Honest; Inquire." We Reach Out For Alcohol, Or Television, Or Credit Cards, So We Can Focus Out There And Not Have To Look At The Feeling. And That's As It Should Be, Because In Our Innocence We Haven't Known How. So Now What We Can Do Is Reach Out For A Paper And A Pencil, Write Thought Down, And Investigate.

Uncomfortable Feeling

Mind Is Everything. There's Nothing That It's Not.

Everything That Happens Is God's Will. When You Realize That, You're Home Free.

The Power Of One! If I Can't Stop War In My Life, How Can I Expect Politicians To Stop War In The World? I Can't. And We All Have Equal Wisdom, So If I Can Do It Then I Know That Anyone Can Do It If Their Mind Is Open To Answering Just Four Simple Questions And Beginning There.

What You’re Believing In The Moment Creates Your Suffering Or Your Happiness.

The End Of Suffering Happens In This Very Moment, Whether You're Watching A Terrorist Attack Or Doing The Dishes. And Compassion Begins At Home. Because I Don't Believe My Thoughts, Sadness Can't Exist. That's How I Can Go To The Depths Of Anyone's Suffering, If They Invite Me, And Take Them By The Hand And Walk Them Out Of It Into The Sunlight Of Reality. I've Taken That Walk Myself.
