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.

More From Byron Katie

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

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?” My Answer Is “because That's What Love Does.” To Think That We Need Sadness Or Outrage To Motivate Us To Do What's Right Is Insane. As If The Clearer And Happier You Get, The Less Kind You Become. As If When Someone Finds Freedom, She Just Sits Around All Day With Drool Running Down Her Chin. My Experience Is The Opposite. Love Is Action.

I Am Never Unhappy, You Can Achieve That As Well.

We Do Not Mature Through Age. We Mature In Awareness.

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.

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.

Your Understanding Of Another Person Is Limited By What You Think You Already Know. So When You Just Listen, The Person You Meet Won't Match Your Preconception. The Exciting Thing Is That You Usually Meet Someone Much Wiser And Kinder Than You Expected. You Might Also Lose Track Of Your Ideas About Who You Are.

You Don't Get To Vote On What Is. Have You Noticed?

If Your Beliefs Are Stressful And You Question Them, You Come To See That They Aren't True - Whereas Prior To Questioning, You Absolutely Believe Them. How Can You Live In Joy When You're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness, Frustration, Anger, Alienation, And Loneliness?

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

When You Question What You Believe, You Leave The World, Really, And What The World Believes. It Puts You In A Very Interesting Position.

I Think Our Children Are Afraid To Die Because We're Afraid To Die.

I Love What I Think, And I'm Never Tempted To Believe It. Thoughts Are Like The Wind Or The Leaves On The Trees Or The Raindrops Falling. They're Not Personal, They Don't Belong To Us, They Just Come And Go. When They're Met With Understanding, They're Friends.

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'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?"

The Ultimate And Dearest - And, Again, Only - Relationship We Have Is The Relationship We Have With Our Thoughts.

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 World Is A Projection Of Our Thoughts - The Thoughts We Believe.

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

The Nature Of Mind Is That It Loves Everything Once It Loves Itself, Just As It Opposes Everything When It Opposes Itself.

You Can't Drop Concepts. You Can Only Shine A Little Flashlight On Them As You Do Inquiry, An You See That What You Thought Was True Wasn't. And When The Truth Is Seen, There's Nothing You Can Do To Make The Lie True For You Again.

Until You Can See Everything In The World As Your Friend, Your Work Is Not Done.

When You Realize That Suffering And Discomfort Are The Call To Inquiry, You May Actually Begin To Look Forward To Uncomfortable Feelings. You May Even Experience Them As Friends Coming To Show You What You Have Not Yet Investigated Thoroughly Enough.

Uncomfortable Feeling

Insanity Is Arguing With Reality.

So, How Do You Get Back To Heaven? To Begin With, Just Notice The Thoughts That Take You Away From It. You Don't Have To Believe Everything Your Thoughts Tell You.

It May Seem Strange At First To Get To Know Yourself In This Way, But Becoming Familiar With Your Stressful Thoughts Will Show You The Way Home To Everything You Need.

I Believe In The Power Of Every Human Being To End Suffering.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

To Argue With Reality Is To Argue With God

The Miracle Of Love Comes To You In The Presence Of The Uninterpreted Moment. If You Are Mentally Somewhere Else, You Miss Real Life.

Peace Doesn't Require Two People; It Requires Only One. It Has To Be You. The Problem Begins And Ends There.

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

When Your Son Is Healthy And Happy, You're Healthy And Happy. And When Your Son Is Not Healthy, Let's Say You're Unhappy.

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.

Freedom Is Our Birthright.

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

I'm Most Inspired Whenever I Hear Of Even The Smallest Act Of Human Kindness.

My Life Is A Contribution.

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

Reality Is Always Kinder Than Your Thinking.

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

Lack Of Understanding Is Always Painful.

That's Where The Fear Comes From-from Your Uninvestigated Thoughts.

Nothing Terrible Has Ever Happened Except In Our Thinking. Reality Is Always Good, Even In Situations That Seem Like Nightmares. The Story We Tell Is The Only Nightmare That We Have Lived.

Every Uncomfortable Feeling, Every Pain, Every Moment Of Stress & Suffering Is For Your Own Self-realizatio N.

Thinking That What You Want Equals What's Best For You Is A Dead End.

Some Children Are Afraid To Die Because Their Parents Are Afraid To Die. My Own Children Have Come To Understand That It's Totally Okay With Me If They Die. They Don't Have To Live For My Sake.

There's Never A Mistake In The Universe. So If Your Partner Is Angry, Good. If There Are Things About Him That You Consider Flaws, Good, Because These Flaws Are Your Own, You're Projecting Them, And You Can Write Them Down, Inquire, And Set Yourself Free. People Go To India To Find A Guru, But You Don't Have To: You're Living With One. Your Partner Will Give You Everything You Need For Your Own Freedom.

Joy Is A Natural Way Of Being.

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

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

It Takes Only One Person To Have A Successful Relationship.

Successful Relationship

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality. We Can Know That Reality Is Good Just As It Is, Because When We Argue With It, We Experience Tension And Frustration. We Don't Feel Natural Or Balanced. When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

Arguing With Reality It Like Trying To Teach A Cat To Bark.

You Can't Have An Up Without A Down. You Can't Have A Left Without A Right. This Is Duality. If You Have A Problem, You Must Already Have The Solution. The Question Is, Do You Really Want The Solution, Or Do You Want To Perpetuate The Problem?

We Suffer Only Until We Realize That We Can't Know Anything.

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

Sadness Isn't A Natural Response.

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

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.

The Mind's Job Is To Validate What It Thinks.

Defense Is The First Act Of War.

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

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.

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 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.

When You Become A Lover Of What Is, The War Is Over.

If You Question Your Thoughts About When Your Son Is Not Healthy, You Come To See That You're The Only One You're Worried About. It's Like Without Him, You're Not Happy - So It's All About Your Happiness. You Want Him To Live For You - For Your Happiness.

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

Live In The Moment

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.

How Do I Know That I Don’t Need What I Want? I Don’t Have It.

Law Of Attraction

Life Is Simple. Everything Happens For You, Not To You.

So, How Can We Live In Joy - And How Can We Know That We're Supposed To Live In Joy The Way People Tell Us To - When We're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness And Frustration And Anger And Alienation And Loneliness? When We're Believing Those Thoughts, We Think That's The World, Rather Than What We're Believing About The World. We're Like Lost Little Children.

The Only Thing You Fear Is The Unreality That You Yourself Have Invented.

I Shouldn't Steal In This World.

Would You Rather Be Right Or Free?

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.

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.

If I Think The Environment In The World Needs To Be Cleaned Up, Let Me Clean Up My Own Environment. Let Me Clean Up The Environment In My Head - Let Me Work With That Pollution And That Ecosystem.

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

It's Not Your Job To Like Me - It's Mine

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

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.

When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

That's The Purpose Of Stress. It's A Friend. It's An Alarm Clock, Built In To Let You Know That It's Time To Do The Work.

When You're Operating On Uninvestigated Theories Of What's Going On And You Aren't Even Aware Of It, You're In What I Call "the Dream." Often The Dream Becomes Troubling; Sometimes It Even Turns Into A Nightmare. At Times Like These, You May Want To Test The Truth Of Your Theories By Doing The Work On Them. The Work Always Leaves You With Less Of Your Uncomfortable Story. Who Would You Be Without It? How Much Of Your World Is Made Up Of Unexamined Stories? You'll Never Know Until You Inquire.

Times Like These

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.

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

Your Parents Are Your Projection-nothing More.

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

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

Don't Be Careful. You Could Hurt Yourself.

Stress Is An Alarm Clock That Lets You Know You're Attached To Something Not True For You.

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

Everyone Has Equal Wisdom. It Is Absolutely Equally Distributed. No One Is Wiser Than Anyone Else.

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

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.

All Sadness Is A Tantrum.

It's A Wonderful World When You Have What You Want At All Times.

I Love What I Think, And I'm Never Tempted To Believe It.

Ultimately, I Am All I Can Know.

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

The Most Important Relationship Is The Mind's Relationship With Itself. In Other Words, The Ultimate - And, Really, The Only - Relationship You Have Is The Relationship With Your Own Thoughts.

Important Relationships

When Safety Is Our Priority, We Live Our Lives Being Very, Very Careful, And We Wind Up Having No Lives

For Me, Everything Is God. Everything And Everyone. So It Was Just, God Needs Me Now, Now, Now.

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

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.

I Didn't Fight Or Shame My Thoughts, I Questioned Them, And They Stopped Shaming Me.

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

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

Who Would You Be Without The Thought That Happiness Depends On Someone Else?

It's For Each Of Us To Look At What We Really Do Believe - What Our Belief System Really Consists Of.

What We Believe, We See.

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

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.

Money Is Not My Business; My Thinking Is My Business. I Don't Have Any Other Business.

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."

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

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

Love Is Action. It's Clear, It's Kind, It's Effortless, And It's Irresistible.

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

Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

You Cannot Hurt Me. Only I Can Do That.

A Lover Of What Is Looks Forward To Everything: Life, Death, Disease, Loss, Earthquakes, Bombs, Anything The Mind Might Be Tempted To Call 'bad.' Life Will Bring Us Everything We Need, To Show Us What We Haven't Undone Yet. Nothing Outside Ourselves Can Make Us Suffer. Except For Our Unquestioned Thoughts, Every Place Is Paradise.

If Your Happiness Depends On Your Children Being Happy, That Makes Them Your Hostages. So Stay Out Of Their Business, Stop Using Them For Your Happiness, And Be Your Own Happiness. And That Way You Are The Teacher For Your Children: Someone Who Knows How To Live A Happy Life.

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?"

Love Is Who We Are Without Our Stories.

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

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.

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

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.

Asking The Questions - That's What Changes Lives. Every Cell In Your Body Is Awake With Inquiry. And You Cannot Believe The Old Thoughts Again.

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

Love Asks For Nothing. Only Personalities Want Something.

I Am The Perpetrator Of My Suffering - But Only All Of It.

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.

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

Reality Is Always The Story Of A Past, And What I Love About The Past Is—it's Over.

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours, And God's.

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

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.

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

If You Are Mentally Somewhere Else, You Miss Real Life

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

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

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.

Your Most Intimate Relationship Is The One You Have With Your Thoughts.

Intimate Relationships

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

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.

An Unquestioned Mind Is The World Of Suffering.

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.

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

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

You're Never Given More Pain Than You Can Handle. You Never, Ever Get More Than You Can Take.

'i Don't Know' Is My Favorite Position.

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.
