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.

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.

The Work Reveals That What You Think Shouldn't Have Happened Should Have Happened. It Should Happened Because It Did, And No Thinking In The World Can Change It. This Doesn't Mean That You Condone It Or Approve Of It. It Just Means That You Can See Things Without Resistance And Without The Confusion Of Your Inner Struggle. No One Wants Their Children To Get Sick, No One Wants To Be In A Car Accident; But When These Things Happen, How Can It Be Helpful To Mentally Argue With Them? We Know Better Than To Do That, Yet We Do It, Because We Don't Know How To Stop.

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.

There's No Nightmare You Can't Wake Yourself Up From.

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.

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.

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.

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

Spare Yourself From Seeking Love, Approval, Or Appreciation-from Anyone. And Watch What Happens In Reality, Just For Fun.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

When We Work With Our Thinking, Then To Have Great Wealth Is The Same As To Have Nothing. That's The Only Freedom.

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.

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

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.

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

When We're Not Defending And Justifying, And We're Being Very Still, Our Answers Can And Do Shock Us.

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

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

To Think That I Know What's Best For Anyone Else Is To Be Out Of My Business. Even In The Name Of Love, It Is Pure Arrogance, And The Result Is Tension, Anxiety, And Fear. Do I Know What's Right For Me? That Is My Only Business. Let Me Work With That Before I Try To Solve Problems For You.

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.

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

Just Keep Coming Home To Yourself, You Are The One Who You've Been Waiting For.

Just Because We Love Someone, We Begin To Notice That Love Is An Experience And We Have To Do Something With It. We Don't Have To Marry People Or Date Them Because We Care About Them Very Deeply. It's An Experience.

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

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

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

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

You Can Never Make Yourself Believe That You're Loveable, However Hard You Try, Because When The Chips Are Down What You Really Believe Rises To The Surface Of The Mind To Replace What You Want To Believe.

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It.

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

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

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

That's What I Love About Integrity. Each Time We Go Inside, That's Where It Is.

Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

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

If You Don't Like Your World, Question Your Thoughts About It.

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

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

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.

Thoughts Are Just What Is. They Appear. They're Innocent. They're Not Personal.

The Pain Shows You What's Left To Investigate.

Everything Happens For Me, Not To Me.

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.

Even Breathing Is A Contribution.

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

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

To Argue With Reality Is To Argue With God

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?"

It's Quite An Amazing Experience To See The Same Life With And Without The Thought. We Come To See How Crazy A Thought Can Make Us When We Believe It.

Amazing Experiences

There Are No Physical Problems-only Mental Ones.

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.

Rather Than Understand The Original Cause-a Thought-we Try To Change The Stressful Feelings By Looking Outside Ourselves.

No One Can Give You Freedom But You.

Freedom Of Expression

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

All Sadness Is A Tantrum.

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

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

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.

To Me, Health Is A Balanced Mind. A Balanced Mind Knows How To Get Enough Rest, How To Eat Properly, How To Exercise. I Have Come Out As Just A Balanced Human Being, And I Don't Know Anything Finer Than That.

If Our Thinking Is Clear, How Could Work Or Money Be The Problem? Our Thinking Is All We Need To Change.

How Do I Know It Was Meant To Happen This Way? Because It Did.

Meant To Happen

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

It Takes Only One Person To Have A Successful Relationship.

Successful Relationship

Each Time Your Mind Changes Your Whole World Is Changed.

People Try So Hard To Let Go Of Their Negative Behaviors And Thoughts, And It Doesn't Work, Or It Works Only For A Short Time. I Didn't Let Go Of My Negative Thoughts; I Questioned Them, And Then They Let Go Of Me, And So Did My Addictions And Depression.

When I Believed My Thoughts I Suffered.

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

If You Realized How Beautiful You Are, You Would Fall At Your Own Feet.

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

When You Act Like A Teacher, It's Usually Because You're Afraid To Be The Student.

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

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

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.

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

Life Is The Constant Opportunity To Wake Up.

The More You Reveal, The More You Have To Question And The Freer You Get. Until, Finally, You're Absolutely Exposed. And That Leaves You In A Fearless Position, Because You Can Work In The World Without The Fear Of Being Found Out. That Is Freedom.

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.

Every Moment A Gift: Are You Unwrapping Yours Now, And Now, And Now?

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

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.

Depression, Pain, And Fear Are Gifts That Say, "sweetheart, Take A Look At Your Thinking In This Moment. You're Living In A Story That Isn't True For You." Living A Lie Is Always Stressful. And Investigating A Lie Through The Work Always Leads You Back To Who You Are. Who You Are Is Not An Option. You Are Love. It Hurts To Believe You're Other Than Who You Are, To Live Any Story Less Than Love.

There's No Way That A Clear Mind Can Live An Unhappy Life.

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

Sleep Just Gives The Ego A Little Time Out. It Has To Stay Strong In Order To Be Something That It Isn't.

When You Srgue With Reality, You Lose, But Only 100% Of The Time.

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.

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

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.

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

I Have An Expression I Say A Lot: I'm In A Hurry. There's Suffering On This Planet That Is So Easy To Break Through If The Mind Is Open To Doing So.

Clarity Moves Much More Efficiently Than Violence Or Stress.

Defense Is The First Act Of War.

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

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

Live In The Moment

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

They Say, "katie, You're Wrong." And If I Say, "how Dare You Say That? I Have Studied And Studied." Or, "i Am An Expert In" Whatever Area We're Talking About. Or, "no, You Are Wrong! And I Think You're Rude!" Or Anything Like That, And If We Don't Say It Out Loud, Maybe We Think It, But That's Stressful. The Moment I've Defended, In Any Way, I've Started The War.

Do You Want To Meet The Love Of Your Life? Look In The Mirror.

There Is No Peace In The World Until You Find Peace Within Yourself In This Moment.

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.
