Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.

Inspirational, Pain, Tired

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.47, Random House

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.

It's very benign, it seems, to think, "There's a tree." In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, "Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world." We begin to think, "Who am I in a world without trees?"

Beautiful, Thinking, Order

But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.

Passion, Happy Life, Thinking

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.

War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.

War, Should

Source: rayhemachandra.com

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.

Inquiry, Stories, Painful

"Byron Katie Spiritual Leader. Story UNteller. Ambassador of Inner Peace". Interview with Gina Murdock, www.awaken.com. September 30, 2013.

Time, Blow, Winning

I really believe I'm right. So, tell me, where am I wrong?

Children, Parent, Sake

Defense is the first act of war.

War, Stay Calm, Firsts

Twitter post from Feb 16, 2011

Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.

Stress, Feelings, Trying

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.6, Random House

All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.

Life, Wise, Wisdom
